WOman's Progress.

They were talking about the woman
suffrage conven ion AID the ex-Gov-
ernor of Maryland remarked: They
| ave been making progress. no doubt
of it. I think last Friday was the first
time in the history of this country when
woman sat as a judge in trial upon
which a mans liberty or imprisonment
depended. Marilla NJ. Kicker was the
judg. You pro- ably noticed that she
was appointed United States Commits
sioner a couple OF years ago. She at
tended the convention right along aud
sat on the platform every day, but she
didn't make any speeches. She has
made enough of them in her lifetime
and she d dn't propose to take up the
time which the newer delegates wanted.
They sent for her Friday afternoon to
60 to Ler Office and try case. I don't
know whether she has any other Office
than seal. but that's enough and all
the Office a United States Commissioner
needs. A pickpocket nam d Willing
had been ser need to six months in
Jail and fined 500, and it would have
amounted to imp; isonment for
fe except for provision OF
the law which enables him to get
out after serving month extra
time ii he can't pay. He has to Prove
this bero: e United States Commits
sioner, ard that's what they wanted
Marilla NJ. Kicker for. She sent her war
rant for the prisoner, and he was brought
out from the jail. District ATTORNEY
Worthington sent word that he could
not be there to OBJ ect and asked to have
the case adjourned. 1t appeared that
he had been given the proper notice and
IT. Kicker decided that the case
couldn't be ad burned. Sic heard the
evidence. decided that the man was en-
titled to his freedom, and told the o.
fcers to let the man go. They did so
and that's all there was OF it. But it
shows progress when a woman can
bring a man out of Jail on her warrant
and give him his libe. ty by her decree.
Mrs Kicker asked to be appointed No
tary Public some years ago and Attor-
ney-G General Devins decided that there
was no law for it and it couldn't be
done. MIR. Devins' successor overruled
his decision, howeger. He decided that
there was no law against it, and if she
was strong enough to press down the
notarial seal SO as to make a &C cd clear
impression on the paper, there was no
reason why a woman should not be
notary public. 1t was largely a Ques
ton OF strength, and most women are
strong enough to press down the SEAL

Curiosity OF japanese Women.

on their heels around the little table
which / used as chair. My feet were
stretched out before me. The hostess
with, as took it, many apologies, be-
gan to inspect my boots. AS her curl
osity was Ike n, drew them off All
the ladies' pounced upon them, and
some of them asked leave to fit them
on. Before doing this, they caused
bowls of hot water to be fetched,
washed their feet carefully and dried
EN- by tanning them, which made tie
wet evaporate quickly. As they all had
chi drcn's feet, my boots were awk-
wardly big and more ridiculous than l
can say. The ladies next handl, d my
ekirt and corsage, and, to oDlige them,
I took them off. The petticoats had
their turn, then ny stockings. which
they did not laugh at: after them my
buckled elastic carriers, and last my

Home PoIiteness.

A boy who is polite to father and
mother is likely to be polite to every
body else. A boy lacking politeness to
his parents may have the semblance of
courtesy in society, but is never truly
polite in spirit, and is in danger, as he
becomes familiar, of betraying his real
want of courtesy. We are all in dam
ger of living too much for the outside
world, for the impression which we
make in society, coveting the good
opinion of others and caring too little
for the good opinion of those who are
in sense part of ourselves, and who
will continue to sustain and be interest
ed in us, Notwithstanding these defects
of department and character. We say
to every boy and to every girl, cultivate
the habit of courtesy and propriety At
home-in the kitchen as we'll as in the
parlor-and you will be sure in other
places to deport yourself in a becoming
and attractive manner. DIP

A TERRIBLE CRIME.

MO-, Two Ex-Convicts Arrested for the
Crime and Make q Full Confession-The
Deed Committed for the Purpose of
Securing a Sum of Money Which Steidle
was Known to Possess.
WARRENsBURG, Mo-, April4.
Charles and w. H. Hamilton
brought here. yesterday, from
Sedalia, for the murder of the
man whose mangled body was found
on the railroad tracks near here on Sun.
day night, have confessed to one
of the most atrocious murders yet
recorded. The two Hamiltons are
not related in any way,
one being an American and the other
Bavarian. They first met in the Jeffer-
son City Penitentiary, two years ago.
where both were serving time Their vic
tim was Carl Steidle, machinist In the
Missouri Pacific shops in Sedalia, who
had saved up few hundred dollars and
was going to California. Chas. Hamilton
said i'm his confession that he was dis
charged from prison six or eight weeks
ago. He went to Warrensburg three
weeks ago and was employed as porter
In the Simmons House. At nine
O'Clock on Sunday night Billy Hamilton
came to him there and told him that he
had fetched man from Sedalia on the
way to California, and wanted Charles to
go with them as far as Kansas City. They
went to the depot where Steidle was
waiting and persuaded him to come out
of the depot Charles Hamilton struck
him on the head with a wrench and
choked him. Then they laid the body
across the rails and waited to see that
the train ran over it. They got about
SO apiece by the murder. w. H. Ham,
ilton also made confession substan-
TALLY corroborating the above.

Logan's BuncOmbe,

The smallest appropriation that ever
received the attention of Congress was
that of fifteen dollars for which the bill
was called up in the Senate by Senator
Logan. The object was to refund that
amount to d party who had paid it to
the Government under misapprehen-
sion in d patent case.
Upon its being intimated by some of
the Senators that the bill was too tri-
fling for the consideration of the Senate
which has preference for larger
game, something that has millions in
it, the reply OF Logan showed that al
though the appropriation he asked for
was small there was nothing small
about Logan. He sa that people who
were poor were just as much entitled to
their just dues as those who were rich.
1t is not certain that this idea is origin
al with the Illinois Senator. Something
of that kind may have been thought of
before, but it struck the Senate as q
novelty. for it has been a long time
since the ma ority of that body thought
it worth while to attend to interests
lower down in the pecuniary scale than
those of millionaires and great cor
porations. The intrusion of such doc
trine must have been q surprise to the
more than score of millionaires in the
Senate to whom the suggestion that
there was anything due to poor men
was certainly a new tangled sort of rev.
citation.
But it took the Senator from Illinois
to bring them up to a proper sense of
their duty to the poor man. Senator
Logan is not much on grammar. and
there are people who have the advant-
age of him in the correct use of the diff
ferent parts of speech. but when it
comes to devotion to the poor mans in
terests he won't allow any body to dust
him on the road. AS Pres dental
election in which he is going to be
candidate is approaching, he is particu-
lar in having it understood that ne is
the poor mans friend. Harrisburg
