NEW USE FOR MESSENGER BOYS.
The Man With Jag Hired One to
Take Him Home.

A messenger boy, with a porly, gray
musiached, well-dressed man in tow, got
aboard Sixth avenue Harlem train at
Eector street the other afternoon, SAYS
the New York World. The man was
drunk. The two had hardly seated them
selves in opposite crOss-seats, before the
bibulous gentleman began series OF
loud-whispered condolences with another
passenger who sat across the aisle from
him.
"Whadje think my sheem-scheem?'
he remarked. I'm going T. 'stend the
utility of the mess'ger service OF the
metropolish. Mess'ger boys been car
ryin' letters and parcels altogether. SO
far. Idea struck me tday. Why not
give 'em human packages L take care OF?

home. Say, I'm Never goin' 10 a bucket
shop again s. longs l live. F / win

lose must drown my sorow.''
The messenger boy meanwhile was read
ing well-worn copy of a work ur fiction.
whose exciting nature could be guessed
by the boys sparkling eyes q nd tightly
pressed lips. The wOod-eut on the first
page showed tue juvenile hero throwing
two REDSKINS over a cliff into a yawning
gulf below.
Where did 1 tell you to take me,
sonny"
'sixty-eighth street, " answered the
boy, without raising his eyes.
Didn't you promise me that you'd be
my guide, companion an f-frien' 4 hired
YOU An didn't you say that you were

The boy cast "A nervous glance 4 bout him
and nodded his head

you 'nodcr dollar T you'n let me off at

I've got very Important 'gagement with
a p'ucular frien' at O'Clock an it's

The man searched his pockets and sue
ceded in finding but two nickels and three
pennies. The messenger boys cupidity and
the sense of duty had been having hard
struggle, bat at the sight OF the 8 cents
duty trluniIled and he said with severe enl-
empia sis:
mo, colonel. youse can't bribe me. I
said I'd see YOU safe home for 81. and
its home you go. HulIy ice! / wisht

A little later a series of gentle snores
announced that one at leas of No. Sc, 451's
wishes had come true.

CAN THIS BE TRUE?
Jack Kerins Tells About the Corbett-
Ftzsim mons Fight.

Jack Kerins, the old Louisville baseball
catcher, who is now employed as a bar
tender by Golden & Brown, at Sixth and
Green streets, gave out statement last
night that II correct, puts an entirely
different light on the CUrDett Fitzsiinmons
wrangle.
From what he says, CurDett, FitZsim-
mons, Brady, Julian. and the others con
nected with the much advertised flght,
are hippodruInes OF the worst sort, ana tlle
scheme they worked. il reports be true, Is
the biggest in the history Of the prize
ring.
One of the warmest friends COrbett
has is authority for the statements given
out by Jack Kerins- This friend Of Cor
bett was in the city during the baseball
season. and he passed considerable time at
the saloon at which kerins Is bartender,
because Tom Brown. the old Louisville
player, who is now member or the WASH
ington club, is a part owner.
This friend and Kerins are also warm
friends The story Kerins tells is strength
ened by the action OF Corbett and Fitzsim-
mons and their managers in the past rev
days. Here is what Kerins said:
.'Thc last time Corbett's friend was here
he said to me. confidentialiy: JACK. thls

was all arranged that way before the fight
was talked of by Brady, Corbett. Fitz,
and Julian. Brady put up the money
guaranteeing Fits presence in the ring,
and also added to Fitz's stake money from
time to time as was required to keep up
the appearance OF a fight ON the square.
"'All the bluffs that have been published
in the newspapers were arranged before
hand So was the meeting at Green's, in
Philadelphia. The nose-twea king that Cor
bett gave FitZ was stage tweak- This

ried out to the strict letter from the time

:" L know IL Is the agreement between
Corhett and Fitzsimmons to try and prevent
a fight, but it was settled that II the mat
ter became such that they were compelled
to fight, Corbett was to win easily with
out hurting Fitz. In the event the fight
did not come off, Fitz was to be put on
the road. with Brady and Corbett as his
financial hackers
"a 1t was just a combine between all the
men concerned to work the entire country,

LEGAL OASUISTRY-zRIGLER
CASE.

Casuistry may be the result of
good, fair criticism, but even criti-
cism does not always work out
consistent and pertinent result. We
have had many very liberal decisions
on justifable homicide by the Su-
preme Court of West Virginia, car
rving the question of life or death
to the reyolver's cartridge or the
bladed knife into close proximity
with free license to take life. This
is not all chargeable to the present
Supreme Court of the State, but the
enlargement Of judicial functions to
the adjustment of the jury system,
as in the decision in the Zeigler case,
is a wiping out of a line Of judicial
precedents, that will furnish food for
reflection both to the jurist and
practitioner. The case was tried be-
fore Judge Faulkner in Morgan
county, and after very impartial
hearing, Mr.. Zeigler was convicted,
q motion for a new trial heard, ex-
ceptions taken and evidence certi-
fed. As to the law of elf-defense,
Unsuitable or eXcusable homicide
there can be but little controversy,
but when the Supreme Court takes
charge Of the evidence and formu-
lates decision thereon, in defiance
of the opinion of twelve men on the
facts and the ruling of the Judge, it
becomes a question of grave doubt
as to the propriety of such action.
On this proposition Judge Bran
non, in an addenda to the opinion
very properly said: 81 doubt
whether, under the rule of practice
in this court, we should express any
opinion upon the evidence
1t is a very serious question and will
likely become one of grave consider
alton to harmonic with actual prac.
tice in the courts.
Justice Brewer, Of the U. S. SUI
preme Court, in an address before
the National Bar Association, among
other things wisely referred to, said
Gin criminal cases there should be
no appeal. I say it with reluctance,
but the truth is you can trust a jury
to do justice to the accused with
more safety than you can an appel

public by the speedy punishment
Of a criminal. To guard against any

FATAL JEAoUsLY
Caused Murder at Warrington This
Morning

MANNINGToN, w. VA, August "a.
Much excitement was caused here
by the report that another murder
had been committed in this town.
At few minutes after - o'clock
this morning the report OF a gun shot
was heard on the west side of town
and a few minutes later man came
Walking down the sidewalk and fell
in front OF Martins drug store. Sew
eral persons gathered around the
fallen man, who lived but few min
utes, never regaining consciousness.
The dead man was Marion Gerard,
and his slayer was James A. Riddle.
The cause of the shooting ia said to
have been insane jealousy on the part
of Riddle. Riddle claims he killed the
wrong man, as he never saw Gerard
before, though it is said Riddle had
threatened the life Of Gerard eaflier
in the evening if he did not leave
from about his house. Riddle claims
that Gerard was trying to climb in
his house through the window which
opens on the sidewalk. The parties
were on the sidewalk IN front OF the
house and hot words passed, result
ing in Riddle firing, the ball taking
effect two inches above the navel.
Gerard was recently married and his
wife was 10 Fairmont preparing to
go to housekeeping here. From all
reports, the Riddles are notorious
characters. Undue intimacy be-
tween Gerard and Mrs. Riddle is
said to have existed before all parties
moved here.

Princess Kaiulani.

LONDON, August 25.-A dispatch
to the Standard from Berlin says
that the Vosslsche Zeitung hears
from Honolulu that should America
decline the request of the deputation
to Washington to annex the islands,
the Hawaiians will beg England, with
Americas assistance, to enthrone
Princess Kaiulani. Major Wode-
house, the ex-Minister of Great Bri-
tain to Hawaii, it is added, has gone
to America to advocate this plan.
Major Wodehouse was in New
York last week and sailed for
England on Saturday on board the
Etruria. So far as is known, he had
not paid visit to Washington while
in this country. He expressed an
opinion to an interviewer in New
York that the present government in
Hawaii could not endure, and that
Kaiulani would be placed on the
throne. Mr.. A. S. Cleghorn, the
father of the Princess Kaiulani, was
also in New York last week on his
way to England.

KNIGHTS TEMPLAR.
Boston Crowded with People TO Witness
the Great Scenes.


Boston, MASS, August 26.--Bos-
ton has surrendered TO an invading
army and is in the hands of $4,000
Sir Knights Templar. These with
the ladies accompanying them and
the immense throng of visitors at
tracted to the Hub by the conclave
and low railroad rates. have swelled
the city's population to such an ex-
tent as to cause one to wonder if all
the inhabitants of Greater Boston
have not been forced inside the city
limits.
All day long Communicates have
been arriving from North, South,
East and West. By hundreds and
ffties they have come, in coach, par
Tor cars, sleepers and specials, until
tonight there is assembled here an
army the like of which in splendor
and good fellowship has never been
seen before in Boston.
The entire city has dohned holt
day dress and on every hand flags,
banners, gaily colored streamers and
flashing lights meet the eye.
The different hotels where the
large Communicates are making their
headquarters have been damned to
the doors. Each commandery is
keeping open house, and constant
stream of humanity in black and
gold regalis has been pouring in and
out since early this morning.
The principal reception of the day
was at the headquarters of Boston
Commandery in Horticultural Hall.
Two tables stretched from one end
Of the long hall to the other, loaded
with eatables. A general invitation
was extended to the visiting Sll
Knights to make themselves at home
and there was no formality.

THE KNIGHT. TEMPLARS,

The Knight Templars took posses

than did the old crusaders in their
chiyalrc efforts. The weather was
warm, and just imagine our towns
man, Hon. G. P. Matthaei in that
procession ofthousands! The Grand
Master of the Templars, in speaking
of their mission, said.
"The essence of the new chivalrv
is TO care for the little ones, the
widows and orphans, the aged and
the infrm, the poor, the tired man
in the shop, the overworked woman
in the kitchen; TO rescue manhood
and womanhood from their graves;
honor, virtue and chivalry from their
sepulcher-a work far nobIer than
that which summoned the ancient
Knights Templar to battlefelds or
toilsome journeys"
