THAT PETITION.

There Was al unusual connection il
certain quarters yesterday when it wal
known that q petition, signed BY ter
citizens, good and true, had been pre-
scented to Judge JACoB, praying that h
snnul ali, or q part, Of the Police
and. Fire Board ordinance on the ground
that Council had exceeded its power IN
der the city's charter. The preparation o.
the papers seems to have been done
in a quiet, unassuming way, but
with esrnestness and energy nevertheless
The pooh-poohing of our esteemed neigh.
Dor, when exception was originally taken
to the ordinance, that there was nothing
in the exception, and that no attempt
would be made to question the document,
was premature. Which By the way, is q cit
usiion thatis,nota at all uncommon with our
neighbor. There al be no question but
there is deepseated and earnest objection
10 certain clauses Of the ordinance by
many good citizens. There is also
another large class Of citizens who,
while not having any especial objection to
the board" feature Of the ordinance,
doubt If the Council has under Its charter
the power to pass such an ordinance.
For this latter reason, if fer no other, it 10

Probably NO American woman ever en-
gagged publicly in a more degrading occu'
patton than that Of lobbying in Congress
for the defeat Of measures calculated to
break up ~polygamy in Utah. Two or three
Mormon women are now in Washington
on this errsud. Their mission and the
zeal with which they present their case
prove that any law which overlooks the
women OF that territory must necessarily
tall short. They are IS bad as the men
They are not the fearful sufferers and help

would have us believe. They are fanatics
supporters Of the odious system Of plura
marriage, and they rejoice in their Owl
degradation. $780,.
The presence of these shameless lobbyist
at the capital should have the effect Q

fact. When It shall be possible 10 put

DIR. NAGLs, OF the New York
Board of Health, says concerning the
dread disease pneumonia: Zone greaI
cause OF the fearful death rate among
children from this disease is undoubtedly
the criminally foolish way in which they
are dressed. Many mothers seem more
anxious TO make their children look pretty
than to dress them comfortably. On q
par with this is the folly of loW-necked
dresses among women SIS viewed from q
health standpoint. Ladies so dressed will
rush from q heated ballroom or theatre
into the open sir, and then wonder that
they have colds CT pneumonia. Wear
-seAsonable underclothing, and don't re-
move your heavy GAlntls TOO early in the
spring or defer putting them on until
too late in the fsll. / should not advise
people 20 eoddls themselves, but one
should dress according to the season, and
should cover the boiy evenly. Add to
this a proper regard for the general health
aud an avoidance Of drsughts, and one
need not worry about pneumonia"

Commissioner Sparks on Judge
Blalr's Alleged Decision. -

WASHINGTON, Dee. 20. -Commissioner
Sparks, Of the general land office. has re-
ceived a letter from a law firm at West
Plains, Mo-, inclosing a newspaper para
graph stating that Judge Blair, OF Wyo-
ming, instructed the Jury in Il recent case
that a person who has made Il homestead
entry and commuted it to cash and after
wards made another entry, is not guilty of
perjury in swearing in the second case
that he had not previously had the benefit
of the homestead laws, and that, in giving
this instruction, Judge Blair decided that
a person who makes and commutes a
homestead entry docs not thereby exhaust
his rights under the homestead law.
In response to this letter Commissioner
Sparks says. that if such decision has
been made, it will have no effect whatever,
unless it may be to induce ignorant per-
sons to make fraudulent entries. by
section 2,2s9 of the revised statutes"
says the commissioner, zone homestead
entry only can be he made by one person;
and by section 2,29S, a communication of
that entry to cash does not enable him to
make another homestead entry, and any
decision to the contrary would b. in direct
violation and contempt of the statute;
and If Judge Blair has made the decision
attributed to him, it will not hc recognized
respected by this Office.

End of the Campbell Case.

LONDON, Dec. 2O.-Sir Charles Rms.
sell concluded his argument for Lady
Colin Campbell in her divorce suit against
her husband to-day. The Judge pro-
ceeded at once to submit the case for the
jury. He said Lord Colin Campbell de-.
MED his wife charge of intidelity. which
depended chiefly on the testimony of Lady
Miles. Whatever might be said of Lady
Miles by the defense, it must be admit
ted she was, until lately, Lord Collins
friend that she had done all in her power
to discourage the bringing of the action
against him. and that she only took Lady
Colin $ part when she became convinced
that unjust charges were to be brought
against that lady. The testimony given
by doctors that Mary Watson was rirgo
mtdct. did not negative the testimony
given by Lady Miles that she saw Lord
Colin and the girl in such a position as to
warrant the belief that the pair were
guilty. Suspicion. however, the Judge
said. was insufficient: if adultery was not
proved as a fact, the Jury were bound to
find that Lord Colin was innocent. At
the last tfial, in which Lady Colin secured
a decree of separation, it Mas shown that
Lord Colin had given plaintiff a disease in
such 4 manner as to amount to cruelty.
which she alleges us the basis of her peti-
ton Tor separation in the present case.
The evidence against Lady Colin depen-
ded on what family servants said. This
should be viewed with suspicion. In re-
gard to the Purtleet incident, the Judge
said, there were SO many important cases
of mistaken identity that the Jury would
be compelled to carefully consider whether
sufficient evidence had been adduced to
establish the statement that the lady who
was there with the duke of Marlborough
Lady Colin. If Neptune Blood's
testimony was true that he saw Lady
Colin at home on that day, that Purfeet
story was demolished.
The case was her given to the Jury
and they retired. AT 10 o'clock they re-
with a verdict. They found that
Lord Colin Campbell had not committed
and that Lady Colin had not
committed adultery with any Of the CO.
'espondents. The Jury added u rider
hat the conduct of Gen. Butler was un-
of a gentleman and an officer and
lad caused the only difficulty which the
ury experienced in reaching a decision.
The announcement Of the verdict was re-
with applause.

A Long Feud Ended.

Fort SMITH, Dec. 2O.-Another bloody
Indian Territory murder has Just come to
light and two more Indian desperadoes
have been sent 10 the happy hunting
grounds For many years there has ex-
listed . deadly ieud between the forman :
and Starr ofthe Cherokee Nation. About
six months ago Sam Starr had his horse
shot from under him while riding along
through the lonely woods in the nation.
Suspecting Ben Forman Of the deed, he
determined to avcnee it, but was waylaid
and shot by some of his enemies near
N%ounger's bend. His wounds being con-
sidered fatal, he was taken to Il house
and while all the guards were at dinner,
Sam Starr. wounded us he was, seized Il
Winchester rifle, disarmed his guard and
escaped to Younger bend, where he
lay concealed until his wife, the notorious
Belle Starr, assisted him to escape
by swimming the Arkansas river and
travelling by night to Fort Smith.
Sam Starr was charged with robbing the
lnited States mail, and while here he
surrendered himself to the authorities,
but as soun as he was able to travel Starr
returned to the nation Saturday he
started for Fort Smith, but stopped at a
dance neal Forman' ranch. Ben Forman
was there and Starr demanded pay for
the horse he had killed, when Forman
drew his pistol and fired. shooting Starr
through the heart. Starr had his pistol
out and fired as he fell. The bullet broke
Forman's neck and both men died almost
instantly.
This ends one Of the Oldest and blood
lest feuds of many hat have existed in
the Cherokee NatioI, a feud that has
lasted fifty years and resulted in the death
of many men on both sides.

Honors to a Good Priest.

Dublin, Dee. % -Father Fahy, the
priest who early in September was SEN
fenced to six months Imprisonment for
refusing to give bail for good behavior,
was to-day released Internationally from
Galway jail, in which he had since been
confined. 1t will be remembered that
Father Fahy interceded with Agent
Lewis, of the Clanricarde estates, in be-
half of a number of tenants belonging to
the priests parish in Woodford, and who
were unable to pay their rents. Eviction
was threatened and Father Fahy went to
save them from being put into the road
way. Mr.. Lewis treated the priest harsh
ly, and as the latter left he said to Mr..
Lewis: You are hard hearted toward
Gods poor. May you repent of it.
Lewis at once had the priest arrested.
charged him with threatening his life,
even going so far as to declare that
Father Fahy said he would have him
murdered. The magistrate ordered
Father Fahy to give bail for good be-
havior or 20 to Jail. lie refused to fur
nish bail for the reason that it would be re-
qarded as an admission that the charge
against him was true. He was accord
ingly imprisoned. The priest met with
an ovation on his release. The city OF
Galway will be Illuminated to night in his
honor.
