Comstock's Latest Dodge.

PHILADELPHIA January PA short time
ago Anthony Comstock, as chief special
agent of the New York Society for the
Suppression Of Vice, came to this city aud
purchased from five different dealers in
works of art, a number of pictures which
were alleged to be obscene. Mr.. Constock
entered complaint against the dealers and
they were indicted by the grand Jury.
The trial OF all the cases was taken up to-
day, and after hearing considerable evi
dence on both sides, in four OF the cases
Assistant District Attorney Ker declined
to proceed further, saying he
did not believe the pictures
obscene. The jadge said it vas
not very easy to define actually what the
terms lewd and obscene meant. Nude
pictures were not necessarily lewd or indie.
cent. If that we're so, it would include
everything, and it would include pictures
of the most sacred kind. Where there
wss an intention to corrupt the public by
the sale of indecent or lewd pictures, theirs
ought TO be severe punishment, bat he did
not think this was case of that kind.
The visit of Mr.. Comstock to this city for
the purpose of prosecuting dealers in artists
supplies was criticised by his Honor.
The bills OF indictment in all the cases
were submitted to the jury, and the de-
PENDANTS acquitted.

The Cora Lee Trial.

SPRINGFIELD, Mo-, January "a The
Cora Lee trial was resumed az $3.50 this
morning. County attorneys, jury and
witnesses are all growing tired, yet the
ground now being gone over is fought inch
by inch with the same vigilance as on the
opening day of the trial. The defendant,
as from the beginning sits near Der at
torneys throughout the day, calm, self
possessed, watchful. What emotions are
awakened by the various stories coming
from the witnesses is a problem for the
key to which her countenance is studied in
vein. 1t is generally believed that she is
confident OF the proof of her Innocence, and
has an abiding faith in the final verdict OF
not guilty. The testimony to-day was all
for the defense and was regarded favorable
to the prisoner. The general impression
here to night is that the verdict will be an
acquittal or at most a disagreement The
case is not expected to go TO the Jury be-
fore next week.

What is beauty worth on the stage? The
average salary for beauty alone is about
1921 week. Beauty with talent2 That
depends on the talent. The salaries of the
ladies have named run from $50 to 5000 a
week, according to their talent and ex-
perience, not according to their beauty.
Miss Chatham probably gets the smallest,
and Miss Rehan the largest of these sums.
The stage is probably the worst market in
the universe to take beauty to il there is
no OFT er ware TO be sold with it. When
beauty goes on the stage alone she must
very soon go as beauty uuadorned," and
beauty unsdoTned on the stage cannot
drape and dress as she almost invariably
vans to in private life on SO a week: so
beauty must exc out livelihood in some
other fashion, or at. somebody else's ex-
pense. So, beauty, don't venture here
