WHISKY AND PEPPER.
Effect of the Com binntiOn ON Richa rtl
Crowns Uranium.

Crowns Uranium.
Richard Crown, white man who is a
regular visitor at the Police Court as a
prisoner, and who gained notoriety several
years ago by marrying colored woman
in an attorneys office near the court, was
in the tolls again today. Whisky is Rich
ards greatest eremy, and Policeman Hern-
don told the court that last evening he was
drunk and fussy.
Richard usually submits a defense that
is extremely muscular, so to speak, but
today marked his initial appearance before
Judge Scott. In the meekest tones imag-
Unable he admitted to his homer that he
had been under the influence of liquor.
Il trust your honor will overlook my
offense," said Richard. Il was sick yes
terday, and took some whisky and red pep
per- 1t went to my head, aud 1 knew not
what 1 was doing. If l am forgiven
will never drink again"
Did you ever drink before in your life?'
asked the court
'Oh, yes. sir; yes, indeed, SIR" Richard
made haste to reply
Isn't 1t strange, then, that one drink
of whisky should go to your head?" the
court inquired.
Policeman Herndon told the court some
thing about the record of Crown, and a
fine of s. was imposed.
Il have $780,, said Crown. Judge, will
you give me till Saturday to pay the rest?'
Judge Scott was obliging enough to re-
duCe the fine to meet the extent of Rich
ards purse, and the latter left the court
a free man.

Controls HertFunds.

She had. when they We're married. she
says, $1,000 in money and securities, which
amount, she declares, he now possesses
controls. Some time previous to their mar
riage, asserts Mrs. Smiley. her husband had
inoculated her with ideas not in accord
ance with modern civilization, and such
was the influence the defendant gained over
her mind that before and during coverture
she saw things only in the light in which
he presented them to her. rarely exercising
her own judgment, much SO that she
would put in writing requests to him to do
many things utterly at variance with COM
mon sense, and admissions as to her con-
duct.
For several months, further charges Mrs.
Smiley, her husband has pretended to as
sumo that certain things she has admitted
in writing were valid reasons Tor sending
her away. threatening to make use of her
written statements if she dared complain
to mutual friends of his conduct. She also
declares he has pretended that her conduct
was such to cause him to suffer losses,
of which she should bear Il part, and she
charges that under those pretenses he APP
piled some of her estate or the income
from it. making out in this connection a
list of petty OffenSeS against him, which
she still has, for which she should pay
fines, varying from ) cents to 81, requiring
her to agree to pay the same cheerfuiy
and without appeal or argument to the
right or wrong thereof.

Evils of Cousins Marrying.

During the past two years says Mrs.
Smiley, her husband has talked a great
deal about the evil of cousins marrying,
and the duty of undoing the wrong done
thereby, and that when she consulted coun-
sci and proposed that the matter be left
to impartial friends he ordered her to lis
miss her counsel and threatened that he
would bring dsgraceful charges against
her. which, she says, were untrue.
Mrs. Smiley asks for the appointment of
a trustee, for an accounting, and for ali
mony and counsel fees. She aAsog asks the
court to restrain her husband from visiting
her and from in any way interfering with
her.

Continuous self-Effacement.

Her married life, states Mrs. Smiley. has
been made one of continuous self-efface-
ment, abnegation, and bending to her hus-
bands will, and she has been made to be-
lieve it to be her duty to yield to the slight
est wish of an arbitrary and exacting self
appointed judge and master.
Mrs. Smiley explains that she thought
she deserved such treatment in order to
become worthy to move on the same high
plane on which her husband has led her
to believe he moved.
Mrs. Smiley charges that March II, 1896,
her husband took her to Linden, Md,
where she has since lived. He came ont
to see her occasionally, she states, but
charges that lately he has forbade her to
come to his home. because her presence
disturb ed the atmosphere in which it was
necessary for him to live holding out the
inducement that by yielding to this con-
tentedy she might qualify herself to ne
come useful to him, and even gain his
affection. She charges that this was done
in orGer that he might in two years obtain
divorce from her on the grounds of de-

cord With Civilization.

Elizabeth L. Smiley has petitioned for a
limited divorce from Charles w. Smiley, to
whom she was married here April q 1890,
her husband being also her first cousin.
Through her attorneys. w. ]. Newton and
Emma NJ. Gillett Mrs. Smiley makes some
novel charges against Mr. Smiley, who is
said to be well known in scientific circles,
the owner of a local printing office, and
the publisher of two scientific periodicals.
By reason of their relationship, says Mrs.
Smiley in her bill of of complaint, her hus-
band became her adviser, before their mar
riage, on matters pertaining to finance and
as to her education, directing and invest
ing her money for her. obtaining such con-
troll over her that she practically had no
will of her own, $50 that he even made her
believe it was favor to her to allow him
to take $1,000 of her money and invest it
in his name. and give her his note without
security"

safety brake appliances at once. The

should brook no delay. No valid reason
can be advanced by the roads; indeed,
there is absolutely no excuse for the
many lives that have already been lost
through this criminal neglect The
roads want longer time to do that
which should have been done years ago,
and any further extension of time for
equipment amounts to nothing more or

The Hon. Robert P. Porter, Superin-
tcndent of the eleventh census calls at
tention in the current North American
Review to the urgent need of prepara-
ton for the taking of the census of 1900.
Mr. Porter is the authority to consult on
this matter, and what he says carries
great weight. 1t is very true, as he says,
that there is constant increase in the
demand for exact statistics, and that it
is extremely important that the greatest
possible accuracy be maintained in Sc
curing statistical data. Congress should
take action at once to prevent any hur-
ried or insufficient preparation for the
twelfth census. Unless this is done
and done, too, before the last days of
the session-there will be little If any
profiting from the mistakes and expert
ments of the eleventh census, and many
unnecessary burdens will devolve upon
the Superintendent. Half the work of
the census lies in getting ready to take
it, and the defects of the last t~compila-
tiOn are all traceable to insufficient prep
arstion, outside of the control of the
Superintendent. This mistake should be
corrected in the coming census, and the
should be made promptly at
the present session of Congress.
