What, if Before a Kent County
Grand JurYf

The following would have been an
interesting case in the Court of Kent
county Grand Jury, viz: whether the
bill would have been ignored or
the man indicted for not giving the
kiss. 1t is an incident of Williamsburg
a part of Brooklyn, as reported in the
New York Snn of the 10Th inst
Mary Hopkins, a colored dress
maker, % years old of SO Hopkins
street, Williamsburg, invited about a
dozen cOlored church workers from her
nelghborhoOd to a reception at her
house few nights ago. Among them
was Julius SipeO, a tailor, who lives
with his wife in rooms over those of
Miss Hopkins. His wife was invited
to the reception, but she couldn't 90 on
account of illness.
During the evening Miss Hopkins
sent after several cans of beer. It was
nearly midnight when the guests star
ted for home. After those who did
not live in the house had gone, Miss
Hopkins reclined on a lounge while
Sipeo drank parting glass of beer.
when he got up to go to his rooms. Miss
Hopkins, he says, said to him:
NASi 6ANO iHO u KISS before Won
leave me-"
What followed was told in the Lee
Avenue Police Court yesterday, where
Sipeo was charged with having black
ened Miss Hopkins left eye.

to kiss her," said Sipeo, "and asked her
what she meant.

peated, and when said 1 couldn't kiss
her because l was married and nv

You old fool, you're afraid of YOUR
wife Come, give me a kiss. Your
wife IS older than l am, any way.
II still refused to kiss her, because
when my wife dies it is time enough to
kiss somebody else. 1 went over to
Miss Hopkins and quietly told her that
l couldn't kiss her. She grabbed me
around the neck, and when I still re-
fused, she kissed me by force and then
whacked me in the face. l tried to get
away from her, but she had such tight
hold on me that couldn't, and in the
seuitle she fell over the stove. and that

Miss Hopkins Indignantly denied
Slpeo's story, and accused him of hav-
face.
The Rev. Phillip Bishop, a colored
preacher, testified to Sipeo's good char
acter and asked for his discharge. JUS
tlce Goetting, ignoring the request fined
Sipeo $40.

Some of the towns on the Peninsula

All these towns are lighted by electric
lights the work of Smyrna is now Just

When the General Assembly was
last winter asked to give some of these
towns power to borrow money to nut
In electric light plants the statement
was made that Newark, which was the
first to try the experiment, had actu-
ally gotten its lights for nothing by
selling the current to the town people.
Smyrna has decided to be equal To
Wilmington in one respect and will

The Cause and Its Lesson.


Why did he commit suicide? Oh for
the same reason that thousands of others are
on the verge Of the same sin, or in imme-
date danger of insanity, paralysis, idiocy,
or some other equally unfortunate result of
any nervous affection. He knew he was
afflicted with nervous disorder, but was
careless, apparently Indifferent to the out
cOme or he may have lessened his chances
for recovery by treating with physicians
who had little Cr no knowledge of such af-
fectiOns, or by deluging himself with worth
less so-called remedies. His case was q sad
one, but no worse than that of any other
nervous sufferer, who has nervous or sick
headache, biliousness, dizziness, irritability,
melancholy, failing memory, hot flashes,
fainting, sleeplessness, nervous dyspepsia,
sexual debility, epilepsy, etc. The same o.
similar consequences are likely to result to
any one who has any of these advance
symptoms of an awful end. Do not hesitate
in getting rid Of them by intelligent treat
ment. DIR. franklin Miles, the celebrated
specialist, has studied nervous diseases over
20 years, and has discovered the only re-
liable remedy for them. Thousands of vol

After periodical assurances extending
over period of three years to build a
telegraph line to this city, the Postal
Telegraph Company has made a prop
osition, which is embodied in the fol-
lowing letter:
Portland, July 2S. 1898.
James. s. Urquhart Astoria. Or;
Dear sir-Will say in reply to your
communication of the 17th inst: Mr.
Stlllman and myself have made a
thorough canvass of the matter and
have decided to build first-class tele
graph line from Portland to Astoria to
operate in connection with and be
known as the Postal Telegraph Line,
provided Astoria people will take $45OO
worth of capital stock, which l judge
from the last conversation with you
they were more than willing to do.
We expressly desire that any action
taken in the matter be prompt. as we
are desirous to commence at once and
will have the line completed and in
operation within 60 days.
You might bring the matter before
your chamber of commerce or board of
trade, and if considered favorably Mr.
Stillwell or myself will come down and
perfect arrangements. Yours,
GEO. f. HENSNER.
During the past two days Mr. Urqu-
hart has made a canvass of the city,
with the result that for the present he
has concluded to abandon the idea of
having operations begun. He has been
met with assurances that as soon as
times improve the requisite amount Of
stock would be subscribed, and the bus
mess men generally are Of the opinion
that the contemplated line would be
paying investment.
The Postal Telegraph Company
would, Mr.. Urquhart states, willingly
extend the line to Tillamook after 1t
reached this city, and in this way
great trade could be built up with the
people of Tillamook county At pres
ent all the trade of that section, or
nearly all of 1t, goes to Portland; but
if telegraphic communications could be
had with this city, the merchants here
would reap rich harvest
