GAVE HIM JUSTICE.
How a Western POLICE Judge Set
tied a Wife Beaten

tied a Wife Beaten.
The Western police justice admitted
that he didn't know much about law,
but he thought he knew as much
about justice as anyone who ever sat
on the supreme bench. So he looked
wise when the big brute was brought
in, and he looked solemn when the
little woman with bandage over one
eye, a cut on her cheek, and big
bruise on her neck, admitted that her
husband did strike her, but said that
he was always good to her when he
was sober, which wasn't often.
But | don't want him fined, Judge"
she said earnestly. "Just make him
promise not to do it again"
The justice looked over some old
law books, hemmed and hawed little,
and then said with all the dignity:
''The court cannot find that the law
adequately provides for cases OF this
description. As my friend Blackstone
once said, there are cases in which the
presiding Judge must lay legal lore
aside and trust to his own discretion
and common sense
The justice left the bench and APP
preached the prisoner.

you were guilty of larceny this court
would fine you $50, but it is the I'M
Outstanding OF the court from the evil
dence that you struck your wife"
The prisoner staggered up against
a table as the Justices fist landed on
his left eye.
IF you were just drunk and disor-
derly," continued the justice, "This
court would send you up for 10 days,
but two witnesses swear that they
saw you strike your wife with your
clinched fist"
The prisoner landed in q heap on
the floor and lay there whining.
"lf you had thrown a rock through
somebody's window" continued the
justice, "this court would make it $40
and costs, but there is incontroverti-
BILE evidence that you kicked your
wife"
The prisoner yelled so that he could
be heard four blocks as the Justice
boot landed on his ribs.
Then the justice assembled the bench

EMMY said:
ut is the finding of this court in full
session assembled, after fully study
ing the law in the case and looking up
the rulings of the supreme court and
the new circuit court OF appeals, that
there is only one way to punish a
wife-beater without furnishing the wife.
The prisoner is discharged. And,
madam" to the wife, "if he ever does
it again bring him here and I'll dis,
charge him again"
Then, as thought flashed across
his mind, he called out:
care there any more wife-beaters in
the prisoners box? I'd like to dis
pose OF all such cases before taking up
the minor crimes ofarson, horse-steal-
ing, highway robbery, etc.

Story of a Young Physician Who
Was a Victim OF Circumstances,

Story of a Young Physician Who
Was Victim of Circumstances.
When the doctors, in jovial mood,
get together they invariably tell stories
if they have any time on their hands.
Half u dozen Rochester physicians
were feeling particularly happy and
exultant a few days ago. They had
passed delightful hour in making an
examination of the body OF man
killed in an accident, and were well
pleased with each other and the gen.
tleman who had furnished them with
their scientific amusement. When
they were through their work they ad-
journed to the office of one of their
number and began telling experiences
and "reminiscences. They told of ex-
citing amputations and exhilarating
operations until it came the turn OF
the oldest man present to speak.
Then such tale was unfolded as
brought tears to the eyes of many
present.

he made a will in which he mentioned

the fellow was young, but so was |,

"Well, gentlemen, within less then a

The orthodox ecclesiastics have met
in Moscow TO discuss the method OF

A clock to be seen at Brussels
comes as near to being perpetual mo-

A shaft exposed to the solar rays

mechanism which raises the weight of

then puts brake on the fan till the

They went first to Canada. After two
or three years the girl sought unsuccess-
fully reconciliation with her parents.
At the same time, Robinson surrepti-
tiously visited and, unknown to them,
secured glimpse of his own family.
The couple then went south, as was de-
termined upon at the start They set
tied in what is now Texas. Robinson
prospered and was elected Heutenant-
governor through the Impeachment of
Governor Smith at the time of the war
over Texas. Robinson was the most
prominent man in he state, and favored
the independence of Texas. He was
captured by Mexicans and terribly
abused, until he promised to use his in
huence to have the etate return to
Mexico. This made him unpopular,
and he went to California to avoid lynch
ing. There he became wealthy and died
in 1868. A son OF the Snyder woman be-
came member of the California legisla-
.ture, but died i n early manhood. The
Snyder woman, who all along had been
supposed to be Robinson's wife, had in
herited all the property, but twenty
years ago sold all the realty, and few
years ago returned to Cincinnati. Mrs.
Whiteworth heard of it two years ago,
hunted her up, and learned her fathers
history, and began the suit which has
ended SO well for her. Miss Snyder is
now 80 years old, but bright as woman

such hatred toward her family for re-
fusing to forgive her that she allows her
only brother to reside in the county poor

A Large Number of Pilgrims Expected

A Large Number of Pilgrims Expected
Very Soon From France.
TREvEs, Oct. 12.-The holy coat exhi-
bition at Treves has not been closed as
a large number of French pilgrims are
expected in a day or two. The number
of pilgrims has been increasing, instead
of diminishing, as the close of the exhi-
bition approaches. The total number
now is about 1000, 900. About dozen
miracles are reported through the touch
ing the holy coat, but the authorities are
careful about indorsing any one. They
propose to content themselves and to
satisfy the faithful by simply publishing
the certificates of attending physicians
as to the condition of the patient before
and after touching the relic. Apart
from these certificates these ecclesiastics
will have nothing to say. The cathedral
has profted greatly by the donations of
pilgrims, and new and splendid shrine
has been prepared as place of deposit
for the holy coat. This shrine has been
made at Stuttgart. The pope's share of
the donations is also very large, although
no public account of the sum has been
made.

HARRISBURG, Penn, Oct. 13.-The
special session of the state senate was
called to order this morning. The gov
ernor's message calling the session was
read. In it he said the session was con-
vened to take action in relation to the
alleged misconduct of the heads of two
departments of the state government,
as well as other elective officers. The
governor reviewed at great length, the
testimony taken by the various commit
tees which have been investigating the
affairs of Bardsley, the Philadelphia
treasurer, who is now in the peniten-
tiary, and severly arraigning Henry
Boyer, state treasurer and Thomas Nc
Canaan, auditor general of the staJe, for
their connection with Bardsley's misdo-
ings. In conclusion the governor said
the responsibility of determining
whether reasonable cause exists for re-
moval, rests with the senate and public.
It was expected it would be met and
discharged without regard to partisan
advantage and to honor the common
wealth.
A committee charged with the investi-
CATION of the department of auditor gen
eral and state treasurer, this morning

Pattison. The committee finds the evil

ground for suspicion as to the personal

Boyer, and that it fails to show any act

part of Auditor General Commant or i'm

either directly or indirectly from Bard

mittee suggested the laws should be
