The First Conviction at the Present
Term of Court.
Thomas ]. Mason, tried in the Criminal
Court yesterday for selling liquor to
minors, was acquitted by the jury.
This morning the first case called for
trial was that Of WiSippthy A. Gallagher.
on Lincoln avenue in the county, between
July 20 and 20 last.
Special Officer Smith, colored, testified
to having seen liquor sold on the prem
ises, and to having purchased whisky at
the place on the 26th of July. Sergeant
Slattery testified that he left the notice of
the final rejection of ,Gallagher's license
on July 10, end Gallagher had defied him
and said he would keep barroom any
way. A verdict of guilty was returned by
the jury, and the usual fine, sl05 and
costs, imposed. Gallagher is the first
liquor dealer who has been convicted dur
ing the present trial of appeal cases.
Patrick OToole pleaded guilty to the
charge of keeping an unlicensed bar. He

ment with the prosecuting attorney, judg-
ment was suspended for thirty days in
order to give the defendant time to pay

MUST DIE FOR HIS CRIME.


Murderer's Sentence.
OpELIRA, ALA, Jan. 16.-Governor
Jones has refused to commute the sen-
tence of John johnson, 15-ycar-old
negro murderer, sentenced to be hanged
to-day.
johnson was one of three young desper-
ADDE'S who started out from Birmingham
on tour of robbery several months ago.
One was captured in La Grange. The
other two came to Opelika and shot ne
gro who pursued them. For three days
Johnson defied the officers, during that
time shooting at dozen men, and then
resumed his journey towards Birming,,
ham on the railroad track with his pistol
in his hand.
Mr.. Stringfellow, track walker. saw
him and walked ON with him to Gold Hill,
but could not get an opportunity to dis.
arm him. On their arrival at Gold Hill
Stringfellow notified Justice of the Peace
i. J. Moore, and the two started after
Johnson, who had just kept on down the
railroad track When they overlook him
the negro had concealed the pistol. Moore
told HIM he was going to arrest him, and
demanded the pistol. johnson said he
would give II to him, and with a quick
movement ierked II out of his shirt and
shot Moore through the heart.
Stringfellow then jumped on the negro
and threw him down. As he did so, John
son fired at him, and the powder black
ened his face. Stringfellow finally sue
ceeded i'm taking the pistol from him, and
took him back to Gold Hill. From there
Johnson was taken to Opelika Just in
time to prevent lynching by Moore's
friends.

BAD INDIAN AGENTS.

The war on the Indian agents has be-
gun in earnest. A thorough wedding out
Of these functionaries may prevent a re-
currence of the present hostilities. Albany
Press.
The Indians never will remain con-
tented MS long as the Indian agencies are
political appointments. An Indian agent
knows that he must make his pile in four
years, and GOO pounds of beef weigh only
400 pounds as result.-Sdn francisco Er-
dDlinCr.
This Is great nation, but there is moth
ing in all history more utterly shameful
than the story of our dealings with the
Indians. And in all the Century of Dis.
honor there is nothing more shameful
and indefensible than the miserable story
of the latest Sioux war. ar."-BrooklyR
Times.
The removal of Agent Roger and the
substitution Army officers at Pine Ridge,
Rosebud and Standing Rock agencies is
simply locking the stable door after the
horse has been stolen. BY this means,
however, the Administration absolutely
condemns the managomcntof the Indian
service, under its own incumbcncy. y.-Noo

starved, the agents get rich or live high,

Indian, is satisfied. The latters COM

getting the car of the Great Father, and
that is to go on the warpatn.-Toledo Bee.
The supersedure of Indian Agent Royer
by Captain Pierce Of the First Infantry, at
the Pine Ridge agency, is step in the
right direction. Whatever the Interior
Department may think about il there is a
general feeling throughout the country
that 1t would be n wise change which
would give to the Army the supervision
of the lndians.-Albany Times.
The Indian is not to blame for the nature
he has inherited. If the Government
wishes to avoid trouble with him why
does it provoke his ugly nature by dis
regarding. every agreement it makes?
When white men are imposed upon,
cheated and lied to, they kick. Should
the Indians under similar circumstances
be expected to do otherwisc.-Bertrand
(Ne6.) Herald.
Certain Indian agencies having been
placed temporarily in the charge of the
War Department, this seems to be good
time to consider the advisability of turn
ing the whole Indian business over to that
Department There would then be sim

VIII He Apologize Ere IL is Too Late?


The more the step is considered the
greater the mistake of Lord Salisbury ap-
pears to be. For 1t is evident that Great
Britain has everything to lose and nothing
to gain by its unprecedented application
to our Supreme Court. The OBJ
lection to the course taken by Great Brit
ain is that it has the appearance of coup,
a secret flank movement to get before an
other tribuna! great diplomatic issue
still under diplomatic discussion.
Such stepcould beproperly taken only
with the diplomatic concurrence of our
Government or after the termination of
the diplomatic controversy. To take 1t
without such concurrence and with that
controversy still in progress is simply to
ignore il not to affront the Department of
our Government intrusted with the con-
duct of international negotiations. .
Had Great Britain left the aggrieved vessel
owner to seek alone his own remedy, that
government would be in position TO take
advantage of favorable decision without
being called to account for breach of
diplomatic etiquette and international
comfy.
II is, of course, open to Lord Salisbury
to disavoy the proceeding and direct the
application to be withdrawn. This he can
still do with honor to his country and
credit to himself. But he can hardly eX-
pect the case of England to be pressed in
the Supreme Court and at the same time
its friendly diplomatic consideration con
tinue uninterruptedly.

Babies the Latest Fad.

CoyyoSpORdeacsQf he Courier-Jouraal.
A much-mooted question just now is,
as it fashionable to be mother" and it
may be most emphatically answered in
the affirmative. The smartest of the
young fashionable women in New York are
never so proud as when they are accom-
panied in their drives by handsome
baby-prouder and happier IL they hap
pen to have twins; and the whole lot of
them were as envious rs they could be
when one of their set presented, on Christ
mas day, to her happy husband, two of
the sweetest girl babies you ever saw.
ionable babies are very simply dress
ed, but with every thought given
to their comfort. Beautiful fine
fabrics are used for their little frocks, but
lace and embroidery are counted as un-
desirable, though no end of fine sewing
by hand is permitted. 1t has only been
among vulgar, new rich set of people
that 1t is limited that maternity is out of
fashion. That woman's life is never quite
complete who is not wife and a mother;
and, my friend, when you hear some
young woman laugh and say she wouldn't
be bothered with a baby, don't you be-
lieve it. God hasn't seen fit to make her
mother, and the bravado with which
she talks is as sorrowful as if she had put
the grief into words. Every normal
woman wants TO be a mother, and when
she doesn't there is something wrong
about her something wicked, and she can
never be either a good friend or good
wife unless she has this desire. We may
only have bread and cheese to offer, but
you know if they are spiced with kisses
they have flavor that the finest sweets,
the richest of game, and the most deli
cate Of fruits do not possess.

Dan Voorhees, Tough Time.

Dan Voorhees, had pretty tough time
with Cleveland for spell, says the
Chicago Neus. Dan was bound to get a
certain friend of his appointed to one of
the Federal offices in lndiana--an i'm
portant ofiice-never mind what. This
candidate had a mighty salty record and
Cleveland knew 1t, although he didn't
care to say much about it. Well, one day
VOORHEES, and lot of his Hoosier allies
marched up to the White House to make
final assault upon the Executive. The
battle had been carefully, adroitly, bril-
liantly planned.
First letters, kilograms, affidavits and
number Of speeches were made by various
all Voorhees, arose and delivered himself of
one of his splendid orations-an grafton
setting forth most eloquently the noble
qualifications of his candidate, the notable
services he had always contributed
generously and cheerfully to the party,
etc. When he sat down an awful hush
fell upon the assemblage the other
HoOsiers looked at one another as much
as to say, Dan has doneit--his eloquence
is Irresistible"
/ Cleveland had sat through it all un-
moved; he had listened without giving any
sign either of approval or of dissent. He
bad heard everything.
Senator Voorhees," said Cleveland,
presently, ~ can understand now why
you enjoy so great reputation as a jury
lawyer, but'--and here he brought his
fist down upon the table before him
Pm - if will appoint your man!'
He didn't appoint him either.

There is good story told in the New
York World of certain man of the 400,
whose daughter was to marry nabob
with lots Of money, but of rather uncer-
tain origin. The pater famlias doing the
correct thing, invited the young mans
father to dine with him, and when the
wine began to flow freely and little conf
dences were being exchanged, he thought
il good time to investigate the pedigree
of his son-in-law elect
''l cannot exactly remember having
ever met you before2" he remarked rather
suggestively.
~ guess not answered the other, and
added in an extraordinary burst of CONT
dence, "but remember you well enough.
You see my father kept big livery stable,
and / used to drive one of the hacks and
I've brought you up from the station
many time, and | remember you never
gave any tips either" The rest can be
imagined.

euyEp COLONEL SHEPARD.
He Is introduced to the Clover Club
and VIII Remember IL.

From he Nep FORK Sun.
PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 16.--The ninth an
niversary dinner of the Clover Club was
celebrated at the Hotel Bellevue this even
ing. Among the New York guests were
Bill Nye, Richard Harding Davis, Mar
shall Wilder, and Colonel Elliott f.
Shepard.
This was the first experience Colonel
Shepard ever had with the Clover Club.
When called upon to speak he arose, and
before he had fairly opened his mouth a
hundred persons began to sing the Sweet
Bye and Bye"
Then they switched off to "Hold the
Fort" and the Colonel's whiskers began
to sway with coming wrath. He reserved
his strength and said:
gentlemen, we are here tonight
tC-"
"Pull for the shore, sailor, pull for the
Shore" was the song that greeted him.
Then those present took compassion upon
him and allowed him to propose o toast
to the newspaper profession. Nobody
Joined in and the Colonel drank II alone
and sat down to recover.
Private Jack Allen of Mississippi was
introduced by Major Handy in sarcastic
speech. All of the old officers of the
club were reelected.
The chief guest of the evening was T.
p. OConnor. When called upon to
speak he was guyed and chaffed but he
did not finch. Among other things he
said:
Gentlemen, this scene makes me
homesick. | have never seen more dis

Commons "

TWISTED SPEECH.
Some Peculiarities of the Dialect Used
in New England.

"
in New England.
The New England dialect is still kinky,
with misuse of vowels and rodun-
dancy of negatives, says the Detroit Free
Press, but these peculiarities are not
blemishes; on the contrary, they add
picturesqueness to the language.
"Yes i be" does not mean Ignorance,
but local habit.
II don't s'pose" is common to Maine
and Vermont, and is used to preface u
question.
When speaking of man who has been
friends say: "He has failed up"
OF man who is stingy they reaarll
that he is "a little near" or Every near"
Some of the phrases are full of mean
ing, as when they speak of one carrying
a great load, "he lugged it in," which
means more than fetched, as it gives a
good idea of an outlay of strength.
In some localities instead of saying "he
has rented house." it is "he has got his
rent or "rve been over and seen his
rent" idioms as simple to them as they
are obscure to the visitor.
A word in common use among the old
fashioned people strikes the unaccustomed
ear as very peculiar. When n mans coat
doesn't fit him they say: at fays badly"
Looked up, the word is by no means Il
vagabond, but one of respectable antece-
dents, and found in every modern diction-
ary. It is good old English word, mean
ing to fit.
A man who has "hoss" to sell does
not tell the buyer that he is in good con-
dition. He says in the vernacular: "You
kin trot that hoss thirty miles and back
and you won't find any outs in him."
All these little peculiarities of speech
"obtain," as the dialecticians would say,
among educated people. The laborers
have language of their own, of whom a
chronicler reports this amusing speech:
~ don't s'pose there aint nobody seen
nothin' of no old felt hat nowhere?"
This exhaustive use of the negative Is
duplicated in the same locality as the pre-
ceding question in this way:
~ don't s'pose you don't know of no
body that don't want to hire nobody to
dew nothin'?'

FEMININE NOTES.

Brilliant red and vivid shades of yellow
are at present n rage in millinery.
Feathered fans, mounted in ivory or
mother-of-pearl, are considered the most
elegant for young ladies.
White or colored satin shoes are en-
broidered in beads upon the instep. but
have no bows of ribbon.
Several of the largest institutions for
women in England have organized fire
brigades composed entirely of women.
The smallest toque yet invented is made
of two rows of jet beads, a cluster of black
feather pon-pons and a bow of pink rib
bons.
Sleeves are cut little wider and longer
on top to allow little fullness, but are
never very large, as they spoil the effect
of the gown.
A black lace toilet, and one of white
lace, with stylish made black silk gown,
will carry lady who ''goes out little
during the season."
Transposc your checked travelling dress
into an afternoon house dress by new
sleeves of .tdiNe Frdncdise and trimming
of one of the new galloons.
White glazed kid gloves, or very light
colored ones, chiefly in pale mauve or
rose tints, are once more fashionable, and
not SO long as last winter.
Dainty aprons are of wash silk in any
delicate shade, hemmed with brier stitch
ing in the same color, and with pockets
and lower frill of lace.
Tea-gowns are made quite loose, the
side pieces falling from the shoulders
over a draped front. They are fitted to
the waist at the back and form a loose
train.
Young ladies wear dresses of white tulle,
two or three tulle skirts, looped up with
silk skirt The low bodice is draped,
Grecian fashion, and trimmed upon the
shoulders.
Coiffures are now very low, with long
curles of plated catogan at the back.
Few ornaments are worn, jeweled pins,
small ostrich tips or a spray of flowers.
Diamonds are exquisitely mounted in
detached sprays for the hair.

another coordinate branch, and the

very well conclude that for it to interfere

traordinary method proposed
