MRS. MAVERICKS FRIEND.
President Mckinley Sent Personal Re
quest for Her Release.

London dispatches recently stated that
Ambassador Hay had formally petitioned
the Crown for the pardon of Mrs. Flor
ence E. Maybrick, serving a life sentence
on the charge o.. poisoning her husband
in 1889.
The Washington correspondent of the
New York journal says this action was
taken upon the instructions of President
Mckinley, who went to the extent of
making personal request, through the
ambassador, asking for the prisoners re-
lease as matter of international courtesy
and grace, without regard to her guilt or
innocence.
1T is hardly conceivable" said Judge
L. D. Yarrell of Washington. American
counsel for the imprisoned woman, ito
think of any adverse action being taken
England has before been granted like
requests when made as a matter of friend
ship and comfy, and we have done the
same for England.
Efforts have been madeyfor Mrs May
bricks release since the first day of her
incarceration both by individuals and
the United States government. Official
representations have been repeatedly
made to the English authorities, but al
ways on the ground of the innocence of
the prisoner and the injustice of her sent
ence. Judge Yarrell realized that the Eng
lish government would never admitssit had
made an error in the case and so conclud-
ed as a last resort to get President Nc
Kinley to make request for elemency
on the basis of international courtesy,
waving all questions of right or wrong.

A FULL DOCK
Have Justice Melted Out to Them BY
Judge Robinson.

The session of the Municipal court con-
tinued for an hour and a half yesterday
morning. A dock full of drunks were
disposed of and several cases were con-
tinued. Ten days ago John Joyce and
Festus McDonough went into Nowley S
saloon on Fore street and kicked up q
fuss. McDonough did his best to fracture
his friends nose and succeeded SO well
that DR.. Comedian had to be called in to
care for the wound. But before the ar
rival of the physician, Walter Joyce, one
of the numerous cousins of John, went at
Festus and stabbed him. On Saturday
John Joyce swore out complaint against
McDonough and the latter retaliated by
swearing out one against Walter Joyce.
John B. Kehoe opened for John Joyce,
while William H. Looney appeared for
| McDonough. Owing to the absence of a
material witness Mr.. Looney asked that
the hearing be continued to Wednesday
morning. The request was granted.
James McGinnis, charged with the
larceny of IS from John P. Buckley for
whom he had been working, pleaded not
guilty. The case was on motion of County
Attorney Libby, reserved for Wednesday S
proceedings.
just before court adjourned Deputy
Sterling ushered in Patrick VIM and
wife. "These people haunt the police
station said the veteran deputy. "They
come at all times of day and night and
have ordered them away. They have
called at about every attorneys office in
the city and to get rid of them, the
lawyers send them up here. They always
have the same story to tell, how they are
abused by their italian neighbors in
Stafford block. They have become a con-
summate nuisance and for this reason
ask relief from the court" Inspector
Pickett stated that he had investigated
the stories and had found that they were
all SO much trash. The Wins were not
being interferred with at all.
Judge Robinson experienced no little
difficulty in getting word in edgeways
$50 incessently did VIM and his wife reel
off their explanation after the officer had
finished.
CHOW keep still,'' demanded the court.

too much and warn you now that if you
come in here and bother the officers again

ROADS THAT ARE NEEDED.

Henry watterson's Idea Is That They Be
Local, Not National.
Henry Watterson takes issue with
good roads advocate who insists that
the general government should have
charge. OF road making-that there
should be national highways built and
maintained at public expense.
The good roads that are needed, says
the Chicago Times-Herald, those that
are most needed, in the language of
Colonel Watterson, are those that ''lead
from the farm to the railroad, the mill,
the factory, the school, the church, the
ferry and the market"
This apt remark Of Colonel Watterson
is a condensation, simplifcation, an
absolutely plain presentation Of what Is
most wanted in the matter Of good
roads. Garry out that idea, and what
will be wanting? 1t will meet the re-
quirements Of the farmer; it will save
the farming element hundreds Of mil
lions of dollars every year; twill meet
the expectations Of the pleasure seeker;
IL will add to the value Of every foot OF
land in the country; it will be Of value
to every merchant and every profession
al man; it will be a source Of pleasure
and profit to all classes, in all commu-
nities-
