humor, even greater than that which he en-

The Wool smoke Cure.

The value OF the smoke from burned
wool to remove the pain and soreness from
wounds of all kinds, or from sores, Is
great, and it will give immediate relief
from tn intense pain caused by gather
ing. The easiest way to prepare this is to
cut all wool fanuei-if you haven't the
wool-in narrow strips, take some hot
ashes with few small live Goals on a
shovel, sprinkle some of the flannel strips
on it, and hold the injured member in the
smoke for Ave or ten minutes, using plenty
of the flannel to make a thick smoke. Re-
peat as often as seems necessary, though
one smoking is usually enough. - New

Judge Miller Makes Some Remarks About

Theodore HGysman. jr., who was once n
member Of the police force here, and who was
afterward in the railroad business. was a de
fendantin the Police Court today. The charge
against him was ASSEMBLING a Phiiadciphian
named John Slack Hugs uan, who is now a
veterinary surgeon. was defended by Messrs.
Webb and Webb.
Stacks face and eyes looked as if he had
come in contact with something harder than a
mans fist and his physical sufferinSs Will no

According to Stacks story ne was sued in
Philadelphia for $4,000 for SANDER by a mem
Der of the Huysman family and judgment for
cents was rendered. Last night he sad he
met Huysman in a saloon on Pennsylvania ave-
nue. and the latter said he wanted to see him.
He was satisfied to see him inside the place and
declined to go outside
When he left the saloon he said he thought
no more of the defendant until they met near
9Th and G. strests. and then there was another
man with him. Slack said he did not know
who the other man was. although Huysman
said he wasa Philadelphian named Moore. Slack
said that when he reached 9th and G streets he
discovered that he had been followed and then
they assaulted him.
Sergeant Brosuan. who happened to be in the
neighborhood at the time. said that he saw a
portion of the difficulty and placed the men
under arrest The stranger. he said, struck
him (witnessl and then escaped.
Huysman denied that he followed Slack last
night and charged t-is.t Moore committed the
assault. When asked to exi lain why he had a
3S-caliber Coils revolver in his pocket he said
he carried il for self protection. he is called
on, Of the city TO attend horses at all hours of
the night
Judge Miller in summing up the case said:
SIN Washington We have had our MURDERS as
saults by footpads. knock downs and drag OUTS
bat never before have we had anything like
importing persons i'll this way. We have
enough touShs Of our own without importing
any from Philadelphia This case looks as
though professional kuocker or brUiser had
been brought here do this work
The victim is followed to dark
place and there he Is assaulted. An
officer appears upon the scene and he, too. is as
saulted and the brulser escapes. L am glad
to say that Washington has never before ex-
perienced any of this Philadelphia style of i'm
porting fighters So far the pistol il con-
cerned desire to SAY that man can carry a
pistol in this city"
In conclusion the court imposed a fine of
$50 on Huysman for the assault and similar
amount for having the pistol.

"Rev." Alfred sutton, the West India negro
who amuses audiences at Pennsylvania avenu e
and It'll street every Sunday afternoon when he
is not in the work house, was before Judge Kim
ball yesterday. The prisoner claimed that he
was being prosecuted, but the witnesses told
the judge that Sutton's version Of Bible history
was more amusing than correct, and one wit
ness said that his preaching was more bias
phemous than otherwise. Judge Kimball told
sutton that no one would ever be prosecuted
for preaching the Gospel, but that they would
be prosecuted II they engaged in such conduct
saying that he was persecuted like st. Pau! for
not preaching as the ministers wanted him.
Judge Kimball sent him down for sixty days.
