his hand and eye it carefully. Then he
will walk before a glass and put it

Mineral Biotting paper.

Mineral blotting stone is novelty.
1t was exhibited at the meeting of the
National Academy of Sciences recently
III session al Washington. On the desk
Of one of the scientists was thin slice of
light Colored stone. He used it for
blottrr, and it absorbed ink better than
any bibulous paper. 1t was a piece of
the new mineral blotting stone, soon to
be put on the market by a Missouri
firm. The stuff is formation com
posed Of sediment deposited By certain
hot springs. 1t has been accommodating
for ages in the locality mentioned, and
is available in inexhaustible quantities.
Highly porous, it will take up surpris-
ing quantity OF ink. The merchant will
employ it incidentally as Il paper
weight, and occasionally the office boy
will scrape it off with knife-an easy
task, the substance being very soft
making it as good as new.

the German colored Glassware, which
far exceled some Of the most noted
French specimens. The production of
this beautiful coloring Is rare art
which has come down to the German
gIassbIowcrs of to-day through many
generations. The apparatus used is a
sheet iron cylinder, 20 inches long and
5 inches diameter, standing vertically,
and having a similar cylinder riveted
across the top, thus forming T-shaped

DRIaas DIVORCE CASE.

Colonel Burpss is Exonerated - Main | Charge Against tho Defendant Not
 Proved.
 1. Ex-Chief Justice Parke, referee in the long g-contested and sensational Driggs VI, Driggs divorce case, yesterday hand cd in his report. Referee Parke finds that the main charge against the de- defendant, Mrs. Annie Driggs of Water bury has not been proved This exon- crates Lieutenant Colonel Lucien F. Burpee of the Second regiment, c. N. G., the correspondent in the case, and vindicstss both him and Mrs. Driggs of any improper conduct. The report speaks in no measured term of Driggs action in charging his wife with ihadel- fly without any grounds therefor. !
 The referee In his report states that the plaintiff was suspicious Of trines and exceedingly jealous, and based his suspicious on mere trifles Then as 10 the charge of incompetence sx-Jpdge Parke finds that Mrs. Driggs was habit ually addicted to the use of intoxicants and stimulants, and was treated at Il we'll known institution for this trouble. She had thus used stimulants owing to her anxiety and nervousness over her family affairs, for the two years last preceding the bringing of this com plaint. Ex-Justioe Parke also leaves it for the court to decide. Whether her reformation is temporary or lasting tho committee is unable to decide. They are also unable to decide whether or not Mrs. Driggs In her cross bill alleg- ing intolerable cruelty has not proved her charges under the law. He says practically that Drigg's conduct In turning his wife out of his house with out a moments notice and making charges against her character, for which he had no substantial foundation, may constitute cruelty under the law. Ex- Judge Parke does not attempt to say whether Mrs. or Nr. nriggs is most en- titled to a decree, but leaves this to the court to decide, Hb@

REV. DR. SMITH
On the New Nolis Powers.

Rev. Dr. smyth said yesterday; T am sratihed to learn that the judges of the superior court have reoom- mended the rule limiting the use of the nolle power as reported in the pa pers. presume that prosecuting ofii- csrs generally will be glad to have the responsibility somewhat more clearly dsinsd by the court. and none more % than the prosecuting attorney Of our court of common pleas. MT. Gum. whose use of his discretionary, powers in this particular has been better than the record of many other prosecuting attorneys. and who, to my personal knowledge as juror. can prosecute a liquor case with great ability as well as fidelity to his official trust. & i
 The decision of the judges covers. as I understand it. the main points of our contention. which was that the payment of moneys In excess of costs Is payment or part payment of dnes. rests on no true legal foundation, and. as is fur ther held. is prejudicial to the public good in it's practical effect. We re- garded 1t as an unnatural compromise with the law, the custom which al- lowed person under indictment to escape upon payment of fine, which was imposed by no judicial decision, and which carried with 1t no record of conviction. Under the limiting rule now recommended by the judges the prosecuting attorneys can still exercise their proper discretionary power in nolung a case, but they cannot in the name of the state collect 6 fine without judgment by the court. ',I. Under the new rule, if understand 1t correctly, a defendant, conscious of in- nocencs, might still claim of the prose- cutting attorney absolute nolle without payment of costs or trial with his chances of acquittal by the court.
 So far as am competent to judge, think the practical effect in liquor cases will be to render the execution of the law more efflcacious. What the Law and Order league aims to accomplish is to, prevent justice from being side tracked. and when . legal train is fair ly started to see 1t clear through For this purpose we think that some side tracks in the administration loi law might bs pyofitahly abandoned,. and that the Keys to all legal switches should be placed in the hands only of competent and honest officials. Some switchmen of the processes of law csr- tainly will bear watching.
 Secretary Thrashsr of the Law and Order league thought that the action of the judges was Q great point gained and thought it would result in natertally decreasing the number of nohAs. > 7
