AFTER RYAN'S SCALP.
Jefferis Tries to Secure His Arrest for
Perjury.

Jefferis Tries to Secure His Arrest for
Perjury.
George B. Jefferis is still after District
Attorney Ryan's scalp.
AS before stated in this paper, he on
Sunday approached Ryan and accused
him of perjury, and said he was going to
have satisfaction on Ryan for breaking
up his home and causing him to lose his
position.
On Monday he went to Justice Henry's
Office, saying that General Hart had re-
quested him to copy Ryan's complaint
against him, and Justice Henry allowed
him to do so. He then went to Justice
Devine and ask ed for warrant for Ryan's
arrest for perjury, alleging that Ryan
swOre to the complaint charging him
with murder-not stating that it was ION
information and belief" but as if it were
upon his own knowledge.
Justice Devine informed him that the
District Attorney must issue complaint
before he could issue a warrant, and when
he went to Ryan, the latter referred him
to City Attorney Brown.
The latter declined to issue complaint,
being satisfied that there had been no
malice IN the District Attorneys action.
Ii is stated that Jetferis has made several
applications to other officials, but was re-
ferred by them to City Attorney Brown.

Cigarette Smoking.

EDS. RECORD UNION: I am very glad
that the subject of cigarette smoking
among the youths of this place has been
called to public attention through your
valuable columns, as but few of US have
the slightest idea of how prevalent this
habit is among the little ones just grow
ing up here; and if you doubt this take a
stroll any day to where you can find a
lot of little boys by themselves and you
will find them with cigarettes, and plenty
of them. l do not pretend to say that all
boys smoke cigarettes; but [ do say that
one boy who INDUCES in this filthy habit
will ruin dozen if allowed among them,
and there is where the danger lies. Gen
eral MARITIME does not go far enough in
his recommendations; he puts all the
duty of curing or eradicating this evil
upon the Board of Education. Why not
ask the Board of Trustees to pass an
ordinance, as you suggested in your ed
itorial this morning, restricting the sale
of this liie-destroyer? Restriction is put
on the sale of opium and on whisky and
other poisons, and why not upon cigar
cites? a. Il. MORRISON.

PHIL RIEHL'S CLAIM.
Has I. Suucliffe Diploma to Practice
Medicine

Medicine.
The examination of I. Sutcliffe, charged
with practicing medicine without a di-
ploma from the State Board OF Medical
Examiners, and transferred from Frank
lin Township, was held in Justice De-
vines court yesterday afternoon.
The complaining witness in the case is
Philip Riehl, and the alleged otfense was
committed during the month of January,
1893.
The defense was represented by A. 4.
Miller and the prosecution by Deputy
District Attorney j. Charles Jones ana
William NJ. Sims.
Riehl claims that he entered into a con-
tract with Sutclifle whereby the latter
was 10 cure the complaining witness of
rheumatism, but after repeated applica-
tons OF certain compound prescribed
by Sutcliffe the disease refused 10 leave
him.
Other witnesses for the prosecution tes-
tilted that they were led TO believe that
the defendant was physician by hearing
him called Doctor" and also hearing
that he had cured this or that person.
The defendant testified that he was the
authorized agent OF medicine company,
and for the purpose OF advertising the
same he distributed circulars throughout
the county and opened an Office III this
city year or two ago.
The company represented that their
medicines would cure almost an ailment,
and instructed the defendant to apply the
medicine himself in all cases wi ere he
guaranteed a cure. He gave the option to
the patient of either buying the medicine
by the bottle, or, If they preferred, he
would enter into contract in the name
of the medicine company to cure them
with this medicine III certain time or re-
fund their money. He was called doc"
or Doctor by quite number of peo-
pie, which seemed quite natural under
the circumstances, although he claims he
never represented to, or told anyone, that
he was a physician; on the other hand,
had told quite a number of people that he
was not a physician. He did not give any
prescriptions to anyone, but sold the
medicine of the company, and in some
instances applied it himself When he
learned that he was liable to be arrested,
Sutclitfe says he quit selling the medicine
and has sold none since.
In rendering his decision Justice De-
vine said that as Sutcliffe permitted him.
self to be called doctor" it might be
said that be had proiessed to be physi-
clan; that as TO whether he had prescri bed
for the sick was, under the decisions of
the Supreme Court, a question which
should be decided by a jury.
For these reasons he held the defendant
to answer, and fixed the amount of bail
at $3.50, TO be furnished to-day, in the
meantime allowing him to go on his own
recogniZance.

A Satire Upon a Common Failing With 3

It was a glorious April morning.
The girl walked along the sunlit
sidewalk. elastic, hopeful, happy.
Happy because the birds were; be-
cause the flowers were; because all
nature was.
She breathed in the fresh. pure air
as if it were food and tonic to her.
The color played hide-and-seek in
her cheeks. and her eyes sparkled in
the clear sunlight
She was unaccompanied. save by a
dude.
There is world of beauty in it
all, she said as she moved along;
there is glory of color in the sky,
in the grass and the trees and the
flowers; there is promise of every grow
ing thing; there is hope in every bud
and there is sustenance in the sunshine;
there is life and energy and purpose
everywhere"

There is one custom in one of the best

of constantly having a different girl

gained in adapting herself to so great
a variety of her own sex, a girl should
by the time she finishes her course be-
come quite an adept at dinner-table

TOLD our oF COURT.


entertaining Anecdotes About Bench anu
Bar.
The following story is told of limo
thy Coffin, who was for long time
Judge of the New Bedford district:
When very young man he was re-
tanned in case of sufficient Importance
to bring out almost every resident OF
the town; so that the little New Bed
ford courthouse was packed when court
was opened that morning. Coffin had
been secured as counsel by the defend
ant Although it was his first attempt
in open court. he had made little or no
preparation, thinking that he could get
through somehow or other when the
time came Thus, when the counsel
for the defendant came into court that
morning he was greatly surprised and
no less agitated TO see the big crowd
and realize the wide public interest In
the trial at hand. He said that he had
looked upon the case too lightly. The
prosecution was strong, and he had
made not even slight preparation.
To lose the case meant the loss of
a hoped-for reputation Could he at
ford to commit this blunder by dis
playing his ignorance of the case? How
could he get out of it? These
were few of the questions that are
known to have flashed through the
young lawyers head, for afterward
he himself told of the awful perplexity
of the hour. Being a shrewd inventor,
he devised plan, as soon as the court
had been called to order and the crier
had said his little say, he arose and
asked for postponement of the trial,
on the ground that he had just received
a telegram announcing the sudden and
fatal illness of his mother, who resided
at Nantucket.
Scarcely had the words of this APP
peal proceeded from the lips of young
Coffin, when an elderly woman quietly
arose in the balcony of the courtroom
and gave utterance to these words:
Timothy, Timothy, how many times
have I chastised thee for lying?"
Timothy recognized the sound of
that voice too we'll 1t was that of his
mother. This being Timothy's first
public case, the old lady had secretly
come up to New Bedford to see how
well her son would do. Her presence
was, of course, totally unknown to
him. The further developments need
not be recorded here. Suffice it to say
that Timothy Coffin in after years
made sure that his excuses would not
| be thrown back at him by any member
of his own family.-Boston Herald

READING, Kan, May 5.-The central
portion of Lyon county and the

visited by terrible storm last night.
A waterspout broke, flooding the coun-

The devastation of the water was in

Ice formed as it fell twelve inches in
circumference that killed cattle and
ruined the crops. In this town every

reports have been received to the effect
that many persons have been injured

port that several persons were seriously
injured at Olivet
