We like the sentiments contained in a recent editorial paragraph of the Wind sor Locks Journal, which certain city editors should paste in their scrap books |: The city papers which sheer at their country cousins for publishing accounts of Deacon Jones painting his smoke house, Aunt Sally Coombs having four teeth pulled and Richard Knowitt setting out a new variety of blackberries, ought to take whole Sabbath day to mediate on the rot Chat is published in the city dailies. Columns and columns of stuff are paraded before the world which is not only useless trash but immoral and sensational to almost the point of being criminal.

It Is seldom the click of so many now. ing machines were heard at one time as on Monday week. It seemed as though the grass crop was to be all gathered in short order. The rains beginning on Tuesday afternoon caught more hay than any storm for many years, some having six and seven acres down. Those who cut but few acres had theirs all cut. The continued rains extending over six days means very serious damage, fully one-half it's value and to many who cut but little and wish 1t in good order their disappointment is no slight matter.

Gorham closed her school in East Long sisted of Tecitations, dialogues and sing ing, were witnessed by about 20 visitors and enjoyed by all, and was credit to both teacher and pupils. At the close, Miss Jessie Totten came forward and in | behalf of the school, presented their teacher with a beautiful fan, as token of their love and esteem. After express ing few words in appreciation of their kindness and friendship, Miss Gorham | invited them all to her home on East

 3 o'clock, four teams arrived with the happy children, who at once proceeded
 to play games, and erjoy themselves as | children know so well how to do. About 5.30, all were invited into the spacious I dining room, where the table was loaded

warrant is to be issued to-day charg-
ing Myer B. Newman, the Shylock, with
perjury. Mr.. John B. Miller, who resides
at No. 1926 Tenth street southeast, said
to The Times last night that he had made
an application for warrant to this effect
to Warrant Clerk Washburne, of the po-
lice court, and that he would appear this
morning at 8 O'Clock and ign the necessary
papers.
Mr.. Miller was n witness in the case
against Newman :. o W pending before Judge
Scott, in which Newman is on trial for
doing pawnbroker's business without
license.
In his testimony Mr.. Miller told New
man point blank that he was liar as to
certain statement made by the latter.
There was good deal of testimony taken
but the specific allegation on which the
charge of false swearing will be based is
the following:
In his evidence Newman stated that
when he took the goods of Mr.. Miller
into his possession he removed them to
an auctioneer's office. Mr.. Miller, on the
other hand alleged that the goods were
taken elsewhere, and this he is prepared
TO prove. Mr.. Miller said that he did not
care about stating other points or his proof
The ease for Mr. Miller is in the hands
of MeSsrs. Ralston and Siddnus.
When the application Tor a warrant was
made Mr.. WashbGrne referred Miller TO
Assistant District Attorney Jeffords, who
authorized Mr. Washburne to investigate
the matter and if, after examination OF
the witnesses, the charge was well founded,
to issue the warrant.

on the Long Bridge aud unprotected dens

aud as a consequence very few stra gglers
passed over the scorched plauks to spend
their money in barrooms aud gambling

The question whether or not the busi-

companies throughout the United States
is violation of the anti-lottery law will
be decided probably to-day.

ment will present the governments side to-
day, upon Mr.. Wilson's return from Long
Branch. The Postmaster General will
thenreuder his decision.
Mr.. Butterworth, in his protest against
the denial of the privilege of the mails for
the communication of these companies,
argued against the power of one man to
stop the business of many, which, he said,
was sufficient to produce revolution. 1t
is stated authoritatively at the depart
ment that the adverse decision of the AS
