Mr.. M|AL COMES

One Juryman Hangs Fire
But the Judge Or
ders Him to Say
"Guilty.'
A FAIR AND SQUARE YER
DICT.
The Case Of Mr.. Cheek against Mr.
Msal for $4,000 'amages for
False ArreI Decided.
Other Ne,cs.

That was a novel suit that came
up Thursday in the Federal Court.
1t was a suit brought by NJ. II. A.
Cheek, who has been engaged
in carrying negro laborers out
South, against Mr.. A. I. Mial
for $4,000 damages for arrest.
The facts were that a number of
negroes on Mr.. Mails plantation
were taken out to Mississippi by
Mr.. Cheek in March, 1889.
Mr.. Mial arrested him for inducing
his hands to leave. Mr.. Mial did not
bring this action, as we understand
it, until he had consulted his attor-
neys, Battle and Mordecai, and the
State Solicitor, Col. Argo.
Upon Mr.. Cheeks arrest, JUS
tice Barbee sentenced him to Jail or
give bail. Mr.. Cheek gave bail.
When the case came up for hear
ing before the State Superior
Court, Mr.. Cheek was acquit-
ted. He thereupon brought
suit for damages against Mr..
Mial for $4,000. Mr.. Cheek
was represented by Fuller & Snow
and Pace & Holding. The
counsel for Mr.. Mial were Battle &
Mordecai, and Col. I. M. Argo.
The witnesses were examined
Thursday. Mr.. Cheek testified that
Mr.. Mial met him at the depot Oh
the night of March Goth 1889 when
the negroes were being carried
South, and asked him to let him
(Mial) see his list. Mr.. Mial then
told him that he had some of his
hands that were under contract with
him. Mr.. Cheek replied: ''If
have any hands under contract t(
work with you, point them out an(
they shall not 60 with me-" Where
upon Mr.. Mial pointed out certain
negroes, and Cheek told them t.
get their baggage out, that he woul'
not carry off anybody that was un
der contract. He next met Mr.
Mial in Greensboro, and Mr.. M
said: II have got you now," an(
Mr.. Cheek was arrested, carrie
before a magistrate, and brough

long crOss-examinatiOn.

The Apache Criterion of Wives.

The plural wife system prevails at
San Carlos, where it is regarded by
Apache bucks as profitable for the rea-
son that wives are tireless toilers. They
chop wood carry water, pack hay, herd
stock, build wicliups, cook, and in fact
do all the labor calculated to contribute
to the necessity and comfort of the
camp. Apache women are merchanta.
ble-are bought and sold. A bucks
wealth is estimated, in part, by the
number of his wives. The value of q
wife is calculated by the weight she car
carry; therefore those having defective
spines and unable to pack sack Of
flour, or bundle of hay, or an eighth Of
cord of wood and pappoose at the
same time, are not regarded as valua.

"SOciety" Disappearing

In the democratic nineteenth century
Society" in the old and aristocratio
sense of the term, is disappearing,
People of a certain class and certain
means do certain things at certain
times because other people of the same
class and the same means do likewise,
There is universal tendency toward
the equalization of luxury and of the
exterior manifestations of refinement.
Social habits are formed on the models
established by two or three great CEN
ters of civilization, and all the life that
you find elsewhere is a more or less
pale reflection of the real article. With
the increase of the facilities of commu'
nication originality of all kinds de-
creases and the search for local color
becomes more and more hopeless

A Travelling Outfit.

A woman who ought to know de-
clares that the following outfit is all
that is necessary for round-the-w world
tourist of the gentler sex: A light mack
intosh that will stand hot climates; a
dust cloak, atraveling-hood, and plenty
Of wraps Three hats for the steamer
will not be too much, as they soon get
to look shabby and travel-stained. A
soft black silk that will pack into a
small compass, and does not easily
crease, will be useful as change for
dinner, with some silk blouses or
theater-waists to vary it. A neat
tailor-made dress for the voyage, q
jacket and an ulster are needed, and
also two or three cool dresses. Wash
ing silks are more desirable than cotton
or zephyrs, as dampness does not affect
their appearance. Furs are not only
in the way, but boa often proves use
full. For inland, couple of ball
dresses for evening receptions, also one
for fetes and theaters; riding habit, q
stylish silk dress, home-spun and an
embroidered cambria or two. A deal
case lined with tin, to contain the best
dresses; strong box for linen, boots
shoes, books and odds and ends, tive
regulation portmahteaus, one for the
light weight, the other with the heavier
articles of apparel, besides Gladstone

The Long Cloak.

Long cloaks have decidedly won the
battle over the stout opposition that
was shown to them at the beginning Of
the season. A long cloak for winter is
logical necessity. But it is neither
necessary nor logical to wear a hand
some visiting toilette, and have it COM
pletely hidden from view under a long
wrap. To escape from this dilemma
long cloaks are made of various kinds,
There is first the indispensable morn
ing cloak, very simply made of some
substantial wooden. For those who
prefer long wrap for making ceremo-
NOUS calls there are rich wraps of fig
ured velvet or plush with superb passe-
menteries, or of armure silk handsome
ly embroidered. These in a measure
take the place of the dress, and can be
worn over a comparatively ly simple one.
Between these two extremes are long
cloal1s of cloth. made much like dress,
with tight fitting corsage, high collar,
large sleeves with deep cuffs, and a
basque belt of passementerie; these are
worn for informal visits to ones friends
between two and four o'clock, and for
similar occasions. s.-Harper's Bazar.

EMBARRASSING IGNORANCE.
Lack of knowledge in Carving Often
Results in Trouble.


One of the most necessary appurten-
ances of the dinner table is host who
knows how to carve. Is there any
greater annoyance than host who
struggles, crimson with effort, to dis
joint poultry, tearing the frame to
pieces, and spreading bits and frag-
ments all about on the cover? 1t should
be part of every boys education to
learn to carve. We are so busy training
girls for their future positions, which
means not only self-support, or fitting
for it, but also training in the social
graces, and the necessary knowledge of
household economy, that we never think
OF doing more for our boys socially than
sending them to dancing school and
giving them the natural training in the
home; we leave them to acquire any
further knowledge by attrition or alb
sorption.
recent writer to a prominent jour
nal says that he believes the lack of the
knowledge of carving has been the
cause OF more conjugal disputes than
any other one subject. The social train
ing of the wife making her sensitive to
the comfort of her guests, and sensi-
tive to the fitness of things in the
family life, the lack of this very neces-
sary knowledge is constant source of
irritation. There comes to mind no.
BILE gentleman, of Welsh descent. who
never had large income, but who
trained all his sons and daughters to
carve, and when they went into homes
of their own they could serve dinner,
with the aid of one servant, with the
ease and quiet of house with butler
and aids Who of us has not sat at
table, at some time, where the struggle
of the host with the carving suggested
the idea that presently he would ask if
he might remove his coat? 1t is far
better, when the host has not this
knowledge, to have the carving done
outside, in buffers pantry or the kitch-
en-. 1t saves embarrassment, and when
once the servant is trained to serving
from sideboard, the ease and comfort
that follow are ample reward for the
effort expended in teaching her.
Every wife who has been embarrass-
ed by her husbands awkwardness or
ignorance in this important function
should have strong incentive to have
her boys trained to carve fish, flesh OF
fowl" with ease of body and mind

Like the SOOthsayers, He Placed Reliance

The late August Belmont once told a
Gotham writer, ON the Monmouth race

his path that morning. 81 saw the

"and said to myself: If they fly across

l came opposite, the birds few in front
of me, wheeled about and crossed me
again. shall not go to the stables

is of no use trying to win to-day" At
another time he was in radiant spirits
because little bird had flown
into his bathroom and allowed itself to
be fed. 81 shall have good luck" he
exclaimed. "Wait and you shall see"
That day he won three principal races
Indeed, curious phase of his supersti-
tions was that they generally turned
out to be correct When he felt that
he was going to lose he did lose; when
he imagined he would win he did win.
This may be explained by coincidence
or by the fact that his trainer and Jock
eys were shrewd enough to humor his
whims, knowing that he would rather

LOVES COMING.

Love came TO me in life SO late
That Time had closed the outer gate
go late II seemed tho door was barred
Bolts shot, and all the house rough scared
That owned my habitation gave no sign
VI welcome to the god benign,
hor Love with all his power divine
Hnd come so late.
~ seemed that none would ever come
In answer TO his knock, though some
sweet thought stirred restless in my breast
uneasy walked from its long rest
30 strange were such fair visitors that when
Love came and called, and called again,
II was at first In vain, for then
1t seemed so late
No chamber had my soul prepared
Against his coming, none had dared
Foreteil his advent, 1t did seem
More of sweet, unstable dream
Before his summons, clear and sweet, rang out
Waking the drowsy-lidded rout
OF fancies, passion sweet his shout
Seemed oil too late.
No rich feast had been spread for him;
All the guest chamber lights burned dim,
For few had come that way to claim
A resting place-e'en tickle Fame
Had fed long, long before Love came
And yet the close gates opened wide
Az his approach; bolts shot aside;
All the bright soul lights famed and loud
Rang out the welcome OF the crowd.
My souls best minstrelsy did welcome him.
Bright grew my dimmest, darkest dream,
For after all 1t did not seem
Love came too late.
