CHIEF JUSTICE BENNETT.
An Unhappy Father Obliged to
Warn the Public Against His
Unfortunate Son.

On Wednesd ay the Courier-Journal
contained the following startling
notice to the public:
CAS-. BENNETT, JR., INSANE.
To THE PUBLIC: My unfortunate
son, Caswell Bennett, Jr., is insane.
his mania. just now, consists in the
fact Of giving checks indiscriminate-
~ upon banks, without any funds
therein, or any prospects Of any, to
meet them, and of signing my name
TO checks or notes without my
authority so TO do. His condition of
mind has only been recently dis
covered by me and his friends. He
has been moving from place to place,
in. consequence Of which [ have been
unable to have him arrested and
tried under a writ of lunacy. l have
not. nor will l. pay any indebtedness
contracted by him.
G. BENNETT.
Frankfort, Ky, Feb. 6. 1898
Though the reckless habits of
Judge Benefits son, as advertised in
his card, have been a matter of pub
lie talk here for some time, they
were not made the subject of news
paper comment for the reason that
every one, especially every father,
felt deep sympathy for the Judge,
who it was known for several years
back had borne his cross in silence,
promptly paying the forged drafts
upon him and Offering every induce
ment that fond parent could think
otto redeem his erring boy. "Cad," as
he was Familiarity called, was genial
companion, and moved in the best
society, but he never knew the value
of dollar. He held for some years,
until recently, the position Of tipstaff
of the Superior Court, which paid
him three dollars a day or about
ninety dollars month for ten
months in the year, and his positive
waste of money continually kept
him in debt, and still drawing as
much money from his father as his
position paid him. The utter disre-
gard of repeated threats and the
dangers of the law, and also splendid
offered for his advance
ment, can be accounted for in no
other way than a mental unbalance,
of which, as a last resort, it was
necessary for the unhappy father to
forewarn the public.

Recently in a conversation by a
group Of gentlemen, question was
asked Of one gentleman if he had
read any Of Jerome K. Jerome's
works, and when he replied in the
negative. he was again asked If he
had read any o. Rudyard fipling's
and the second negative was the &C.
casiOn for great surprise and COM
ment by the rest Of the group. One
gentleman said: Pm surprised be
cause [ thought you "A well read
man" Another said; You enjoy
the reputation OF Il reader, it seems
without reading anything perhaps
but newspapers and atmanacs."
This nettled the gentlemen who had
been questioned, and he said in his
defense: MY life will be brief and
my opportunities for reading very
limited, and realizing this, don't you
think it wise in me not to devote the
best part Of it to reading many
things that perish within a few years
for want of power to keep them
alive in the world of letters? Doubt
less | can tell you of much more in
one day in history, biography, poetry
and general literature that has en-
dured the test Of time and criticism,
than you have read in your whole life.
The authors of the present day are
not to be compared to those whose
works are now recognized as stand
between what you know to be good
and what a morbid appetite in these
days for something new and startling
might chance to cause to be pro-
duced as good, don't think man
of sense ought to hesitate. Maya
zines, periodicals and nearly all of
the works of literature that are now
pouring from the press will do to
while away an idle half hour,
but when it domestic real reading, to
something substantial for the mind
to find its proper nourishment this
generation is abundantly supplied in
whole libraries of standard authors,
who have left nothing unsaid or to
be desired, out of which the later
authors could produce enough to
satisfy the mental hunger for even
one year"

The Senator's Give Some Remarkable
Exhibitions of Ragged Baseball
and Lose Again.

Some citizens in Sacramento are meet
ing with lots of disappointment just now.
A banquet and brass. band serenade are
going TO waste in the same town. and it is
all because the ball-players from the Capt.
tai City cannot win few games.
When Mr.. Moore and his hired men
turned their backs on Stockton and pitched
their tents further up the river these citi-
zens hailed the move with joy and promised
all sorts of receptions as soon as the club
succeeded in winning few games.
The promise still holds good and its
authors are just dying to carry it out, bu,
then somehow or another the ball team
don't seem able to win.
When it began the present series with
Oakland great things were expected of it,
but it seems rs if they were not going to
materialize.
Two games have thus far been played
and both have gone to the Colonies.
The one at Haight street yesterday was
won with apparent ease. Lookabaugh,
who recently gave up his job at shaving to
pitch some more ball, was in the box for
the Senators ana proved quite an easy
mark.
Sixteen hits were made off him, and the
only reason the number was not larger is
because the ball did not go anywhere near
she plate the rest of the time. The young
man was as wild as Kansas cyclone. and
eight bases on balls were presented to
Oakland in consequence.
Horner did the pitching for the other
fellows, and while he was touched up a
bit the hits came when they were least
needed. Klopf. McHale and Whitehead
batted out home runs. but they did so
when the bases we're devoid of runners.
More than the ordinary mum Der o f errors
were In evidence, and some of them Were
large enough to walk. In the eighth in
ming, while Hines and Callopy were play

Whitehead, Roberts and Peoples tied them

in the Police Court.

Ill FOItCC SOuIls
The second day of the trial of G. E.
Moser. charged with libeling Miss Frances
Cameron. brought an increased attend
ance at the Oakland Police Court yester.
day morning.
The presence of dozen or more women
was striking departure from the usual
Police Court crowd of loungers.
When the case was called Mr.. Moser
was seated by the side of his attorney, Mr..
Aram, and Miss Cameron, somewhat con-
fused by the battery OF a hundred pairs of
eyes, looked timdly at Judge Allen from
her point of vantage by the side of her
mother.
The first witness called was Chief
Schaffer, who testified TO having arrested
Moser, and recited number of CONVEX
sations had with him.
He had upon one of these occasions
warned Moser of the serious character of
the charges he was making against Miss
Cameron.
The Chief t0ldtof several interviews he
had had with Miss Cameron. and in one of
these she had cited as an instance Of
Mosers prosecutions an epls0ds OF high
noontide on the public street. Moser had
come up TO her and before she could inter
1ere had put bis arm about her waist.
Inc Chief also identified number OF let
ters that had been sent by Moser to Mrs.
T.. 7. OutIam.
Inc second witness called was e. P.
Outram. secretary of the Mountain View
Cemetery Association. His estimony was
to prove the identity OF the letter of
Mosers mentioned in the complaint as
being especially Objectionable.
The defense demanded the presentation
Of the envelope in which this letter had
