Little Girl Saw That Night.

Three witnesses for the prosecution tes-
titled in the Curtis murder trial yesterday,
after which Judge Trout adjourned the
proceedings until Monday morning at 10
o'clock. In doing so he stated that he had
to sit in the Sidney Bell case with Judge
Murphy to-day.
So great was the pressure to get into the
courtroom OF Department of the Su-
perlor Court yesterday that the doors were
locked as soon as all who could secure seats
were accommodated. The ladies, as usual,
adorned the front row of seats.
The defendants wife was not present dur

She occupied her usual seat, however, later

a colored picnic excursion boarded a
train on the East Tennessee, Virginia
and Georgia railroad on Sunday.
The chattering, perspiring, gayly dress
ed picnickers crowded the seats and aisles
of the smoker and first class cars and the
overflow even flooded the parlor car de-
spite protest The cla1nor and babel in
cident to such affairs rose above the
chatter of car wheels and made ordinary
railroad conversation impossible. But
at stoppase st one of the little railway
stations there was lull A poorly clad
old negro of solemn visage came up to a
car window and said to an elderly col
ored passenger:
isis Sue, rs 'stonished to see you hyar
gwine off picnicin' Sunday when yo'
cousins baby's bein' buried dis hyar
very day"

hear de baby was dead, but den / didn't

but dere war some dinalemeet cartridges
roun' de house, and dey s'pose de chile
bit off de de cen O. one of the cartridges;

There was moan of sympathy from
the carload of listeners, and when the
train moved on a hush Of horror held the
picnickers silent almost to the next sta

why MIR. woodhead was Absent.

There was once a Mr.. Woodhead who
got into parliament in 1886 for the Spen
valley division of Yorkshire. Mr.. La
bouchere moved to abolish the house of
lords, and Mr.. Woodhead was absent
from the division. Spen valley demand
ed an explanation from their Grant
member, and got it in the form of let
ter setting forth that it was all Mr.. La
bouchere's fault, who spoke so fiippantly
on this important occasion that Mr..
Woodhead, exhausted with long days
work, seized the opportunity to go home
to his tea, and when he returned the di-
vision was over. Owing to the amusing
character of this explanation, coupled
with the honorable gentleman's unfortu-
nate name, this incident attracted good
deal of notice at the time.-London Cor

Effective Use of the Sign Language In
Sentencing Prisoner.
Once upon time, says George r.
B. Hayes, there was a judge named
Redman, who presided over big terri
tory which kept him racing from Santa
Cruz to Salinas and San Luis Obispo.
The Spanish population was the chief
race to be found in that district, and
Redman knew but two words in the
language, which were No tiende,' and
was put to the necessity of employing a
court interpreter, who attended him in
his rapid tour of the big circuit.
1t happened that a murderer was to
be sentenced in Monterey and that an
important trial must be attended miles
away on the same day Redman's in
terpreter had gone off to fandango in
the wilds somewhere and couldn't be
found when court was opened, and Bed
man was in a fury of impotence. AT
last, when he could endure the delay no
longer, he said to the man below in the
dock:

"You don't savoy, do your" exclaimed
the judge sharply. well, do you I'M

The poor prisoner shook his head in

lis there anybody present in this court
who can translate that awful sentence
to this prisoner demanded the judge of
the half dozen of officials and specta-
tors in the room. They were all in the
same boat as the prisoner and could only
shake their heads mournfully.
"Well, exclaimed the judge, bright
thought striking him, "Ill just show
you, then, this way!' whereupon he UNI
reeled a yard of red tape that lay on
the desk, and twisting it hurriedly about
his own neck held the two ends high
over his left ear, at the same time rolling
his eyes and wagging his tongue down
against his chin.
A dreadful groan went up from the
prisoner and from the others in the court
room. They understood the grim ju-
dicial kindergarten comprehension

Words to a Patient wife.

Dear Heart, do you suppose we Of the
family think more of clean windows
than we do of your bright, CHEEKY face?
Yet you wear out all your cheer rubbing
at those windows till your face is CHASTITY
tired. You sweep the floors till every
stray straw is frightened out; but your
sweet eyes are full of beams-whole tim
bers of anxiety, depression and gloom.
What do we care-we, the rest of the
family-that every cobweb is broomed
down from the corners, if cobwebs Of
gloom festoon your lovely face, mother,
because you are so completely tired out?
You fix the children up in ribbons and
silks; but where are yours, my wife?
When first went accounting you, sweet
heart, long ago, there was not prettier
girl in this old village. Do you think
have forgotten it?
How you used to gracefully adorn
yourself, you most charming beauty,
who could have gone unadorned then?
Yet you knew the feminine art of beau
ty. Your hair was knotted; your gown
was fastened at the throat; your hounce
and skirt were tricked out with such
pretty gewgaws as stole my heart away
Perhaps you thought did not notice all
this. Perhaps | was not myself conscious
that / noticed them. But, Dear Heart
now that do not see them any more,
notice their lack. tpains me. Not that
my love is tied and pinned to you by any
such trihes, for you are more tAan life to
me. Yet such things were not trifes -

Columbia Colleges President.

Seth Low is putting new life into the
venerable machinery of Columbia col
lege. He has no respect for an old rule
that does not reasonably provide for
a new contingency. For instance, a
young man not overburdened with
wealth entered the law school, paying
what was for him quite fee. After at
tending two or three lectures business
exigencies forbade his continuance at
study. He applied to the treasurer for
a rebate on his cash payment, only to
meet with delay and hear a rule re-
cited against such demand. Then he
dropped President Low line. Within
four hours the postoffice brought court
eous reply and a check. -Chatter.

A railroad man who is an agent for an
eastern road doing business with all the
western, southwestern and northwestern
trunk lines says that 70 per cent. of the
emigrant travel goes to the northwest.
About month from now the bulk of
this business will have been done for the
calendar year. From that time until
next spring the travel will be chiefly for
business or pleasure. This same OBJ
server estimates that Of the citizens of
the United States fully 60 per cent. Of
those moving from their old eastern
homes go to the new northwest in prefer
ence to the middle and southwest. In
general the southwest seems to be pre-
ferred to the middle west. The migra-
ton to the southwest and the south is
more largely from the central western
states than from the east and New Eng
land.-New York Sun.

A Young Dromedarv.

A female dromedary was born in Capt.
Cassells stable Wednesday evening,
about fifteen minutes before z o'clock.
The proud mother is Druid The little
lady stands about three feet high and
has slender body, but very long legs,
This is the fourth dromedary born at the
park. The first, Horace, died in infancy.
His hide, hump and all, Capt. Cassell
has mounted. 1t is now in the captains
parlor. The second, Kate, was sold to
the circus with the grandmother of the
baby just arrived. The third, another
Horace, still lives. He, with Druid and
the baby, compose the drove now at the

"old niII." That's All.

A familiar figure to all who have bust
ness about Park row is "Old Bill" the
spectacle vendor. Day after day for the
past twenty years or more this unique
figure has arrived in front of No. 81 at
an early hour in the morning and an
folded little campstool sort of contri-
vance, on which he places a small tray
containing a few Of the cheaper variety
of eyeglasses. After this he lights his
pipe and awaits the occasional customer.
In winter Bills tall, spare figure is
hidden in a heavy overcoat buttoned to
the chin, his thin face peeping out from
huge cap with large sides that fold
down over his ears. When the first days
of summer approach the heavy trap
pings are cast aside and the purveyor of
"eye windows" appears Respondent in
straw hat. light trousers and clean linen
buster.
All inquiries as to the surname Of this
odd figure fail to elicit anything salts
factory, and his cognomen of "Old Bill
is all that can be gathered. OF course
he is reported to be wealthy-all such
unique characters always are.-
