The local newspaper is made to
be read by all the people, and the
better it is the more readers it will
get in tho long run. Vicious journ-
ais may have an ephemeral success,
but as soon as they are found out
for what they are, the people let
them alone. A newspaper that
keeps up a high standard all the
time, year in and year out, does not
need to devote much time or space
to blowing its own horn.

BRESLIS DISMISSED.

Evidence Did Not Establish the Fact that
He Obtnined Money on False Pretensc.
The case of j. j. Breslin, charged
with obtaining $50 from negro woman
named Jane Finney under false pre-
tense, was tried before Justice Hover
ton Yesterday evening.
Jane Finney testified that she paid
Breslin So on two occasions. She did
so with the understanding that she was
to have possession Of the house now
occupied by Mary Thomas.
1T seems that Mary had told her that
she intended to move out. She owed a
months rent from April IS to May Is.
Jane asserts that She paid the $50 as
stated above with the understanding
that She was to take possession of tho
house May Is. But Breslin rented the
house to Mary Thomas again.
Breslin testified that tho first S25 was
paid by Mary Thomas, and the other by
Jane Finney, who occupied portion Of
the house at the time.
Tho whole matter seemed to simmer
down to fight between the two women
as to who should be mistress of the
house, and the testimony being very
conflicting, the justice dismissed the
case. Jane Kinney was represented by
MIR. Randolph, and Brcslin was defended
by Judge King.

Court Adjourned Yesterday TIL the July
Term.
( Judge Robertson was taken i'll yester-
day morning while holding court and
had to be removed to his residence on
Franklin street. DR.. Fry, the family
physician, was summoned. His condi-
ton twas somewhat improved yesterday
evening, but it is not probable that he
will be out for several days.
The judge has not been we'll for some
time. and his friends advised him
not to hold court until he became bet
ter. But the strong desire to be at his
post i'm peeled him TO act when it was
detrimental to his health.
The court was adjourned for the term,
and all business which was set for June
will be transferred to the July and Au-
gust dockets.
