She Was a Judge of Silk.

A Witticism based on truth-and
truth when witty, is the wittiest of
all things"-confounds an argument
or breaks the force of cross-examin-
alton.
Robert Morris, the colored LAWYER
Of the Boston bar, writes q cores
pondent, while defending a colored
dressmaker, charged with stealing
silk from her customers, and substi-
tuting it for poorer material, cross
examined the principal witness, a
lady who declared emphatically that
she could tell the value of silk with
in IS cents yard.
Knowing that it is difficult for
white people to distinguish one col
ored person from another, Mr.. Nor
ris asked the lady if she could rec
ognize the colored man who had
brought bundle to her.
NO." she answered. 81 think that
all colored persons look alike to me-"
"Oh, they do, do they ?" reioined
Morris. "We'll see," and he asked
several colored men to rise. "Now,
madam" he continued, look at me
and then at these gentlemen, and tell
the court whether you can tell us
apart"
II don't see much difference re-
piled the lady. perhaps by study
ing you all l might; but your heads
are all shaped alike, and, except that
some are darker than others, | find
it hard to distinguish one from an
other.'
Now, madam" said Morris, with
a triumphant air, "do you mean to
swear, after telling the jury that you
can judge of the value of silk within
Is cents yard, that you can't tell
the difference between Mr.. johnson
here and me z"
"She regards herself as Judge of
silk, not a judge of wool, interrupted
the prosecuting attorney.
The court laughed, so did the
spectators. Morris smiled, for he
saw that the witicism had broken off
the point of his question.

The young man looked at her in an
erudite theosophic way and smiled a
pensive, thoughtful, Back-Bay smile.

the fair young girl, warmly, as she
leaned tenderly upon him and wiped
her spectacles with q soft, caressing

scores Triumph.

The Seattle Hook and Ladder Company
scores Triumph.
Yesterday noon the hearts OF the
Seattle tremen were made light by
the news that the Hook and
Ladder Company had not only beaten
in the race held in the forenoon in Tacoma
and won the $500 prize. but had also beaten
the worlds record of 30i. seconds, having
made the run in the phenomenal time of
29is seconds. Immediately the broom was
nailed to the peak of the firemen's head
quarters As n mark of victory, and shortly
after the boys got the pet bear to step up
and place himself on the topmost rung OF
ladder brought from across the street
That makes 81 600 that Seattle won, -
said Chief Mcdonald. We fairly won the
81 go prize in the wet race: We won 500
as third prize in the championship race OF
THURSDAY, ana now the boys have got in
on the hook and ladder race Handsomely,
with $500 and the best record ever made.
The boys say they will probably come home
on the steamer Merwin. leaving Tacoma at
y. 10. and il were sure what time they
would get here | would meet them with a
hand and the team OF greys and drive
them through the town. Our firemen have
no reason 20 fear any other team, as they
had no fair show TO train down fine for this
tournament, but they got there Just the
same, and didn't have to hire professional
runners or outsiders to get ahead"
The tirefnen arrived last evening in high
spirits. and displaying various colorei
badges on their coat iapels. They tai ked
about having drive round town today in
honor OF their victory. but finally gave up
the idea because thu visiting teams from
New Westminster. Victoria and Vancouver
would return home by the steamer Premier,
which left here 1t midnight.
