A QUICK DISPATCH
Being Made Of Mrs. Brady's Libel
Suit

The proceedings in the trial Of the
case of Mrs. Mary Brady against the
Times Mirror company torecover $40, ,00(
as damages for what she considered Ger
tain reflections upon her character, were
very tame yesterday.
The taking of testimony in behalf oil
the plaintiff began at the opening OF
court and by noon it was all in, and the
plaintiffs case was closed. That was
quick work and a decided advance in
this regard on the three previous trials.
There were only two witnesses-the
plaintiff herself and j. H. Wooman,
who was one of the supervisors of San
Diego county at the time the alleged
libelous article was published in the
Times, and who, according to the arti-
Gle, had been instrumental in having
certain children taken away from the
children's home and boarded with Mrs.
Brady.
In the afternoon ]. Buck of San Diego,
who was chairman of the board of su-
pervisors at the time of the incidents
written UP in the Times. was the first
witness put forward by the defense. The
deposition of Burton Greathouse, one Of
the children who boarded with Mrs.
Brady, was read and some other testi-
mony tending to show the kind of care
bestowed upon the waits entrusted to
the care of the plaintiff.
The further hearing will be continued

In the suit of Mrs. E. A. Hodgkins to
recover $11,S76 from County Surveyor

case.
1t was not denied by counsel for the
defense that the amounts named had
not been advanced on behalf of Mr..
Wright, but it was contended that he
had every reason to think the indebted
ness had been liquidated. At the time
the defendant filed his petition in in

she did not file her claim against de-

The Price OF Vanity.

A country merchant visited the
city a few days ago and purchased
from a dollar store a table castor,
which he took home with him, and
after putting a tag onitmarked S14,
made a present OF it to a Methodist
preacher, whose church his family at
tended. The reyerened gentleman
took the package home; opened it,
and examined its contents. The
next day he took the castor with the
tag attached back to the grocery
man and said to him: Il am too
poor in this worlds goods to afford
to display so valuable a castor on
my table, and if you have no oblec-
tons, ! would like to return it and
take S14 worth ofgroceries instead.
The merchant could do nothing but
acquiesce.-Ex.

There has surely been Of late a very
greatand significant increase in the num-
Der of child criminals that are brought
to our police courts. There are moro OF
them, and they are much younger b a
they used to be, and they are vastly
tougher. Their manner shows plain
" that the street has been their teacher,
and that they have been apt pupils. Its
method is simple and varies in Hell's
Kitchen and in Jewtown only in the
opportunities offered. To begin with,
the boy idler in the street during school
hours is there in defiance Of law, wheth-
or the fault is his OWL or not, and he
knows it. He is in the attitude Of OPP
position, the normal attitude of the
street. The policeman is his enemy, and
the policeman stands for the establish
ed order of things.
Thus the groundwork is laid for
whatever mischief comes along. 1t is
not long in coming, rarely longer than
the dinner hour of the first day. The
boy is hungry. He wants something to
eat. A boys hunger is not like a mans,
which can be appeased with promises.
He wants something at once. If he is
playing hooky, he does not want to go
home to get it. Anyway there is no
need to do SO. The street can show him
an easier way. A grocer's stand is
handy, or a pie wagon; better still, a
soda water wagon. The bottle is worth
SO much cash at the junkshop. The
drivers back is turned. The boy
''swipes" one.
1t is not a very great crime, but it is
the stepping stone to many greater. A
horse blanket Or a copper bottomed boil
er may be the next thing. 1t is tho
first step that costs an effort, and that
not a very great one, with the clamor
Of a hungry stomach to drown the warn
ing voice within him hat whispers OF
the policeman and the lookup. The
friends he makes in the street soon help
him to contempt for the one and a So
cret pride in the other. Jacob A. Riis
