GINSBERG'S CASE.

1t is Taken Under Amusement by
Judge Cravens.
Sam Ginsberg was tried before Judge
Cravens yesterday for selling lottery
tickets, and the case took up most of the
morning. o. L. Hughes testified to hav-
ing seen the envelope passed to man,
but saw no money paid.
The evidence showed that one Leonard
went into Ginsberg' store about o'clock
in the evening on last Friday, called for a
lottery ticket, and an envelope was
passed to him after he had paid dollar.
At this point Captain Bradley. who. it
seems. had watched the transaction, APP
peared and made an effort to take the
ticket, and struggle ensued, during
which Ginsberg made away with the en-
velope, which was supposed to contain
the ticket, pulled out some Of the officers
whiskers, drew revolver and threatened
Bradley and ordered him out of the store.
The record-union., 1892-08-03

He was placed under arrest, however,
and gave bail.
Leonard testified that he had been asked
by man to purchase the lottery ticket
Leonard was a lively witness, and a
very interesting kind of an Irishman
with considerable rich accent on his
brogue. He was also very positive in his
evidence.
L. L. Enwright testified to hearing
Ginsberg tell Bradleyshe had a right to
protect his property.
Ginsberg also testified, and denied that
he sold Leonard ticket, intimating that
the whole thing was joke that he was
trying to work on the policeman.
Ginsberg was defended by Charles T.
Jones, and after argument by that attor-
ney and City Attorney Hart the case was
submitted.
Judge Cravens reserved his decision to
consider some of the points in the case
and visit and examine the scene of the

The Wrong Place for a Handkerchief

An innovation was exemplified in the
fallacious makeup of two prominent ann
teur actors during performance given last
winter in Brooklyn. 1t consisted of the
regulation swallow tail and trousers-and
a white duck waistcoat, cut somewhat
higher than is the vogue. But the remark
able tangent out of the regulation formula
was the black silk mouchoir worn by both
players, evidently preconcertedly, tucked
into the waistcoat opening, la decollete,
and spread fiat across, obscuring the lower
half of the shirt front.
The idea was palpably at variance with
good form. In the first place, gentleman
will never exhibit with aforethought his
handkerchief, which is strictly an appur
tenance of use, for an adventitious purpose
of decoration, out Of the pale of its mean,
ing or purpose. It is now deemed one OF
the solecisms of dress to have the ends o.,
the handkerchief discovered flowing out OF
the sack coat pocket, and how some of the
swells reconcile the introduction of the
breast pocket for handkerchief In their
dress suits is beyond fathoming
The effeminizing full dress waistcoat
porous plaster arrangement adopted by
these Brooklyn "would bes" was, of course,
to be deplored on general principles; but
why was black silk handkerchief choseni

A Holiday for the Housewife.

Does any one, except, perhaps, the house

multiplying for teachers, preachers mer-

day, the great day when even the OK and
the ass are to do no work, the woman OF
the house IS expected to prepare better
and more elaborate dinner for her lord and
master, to keep the baby more quiet, and
to see that the children are not noisy that
the husband be not disturbed.
Besides this there is demand already
conceded in some cities for Saturday half
holiday and a very general demand for
eight hours work instead of ten, all of
which releases not the wife and mother
from the ceaseless round of care that makes
her older at forty than her husband is at
sixty. Why do not the housewives com
bine, form union, and strike to be taken
out to dinner on every holiday when the
man does not labor? Suppose she let the
ire 60 out in her range when he locked his
office, and they both went out to meal,
perhaps more simple and less perfectly
cooked than she might prepare it, Sup
pose she loosed the leash of worry and
smoothed the care lines out of her face once
a week, would he not be the gamer as well
rs she?-New York Sun.

Shortly after the attempt to blow up
Russell Sage, well dressed man, with

turned pale and stared at the stranger.
A porter slid quietly to the door to get a

cried. Cant get a quarter " a mil.

"Pray, sir, don't get excited" said a
clerk, patting the man on the arm; "the
porter has just gone after it. We can't

know"
The stranger looked thoughtful mo-
ment, then laughed, and the laugh gave
the clerks another unpleasant shock.
"Hal hal" said the stranger; 81 see. J

their self possession. 81 beg your par
