KISSING NO CRIME.
Especially If the Kissee Is tn,

Especially if the Kissee Is the
Wife of the kisser.
BOSTON, Mass, May .23.-Mr. Noyes,
a young business man here, has solved
the problem whether it is crime for a
man to kiss his wife on the streets of
Boston. This solution, however, caused
him a session in the municipal court
yesterday, and vast deal of annoyance
besides. Mr.. and Mrs. Noyes. it seems,
made call Thursday evening upon
some friends who live at the south
end, and on their return home
they were obliged to wait for
a horse car. Taking advantage of
the kindly shadow of build
ing Nh. Noyes proceeded to kiss his
wire. A passing policeman observed
the act. and the result was the arrest of
Mr.. and Mrs. Noyes. The policeman
declared that he regarded such an act as
proof that they were intoxicated, and
he was justified in their arrest. r. A.
FELTON,. a college chum of MIR. Noyes',
who presented their case. declared the
arrest an outrage. Said he: ''ls it
crime for man to kiss his wife on the
street? If people are to be arrested on
such trivial matters as this it won't be
safe for man and woman to walk to-
gether." Judge Burke, however, said
that he did not think the arrest an out
rage, as the fact of their kissing each
other on the street was certainly an un-
usual action, but he would say that it
was not crime to kiss ones wife on
the streets of Boston.

THE SHOE FAILURES.
Banks Said to Have Been Caught
in the Wreck,

Boston, May 23.-Potter, White &
Bailey, which firm has been prominent
in the public prints as a creditor of
the Hill Shoe company, of Memphis,
for a large amount, publish a card
to-day in which they say in part:
1--WE have security that we have held
for long time, and that we consider
unassailabIe, and in any event our net
loss cannot be more than $4,000 or
$40, 900, and will not impair our ability
to meet every obligation" The firm
will shortly publish statement of as
sets and liabilities. A gentleman, in
innate with the affairs of Salem
banks, states that he knows
that the four banks of that city
interested IN the Davis failure
held $40, 900 of Davis Shoe company,
and Davis indOrSed notes, and that one
bank alone has 100000. The latter has,
however, a 100000 surplus. He states
also that the Lynn banks have $4,000.
Two of the Salem banks have made a
business of dealing in Davis paper, and
they hold notes of the'H company, of
Memphis, with Davis indorsem ents.
LYNN, Mass, May 23.-Hon. Joseph
Davis states positively that the Davis
Shoe company never owed the Hill
Shoe company, of Memphis. one dollar.
On the contrary. the Memphis company
owe the Davis Shoe company heavily.
Mr.. Davis further states he and the
Davis company recently found them
selves obliged to cease helping the Mem
phiS concern financially, and then came
the inevitable-the failure Of the Hill
company.

Massachusetts Banks Caught
in the Recent Shoe Fail
upeS.

PHILADELPHIA, May 23.-The affairs
OF City Treasurer John Bardsley were
brought to crisis by his arrest tonight
at his home, corner Penn and Price
streets, Germantown. He is sick in
bed, and two detectives are guarding
the room in which he lies. The three
expert accountants appointed by Mayor
Stuart to examine Mr.. Bardsley's ac-
counts discovered discrepancy of S39,-
600 shortly before noon to-day. He
will be given hearing before Magis-
trate Pole Monday, when the story
of his shortage in detail will be
told. 1t is said tonight that the dis
crepancy discovered is in the treasurer's
account with the Third National bank,
where the city's deposit amounts to
S350,000. Within month Mr.. Beardsley
is said to have drawn $4,000 from the
bank and appropriated it to his own
use. The experts have been engaged
IN their work for three days, and this is
the first discrepancy discovered.
Other Shortages
may be brought to light IN the further
comparison of the accounts with the
many banks in which city funds are de-
posted, The discovery was made to-
day that Mr.. Bardsley's personal depos-
it with the suspended Keystone bank
amounted to S6C6,000. 1t is said that the
state cannot lose more than S25O,OO0 by
reason of Mr.. Beardsley's shortcomings.
Bank Examiner Drew has made a very
singular statement in an interview yes
terday, in reference to the $3.50, 900
which Treasurer Beardsley says
he. placed on deposit in the
defunct Keystone bank. He expressed
a doubt that the sum was as large as
stated, and declared that there was no
evidence that it was. He further init
mated that he knew the amount, but as
the city comptroller had lot given him
permission to state it to the councils
committee. he did not feel at liberty to
inform the newspapers. From the
drift of his answers to questions,
the inference is broad that
the examiner knew the actual
amount os state money on deposit was
far less than given in Beardsley's state
ment. Mr.. Drew also expressed TIE
belief that the due bills now held by Mr..
Beardsley are hardly of any value. The
state. he said, was neither a preferred
nor deferred creditor, all depositors
under the national banking law taking
equal chances.

one it owed. 1t is said that preferences
will be given as follows: Jonathan
Steward, ,S1i0, 600; Thomas A. Bell $50, 600;
Philip p. Dunn, $4,000; William J..

the Itata when sighted was about sixty
five miles from there. The CoIma re-

ST. JOHNS SAY.
The Prohibition Star Gives His
Opinion of the New Party.

y
ST. LOUIS, May 29.-Ex Gov. John P.
st. John, of Kansas, the well-known
apostle of prohibition, is in the city. In
reference to the Cincinnati third
party convention, the governor said {:
Il was there as a looker-on, and |
watched the proceedings closely. l
must say that, as reform conuention, it
was the biggest failure | ever saw All
meritorious reforms we're neglected,
and the only thing that distinguished it
from the Old party conventions
was the visionary subtreasury
scheme, which has no founda-
ton either in justice OF common sense.
1t would be the worst species of class
legislation. 1t would afford no relief
whatever to the very poor, the class
that need relief most. The idea of
making the government a public pawn
broker is idiocy. Such a scheme would
bankrupt any government. As far as the
rejection of prohibition is concerned,
/ have this to say: mo other party
convention was ever more subseryient
to the liquor interests than the one
which just met at Cincinnati, under the
guise of reform. The failure to express
sympathy for the cause of temperance
will drive thousands into the Prohibit
tian ranks. 1t is simply the birth OF a
third whisky party"

THE RIGHT TO VOTE.
A Presbyterian Minister Rebels at
Its Inhibition.


PITTsBURG, Pa, May 23.-Rey. j. K.
McClurkin. of the Reformed Presby-
terlan Theological Seminary of Alle-
cheney. has made public an an
nouncement Of his intention to
resign the chair of theolo-
gy and history in the in
stitution. at the coming meeting Of the
synod in this city, May 27. The reason
given for thus abandoning his church
and place is that seven young reformed
Presbyterian ministers bad been sus-
pended from the church for voting at
political election, and that they
would probably be expelled from
the synod In his reSigna-
tion, Rev. McClurkin says: 'My ac-
uion is tire outgrowth of a candid
thoughtful investigation of the attitude
of the church toward the government
of our country, and of the illusiye dis
tinctions Dy which this attitude has of
late been advocated. After search
the United States, after study
ing her Christian laws, re-
ligious customs and supreme court in
etations-realiZing too, that the
ballot box is the place where Christian
convictions must be expressed, if right
eous laws are to send their life-giying
influences throughout our republic-I
have been forced to the conclu-
sion that the individual con-
science of the American citizen
should be allowed to decide as to the
duty of casting ballot for the righteous
ruler" The probabilities are that Rev.
McClurkin will leave the Reformed
Presbyterian church and 90 over to the
United Presbyterian side. The split,

THE DETECTIVE RACKET.
1t Worked in Fine Style Down in

DEs MONIES, To-. May 23.-The fed
eral grand jury has returned indict-
ments against J. J. Kellogg, E. r.
Hodges and S. J. Kellogg, of Washing
ton, To-, for using the mails for fraud
ulent purposes. For over year these
parties have inserted an advertisement
in at least one paper in every prominent
city in the United States, substantially
as follows:
n DETECTIVES-Brigh young men in
II every locality to act as private detectives;
send stamp for full particulars. Address
Washington Detective Agency.
1t was their plan to secure young men
to act as detectives, charging them SO
for certificate stating that they were
members of the Washington detective
agency, and with their certificates went
a nickel-plated star worth probably 30
cents. Evidence was brought before
the grand jury showing that the con-
Germ had taken in as high as S400 in
one day from young men anxious to
gain fame as detectives.
