Charged With Using Public Funds

On Saturday last three warrants were issued out of Justice Andrews court for the arrost nf F. w. French, probate judge and eX-oliicio superin- tendent of public schools of this county. The charges in the warrants are based on alleged irregularities on the part of the accused in handling public funds in his official capacity. Justice Andrews fixed Judgc French's bail at 5000, in de- fault of giving which the judge. at this writing, is locked up in the county jail. The writer called upon the prisoner, found hnu seated in cell reading q pamphlet which had the outside ap- pearance of novel h reply [" q question as to whether he had any statement to make, the judge aeplied that he had not. said, in effect that he would be able to make satisfactory explanation, which the Courier hopes he will be able to do, On the other hand. his accusers are equally conf- dent that the judge cannot explain away the charges. As every man is presumed to be innocent until proven guilty, let US give the prisoner the benefit of the doubt until his case is de- cidcd before q proper tribunal. It is not the province of newspaper, or even private individuals, to pass judg- ment upon man before he has fair trial and all the facts are thoroughly brought to light.
 The Courier of Tuesday says that Judge French has been released under sl 300 bonds, and the preliminary eN- animation set for next Saturday.

KenyOn's Report Is Merely
Threshing Old Straw.

The report of Public Examiner Ken
yon as to the books in the city treasur-
er's Office was not presented to the
board Of aldermen last night. The delay
was caused by the failure of the STEM
ographer in the Office of the examiner
to complete the typewriter report. Mr..
Kenyon also stated yesterday afternoon
that under the law he would be required
to make his report to the governor, and
that official would then transmit
it to the city authorities. The
report covers period of five
years back from June l. 1892,
and the total amount OF penalties and
judgments which, it is claimed. were
not collected by the eX-treasurer during
that time amount to $4,000. City Treas
urer Refs. seen yesterday, said he was
not at all worried over the matter, as it
was the old charges threshed over again.
He admitted it was not pleasant to have
charges made indiscriminately by per-
sons with no ideas of what they we're
talking about, but felt certain the public
would not take any stock in such state
ments. At the proper time, he said, he
would be ready to reply III detail TO the
charges which. as he understood them,
would be mentioned in the report.

SOME NOTED WOMEN.

The subject chosen for public lectures
by Miss Cora A. Benneson, graduate of
Michigan university and member of the
Illinois bar, shows what women are
linking about. One of her lectures is on
the annexation of Hawaii, another about

Mrs. Harriet Strong, of Whittier, Cal.
last year raised 1900, 900 plumes OF the
beautiful pampas grass so much used IN
decoration, and sold them nearly all.
One million will adorn the buildings OF
the worlds fair, and she exported 65O,0OO
to Europe. Mrs. Strong has been the
first person to grow these pampaS
plumes extensively in North America.
Formerly they all came from South
America. The last presidential cam
paign was lucky for Mrs. Strong, lOO,-
COO of the plumes ceing used IN the pa
rades and decorations.
Mrs. J. Crosby Brown, who has fine
country home on Orange mountain, has
for the past nine years given happy aft
ernoons in her grounds to poor mothers
from New York. The mothers come Ill
groups of eight, each bringing her own
or some other child with her, and are
brought up from the station in carriages.
There is house on the grounds where
they receive refreshments three times
during the day Some of the women
who are reached by this gentle beneh-
cence have not seen the country Tor
twenty years.
Mrs. Cleveland is very anxious to
move into the new country home out on
the Woodley Lane road, which the
president has leased for term OF years.
She has made several trips to the house,
which is now undergoing repairs, and
all of the alterations are Superlntended
by her. One OF the largest and most
cheerful rooms on the second Hoor has
been set apart as nursery.
While living at Oak View Mrs. CleVe-
land was very fond of sitting out under
the trees in big wicker char reading
or knitting. One particularly large and
graceful elm which grew about nifty
Yards from the house was known as
Mrs. Cleyeland'S tree" and there she
spent long afternoons busy with fancy
work CT watching the president as he
grubbed about in the flower beds with
short-handled hoe. Mrs. Cleveland is
very fond of flowers, and the White
house gardeners will be very glad to
send some of their surplus stock out to
the country mansion to beautifY the
lawns and drlve-wayS.
Mrs. Cleveland anticipates much
pleasure in driving about the country
roads in a low. comfortable phaeton
which the president has bought for her
use. She IS an excellent driver, and
during the presidents first term she got
to be a familiar figure Oh the suburban
roads.
The presidents country house, by the
way, is ninety-three years old, having
been built in 1900 by Francis Scott Key,
and all the bricks in the old mansion
were brought over from England.
Three presidents-Van Buren,. Tyler
and Buchanan-occupi the house as a
summer residence, and it was at one
time the summer quarters of the Ger
man legation.

will eat of them and die.
Moths are especially fond of babies

there A wool mattress is another place
for which she shows great partially,
and it is hard to prevent her from de-
posting eggs somewhere in it. The
best remedy is to prop the mattress up
on blocks of wood out in the yard and
set under 1t dish of live Goals, on
which you must sprinkle sulphur from
time to time. Care must be used to
prop it high enough not to become
ScOrched.
Remember, that whatever you use
must be used in time to prevent the
moth from depositing her eggs, as there
are few things that will kill the worm.
Oil of cedar, turpentine, camphor, oil OF
cloves or wintergreen will keep the
worm away, but evaporate quickly, and
should be used early and renewed often.
They kill neither moth nor worm, and
must be strong to be effective.

In the old days when we were all
taught that doing was far more import

moral truths as "Pretty is as pretty
does" ''Pride goeth before fall, eff
you will act as well as you look, you
will be all right" These all contained
a germ of truth, but the differences de-
Quoted were wrong. One may be too
good to live, and yet if you do not look
nice, your chances for canoniZatlon
are small. The real philosophy is stated
thus by woman in the Chicago Mail:
A young woman says that she is having
a "seething argument' with her friend
concerning the Importance Of personal
appearance in winning social and busl-
ness success. She writes:
Never mind which side | stand on,
will the woman's department give It's
opinion as ammunition for this small
battle?"

for the occasion. This dainty aDprecla-

times and at certain places is one OF
the paramount elements of good taste.
But the attire, whether for home duties,
visiting, banqueting or working, should
be distinctly neat and IN appropriate
fashion.

doesn't care rap for the looks of any
thing, is usually the proprietor of sew.

woman can not rig herself up to ad-
vantage. When she would If she could,
and can not, the result is usually sac

True, it is not possible to achieve sue

appearances without the backing Of
ability. 1t is also possible to miss re-

appearances and gearing or by lack OF
means to procure proper equipment.
