house keeper, testified that i~nconsequence
Of hearing the talk about the pictures
and the verses she had refused to allow
Miss Horner TO board with her, as she
thought something must be wrong about
her. However, on inquiry, she consent
ed to take Miss Horner. Some lime after
ward, after the action was commenced,
the defendant wrote a letter to the plain
tiff trying TO effect a settlement. 1t is
certainly a remarkable document. He
tells her that il she had acted the part of
a lady in paying for her pictures the
affair would not have happened. He
adds: 1.-THE pictures 1 made you
were good, and If you expect me
TO make a wax doll of your face
it is more than L am able to do. Now,
for the sake Of peace | will see that there
is no more of your amiable features made,
and will call in all that was out. If you
put me to any more trouble about this
subject, l will fight it out to the extreme
point of the law. Then everybody will
know all you can scrspe up against my
character, and all ! can against yours. "
Subsequently Bradley paid $50 into
court. The only question really at issue
was one of damages. The jury found a
verdict of 5000 and costs in favor of the
plaintiff, including the $50.

LIBELS IN PHOTOGRAPHS.
A Young Canadian Woman Receives
Damages from n photographer.

From the Toronto Globe.
BRocKvILLE, Ontario, March s8.-A
remarkable case was tried on Tuesday at
the Perth a~ssizes, before MIR. Justice
Rose. 1t was an action for libel brought
by Miss Susan Horner against Mr.. John
F. Bradley. The plaintiff is a tall young
woman of good appearance, employed
in the tailoring establishment of
Mr.. Walker, in Perth. Her father
is dead. She is a respectable and
well-conducted girl. The defendant is a
photographer, having an establishment
on the main street of Perth. On May
"a last Miss Horner had her likeness
taken at the defendants photograph gal
lery, but when the pictures came to be
printed she did not like them, refused to
take them, and would not pay for them
The defendant got angry and determined
to punish Miss Horner. He adorned one
of her pictures with a mustache and put
a cigar in its mouth; a second he deco
rated with a large red pair of spectacles;
and In a third he caused a blotched
appearance of the face. He pro-
cured Or wrote some doggerel
verses, and put the photographs
and the rhymes in a frame, and hung
them outside the door of his studio.
People, of course, stopped to look, and
a small crowd gathered, one of whom
suggested that he was doing wrong, and
that he was open to an action for libel.
Bradley consequently took the offensive
matter in after it had hung there some,
thing less than an hour. Bradley also
printed some cards containing two of
Miss Horner's photographs. To one OF
these he added a cigar, a mustache and a
flushed face. The other he left plain, in
order TO make sure of the likeness being
recognized as it was suggested. He gave
the card to a young man, telling him he
might show it to q few, but was
not to let it go out of his possession.
This was produced in court. Shortly
after all this the plaintiff paid Bradley
bill, not being aware of what he had
been doing. The affair caused a great
deal of talk in Perth. The court room
was crowded, and N or two sensational
incidents happened. Bradley had been
subpoenaed to produce the three photo
graphs and the verses, but refused to do
80. He was sworn on his subpoena, and
persisted in his refusal, claiming priv
lege on the ground that their pro
duction would render him liable to
a criminal action. A young man
named James Thompson was also called
amid q buzz of interest, as he was sus
pected of beng the c~oncocter OF the
verses. He declined to answer several Of
the questions which were put to him, TAX,
ing the ground that he was not bound tc
incriminate himself. He answered free
ly enough that he did not know wht
composed the verses, that he had not 4
copy of them, and so, but when asked
about the actual writing of them out on
he paper, he refused to answer anything
about that, causing suppressed laughter
in court. Mrs. Clement, q boarding

AT Toledo a sharp-looking young man
boarded the Detroit bound train, ano
after looking over the passengers in one
of the coaches he took a seat beside a
traveller with a face as honest as a four

The watch was a galvanized affair,
worth about fifty cents per pound. The
man with the f~our-dollar face examined
it, shook it, and put it in his pocket.
then he slowly drew q $50 bill
from his vest pocket and handed it ovel
to the young man. The latter simply
glanced at it, and then the two smiled.
Then they shook hands. Then the watch
and the bill changed back.
The watch was a dead swindle and the
bill a counterfeit, and both belonged to

A VERMONT INTERVIEW.

I metz Judge Luke Poland wearing his
swallow-tailed navy. blue coat with brass
buttons in the Ebbitt house lobby. He
said: "Vermont is for Edmunds as a

not positively prohibit it. If he does, it
is hard to say who will be III second

ADJUSTMENTS.
BARLEY CamDbelPs Play, the white
Slave" a Grand Success
Mappie Mitchell.

The fascination appertaining TO the ante-belum
days OF the south has proven prolific field for
the pen Of both the author and playwright, and in
this connection phase of existence has been
endued with greater human interest than those
bearing on the cruel indignties practiced under
the slave despotism. BARLEY Camp
bell has written score of plays
several of which have become
famous, and when 1t was announced that his
successful play, the "White Saye,' was TO be
produced in st. Paul, considerable degree OF
interest and curiosity was expected. In the pop
uar sense the play was indeed successful, as
was amply demonstrated by the large audience
that witnessed the presentation at the Grand last
night. The plot is captivating, inasmuch
as it involves the birthright and
liberty of handsome girl, and
the scenery and mechanical effects are elaborate
and beautiful The scenery in the main is highly
suggestive of plantation life in the south, the
settings being faithful and realistic. The pic
ture is further enhanced by the introduction Of
real darkies in plantation melodies. the singing
being natural and enjoyable. The scene on
the steamboat, ''Belle Creole the explosion,
the floating wreck, and more especially the
shower of real water, were graphic reminders Of
the real in life and nature, and they called forth
the warmest manifestations Of delight on the
part OF the audience.
The plot OF the play was given in last Sunday s
issue of the GLOBE In some respects it
is crude and homogeneous, not bearing
the evidence of the careful thought and treat
meut customary with this author. But consid-
cradle by way of probability has been sacrificed
for realistic effect and the charm produced may
be considered compensatory. The cast is
lengthy, embracing about twenty actors, and in
the main the characters are well taken. The
honors, so far as artistic acting is concerned,
are pretty evenly shared by Miss
Newman. as Lisa the White Slave Miss
Emily Baker. who has a capital part as Nance,
the quaaroon and housekeeper; Miss Loane, as
Daphne, the octoroon, also well taken; Mr..
Herman, as Clay Britton, from the blue grass
region, the hero OF the piece; MIR. Foster, as
Lacy, the slave dealer and cruel master; Mr..
Weldon, as the judge, the father Of Lisa, who
dies without making known the identity of
his child; Mr.. White, the negro
preacher a fine character part, Mr..
OByrne, the dead beat, and others
The company bring with them their own
scenery which is graphic and complete. The
play win be given again tonight and special
matinee is announced for tomorrow afternoon.
The sale of seats for the engagement of the
popular and captivating actress, Maggie Mitchell,
which commences next Monday, opens at the
