of the United States Circuit Court, and

when an important case was called
the District Attorney announced that II

"By whose authority?" asked Judge
Gresham. "By instructions from Wash

evasive, unsatisfactory. "We do not rec
ognize the right of anybody at Washing

Judge Gresham, ''to interfere whether

a cause before tn court. Proceed with
the trial Of the case" The trial was

This story, current in the papers several

He Meant Well.

The St. Louis Republican tells of an
amusing incident that occurred in u
church of that city couple of Sundays
ago. A gentleman was the owner of a
very unique pin in the shape of a large
black spider, the body Of which is a
large amethyst. This ornament was
presented to young lady friend and
she wore it on her dress to service. It
so happened, and unfortunately, that a
young gentleman near her perceived
the lifelike ornament on tire young lady's
dy's dress, and to all appearances crawl
ing up to her face. A look of terror
overspread his features, and without
any hesitation he endeavored to br ush
off what to him appeared tarantula.
He missed 1t and brushed at it again,
when the almost audible smiles of a few
who witnessed the gentleman's heroic
endeavors attracted the young lady's at
tention. He became very red in the
face when he discovered his mistake,
and it will be long time before he ut.
tends that church again.

was taken up. He then invited those
who were sick and afflicted in the audi

by the manipulations of the doctor,

only laughed at the proceedings. Ifthe
