INHERIIAN E TAKING WINGS
Dwindling Value Of Pom Sob S
Legacy to Bong PAX.
Cannot Inherit the Real Estate and
Now the Bonds Named in the
Beqnest Are Missing.

Itnow appears that Bong Sun PAX, the
beneficiary under the will OF the receStiy y
deceased Korean minister, Pom K. Sob, will
have little room for congratulation upon
his inheritance. For, under recent develop
msnts, it has been found that the property
TO which he is entitled will not only be
dwindled very considerable, but may he
minus quantity.
1t was first discovered that the house
which Pak's distinguished cousin wished to
bequeatll him could not be conveyed by
verbal testament, aud that, therefore, he
property legally belonged to soh's next
OF kin in Korea. 1t was believed. how
ever, that der the terms Of tie VIII

also of 5000 worth OF government bonds.

Mr.. LourfeIlow,s AcnuittaI.

Mr. Longfellow was acquitted In the
police court YESTERDAY of the charge
brought ny Bicycle Police officer Robertson
of interfering with him while in discharge
of his duty. In tie course of evidence the
fact was brought out that the officer
refused To display his badge, nor woCld
he tell why he wished to make the arrest.
Judge Kinihan, in summing up the affair,
declareds that it was the right of every
American citizen to know why be shoUld
bc arrested and by what authority that
the officer was at fault in not stopping
all difficulty at once by simply showing
his insignia of office and that the pre-
ponderanee of evidence showed that the
defendant did not at any time interfere
with the officer except that he wished to
know if he had proper authority to ma ke
the arrest. On that ground it was the
Judgment of the court that the case be
dismissed.

Peter Seihy, au Aged CoIored Man,
the Defendant.

Peter Selby, an old colored man, was
held in the police court yesterday for the
action OF the grand jury on a charge of
bigamy, preferred against him by his first
wife. Selby pleaded not guilty and en-
deavured to prove that the woman claims
ing TO have been married to him first was
not his legal spouse, but that he had only
lived with her.
Mr.. Ricks, COUNSEL eor the accused, OBJ
iected To wife No. l testifymg on the
ground THAT the Edmunds act would not
permit it Judge Kimball, however, ruled
that the woman was a proper witness
and that she was qualified by the very
law mentioned.
She accordingly took the stand and stated
that she married Peter three years after
the war, that the records were on file in
the court house az Marlboro, and that Rev
Washington Lankfre, a Baltimore minister,
married them.
Rev. Nj. Robinson then took the stand
and told the court that he had married
Peter and Anuie Coots, on the 23d of May.
No further testimony was required, and
Selby was placed under the above bond
awaiting the action OF the grand jury.

RADICALLY CURES
CATARRH.
COLD IN THE.HEAD

COLD IN THE.HEAD
Is acute Inflammation and swelling of the
Olfectory organ which contains the
Nerves of Smell. This organ is a. long
ribbon-like membrane and hangs from
the roof of the Nasal passage in folds, as
seen in Fig. 3. When this condition be-
comes chronic, or permanent, it is called
cATARRH. The folds become swollen
into solid mass, SO the air in breathing
cannot circulate between them /; hence
the loss of smell. The Catarrhal microbe
soon makes. its appearance, causing a
multitude of small ulcers between these
folds. The pus from these ulcero is very
poisonous and soon impregnates the
whole mucous surface of the nose, hsad
and throat with the disease. Medical
works show cases where the tonsils have
become corrupt mass of ulcers. 1t not
infrequently involves thewhole bronchial
passage to the lungs, causing cousump-
tion and death. 1t will be seen that
nothing can radically cure Catarrh which
does not reach to the seat of the disease
between these folds of the Olfactory
organ, and cleanse and heal these ulcers.
BRAZILIAN BALM is the only known remedy
mature that will accomplish this result.

Under the present system it is sup
posed that the Representatives in the
legislature elect the judges and the
solicitors. But the facts-the actual
way in which they are elected-does
violence to the superstition.
If your representative in the legis-
lature belongs to the minority political
party he has no voice in the caucus
which selects the candidates to be
voted for, and the caucus crowds out
competition. and narrows the election
to one candidate.
There are men serving as judges to-
day who never had the support or vote
of a Representative from the judicial
circuits over which they preside, until
Democratic caucus crowded out all
opposition and thereby forced the
Democratic Representatives from each
circuit to vote for man to preside as
judge that they did not want, or quit
their political party. MAC.

use the qualifying word POLITICALLY
because l believe there are judges and
solicitors now serving your state who

but the internal rotten system by and
through which they are selected results
in submersing their mental and moral
worth to such a degree that it requires
extraordinary friendship and power full
magnifying glasses to tell tother
from which. That's fact.
If you doubt it examine the list OF
Jury Commissioners, Registrars and
Notary Publics appointed in your coun-
ty by any of these judges, and if you
don't find cloven-footed p&rtisanship
stamped upon every appointment, drop
me line of correction and I will ex.
empt that judge certain.
I've got an idea in the back part of
my head that the judiciary of this State
needs reforming, and that the reform
can never come so long as judges are
selected by political caucuses and
elected by political caucuses; and cleo
ton by the General Assembly means
that and nothing else. And I am going
to hammer and hammer on that line

These commissioners select the men

the names of men who had made ex

against the men who control" Poll
tics may have had nothing to do with
it, but in nine cases out of ten it had
all to do with it.
The Registrars have charge of your
franchise-your right to vote-and I've
heard of names being stricken which
should not have been, and names added
that should not have been added. Pol
itics may not have caused the name to
be stricken or the name to be added
but in nine cases out of ten it had

What is the remedy? Make your
judges responsible to the people over
whom they preside and not to a polit-

Change the mode of election from the
Legislature to the people.
