BOSTON, Aug. 16.-Pasquale Garofolo,
who on June "a tried to murder his bride

His counsel told the court that the couple

George Shirley Left Manchester Some
Time Ago Under Cloud.
Thought at That Time That
He Had Eloped.
Finally Located and Arrested by Boston Police
on Enforcement Charge.

MANCHESTER, N. H., Aug. 16.-Gcorgc
II. Shirley, who was arrested In Boston
for the alleged embezzlement of $1,000
OF this city, disappeared under shady cir
curnstanoes Aug. z, 1893.
He was foreman Of the cutting room,
and had been trusted employ for sew
eral years 1t was Shirley's duty to pay off
the help In his department. Each hand
kept small book, which contained a
take the aggregate amount OF work on
books and collect the total at the Office TO
distribute among the help.
He had an excellent opportunity TO de-
fraud the company by adding small sum
to each account, collecting the total and
paying to the men only what their books
called for. After he had gone 1t was found
that he had cmbzzled $500 of the firms
money In this way.
Shirley lived at $50 Valley street. with
his wife and two children. He was 45
years old. He went to work Monday
morning, Aug. z, 1893, and left the shop
soon after
without Giving Notice ut the ONCE.
Shirley was alleged to have been quite
intimate with u woman who roomed in
block on Hanover street, and 1t was sur
missed at the time that he had elOped with
her. The Saturday before Shirley disap-
peared the woman gave notice that she
was going away and would not want the
room longer. Monday afternoon she gave
UP the key and went away, taking every
thing belonging to her. Shirley was seen
Monday afternoon. He came out of the
Hanover street block. This was the last
seen of him. From that time to this
nothing has been heard Of Shirley by his
wife.
A Boston dispatch stated that he had
been given over to the officers of this
city, but the Manchester officers didn't
know "a thing about it until they were
shown the Boston dispatch. Neither had
the arrest been made Mt their request, nor
had Shirley been delivered over into their
hands.
1t Is learned that the captured embezzlcr
may not be brought here at all 1t is
likely that the case will be settled before
the fall term Of the court. If not by that
time Shirley will then come in for at
tention.
Shirley was living at 81 Appleton street,
Boston, when arrested by the Boston in
spectors He had been watched for some

HER HUSBANDS SERVANT.
Only as Such Can Mrs. Toy zee Return
to This Country.

Because the new Chinese treaty
makes no specific provision for eStab-
fishing the status of Chinese woman
who may desire to leave this country
with intention to return, says the Phil
adelphia Record. Mrs Toy. zee. the
wife of Lee Hoe, a wealthy Race street
merchant, has applied to Collector
Read for permission 60 accompany her
husband 10 China in the capacity Of a
servant.
Some weeks ago Lee Hoe sold out his
business TO Lee Chow, and determined
TO make visit with his wife TO their
old home, near Hong Kong. Lee Hoe
has been registered with Internal Rev
enue Collector Doyle, and his creden-
tials as a merchant, with some thou
sands of dollars to his credit, were all
right II was the intention of Lee Hoe
and his wife to remain in China not
longer than year, and when they filed
their applications for privilege TO re-
turn with Collector Read. and gave him
their photographs. they were surprised
70 find that there was "a Barrier against
Mrs. Toy zee. The law was plain
enough 50 far as Lee Hoe was con-
cerned, but nothing was said about the
wives Of Chinese merchants. The law
did say that the servants of merchants
might enjoy the same rights as their
masters, so Mrs. Toy zee bought new
hat. arranged herself in true American
fashion before photographers camera,
and soon brought her picture TO the
collectors Office, where il was fled
with her husbands photograph. and
the whole matter given 10 the special
treasury agents for investigations.
The treasury agents have reported
favorahly and Mrs. Toy zee will leave
for Hong Kong via Richfield Vt, in a
few days. The government takes a
liberal view Of the case and looks upon
the husband and wife as one. but the
safeguard Of strict compliance with the
law has been adhered TO.

A LAWYER on LIBEL SUITS
He Takes Few Good Raps at the Shyters
In His Profession.

a
In His Profession.
Libel suits seem to be an Improbable
sort of amusement, said a leading lawyer
of Rochester y. Y to reporter of the
Democrat and Chronicle recently.
"Msny Of these actions for libel are
brought against the press without ade-
quate cause and in majority Of cases are
only instituted for the purpose of causing
the paper annoyance, or else in the hope
that the publishers sued will pay some
thing to settle the case without the bother
of trial. Very few actions for libel are
brought simply and purely to secure "A vim
dicatlon of character.
Most of them are simply for the pur-
pose of pecuniary gain on the part of the
plaintiff or the LAWYER whom he employs,
and, as said before, such suits do not
seem to afford a great deal of profit to their
| instigators am pleased to that reputa-
bic newspapers are refusing to be held up
by the threat Of libel suit, and have
adopted the plan of contestlng every case
of this kind, even to the court Of last re.
sort.
LAS matter of fact, however, very few
ever reach trial. When the plaintiffs see
that the game of bluff they have essayed
does not work, they fail to appear in court
and the action goes down.
you see there are lawyers and lawyers.
1 You newspaper men have your jokes about
the shortcomings of the legal profession,
and, unfortunately, it has a foundation Of
fact. There are as many honorable men
in the legal profession rs in airy other call.
ing in which men engage, but there are
some disreputable lawyers it must be con.
fessed, and in nine times out of ten these
are the men who undertake the libel suits
against the newspapers.
"There are so-called lawyers who make
it a business to read the newspapers every
day in search Of some story or some ex-
preston that can be construed as libelous,
and when they find anything of that kind
they hurry away to the person named and
persuade him that he has been grossly
wronged and should commence an action
for libel In many cases the man would
never have dreamed that he bad been ii.
beled, had not the shyster lawyer talked
him into the idea.
Then the lawyer offers TO take the case
on speculation, he TO receive his pay if
successful in bleeding the newspaper. and
nothing if he fails The lawyer hopes to
get the newspaper to buy him off, as a
general thing, for he has no case. As a
speculative measure, however, the libel
suit business offers very little hope of
profit The newspapers do not buy oil
the litigants and they seldom lose case
when tried in court.
There is seldom any necessity for
bringing An action for libel. Ii is rare
that suitable correction, such as any
reputable paper will readily make will not
accomplish more than dozen libel suits
and the reparation comes more quickly
and carries with il more weight than the
verdict of jury.

THEY WHISTLE.

The gold-bug papers are Al present
engaged in whistliug to keep mp their
courage on the financial question They
continue to tell The people that times

is already subsiding. All this they can

million copies have been sold, the sale
on the one book, Coins Financial
school, having exceeded half a million
copies. When last heard from the book
was selling at rate, continually in
creasing of seven thousand copies per
day. This fact certainly indicates that
the masses are reading the free silver
side of the question. Whereas. one
year ago comparatively small MINOR
ity of the voters of Michigan favored
free silver; today, it is safe to say, five
sixths of all the voters are for free sill
yer. The strong undertow of public
opinion cannot be affected by the SUI
