A Letter From MIR. ScoviIIe.

The editor the Catholic Mirror, of Balti-
more, has received letter from Mr.. George
Sc0ville, the counsel of Guiteau, the assas-
sin, dated Washington, November II, which
reads as follows: "You do me injustice in
your issue of this week, in assuming that
Mr. w. b. O'Donnell was rejected as a
juror in the Guitcau case by reason of his
beinga Catholic. That was not 50. On the
contrary at least two jurors were accepted
by tho defense mainly because, being
Catholics it was believed they would act
up to their convictions Of duty regardless
of consequences. Personally, am what is
called in Chicago a Thomas Methodist. No
one who is familiar with the liberal life
and teachings of that eminent divine, re-
Gently expelled from the Methodist Church
for alleged heresy, can mistake as to the
enlarged views of his followers on denom-
national questions. We accord to all
Christians the same measure of honest
belief and sincerity of life which We claim
for ourselves

James j. Boyd, venerable professional
guide, was in the dock at Police Court to-
day on the charge of being vagrant and
without visible means Of support Boyd Is
one of the oldest and best known of the
Capitol guides, and has lately stationed
himself near the War, Navy and state De-
partment, and has pioted strangers
through that building. Judge Smell stated
that the evidence showed no complaint
against the defendant of drunkenness or
any criminal offcnse, but that he was
merely charged with inquiring from
strangers whether they wished guide
His Honor stated that he did not believe in
Furnishing innocent men for the guilt Of
others, and the fact that the infamous
monte men and others had given the guides
o bad reputation was no reason why he
should punish man who was legitimately
employed in attracting the attention OF
visitors to the points of interest of the city
The case was dismissed.

Protect the Partridgcs.

Fredericksburg News.
The game season is now at its height, and
sportsmen are availing themselves OF their
legal privilege. Fcathered game in this
immediate section is not very abundant
and some steps should be taken if possible
TO protect it from wholesale destruction by
pothunters and poachers, of whose ravages
serious complaint is made by our resident
sportsmen the most serious being in regard
to the destruction of cartridges. The
severity of last winter made sad havoc
with this favorite game bird, and unless
some steps are taken to protect them they
will be totally annihilated. The remedy is
for the farmers to post their lands and
rigidly prosecute all offenders, and for the
legitimate sportsmen to report the presence
of poachers from abroad, who, regardless OF
the pleasure and rights of others, wantonly
destroy and carry away large numbers OF
birds.

vorce suit was somewhat spicy yesterday

short time. Mrs. Mary L. Lugenbcel, the

from the iloorand carried her to the room of

hand or clenchcd fist. She saw no marks
or bruises on the person of her daughter to
show where she had been hit
She further testified that Mr. Chrstiancy
and his sons were drunk every day that she
was at the house, and that fighting was Of
Il daily occurrence.
During the examination Mrs Chrstiancy

The Cooking School.

The ladies whe were so fortunate as to
listen TO Mrs. Campbells lecture at the
cooking school on yesterday have reason
for congratulation. Rarely has it been
given to hear so much plain, simple
truth told in manner at once so forcible
and so unaffected. Mrs. Campbell has a
calm, pleasant face, u manner singularly
free from all Objectionable points, and the
subject matter of her discourse was unusual
ly attractive and instructive. Those who
were present must entertain higher opin-
ion of the dignity of labor and the impor-
lance to the dyspeptic tribes of Unale Sam
of thorough knowledge of the culinary
art.
The classes will be commenced as soon as
d sufficient number of pupils are en-
rolled.
The men who enjoy good food should urge
upon our ladies the necessity Of proper at
tention to such an important part Of the
domestic service of the household.

Element of the Tennessee debt as provided
by the late Legislature. He pronounccs
the 1908 bill an iniquity which should be
