WARNED AGAINST PERSIAN RECEPTIONS

WARNED AGAINST PERSIAN RECEPTIONS.
A Washington dispatch to the st. Louis
Globe Democrat says:
When the Secretary Bayard told him
that, above all other things, he must steer
clear of public reception BY the Persians,
Judge Hanna for the hUndredth time, look
ed puzzled, and for the thousandth time
during the week said to himself, "Well, Pm
ID" The Secretary explained:
Several years ago, when the Persian mis-
sion was created, q man named Benjamin,
of Ohio, was sent out to draw the $4,000 a
wear and and to look after the missionaries.
The Persians were delighted over the rec
ognition given them by the United States
government. To have q resident minister
was magpifed by them into high honor.
Mr.. Benjamin was met outside of Teheran
and conducted into the city with
all the pomp and ceremony OF a
great procession, in which there were
camels and elephants and triumphal cars
enough to outfit score of modern menage-
ries. Mr. Benjamin was banqueted and
feted in grand style. After time he set
tied down to the humdrum routine of hear
ing missionaries stories. One day Per-
sian diplomat walked into the legation otfi'
ces, and with Oriental politeness presented
to the astonished ministers bill for the process.
sion and the entertainment given him. The
items footed up over $4,000. Poor Mr.. Ben.
jamin received the account, and, with forced
composure, told the diplomat it should re-
Give attention. He got the legation together
and asked for advice. Nobody could re-
spond Perhaps the unfortunate minister
wept over the BILL Probably he prayed
over it. Undoubtedly he wished he had
never left Ohio. At length, in despair, he
forwarded to the State Department the ter.
rible document. There was more consulta-
ton and liberal abuse of the Persian idea of
hospitality. The upshot was an appropra-
ton from the contingent fund, taking the
greater part of it to pay for Mr.. Benjamin S
reception For the rest of that year the
department was run with due regard to the
| fact that this Persian investment necesstat-
ed reduction of incidental expenses to the
lowest possible figures.
The secretary told Judge Hanna the whole
story, and, in concluding, said he trusted
that the new minister would now appreciate
the imperative necessity of getting into
Teheran without an escort of elephants and
cames, and that he would, with Jefferson
ian simplicity, decline to be made lion by
the Persians at the expense of his own gov

EXTRAORDINARY COURT SCENE.

The most exciting scene ever known in
court in that vicinity occurred in the Wayne
Circuit Court at Lyons, n. y, Thursday af-
teruoon. Several days ago John Johnson, a
desperate criminal from New York, was in
dicted on twelve counts for burglary, rob-
berry and attempts to murder. If the full
penalty oflaw was given on each one of these
indictments he would go to prison 120 years.
In the face of his doom he became more des-
perate, and boldly announced his intention
to do anything, even suicide, to escape from
prison. Thursday he was tried upon all in.
dictment for assault with intent TO kill S. +.
Vandusen in Newark month ago.
The court loom was packed with people
and the gallery was crowded with ladies, be-
cause Of JohDSon's noted career in crime.
AT five o'clock District Attorney Hcag was
concluding his address 10 the jury, md
every one was listening inlently. Johnson
in an instant ieaped from the prisoners box
and rushed toward Mr.. Hoag, yelling out
that he would kill him. Wild excitement
arose in the court room. The Judge ran
into side room. The District Attorney cs-
capped behind the witness stand, and jury
and court officers scattered in all direc
ed excitedly, expecting to see murder com
mitted before their eyes. County Judge
Collins and several others caught hold of
the prisoner from the rear and restrained
him. Johnson is powerful fellow, and in
moment he threw them out Of his way.
At last the Sheriff and guards were on him,
and then desperate fight followed, and
excitement became more intense. Men
yelled, Kill himw "Knock his brains
out!" Let's lynch him here !" and one
woman tainted Two Of the guards were
felled to the floor by Johnson's blows. The
guards, however, beat him over the head
with handouts from the rear. Exhausted
by loss of blood and severe poundngs john
He was carried back to the prisoners box
swearing vengeance. His face was covered
with blood and his cheeks were like jelly.
He presented horrible sight.
After some time the excited audience
calmed down md the jury returned to their
box. The District Attorney sank into Il
chair and did not resume his address. The
Judge charged the jury in few words
The jury retired, but returned almost i'm
mediately, and gavo verdict of guilty.
The prisoner was brought in roncd and
bleeding profusely. He was given the full
penalty of the law, which is ten years in
Auburn Prison. The Judge then said it
would he farce TO try Johnson on another
charge, because of the intense public feeling
against the prisoner after the affair, which
was the most disgraceful he had ever wit.
