A FINE THE PENALTY.
Judgment of the Court in Case of
). s. DafSh.

Judgment of the Court in Case of
5. s. Daish.
Mr. Silas s. Daish, who was recently de-
ciared guilty, by jury in the Police Court
OF indecent assault upon Miss Estelle Sher-
wood. at the time employed in his office
and in whose case a motion for a new trial
was overruled Saturday, was this after
neon fined $40 by Judge Kimball. The
fine was promptly paid.
After Mr.. Mason N. Richardson had re-
quested that the minimum penalty be i'm
posed, Assistant District Attorney Null
lowry made an earnest address to the
court
I'VE seldom have cases of this character
in court" stated Mr.. Mullowny. my ex-
perience has shown that fathers after they
bring their daughters to interview me in
connection with such charges and on learn
ing what they have to go through, usually
withdraw the prosecution.
u do not believe that all men are bad
continued Mr.. Mullowny, but there are
many in this community who are bad. The
object of this prosecution was to cause
those who would do things of this sort to
hesitate
Mr.. Mulowny referred to the Talcott
case, tried some week ago.
THE defendant in that cause" he said,
was seventy-four years of age. Your
honor imposed fine of $3.50" stated Mr..
Mullowny, because several physicians
made affidavit that confinement in jail
would kill the defendant. Mr.. Daish, how
ever. is robust man, and the government
asks that Jail sentence be imposed in his
case Il suppose, however, that your honor
will impose fine only. small fine In the
case of a man of the means of Mr.. Daish
would be wholly inadequate. I, therefore
ask that the fine be not less than $780,
Mr.. Richardson, in reply, argued that
the Talcott case was in no way analogous
to that of Mr.. Daish.
Il know Mr.. Daish to be an upright bust
ness man., remarked Judge Kimball, land
the charge against him was a great sur
prise to me. The trial, sentence and con-
viction mean a great deal to Mr.. Daish
The question at issue is not one of his pay
ing fine according to his pocket book 1t
is my duty to impose a fine according to
the evidence. l shall make it $3.50"

THOSE ILLEGAL WIRES.
An Investigation Being Made to As
certain Responsibility.

The investigation which was started Sat-
urday afternoon regarding the ownership
of the illegal overhead wires, and the un-
authorized occupation of two alleys with
underground conduits, is still in progress.
inspector Allen of the lighting department
has communicated with the District sur
veyor, and lines will be run and surveys
made this afternoon to determine the exact
position Of the conduits. When this is done
warrants will be sworn out charging IL
legal occupation of the public space. Mean
while Commissioner Wight is quietly in
curing into the matter on his own hook.
He is anxious to find out where the police
were when the conduit was being dug and
the wires strung. There would seem to be
some excuse for not noting the stringing
of the wires, but none for not interfering
with the underground construction.
Saturday afternoon, after The Star went
to press, a representative of the Potomac
Electric Power Company visited Commits
sioner Black and recommended that the
wires be permitted to remain until after he
had investigated their, ownership. He evf-
IDENTIFY did not know they had been re-
moved. Commissioner Black said he had
made 1t a rule, when he found a breach Of
law, to apply the remedy at once and in
vestigate afterward That IL was his pur-
pose to have Immediately removed every
Illegal overhead wire he found, and then
investigate the stringing of It.

That rIan.

Once upon a time, long ago, of
course, there was a man who claimed
to be a Christian, but would not at
tach himself to any church; for, said
he, "there is SO many mean people
in the churches that ] could not
bear to see my name enrolled on
the church records with so vile a
people. | can live a Christian life
and not belong TO any church, and
to himself he says, "by so doing |
will not have to pay the preacher
anything or help support conferen
ces and associations. Not being a
church member no one will expect
me to invite any of the brethren
home with me to dinner" You
see that he had forgotten that the
good book says, "Be not forgetfuI
to entertain strangers" Now this
man of long ago had a neighbor
who had ever treated him kindly,
who gave to him whenever he ask
ed and when he came to him to bor-
row he turned him not away, but
he looks upon that neighbor with
malicious eye. He knows he is a
righteous man and he fears that
people will think him more right
eous than himself, so he resolves to
down him if he can, and tells every
one he meets what mean man that
neighbor of his is; [ have in time
past thought he was good man,
but have found out lately that he
is just the vilest hypocrite that ever
lived. Why, says some one, what
has he done9 He belongs to our
church, and we don't want any hyp-
ocrite in it. Well, said he, his pig
went through my open gate into
my potato patch and rooted up my
potatoes, now if he had been a
Christian he would have taught that
pig to shut its eyes when it went to,
pass by So it could not see that open
gate. PoCAHoNTxs,

He only is advancing in life
whose heart is getting softer, whose
blood warmer, whose brain quick

this life in them are the trce lords

Especially hate those fools who
talk about their conscience. Con-
science is simply ecclesiastical argot

digestion has bad conscience. The
health Of the conscience varies with

If the laborer'a arm be weak and
hi3 frame fatigued, his blows cannot
be firm and strong; if the mechanic
lacks skill and Judgment his work
must be inferior; if the artists eye
be defective, his pictures cannot be
true; if the authors brain be weary,
he cannot realize his best possibili-
ties. Yet each of these may be in.
cessantly toiling and, as they sup
pose, not wasting minute, while in
truth they are wasting precious
time by not bringing their intelli-
gence to bear upon the real need of
their work.
1t is to the interest Of every man
to better himself or his condition
when he can do so honorably. This
is what to a certain extent we are
all aiming to accomplish; but we
shall not be able to reach this if, in
stead Of earnest, faithful work, we
devote our energies to seeking out
and obtaining easy positions.
What we wish to remember we
must thoroughly possess. If it is in
the line of our work we. must be
master of it, not only laboring dill.
igently, but understanding each
step, being Interested in each detail,
seeing the relation of each part to
the whole, and cultivating a passion
for excellence.
There are few characteristics
more valuable than That which gives
a reputation for absolute truthful.
