The Irishmam Was Not Discharged.

A lady and gentleman, recently married,
in the neighborhood of Boston, left home in
their own carriage for bridal tour among
the mountains. In order to avoid the Curl
osity attracted by persons in the honeymoon
the gentleman gave his servant the strictest
charge not to tell any one on the road that
they were newly married, and threatened to
dismiss him if he did. Dan promised i'm
plicit obedience, but on leaving the first inn
on the road next morning the happy couple
we're much astonished aud annoyed to fed
the servants all assembled, aud, pointing to
the gentleman, mysteriously exclaiming,
"Thats him; that's the man." On reach
ing the next stage the Indignant master told
Dan he must Immediately discharge him, as
he had divulged what he had impressed
upon him as g secret "Plaze, your hon.
cur said Dan, "what is it you complain
Of" "You !" exclaimed the angry master.
''You told the servants at the inn last night
that we were a newly married couple. -
"Och, then be this and he that" says Dan,
Frightening up In anticipated triumph,
"there's not word of truth in it, yer hon.

The recent sympathetic strike is computed

The recent sympathetic strike is computed
to have cost Ssl 900, 900, two-thirds of which
represents the losses of the workingmen
who took hand in it, The loss to the bns-
mess community is put at $26,OO0,OOO, and
to the railroads at 100000. These figures
are so startling as to engender a doubt Of
their credibility, yet the computations are
made by Bradstreet's, which is regarded as
standard authority in such matters.

BAD METHODS DENOUNCED
JUDGE MILLER ON MANUFAC-
TURED TEsTIM COURT
DISPLEASED.

One of the most diabolical cases ever
tried in the police court was the charge
against Mrs. Ellen Mcdonald, the pro-
prietresS of reputable saloon i'll South
Washington. The case was manufac-
tured by Sergeant Daley. The wit
nesses we're Eliza Grant, Belle Scott and
man, all of whoa have served some
time in the workhouse.
Lawyer Shillington represented the
defense.
After the witnesses for the prosecu-
tion hads testified. Judge Miller and
James Pugh, esq, the district attorney,
became disguised. District Attorney
Pugh, who is always fair and just in his
prosecution, said that he had nothing to
say and was glad that the court took a
view of the case i'll the manner that he
did.
Judge Miller said that he would not
allow such witnesses to testify against
reputable citizens.
The testimony was that Sergeant Da-
ley had given one of these women 25
cents to purchase whiSkey from any sa-
loon that was doing Sunday business.
A b0otblack, from the testimony, sold
! these women whiskey and gin, but from
| whom this bootblack purchased the IL
quOr these women could not tell, but
| the impression thai they wanted to
make to the court and jury was that
| they bought it at the place of Mrs. Nc
Donald.
Sergeant Daley was not present,
! hence Officer Duyall mad to prosecute
the case for Sergeant Daley, and he was
| very fair and just in his testimony, and
the district attorney informed the court
| that Officer McDonold had nothing to
| do with the prosecution ON such manu-
iactured testimony.
Judge Miller, after having heard the
evidence, became SO disguised that he
gave severe lecture to officers who
would be guilty of prosecuting a case
like the one he had before him,
Judge Miller said that he is not call
ing any ones name, but he didn't pro-
pose to allow the court over which he
presided to be used for any such pur-
poses.
If a responsible officer brought ca e
in court, an officer who could be be-
| lieved on oath and whose testimony
| could be believed, he would allow the
case to be tried.
The methods that Sergeant Daley re-
sort to to bring cases in court is a
mockery Oh justice and a disgrace to
this continuity. This is what the BEE
thinks. While judge Miller didn't
say this, those who have from
time to time heard the testimony of
Sergeant Daley's witnesses. would come
to The same conclusions that the BEE
comes to. The District Commissioners
are doing tile wrong thing in indorsing
Sergeant Daley in this method of max
ing cases. He should be removed from
the police force at oIce.
Commissioner Truesdell is in error in
placing SO much credence in Sergeant
Daley'S tales of woe.

E E. COOPER.
HIS DUPLICITY AND DECEPTION.
Editor of the BEE:

Editor Of the BEE:
Permit one of your admirers small
space in your paper for the purpose of
asking Mr.. +. E. Cooper, the editor Of
The Color, American, few questions.
1st. Will the editor Of the American
explain to the public why he at this late
day attacks Mr. Taylor?
I'd. Did not Mr.. Taylor pay prom
issory note for him to the amount Of 26
dollars
sd. Has not Mr.. Cooper been paid for
all he has done for MIR. Taylor Z?
Now, Mr.. Editor, am of the opinion
that Mr.. Cooper should close his mouth.
He was continually after Mr.. Taylor for
money, and On one occasion called on
the Recorder and asked him to lend him
enough money to get out his paper.
Mr.. Taylor put his hands in his pocket
and loaned him the money
Although Mr.. Taylor has paid him in
cash all the money he owed him, his
next demand on Taylor was for place
for his cousin; this Mr.. Taylor refused
to give him.
He now criticiSes the Recorder and
says to the public through his paper
that Taylor is untrue to his friends.
Has he been untrue to Cooper? No.
He has paid him all that he ever oWe;i
him.
One Who Knows.
