Queer Suit


Chancellor McGill this morning decided
a very remarkable habeas corpus case.
which has been an exciting topic for
weeks among the upper italian classes of
Hoboken and Jersey City. The suit was

of Clinton street. Hoboken, for the re-
covery of De Fuccio's son, who has been
in the care of the Amoroso family since
his birth, ten years ago
After listening to a tedious amount of
testimony Chancellor MeGia said that the
child should remain in the Amoroso family
and that its father should visit it at GER
tain times.
Many years ago De Fuccio was a
wealthy jeweller in New York. He em-
ployed Amorose. who married the sister
of De Fuccios wife. Mrs. De Fuccio
died in giving birth to a little boy. Vim

over to Italy and after time returned
with another wife. He lived first at

CONVENTION HALL, CHICAGO, July
10. 1sss.-The fourth days session of the
Democratic National Convention opened
in torrid heat untempered by any of the
cooling breezes which had hitherto
favored the gathering.
It was. of course. idle to expect that
after adjourning in the snail hours of
the morning, riding hine miles home in
overerowded cars and not getting to bed
before 2 or 3 O'Clock, the delegates would
be promptly on hand for 10 o'clock
session.
The gallery occupants were on hand
promptly and in full force and quite pre-
pared to take charge OF the proceedings
they did repeatedly yesterday. They yot-
ed solidly against adjournment yester-7
day and are evidently determined to have
the worth Of their money today.
Chicago has earned the distinction not
only Of building the hiszest convention
hall in the world. but also Of furnishing
the largest and noisiest crowd of spec
tators
There were not dozen of the New
York delegation in their seats when the
proceedings opened. Mr. whitney was
there, but Senator Hill was conspicuously
absent.
Senator Hill holds to the opinion that

vention is competent to nominate can
didate. Should there be any dispute over
this matter, the silver men have a remedy
which is found in the rules of the House
of Representatives. A report from the
Committee on Rules Is always in order,
and if it becomes necessary report
would be made by that committee abro-
eating the two-thirds rule and providing
for a nomination by majority only It
is believed. however, that this latter plan
will not be necessary.
There was much surprise among the
gold men when Mr.. Harrity formally
placed Mr.. Pattison of Pennsylvania in
nomination. It was understood this morn
ing that Pennsylvania would simply casy
its vote for him as a compliment, but Mr.
Harrity decided that as the State Con-
venuion had expressly Instructed. for Pat
tison. it became the duty of the delegation
to place him In nominate
At five minutes before eleven Senator
White of California, the Permanent Chair
man, took the chair and made an effort
TO establish some degree of quiet and or
der in the hail.
After five minutes devoted 10 that pur-
pose with very little success, prayer was
offered by the Rev. DR.. Green Of Grace
Episcopal Church. Cedar Rapids, Iowa,
the same clergyman who oficiated the
last two days.
"As Thou hast given US another day.
20 the prayer ran-''give US grace for Its
6uties, and guide our minds. which are
frail and feeble, by the Infinite wisdom of
Thy grace that we may be kept from evil
and from sin and guided in the paths of
righteousness.

mighty, and grant that that righteoilsness
which exalteth people may be ours, and

Rudeness RebuIsed.

1t Is human nature to rejoice when a
churl Is taught forcible lesson in polite
ness, and the more the rebuke is deserved
the more will the lockers on rejoice at the
guilty mans discontinue. A case in
point occurred at the custom house at one
of the ports Of entry on the great lakes
The inspectors were very courteous and
had been making only superficial examina-
tions of the trunks and bags Of tie passen-
gers, all but one of whom appreciated this
leniency enough to render the inspectors
all possible aid in their work. The excep-
ton was young Englishman, dressed In
the height of fashion, who seemed to re-
gard the inspectors as personal enemies
When his turn came, the inspaotor said,
"Have you trunk, SIR"
"That's my trunk, " he answered shortly.
1"Will you kindly open it2'
"Open it yourself. - AS he spoke he
threw his keys down on the top of the
trunk and looked at the Inspector with a
most insulting expression.
The Inspector said never word, but in
ominous silence picked up tho keys, opened
the trunk and began the examination Of
its contents Beginning with the tray, he
went straight through tho trunk, taking
out and opening everything he found. He
unrolled and separated every pair of socks,
unfolded every piece of underwear and
shook out and explored the pockets of all
the neatly folded coats and trousers. When
he had completely emptied the trunk, he
Checked it and moved on to the next,
leaving the dudes entire wardrobe in a
heap on the floor.

A curious illustration of delicacy OF taste

hungry cat was offered saucer of milk,

empty and was therefore deficient in

teaspoonful of cream was then poured into

CHILDREN OF THE PAST.

How They Compared With the Progressive
Youngsters of Today.
Children were trained to show some
thing like oriental Difference to their par
ents They aoquiesced contentediy as
matters of course in the honaely faye and
the rigorous discipline. In the stricter
households they stood up in the parental
presence till they had formal permission to
be seated. They punctiliously addressed
the house father as sir and their mother as
madam. There was no lack OF love, but
certainly there was no cpddhng. Veneer
able ladies who have IN some way made
their mark have been failing into the fash
ion Of writing autobiogFaphies. Perhaps
on the principle of foPsan ct haec OHM,
ETC.. they all finger 9ondly on their child
hood and girlhood giving many curious
and suggestive details. Their wardrobes
at the best were wonderfully limited. A
single frook for great occasions sufHced for
their simple wants. They wore cotton
stuffs In the depth of winter and were in
obliged with little in the way of warm I'm

They dressed in fireless garrets and dis
pensed with washing If they could not
break the frozen water in the pitchers. We

A shirt that opens in the front is less
likely to break across the bosom than one
that opens in the back only, and one that
opens in the front only-many shirts are
now made to open front and back, too
fits best The buttonholes in the collar
band and the eyelets or other openings in
the bosom for studs afford sufficient play,
while the yoke Of the shirt remains firm
and smooth. The shirt that opens front
and back has the advantage that the studs
can be put In place before the shirt is put
on. In putting ON and taking off the
shirt 1t is opened at the back The studs
need not be removed until the shirt is sent
to the wash. With this freedom from
handling the shirt is likely to remain lon
ger In suitable condition for wear.
The proportion of shirts made to open
in front, either front and back both or
front only, is all the time increasing.
More and more shirts are now being
worn with cuffs attached. New York Sun.
