LEWIS AND LARNEY,
One Law Case of the Correspondent That
Was Financial Failure.

One Law Case of the Correspondent That
Was Financial Failure.
Alfred Henry Lewis, the we'll known
Washington correspondent, formerly prac-
ticed law, and for several years served az
city prosecutor in Cleveland While fill
ing that office he was surprised one day by
the receipt of telegram asking him to
come to Ashtabula, O., by the next train
to act as counsel for prisoner there. Aft
er considerable irresolution Mr.. Lewis de-
cided to go. The prisoner proved to be
John Larney, the most expert pickpockeS
this country ever produced, and who Is
universally known in police circles al
Molly Matches, a sobriquet which he
earned in his youth by Disgusting himself
on one occasion as match girl.
Larney and two companions were in
trouble. They had been working the
crowds at a country fair in Greenville, Pa,
and had been very successful. They at
tempted to ply their nefarious arts on u
train while going back to Cleveland, and
one old farmer discovered that he had been
robbed and raised row. The grangers
friends rallied to his support, and the
guilty parties were quickly spotted and
arrested. When Ashtabula was reached,
the pickpockets were turned over to the
town officials and were locked up They
wanted Lewis to get them out The
Cleveland attorney found no difficulty in
accomplishing this. He began habeas
corpus proceedings and raised the point
that as the crime was committed OH a
train running through Pennsylvania and
Ohio 1t was impossible to tell which state
should have jurisdiction. AS NO ons
was willing to swear that the crime had
been committed after the Ohio state line
was crossed the prisoners were released
and with their counsel took the next train
for Cleveland.
Molly Matches was greatly elated over
his easy escape from what he feared would
be long term in JAIL and was very pro-
fuse in thanking Attorney Lewis. The
latter thought that $50 would be about

Two Armies-The Regular and Ir-
regular!
To which would you prefer to belong?
The regular, undoubtedly. The irregulars
are, admittedly, the most numerous, but
they are in a very undesirable state of
non-discipline. Hostetter's Stomach Bit
tiers will soon remedy this want in dis
ordered liver or bowels. Biliousness
manifests itself in yellowness of the skin
and eyeballs, sour breath, furred tongue,
morning nausea, discomfort in the vicini-
ty of the liver, vertigo and sick headache.
Hosts of people suffer thus. These signs
OF insubordination to the governance of
health, together with an irregular condi-
tion of the bowels, are soon regulated by
the bitters, which also overcomes malaria,
dyspepsia, rheumatism, neuralgia, ner
vousness and kidney trouble. As a
means of checking premature decay,
fastening convalescence, and mitigating
the infirmities of age, the great tonic is
without a parallel.
