with justice in petty cases IN the
basement Of the temple of Thenis.
One fine day his honor had Just given

tiff and defendant we're women. and the
defendant, who had been ordered to
pay the debt. amounting to about
$2.75, with cost. happened to Be a

There is no appeal to the court

royal wedding, over which the entire Irish
population of st. Louis had q jollifcation, came
Of last week, at st. Lawrence O'Toole's
church, when John Sheahan and Miss Maggie
Tyne were made one flesh by the parish priest.
The bride Is one Of the Irish bellies Of st. Louis
and the bridegroom is a member of the police
detective force, but known throughout the city
as the King of Kerry Patch. The marriage is a
chapter In the history Of the city. In 1S40 that
portion of the city between 18th and
10th streets and O'Fallan and Cass ave-
nues was away out in the suburbs but was
thickly settled by Irish emigrants from County
Kerry. First among the settlers was Dennis
Sheahan, who moved to the Patch in 1647. The
Corkonians had settled In the neighborhood, but
the Patch was exclusively occupied by the Ker-
ryonians. When the war broke out old Den
Sheahan was an uncOmprOmising secessionist,
and for his OutspOken sentiments was incar-
cerated in the old Myrtle street prison. His re-
lease was secured by Frank p. Blair, and
shortly after the male population of the Patch
met in brickyard on Cass avenue and elected
him King of Kerry Patch. He died in 1876, but
before this he had often asked tine kerryOnians
to elect jeffrey Powers to the throne until his
son. Jack reached his majority. In accordance
with the dead kings wish Powers was elected
and crowned but in 1872 he went back to Ire
land The heir to the throne was still lad,
but great favorite among the subjects, who
elected James Culinane to hold the kingdom as
regent until the prince rOyal reached the age
OF twenty-one. In 1874 Prince Jack came of
age. and at mass-meeting was unanimously
elected to the throne, and he has since been the
potentate presiding over the destiny of the
Patch.
The wedding reception was attended by
Mayor Ewing. Commodore Smith, Chief Camb-
Dell. the pOiicce bnard. Captain Evans. Major
HarrIgan. the eXRegeu. Cunane and number
OF prominent citizens.

Of Evidence.
From the London Globe.

In connection with the expedition to Australia
OF Aessrs- Charles orion and ID. Smith, OF Clerk
enwell, for the purpose OF identifying the
lunatic, William Cresswell, at present confined
In the Paramatta asylum, near Sydney, as
Arthur Orion, an extraordinary piece Of evil
dence has come to light. 1t appears that Mr..
Smith had some considerable correspondence
with the late Mr.. Guildford Onslow in reference
to the proposed expedition to Australia, and in
letter to Mr. Smith, written In April last before
his DEATH Mr.. OnslOw says: 90 had an inter-
view at some considerable length with Sir
Henry Parkes. c. b. NJ g.. In London. on We'd
nesday last. who received me with great
courtesy. He remarked that as he had visited
both Darlinghurst and Paramatta asylums he
no doubt among the inmates saw Cresswel
whom he called Arthur Orion, but he never
knew him by his name: and that lie had never
even read the TichbOrne case; SO as regards
Arthur orion, or Cresswell. you will see Sir
Henry Parkes Is OF no use to us in this matter"
After detailing at some length his interview
with Sir Henry Parkes. Mr.. Onslow thus sums
the matter up: prudence suggests that you or
Mr.. kimber (the claimants SOLICITOR or a depu-
tattOn should wait on Sir Henry ParkeS (whO
was then in this country with the object of
giving to him the necessary guarantees and
notary public document to enable him to send
over the said lunatic forthwith by which YOU
and Charles Orion will be saved an expensive
and useless voyage to Sydney. The following
questions will then arise: l. What will you do
with Cresswell on his arrival: 2. How do you pro-
pose to meet the well known fact that Mrs. Jury
and Lady TichbOrne have shown that the Iunatic
is not Arthur CrtOn? 3. How do you propose to
secure that Cresswell's brother in Reading will
swear he Is not his brother? Consider all these
things well over before you act" 1t was stated
at the late national Tichborne conference that
the convict Thomas Castro rests the whole of
his case on the fact that the man CresSwell is
Arthur Orion.

and stout wagon drove to the entrance OF one
of the Lewiston hotels The buffalo robe was
comfortably tucked around rudy and downy
young man and plumb young woman gar
nished with bridal bonnet He helped her out
of the wagon and escorted into the parlor with
her round green box. After he had driven
off and pnt up the team at the stable of
a rival hotel. he reioined his mate and ex-
pressed a desire for q confidential interview
with the landlord. The latter pre-
sented himself, and the young man said - Me
and Harriet was married this morning. We
have started on little excursion. Before we
left home. marin put us up a little dinner and
we brought cOffee-pOt along. Now. we'd like
to heat the coffee and have table to eat the
dinner on-and perhaps a little sugar milk"
The landlord led the innocent pair into the
dining-rOOm and seated them at a table with
other guests. and they took the cover off their
little green box with CELEBRITY. They had a glo-

heartily. The gray horse carried home two

had paid him IS cents for dinner and 90 cents

ROlY DO XOu EAT SAnnl

Correspondence of the Detroit Free Press.
Some OF certain class of young New Workers
are awfully proud of President Arthur l was
saying to one of them how the Presidents grand
manner charmed everyone. Then he gave me a
very knowing look and said
"Oh. yes; he knows how to eat SOUP
Undoubtedly. and great many very COM
monpace people know how to do likewise-my-
self for instance
How do you eat it. pray?'
The regular regulation way. to be sure, as
laid down In all the standard works on ETH

and no matter how much | want more, never
ask for the second plate"
You're out of time; go eat soup with the
mummies."
"A new departure in soup eating-and
without the pale For goodness sake post
me-"
Listen to your preceptor: The newest
agony in soup, the esthetc. the intense manner
of imbibing it, Is to scoop it up with the spoon
away from you and take it from the edge of the
spoon. making graceful movement from the
soup to your mouth"
Send the news circling through space 1t is

w hat To Eat.

From the Toronto Globe.
The disadvantages of a redundancy of adpose
tissue are obvious it is not surprising that the
attention of medical men is at length being di-
r2cted diligently to the subject. Until the now
celebrated Banting issued the work which con-
sttutes his sole title to fame. the idea of curing
what is in reality q disease by a regular dietary
was hardly thought OF. The vulgar notion that
fat people are necessarily or naturally great
eaters has of course been for long dis
credited among intelligent people. Although
excessive fat may result from too free
Indulgence in certain kinds of food it is Just
as often due to other causes. With ami
mails. as q rule, flesh is made in proportion to
the amount of nutriment consumed while
among human beings it is frequently the case
that a fat man is ali abstemious eater. and a
thin cadaverOus person an inord;nate one
Temperament. heredity. and other causes often
exercise a greater influence than the food sup
Ply. Nevertheless. although corpuience may
net be caused 10y excessive eating. it may fire.
quently. though rot always. be cured by a
strict observance of dietary rules in connection
with abundant exercise Both the quail
ity and quantity of food absorbed are
of importance. While avoiding starva-
ton, the quantity of aliment
taken should be as limited as will preserve the
patient in health and satisfy the wants of ma
ture. The more recent physiological authori-
ton of the fat deposit as probably q product of
the decomposition OF the albumen In the food
although some Of the fat eaten is directly de-
posted in the tissues. In following out q sys-
TEN OF diet for the reduction of cOrpulency the
avoidance of butter. cream. fats. sauces pork
pastry and other specially tat-prOducing viands
is insisted on. while milk. bread. eggs. potatoes
beet, mutton sugar and rice should be partaken
of bat sparingly. Beer and strong liquors are
tabOOed. and tea and coffee. with little or no
milk and sugar. may be taken. Mr.. Banting
who followed out a strict dietary for year.
reduced his weight from 2O2 pounds to 156. and
his circumference By 1919 inches. but few OF
those who followed his example were successful
to the same extent. There is no question. how
ever. that any one who is willing to adopt the
severe regimen mentioned and take regular eX.
ercise can materially reduce his weight and size.
Some mineral waters of cathartc nature are
sometimes employed with favorable results.
Another remedy which has lately come into
vogue among men in LOndOn-the fairer sex
having long practiced it everywhere-is the
wearing of tightly laced cOrsets which is said
to have proved successful in many cases. AS to
the patent preparations sold as cOrrectives to
this habit of body. it is asserted that they are
not merely worthless. but positively dangerous.
at least one death having resulted from their
use.

High Art Male Attire.

From the New York Commercial Advertiser
The rage on aesthetic dress does not abate.
but rather increases in London and New York.
especially among men, who are as much, if not
more, absorbed in the subject than women. Mr..
j. A. Gotch, noted London architect, is con-
sidered the great authority of male attire. He
says that the chimney-pot hat is positively ugly.
tie an abomination. The proper Covering for the
throat should be tied in a knot The shirt he
thinks is Objectionable. 1t is worn only for the
cuffs, collar and front. seaman's JERSEYS shonld
take its place, with collar and cuffs on the out

cling men wear dresses which are at once con-
venient and picturesque. Outside or this. mr..
Gotch says that mans present costume is hid

For me and my heart till life Is done"
