JUSTICE KELLEY,s SIDE OF IT.
The Story of the Goods Stolen from
His Office.

The Story of the Goods Stolen from
His Office.
Magistrate Kelley of the Seventh district,
who was arrested last week under the charge
larceny after trust delegated" says that
he did not resist the officer making the ar
rest. He was holding court at the time the
warrant was served on him, and as he could
not very well adjourn the case he was try
ing, he agreed to submit a bond for his APP
pearanCe at court, which he did the next
day.
The magistrates story Of the loss of the
goods which he is charged with having stolen
Is this: During May he issued a posseSsory
warrant for some household goods
The case was settled and the goods were re-
turned to the parties. After receiving the
goods they discovered that some had been
stolen and the charge was laid to the par
ties who had previous possession. A
warrant was sworn out fbut after investi-
eating the matter, the evidence was not
sufficient to hold any of the parties and they
Were discharged.
Two weeks ago, the magistrate says, his
attention was called to some goods stolen
from his office He authorized his consta-
BILE to seize the goods and return them to
his Office, and to arrest the parties The
constable brought the goods, but did not
bring the parties. His excuse was that they
would present themselves, which they did
not do. The woman who was interested in
the case Magistrate Kelley says, confessed
stealing the goods, and he asks the public
to suspend judgment in his case until the
facts are brought out in examination.

A Savannah Mans Observations IN
Southern Georgia and Florida.
Capt J. b. Withers Of w. w. Chisholm e.
Co. returned last night from a weeks trip
through Southern Georgia and Florida. He
reports the condition Of crops where he went
generally good In the uplands the outlook
has not been better in years. The yield of
all grains will be enormous, but the exces-
sive rains have done some damage TO the
lowland cotton
In some instances, Capt. Withers said, he
noticed in the low lands the cotton she'd
ding. 1t is not losing its fluitage to any
great extent, however, aud if there are no
more rains the damage done Will be Incon-
siderable. II was feared some time ago
that the wet weather would bring cater
pillars, but Capt. Withers said that no sign
of the worm is seen in the sections that he
visited. People do not fear them, he said,
as much as they do the shedding of the crop
should the rains continue. Ii had stopped
raining while he was i'll the country, but
farmers were not satisfied that the severe
weather had broken up
Capt. Withers said that not much damage
can result to the corn crop, for it is about
made. Fodder is being pulled rapidly, and
the fields will be stripped within the
coming two weeks. Cotton, he noticed, in
many places is opening nicely, but he did
not see any picking going on. Long staple
cotton, be said, III Florida Is doing re-
markably well. The season is good one
for it, and the yield will be a large one
Farmers will be picking within the next
two weeks, and the gins will be running on
full time within a month.
The prospect for turpentiue is good, he
said, if the rain stops now. Excessive wet

The Way Shoe Dealers Provide For
That Glass.
In the hustle and turmoil Of life of bus
mess or professional activity one stumbles
upon much that is out of the common and
finds here and there character not put
down in the books. The makeup of some
people bears to the human character the re-
lation tlat a dish of hash does to the menu
of tirst-class hotel, while another repre-
sents single dish in the abstract-the one
is versatile in talent and thought, while the
other plays his every air on a particular
string of his harp. No one sees more of and
understands this fact better than the man
who writes for the newspapers, and no one
has opportunities to observe, quite equal to
his.
A case came under observation the other
day IN BrOughton street shoe store 1t
was that ola genteel looking customer, who
was about TO try on pair of shoes. He
found, much to his apparent astonishment
that i'll making his toilet he had failed to
put on thas article of great comfort and of
necessity to well regulated dress, 81 pair of
socks. or course, the customer must
needs appear greatly mortified,
ard his acting was so over
| done that the salesman could not refrain
from wink. The emergency was promptly
met. The salesman assured his customer
that the sock was about TO 90 the way of
the bustle-to that extent that 1t is being
RELOCATED to the things that were and re-
| tired to back seat-but produced in the
meanwhile from drawer a sock 1t was
| straight as a single, shapeless and heelless
as Darwin's missing link and as elastic as
the promise of the ward politician at cleo
ton time, but guaranteed to fit any foot
that ever pressed shOe-leather.
When the customer had gone the sales
man explained THE sock, ;" he said 'tcosts
| but cents, cents for the pair, and it sells
a score OF shoes week by week. No, all
men do not wear socks, except when they
happen to get them as cheap as the custom
or just got that pair, strange as it may
seem. And some Of these eccentricS-cranks
/ believe you call em would
wear nothing but the best hat
or latest make of clothes of
outward appearance. Its astonishing
though, perhap slfather Adam,was notpartic-
uar about the kind of sock he wore, and
may be some Of us are entirely too exacting,
What matters it! We are all cranks on
this line or that-your necktie matches
your coat about as perfectly as a violet
does hot day in August"
| There may be tricks in all trades. but very
few would have dreamed that any man
would think himself dressed without sock
upon his foot.

A CANINE BIRTHDAY PARTY.
Well-Bred Dogs Who Enjoyed a Spe

From Tie Nel0 York World.

canine party doesn't begin to cost as
much as lady's afternoon reception, and it
is ever so much jollier. When the petted
terrier has birthday, cards are sent out to
every lady on his mistress's visiting list who
keeps chamber in her heart for favorite
pug or skye, and the replies are written in
the dogs name. Gifts are imperative
whether the invitation is accepted or re-
GREETED. II doggie hasn't any maid, or if
he is too precious to be trusted TO strange
hands, "mamman accompanies him to the
birthday in person.
Not long ago Mrs. Eugene Clark of West
Twenty-elghth street whose dogs have never
entered a kennel club exhibition without
capturing deirabte prize, gave a canine
party That will serve as model for some
months to come. The host, most sagaciOus
little animal, born in the far away JAPANESE
empire, was assisted in receiving his canine
friends by an elder cousin, also from tho
Orient. One lay in a black walnut bed
stead, dressed in a white lace counterpaue
spread over rose-colored satin, and the
honored dog stood at the entrance of a real
glass house, lined with blue silk cushions.
Each guest on arriving entered the draw
room carrying his birthday present, which
he laid before the delighted host. who
In turn made himself agreeable by salut-
ing the donor and removing the
gift to corner reserved for that purpose.
What were the tributes? Everything that
the heart of well-bred dog could desire
but juicy bones. There were collars in
leather, silver and worsted work hung with
little silver bells and bright ribbons: brides
OF steel, bronze and sterling silver; blankets
embroidered in Kensington patterns: shell
combs aud ivory brushes; imported SOAPS:
porcelain bath tubs; balls bv the dozen
drinking bowls OF decorated china: feeding
pans OF German plate; games, with rats at
tached; fancy pillows sleeping and travel
ing baskets, lined with quilted silk; and last
of all, bouquets Of tea-rOses, which the hon
ored kloto devoured on the spot. After .the
reception the dogs were taken to the dining
room, seated about the table on stools and
RECALLED on bread and milk. For dessert
there were soft cream candies, ice cream
and cake. The favors were taken from a
game, and consisted of Japanese balls
wrapped in paper napkins.
Ootah, the custard and white beauty. in
whose honor the party was given, came
from the private kennels OF the Mikad0
and Kloto, his foster brother, has a pedi
gree That ranks him in the first row of
aristocratic dogdom. Mrs Clark is proud
of her pets and keeps them in fresh ribbons
and musical bells, and sends them out for
their constitutionals with bride rein made
of linked silver.
