And She Didn't,

A lady passenger in small coasting
steamer had been annoying the man at the
wheel by asking questions.
At last he so far forgot himself as tc
toll her to ego to Jericho
The lady was greatly shocker and in
suited, complained to the captain and in
sisted on an apology from the man.
The captain politely promised to see to
it.
Having called the man, hetold him that
he must apologize, and SO he went off
rather sulkily toward tho cabin.
Having reached the door, he stood there
till the attention of the lady was directed
to him, when he called out to her, "You
need not go, then turned and went on

POORLY PAID JUDGES.
italian Legal Fnr ctionaries Have to Squeeze
Their Incomes From the Public.

Ii haly any unfortunate who owes 10
per cent finds his little debt run up by
sheriffs officers, tribunal expenses and all
the manifold charges of notaries attorneys
and advocates to 200 per cent before he has
time to breathe or realize his situation, and
the forced sales are so conducted that the
property sold produces nothing for any
one except the state and the auctioneers.
The state takes its percentage first before
even the creditors, and thus is caused the
avidity by which all state officials and
myrmidons drag to ruin by intrigue ard
extortion q large majority of the Italian
taxpaying public. Note the salaries paid
to the officials of the tribunals in Italy,
and judge if such officials are not invited
and forced to ruin the mass of the people.
Where county court judge in England
has 81, 900 or 900 year he receives
here the equivalent of $40 or perhaps $50
per annum All the lesser functionaries
are paid in proportion. The giudice con-
cilliatorc, who answers to the judge dc la
paix in France, and to the police magis-
trate in England, is paid sometimes at the
rate Of $50 per annum, sometimes not at
all; the pockets of the appellants at this
court must maintain him. 1t can readily
be understood that all these hungry func-
tionaries of the law, big and little, live on
the public perforce, and that almost any
iniquity or injustice may be obtained I'M
der their rule if money be largely enough
and secretly enough expended "Your
splendor is my dishonor," said Bacon to
his magnificent liveried serving men, who
rose to meet him when he entered court to
stand upon his trial.
The Italian functionaries may say to the
italian Thcmis, "That we have coats to
cur backs and rings on our fingers is your
iishonor, for you do not pay us enough to
enable us to get either honestly" Not
withstanding this miserable pay which
they receive, Italy spends on the admins
tration of law 1876, 900, 900 francs-that is
1000, 900 francs more than France lin
comparison to the population) and 49,
600, 600 francs more than England. The
public who contribute all these millions
get little or nothing for their MONEY!

The New Commander OF the Army.

The appointment of Gen. Nelson A.
In command of the army appears to be
undoubted al this writing and he has the
satisfaction Of knowing that the honor
comes to him not only by right of sue
e, ssion but that 1t is deserved. Gen.
Miles was born in Westminster, Mass,
August s, 1889 and In 1851 he joined the
lieutenant But during the twenty one
years of his life up to the time Of enlist
ing he had shown the qualities which led
his friends to believe that he would play
no unimportant part in the work of war
which he had undertaken. At seventeen
he left the farm for Boston wearing
clothes which some boys of his age would
not have had the courage to wear He
secured q position that paid but little and
was offered board with an uncle AL
though his wages would not admit of his
paying his board he preferred not TO be
dependent and leaving his uncle's boartied
himself, This sturdy Independence and
self reliance never deserted him, and al
though he had influential friends he was
worthy of all the promotions he received.
He distinguished himself In the service
OF the Army of the Potomac early in Its
history and took part in every engage
msnt except one. He distinguished him
se'i especially at Spotssyiva lia by attack
ing the "bloody angle" and routing Tn,

Oscar Strand. cash $26: Charles
g. GnstafsOn, cash IS; John Swanberg,
proprietor of the lodging house, new
hat, and a boarder whoae name we
did not learn lost a pair ofnew shoes.
The robbery was evidently com
mitted by some one who was well
acquainted about the house. The
work was cleverly done some time
after the bOartlers had retired. either
late Sunday night or early Monday
morning.
Suspicion rests on Oscar Samuel

place and who left ON the 8 o'clock
train Monday morning evidently tor

SamuelsOn il an old-time crook
and was but recently released from
the county jail here for the theft ut a
watch from an employee Of Newm"n's
livery barn. He was also suspected
as the party who robbed Anderson's
saloon. two weeks ago. and the po-
lice were shadowtng him in an en-
deavor to obtain some evidence con-
meeting him with the crime. He was
seen by the police just before he took
the morning train. but as they knew
nothing at that time OF the boarding
house robbery, and were not sue
cessful in finding anything to con-
meet him with Anderson's saloon
burglary they coul / not very well

was carrying and found in It a pair
OF shoes and a hat. hut as he ex-
planned that they were part OF hfs

time had no knowledge to the con-
trary:he had t" accept his word.
The goods that were stolen from
AndersOn's saloon were mostly
cigars. and he has either disposed of
them to some pal in this city or has
left them in hiding somewhere.
The fellow has been at " work
but a very little since he. got out OF
Jail. and could not have much money
about him, which he obtained legiti-
mateiy. and the fact that he had a
$50 bill changed Just before he LETT
