NO MERCY nor BIGAMIsTs.

Judge Pennypacker, of Philadelphia,
takes a very proper view of the crime
OF bigamy, which has become so COM
mon in this country OF late years, and
so few cases OF which are prosecuted
when compared with the number Of
cases which exist. In sentencing a man
by the name of Harris he gave utter
ane to the following scathing words OF
rehuke and condemnation:
IF a man breaks open a shutter, en-
ters a house and steals a ive-dollar
bill. he can be sent to prison for ten
years. II a man, unarmed, commits a
robbery, he may be sentenced to five
years, but under our act Of Assembly a
man who commits the crime to which
you have pleaded guilty can only be
sentenced to two years and ordered e
pay fine of $1,000. Yours is a mos
despicable case, involving as 1t does tho
ruin of the lives of others. IL, there
fore, appears that we pay more atten
ton TO the protection of our money
than we do to the protection of our wo
men. The sentence of the court is tha
you pay fine OF $1,000 and be confne'
in the county prison for two years"

A GREAT MUSICIAN
INNES, THE FAMOUS BANDMAS-

INNES, THE FAMOUS BANDMAS-
TER, AT UNION PARK ON SUN
DAY NEXT.
Sale Of seats for Innes' festival con-
certs at Union Park next Sunday begin
tomorrow at the Grand Opera House.
The number of reserved seats is limit
ed. lines concerts are always delight
full. Thousands of Wilmington people
who went to Willow Grove Park, Phila-
delphia, to hear them last Summer
will testify to that. No doubt Innes
and his Famous Fifty" constitute the
greatest concert band in the world to-
day.
Innes was recognized as the most ia
nous band leader in America when he
was selected to play all Summer at the
Tennessee Centennial. Mr.. Innes' con-
certs there will be heralded throughout
the world as were his concerts at the
Worlds Fair and Atlanta Exposition.
Some people wonder what manner of
men those famous musicians are. Like
lecturers and actors they are forever
in the public eye and forever on the
public tongue in one section or an
other. Music enthusiastics sometime
give attributes next to divine to them.
Witness the case of Paderewski, who,
of course, isn't a band director but still
a musician of musicians clay, whatever
kind Of clay that may be. 1t is OF
record that he lighted seven cigarettes,
put them out and sent them enclosed
in a case as a souvenir to a small So
ciety of musical women. They had
asked him for some kind of a souvenir
that they could auction for the benefit
Of the society at a little fair. The
cigarettes sold for Sc, 81 and SS a
piece For this incident, among
others, Paderewski has been charged
with insufferable vanity. Maybe he
only displayed superior wisdom, fol
he seemed to know the weight of his
silliest favors. Perhaps he also knew
that his own apparent vanity would be
less noticed than the foolishness of his
admirers. Perhaps Paderewski after
all, is a good business man, appreciate
ing the value of advertising. Gener
ally he has been credited with knowing
more about music than about mos
other things
Palerewski works at his piano sil
to eight hours a day, when he is il
health, playing some bars over anC
over again, just like a beginner, bu
with infinitely more patience. IL tool
twenty years of daily labor for Innes
leader of Innes' Band, to become thu
greatest trombonist in the world. So
musicians seem very much like othe
people, and their business a plain
everyday sort of hard work, subject t
the usual conditions and chances o
life.
Innes is a remarkable fellow. l
might be more formally polite to cal
him a remarkable man, but that nigh
lend a stiffness to him that he has not
Perhaps there never has been a grea
musician and director who so thor
oughly divorces himself from his bust
ness. When on the platform with tn
baton in his hand he looks as if h
never had an idea that didn't relate t
music. When he drops it he has tn

LETTERS FROM THE PENPLE
THE MULoUEEN CASE.

To the Editor of the Evening Journal.
Sir: / read an article in your issue of
Monday in reference to the Mulqueen
case, which is calculated to mislead
public opinion and reflect upon those
whose duty 1t is, as well as my own, to
see TO it that all the evidence on the
part OF the state is presented to the
grand jury. II has not since come to
my ears that all the evidence was not
presented to the grand jury, but, on the
other hand, was aware when the in
dictment was presented, that the ply
sicians who performed the operation
upon Dorsey had not been summoned,
for the reason that one of them had
gone to Atlantic City and the other
was not a resident of this state My
colleague, Mr.. Cooper, and myself con-
ferred about the case, and all was done
that we considered proper to be done
at that time, viz: To present to the
grand Jury what evidence we then had
in court. Upon the insistence of a few
physicians of your city, who seem to
| imagine that an injustice has been done
to the two physicians who performed
the operation upon Dorsey, as well as
to the hospital where the operation was
performed, l have concluded TO agair
consider the case in the light OF th'
testimony of the said two physicians
and If l conclude that the matter shoulC
go before the grand jury again, ! will
present il to them. / trust the matte
will restin statu quo until the Septembe
term of court, and that may not agail
be called upon to defend, through tn
press, anyone who may be unjustl.

REVIVAL OF TRADE.

President Frank 8.ompson, OF the
Pennsylvania railrfes Is one of the
best-known men in the country. He is
conservative, and not Inclined to ad-
vance an opinion unless substantiated
by facts. In fact, he always knows
what he is talking about. In view of
this, his utterances concerning the ap-
proach OF better times, are of deep in
terest. Mr. Thompson has just re
turned from tour OF inspection of
the company's lines from Philadelphia
to Pittsburg, and west Of that city, and
in an interview says:
"In Pittsburg, Cincinnati, Cleveland
Louisville, Indianapolis and Chicago
found that the tendency toward i'm
provement is strong. The general opin-
ion In the West Is that the crops OF
the coming season will be unusually
heavy. Altogether / come back with
the feeling that the time is not far dis
tant when we will see n decided i'm
provement in railroad traffic. II It Is
possible to obtain some favorable leg
islation at the hands OF Congress
which will enable railroad managers
TO feel more confident in the future
/ have no doubt that additional expen'
ditures by the railroads will contribute
largely toward the restoration Of gooS
times.
For some time we have felt It nee
essary to suspend the expenditure o
any large amount of money for i'm
provements and extensions. but al
soon as we find that the traffic is in
creasing and other conditions warran
Il we are prepared TO expend the usua
amounts. The commercial depression
has been felt most severely in the irol
and steel business, and as the Pennsyl
vania system OF railroads passe
through the districts most directly in
terested in that kind OF traffic we nat
urally feel the depression more keenl
than some Of the other roads. AS ! sal
before, the tendency toward improve
ment is strongand 1 believe thecountr
will begin in a short time to feel tn
effects Of a general trade revival"
