Held in 81, 600 Bonds "a Detroit to Await
Trial.

DETROIT, Mich, April 1S.-"Prince"
Michael and Lizzie Courts to-day waived
examination upon the charges pre-
ferred against them by one Of their
dupes, Miss Robinson. They were held
in bonds of 81 900 each. AS Mills and
Courts were conducted back to the
Jail, followed by their disciples, the
large crowd surged closely upon them,
pulled their hair and otherwise amused
themselves, but the Prince" got safely
within the jail. 1t came out this morn
ing that an attempt was made Sat-
urday by the Princes attorney to
have Mrs. Mills drop the charge Of
adultery made against her husband.
She was offered 1000 if she would
cease her efforts to prosecute her hus-
band and was also to give up all marital
claims upon his property. Mrs. Mills
refusal knocked the plan in the head.

Do Not TrOt the Baby.

The practice of "trotting'' a baby on
the knee, though it has the sanction of
long practice, has not the sanction of
common sense, and should never be in
dulged Treating the adult body in
ratio of corresponding strength, the
exercise would be equivalent to being
ourselves churned up and down on the
walking beam Of a good-sized steam
engine. It has been very properly
said that "gentle movement is as pleas
ing to the child as driving in an easily
running carriage on smooth road is to
an adult; knee-jolting as unpleasant
and harmful as journey over the worst
corduroy roads. "-Baby.

OF the National Cordage Company we're

before Chancellor McGill, of New

charges against the officers OF
the latter corporation, claiming that
the dividends which have been paid
with clockwork. regularity for over a
year have not been earned; that they
have been declared in order to keep up
the price of the stock, and that state
ments made in the annual report of
February 3, 1892, and sworn to by Pres
