The Practice of Taitng Personal Bonds
Criticised--'slt IL stmplN tho From
ise of a Prisoner To Reform" say.
Judge Wills.
There has for many years been
question in the minds Of those who have
70 do with administering the law in
Washington as to whether q judge has
the power to take the personal bonds Of
prisoner brought before him for trial
Recently there has been great deal OF
discussion on account of decision
made week ago by Judge Miller in
the Police Court. and the legal frater-
nifty Of the city is divided on the ques-
ton. The term Is n meaningless one,
and of the near 10000 people walking
about the streets Of this city who have
given their personal bonds, not one Of
them. perhaps, could define the phrase.
1t is the bete Hoir Of the members of
the police force, and they will be glad
to'know that in the opinion Of the best
legal talent of the city il will soon fall
into disuse
TIE POLICE OFFICERS PLEASED.
The officer, who has good record
and wants TO make u better one, con
siders that when the bonds of his pris-
oucr are taken il is censure upon the
manner in which his duties are per-
formed, and they speak in the most dis
approving terms of the custom.

Peace, and when Judge Miller is in

Police Court. ~ made q decision re

There is no middle ground, but this i,
just what personal bonds creates.
ORIGIN OF THE PRACTICE.
"The practice originated in the higher
courts some years ago, and from them
descended TO us. They were taken in
criminal cases. in which the Court did
not think the defendant had made him
self liable TO sentence, and yet where
the facts showed that he had been con
cerned in The crime. The practice i,
nothing more nor less than an assump
ton of privilege which, by right, be

Springfield to- become conservative in
speech, and the statements that the multi-
tudc Of reporters who have called upon him
aud have heard from his eloquent lips the
words of wisdom have generally been inac-

received by the public with unqualified all

close TO the mark IN the case Of Mr.. Thomas

powDy WOMEN OF BOSTON.
Too Strong Minded and .Esthetic to

Wear Clothes Gracefully.
1t is feared that Boston women can
never claim the title of being we'll
dressed, says the Boston Herald. Do
what the few may to aspire to that
favorite verdict, there is always the or
dinary uncorseted, hygienic majority to
cOunteract it, 1t would be laughable
were it not pathetic to note the short
comings in this one direction of the
average Boston woman. She has as
much opportunity, as many means of
dressing well as women elsewhere, but
she invariably fails in producing the
effect which strikes the observer in New
York.
Regard the throngs of women who
daily pass up and down Boylston street,
for instance, and point ont ten, if you
can, who become their clothes or who
carry themselves with grace and ele-
gance. Nearly all have been to fash
ionable tailors, who have done what
lay within their power to give chic, air.

born. She will not permit her precon-
ceived notions to be displaced by the
newest laSnlOnS; Sne VIII not wear n
corset; she will wear hygienic waist,
If she wants to; she won't wear her hair
except so and she will kick up her
skirts at the back because her gymna-
SUM teacher tells her to bring all the
muscles into play when she walks.
Besides this, she is in haste. How
can she take life easily and gracefully
when sixty different calls are being
made on her time and brain all at oncei
The art of wearing her clothes we'll is
unknown to her. She puts them on.
She does not make her toilet. She
wouldn't be guilty Of 'prinking," nor
of being sure her boots were well
hacked; nor would this usual Boston
woman consider it worth her while to
take hand mirror to see if the angle
of her virtuous bonnet corresponded
with the angles of her profile and hel

NswspApor Man

Newspaper Man
There are more than two newspaper
men living in Woodsburg, L L, and
of one of them the boys told the Ram
bier a good story. 1t seems that the
newspaper man in question had been
annoyed by a persistent book Canvass
er. She was young, pretty and talk
alive and had for sale q gaudily GOV
cred book entitled How TO Be Good"
The newspaper nan was busy when she
first called on him and he told her to
drop in when he had more time. She
did not succeed in selling the book on
the first attempt nor on the second.
Her visits, however, became so fire.
quent that the newspaper man told his
wife OF the matter. She was struck
with the title of the book and told her
husband that he ought to buy it as he
needed instruction on the subject
treated. The book agent called the
next day, IS usual, and the newspaper
man said:
"WeI I'll take your book, but l
would not buy it only my wife has
taken a fancy TO the title"
The lady canvasser had not closed
her purse on the 81 which she received
for the book before she learned where
the newspaper nan lived, and that
afternoon found her in Woodsburg,
where she sold a second copy of the
book to the newspaper mans wife.
