Dusenberry's disappointment.

DICK DuSenberry, VINO Is con-
fined in Jail here, was very much
disappointed yesterday when he
learned that the Supreme Court
had denied his application for
bail. He said he had not felt sure
of his release, but he was at least
confident. When he made ap-
piication to Judge Hughes, he felt
certain that he would not be de-
MED bail and even went so far as
to pack his valise ready 10 depart.
He was visibiy afiected-though
he is of a phlegmatic, stolid nature
and said he was very much sur
prised at the decision. Dusenberry
steadily refuses to say q word con-
corning his guilt and will not talk
about his case to any extent.

L Wy o'SSNS IAN "S WI
not very familiar with the practice
before the appellate courts, | would
rather get my experience where |
am known and acquainted. Our
county instructed for two of The
present Judges Of the Kansas City
District and we voted for them"
Fenley Bryan: "My best rea-
son that this county should remain
in the Western District is that in
the Eastern District St. Louis
holds the balance of power and
well-nigh controls the conventions.
We are acquainted in Kansas City
and if we are changed to St. Louis
We will go there as strangers. New
acquaintances will have to be made
and we will thus be inconvenienced
very much to accomplish some
thing that is neither wanted nor
needed"
Judge Macfarlane said: Il pre-
fer remaining in the Kansas City
District, for several reasons. The
lawyers. and people of this county
by primary election selected two of
the judges of that court, and the
third received a large vote. The
judges OF that court are taken from
the agricultural districts of the
State, and better understand the
questions that go before them from
this and adjoining counties in
which [ practice. In the election
of judges hereafter we will not be
embarrassed and controlled by the
uncertain action and vote of the
city of St. Louis. | and most of
the lawyers in this county have
more practice in the counties which
will remain in the Kansas City
District than in those in the St.
Louis district. Until the present
term | never had but one case IN
the St. Louis Court of Appeals.
The cases | now have there were
taken from this county by change
OF venue to Pike, because one OF
the parties in each case claimed he
could not get justice from the peo-
pie of this county. Before these
cases | never in my practice took
but one appeal from either Pike or
Montgomery county, and [ think
no other lawyer in this county ever
took more except probably Judge
Forrist. The lines of judicial dis
tricts do not affect a lawyers prac-
tice. The only advantage in being
in the st. Louis District is that it is
more convenient, that is, it is a less
distance to the place where court is
held. This would probably be offset
by a greater probability of getting
more promptness, accommodations
and country treatment at Kansas
City. It is not necessary to be
present when a case is called in an
appellate court, as printed briefs
and arguments can be filed. Not
one case from the county in ten is
argaed orally, and there is no need
in a lawyer being present unless an
oral argument is to be made.

Tho Cats Quiet Nerves.

Life has always something in reserve
for the cat. She is q mine Of resources,
and in consequence she is ever serene
and hopeful. She can endure all night
exposures, the fatigue of the hunt, the
unevenness of her diet. Eight extra
lives, each one compounded Of similar
exposures and fatigues and irregulari-
ties, are hers. How do explain this?
It is all due to her attitude toward the
world, to the composed state of her
nerves, and this to her peculiarly
blissful accomplishment, her purr.
Herein Is sha strong against tho on
slaughts Of time and the ingenuity Of
The small boy. She drinks, camel ike,

quiet thrust of her claw through grasp
ing fingers, nerved alike for depriva-
ton and sudden attack BY the quiet
hour purrcd away BY the kitchen fire.

The Young Emperor of Germany.

The emperor, during these ma
neuvers, has handled his troops with
out the slightest extraneous assistance
that | could see, giving his orders
quickly and sharply, and, as the events
proved, with no reason to recall his
words. speak only OF what appears
on the outside, and cannot say that he
does not most anxiously consult every
source OF strategic knowledge on the
eve OF his sham battles. Of course he
knows the immense importance Of i'm
pressing an army with the fact that
its chief is clear thinker reaching
his conclusions rapidly and applying
them with immediate effect; and while
all the world is recording his every
motion in o spirit of not altogether
friendly criticism, is it likely that he is
going to furnish them the picture of a
nominal military chief whose steps are
only taken while leaning on the arm
of an older servantl-Poultney Bige-

The French artillery and mitrails
louses responded vigorously to the
Krupps, and with deadly effect, but a5
far as we could see the German left
continued its advance and staff officers
came up frequently to report that all
was going on well at points hidden
from our view. These reports were
always made to the king first, and
whenever anybody arrived with
tidings of the fight we clustered
around to hear the news, Gen. Won
MOltko unfolding map meanwhile
and explaining the situation.
This done, the chief of the staff,
while awaiting the next report, would
either return TO seat that had been
made for him with somo llnapsacls.

20 years old, but because Of his ema-

we'll known ardent devotion TO the
military profession. Gen. Sheridan

A Dinner at Teharau.

There are tiny lambs roasted whole.
salmon which has been brought packed
In ice upon the heads Of runners from
distance of hundred miles, appetiz-
ing kababs Of lambs and venison,
fowls and cartridges Gin silver bowls,
Stewed to rags and served with strange
colored sauces Of the richest kind:
great heaps Of boiled rice in steaming
pyramids. white rice, green rice, COZ
ored by an artful adnixture of herbs:
rice boiled with saffron of a ruddy
gold color; omelets and sweet dishes,
innumerable little china cups Of tooth
some pickles, small china bowls con
tanning various thick soups, but not a
single joint to be seen. Everybody
eats away as if he had never tasted
food before. There are no forks, no
spoons, no plates; but every mans
hand appears to be dipping at once
into the innumerablo dishes.
Occasionally our host, with his
mouth half full, grunts out an en-
treaty that we should taste some par
ticular delicacy, and in twenty min.
utes all is over Iced rosewater is
poured upon the fingers Of each guest
from silver ever, and he wipes them
upon delicately embroidered napkin.
About tenth of what has been pro
vided has been consumed by the party :;
tho rest is removed and gobbled up
with surprising celebrity by the greas
tribe of hungry servants. Pipes are
brought once more, but there IS littlo
or no conversation; the Persians say
that ito talk after good meal is the
act of an i'll bred man or fool" And
then we get up and bid our hospitabla
friend good night. And as we leave,
We sec that the mysterious covered
tray is being taken to the banqueting
room, and we know that our fellow
guests and our host VIII drink, smoke
and gamble until an unholy hour in

Germany and England, where picto-
rial periodicals and newspapers are
published to get the effects of the
