kiss him. He declared that she did
kiss him, and at the same time picked
his pockets, getting purse contain
ing $40. The defendant denied the
statement, and declared that she ran
out of the Office when the doctor be-
came amorous.
Mr.. Smith invited the doctor. who
weighs 225 pounds, to hug him and
show the justice how the woman pick
ed his pockets. The doctor accepted
the invitation, threw his arms around
the ex-secretary and they Rugged each

reach the doctors gunpocket, and the

to-day talks of nothing but his thriv-

Georgetown talked of their growing
trade center. But the glory of George
town has departed, AMI her venerable
citizens sadly see the decadence.
The steamboats,. railroads, telegraph
and telephone lines have brought all
sections nearer together and all nations
closer in trade relations. The process

is no longer requirement in the bust

business with New York, Baltimore or
Philadelphia than to sail or steam up
the Potomac with traffic and passen-
