SCHOOL OF REALISM.
Domestic and Other Troubles Heard in
Judge Gould's Court-Souci Leaves
Town.

Judge Gould's court Monday morning
was school of realism. The dock could
hold only portion of those who awaited
Justice, and the seats adjacent were
crowded with men and women who had
been arrested Sunday. The most stirring
scene occurred when Patrick H Parks, a
young man, was tried for assaulting his
wife. The wife told story of severe
abuse. Parks denied it, and his sister
was present to uphold him and denounce
the wife. The wife's mother was at the
bottom of the trouble, she SAID. The
officers said that they had been called
repeatedly to the Parks house to compose
family jars. Souci, the heavy browed
ex-convict from Montreal, Who has been
disturbing the peace of the family. of MIR.
Louis Gauthier, was sentenced to six
months in Jail, but this sentence was sus-
pended on condition that Souci leave the
city at l pm. for Canada.
In detail the results of the session
were:

ga NIGHT IN THE RIGGING. y
Men Wore Yachting Suits and the
Ladies Were SIN Calico Rig.v

A Very Unique Society Event at York's
Sail Loft, the Like of Which Portland
Never Saw Before-A Jolly Place for a
Dance.
Last evening there was a unique socie-
ty event at York's sail lott on Central
wharf. For the first time in the history
ofrthe old staid place of business, hacks
and private carriages drove up, deposited
their freight of bright young men and
handsome young. ladies, and drove off only
to reappear again at late hour when
the merry dance was over.
Up the winding stairs where ancient
shippers and grave owners of vessels had
passed 30 many times, went the light
hearted young people. When they
reached the sail loft the ladies were
simply delighted. The low loft had been
transformed into'a ball room. The floor
was pronounced just right for dancing.
A perfect dream" was the way the
handsomest young lady in the room put
it. There were flags and bunting scat
| tered about There were piles of rope
here and there that made very nice seats
covered as they were with canvass.
Great sails, destined in time to encount-
er the sun filled air of the tropics. or to
be blown in pieces by some off shore
| storm on the Maine coast, made when
brought about post the very ideal seat
for half dozen at once.
The men wore yachting suits, and very
handsome sailors they made. The lad
les wore pretty costumes of Calico The
effect was really fine when the thirty
five couples were on the floor of the big
loft.
The dance orders were as unique as
the ball. They were printed on canvas.
The first page showed a schooner in full
sail. and the following:
A Night In the Rigging
In a Calico Rig.
York's Sail Loft,
March rs, 1895.
1t was a society event in the best sense,
and perhaps those in attendance never
enjoyed very elaborate ball half as
much. The committee worked hard,
their names should have been printed
but they were too modest to allow it to
be done. They even introduced gas, and
the great loft was well lighted. There
was a cloak, room, it is on other occa-
sions private office, and there was a
cute little refreshment stand circled
| with flags and ships colors were dis
played over the heads of the dan GERS.
| will be long time before those who
witnessed the scene will forget it, GER
tainly no one who took part ever will.
1t can safely be pronounced the most
successful social event of the season, and
it is pity that the bright society who
were present, and who so thoroughly
enjoyed every moment did not like to
have their names given. 1t was a pri-
vate party of course. but it is safe, to
say that the first annual event of the
sort will not be the last.

in April.
Niblo's, SO long the fashionable thea

ago the famed Ravel Family held their

tre The last performance within its
walls was given last Saturday night.
Maurice Strakosch, IN his Souvenirs

was then eight years old, made her first
appearan ce in 1850 in charity concert
given in New York under the direction
Of Max Maretzek, and that she then sang
the rondo from LA Sonnam bulan and
the echo song, sung by Jenny Lind. As
Patti was born in 1913, the date given
by Strakosch is undoubtedly erroneous,
and 1851 is the correct one.

Graham guardian., 1895-04-20

THE time was when the Congress
of the United States deliberately
declared that it was lawful, honest,
right and just to pay all forms of
Government obligations in silver
coin. When Justice Stanley Math-
ews was in the United States Sen
ate he presented joint resolution
declaring that all bonds of the
United States issued, or authorized
to be ISSUED by the various acts of
Congress could be paid and were
payable in silver dollars containing
412 IL grains of standard silver,
and that to restore the coinage, of
such silver dollars as legal tender
in payment of said bonds, principal
and interest, is not in violation of
the public faith nor in derogation
of the rights of the public credi-
tors. This resolution was offered
December 6, 1877. 1t was debated
from day to day until January 25,
1878, when it passed the Senate:
yeas, 43; nays, %: IL Senators be-
ing absent. A few days afterward
it passed the House by a vote of
189 yeas to nays 79; "a members
being absent.
Mathews, in support OF his res
olution, said: at is right for the
Government to make this declara-
tion---right in the sense of legal, in
the sense of equitable and in the
sense of moral" Again he said
that in any view he was able to
take, eff we restore the silver dol
lar to its former and accustomed
place in our legislation, in our
coinage and in our currency, we
are still paying the public debt
and all private debts according to
a large and a full and overflowing
measure Of value"

This Is a snake Story.

In the month of July four or five
years ago was out shooting forican
with friend of mine in Guzerat. We
had fairly good luck, and as we were
making our way to the railway station
to catch the early train back to Ahme-
dabad noticed my friend, who was
shooting in line ON my left, suddenly
point his gun at something on the
ground and fire, and on asking what it
was he said it was large black cobra
and that he had shot it in two pieces,
the head portion disappearing down a
hole. AS we were in hurry to catch
the train we went on, but very soon
heard one of the beaters calling out
and looking back saw him running
toward us with the head portion of the
snake following him, with the hood ex-
panded. 1t appeared that he had re-
manned behind, trying to dig out the
cobra, and the result was that it came
out of the hole and went for him. OF
course the snake could not get much
pace on and was quickly killed. Jour

A Trip to Ft. Grant.

Judge r. e. Wilson, who Dis
trict Attorney Jones sent to Fort
Frant last week to conduct the ex-
animation on the part of the Ter
ritory against L. E. Leach, accused
of the crime of rape, was inter.
viewed by a GUARDIAN reporter,
and he says that he found that the
crime of rape and adultrey both
had been committed; or at least
one Chandler, a married man went
upon the stand and testified that
he, during the month of June, 1894
had casual knowledge of one Mag
gle Donovan, a minor girl 1a
years old, and not being satisfied
with this damnable testimony
against himself, he proved the
same by his wife. This paralyzed
Judge Eldridge and all the officers
of the post, and dumconfounded
Wilson, and they brought the ex.
animation to close by discharg.
ing Leach and agreeing to take
the matter before the Grand Jury
Judge Wilson speaks in the
highest praise of the commander
of the post, Col. Arnal, the Adju-
tant and Capt. Hayle, 1st cavalry
and his Lieutenant, and says he
was never treated with more kind
ness than while in the post.

THE FARM.

Many years ago we heard farmers
in a wheat-growing section say that
it cost no more for th em to grow a
bushel of wheat than a bushel of
shelled corn. 1t was just after the
completewheatharvesting machines
came into use, and these farmers
doubtless reckoned the labor of
cultivating and harvesting the corn
crop as more than offsetting its
large yield per acre. 1t does not
cost as much to cultivate an acre of
corn as 1t used to do. The cost of
growing an acre of wheat has in
creased, for it must now have a
dressing of phosphate. But the
wheat crop is more certain than it
used to be. The fine middlings
made from wheat in Touring
makes excellent hog feed. So, too,
does whole wheat when ground and
mixed with ground corn. By COM
bining these two feeds a good deal
of the wheat crop may be profita-
bly, fed to hogs unless wheat prices
are higher than they have lately
been.
While fruit culture is good busi-
ness it is yet quite true that very
many men fail in it, but, if we would
investigate all these cases closely
we think that at the bottom ofmost
of them would be found some causes
which might have been avoided,
| Ignorance of the business is one of
the most common of these. Many
a fairly good farmer would make q
very Indifferent fruit grower, be-
cause he would not understand, in
time, how much more minute are
the processes of the latter occupa-
tion. Undertaking too much al
the start is another prolific cause Of
failure. 1t is much easier to plant
a large fruit acreage than to cul
tivate it properly afterward. Ig
norance of the cultural needs oftht
diffe rent plants, and the short cuts
which enable the accomplishment
of the labor without too great ex
pense, also often bring well mean
endeavors to financial sdisasters
There is but one certain road t(
success, and that is to begin in {
small way and work up carefully
learning each step as you go. Mer
who do this find both profit ant
satisfaction in the business.
Graham guardian., 1895-04-20

A VITAL question is who shall
supply the increasing demand for a
circulating medium? Shall corpor-
ations made up of capitalists be
created and intrusted with this
delicate function, or shall the Gov
ernment, whose duty it is "to coin
money and regulate its value"
make provision for any deficiency
in coin circulation? If corpora
tions, the profits incident to the
supplying of the currency go direct
ly into the pockets of the rich;if the
Government, then the benefits ac-
crue to the whole people. The
GUARDIAN firmly adheres to the old
doctrine of JEFFERSON and JACKSON
that whatever circulates as money
shall be supplied by the Govern
ment. 1t has no sympathy with
the policy which would give con-
troll of the circulation to banks.
There never will be too much gold
and silver, and we have no fears
that our rich and great Govern
ment will ever issue currency be-
yond its capacity to keep at par
with coin.
