Why the Poor Fellow Went.

the attorney for the prisoner, in his
address to the Jury said:
Gentlemen, my client is a poor
man. He was driven by hunger and
want to take the small sum OF money.
All that he wanted was sufficient
money to buy bread, for it is an evi-
dence that he did not take thepocket-
book containing $500 that was in the
same bureau drawer. Ifhewas a pro-
fessional thief he would have certainly
taken the pocketboOk.
The eloquent attorney for the ac-
cused was interrupted by the convul-

reply.

Gold Ware,

FROM the London Telegraph
The city OF Exeter had a prestige
which 1t is likely to lose. In these
days 1t does not certainly count for
much, being chiefly of an antiquarian
character; but at one time it cOnsti-
tuted the pride OF the great capital OF
| the West. In the fourteenth century
the work of a goldsmith had a kind OF
national Importance. All sorts of
statutes limited their labor and kept
the standard of the metal up to a
fixed quality. 1t was in 1879 that
parliament, recognizing and, indeed,
reciting that English gOldsmiths, be
ing Their own assayers, produced gold
and silver works of metal less fine
than 1T ought to be, proceeded to en-
act that every goldsmith should
have his own proper mark upon his
| work, and that the assay of touch
should belong to the mayors of cities,
and that the work should bear the
marks OF the city where it was assayed.
In those days French coins We're of
| fine gold, and ''the touch OF Paris"
was arecognized standard ofpurity fire.
| quently alluded to in the English stat
| utes. Louis XI. indeed granted to the
SOiNAoilAibllS vi IobiH ft IlSDJ 10 Iildkt
reliquaries OF gold and silver of base
| alloy, but they were to be inscribed
Non venundetur, to certify that
| they were not destined for commerce,
but only for ecclesiastical purposes.
Various statutes of Henry V, Henry
| VIII, and Elizabeth were passed to
| insure the purity OF gold ware till in
! comparatively recent times-in fact
| the first year o. the last century-cer-
/ tain cities were appointed for the as
( saying and the making of wrought
/ plate. These were York, Exeter, Bris-
/ tOl, Chester, and Norwich. An old act
of 1924 had conferred the same privi-
/ lege on these cities in Henry VI. s time,
/ but it had been discontinued and for
gotten. From 17O1 Exeter had its
I city hall mark OF letter X crowned,
which was subsequently altered to a
/ castle OF three towers, but earlier
/ pieces of Exeter ware display the
/ words Easton, Exon, or Eston. At
/ present this activity ofthe goldsmith's
/ trade in the West has subsidized. De
/ preston tells heavily on articles OF
/ luxury. The Exeter assay Office has
/ been closed, and goods manufactured
/ there have to be sent to London or
/ Birmingham to receive the marks
( which the old statute still makes com
/ pulsory IN the case OF silver plate.

The Barts of Nevada.

from Jne Sdn FRANCISCO fOsL.
A quarter OF a century ago it was
the fashion to poke fun at the Ameri-
can ''on his travels" Now the chill
dren of Uncle Sam havemade so many
trips across the big pond that they
have becOmequitea as fly as the English
brother; nay, more so, for the Yankee
has always his natural cuteness to
fall back upon. But now and then
they will put their foot in it. For ex-
ample, a worthy citizen of the state Of
Nevada-a man whose millions are
periodically mentioned in the newspa-
pers with due respect-found himself
not more than n year ago in an En-
glish cburchyard With him was his
faithful Dick-for this was before the
tender bond that held the trustwor-
thy Richard to the millionaire was
broken, the golden cup of their friend
ship ruthlessly shattered. They were
the guests of an English country gen
tleman, and he was showing them the
sights Of the neighborhood Among
the tablets We're quite number bear
ing the names OF the deceased baro-
nets of the country. There was Sir
John Sims Bart, and Sir Tom Sims
DdI l, anu OIL INltlidtl NrEllllS DaTI,
and so on. Then up and spoke the
traveller TO his host:
"GOu have a number of the Bart
family buried here, / see?"
Richard grins and treads on his pa
irons toe, but the devoted states
man rushes on to his fate
"Well, they were a nice people, those
Barts. We had some Of 'em working
for us in Nevada There was jim
Bart, well remember, and better
miner never stepped into cage"
The politeness OF the Britisher re-
strains him from laughing, as well as
making an explanation, and before
Dick can enlighten his patron as to
the true meaning of the abbreviation,
they are seated at the dinner table.
And would you believe it." con
cludes Dick, "all through dinner the
Nevadan kept harping on the Barts
and what a nice, respectable family OF
them had settled in the state of Ne
vada.

says that on the receipt ofconfirmation
OF the defeat of the Russian troops by

and Nearly Kills Two Men.
On the night OF the Goth, while the
New Albany & Chicago train was
stopped for water at Harrodsburg
Monroe County, Ind, a passenger in the
sleeping-car, j. ). Hamilton, of Green
castle, happened to be looking out of
the window, and by the reflected light
of the engine saw man emerge appar-
emily from under the trucks, and dis
appear in the direction of the engine
He carried a club or a stick. When
Smithville Hill, about two miles north
OF Harrodsburg, was reached, a sharp
ring of the bell in the engine stopped
the train, and the ebaggage-master flung
open the door of the smoking-car and
| reeled III covered with blood. Hesank
| on his knees and gasped out to the
Mortified passengers that a robber
had entered the baggage-car and
shot HIM and the express messen-
ger. He then fell forward uncon-
scious upon his face. Conductor
Chamberlain made his way into the
baggage-car. Davis, the express mes
senger, WAS stretched in pool of blood
by the side of his safe, which was
broken open and plundered. Every
where was the evidence of a terrific
struggle. Davis was carried into the
smoker. Webber, the baggage-master
on becoming conscious, said he and
Davis were asleep when the robber en-
tered. Webber was awakened by a
violent blow on the head. Therobber
evidently struck Davis also while he
was asleep and a struggle ensued.
Davis, managing to loosen his right
| hand, drew his revolver. Before he
could fire the man wrenched the
weapon from his grasp and leveling it
pulled the trigger. The ball struck the
messenger in the head, when he fell dy-
| ing to the floor. When the safe had
been rified the robber left the train as
| it slowed up IN answer to the bell.

What Justice German Used To Do

From The New ORR Tlmes.

George McNab, John Rice. and John
Donegan before Justice German yes
terday The boys amused themselves
in Fortieth Street on Friday night by
stretching a cord from a lamp post to
the side OF house, just high enough to
knock off the hats OF pedestrians. The
first victim was the patrolman, and
when the boys laughed at him he ar
rested them. Justice German gazed
mournfully at the culprits, who were
all blubbering. "Ah" he said, Il used
to do that myself in my youth, but it
is very wicked and III have to fine you
SO each"
