JUSTICE TO JUDGE KING.
A Correction of a Misleading Adver-
tisement.


tisement.
An advertisement appeared in the
HERALD some days ago, referring to
Judge King. Neither of the editors of
the HERALD saw the advertisement or
it would not have been published. 1t
is a matter of regret that such state
ments should have been printed in any
form, and the HERALD gladly prints the
following letter on the matter from Cen
eral Baldwin, which expresses most
aptly the HERALD's feelings:
EDITORS HERALD: 1 have come at the
request of Judge A. j. King, to call
your attention to card in your issue OF
the 22d inst, signed by Mrs. Esperanza
b. de Avila, accusing him (Judge King)
OF most unprofessional conduct. 1t ID
easily understandable that such card
should find insertion without either of
you gentlemen knowing it. But once
In, unless you are cognizant of the
truth of the statements and desire to
assume the responsibility of making
them public, it seems to me that the
desire to do unto others as you would
be done by. should influence you to
state in your paper the facts in connec-
ton with the publication, and that from
your acquaintance with Judge King you
do not believe the allegations. 1t may
well be that any such statement made
by you will but have tendency to call
attention to the notice in question, but
inasmuch as it is desired by Judge King
and can but reflect credit upon you,
l trust that you will not hesitate in pub
fishing it in your earliest issue, and thus
oblige your very obedient servant,

The Beebe Barbour company has
tried a week of popular prices at the
pavilion with poor success. This, how
ever, is no argument against low prices
for the drama being a good business
policy in this city. The Beebe company
is not strong artistically, and the pa
vilion is not a comfortable house in
good weather, while during series of
northers, such as we have been endur-
ing of late, it is folly to expect people
will go there, for the grip is in ambush
in every dratt-swept Granny and nook
OF the barn.

Truck Loads or Money.

Did you ever see more money than you
could carry? Comparatively few people
have, but such sight may be often wit
messed in the lower end Of the city. AS
an incident to draw crowd the loading

custom house truck stopped in front of
one of the Broadway safe deposit insti-

handcarts loaded with silver bars which
others tossed into the truck. They looked

Funeral Of the Cars Nurs..

There was a remarkable scene in st..
Petersburg the other day at the funeral
of Miss Catherine Strutton, who was the
nurse of the present Czar. The deceased
lady was eighty-one years of age, and
had been forry-six years in tie service
Of the imperial family. In fact, she died
at the Winter Palace from which the
funeral procession started. The weather
was very bad and the streets were full of
melting snow and mud, which made the
walking particularly disagreeable. But
in spite of all this and the attending dis
comfort, it is worthy of note that none
of those who were expected to be pres
ent failed to put in appearance. The
White Gar himself, and the Grand
Dukes Vladimir, Scrgius and Paul,
walked side by side behind the hearse
which contained the old lady's coffin,
wading knee deep in the slush to the
English church. There the imperial
party attended the funeral service, the
Emperor sitting in the Ambassador
pew, and at the grave the English clergy.

underneath it. Then he ordered the gas
to be turned down, and,requestcd each
man to touch the dish in turn, saying
that the cat would. mewswhen the thief

cried, 81 have himi" and ordered the

putting it on the ground.

had not cared to tempt the ordeal by

appears at the crack. After time the
head is protruded, and often remains
out of the shell for some hours before the
