Legal Status of q Wo,nau's Pocket.


The legal status of womnn's pocket.
says the New York Times, has recently
been defined by the court of appeals. That
august tribunal has decided that a pocket
in q woman's dress is never empty. In one of
ths crowded markets Of New York Thomas
Moran was caught by detective with his ham
in a wOn,an's pocket. The woman became lost
il the crowd and her identity was not discoy-
ered, The oulprit was accused by the grand
iuiN OF an attempt at larceny and he was con
victed OF thu. offense and scnteEced to prison.
HIS lawyer appealed to the general term and
that court discharged the prisoner, holding that
in the absence Of proof that there was anything
in the pocket there could be no attempt. The
presence OF spool or an empty pocket book
would have altered the case but an empty
pocket was below Judicial consideration. As
sistan. District AttorIc. Jerome argued with
great force to the court of appeals that crime
Ind been proved. and Chief Justice Ruger has
written a long opinion in which his judicial
brethren concur, holding that the presence of
the hand in the pocket is sufficient to make out
the offense.
1t viii thus be seen that the three eminent
legal minds Of the general term differed from
the seven judges OF the court of appeals and
as the members of the blr watched the pro-
gress Of the case they were about
evenly divided as TO- what the result
argument Of those who believed that no crime
was committed was this proposition: Suppose
John smith announces that he intends to
kill John Doe, and loading his revolver, starts
In quest OF his victim. When he supposes be
sees Mr.. Doe he empties his revolver in his tli-
rection, but it turns out that in the dark he has
mistaken a tree for his man. On these facts,
could AIR. Smith be charged with an attempt TO
kill Mr.. Doe? several pages Of the Law reports
are consumed in discussing this interesting
question, Chief Justice Ringer thus pithily for
mulating his position: ..Many efforts have been
thus far succeeded, and many have grappled
with the theory Of perpetual motion Without
success possibly from the fact Of its non-exist-

attempt was not madsY'

An Exhorter in Trouble.

David NJ. Daniels is in Jail in Uniontown, Pa,
the two chief witnesses against him being the
woman who was supposed to be his wife and
her seventeen-year-oldd daughter. JOS Evans,
well-known resident, is the prosecutor, charg-
ing that Daniels has a wife and family in Wales.
At the hearing the woman testified that she was
the wife Of Charles Evans of Pittsburg, and
that Daniels who boarded with them. had in
duced her to eloPe. Some time ago she dis
covered that Daniels was having improper re.
iations with her daughter, and the latter con-
fessed to this at the hearing. Daniels was re-
manded to Jail to await trial on three charges.
Daniels has been a loud exhorter at gospel

THE CRISIS IN CANADA
What L. Said About Sir John Macdonald
Latest Mora

Latest Move.
The Toronto Empire Cgovernmen. organ),
commenting on Lord Stanley's dispatch to Lord
knutsford on reciprocity, says: I'VE believe
the people Of Canada will indorse the govern.
ment in the policy it has been pursuing and
will strengthen its hand liz attempts to secure
a fair treaty without absolute surrender of our
commercial system, which ia necessarily in
volved in the opposition policy, with its de-
ciared intention Of reducing Canada to a state
OF vassalage in subjecting to the United States
of discriminating against the trade of the en-
pire and forcing us into direct taxation. No
government would dare to make such a propo-
sition, no parliament would sanction il and the
presen. proposal which expresses an earnest
desire on the part of Canada for fuller trade
relations withou. surrender of our interests is
the only one that could be made vita honor
and with safety"
The Mail (Ind.), referring to the coming
elections, says: From party point Of view Sir
John Macdonald has, in making his appeal at
this moment, perpetrated a bold stroke The
liberal leaders have declared from the platform
that they are ready for the fray whenever it
may come. But. after all. this is mere rhetoric
The party could be far better prepared a year
hence. There is not unanimity in the ranks on
the question the government has chosen as the
issue. Again, the liberals have to carry the
Odium attached to them by the United States
press, which declares, with zeal that is not
pleasant to witness, that American influence
must be thrown on the side of that party be-
cause Of the two it is the better for the Amer
leans to treat with.
The Globe QiberaD says. John MacDon-
aid proposal to send delegates TO Washington
when the elections are over to talk trade when
he himself is pledged to the eyes to support the
national policy, while MIR. Blaine has declared
just distinctly that reciprocity in natural
products alone will not be entertained. is the
most transparent device the old man has ever
adopted. TO be sure he has pretty nearly ex-
hausted the resources of make-beiieve in pre-
pairing bird lime for election purposes. Still if
he were the man he once was. he could have
concocted something more plausible than this
