THE CASTLE CASE.

An extraordinary case has taken
place in London. Mr.. and Mrs. Castle
well known society people in San
Francisco, but no relations of our fell
low citizens, have been arraigned fol-
pilfering goods from some of the stores
they patronized. Their bail was placed
at 100000. Their populations are es-
timated at over $500. In such a
matter one must have the utmost sym
pathy for this unfortunate people ac-
cused. But the case as it stands proves
very conclusiyely, as the Argonaut
says, and has said often, that the adj
ministration of justice in the criminal
courts of the European States is far
more even handed than what prevails
in the United States The Argonaut is a
strong American paper, and cannot be
thought to favor European methods,
but the Argonaut is eminently fair.
The Argonaut says:
Suppose, purely for purposes of argu-
ment, that people of equal standing with
the Castles had been arrested on SINH
lar charge in any city of the United
States. Suppose q similar amount of
pressure had been brought to bear upon
the courts, through the leading merch-
ants, the leading bankers and the leading
professional men of the city where the
arrest took place. Suppose that the De-
partment of State had also interviewed
TO shield the prisoners. Suppose that
these prisoners had been people of large
wealth and of good social position in the
city whence they came. How long would
they have been detained in any city of
the United States by any criminal judge
n the United States? Not twenty-four
3ours-not twelve hours-not one hour
let these people in London-with every
pressure brought to bear to save them,
0. at least to secure bail for them-were
forced to remain in Jail for a week, and
then were admitted to bail only because
the public prosecutor and the inspector
of detectives refused, through sympathy,
to oppose the bail. Even then the magis-
trate fixed the bail at two hundred thou
sand dollars-a sum which in the United
States would be considered large for the
president of corporation who had stolen
all the corporate funds.
Ii is said that this London magistrate
believes that people of wealth, position
and education deserve severer punish
ment than those of lesser opportunities.
md that people of wealth should be
9laced under heavier bail than people
Eho are poor. Such views as this are
30 contrary to those prevailing in the
criminal courts of the United States that
they almost startle an American. Yet
who can say that they are wrong? De-
ypite the sympathy all San Franciscans
eel for their townspeople who have been
forced to stand in the prisoners dock of
A London criminal court, the fact re-
mains that the conduct of the magistrate |
md officers of that court, up to date, have
treated in the minds of all fair-minded |
san Franciscans a sentiment of the most |
profound respect.

The young Countess of Warwick has
devised new outdoor game called
lawn billiards." The lawn is laid out
like an immense billiard table, with
banks of sod for cushions. The balls
are of celluloid and are hollow, while
the cues are short-handled mallets. The
game is said to be very interesting
but quite difficult, and it may prove a
formidable rival to tennis.

The lovers and owners of good, horse.
flesh were out in goodly mum bers on
Portland street yesterday afternoon, at
tracted by the beauty of the day and
eager, after such long delay. to take
advantage of this first opportunity fol-
winter racing.
The famous course was not in very
good condition. The snow WAS SO dry
and mealy that 1t not only hadn't packed
down and wouldn't, but flew into tine
air about the rushing horses in clouds
of beautiful dust, that glittered and
cleaned in the sunshine like mist from
waterfall.
When five or six horses came down
the street together that snow dust effeut.
especially at a distance was very pretty.
Among those who were speeding theil
horses in the bright cold air were l.. p.

Soule, DR.. Huntington, Marshal Tricky,

better.

NOTEWORTHY ACCOMPLISHMENTS
Interesting Results Set Forth in the An
nual Report of the Union Mutual.

A comprehensive idea Of the results
achieved by the various departments of
the Union Mutual Life Insurance Com
pany Of this city. during the past year,
is justly expressed by the word--sucoess.
Anyone who peruses the annual report of
that institution. published in this issue,
will at once be impressed with the prog
resi- made in the severalIbranches of the
business, hut nothing will more strik-
ingly illustrate the standing of the
company here at home than the fact that
a substantial increase has been made in
it's Maine business.
Nor is this all. 1t is only the begin
ming of the many interesting things to
be found in the report. Noteworthy
among them appears the statement that
the assets increased over $40, 900, a gain
of more than SIS, 900 was made in sur
plus, and that no interest whatever was
in default upon any of the bonds owned
by the company, representing millions
of dollars.
The fact that his is in the nature of a
serial story. similar statements having
been made year ago, affords the best
possible test as to the energy
and capabilitty of the management of
this Home Company, which is such an
important factor in the business life an d
interests OF this community. The con-
tinued progress of this reliable institu-
tion in everything that tends tostrength-
ell its already practically impregnable
solidity is especially gratifying to Maine
people. very many of whom are policy
holders.

I\HIS is the season

This is the season
when the daily use of a
softening lotion of some
kind is an absolute essen
tial to comfort.
Be careful in the selec-
ton Of a lotion.
Many Of them look
well in the bottle, are
attractively packed and
have a pleasant odor, but
for actual use on a sensi-

THAN NOTHING.
Ever tried Diotman's
Liquid Camphor Ice?
The Ingredients in it
are the purest.
The preparation is the

It's effect is immediate
and lasting.
Cannot possibly injure
the most delicate. sensi-

Moreover Dictman's is
CLEAN, clearer than any
other.
No need to wait till
bed. time to apply it, no
need to wear gloves over
night.
Dictman's is absorbed
quickly, leaves no sticky,
Shiny feeling and will
not soil anything.
Dictman's never, sgets
rancid---it can'r.
Never precipitates,---
there's no dirt nor other
foreign matter in it to
precipitate.
Dictman's is unaffected
by hot OF cold weather,
is always the same and
ready to be used to the
last drop in the bottle.
Dictman's costs less
than any other good To-
ton.
There are several
other reasons why you
should keep a bottle of
Dictman's in the house.
