Marriott of the s. F. News Letter
Acquitted.
Editor Fred Marriott of the News
Letter was triumphsutly acquitted
by jury of his peers, says the S. f.
Bulletin, OF charge of libeling
Superior Judge Hebbard, after a
trial lasting over four weeks. After
only three ballots the young editors
conduct was vidicated.
AS it is generally we'll known, the
case was based on an indictment Of
Marriott for the publication in the
News Latter Of an editorial criticism
of Judge Hebbard's course in the
Peoples Bank cases and declaring
that the judge was the creature
and toop' OF designing persons and,
consequently, a disgrace to the
bench" unfair" and incompetent"
1t was purely a campaign article,
such as any newspaper may publish,
such as all the voters in the city de-
sire shall be published. 1t pur-
ported to tell the truth about pro.
miuent candidate for election to
political honors. To some extent it
missed its mark, for the object of
the criticism was elected by large
vote. Yet months after his day OF
triumph the judge presumed to
press criminal charge against the
man who had criticized him. To
the credit OF the people, to the glory
of liberty and free speech, the at
tempt ignomioiously failed.-S. F..

Bill to Suppress Department Stores.

Senator Bernard +. Martin of New
York has introduced bill into the Leg
isiature to suppress department stores
lt Is stated to be similar to the bill
which has engaged the attention of the
Legislature in Illinois. 1t prescribes
certain groups of merchandise which q
single merchant may deal in without a
license. and certain other combinations
for which license is required; all
groups not specified it forbids. For ex-
ample the proposed law provides that a
merchant may sell dry goods without
asking permission; he may sell dry
goods and carpets, provided he can get
license, but he cannot sell dry goods,
carpets and books on any terms The
immediate practical result of such a bill
as this of Senator Martins will doubt
less be that the department stores will
each open new department devoted
to legislation. Nearly every one hates
the department stores in theory, and
finds them convenient in practice They
tend to diminish the tribute paid to the
middleman by the consumer. The mid
dleman. who has been used to deal in
a single group of commodities, as books
or meat, does not like to have his COM
mercial throat cut by the department
store. Neither does the consumer al
together like it. He sympathizes with
the bookseller or the market man. but
in the end he usually goes where he can
get the most for his money.-Harper's

AbySSinian Women.

One of the Italian officers who lately
returned from captivity in Abyssinia
has published a book. in which he de-
scribes the kindness of the Abyssinian
women with the deepest gratitude. 1t
is pleasant to have this testimony.
Those who remember Bruce's travels
have found it more and more difficult
to reconcile the enthusiastic account
which he gives. with the report of
modern explorers In the first place,
all the ladies" whom he mentions with
any detail appear to have been lovely.
if Young. Some of them he sketches
with an enthusiasm sufficient for We
nus herself The criticism of Major
Cameras book does not refer to this
point But Bruce represents the good
ness of his heroines as equal to their
beauty, and here the Italian bears him
out to the fullest. The very first
Abyssinian woman whom Major Ga
merra met. after the battle, was
slave He had no shoes, and he suf-
fered terribly The slave girl took off
her headdress Of white linen, cut it in
two. and bandaged his wounded feet
It was no small sacrifice to humanity,
for white linen is a treasure in those
parts. There was one woman, old and
ugly. who devoted herself 10 the group
Of prisoners among whom the author
was numbered. She not only nursed
and tended him. but did her best to
cheer them up by shouting "Agari,
Agari," in their ears when they seemed
unusually respondent. "Agari" is
Abyssinian for Italy" 1t was an
artless form of consolation, but good
will is everything in such a case. We
hear without surprise that these kindly
and estimable women are badly treated
by their male kind-it is in suffering
that they have learned compassion. At
the same time, Bruce gives us the idea
that they are not so angelic as to re-
frain from avengiug themselves upon
their brutal husbands.-London Stan

He Had 1t Made to Protect Him from
RulIets of MOOnshIners.
]. W. Wooten, one of the Breathitt
county's, KY, constables, has had so
many close calls while assisting rev.
enue agents in raids on moonshiners
that he determined recently to take
precautions for the future. He has
been shot in the chest several times,
and was near death for several months
on a certain occasion when a moon
sinners aim was unusually accurate.
Wooten had been reading of coats of
mail and he determined to have one
made that would turn bullets. He went
to a firm in Cincinnati and explained
what he wanted. One of the firms
artisans conceived the idea of making
him an undeTshirt composed of small
steel rings tapping each other some
thing on the order of the feathers of
bird. Wooten told the manager that
he would buy such a shirt if it was
guaranteed to be bullet proof, and if he
was allowed to fire Winchester at it
at distance of fifty yards before &C
cepting it. The workman who con-
ceived the idea of making the shirt
told the manager that he could afford
to take the risk, and accordingly the
shirt was built. 1t is three-ply, the
rings being adjusted so that the gar
ment is flexible, and yet the steel wire
of which the rings are composed resist
ea the impact of a forty-four caliber
bullet fired from Winchester by Con-
stable Wooten at the specified distance.
The constable now says that the moon
sinners will have to shoot him in the
head before they can kill him. Near
ly all the raids are made in the night
time, and the constable thinks it will
be difficult for the sinners to hit him
in the head.
