Judge Doves Opinion.

Judge Dove, in rendering his de-
cision on the Alice and Lyons appli-
cation for bail, said:
"For many weary weeks the court
has sat and listened to the testimony
in this case. 1t has allowed many
irrelevant matters to go into the rec.
ord, no doubt, for which the court has
been from time to time censured. The
only excuse 1 have to offer is that it
was allowed in order that all the light
possible might he thrown on this
case. 1t was allowed, believe, first
to the state, and L was determined
that the defendants should have the
same privilege extended them.
This has been from the first the
saddest part of my official life. And
from the fact that one of the defend
ants is one with whom spent many
of my boyhood days. If have been
inclined to favors in this trial, it has
been toward the defendants. While
1 hold the rights of every man sacred
and dear, the laws of our common
wealth must be enforced. 1 am not
now acting in an individual capacity,
but am compelled to render my decis-
ion so that my conscience before the
final jud gment may be clear.
81 have listened attentively to the
evidence of this case. have patient
ly heard the attorneys on either side
and have gone over the evidence this
morning. 1 have observed some con-
fiictjng evidence on either side. 1t
becomes my duty to draw q distin-
gushing mark between that. 1t is
not my office to say whether these de-
PENDANTS are guilty are not guilty.
and 1 am truly glad that they have a
process provided by which they may
appeal to higher and more compe-
tent court. But the preponderance of
evidence on the part of the state COM
pels me to declare the defendants not
entitled to bail"

One hears not little about the short!
comings Of district messenger boys, and
they have long been n fruitful theme for
the inditer Of humorous paragraphs. Incl

be lost sight Of, and recent little event
in New England is but one of hundreds
that could be cited TO show that theas
bits of boys are faithful to their trust.
Up at New Haven young man lately
wished to send a note to his sweetheart
as to an engagement on Sunday evening.
The message was intrusted TO No. IA,
who, under the stimulus of an extra tip,
started out swiftly for the distant su-
burbS. When he arrived at the young
ladys house and rang the bell her father
loomed up from around the fence apd
wanted to know the boys business. On
being informed, he wanted that note at
once, No. IA told him he couldn't have
it; notes were 10 be delivered only 20
the persons TO whom they were nd
dressed.
The irate father made grab at tho
boy, but was not quick enough, and 30
gave chase TO the youngster all the Why
back to the Office, swearing that ha
would have the note from that dude
anyhow. The messenger BOY got in
first, tired out and breathless, and told
the manager of the occurrence.
"Where's the note?" asked the manager.
1--WE swallowed it," said the boy; 'T
thought that if hid it in my pocket tho
man might find it if he caught me, so 1
chewed it up in little bits while l was
running!" Just as he finished telling his
story in came the putting and indignant
father Even if the note had been still
in existence, it is needless to say he
would not have got it; and SO he had to
beat an igpominious retreat. That

DIementos of List.

Neatly Stevens, the Chicago pianiste,
whose beautiful hands have been photo
graphed, sculptured and written of, is
the proud possessor of various souvenirs
Of Liszt, which are treasured as jeal-
ously as devotee might guard the bones
of his patron saint. There is a withered
rosebud which "the master" wore in his
coat, and half smoked cigar which the
sardonic lips once held. There is a
precious lock of silver hair, which Ste
vens cut from Liszt's head, and a pack
of cards with which he once played q
game Of whist at little party which she
gave in his honor.
But her most precious relic is hand
kerchief dotted with tiny blood stains,
which she once wrapped about his finger
when he accidentally pricked it, and
which she swears never shall be laun-
dered. Miss Stevens also Possesses sew
eral original manuscripts Of the great
composer. Among others a song, Santa
Cecilio," and an ''Elegie, for violonceilo,
piano, harp and harmonium. The words
Of the song are in Liszt's own hand, and
the marks and erasures are as he made
them.-New York Sun.
