A SPURIOUS DIVORCE.
The Charge of Bigamy Against Charlie

The Charge of Bigamy Against Charles
d. Dinckley Is Dismissed.
Charles D. Dlnckley, an old man charged
with bigamy, had his case dismissed by
Judge Joachimsen yesterday as it was
shown that he had acted in good faith in
marrying his second wife.
In 1898 Dinckley employed man named
Collins to procure a divorce for him. Col
Inns represented himself as an attorney
and Dinckley paid him fee of $50. In a
few days Collins handed Dlnckley n docu-
ment signed Judge Proutt," which he
stated was a decree of divorce The docu-
ment was produced in court by Attorney
Walter Gallagher, who represented the de-
fendant and the Judge saw at once how
easily man of Dinckley's education had
been mposed upon.
Witnesses were put upon the stand to
testify to Dinckley's good character and
the Judge said he failed to see any GRIM
inal intent and dismissed the case.

General Walkers Views on
Social Reform.

Mr.. Walker had little patience
with shortcut or mechanical
schemes of social reform; and yet
his sympathy for the uplifting of
the oppressed was great. He re-
cognized the benefit Of trade
unions at time when sympathy
was rare on the part Of the educa-
ted. His sympathy, too, was more
than q passing and Indifferent feel
ing. In a magazine article pu-
blished some years ago he re-
marks: II believe I was the first
person occupying a chair of politi-
cal economy to declare that SYM
pathy with the working class on
the part of the general commune
ty may, when industrial conditions
are favorable, become q truly eco
nomic force in determining a
higher rate of wages; but by SYM
pathy I certainly cid dot mean

A MAD DELEGATION.

Uo1ly Item.
While the committee of distin-
guished OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
MED with other distinguished per-
sons from elsewhere who visited
Washington recently to urge the
closing of Pass-s-LO may
have favorably impressed the COM
mittee before which they appear
ed, and Congress generally also,
they most assuredly raised the ire
of the Louisiana delegation of le-
gislators at the nations capital.
The visiting committee of dis
tinguished Louisianisns returned
from their mission full of impor-
lance, and claimed moderately
that, through their efforts alone,
Congress would move in the mat
ter of crevasse closing, and that
they had secured a cool quarter
of q million as a starter for Pass
s-rOutre. The congressional de-
legation at Washington have ia

they were treated with icy respect

The Jury Room.

We publish elsewhere a COM
from juror, severely
critictizipg the police jury for not
providing beds, chairs and tables
in the jury room, for the accomo-
dstion and comfort of the jurors
who are very often compelled to
spend the night in that uncomfor-
table room. We believe the re-
marks, though severe, are we'll
founded, this is certainly not the
way to treat twelve men who are
supposed to sit in judgment upon
the liberty or life Of their fellow
beings.
Very often the miscarriage OF
Justice is due to the poor sccomo-
datiou of the jurors who prefer to
discharge prisoner than to re.
main themselves in captivity, and
as our correspondent remarks. oul
dogs are provided with more com
fort than our jurors.
If the state has no right to keeE
q prisoner in Jail without good
treatment and bedding accomoda
tions, it seems reasonable to sus
pect that the court has no right tt
compel a juror to 20 through TIM
hardship of sleeping on the Hoo
and eating on his knees.
Is this progressiveness and civil
lizstion?

SAD ACCIDENT.

Tuesday night, little Eva Bien-
venu, child of the late Gilbert
Bienvenu, who resided at the
house of Mr.. and Mrs. Ben. Du-
rand, while attempting to get
some holy water on the mantel
piece to say her prayer, got too
close to the CRATE, and her long
night robe took fire, severely bur-
ming her about the face before
help came to her. The unfortu-
nate child who was aged only
eight years, instead of crying for
help tried to remove her robe, but
the flames were too quick for her
and when she attempted to cry
her head was enveloped by the
flames. and in her efforts to cry
for help swallowed some flame.
She was severely burned about
the head, and suffered intense
agonies until death came Thurs
day morning at eleven o'clock, to
relieve her of her painful suffer-
ings.
Little Eva was a bright child
of sweet disposition, and loved
by all her little school mates, who
all expressed their sorrow at lear
ming of the painful accident by
saying "poor little Eva she was sc
good"
Our sympathies are extended tt
the parents who are 80 sorely af
