A JUDGE ON LIBEL LAW.

Judge Mcpherson, of Harrisburg,
Penn, has recently delivered an able
and comm0n-scnSc opinion on the libel
law of the State, and what he says
must be approved by every fair-mind-
cd person. He remarks:
"a libel consists in publishing a
false story which was inspired by
malice. With regard to cr~iticising
public servants the matter is some
what different. The public press sh all
be free to every person in referring
to public officials and other public
matters. Public officials can be more
freely criticised than a private indi-
vidual. When an article is published,
although not true, If published for
the benefit OF the public good and
without malice, the publisher Is not
responsible.
at is the duty OF n publisher to
note the dOings Of public officials.
II he be told of a certain public mat
ter by Il reputable person, whom he
considered in a position to know Of
what he speaks, he is justified IN such
publication"

REDEEMING HIS PLEDGES.
Washington Letter.

Washington Letter.
Senator Perkins, Of California, is in
a queer sort of trouble. Fifteen or six
teen years ago he was elected Gov
ernor of California and a very popular
sort Of a Governor he proved to be,
sc popular, in fact, that Il craze for
naming boy babies after him soon ran
through the State. Bouncing baby
boys were named for him in nearly
every county, from Siskiyou, in the
far north, to San Diego, down on the
Mexican boundary. Governor Perkins
heard Of every one Of these incidents.
The fond parents imagined the rich
young Governor was generously giving
up hundreds of dollar bills in rcc0gni-
ton of all these compliments. But in
stead of settling on the spot, Mr.. Per-
kins, with a politicians fatal weakness
for procrastination wrote nice letters
to every pair Of proud parents, in
which he said all manner of nice
things, and ended with a flourish Of
promise as follows! When George
Perkins Smith is grown let me know
and | will send him to college" The
Governor thought he was getting out
Of the scrape very easily. lie never
imagined he was going to be Senator
from California, with ambitions for
reelection, fifteen or sixteen years
later. But here he IS, aud those letters
are coming home TO ro0st. Already
four young men named George Per-
kins Smith, Jones, or something or
other, have put in their claims for a
college education at the expense Of the
former Governor. 81 expect there are
twenty or thirty more Of them," says
the Senator, land I'll have to honor
their drafts, even if it bankrupts me-"

Eccentricities of Francis Key Dunlop, OF
Washington, Who Died Recently.

Washington, Who Died Recently.
Students of mental character have an
interesting study in the character OF
Francis Key Dunlop, who died in Wash
ington recently, says the New York
Commercial Advertiser. Mr.. Dunlop
was known to everyone who has spent
much time in Washington during the
last third of century. At college he
was an athlete and developed himself
physically to remarkable degree. He
received a severe fall while still at col
lege, and this resulted in brain trouble
that made him the most eccentric man
in Washington in dress. Belonging to
one of the oldest and richest families
in Washington, he was supported with
an abundant income. The effort for
physical development he had made in
college caused an impression on his mind
which resulted in his padding his Shout
ders to a tremendous degree. With
this eccentricity he also had a ten
dency to large-sized collars and cuffs
the cuffs always being made to
order and twice the size ordinarily
worn by men. His neck he painted
red and his face was coated with white,
which gave him CHASTITY appearance.
This mode of attire Dunlop continued
to the day of his death, his clothes be-
ing made by the most fashionable tailor
here. During his earlier years he was
a constant attendant at theaters and at
social events, for he never stood ION
any formality," and would go to recep-
lions without invitation, his well-known
family always guaranteeing kindly
reception for him in the coterie with
which he was familiar. But notwith-
standing these eccentricities, Mr.. Dun
lop is pronounced by men who knew
him most intimately to have been one
of the soundest and most discerning
literary critics of his day. He left an
immense library, buying and reading
every new book of any note. Only a
couple of weeks ago he visited the capt.
toll building for the last time, He was
nearly seventy years of age, and despite
the enormously padded shoulders and
arms walked feebly. He was the most
unique eccentric character that Wash
ington has ever known.
