A WICKED GIRLS TRIUMPH.
French Feeling In the Jury Box Suc-
cuns s 10 Petty EraMi1neas.

French feeling has just had another
noteworthy triumph over law and the
oaths of jurymen. In this case there
was a p~assionnel crime of the kind that
rouses sympathy in France more surely
thar does a breach of premise in Eng
land. Marie Mattel was acquitted. with
all the honors, of having murdered her
fathers brother, In spite of her own
perfectly candid confession that she had
called on him with a revolver in her
pocket and a demand of biackmail upon
with mortal effect. Miss Mattel leaves
the court without a stain upon her
character, wearing deep mourning, not
only for her uncle in question, but for her
father and mother, both of whom nave
committed suicide for shame of their
daughters disgrace. 1t is, indeed, some
thing to put on Grape for.
As to this French story, the annals or
French Icrime-whfch has a character all
Its own-contain nothing more tragic.
Marie was the daughter of an honorable
officer In the French army, living in
some degree of poverty with an extrava-
CANT wife. The girls education was on a
scale rather beyond his means, and as she
grew adbisicsus and u-nmanageable it
became convenient to Id her to her UNI
Gle and his Wife ct Nice. What happened

uncle paid, later on, by his death; the
girl making the utmost, in her defense.

refused to survive his child's ruin and the
crime of his brother; and after his death
Marie retired into life OF ohsclrity.

r~eproaches. Weary of this, the girl decid-

uncle, and it was then that, finding her
appeal in vain, she shot him dead. Then
followed the mothers suicide.

Republicans Eager for the

Three gentlemen high up in the conf

county sat in the Union League Club a
few nights ago discussing the slate.

Since there are five Street and Water
Board Commissioners to be elected.
every Republican precinct leader thinks
the position would suit him, and forth

when the who of the dishe were placed
on the table other guests were expected

the part OF the company, to much IA

The fact that there were thirteen can

day to the Machine workers to scratch

sILENCING A NUISANCE

Speaking of the young man who talks
in public places, I heard a retort made
to him last Thursday night which was
so good I was surprised never to have
heard it before. 1t was at the theatre,
and the young man had seen the play
around know that, and he kept telling
just what was coming and Just how
funny it would be when 1t did come.
He had a pretty Girl with him, and he
was trying to almuse her. AT length he
said:
ibid you ever try listening to a play
with your eyes shut2 You've no idea
how queer it seems"
A middie-aged man with a red face
sat Just in trent. He twisted himself
about In his seat, and glared at the young
man..
Young man. said he, ssdld you ever
try listening to a play with our mouth
shut?"
And the silence was almost painful
