one which charged that he tried toget

made a motion asking that the court
set aside the judgment because the
articles upon which the Judge was
convicted do not charge him with the
commission OF any act which was q
crime under the law Of the State at the
time the same was committed. He
did this, he said, for the purpose OF
getting the case in proper shape to

Twas Not a Bible.

Everybody who has seen a police
court Bible knows what a grimy,
greasy and generally unprepossessine
volume il is. Held by every variety
Of dirty hands, kissed frequently by
rot overclean lips and left during Oh
hours in dusty corners, it sooC be-
comes, as far as appearance goes, a
vagrant among books, and one that
people with instincts of cleanliness
would not care to handle for any
length Of time.
The Bible in one of the uptown
police courts having received such
rough usage during its long service
that it threatened TO fail apart, one
of the officers tied it together with a
piece of twine, and in this shape it
has been doing duty for the past three
weeks. Last Monday morning this
battered veteran was the cause Of
brief sensation in court ana now the
officials Of the same are seeking for 4
certain humOriSt with gore in their
optics, says the New York CONNER
cIal Advertiser. As the witness in
an assault and battery case was
evidence the string broke and the IN
terror parted company with the
covers.
The witness picked up the former
and looked through its pages with a
smile. is it this We want me to
swear on, yer hOnOr?" he quired
THAT is the Bible, sir"

And so il was.
Somebody had replaced the original
book with a small copy of Webster's
una ridged, and for some indefinite
period OF time plaintiffs, defendants
and witnesses had been gravely
swearing upon it.
So far the finger of suspicion has
failed to point, but his honor is CON

"The laws delay which Hamlet
thought was one Of the things which

Bnbject of raillery on the part OF

The poor man who, at the present

The chronicles, in part composed OF

monarch's part to prevent the delays

He could not deny that the excuses
made by the judges were plausible,
but he was convinced that they could

He decreed, therefore, that when a

complainant in the case should have
the right to take up his residence Ia

apparently unknown. When sun

church, and was not a little aston

a very young man, rattle off one OF
his (Beecher'S) best sermons as an or
Iginal discourse.
At the conclusion Of the service the
great preacher waited for 4 chat with
the young man.
"Might l ask how long it took you
to compose the sermon you preached
to US this morning." inquired its real
author. "Oh, about six or seven
hours" was the rejoinder.
you must be very smart Young
man." said Beechcr, ''for it took me-
just five days to write that self-Same
sermon"
After a careful but unblLsh!ug
scrutiny of the great pulpit orator,
the youth remarked

i grave ned was the only response
Then the juvenile apostle put out
his hand, and, graSping that of his
celebrated listener, exclaimed,

Being Armed With Latest Improved
Rifles.
The possibilities of China as a mil.
rtary power have hardly been cOnsid.
cred by the Western nations. 1t has
been vaguely realized that China
might some day become a menace to
any power that offended her if what
may be called the national militia
or that country should ever be turned
into trained troops. a nation Of 300,.
900, 600 or 400, 600, 600 people should
have 20, 900, 900 or %, 900, 900 able.
bodied men in the prime of condition
for military service. With such a
force as this, the San Francisco Ex-
aminer thinks, China would be an an.
tagoniSt that no nation would attack.
While the fact that China possesses
this enormous mass of the raw mate.
rial of sOldiery has been understood,
the ineificiency Of the Government
and the absurd showing heretofore
made by its armies have spread the
idea that China would not have TO be
reCkOned with as military power in
the life OF any man now living. Re.
cent reports, however, indicate that
there has been a change in the
Chinese armies. While no attempt
has been made to develop the strength
of the national militia, the regular
army has been partly remOdeled and
made an effective force. European
and American officers have been EN-.
ployed, Western tactics have been
taught, strict military discipline en-
forced and the equipment of the
troops altered TO the European style.
The rearmament of the troops with
the latest improved rifles is now in
progress, and already force of 100.
900 men is fully equipped and ready
for service.
The Chinese army is all told but
about 600, 600 men, and the larger
portion Of these have not yet been
reached in the system OF army re-
form. But the fact that the trans
formation has proceeded thus far and
is still going on shows that China has
realized her deficiencies and is anxious
10 remedy them. The fact may mean
much to the world. Tue Chinese are
good soldiers when properly trained
and led. The work of Ward and Cor
don in the TAPPING rebellion showed
that. The experience of San Fran
cisco with the highbinders confirms
the statements OF Gordon that they
have desperate courage that can be
turned to good account If they have
confidence in their leaders. But it
remains to be seen whether the Gov
ernment has the strength to make its
army strong. Corruption and inehi!
cheney are its ruling traits, and these
are fatal TO an army If they are found
in the army administration. If Eu-
rOpean methods are followed China
may in ten years have disciplined
force to compare with the armies OF
Europe. Yet, even with the progress
that has been made and the greater
progress that may be made in the
future. China will not he feared until
she proves in armed conflict that she
has thrown oriental administrative
and military faults behind her for the
methods Of the foreign devils"

A Timid Millionaires Coll.

: In one of his romances Alexaud or Dr,
nas tells OF man who kept all his sav.
iags In gold. When a war broke out
b France and gold went to very high
premium, he exchanged all he hal for
government notes aud thus acquired a
iortune. When the property left by the
ato Wilson G.. Hunt was overhauled by
bis executors they found 100000 in
gold coin. The purpose of the old mil
Iionairo in keeping such large amount
ot money lying idle will probably never
be definitely known, as he did noI
confde his design to anyone, but It il
supposed that he thought the unsettled
condition of the money market would
reduce gold to premium, and ha
determined to have stock OF 1t on
band. Henry C.ews, the banker and
broker, who was oae of Mr.. Hunts most
Intimate friends, and was at one time
associated with him in business, was OF
ihe opinion that Mr.. Hunts action was
Inspired by fear.
e ''Mr. Hunt was AT excee liugiy tinid
man," said Mr.. Clews. His fortune
Of five millions was the result of many
years of saving, and he never had suffi-
cient courage to venture into any scheme
that entailed even ordinary risk. Twice
during my association in business with
him he put all his money into gold, and
each time he did it because he feared
he would lose it. The frat time was in
1857, when there was a panic, and the
other was just before the war. 1t
was really surprising that he should have
have made so much money, but the mos,
OF it came from saving. He retired In
1860 from the dry goods business with
a fortune Of $3.50, 900. He was uumar-
ried, and lived with niece at the
nlarerdon Hotel for forts.ive years to
a. Anoss.sage. lis niode of living was
very inexpensive, aud I doubt that he
spent over 5000 year. Money, invested
in good securities, as his was, will dou.
bic In ten years. His $3.50, ,000s there.
fore, amounted to 81, 100000 in ten
years, to So, 900, 900 in twenty years and
to So, 900, 900 IN thirty years. AS h
left So, 900, 600, it is evident that he dill
not do quite as well as he should have
think very few rich men hoard gold /
any time. The man who acquires riches
usually has sufficient confidence in tho
great enterprises of the country to b.
willing to take his chances on their Sc,
curities, and Government bonds appeal
to even the timid as being safer than
gold or any other kind of property. -
