worRing IN the Wnd Hemp Tibre.

Mr.. Nayemura Sakusaburo, drug
cist of Hikone in Omi after many
wears of experiment and patient re-
search. has succeeded in converting wild
hemp ,yachyol into a substance possess
ing an the essential qualities of silk.
Nothing is said about the process, but il
is asserted that trial of the thread las
been made at the First Silk Weaving
Establishment i'm Kyoto. and at other
factories with excellent results in every
case. The highest encomiums have been
bestowed ON the inventor, and complete
success appears TO be within his reach.
The plant in question grows wild on
moors and hillSides. Its fibre is strong
and glossy, in no wise inferior to silk
when pro- erly prepared. Cultivation on
an extended scale would present no diff
fculties. The present idea is to form a
company for working it, and to estab-
lsh fa tory in X OTTO, where land IS

The other morning Edwin Booth was
very much startled when a waiter at the
Mount Vernon Ho.cl. Blltiu ore. brought
two cards To- hi, room bearing the names
of two ladies unknown 10 him. The
waiter said the ladies were pretty, and
were waiting in the parlor. In a few
minute, Booth made his APP earance IN
the parlor. aud much TO his surprise he
found two Young and very pretty socIe.y
Girls our of whom wa, dehulante last

attended every performance since ms
arrival I'M Baltimore. and had become 80
f..cinated with him that they had de
ciled TO CALI They hoped he would
pardon them for doing So For few
minutes Booth said nothing. First he
looked go their cards. which lac still held
i'm his hand. and then at the girls, who
blu,hed and became very much confused.
AT last ,he silence was broken.
Young ladies, said Booth, Il happen
Ia know the names on these cards To be
assumed. and ii only knew your real
name, / should most certainly inform
your parents what YOU have done. Now,
take my advice, go home, and don't ever

JACK McAULIFFE RECEIVES
CHALLENGE FROM ENGLAND.
Jennie Carney Painting for Battle With
the Frisco Lightweight-A Slugging
Match Between Two Illinoisans.

New YORK, April 9.-According to in
formation received in this city, Jennie
Carney, of Birmingham, England, light
weight champion of England, is anxious
to have another go with Jack McAuliffe
before the California Athletic Club, with
two-ounce gloves. Carney wants the
fight to be for purse of $4,000, the con-
test to take place within four or six
months from the signing of the articles.
Ii this proposition does not suit Nc
Auliffe, Carney will fight him in Eng
land for $4,000 or $4,000 a side and
allow $3.50 for expenses. Ii the fight
takes place in England, he will deposit
$4,000, which he will forfeit if the Amer
lean does not receive fair play. A tele-
gram has been sent to McAuliffe and
President Fulda, of the California Ath-
letic Club, asking whether such meet
ing can be arranged.
Illinois Brufsers.
CHICAGO, April 9.-Owen Cougle and
James Dohoney, of Chicago, fought at
Shelby, Indiana, this morning, for the
championship of Illinois. The fight was
declared draw at the close of the fifty
third round. Cougle's jaw was broken
by swagging right-hander from Doho-
ney in the seventeenth round, but he
continued the fight, standing on the de.
fensive, and waiting for an opening tc
do Dohoney up with a punch. 1t did
not come, however. Cougle is a very
powerful man, but unskilled, while Do
honey has had practice in the ring.

THE LAWS DELAY.
The Time Ripe for Radical Judicial Re-
form.

SAN Francisco, April GA circular
has just been issued by the California
State Bar Association, which contains
an address by ex-Judge Thomas z. Sto-
rey, president. President Storey states
that well-founded dissatisfaction with
the condition of the law and the mode
of its administration in this State pre-
walls widely. He says: "There is de-
plorable uncertainty as to what the law
is, owing to the want of harmony in the
opinions of the justices composing the
Supreme Court, and added to this con-
dition of affairs there is an intolerable
delay in obtaining justice in the ordi-
nary course of judicial procedure" He
declares that if the evils complained of
are as serious as they are claimed to be,
the only adequate remedy will lie in the
thorough reorganization of the system
by amending the constitution. The
president announces that the executive
committee deems it advisable to have a
thorough discussion of the subject of jul
dicial reform at the annual meeting Of
the association, May 9th next, and in
vites the attention of all members to the
subject.

EAsToN, Pa, April 9.-William FL.
Bartholomew was hanged here this
morning for the murder of Aaron w.
billiard, near Beersville on September
9th last. They owned neighboring
farms. Bartholomew had an intrigue
with Mrs. billiard. Together they con-
cocted a plan to get billiard to go out OF
his house at night to look after the
cause of a disturbance among his chick
ems, when Bartholomew shot him. Mrs.
billiard made full confession, and was
sentenced to prison for life. Bartholo-
news neck was broken by the fall.
Although Bartholomew threatened to
give the Sheriff trouble and fight to the
last, he walked to the scaffold quietly,
with firm step. After the arrange
ments were completed he declared him
self innocent, then began damning all
his accusers and demanding that Detec-
tive Johnson and his paramour, Mrs.
billiard, be also hanged. His last words
were mixed with violent oaths and
blasphemous language.
