Speech from the Bench in Which Bus

An "Implied Contract" Between the Gamblers
and City Authorities-Howe and
His Men Acquitted.

The case of ''Tobep Howe and the men
arrested at his rooms Wednesday was
called for trial before Judge Buskirk yes
terday, and the officers introduced testi-
mony to the effect that Howe was a gam
bier anc that he had run those rooms for q
number of years. but not that there had
been any playing at the time of the raid,
or, in fact. since the order to close. Judge
Buskirk. with q tlnge of iciness IN his voice,
asked Superintendent Colbert if that
was the end of his case, and if be
thought he had made one out. The
Superintendent replied that no did
not believe that he had. Then the Judge
got up and spoke In words that will doubt
less rankle for so me time to come. He said:
These men were ordered to close their
place. and, from the evidence. they did 30.
The city authorities told them that if they
would CLOSE up they would be unmolested

These words were construed into q direct
slap at the municipal authorities, and are
another explanation of that famous clause
in the Judges acceptance speech in the
convention that nominated him, when he
said: II will administer justice tempered
with mercy"
1t is asserted that the reason that lobe
Howe is so particularly set on is that q GER
tain influential Democrat wants to see him
broken up, or at least Ousted from his pres
ent quarters. The want" On the part of
this Democrat is said to arise from q rev.
enue reason alone.
One of the men who is employed by Howe
said TO q Journal reporter yesterday that
he thought there was more back of
the fact that Howe was raided than that
the police simply desired to stop gambling.
What it was he declined to state. The re.
porter asked the following question: DO

A Story of Marie Jansen.

This is story they tell of Marie Jan.
sen: Marie is nice, capable little body,
and likes to do her own errands and
execute her own commissions without
asking any one to do them for her. One
day she went into the nearest postal sta,
ton and bought q stamp. Then she
stepped aside to put it on her letter.
A gentleman stood near by watching
her. Suddenly he saw troubled look
come into her eyes. She glanced up and
down to see if any one was near. She
hesitated, glanced again and her lips
seemed to tremble.
''That girl is in DISTRESS" said the man
to himself; "she has written letter and
does not know whether to send it or not.
1t may be a letter to a false lover, OF
perhaps line breaking some poor fel.
lows heart. wonder if word of ad.
vice from me would help her. She looks
as if she wanted to speak to me-"
Delicately approaching Marie the gen
tleman took off his hat, executed deer
and respectful bow and said:
"Can l be of any service to you
madam? You look troubled"

piled the pretty mink. "I-I was just

Agriculture In Russia.

The predominating trait of rulers from
Caesar downward is an invincible hypo.
crisy. People of education and expert
ence are invited to occupy themselves
with agriculture, but they are we'll
aware that no sooner have they arrived
and settled down than they will be un
mercifully expelled again. The Jews
are blamed for avoiding agriculture, and
are accused of not wishing to live by the
sweat of their brow, yet they are forbid
den to colonize without the pale or to
own property.
The Jew might turn on his perse
cutors and say to them: "You condemn
me for not taking kindly to farming
while you yourselves, pharisees that
you are, have reduced your farms to the
last stage of impoverishment. God be
praised, we Jews have had no part in
it; but to envy you or to wish to be il
your position is more than can be ex
pected of us"
All this talk of agriculture is mert
clumsy hypocrisy. The peasants fly
from the land, happy, indeed, to fine
some other occupation. Others are no
permitted to take their place; those VII,
have the right are too ignorant to d
anything, and the result is chaos

Extravaganza of women,s Dress.

Ward McAllister, writing of extrava-
gance in the Four Hundred, says: ''The
winter of 1891 was the most extravagant
era in women's dress that we have ever
known. The waste of money in tea
gowns was unparalleled. Every fash
iouable woman must needs have three
or four. Their cost would buy modest
farm. Their slippers have made the
fortune, we know, of at least one shoe
maker. The buckles to these slippers
alone cost thirty dollars pair. The in
visible of woman's toilet is the most
costly extravaganza. That article of la
dies dress which the Countess of Sails
bury has rendered immortal is q special
extravaganza at the present time, cost
ing, in many cases, $3.50. A lady's opera
cloak now costs her from $500 to $500.
The most expensive luxury is dogs; &C.
complished black poodles cost $500 each,
a japanese pug $300-a fashionable

veil, costing her parents $1,000; her
bridal trousseau, $4,000 to $40, 900, not at
all an unusual price for fashionable
woman to pay. Is it not then surprising
that marriages still continue to take
placer l have only treated of people Of
moderate incomes and the waste they
practice, To leave them and to consider
the waste Of money practiced by the
multimillionaires would be an endless
theme"

IN A RUNAWAY ELEVATOR.
Nine Persons Inside, and the Thin
Racing Up and Down the Shaft.

Nine Persons Inside, and the Thing
Racing Up and Down the Shaft.
Just before noon two of the elevators
In the Commerce building stopped run
ming, the one nearest to the front door
alone remaining in operation. The ele-
vators are worked b. hydraulic power,
and the force required to work them
was thus thrown on one. It was on an
up trip that eight men crowded into the
elevator. Two of them We're Mr.. Tom
Craig and Mr.. Donald Ross. The door
was closed with o bang, and the boy
pulled the lever for the ascent. In q
second the throttle, as it were, was wide
open. The elevator seemed travelling at
the rate of sixty miles an hour, and APP
peared every second to be getting on
more steam.
The elevator boy worked manfully at
the lever and used every means to stop
the 'lift," but the machine refused to
take hold, and the wild career upward
continued. Suddenly the cage stopped
with jolt, and the elevator started
down at the same killing pace it had
been going upward. Down two stories
it dropped, and then as suddenly began
ascending again. By this time all on
board wished they were somewhere else.
They looked wildly out on the polished
floors, where safety was, and for the
first time realized what q prison run
away elevator is.
Though the boy at the lever exhausted
every resource of his art, now resorting
to skill and now to strength, the move.
ments of the elevator became more and
more eccentric.
1t went up twenty feet and fell ten.
The men thought they might have led
better lives.
1t went up thirty feet and fell fifteen.
The elevator boy thought of some mean
things he had done.
1t went up ten feet and fell twenty.
All resolved that if they got out alive
they would walk straight and narrow
paths for the rest of their lives.
1t went up fifteen feet and fell thirty.
and then 1t dashed with deadly speed to.
ward the roof, and all the sins that the
eight Gagged men and the one Gagged boy
had ever done rushed before them like
host Of devils, But it stopped just in
time, and once more reversed brakes.
1t stopped with cruel jolts now and
then, but always between the floors,
leaving those on board still Gagged in by
wire walls. Time and again it seemed
certain that it would halt at one of the
floors. But it did not, and hope died
again.
Finally, after what seemed an eternity
of torture, the elevator did stop two feet
below one of the doors. Mr.. Craig was
closest to the exit, and hastily throwing
back the door he leaped forward and
out. Just as he did so the machine shot
upward, and it was only by hair.
breadth that he escaped being crushed
and almost certainly killed
After his escape the elevator continued
to perform for minute and then once
more became obedient. The seven men
and the boy got out as quickly as posi-
BILE. All were very thankful. The ele-
vator was examined and found to be in
good working order. The elevator boy
got on board and tried it for floor or
two, and returning pronounced every
thing all right. The elevator never did
this before.-Louisville Courier-J Journal.

What the Preacher Learned.

A celebrated preacher, when speaking
to some 5000 children, after delighting
them with a variety of stories, thought
1t might be well to point the moral of
one of them. He had hardly, however,
begun to say, "Now this teaches" when
little ragamuffin on the front bench
cried out: Never mind what it teaches.
Gie's another story" II learned from
that rascal" he said, ito wrap the moral
well in the heart of the story, not to put
it as sting into the tail. London Tit

Hutton,s Collection of Death Masks.

The earliest death masks in my collec.

the first part of the Fourteenth century,
and of Tasso, certainly made at the end
of the Sixteenth. The latest mask is that
of Lawrence Barrett. They range from
Sir Isaac Newton, the wisest of men, to
Sambo, the lowest type Of American ne

to Thomas Chalmers, the light Of the

to Thomas Paine; from Keats to Rober,
