Alderman Francis G. Drew was
brought into criminal court before
Judge Belden yesterday afternoon, to
answer to an Indictment charging him
with agreeing to receive a bride. The
indictment was a lengthy one, telling
with great repetition and much YER
biage how, on Sept. % last, the alder
man had arranged and agreed with
Ben. F. Dodson to accept $3,461 as a
bride for his vote and influence in the
securing for Dodson Of a contract for
supplying the city with certain water
pipe, according to an advertised re-
quest for bids on the part of the city
council. The young man stood very
quietly while the paper was being read,
apparently fully recovered from his
former Illness, and with confidence in
h1mself. The prisoner pleaded not
guilty to the charge, and was not kept
long in custody. Before he was ar
rested, he had secured the services of
A. M. Harrison, who had prepared
bond before he came to the court house.
The bond was in the sum Of S. 900, with
Eugene ]. Stillwell, Eric E. Peterson
and Christian G. Webster as sureties
1t was accepted by the county attorney,
and approved by the court. Mr.. Drew
reserved the privilege of withdrawing
his plea any time within a week, and
demurring to the indictment If he
thought proper. March was the date
set down for the trial, and, after the
usual formalities, the accused, in COM
pany with number Of friends, left the
court house, not to appear until there
was either a trial Of the case or q
demurrer was entered.

and they wonder about the why and
the wherefore Of this strange parade,
while Maud Everett, the novice, just
she met, dressed all in white, with
naught but deep red blush to vary

on her way. The windows Of the
gymnasium and Of the college build
Ing, somehow or other, came open as
the procession approached, and many
were the heads that protruded from the
crevices in the walls.
On the athletic field the football
eleven was practicing, and in spite Of
the order Of the captain that no one
must leave or stop playing. all eyes

and yelled, too. At the same time the

cheeks kept on walking, bowling and
blushing. Only once did she stop in
anger and declare that she would pro-

She is the daughter Of Presbyterian

proposed as a good acquisition to the
sorority's ranks. The great and excit-

brought about more talk than the girls
believed it could.

QUINN is GUILTY.
The Jury Reaches Verdict In
Short Order.


William Mitchell told his story in the case
OF the State against Jack Quinn yesterday
afternoon, giving his evidence very calmly.
He gave the complete tale of the holding up
of J. A. Avery, and could not be shaken by
the attorney for the defense The case was
disappointment to the large crowd which
had assembled expecting to hear something
sensational in the testimony of the girl, May
White, for she was not placed on the stand
inspector Doyle rehearsed the confession of
Mitchell and the acQuiescence OF Quinn in
manner SO firm that he could not be shaken
by cross-eXamination. The witness had pre-
pared his testimony in q mastery manner
and had left no loop hole for the defense
Aid. Phillips and Inspector Howard corrobo-
rated Mr.. Doyle, and the state rested. Mr..
Garrlty made strong plea for a dismissal
OF the case. According to his theory the state
had not corrotorated the testimony of an
accomplish, and not having done So no case
had been made, as the statute provided that
no one could be convced upon the uncorrob-
GRATED testimony of a fellow-criminal who was
an accomplice in the act.
Judge BeldeD refused to dismiss the case
stating that he saw considerable corrobora-
ton.
Then We will go to the jury on the evil
dence of the state, if that is all they have"
said Mr.. Clarity, and, true to his word he
did not put in any evidence, and Mr.. Purdy

MISS EvERETT'S ORDEAL.


The young ladies Of Lake Forest uni
Vers1ty are nothing if not progressive.
They are up to all the tricks of the
mems colleges, and when it comes to
tomfoolery they are quite as bad as
the boys.
A year ago the sophs hazed the
freshies in a manner that was quite
awful, forcing them to drink large bot
ties Of unsterilized milk and to wear
boomers that bagged at the knees.
The novelty of this year has been fur
n1shed by the Beta Gamma sorority
new hedged ststerhood that initiates
the mystery and general idiotic monkey
business Of the Greek letter societies
at Harvard. Miss Maude Everett is the
latest member Of the society, and Lake
Forest has been in commotion ever
since her initiation.
1t is not the fact that Miss Everett
has become a member of the sorority
that has made such a stir. Beta Gam
ma has had new members before. r.
is not the fact of the initiation, but the
manner Of it, that has caused II all
The young woman was not initiated
into this dark and secret Greek letter
s1sterhood just exactly as the faculty
thought she should have been. and
even in female seminaries faculties are
a disagreeable but nevertheless power
ful FACTOR. Thus Beta Gamma is in
great danger Of determination by the
powers that be at Ferry hall.
The way Maude Everett was initiated
was very novel and just a little too
much Of a diversion. The council de-
c1ded that she must walk from the Fer
ry hall building on the lake shore down
town and back clad in a white sum
mer dress. It was also decreed she
would wear white leghorn bonnet of
large form and decora ted with pretty
flowers. In addition to this she was to
nave her feet incased in white slippers
and carry a white silk parasol. There
was to be a regular procession, in
Wnlch all the members of the secret
order were to take part. To every man
they should happen to meet the victim
in the person Miss Everett must bow
PROFOUNDLY and graciously and by no
means dare she fail to smile upon the
ones to whom she bowed
All these and other evil designs were
carried out to the letter. 1t was verv
cold even around Ferry hall seminary
that afternoon. But that didn't weaken
the determine ton or destroy the plans
Of the young women. Miss Everett had
to dress according to the prescribed
style. She did so, and after o'clock,
when study hours were past, the grand
Beta Gamma initiation march was be-
gun, with all the solemnity on the part
of Miss Everett at least, that any
"sem" can gather together and employ
on any occasion. Decked in her gay
summsr wear and followed by the
other members-who had on cloaks
and winter gowns, however-she left
the seminary building. The line of
march was to the Lake Forest postof-
fee, distance of just one mile, and
she was to make one round trip. Halt

Making Frosted Glass.

Many people have wondered how the beau
tifuI effect of frosted and scintillating glass
is secured. The method is quite ingenious.
Over the surface of the glass to be frosted
is spread a thick solution of ordinary Sdue
In the of plate glass this coat is about
one-sixth of an inch thick and as uniform as
possible. 1t is then dried at moderate tenn
perature, say about 81 to 81 degrees G. After
perfect drying the glue coat contracts and be-
comes cracked. The edges Of the cracks turn
upward and the scales Of glue show a ten
dency to strip. AS the glue has entered the
pores of the glass surface the glue scales, in
peeling off, carry small splinters Of the
frosted glass with them, whereby bright
shining shell-like intentions are formed
The crinkled glass which has so long been in
vogue for dessert sets and ornamental vases
is made by a sudden and skillful tempering Of
the air in which the glass is placed when
taken out of the oven. The quick change
from heat to cold causes the contraction of
the glass, and the art OF the whole process
lies in producing evactly the desired pattern
of fracture, and to just such depth that the
strength Of the glass will not be too greatly
impaired.
