A Lawyers Stratagem.

A Well-known Kansas citizen
tells this story:
Fifteen years ago Judge Nc,
Sweeney was a famous criminal
lawyer of Southern Michigan. He
was called upon to defend a young
woman from the charge Of having
poisoned her old husband. It vas
a question Of whether Or not she
had placed poison in a cake of which
the old man had eaten. A portion
Of the cake had beeen analysed by
q chemist and found to contain a
great deal of deadly poison. The
chemist testified to this in court.
Other witnesses succeeded in max
ing chain Of damning evidence
against the pretty young widow.
The time came for the summing
up speeches Of the attorneys. The
prosecution began and finished and
all looked hopeless for the prisoner
at the bar. Judge MaSweeuy, thu
only speaker for Tie defence, arose
amid breathIess silence. The room
was crowded All III were listening

The Herald says: there is no
:scare' anywhere, and in Wall street
which is the most sensitive test,
there has been a decided improve
mrnt in the values ofrailroad stocks
and bonds since the terms
of the proposed new law
were made known. True, there has
been howl from the Sugar Trust
and the price OF its certificates has
been marked down, and a variation
of a few points in these volatile
speculative counters is matter Of
daily occurrence when there is no
tariff discussions. The people have
known for a year that the tariff
was to be revised. They elected
the present national administra-
ton for the purpose Of doing that
very work, and the changes propos-
ed are scarcely as sharp and radical
as many people expected.

MACON MYSTIFIED

Macon, Ga, December 1.-(Spec-
ial. Macon experienced sensa-
ton this morning that has thrown
the whole city into a fever Of en-
element.
1t was certainly strange mystery
that this city had to think over for
a long time and surpass all under
standing Or explanation.
1t is not exactly ghost story,
but by those inclined to be supersti
tious the spirit of some departed cit
zen is charged with responsibility
for the mystery.
This morning about nine o'clock
Mr.. Will Erwin of the Georgia Mu-
sic house, with several employees Of
tie store was in the tuning room
in the rear engaged in tuning sew
eral instruments, when their atten-
ton was attracted by "a peppering
noise Of something falling on the
floor like rain pattering on a roof.
The men all stopped and began to
investigate. The result of the in
vestigation soon had the hair of ev-
cry man present standing porcupine
fashion, and their face covered with
a thousand little bumps raised by
sheer fright.
It was raining shot. A sterdy
shower Of No. 6 bird shot was rain
ing from toward the ceiling all
over the room.
The shot came peppering down
thick and fast, from whence no one
could tell, and ratified on the expos
ed string boards of the open plan
oS and stiff hats making q noise that
tended, under the circumstances, to
further increase the fears Of the
frightened men.
The most thorough investigation
revealed the fact that there was no.
one upstairs and the upper floor
was swept clean of everything. The
ceiling is sound and tongued and
gro owed so as to render it even wa
ter and air proof.
Several well-known people were
telephoned and called from the
street to witness the strange phe-
nomenon. All were mystified be-
yond expression.
For more than two hours the
shot shower continued undated.
During that time a large numbe
Of people, who had heard the strange
story, visited the scene. The YER
dict of all was the same, that is was
the strangest mystery in the histo-
ry of Macon and surpassed all un-
derstanding and explanation.
AS soon as the afternoon paper
came out with the story the visitors
to the scene began to INCREASE and
the room is continually full. Sew
eral people have gathered up hands
full Of the shot and taken them
home. Atlanta Constitution.

A Point for Business Men.

When tie free silver lunacy was
being harped upon the country
over, it will be remembered that
the business Men Of the country
argued that the men wanted free
silver were ignorant of finantial
n,uStters and that the men who re-
pew from daily study Of the
Er, knew that free silver did
mean free money. The point
was we'll made.
Now We come to the tariff mat
ter. This new bill is the work Of
men who have given years to the
study Of the tariff question. That
has been their business. They
know the resources of the govern
ment. They know what portion; Of
the people are taxed, how they
ar taxed and for whose benefit
they are taxed. Theirs is, then,
expert testimony, just us the bust
ness mans opposition to the free
silver policy was expert opposition.
The manufacturer whose profit is
marked down by the new tariff
measure must bear in mind that
the Dill is for the benefit of the ma
~ and not for his benefit alone.
The men having the matter in
haal have acted as experts. The
N manufacturer must, therefore, nov
practice what he few months ago
preached trust the matter to these

THE PREACHERS.

Resolutions Adopted at Their Monday
Morning Meeting.
The preachers of Los Angeles held
their regular meeting at the Y. M. G. A.
rooms yesterday. Among other things
considered was an appeal on behalf Of
the executive committee OF the Los An
geles Keeley league, presented in ad-
dresses by Thos. s. Barnes, president Of
the league; General B. P. Runkle and
Jas. K. Kennedy. The practical work
in the way OF temperance, which is now
being accomplished all over the world,
through the agency of DR.. Kelley and
his wonderful remedies, was presented
by these gentlemen to the assembled
clergy man. in a very forcible and con-
vincing manner, and asking of the min
listers their moral support in this regard.
The result of all this talk WAS reso-
luton adopted by the meeting on mo-
ton of Rev. DIR. Hutchins, which is as
follows:
Resolved, That we express our SYM
pathy with the objects of the Keeley
league, and will gladly lend it our moral
support and will give the helping hand
to the men who are thereby rescued
from the disease of drink, and that a
committee be appointed to communi-
cate with the executive committee OF
the league concerning the best means
for our cooperation.
The chairman appointed the following
committee as directed by the resolution /:
Rev. DR.. Hutchins, First Congregational
church; Rev. D. R. Colmery, Third
Presbyterian church, and Rev. Will A.
Knighten, Grace M. E. church.

Golden Rod Their Emblem.

A charming woman's rights advocate
at recent Niagara county convention
gave voice to these stirring sentiments
and proclaimed the golden rod as the
emblem Of woman's suffrage:
We welcome you as soldiers In the army for
woman's emancipation. The hour has struck
at last which ushers in the dawn of "Woman's
Age" The bugle sounds from the battlements
of justice and right, summoning US to the field
We are here today for better organization, to
discuss plans which shall qualify woman to be
crowned queen of u free republic that shall
open to her every evocation in life which the
Maker designed her to fill, and to WELD intel
ligently that most potent weapon, q free ballot.
When the shackles of prejudice, welded by
blinded bigotry, shall fall from our hands,
then, and only then, shall many of the evils OF
this world be conquered, many of the crooked
places be made straight, many dirty political
pool be cleansed, for Uncle Sam needs good
housekeeper, and the nation needs mothers
influence.
We have learned to love this flower (the
golden rod because of the honor this nation
has bestowed upon it. Not many months since
it was only an obnoxious weed, growing rank
by the roadside and on barren fields. Its day
came. A great nation has crowned its golden
plume with honor, and we gather it with eager
ness and think of 1t with a patriotism akin to
that which we feel toward the stars and
stripes.
1t stands by the roadside today, still true to
its nature, not crying out to be rose or q lily.
still fulfilling the mission its Creator intended,
a glorifed weed.
Its color is the fitting emblem of our order,
for 1t points to the golden days when women
shall by the sanction Of this great republic be
taken from social, moral and political bondage
and crowned with womanly glory.

A BOLD MASEER.


Ho Appears on the Surface With Plainly
OF Gall.
An ex-county official, who has figured
more or less before the public for several
years past, is apparently making him
self obnoxious to the residents, end to
ladies who happen to pass iu the vicin-
ity of Sixth and Broadway. This man
is fast becoming notorious in the
neighborhood mentioned, as being a
professional masher. His wife obtained
a divorce from him few months ago,
and since then he has devoted most of
his time in insulting unprotected women
who chance to pass in his view. The
writer observed him deliberately insult
unaccompanied women on the street on
several occasions, and his audacity has
become 30 great that business men in
the vicinity have appealed to HERALD
reporter to make their grievance known,
as the fellow has on more than one occa-
sion insulted lady patrons OF their re-
spective establishments. Last, night,
the fellow referred to, grossly insulted
en- unprotected woman. who had to ap-
peal TO bystander for protection.

Mr.. Trask moved to place the petition

Mrs. Hughes said that the recon-

The motion to file was then carried.

On motion Of Mr.. Trssk the ''junket"
demands were taken up.
The demands of G. 7. Pepper and D.
X. Trask we're reapproved over the
auditors refusal to number them.
Mr.. Trask's demand is the one that
does not include the $3.65 he put in his
first demand for railroad fare to San
Bernardino.
Mr.. Stein from the committee on
buildings reported that the lot about
the Seventeenth-stree school had been
filled up. The committee was author
lied to have the lot well filed, the dirt
being purchased, as President Pepper
explained, very cheaply.
A SENSATION CAUSED BY HIGH SCHOOL
CHILDREN.
The teachers committee reported,
recommending that Ben Taylor be rein
stated in the High school. sassa
Mr.. Stein moved that the portion of
the report about Ben Taylor be con-
sidered separately, as he understood it
was case OF fragrant disobedience.
DR.. Wills said it was rather case of
assault. Capt. Tyler, whose son had
been 30 connected with the difficulty,
was man who had held trusted posi-
tions, and it did not at all appear that
the remarks about his son were justified.
The phalanx of students, both boys
and girls, enthusiastically applauded
DR.. Wills.
Mrs. Hughes thought the boy had
been sufficiently punished, and that he
should be reinstated.

Mr.. Platt continued and said he
thought it case of gross disobedience,
and he wanted the teachers and pupils
to understand he was for discipline. He
understood young Tyler declined to
apologize and moved he remain sus-
pended until January 2, 1894.
This called forth loud hsses from the
young people in the galleries.
Captain Tyler asked to be heard.
Mr.. Patty was willing if he confined
himself to facts.
Captain Tyler in response to ques-
tions said that Mr.. Trask had created
somewhat of an erroneous impression in
explaining the occurrence in which Mr..
Oates struck Ben Tyler, his son. He
was allowed to correct some OF Mr..
Trask's statements.
Mr.. Tyler said that he understood
that his son did not Immediately get up

The vote being taken the boy was sus-

of six to three. Messrs. Wells, Patty
and Mrs. Hughes voted in the negative.
As soon as the vote was announced the
boys and girls in the gallery left in a
body amidst great confusion. A perfect
storm of misses was hurled at the school
board, who sat silent beneath the scorn
of the children and did not appear to
relish it any more than they have the
public light let in upon their official
acts.
When order was obtained Mr.. Trask,
in a sorrowful tone of voice and with
long face, commented upon the remark
able exhibition of youthful indignation,
calling it insubordination and insolence.
He seemed to delight in saying that it
was all reflection by the pupils on
their teachers, and did not take it to
himself, and the possible loss of dignity
which has come to the board through
its window shade" and "junketing"
acts.
Mrs. Hughes, however. called atten-
tion to the fact that while she did not
uphold the children in insubordination.
still she could not think that they had
intended to do more than show loyalty
to their fellow student, whom they
thought had been unfairly treated.
Superintendent Brown thought it a
bad case of insubordination, and made
some quite severe remarks about the
action Of the young folks.
On motion of Mr.. Trask, the presi-
dent appointed him. Mr.. Patty and Mr..
olatt to investigate the discipline OF the
high school.

by the board begins November 30th and
