companionable of men. He lives the quiet

The only secret of Sothern's success is
work and the hardest kind OF work.
Sothern is clever artist, and many of
his friends are IN possession of choice

Gordy, who was indicted by the grand
jury of Sussex county on the charge Of
numbering his bride, was arraigned in
court here this morning. He pleaded not
gRlty, and said he wanted trial by jury.
AT no other time since the erection of the
court house here, in 1887, has such u large
crowd gathered in the building as was
preseut to-day. The town was visited
by n concourse Of people not only from
Sussex but from every county in the
State, and from the Eastern Shore Of
Maryland.
Attorney General White asked that the
court appoint next Monday morning as
the day on which the trial should bcgin
Lawyer Richards asked that tho court set

jected to by the attorney. general, who
told the court that he had several wit
nesses hero from New York who were
willing to remain until Monday, pro.
vidod they could leave for thclr homes
that day, and in order to accomodate
them he hoped the court would begin the
case at 10 o'clock in the morning.
Chief Justice Lore said the request
made by tho prisoners counsel was rca-
sonable, and he would set the hour at l2
O'Clock. You may tuke tho prisoner
back to jail he then said to the sheriff. -
This caused another rush for the exit.
The people SO completely blocked the door
way that tho sheriff had to wait until
they had reached the street, where they
collected in squads, some at the rear door
of the courthouse and some at the front
door
(iordy was taken to Jail by the route that
had been followed by the sheriff in bring
ing him into court. All along the route
there were crowds. Gordy moved with Il
quick tread as if he were eager TO seek Sc
Glusi0n in tho old Jail.
While there was no attempt at violence,
yet remarks from the crowd which no
doubt, reached the prisoners ears, were
suiIloicnt to convince him that there was
LG 81 ympathy with him in the Community.
