He pointed out the law in the case and in the
course of his charge said that ''if the jury
believe from the evidence beyond reason
able doubt, that the defendants, or some Of
them, conspired together aad with others,
who were to the grand jurors unknown, to
kill and murder T. II. Cronin; and that one
or more of the conspirators in pursuance
and furtherance of the conspiracy did kill
and murder said Cronin in the manner
charged in the indictment, then any or all
the defendants who so consplred, are, in the
law, guilty of such murder, although they
may not have actually killed the said CPonin
or been present at the killing" The jury
then retired.

This gentleman is pastor of St. Paul's
chapel He said: 81 am a comparative
stranger here, having been in the city but
a few weeks, during which time l have
been too busy to investigate the local prob
lens, but you can quote me on the side of
right, and from what know of other juno
ton cities 1 have no doubt Ogden is
wicked city and the existing evils there
should be downed, but as to the means to
be used am not prepared to say. This is
a difficult problem and one which has not
yet been settled by the most learned who
have been devoting their energies to the
question. The means which will accom-
plish the desired result in one case win be
an entire failure in another. 1t is the duty
of the city to protect the people, and as
they failed, l think according to strict
ethical rules the marshal was right, al
though do not know how far his legal
right may extend"

making saddle back several hundred feet
long and six inches high in the bed rock

He Stubs His Toe and His Pun Is Spoiled
by His Girls Superstition.
A young Brooklyn man, who had got
very pretty girl to consent to make one
of theatre party, started up Broadway
one night last week with pride plainly
stamped on his face. He was proud of
the attention that his companions hand
some face attracted on the promenade.
He had agreed to meet some New York
ers at the Broadway theatre to enjoy
1.-The Oolah." The New Workers had
got the tickets, and had agreed to wait
the BrookIynites' coming in the theatre
lobby.
The Brooklyn man had got to Thirty
eighth street, and was hurrying forward
when he stubbed his toe against the
raised edge of an uneven fagstone and
stumbled. His shoes were patent feathers
and very tight.
"Ouch, that hurt!" he cried, stopping
abruptly and trying to conceal his agony.
The girls pretty face blanched.

voice

sit don't make any difference. Iknow
we're not wanted. When anybody stubs
their left foot it's always a sure sign that
their company isn't wanted. Oh, dear,
why didn't you hit your right toe, if you
must stumble?"
"Why, you're going crazy"
mo, it's a sure sign. If you don't
come back I'll go back alone"
The Brooklyn man tore his hair and
protested against such hoodoo business,
but it was no use. The pretty girl was
unalterable in her conviction about the
sure sign, and back he went to Brooklyn
saying wicked things to himself about
the pavements of Gotham.
He was counting that same pretty girl,
and was helpless. He ground his teeth
as he stood outside in the moonlight after
the door closed between him and his best
girl

The bishop had been out of the city for
some time past, and had not given the
question much attention. He said, how
ever that he was always in favor of using
legitimate means for the suppression of
vice, and if what he had heard concerning
Ogden and its present rule was true, there
was do question as to the necessity for
vigorous steps being taken. There were no
doubts in his mind concerning the evils ex-
isting, and if the law was as he understood
it, the marshal did right in taking the
steps for which he is being censured

Rev. C. Il. Libbey.

He was decidedly in favor of suppress
ing the evils existing in Ogden, and if there
was a lack in the city council to act in the
matter, the United States marshal should
do all in his power to purify the city as far
as his legal rights permit him to act. 1.-THE
question that puzzles me- he said, sis, that
if the municipal authorities had the inclina-
ton, why they could not have acted in the
matter just as well as the marshal. l have
not studied the question very carefully, but
l am always on the side of right, and using
all legitimate means to suppress eYil.''
