Went to Prison for Another,

Among the convicts pardoned by tho governor under the influence of Chris tian charity was George Beni, Sicilian, who was sent up seven months ago for five years for stealing watch. Angelo Milazzo, another Sicilian and ehum of Beni's, was also suspected, but as it was shown on the trial that Beni had pawned the watch and he refused to implicate Milazzo, he had to pay the penalty. At the time it was whispered among the Italians here that Beni was not guilty of the theft, but had sacrificed himself to save Milazzo, the real criminal, because the latter had helpless family depend ent upon him.
 A month ago Milazzo died, and then the whole truth came out. It appeared that Beni had actually done as reported, and after his friend Angelo was beyond the reach of the law he acknowledged that he was suffering wrongfully. A petition for his pardon was immediately sent the governor, signed by the judge who tried the case, together with tho story of Beni's self sacrifice, and the par don was issued Memphis Cor.

old and youno.

We arc clear that it is by no means the special defect of our time that the old do not enter heartily into the life of the young Comparing the present genera ton with generations past, we should say that one of the most distinctive notes of the present day is the sympathy of the old for the young-a sympathy which the young generally and rather heartily ap- preciate, but which they do not very often reciprocate. Instead of conversing so as to turn ''the back of the conyersa- ton" toward the old, they usually expect and confidently expect that good deal of it's life and interest will be contributed by the old and are rather scandalized if the expectation be disappointed
 In fact they habitually expect the old 10 be juvenile in their interests, and they are very much seldomer disappointed than the young people of forty or fifty years ago, if they had formed tho same expectations (which they certainly did not often dol, would have been. Just as the rich are now habitually expected (and very often justify the expectation to find their deepest interest in alleyiating the condition of the poor, So the old are now habitually expected to find their deepest interest in rendering the pursuits and pleasures of the voting still more attract i've; nor do they very often disappoint ex- pectatiou.

 Edwin H. Thompson, yonng man residing about ten miles from, Rohdout, N. r., married an attractive country girl named Annie PlimleY about six months ago, and it appears that their marriage proved g failure. Thompson was in the village of Wsst Hurley, a short distance from his home, three weeks ago, ard, it is related, began talkiHg over his family trouble to some companions, saying ho wished he had never met Annie, and would bs glad if she would leave him. Charles Lewis, B young man said:
 "I' Il give you hab dollar for her, M and the offer had scarcely escaped his lips before Thompson replied;
 'It's bargain
 Lewis, who had merely intended the matter ss aioke, began couHsipg out some charge 50 maks up the amount. and found he only had 45 cents Hs then said he 6itf not have the half dol lar, when Thompssursphed, dGiys me She 45 cents and ste is yours" The money was paid. and Thompson was 50 deliver bis wife the following Sunday.

Hidden Treasure Of uritish Royalty.


 King John was both seeker for and hider of treasure. We find him digging for treasure in Northumberland about the sites of the stations on the Roman wall and he was reputed to have stores of treasure in his faVorite strongholds. Somewhere buried in the sandy estuaries of Lincolnshire arc the golden crown and jewels of King John, with the chests of treasure that were carried in his train. But we speculate. too. about other hoards, chiefly buried beneath the foundations of his castle walls. the secret of which was lost in the sudden death of the greedy king.
 Again there Is a royal treasure perhaps at this moment lying hid in some rocky chasns of the mountains of Wales nothing less than the treasure of King Edward II. which he carried with him in his flight from his triumphant queen and her paramour. and which they vain ly, it would seem, after his capture en- deavored to recover. - All the Year RUuud

 It Is fact not generally known that tho hotels of the city is performed by a regularly incorporated company who make that work their sole occupation.
 Something had to be done to correct tho evil of having old time tables in tho coatroom and porters' closets of the hotels which gave nothing but misin- formation to the traveller, if indeed he could find any time table at all, and so the general passenger agent of one of the trunk line roads hit upon the scheme of forming time table supply company. This was done about year ago and has now assumed large proportions.
 The profits in the business are consid. erable and come from the railroad com panies. Some seventy or eighty of the prominent roads of the country are sub- scribers. They supply their folders and time slips to the company and subscribe literally for the work of having them distributed among the large hotels and other resorts of New York and Brooklyn. The company furnishes each hotel with a neat rack, either stationary or revolv- ing, and supports a delivery wagon and an agent, whose duty it is to make the rounds weekly. putting new time tables in place and repleniehing the depleted supply
 As a consequence it is far easier and more certain matter to obtain accurate information in New York regarding the ' Al trains than it ever was before, and every one who has waited for an hour or more at n lonesome railway station or has lost half day through transformation will bless the genius who invented q railway time table supply company New York Herald.

Good Advice on ths subJee. of Hats.

Some one has said that not one man in dozen knows how to wear dress coat, and it Is quite as true that large num- Der of individuals do not have any idea how to wear hat. One man can wear his hat at the back of his head and look well dressed, while another having his hat In that position would look as though he were recovering from a protracted round of dissipation. It is just the same with :he other positions, on the top of the head, on either side or drawn over the forehead. It is knowing how to wear Q hat which makes 1t look we'll, and the knowledge often enables the poor man to look more dressy in Q cheap hat than his richer neighbor in q much more cost ly one.
 The time the knowledge is saving one is when buying hat. A good sales man will take care that a customer gets hat that will fit him when worn in the position which is most becoming to that individual. but unless this is taken care of by either purchaser or salesman there will be little satisfaction from the pur- chase and the hat will probably blew off at the smallest provocatioD. 4 b:.t that fits and is worn right seldom blows of, no matter how high the wind may be- St. Louis Globe-Democrat

The reason why it is the custom for an inquiring person in New York tene- ment house to ihteTogate the residents of the top floor first is because he re- ceives plenty of polite attention, whereas if one begins at the lower floor and pro eeeds upward, he will get short answers and little satisfaction.

Stars vs. Ade1phis.

To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER.
 The members of the Star Baseball club were not surprised when they read in yes terday's COURIER that the Birmingham club would not recognize the fac! that they were defeated in Saturdays game at Savin Rock, because remembering how they per sistently fought each and every decision of
 MT. Curran, the umpire, and on two occa-
 sions dropped their bats and donned their
 coats because the Stars would not accede
 to their every wish, 1t was not, therefore,
 surprising that they should now deny the
 official score of the game, 14 to 12. Never
 theless, 1t remains fact that the Stars
 were victorious in that animated contest to
 the tune of IA to 12 st the end of the
 seventh inning, and 1t remains . fact that
 the preponderance of opinion with the spectators was that Mr. Curran, the um- pire, was right when he claimed the last foul which broke up the game. In refer ence to the first game, played in Birming- ham, the Stars acknowledge their defeat, but when 1t is spoken of as "walk over' I would like to state that the only "walk- over" we remember while there was the WAtk over tuS IOchy Ail'S lOE aCout Iour miles to the blackberry lot which the Adel- phis called ball field. That "walkover' and that field will be always remembered ! by our members; indeed, 1t would be hard to forget how on two or three occasjons
 both clubs were kept busy for fifteen min ! utes at time trying to locste and find the | ball among the briars. Yes, brothers, l never fear, we remember the walk ovsr' and the "walk back" We also remember l our last score, IA to 12.

 "For an infant that has been weaned and is getting teeth there is nothing nearly so good as lactated food. It is better preventive of the much o-be dreaded cholera infantum than all the medicine ever discovered. You can get it at any drug store, and it Is so inexpensive that every mother caa afford it.
 By using lactated food you will avoid the real dangers of summer and free your mind from constant apprehension"
 Any praeticed physician will tell you that the lsctated food is commented upon by his most eminent tfellow-practitioner es the best substitute for pure mothers milk, and that 1t can bs absolutely relied on for purity and freedom from any possible source of contamination.
 You can rely on lactated food above ev- erything else to carry the weaned baby through the trying days and nights of summer.
 If the little one is inclined to be nervous and fretful in the summer heat, lactated food sustains the strength and wards of summer disrrhes and prevents cholera in- fantum.
