Queer story.

Occasionally we have to rebuke for carclessneas or
expose for dishonesty a newspaper which prints as
its own something taken from THE Sun. The Chicago
Journal has supplied a case OF unusually brazen tur-
pitude in this sort Of pilfer.ng.
Some days ago the Chicago Journal printed. with
out due credit to THE suS. n poem OF ours beginning
when Esmeralda mounts her wheel" Because IL
represented this poem to be from an exchange" we
frankly confessed our ignorance as to whether IL had
appropriated the poem in full knowledge OF its
origin or whether the exchange had been tho
original thief. aud the Journal. suspecting Il, had
thought It unworthy of being named. This charitable
view, however. must be amended. On July o the
Toronto Erening Star showed that q poem entitled
The Girl on the Bike" recently printed by q con-
temporary. was In truth "The Ola Irish Wheel"
taken from q new book OF Irish poetry and changed
in phraseology for application to the bicycle craze.

crossed for some time, Officer Harries being

to this court" stormed Moss, addressing
Officer Harries. II say you are liar"
Judge Mills here interposed.
"Mr. Moss said the judge, you can't
use such language toward witness when
there is no evidence to sustain your state
ments.'
"Can the officer intimate that because 1
defended the prisoner he was convicted::'
demanded Moss.
The question was not answered, but Moss
retained his indignant attitude to the con-
clrsion of the hearing, and intimated to the
jury that the officer had put up a con-
spiracy On the prisoner to send him to
Jail.
Prosecutor Mullowney, in his reply to Mr..
Moss. declared to the jury that the char
acter of Officer Harries was above re-
preach, and that his statements were en-
titled to belief
The jury, after considering the case for
few minutes, rendered verdict of gull
ty, and Judge Mills sentenced Ward TO a
fine Of $50, or in default, sixty days in jail.

the copies issued from all their subordinate

deepest interest in our deliberations. We
were informed at a missionary gathering
at the Church of st. Saviour's that it Is

to die as martyrs, and that such memoir

velous sign of the times.

one of the greatest men who has filled the

WON all hearts by his marked courtesy, his
ripe wisdom and his missionary spirit. The
American bishops take to their homes de-
lightful memories of the open-hearted hos
pitality which they received on every hand.
They were entertained by the queen, lord
mayor, the diapers and grocers and other
organizations. But what impressed the
American bishops most was the new life
