The Recorders Court Knocked Out.
The reporter of the LIGHT inter-
viewed Col. James p. Newcomb
upon the slump in the District
court upon the cases appealed from
the recorders court. Col. N. said I:
"The decision Of Judge Green
throwing out of court several ap.
pealed cases from the recorders
court because of defective indict-
ments, has rather raised the dig
nifty of the recorders court. Here
tofore the complaints made before
the recorder were considered suf-
ficient to draw in compliance with
article 536, chapter 2, penal code,
to.wit:
"Article 236-The complaint shall
be deemed sufficient without re.
gard to form, If it has these sub
stantial requisites: l. 1t must
state the name of the accused, If
and If not known, must
give some reasonable definite dis
cription. 2. 1t must state that the
accused has committed some of.
tense against the laws Of the state,
the offense, or that the affi- |
ant had good reason to believe,
and does believe, that the accused |
has committed such offense. 3. 1t
must state the time and place of |
;he offense as definite as can be |
lone by the affiant.
"The complaints before the re.
,order comply with these requi-
sites, but Judge Green decides that
here must be the technicality of a
ocular indictment in order to be
rood.
"Out Of 1000 cases before the re-
,order since June LIST, only half a

mother endeavored to force her daughter

Mine is" said the groom, giving his
name. My wife's is" he hesitated, STAN

He turned in desperation To his lemure
little spouse, who was watching him with
an amused smile and blurted out:
Darling, what was your name before
you Were maTried?' He found out but
there was a CHASTITY sound of subdued
smokers all over the office.
Another young man was so filled with
his newly found happiness that he hunted
all over his room for his bran new wedding
umbrella, turned the office upside down,
finally concluding it had been stolen, and
then picked il up from the window sill
against which he was leaning and where it
had laid all the time.

Be Prudent in Buxing Ice.

Ice will soon be necessity in every home,
and we want for your sake to givea word of
caution, and say, get the best, and be sure to
buy from a responsible company. The ice
supplied by the Hygienic Ice Company
responsible and successful home corpora
ion-is freshly frozen every day in the
year from the water coming from the
famous Federal Springs, this water being
subjected to prolonged heat or distilled
the result being that through the prolonged
heat and then the freezing every dangerous
germ is destroyed, for nothing of this sort
is known that can resist both heat and cold.
This distillation not only gives to this ice
its distinctly hygienic ,characte ristic, had
by no other ice sold i'll this city, but it also
secures the beautiful transparency and re-
markable hardness, which together make
this ice superior in every way. "a hint
to the wise is sufficient is old but still true.

SHE RECOVERED HER REASON

Sarah Laggan's Mother Made Mistake
About Her Daughters Sanity.
The case of Sarah Laggan for lunacy was
before jury Thursday, and it was shown
to be a mistake. The writ under which
proceedings Were begun was upon affi-
davit of her mother, Mrs. Mary McGraw,
of No. 1887 L street northwest
When the witnesses were heard it proved
that the girl had been very ill and quite
demented, but now is apparently all right
again.
Thelast witness was Mrs. McGraw herself.
She said Sarah had been quite deranged,
and told some singular things she did
about going to church soon after she was
Ill. But" she concluded, ''she sleeps
well now, eats well, looks well, and is
Well"
The jury returned a verdict that Sarah
is of sound mind. Mrs. McGraw's affidavit
was made just after the Illness.
