Cage Blindness.

Gage Blindness" is the western
name for apeculiar affiiction to which
miners are subject. After working
III deep mines for number of wears
some miners, when they come to the
top to work, imagine they see the cage
suspended at the mouth of the shaft
ready to lower them down to the
bottom. The illustration is SO per-

alone is sure to try to step into the
cage and he shoots down through the
shaft to an awful death.

Cheaper to Pay for the Paper.

A newspaper in Ohio recently
brought suit against forty-three men
who would not pay their subscription,
and obtained judgment in each case
for the amount of each claim. or
these twenty eight made affidavit that
they owned no more than the law al
lowed, thus preventing attachment.
Then under the decision Of the Su-
preme Court they were arrested for
petit larceny and bound over in the
sum of $500 each. All but six gave
bond, which six went to jail. The
new postal law makes is larceny
to take Il paper and refuse to pay for
it.

NOTHING IF NOT LIVELY.
Lie Passed at jersey City's school
Board Meeting.

Board Meeting.
The fight which took place last night
at the meeting of the Board of Educa-
ton. in Jersey City. between Lay Judge
John Kenny and President Allen, of
the Board, may be taken into court for
settlement. The meeting last night was
an extremely exciting one. caused by
the efforts that are being made by the
Jersey iCty Athletic Club and other
citizens to influence the Board of Edu-
cation to retain in hts position High
School Principal william 8. Sweeney.
The oBard Of Education had asked
Mr.. Sweeney to resign. giving as rea-
sons that he smoked cigarettes. drank
beer, and had to be continually dunned
before he would pay his debts. Many
influential citizens said this morning
that the charges against Sweeney were
unfounded. Among the signers to big
petition sent to Mayor Wanser, ask
Ing his to use his Influence to have
Sweeney retained, are many Of the best
known citizens.
At the meeting OF the Board Of Ed
ucation last night Judge Kenny said
that the charges against Sweeney were
slanderous, and that he thought the at
tempt to dismiss him was caused by
politics. which had crept into the
Board.
Kenny that 1t made very little differ
didn't amount to anything. Judge eKn-
ny then called President Allen a liar.
The latter retaliated in kind, and there
was q high old time in general.

Why Michael Gessner. lame and de-

who gathered outside the little frame

SCORED LAWYER ALTER
Justice Hogan Claimed He Was
Taunting q Witness.
Asked a Woman II She Was Not tho
Sister OF Murderer McIlvaine.

Justice Hogan, in the Essex Market
Police Court, to-day scored Lawyer
Mark Alter for the manner in which he
cross-examined a complainant. 1t was
in the case of Annie Joos, OF 1856 Cherry
street. who accused her husband. John.
Of felonious assault. Mrs. Joos testi-
fed that her husband was const antly
drunk and ill-treating her. Last night
he is alleged to have stabbed her under
meath her right eye with a pocket knife.
Lawyer Alter. who appeared for the
defendant, then asked the woman II she
was not the sister Of McIlvaine. the
murderer Of Grocer 1ucca, Of Brooklyn,
who was electrocuted for his crime.
The question raised the Ire OF Justice
You have no right to ask such ques-
tion," stormed the Court. 1T is an
outrage to put such q question. This
woman Is no more answerable for what
her brother did than you are for what Is
done by members Of your family"
The lawyer persisted in getting an
answer to his question, and Justice
Hogan informed her that she was not
obliged to answer his question.
Mrs. Joos wept bitterly as she replied:
MY husband is constantly haunting
me with that also, and he knows that It
pains me to hear 1t. Your Honor, 1t is
not pleasant thing to think about
anyhow, and no sooner do / forget II
han my husband brings It to my memory
aguin."
The husband smiled at his wifes dis
comtiture. Justice Hogan held him in
default of $1,000 bail for trial.
