usURY DENOUNCED.
Judge Mcpherson Scores Outside Building
Associations.

Associations.
HARRISBURG, Pa, May 2O.-There has
been tried before Judge Mcpherson the
case Of the New York Building and
Loan Association against David Slaugh-
ter. The plaintiff Is New York cor
poration doing a 80 called building asso.
citation business in this State. The
action was to recover from Slaughter
the sum af $4,000, which had been
loaned by the plsintiff to him on mort.
gage, the dues, fines and interest on
which amounted to a sum in excess OF
twelve per cent. per annum on the prin-
cipal.
The defense was that the foreign
corporation has no right to do business
as building association in this State,
and that all interest, ETC., in excess of
six per cent. per annum Is usury. The
defense WAS sustained by the court,
and verdict of S3.74o.4i In favor of
the plaintiff (being the amount OF prin-
cipal due by Slaughter with per cent.
INTEREST," was rendered by the jury, sub
ject, however, to the reserved question
OF law whether there can be any recoy-
cry at all in the action, which was q
proceeding on the mortgage.
In his charge to the jury Judge Nc
Pherson seid that associations like the
plaintiffs are scattered all over the
country, and what their character Is
and by whom they are managed nobody
knows. They send their agents to our
State" he said, land undertake and
agree to do business with our citizens
and lend them money. They undertake
to violate our laws, and 1t Is much to be
feared that in some instances they have
| gone further than the violation of the
usury laws and have become traps for
the unwary. They have no right to
como here and mako contracts upon
which they can collect more than six
per cent. interest, and l think If 1t was
definitely understood that they could
not charge more than six per cent In
tereat they would soon change their
field OF operations. In my Judgment
we would be the gamers by that. l, for
one. would be heartily glad to see them
| all leave.

His TRIAL Postponed and Ball Removed by
Justice Wills.
LONDON, May 3O.-The Old Bailey
court was crowded to-day when Justice
Wills, accompanied by the Lord Mayor
of London, Right Hon. Sir Joseph
Renals and several aldermen took their
seats upon the bench preparatory to the
commencement of the second trial OF
Oscar Wilde. who is charged with sert-
Gus misdemeanors. Wilde has pre-.
viouslY been driven to Old Bailey. He
was accompanied by Lord Douglass, of
Haiiwick, and Rev. Stewart Headland,
his two bond men. He looked bag
gard, but apparently improved In health
since his release on bail and walked
smilingly into the prisoners dock.
where he took his stand beside Alterd
Taylor, who 10 charged with similar
offenses.
Sir Edward Clarke. Q. c., counsel for
Wilde, Immediately made an elaborate
argument in favor Of having Wilde
tried separately. The Judge agreed to
this and decided TO try Taylor first
Sir Edward Clarke then dwelt at
length on the great injustice which was
done to his client by having to wait
while Alfred Taylor was tried. But in
spite OF the argument OF his counsel,
Wilde looked only too pleased as he
stepped from the dock and the Judge
allowed his bail to be renewed and he
was again released from custody after
filing his personal bond in the sum of
sl2, 500 and finding two securities, Lord
Douglass, of Haiiwick, and the Rev.
Stewart Headlam, in S6,250 each.
It Is now probable that Wilde's case
will go over until next session of the
Central criminal court and there ia evil
IDENTIFY but slight chance OF his con-.
viction. In consequent indiR nance COM
| ment Is heard on all sides at the turn
events have taken. In the meanwhile
the trial OF Alfred Taylor proceeded.

Steel, general secretary Of the Epworth
League of the Methodist Church, and
editor of the Epworth Era, the organ of
the league, published at Nashville,
Tenn.
DR.. Steel, in On address OF an hour
and half, which was full of instruc-
ton and amusement, spoke OF the origin
and work Of the Epworth League and
Its Intentions and objects. A few years

youngspeople's societies of the Metho-
dist Church into one, and the name.
Epworth League, was given 1t, 80 that
| now the league was an integral part of
the church and a part of its economy.

Houston, Texas, the citizens prepared
| for 300 delegates and 5000 came. One
brother fixed room for two guests and
had to entertain thirty-two. This

Few people are aware that woman

1T is a fact, nevertheless" continued
Mr. Beck. 1T was-well never mind the
year but I was then secretary of state
and court was being held in Sacramento.
Judge Wallace was on the bench and

the session was Col. shafter and a num>

Since you have been in Sacramento you

seat
"Oh, yes, I'll come" returned Miss SHAFT
ter, and the subject was dropped. and 1
am sure Judge Wallace never dreamed
that the invitation would be accepted.
About an hour afterward Miss Shafter.
accompanied by one Of the officers Of her
fathers stan, came to my Office and said
that she wanted to go to the supreme
court Would l take her? With pleasure.
And away we went. A young attorney
was arguing a case when we entered the
court. He did not notice us as we quietly
seated ourselves, and went on with most
brilliant eloquence. Judge Wallace laid
his hand on the arm Of the empty chair

tending his hand, escorted her to the va

coed. That young attorney, though, lost
his head and afterwards lost his case.

the dinner that evening he conferred with
the new judge and insisted on her oocu.

A clever stnee Deception.

cation had been neglected, and 1t was
found necessary to resort to some stage
trickery to get over his shortcoming. The
piano on which the rascally Svengah

that ever lived between two shells and the
music really proceeds from a piano pos
scssed of all its faculties, which Is located
not far away behind the scenes thumped

with those of the genuine piano thumper
that the deception can not be noticed by

The legends. quaint customs, and super

many and curious. Ask a scandinavian
why salmon are red and have such fine
tails. You will be told that the rudy color
of the FISH is due to the fact that when
heaven was on fire the gods threw the
flames into the water and the salmon
swallowed them. The deicacy Of the sal
