FooIed the Judge.

Some years ago 1 was on the bench IN
a Nebraska circuit said Judge A. r.
Simmons of Omaha to a Washington Star
reporter
"A murder was committed under rather
peculiar circumstances. A man named
Bill Chadwick and man named Tom
Plummer were enemies, and had been for
some time, each having threatened the
life of the other. A reconciliation was
effected, and one day the two men went
hunting together Plummer returned
alone and said he had bought Chadwick
horse and the latter had gone to Kansas.
considerable suspicion existed, but
Chadwick had no relatives and there was
no way of disproving the story Several
months later the bones of a man were
found where it was known Chadwick and
Plummer had been together on the day
the former disappeared. BY means of the
boots and popularity of the teeth the
remains were identified as those of Chad
wick Plummer was arrested, tried, con-
victed and sentenced to be hanged.
"Three or four days before the time
fixed for the execution a man entered my
office and saluted me:
'Howd'y judge%
How are your I answered. What
can I do for YOU?
I reckoned you'd know me- he said,
L III Dill NnduWlCk. L ne Ieller IOIn PluIn-
mer was convicted of killin.'
Il was naturally greatly surprised, and
somewhat doubtful as to the truth of his
story But he stuck to it under the most
rigid cross-examination
I don't like Tom none too WELL he
said, but sold him the boss all right and
l went to Kansas. / didn't hear about the
trial til after it was over, so when 1 did
hear thought 1t would be a shame to let
Tom hang, and l came back
II took the man to the prosecuting at
torney, who had known Chadwick slightly
and he identified the man as the one sup
posed to be murdered. We took the first
train to Lincoln, reaching there just in
time to secure a pardon for Plummer.
Both Plummer and Chadwick disap-
peared as soon as the former was release
and l ceased to think about the strange
affair, when l changed circuits with an
other judge, and while sitting in the hotel
l saw Chadwick pass. 1 called the land
lords attention to him, and asked If Chad
wick lived there.
bill Chadwick? No, he don't live any,
where. He's dead That mans name is
Plummer. He does look enough like Chad
whick to pass for him. His brother was
the man who killed Chadwick, and then
got pardoned some way or other, l don't
know how And | did not tell him.

After Many Yenrs.

There was a remarkable scene at
Northumberland avenue hotel on Thurs
day, says the London Telegraph. 1t seems
that a party of newly arrived Americans,
most of them strangers to each other,
were sitting at luncheon. and one Of them
was with an English friend who had call
ed to see him.
The conversation between the two nat
urally drifted back to the war time, and
the American, who had been a federal,
described some Of his adventures, and how
at one place the opposing soldiers used to
work so near each other in the trenches
that they were able to engage in CONVEX
satlon, and surreptitonsly exchange to-
bacco and tea--the northerners having
plenty of the latter and none of the for
mer, while the southerners were in ex-
actly the opposite condition. But, he con-
tinued, the most curious swap" he ever
made was a small packet of quinine for
pound of tobacco, to which the confeder
ate added a curiously carved wooden pipe.
That pipe he had kept ever since, because
he regarded it and the tobacco as having
saved his life, for somehow or other his
superior officer had come to know that he
possessed a quantity of 1.-The weed and
ordered him to report himself concerning
it. Before he could regain his post Skin
mish occurred, and the man who was in
his very place was killed.
At this point a tail, sunburnt American
with white hair and beard, who had been
listening to the other with considerable
emotion, interrupted with, Excuse me,
though 1 am a stranger to you, but didn t
that southerner tell you that quinine was
for his little daughter, who was down
with fever?'
Yes said the other
And didn't the northerner say that his
little girl was i'll of fever, too but he
would share her medicine with the other
little one, even without the tobacco"
why, yes" cried the original narrator,
II believe he did, and that was me-"
And l was the southerner," cried the
other, land here is my daughter, whose
life you helped save, and here's one of my
grandchildren with her"
The Englishman who was present says
that there was then such a scene of hand
shaking, introductions and congratula-
lions as must have made people at the
other tables think the company must
have been visitors from bedlam. The
northerner had also a daughter with him,
who is a widow, and the embrace of two
women who had never seen each other be-
fore, but whose early lives had so closely
touched was peculiarly affecting.
and to think we should meet each
other so far from home, and in England,
too" exclaimed one.
God bless England for it, says l." re-
piled the other.

The Jacksonville Times Mon the other
day thought it saw an opportunity to
teach the cotton men Of Savannah lit
tie something about their business. 1t
looked over the market reports and drew
from some Of the figures It saw the con-
clusion that the Savannah people did not
know what they were up to; that they
we're standing in their own light by stick
ing to an old-establlshed grading Of cot
ton, when other markets were hting the
grades in order to make 1t appear that
they were paying higher prices than Sa-
vannah Rushing rashly to a conclusion,
the Times Union characterized Savannah
as one of the poorest cotton markets in
the country. Charleston was one Of the
markets that the Times-Union referred
to as paying better prices than Savannah.
The Morning News Of course undertook
to disabuse the mind of the Times Union
Of the error into which it had fallen,
presenting the facts with regard to the
different systems of grading cotton in
the several markets, and insisting that
Savannah pays as much as or more than
its competitors for the same quality of
cotton. In proof of the correctness of
the claim, we submit the following ex-
tract from a letter published on Friday
last in the Charleston News and Courier
from its special correspondent at Olar,
in Barnwell county, S. c.:
THE buyers here are all for Savannah,
which is giving considerably more for
cotton than Charleston. Several buyers
got limits from Charleston during the
earlier part of the season, but could not
make shipments there. Several who
shipped from here to factors in Charles
ton were out the freight and commissions
on every bale shipped so far The mar
ket here has always been at about the
same figures as Charleston offered. The
merchants would be glad to see more of
their produce go to the city they are all
so much interested in, and cannot see
why the Charleston market should be
lower than at other ports"
This is directly to the point, which fact
is recognized by the News and Courier.
Commenting upon it, and at the same
time noting our effort to set the Times
Union right. the News and Courier says
while this war of words was in pro-
gress the Olar correspondent comes for
ward with mis- statement that all the cot
ton of his section is going to Savannah
becauses that city offers better prices for
it than Charleston does-Charleston that
according to the Tlmes-Union, has been
quoting better prices all along than Sa-
vannah has quoted. Similar statements
have been made at other places on more
than one occasion, and the matter is one
which should be looked into thoroughly"
We refer to this matter not for the
purpose of detracting from Charleston,
but in order to emphasize the fact that
Savannah is one of the best cotton mar
kets in the country.

The conclusion seems to have been
reached by several prominent members
Of the National Prison Congress after all
that there has been no large increase in
crime as compared with the increase in
the population They say statistics do not
show It,, and the probability is, it just
seems so because there are more news
papers to tell about the crimes that are
committed. 1t will doubtless be hard for
the committee appointed to look into the
matter of the increase of crime to find
anything to do.
