A Peculiar Commission,

One Of our Springfield artists, whose
reputation for lifelike portraits is estab-
lished, had an old lady walk into his
studio the other morning with a queer
commission. She was a quaint, odd
figure, clad in an old style bombazine
with a few struggling trimmings of rusty
Grape, and she evidently was not familiar
with city life. "Please, sir" she burst
out when the artist had kindly asked her
to be seated, I'D like to have ye fix up
a life size picter O my Josiah, jest as
soon's We can. He died two years ago
come Thanksgivin, an I've been savin up
for his picter ever since. | guess you
can do it; he never had no picter done
but this one," drawing out a blurred
daguerreotype of a plump faced five
year-old boy in petticoat and p%antalets.
"Josiah wuz forty-fve when he died, an
big an strong an handsome's a pioter,
with a long, black beard. l don't know
if it'll be kinder easy to make it look
real like him from this, but they say
you're a master hand at the picter biz
ness an l guess it'll suit."-Springfeld

They Trusted in the Lord.

The two gangs Of negroes from the
southwest who have been stranded in
this city within the past few days have
displayed traits that are pleasing, and
that have stirred up popular sympathy
for them. Though they found, when
they got here, that they could not get to
Liberia, in Africa, by a ferryboat or a
horse car for ten cents, though they
and their pickaninnies were hungry,
homeless and helpless in a strange city;
though they did not know what to do OF
where to look for anything, it is inter.
esting to learn that they did not whine
or howl, or threaten to raise a rumpus,
or to play havoc with most things, OF
ever to let loose the dogs of war.
They stood out near the dock in the
cold patiently; they held dialogue about
the unknown; they were overjoyed when
a policeman gave them advice; they
blessed the good Lord when they got
shinbone soup for nothing; they grew
merry and sang the old melodies of the
plantation when they were offered a free
place to sleep in, and they laughed,
prayed, grew humorous and exhorted
each other because things were going
quite tolerable in a country for which
they started out on their way to the
happy land of Liberia.
All of which is somewhat refreshing
as things go in this world.-New York

Ages of Wrecked Vessels.

The number of wrecks is proportion
ately larger for new vessels than for
those that have reached the average
age of service. OF the 662 casualties on
Il Atlantic and gulf coasts during the
year ending Jan. 80, 1880, lis happened
to vessels between the ages of 3 and Z
years, 1913 to those between Z and Il
years of age and 121 to those between Il
and 20 years. The greatest loss for Eng
land is between the 2lst and 30th years
of the ships age-3,41s being lost then
as compared to 1902 between the 31st
and 10th years; 2,747 were lost between
the 18th an Goth years as compared to
3,141 between the Sd and eth years.

The Editor Won.

In the queens bench, London, Mr.. st.
John Bremen, editor of the society jour
nal P~iccadilly, brought an action against
the proprietor, Mr.. Gilbert Smith, for
wrongful dismissal without notice. De-
PENDANT claimed that he had a right to
dismiss the plaintiff without notice, and
further justified himself because Mr..
Bremon had adversely criticisedthe con-
duct of the Prince of Wales in the bac-
carat case, and advocated a conservative
measure of home rule contrary to in
structions. The jury returned a verdict
for the plaintiff. Damages, e4O0.-Dun-

The R1nnhArd

You may expect the bluebird any
time after the sun passes the winter
solstice. In his musical engagements
it is not a matter of dates, but oppor-
tunity. 1t is never a matter of importu-
nifty. Who ever heard a bluebird's song
out of season? 1t may be cold and
snowy tomorrow, but his wings tremble
In the ecstacy Of the present,
and he sings of the bit Of spring that
now is. When the storm comes then he
is silent. He may fee before its breath,
or, if it is late in the season, he will fold
his wing, unstring his lutte and uncom-
plainingly wait till the vernal SUD and
wind shall come again. But let the
merest slit of sunlight cash the cloud,
and he MARBLES forth his greetings. He
has been accused of trying to force the
season. But it is not that. He is such
a lover Of the very promises of nature
that he Is as happy in hope as fruition.
found a group shivering against a
March snowstorm, late, as the sun was
sinking, and stopped to watch them,
plying their distress. Suddenly there
was some cOmmotion, which attributed
to my presence and scrutiny-a low O
versational chatter, a quivering Of
wings, a few fitting changes of position
and then a gurgle of spring melody
among the snowdrops. Astonished, |
turned to where the sun should be, and
there on the horizons rim its half disk
was burning like a beacon. Two min
utes later it was out of sight, the air
was gloomy, the snow fell on, but the
morrow was a bluebird day indeed.-St.

Some Sick Odors.

In cholera the odor of the skin is am
moniacal; it is acid in what is called
milk fever; sweet in the onset period of
the plague, or ~honeylike, according to
Doppner, who observed the plague at
Vetlanka; acetoformic in rheumatism,
particularly in the region of the en-
gorged articulations; of new plucked
feathers in measles; of new baked bread
in scarletina; in smallpox the odor is
that of the fallow deer; in typhoid fever
it is that of blood.-Doctor.

The Bloodhounds of "Uncle Toms Cabin

have heard it said that Mrs. Stowe,
in her Uncle Toms Cabin" did much
toward bringing upon the bloodhound
his disrepute. To see if this were so |
read over Mrs. Stoves book recently
and was surprised to find that she only
Once alluded to bloodhounds in all her
highly colored narrative, and never a
single time brought them on the scene.
She had other objects in view without
going out of her way to malign a family
of dogs. But those who dramatized
Mrs. Stoves story used the bloodhound
with great realistic effect, and zone of
the wandering troops which have played
this drama has been SO poor that it has
not had a pack of dogs. But l have
never known a troop to have a pack Of
real bloodhounds. Instead they have
mongrels of various kinds, but always
mongrels that looked savage and blood
thirsty. The bloodhound is not only not
savage, but does not look SO. On the
contrary, he is amiable in disposition
and has a singularly digaiied and be-
nevolent expression.-Christia Union.

J. M. MAuPIN ON TRIAL.
Charged With Disappointing
r. E. NoIley's Money.

a very interesting and important case
occupied the entire day in the Hastings
Court yesterday. The defendant is j.
M. Maupin, a real estate agent of this
city, charged with mlsappropriating
sooo belonging to R. E. Motley, of Rich
mond. The facts are about as follows:
During the real estate boom in 1890
Motley had CORRESPONDENCE with Maupin
concerning an investment in real estate
In Roanoke. Maupin encouraged the in
vestment and Motley sent $500 to
Maupln to invest for him, entrusting it
to the agents Judgment.
Maupin bought lot which was a
part or the Gish tract, but represented
on tne CITY map as belonging to the
Lewis tract. The lot was purchased at
that the title was not good. Maupin
transferred the lot by decd to his clerk
Mr.. Tilman, and then invested tho
money received from Motley in this lot
valuing it at 81 500.
1t has since appeared that the title
was not good, and the COLI monwealth is
trying to prove that Maupin know this
and for this reason invested the money
received from Motley in the lot, think
ing thereby to save himself and let the
burden fall on Motley. Several real cs-
tate men were examined, who testified
that it was generally known at the
Time that the title was not good.
MIR. Hardaway is counsel for the de.
Tense, and +. Locket is aiding in the
prosecution. The case was not finished
yesterday and will be taken up again
this morning.

The CHARGES NOT SUSTAINED.
Mr. Laskey Dismissed by Judge
Williams
The Commonwealth Fails to Make Out
Case OF House Burning Against the
Accused-A Lame Prosecution-The
Witnesses Who Saw the Safe Opened
Not Required to Testify.

The attempt of the commonwealth
yesterday to provo that HI. B. Laskey
set fire to his jewelry store proved
dismal failure. The investigation was
conducted by Justice Williams, and
in the sbsence of Commonwealth's At.
torney Smith, who was detained in the
Husting Court, Captain Wright appeared
for the prosecution. Mr.. Laskey was
represented by Colonel Penn.
The prosecution introduced largo
number of witnesses. who proved moth
ing that has not already been published
with one exception.
step. FRANKLIN, plasterer, was the
man who discovered the fro. and he
swore positively that when he looked
into the store he distinctly saw man
in there who ran out tho back wav as
soon as he saw Fanklin at the door. He
did not recognize the man, bus was
quito positive that he saw him.
N. Z. Arthur testified that he passed
the store few moments before the
alarm was turned in, and saw two men
standing in the door. One of them was
very short and wore q light overcoat,
while the other one was quito tall and
had no overcoct. Ho could not recor.
nl2e eltner man.
MIR. Hawkins, who works for j. f.
Wingheld. the insurance agent, testified
in regard to Laskey's insurance. The
first one was written some time last
September and was for 81. OF this
amount $500 was on the fixtures and
$1,000 on the stock Mr.. Hawkins asked
Mr. Laskey several times for this in
surance. The other policies were
written after this date and were taken
by Mr.. Laskey because he intended Co
to leave the city and when he came
back he did not intend to sleep in tho
store as formerly.
The defense introduced number OF
witnesses who testified to the fact that
Mr.. IIaslley was at homo from nine
o'clock in the evening until awakened
by TIMES reporter some time after
the fire.
Tho prosecution attempted to show
that Mr.. Laskey set the building on
lire with an intent to defraud the in
surance companies. The witnesses ali
said that the stock in the store was very
small at the time of the fire. but none
of them knew what was in tho safe.
Strange to say neither Mr.. Buckner nor
MIR. Smith, who wero present when Mr.,
Laskey opened his safe, were present to
testify as to what the safe contained.
Justice Williams said that Mr..
LnskeY had not, in anyway, beea con-
nected with tho burning OF the store by
the evidence introduced, and therefore
dismissed him. In doing so, he said
that il any now evidence should be dis
covered, Mr.. Laskey could still be-
brought to Srial.

LAYTON THE WINNER
In a Lively Wrestling Match
With Professor Mann.

The wrestling match between Prof.
Thos. Mann, of Philadelphia, and Prof.
w. S. Layton, of this city, for $50 q side,
at the Club saloon last night, was wit
messed by over 800 spectators. The
gymna SUM was very tastefully decor
ated with flags and bunting.
The piano was presided over by Mr..
James Avis, who also favored the audi
ence with several songs. John Howard,
OF Philadelphia, acted as referee, while
Tom Brennan held the watch. Profess
sor Layton announced that the match
was to be catch as catch can, best two
falls in three. To constitute a fall
both shoulders and one hip must be on
the floor.
The first bout lasted minutes. Both
men seemed to be evenly matched and
displayed great science. AT one time
Layton seemed to have thrown his
man, but the referee would not allow
the claim. Each bout was to last 10
minutes, and this time was nearly up
when Prof. Mann secured an advan-
tageous hold and suddenly had his OPP
ponent laying fat on his back. He was
given the fall.
After an intermission of ten minutes
the mon again appeared on the stage
for the second bout. This was short
and sweet, lasting only three minutes.
During this short time, however, some
very fine work was done, Prof. Lay ton
throwing Prof. Mann over his shoulder
at one time. Mann tried hard to re-
cover from this fall, but before he
could do so Layton had him down and
was awarded the fall
Between the second and third bout
boxing exhibition was given by Joe
Neary and Tom Fruin. The match only
lasted two rounds, but it was very lively
and aroused the audience to a high
degree Of enthusiasm.
The third and last bout was marked
by some very good work. First Mann
would have the advantage and then
Layton would seem to be sure winner.
After Z minutes struggle Layton,
who was under Mann, informed him
that he was gone and slowly but surely
forced him on his back, winning the
contest.
Tho exhibition wound up with four
round boxing match between two col.
lOred men.
