BRAND THE CLAIM AS FALSE.
Worlds Fair Officials Expose q Pre-
tender 20 an Award.

CHICAGO, ILL.--One Of the odd re-
suits Of the Werld's Fair 10 the claim now
made TO awards BY some who were not
even exhibitors. Omicials Of the Exposi-
ton have not - yet taken anal action In
the matter, believing the quick wit Of the
people will detect the spurious claIms.
Bat to the case Of New York baking
powder. that has bssn widely advertising
an award. the attention of the Chief OF
Awards for Agriculture, has been directed.
He brasds the claim Of this pretender %
falss. declaring "Nsither the records Of
this department., nor the ofncisl catalogue
of the Worlds Columbian Exposition,
show that this New York Company was
an exhibitor; consequently IL could not
reosive an award At the Worlds Fair"
Those who fairly won their houors at
the FaIr seem disposed to treat this fraud
- any other fraud should be treated. The
Price Baking Powder Company, Of Chi
cago, having received the highest award,
cay they are couviaced their claims, aud
those OF all other holders OF rightful hon
ors, will be fully vindicated by the public.

CHICAGO, Dec. Is. = Guilty as
charged" was the finding announced
to-day by United States Circuit Judge
William Woods against President Eu-
gene v. Debs and all the directors Of
the American Railway union, accused
Of contempt Of court In violating the
strike injunction last summer.
When Judge Woods had concluded his
opinion he asked whether the defend
ants had anything to say, and At
torney Darrow, representing the de-
fendsnts, asked that his clients might
retire for a consultation. After brief
recess the strike leaders fled back into
court, ranging themselves before the
bench. Attorney Darrow. speaking
for them, said they had no wish to
make separate speeches. but felt that
they had done no wrong. The at
torney advised the court that Director
Mcvaue, one Of the defendants. was
out of the city during the strike. A.
lengthy argument between attorneys
followed over the proposition to dis
criminate in Mcvane's favor. which
the court Terminated by suspending
sentence on him.
In sentencing the other defendants
Judge Woods said punishment should
be neither vindictive nor trivial. These
men were in willful contempt, under
what legal advice he should like very
much to know. These men were the
leaders, in q great measure, of law
breakers, and were responsi BILE n leadi

sponsible than any other. He was .
man of marked ability and power over,
men and he (the judge) felt constrained
TO discriminate between him and the
others The punishment against all
defendants except Debs would be three
months In jail. and against Debs six.
| months
The defendants ..i not appear par
ticularly crushed by the punishment
Debs whispered few words TO his sis
ter, who sat near, and they both
laughed heartily. Howard and Hogan
both exchanged smiling glances and
Keliher grasped his attorneys hand
and appeared TO offer congratulations
II was evident that ell had expected
much more severe sentences, and all
wore looks Of relief
The court announced that the pun
ishment was mot TO take effect for ten
days, In which time the defendants At
torneys will prepare an appeal. The
prospective prisoners, after = short con-
sultation with their attorneys, left the
court room.
The defendants with their of3cisl
positions in the American Railway

dent, Howard; secretary, Keliher;
treasurer, Rogers, and directors, Burma,
Elliott, Mcvane, Hogan and Goodwin.

Sheridan's Shoes.
Approved July II, 1862.

A good story of Gen. Sheridan was told
the other day by Mexican, an intimate
friend of the great Northern soldier in bis
lifetime. ORe day, calling on the COM
nander of the army at his Office in WASH
ington, he found h.m at his desk, his feet
encased in slippers and his shoes democrat
ically placed OH the top OF the desk While
the General WAS appareatly absorbed in some
writing, the Mexican gentleman, who thought
some servant had left the warriors shoes in
the wrong place, took his cane and gently
deposited the shoes on the floor The next
day the Mexican called on Sheridan and
found him ut his desk, shoes on top, as be-
fore. The polite resident of the tropics
began once more removing his shoes to the
floor, when all at once Sheridan roared out:
Don't do that again, sir! You make me
ridiculous, sir!"
Il beg your parton, General, but how
have made you ridieuIous?"
Why, SIR" said Sheridan, still annoyed,
yesterday, sir, / went out TO walk after you
had called on me. l was nearing the White
House when l noticed a gentleman looking
al me intently- Soon be addressed me, say
ing: Excuse me, General, but aren't you
afraid of catching cold?' Why, sir no; not
that | am aware OF. What is the matter.
sir p Well said the gentleman, it is damp
and you are going about in your slippers |
tell you, sir, }" said Sheridan, addressing his
Mexican friend, you made me ridiculous
1t Is my habit, sir, to put my shoes on my
desk where / cannot fail to see them, so /
may not forget to put them on, and, confound
1t, sir, you come around here with your
notions OF propriety and send me around
town in my slippers"

An Inventive Genius.
fnoyrnff Erno D--oys I

The tramp had been SO encouraged by re-
ceiving a whole pie one day at certain
house on Third street that he became nui-
sance by his frequent visits, and at last the
lady Of the house turned him down peremp-
torily. Then it was he sought revenge. Com
ing again the next day he was met by firm
refusal.
I" only come" he said, whiningly, " to see
if you couldn't give me another pie like that
one you gave me befOre.o
NO, / can't, and | wouldn't if l could"
snapped the lady, and if You don't go away
I'll call the policeman"
Don't do that lady," he replied, as he
started off i don't mean no harm was
just thinkin' if you could give me another pie
I'd put it with that other one Ive saved and
then I'd steal an old bicycle frame and fix
myself up so | could git around a good deal
easier than walkin'."
Thus do We see that others besides Re-
pnbiics are ungrateful.

re alone, it was

nece ssary. And when we were alone, 1T was
just the same thing over again.
And / was so thoughtful and attentive,
too. l would say, "Read me what you're
writing now, won't You ?" and he would re-
cite long strings of poetry, verse after verse.
l didn't understand word of it, but pre-
tended to be very much interested IN 1T, and
used to put in a word now and then, which
somehow or other always seemed to lrritate
him.
But in whole year, with all his rhyming,
he got out only one book, and that didn't
SELL / said to him, Now, don't you see?"
just by way Of reasoning with him, to lead
him to something better, something more
remunerative, and he flew into the most
violent passion; and ever since he has been
so blue that it makes me quite miserable.
Ny friends do all they can for nae. You
see, my dear, he dosen't know what to do
with himself Every man with so much
time on his hands has these fits of temper.
If he only had some little occupation now
he would not be so wretched."
So started out, and all my friends with
me, to try to obtain position for him. L
moved heaven and earth. / can't tell you
how many calls / made on the wife of this
Secretary and of that. l even went to MEM
bers of the Cabinet, but, of course, without
letting him know. ] was saving it up as q
surprise for him. kept saying to myself,
