DISTRICT CASES ON TRIAL.
Chief Justice Bin CHAM Explains His
Ruling as to Evidence In Liquor Cases.

In the Criminal Court today the trial Of Dis
trict cases appealed from the Police Court was
resumed In the cases OF Frank Seyasse,
charged with keeping an unlicensed bar, and
Valentine Guser. for Sunday bar, nolle prose-
quies were entered
In the case Of Albert C. Justus, charged with
being an unlicensed commercial agent the
verdict was set side and the case dismissed the
Supreme Court of the United States having de-
cided the act to be unconstitutional
The case of James Watson. charged with
keeping an unlicensed bar-Mr. F. Z. Gloss for
defendant-was called for trial IL WAS not
denied that liquor WIRE sold. but it was con-
tended that certain officers during the absence
OF MIR. Watson, who was sick, procured liquor
there from the clerk. Office Mcnamara testi-
fed that he was given the names Of several
parties who were thought to be violating the
law, and, suspecting Watson, went there and
got liquor and subsequently senta coored m an
there and be got half pint OF whisky. Officer
Stearman corroborated Officer Mcnamara.
The colored man. VIM. Hunter. testified tina I
he bought the whisky as stated. On cross-ex-
animation he testified that he was sent by Ser
geant Robey from Georgetown. He was given
IS by Sergean: Robey besides the money to be
ton witness said he went there 20 get the
whisky for the officer; said that the police had
no thing to do with getting him in the bureau
Of engraving and printing.
MIR. Gloss asked IL he had been correctly in
formed that such evidence would not substan-
| tiate the charge.
The chief justice said his ruling seemed to
have been mlsconstrued. He had said that II
the charge was the selling of single glass OF
liquor and II the government furnished the
money and induced the sale the evidence could
| not he received When the prosecution was
| for an unlicensed bar and the question was as
to keeping place where liquor was sold il
does not necessarily follow that the evidence
| should fail. II 1t was believed that the party
kept such place and witnesses were sent there
to ascertain If it was their evidence as to the
surroundings and the business could be re-
| ceived that the jury might decide if liquors
| were sold IN violation of Law.
/ For the defense 1t was testified that nc
charge was made for the whisky, of which a
half pint had been sold; that the proprietor
was absent in the country at the time and ha
oft explicit orders against the selling Of liquor
| by the small.
| verdict of not guilty was found

White is tho mourning .arb through
ont the far East. The Hindoo son whose
father dies must not shave or wear shoes

white cloth during The period of mourn

white, moving among the gayly dressed
throngs OF every Chinese city. Aud
wncn Chinaman is in mourning he
5raids white silk into his hair ana has
even the solcs of his shoes painted white.
He entirely discards for the time all
things of rcd color, and he takes the rcd
coloring off the furniture Of his house.
Red is the color of prosperity in China.
1t means lucky, and the ordinary Chinese
visiting card is strip Of red paper rs

IN mourning Inc prints his name on white
visiting cards, and he docs this for three
years. AT the end of that time ne puts OH
garments of modified color aud writes
ON his visiting cards the word 'tam,"
which means, "aIy grief is not 80 bitter
us before" Chinese, aud in fact all
nations of the Orient, arc more rigid rs
to their terms of mourning thm we arc.
The Chlnaman who would rot put on
mourning for his father would be ar

Jewels in the Temples.

The Buddhists in Burmah do rot con-
slider the question OF expense in kaaut,fy-
Ing their temples. Here is the descrip-
zion OF the new wane of the pegoda at
Rangoon: The vane is about three by one
and half feet broad, and thickly
crrstcd with precious stones and lovely
fans of the rcd Burmese gold. One ruby
alone is worth 5000 rupees, and there arc
several hundred rubics alone on this
beautiful thing. On the Zip of the iron
rod on which works the vane is arichly
carved and perforated gold ornament
called the Semboo. 1t is somewhat egg
shaped and foot in height, tipped BY
IN enormous diamond encircled by many
smaller onos, crustcd on like barnacles..
All over this exquisite oval object, are
similar clumps Of diamonds. no other
stones being used for this part.
