Richmond, Va, May 20.-Judge Witt,
of.the hustings court, to-day refused to
set aside the verdict in the case of Burley
Robinson, whom the jury had Just given
ten years in the penitentiary for assault
ing Virginia Holmes. The case was one
of the most revolving ever tried here
The young woman, while attending a
dance, was given wine until intoxicated,
and then Robinson and other young col
ored men assaulted her.
Before passing sentence Judge Witt,
in refusing new trial, said: This is
the most infamous and brutal crime
which has ever been in court since have
been connected with the administration
of criminal law. just go long as n jury
continues to let off brutes like this with
ht.sentences, inst so long will lynch
law be encouraged. The fairer the VIC

characters take. No mans wife or daugh

Not a Kicker, But Says a Few
Things.

A chronic kicker is one of the detestable
beings of this earth. He Is worse than n
muTrain in cattle,a blight on the land or n
misery in the midst, yet the man who
stands patiently by and allows that to be
done which he knows is not for the best
or not what should be done, or allows
that which should be done to remain un.
done,..is equally detestable and dispicable.
1t is not the intention to say what should
or should not be done, but few facts
which are vouched for by good authority
regarding the application for the saloons,
one on Campbell avenue and the other on
the corner of Salem avenue and Commerce
street, may prove interesting in the light
of the recent decisions of our judges.
The application for saloon on Commerce
street was opposed by u few citizens, not
all, who reside in the locality, and on ac-
count of its possible interference with
their trade and not because the place was
unsuitable this application was refused
by beth courts. The application for IL
cense to open n saloon Oh the corner OF
Salem avenue and Commerce was most
strenuously opposed by every business
man in that locality, giving asa reason
WAS used as depot for ladies coming
from Salem. Bundles are sent to the cor.
ner and ladies often forced to wait there
for the car. The only testimony favorinp
the locality was offered by the applicant
himself, the renters of the building, and
one man who runs II business up Salem
avenue. Yet this application was granted

Music That Reaches Out.

There is some recompense even IN
pain that attends the living of colorless
lives There is story of how visitor
to Amsterdam, wishing to hear the
wonderful music of the chimes OF ST.
Nicholas, went up in the tower OF the
church to hear it, and there he found
man with wooden gloves on his hands
pounding the keyboard. 1t was all harsh
and discordant when heard so close by,
yet all the while floating over the city
were strains of enchanting music .Peo-
pie in their homes were thrilled by
wonderful bell notes that fell from the
tower So it is in life. There are many
sweet souls shut in to pain and sorrow
and others whose days are filled with
dull, monotonous labor, who little
dream of the music that reaches out
and touches with its sweetness other
lives; music that comes from their pa
tient hammering away with wooden
gloves on noisy keys that seem all out
of tune. Surely sometime and some
where will come to all such SO much o,
sunshine, so smooth a path. that they
will forget all the past in present
bliss. -Philadelphia Times
