CHARGED WITH PERJURY.
The Manager of a Theatrical Company
Placed Under Arrest

flaced Under Arrest.
DENVER. March 3l.-Otto C. FlotO. the
manager of The Old Tennessee Com
pany, has been arrested in this city at
the request of Detective Scotto of Butte,
Mont. The charge against Floto is per-
jury, and the claim is that be jumped his
bond when he left Butte. His trouble in
Butte was the result of the warm contest
which took place last fall in Montana
over the proposed removal of the State
Capital from Helena to Anaconda. Floto,
it is said, registered often. He was
arrested and put under $500 bonds.
The trial was set for March 9th, the otfi-
GERS say, and he was not there to appear.
Floto said he had been in Helena almost
year. Seeing an opportunity to make
some money, he organized The Old
Tennessee Company, and started upon
tour with the company. He went from
Butte to Anaconda, Salt Lake and finally
10 Denver. He was much surprised, ap-
parently, at being arrested.
tlotO has been somewhat prominent in
sporting circles as manager of pugiIists.

RECALLS LINCOLN'S DEATH.

Capt. Silas Owen, of Cohoes,
N. Y, owns valuable bit of yellow
pasteboard that reads: "Ford's
Theatre, Friday, Orchestra, Section
d, No. I73." 1t is the coupon for
his reserved seat in the theatre the
night Lincoln was shot, thirty years
ago. Capt Owen says: 81 was
Captain at that time of the Primrose,
of the Potomac hotilla, and my execu-
tive officer was William H. Flood,
whose home is in Washington. Flood
and | went TO the theatre that night
together, and by the merest accident
left our side arms on leaving the
Navy yard. If we had brought them
Booth might never have escaped from
the scene Of the assassination, as he
was within easy pistolshot of us in
his hurried flight, and Flood especially
was quick and accurate shot. Our
seats were on the right of the main
aisle and just three rows back of the
musicians" According to Capt.
Ovens story Flood instantly climbed
over the box parapet and was helped
by Miss Harris, of Albany, N. Y,
daughter of United States Senator
Ira Harris. He raised the Presidents
head, which had dropped down upon
his breast, and was the first man in
the audience to reach the scene. Miss
Laura Keene, the star of the play, al
SO got there in a few seconds. The
assassin rushed by her and made a
jab at her with a dirk that slightly
cut her sleeve. The story that Miss
Keene's dress was all stained with

though it obtained wide circulation
Col. Rathbone, who was also in the
box with the President, met an un,

Chicken Lore,

Ordinarily chicks raised with hens
are harder, as it is so easy to neglect
brooders. But give the chicks in the
broodet as good care as the hen does
her brood, and there will be no differ
ence. BY the artificial methods, es-
pecially in raising broilers, chicks are
forced ahead at much more rapid
rate than when in charge of hen.
The average hen lays best in spring
and the early part Of summer. The
practical poultryman, however, by
good housing, good ieed and good
management, has his hens divide up
their product more, so that the results
are more even throughout the fall and
winter as we'll as the rest Of the year
up to molting time.
A broiler is a chick Of II to q
pounds in weight, and anything over
that is classified as a spring chicken,
according to Farm Poultry.

USURY DENOUNCED.
Judge Mcpherson Scores outside Build
ing Associations Doing Business
in This State.

Last week there was tried before
Judge Mcpherson at Harrisburg the
case of the New York Building and
Loan Association against DAVID
Slaughter. The plaintiff is a New
York corporation doing a SO called
building association business in this
State. The action was to recover
from Slaughter the sum of $500,
which had been loaned by the plain
tiff to him on mortgage, the dues,
fines and interest on which amounted
to a sum in excess Of twelve per cent.
per annum on the principal.
The defense was that the foreign
corporation has no right to do business
as a building association i'll 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 a verdict of Sa74o a. in
favor Of the p'aintiff (being the amount
of principal due by Slaughter with six
per cent. interssD was rendered by
the jury, subject, however, to the re.
served question of law whether there
can be any recovery at all in the &C
ton, which was proceeding on the
mortgage.
In his charge to the jury Judge Nc
Pherson said that associations like the
plaintiffs are scattered all over the
country, and what their character is

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 come
here and make contracts upon which
they can collect more than six per
cent. interest, and | think if it was
definitely understood that they could
not charge more than six per cent.

has been done to the Pennsylvania

it is too early to estimate the extent

so great as at first suggested. This is
especially true in relation to the in,
