SPOKANE, WASH, November 8.-Judge
j. q. Moore gave Attorney j. j. Fitzger-
aid vigorous shaking this afternoon,
and the latter is laid up for repairs. The

the Judge, making insinuating remarks
to him. The Judge warned him to stop,
but he turned forward in threatening
manner. Moore then grasped him by
the coat lapel and shook him vigorously.
Fitzgerald fell to the sidewalk, and in
the fall his cheek was cut and his eye
blackened.

THE SALE WAS VALID.
The Last Maybe of the Haytian Repub-
lie Case.

The Last Maybe of the Haytian Repub-
lie Case.
PORTLAND, November Judge Bel
linger rendered decision yesterday in
the United States District Court in the
case of Price & Wheeler, who sought to
obtain possession of the steamer Hay
tian Republic on the grounds that they
were the best and highest bidders at the
sale, and charging that there had been
collision and conspiracy between the
United States Marshal and Sutton &
Beebe, through which the vessel was
awarded to the latter. 1t will be remem-
bered that Price & Wheeler bid SIG, 900,
which was $50 more than the bid of SUIT
ton & Beebe, but they only had $4,000
ready to pay on the purchase.
The court held that the sale was adj.
vertised for cash at an upset price OF
$4,000, and, therefore, any intending
bidder should have prepared himself
with at least that amount OF money or
its equivalent. Under the circum-
stances, therefore, plaintiffs were not de-
ceived and could not claim that the Mar
shall had misled them in any respect.
It did not appear that the Marshal had
subjected the petitioners to inconven-
fence in the payment required not neces-
sarily incident to any sale, and which
they could not provide against and to
which all other bidders were not equally
subject. It did not appear that the
Marshal had acted unfairly to them In
any way. The fact that he was at first
willing to waive cash payment as to
Sc, $50 of the purchase, but subsequently,
and while the situation of the petition
ers remained the same, receded from
that position, as he might probably do,
was evidence of this. The exceptions to
the petitions were allowed.
Mr.. Mallory, counsel for the petition
ers, gave notice of his intention to APP
peal.
The decision of the court was very
gratifying to Messrs. Sutton q Bee6e, as
Il exonerates them and Marshal Grady
from what they regard as the unjustifia-
BILE charge of collision.

SELLING LIQUOR TO INDIANS.
The Government Now Finding This
DifacuIt Matter to Stop.

The Government Now Finding This
Difficult Matter to Stop.
WASHINGTON, November THE In
dian Office is finding it difficult matter
to prevent the sale of liquor to Indians.
The most difficult problem that has been
presented is recent court decision, IN
which it is declared that Indians who
have taken their lands in severalty are
citizens of the United States, and that it
is no longer contrary to law to sell them
honor. Two or three decisions have al
ready been made to that effect, and the
notice of Judge Edgerton OF South Da-
kota to the United States grand jury to
present no more indictments against
persons selling liquor to Indians on ale
fcttod lands looks as if the courts were
going to take the view of the case that
no restrictions should be placed on In
dion citizens.

CHILD ENTERTAINERS.
They Are Employed by Many London
Society Leaders.

Lady Violet Greyille in London
Graphfc:-Fain would I utter my pro
test against child-entertainers, those
poor little mites with pale cheeks, sunk
ell eyes and old faces who are expected
to amuse n mixed company with music
hall patter and cOSter dfttieS. If the
little creatures understand what they
sing, voc betide them; it is terrible
to contemplate their future. If they
do not, they are no better than we'll
trained monkeys and ought to give less
pleasure to a grown-up audience.
Child-life is beautiful in itself in its
natural grace and Inconsistencies and
innocent selfishnesa, but a child who
mods and winks and intOnates like y
low comedian, with !leering glance,
abusive gestures and a %repertory Of
double meaning is to me positively re
pulsive. Clever, no doubt, the perform
is, and, perhaps, it may do the
childs moral nature no great harm, but
suffer it must in it's physical ~constitu-
ton.
Dragged from party to party, spend
ing it's life in possible excitement,
spoiled by the guests, fed on cakes and
sweetmeats, breathing the vitiated air
of hot rooms and educated in an at
mosphere of slang. low fun and hard
work, there can be little hope of a
healthy and happy future for it. II

who understand what they
and are able to take care of them
