SOME BAD MEN.

Gotten and Wool Dealers Have a
Matinee Before Justice Jones
II all cotton, wool and hide buy
ers have such time, as evidence
showed in Justice Jones' court yes.
terday afternoon their vocation is
indeed not pleasant one. Fully
two hours were consumed before
His Honor in a case in which A.
Wolfson complains Of A. Cohn,
George Hirsch and I. Strauss, ac-
cusing Cohn of having threatened
to do bodily harm to complainant,
and praying that he be placed I'M
der a peace bond.
From the evidence it is learned
that all the parties are dealers in
wool, cotton, hides, ETC., and ply
their vocation on Military plaza.
Wolison and his brother, Nathan
iel, form a partnershipin this kind
OF business.
Quite number Of witnesses
were examined. One witness, es-
peclally, created much excitement
in court, and even His Honor had
all he could do to refrain from
joining in the fun. The witness
gave his name as J. Landa, a dry
goods merchant of Military plaza,
and Of the regular "but-its-too-ex-
pensive" type. Whiskers had
broken out all over his face, and
his hair was on the Paderewski or
der, only a trifie lighter.
This is about as near as the
LIGHTS expert shorthand man
could come in taking down Mr..
Lsnda's testimony: "Oh, Mein
Colt! Yes, dem Wolfson's is bad
men. Idon't want nudding to do
NIT dem. They are related to me,
but l would be gladder il 1 wasn't
related to dem. One uf dem want
ed to kill me one time und l was
afraid efer since. 1 wush you would
allow me to buy a pistol" Here
County Attorney Dewitt advised
him not to, as it might cost him
some money to buy gun.
The case was submitted to the
court without argument, and JUS
tice Jones discharged the defend
ant, saying that he could not see
why he should be placed under a
peace bond.

No trimming is prettier when it is fresh
nor more dismal looking when it is de-

In spite of the lightness and glitter of
black spangles, of which such immense
quantities are used, jet seems to hold its
place in public esteem, being richer If not
so brilliant, and is seen on many of the
seasonable gowns as well as in millinery.
The fashion of ornamental holes, exem-
plitied during the winter in heavy cloths
with cut out patterns, has invaded the
realm of thin fabrics, and now chiffons

picture. What effect has good play upon
the human mindS Upon the adult the
same as a spirited address by an inspired
orator, like Wendell Phillips, In a great
crisis. In youth it arouses the happy,
buoyant, chivalrous emotions, such as a
perusal of Walter Scott's "Ivanhoe" or
Count Robert of Paris is sure to do.
Such plays make men and women the bet
ter for their presentation. They develop
the best impulses of their natures.
That such plays can be made to pay Is
evidenced by the overlooking houses which
greeted in days gone by Forrest, Mac
Cready and the elder Booth in their i'm
presentations of Virginius, Spartacus, Ju-
Illus Caesar and other heroic characters In
recent times, too, 1 can mention five clean
plays of lighter mold than those have
just enumerated which have attained
greater, more pronounced and more en-
during success than any of the tainted
dramas from abroad. These are "Shen-
andoah, ""Hazel Kirke, ~ 1.-The Bankers
Daughter, Henrietta" and 1.-The SEN
ator.
All kinds Of clean plays can be made the
medium through which moral can be adj
duced, but as a mental tonic, pure and
simple, believe comedy is by far the best.
Good comedy is like good wine 1t should
effervesce. When it abounds in comic sit
uations, sparkles with bright dialogue and
is redolent with wit and humor, it has the
same effect upon the jaded intellect as
champagne has upon the exhausted ath-
lete. 1t arouses mental and physical &C.
tivity and is as good as tonic to a ma
larial patient. AS most Of our business
and professional men are at the end of
their days hunt after gold or glory pretty
well tuckered out mentally and physical
ly, hold that bright, wholesome comedy
is about the best medicine they can take
l think it suits their case-and they are the
bulwark to the theater-better than the
most sterling tragedy or most refined
melodrama. Humor exhilarates it elevates
the senses. Pathos tends to depress, and
as most of our successful men have had at
some time or other in their lives hitter ex-
.perience with the 'slings and arrows of
outrageous fortune" recurrence of sor-
rows similar to theirs portrayed upon the
stage certainly won't cheer their spirits IL
it does arouse their interest
In thus writing freely upon a subject
dear to my heart, as it is to that of every
actor, it must not be thought that have
attempted to set myself up as an authority
nor an arbiter elegantiarum regarding
dramatic matters. am simply doing

mean that he could possibly lift that
weight. AS the anthropologicaI commit
tee that perfected the system says, 1.-The
total strength is purely an arbitrary and
relative rather than an actual test of the
strength, as It's name would indicate, and
while confessedly imperfect it seems de-
cidedly advisable that there should be some
method of comparison which does not de-
pend entirely on lifting a dead weight
against gravity or steel springs" What is
really considered is the ability to use the
muscles of the body to the best advantage.
Lane excels in lung strength and in the
dip and pull up, which means great
strength of chest and upper arms. Klein
could only pull himself up. ten times,
while Lane did it As times The number
of dips Lane did was 40, while Klein dip
ped but 90 times. In the remaining meas
urements the Harvard man led.
Lane is in no sense a giant, for he weighs
but 50pounds and stands feet ~ inches
in height. He is one of the best scholars
at Amherst, standing among the first
three of his class in scholarship during his
entire course. He will graduate in June.

mainly of ruffles and ruchings of GRAPE

ribbon and will even boast of flowers, it is
said.
Almost all the new capes are single
Nobody seemed to take kindly to the dou-
BILE ones brought out last winter, and that
fashion seems to have languished into OBJ
sourity. The capes are trimmed about the
shoulders and around the neck, and in the
case of silk or satin are adorned with ap-
plications of jet embroidery. If the cape
be mounted on yoke, the yoke may be
framed by plated flounce cut in scallops
or points.
Plaids are not only employed for sepa-
rate bodices, but are also seen in combina-
tion with plain goods in some of the new
spring gowns, the plaid being introduced
in the skirt as we'll as in the corsage.
A fancy has revived for full gauze tuck
ers" in decollete bodices. They are of the
thinnest possible goods, often spangled or
beaded.
Flowers arc more and more employed as

brother or sister artists. I simply lay it
down as a general proposition, and l be-
lieve the majority of thinking men and
women, especially if they be husbands and
fathers, wives and mothers, will agree
with me. 1 hold that the stage should be
more than mere vehicle of amusement.
1t should do more than "hold the mirror

Determining the Polar Point

NJ. Flammarion, the French as
tronomer, at a recent meeting of
the Paris Academy, described a
method of determining the precise
position of the Celestial Pole. He
photographs the circum-polar
stars, but, instead of following their
movements during the process, he
keeps the sensitised plate fixed.
The result is that the stars, of the
Little Bear, say, describe circles
Of light on the plate, and the polar
point is, of course, the common
,entre of these circles.

Mrs Kendall is no advocate of cycling

her bicycle, says the celebrated actress,
she bids farewell to good looks. If she
develops new muscles, be sure some other
part of her will suffer, some faculty will

We may call it foolish, un-Christian,
frivolous or whatever we will, but the fact
remains and has, evidently, permanence
that people will judge us very largely by
our dress or personal appearance-not by
the number of our dresses or their exact
fashioning, but by their agrecahleness and
tastefulness

In this age of athletics scarcely day

some new record as having been establish

strength that seems likely to stand for
some time. By means of a recognized sys-
tenn careful measurements are taken of

Artificial Rubies,

The artificial rubies made in
France a few years by Messrs
Frenzy and Fell were regarded as
scientific curiosities. Stones are
now largely sold in London and
elsewhere which, while closely re-
sembling in all essential respects
the rubies Of Burmah, are undoubt-
eddy OF artificial origin. Tried for
hardness, specific gravity, lustre,
and subjected to all the tests which
are usually applied to precious
stones, they cannot be distinguish
ed from the natural ruby. They
are actually crystallized red alum
ina, only differing from the natur-
al ruby in the process by which
they have been produced. Examin.
ed by the microscope, they betray
their origin by the CLASSY enclos-
ures which they contain, and
sometimes by a streaky appear
ance.
