Editor Palatka NEWS
Please grant me space in your columns
to say That Louis Falk need not eX-
pect to escape public condemnation by
stating in his card to the public t'-...
had offered to give possession for $3} tila
cost Of moving A thing very far from
the truth, sometimes from a shadow
may be told, and the sarcastic manner in
which the thing is told in connection
with my name, calls forth this stat
ment of facts. am Mr.. Shears attor-
ney, and on the 2Sth of August after the
trial and before Judge Haughton had
decided, offered to Judge WigG to adj
wise my client to give possession if Falk
would pay $25 and pay the expenses of
moving, and afterward saw Falk and
told him what | had offered Wigg, and
Falk said he did not propose to give Il
nickel, and on the night of the eviction
he asked me if ] would not take less, and
l told him not for n thousand dollars.

Chicao Mail.
However much, politically, the Mail
may differ with the members Of Prcsi-
dent Cleveland's cabinet, it does not be-
lieve that one of them would favor the
appointment of a horse thief or q con-
vict. Such appointments are mistakes
which, no doubt, can be explained. 1t
is impossible for any administration to
dispense the vast patronage of this coun-
try without occasionally appointing men
who, if they have not been in the peni-
Tertiary, ought to be. This was so I'M
der republican administration, it will be
so under this administration. and it will
be so under all administrations. 1t is
better to be fair.

goods, my wife and sick children out of
my rooms upon the street at night and

Secretary Whitney's Experience.


Pittsburg Post
Secretary of the Navy Whitney is an
old New Yorker, and so familiar with the
city's characteristics He stood in the
corridor of the Fifth Avenue hotel in
light conversation with Secretary of the
Interior Lamar, and the topic of CONVEX
sation was a confidence robbery that had
been perpetrated upon a guest Of the
house that day. Whitney maintained
that while some men were astonishingly
gullible, tho majority were unreasona-
bly, cautious.
.'To illustrate my point, he said, ''let
my young friend Joe Barnard, here,
offer to give a $10-bill for 81, and not a
man i'm this corridor will accept the Of
fer
The experiment was atonce made. Joe
was good-looking, we,l-dressed fellow,
with nothing in his aspect to suggest
roguery Whitney handed crisp. new
$40 note to him, and he set out on his
round.
81 beg your pardon, sir" he remarked
stumping around on a leg and Il crutch,
s'but will you please give me one dollar
for this tent" and he held the note So
close to Sickles' eyes that its genuineness
ought to have.heeu visible.

over the Generals face, but he deigned
no reply, and contemptuously turned
away. The proffer was soberly made to
nine men, none being a witness of the
others refusal, and every time with the
same result. Nobody would buy SIC
with 81. All decided on the spur of the
moment that they were the object of a
swindler's attention. The endangered
note came safely back to Whitney, and
the groupe laughed over its adventure
save Sickles, who was called in to he
leased for letting such good bargain
slip.
