WILLIAMS SAD PLIGHT.
He Is Obliged to Tell About His
Kissing Episode.

Kissing Episode.
j. NJ. Williams, the gentleman whose
fame as an exponent of the art of oscu-
lation is second only to that of TX issing
Barnes" was placed on the stand yes
terday in the Carpenter divorce trial.
On direct examination he denied the
many stories that were told of him by
witnesses who testified last week. He
was friend of the family. he said, and
had been asked by Mrs. Carpenter to
take charge of her estate He had
sometimes gone into the Carpenter res
idence and left by the back door, but he
meant nothing bad by it. Certainly
not! He denied point blank the charge
of adultery, and stated that the first in.
timation he had that such was to be the
charge was when the complaint was
filed.
On cross-examination Mr.. Williams
did not fare so we'll. He was obliged to
talk about his propensity for kissing.
but SwOre that he did not kiss Mrs.
Carpenter more than once out of every
ten times he saw her. Attorney Har-
rison asked him when he kissed her,
and he replied that he always waited
until the family were present. Then he
kissed the family.
Ibid you kiss all the family?'' asked
Mr.. Harrison.
Mr.. Williams replied: 'Wefi. no; not
exactly the whole family. / didn't kiss
Allan Harmon nor Mrs. Carpenters
brother"
.'What! You didn't?" exclaimed Mr..
Harrison. feigning amazement. did
you kiss the old man?,
The crowd in the court room broke
out into a laugh. MIR. Williams an
swered that he did not kiss the old man.
"Did you ever kiss Mrs. Carpenter
while ON the porch?''
.sNO, sir; did no"
well. why didn't you? You kissed
her in the house."
This made Williams mad, and he
answered sharply: '.Well. Pm not q
natural-born fool. It would have been
improper to have kissed her or any
other woman on the porch like that.''
A look crept into the attorneys eyes
which indicated that he did not, agree
with the witness.

An Excellent Idea.

Assistant City Attorney Dunn is
drafting the civil service ordinance
which Aid. Bradish proposes to Intro.
duce at the next meeting of the council.
The ordinance has for its purpose the
ending of all chickering's and grabbing
of spoils by aldermen 80 far as the en-
ployes of the various departments are
concerned. The ordinance will prevent
the council from interfering with any
city official in tue selection Of his assist.

alderman will be able to promise any
one Of his constituents q job in any
Office. for he will have nothing to do
with the giving Of It. As 1t STANDS now.
city officials are constantly being obliged
to take incompetent employees Justice
cause some alderman wants him there. .,
There is no doubt but Aid. Bradish will
have hard time 10 pass this very

AN EXCITING CONTEST.
The Mckenzie Goodside Matcl

The Mckenzie Goodside Match
Results in Some Rapid Sport.
The entertainment at the Twin City
Athletic club last night was somewhat
of disappointment at the start, for the
reason that the wrestling match set
down between Prof. Lewis and Herman
Smith was declared Off, anu they will
come together at a future date.
The attendance was very fair. how
ever, and the good-natured audience
was more than repaid in the sparring
match that followed between George
Mckenzie and Billy Good side. Both men
We're i'll good form, and the contest was
to have been for ten rounds. When
time was called both men jumped into
the ring, and an aggressive and spirited
contest ensued. The fighting was fast
and furious, and the rounds succeeded
each other in such rapid succession
that even the old-timers found
it difficult to keep cases on tie scientific
points made. Goodside was inclined to
duck, and he went to the floor several
times without being hit.
For this reason the fight was awarded
to Mckenzie in the eighth round. after
a very exciting contest.
