Under Restriction.

The sour and surIy looking visitor called
the little boy to him and took him on
his knee. 1t so happened that at this par
ticuar time he wished to make friends
with him in order TO stand well with his
parents, says the Chicago Post.
Il like little boys" said the visitor.
The boy looked as If he doubted 1t, but
he held his peace,
That is" explained the visitor, in or
der that there should be no mistake. II
like good little boys, and you're a good
little boy, aren't your
"Well," returned the boy cautiously.
there are a lot worse than me on our
street"
Il want that you should like me, too
persisted the visitor.
Again the boy was wise enough to hold
his peace. but he looked as If he thought
the job was a pretty big one. The express
sion was not lost on the visitor.
Don't you like me nowg' he asked
The boy looked az the visitor and sighed.
Then he looked at his father, and his ex-
preston was one of great doubt.
Pop" he said at last, does all that
stuff that you told me about never telling
a he go or not?"
The meeting was promptly adjourned
amid considerable confusion.

Sir Henry Charles Lopes. the lord chief
justice of appeal, whom the queen has
raised 10 the peerage on the occasion of
her jubilee. Is now ~ years old. Although
MS title of nobility comes rather late in
hfe, 1t is no less grateful, for it will pass
on to his son. His brother Sir Lopes Mas
sey Lopes, Is a baronet Lord Lopes was
educated at Winchester and oxford and
was called to the bar in 1852. He was re-
corder of Exeter in 1867, queens counsel
in 1859, member Of parliament from 1868
to 1876, and in the latter year was made
judge. Nine years later he became lord
justice. Sir Henry is popular among the
lawyers.
Sir Alexander Richard Binnie, who has
been knighted in connection with the jubi-
lee, has been so honored because of his
service as civil engineer 10 the govern
ment of India. He is now So years old,
and entered the public works department
of India a quarter of a century ago. Dur
ing his service there he designed and con-
structed many important public works. ON
his return he held the post of engineer to
the city of Bradford, where he gained
great renown by constructing an elabo-
rate system Of water works. In 1890 he
was made chief engineer to the London
city council, and his chief work in that
capacity was the Blackwell tunnel.
Barney Barnato left a little princess
of the Kaffirs' to inherit his great wealth.
If the noted hnancier and promoter was
really worth all the money ne was said to
have been worth, this little lady will come
into one of the biggest private fortunes in
the world. Barney left another and an
elder child, if Mrs. w w. Blackman of
Cleveland is right in her claim, for she
says that she, too, Is the daughter of the
diamond king of Africa. Mrs. Blackman' S
mother has gone TO England to contest
Barnato's will. The mother is a Russian,
and she says that Barnato married her in
Russia twenty-seven years ago. The KAT
fir king was known at that time as Bar
ney Brolobjitschy, and he disappeared in
most mysterious manner many years
ago. Mrs. Blackman says that, although
she was very young when her father dis
appeared, she remembers him very well
and readily recognizes him from his lat
est photographs. Her mother is now at
work with her lawyers in England, max
ing arrangements to go into court and
contest the will, in which Barnato left
the bulk of his hundreds of millions to
his widow and his little daughter. The
case promises big fight.

The Maryland state democracy has set
an example which may be followed with
profit by other democratic state organiza-
tons. The factions made concessions for
the mutual good and came together upon
a platform upon which each member can
stand without sacrificing principle. The
reconciliation was brought about by Sem
ator German, that master political organ
izer whose star seems once more in the
ascendency in his state.
The keynote of the Maryland campaign
win be antagonism to republicanism in
general and TO Dingleyism in particular.
The unanimous voice of the democracy
after the passage of the Mckinley bill
was that that law was the GROWING in
fanny of class legislation. Upon that as
sertion the democrats appealed to the
country, ana were sustained. The Mary
land democrats. the first TO meet in con-
vention since the passage of the Dingley
bill. declare the tariff law just foisted up
on the people to be more odious than even

Dingleyism," and not Sixteen to one"
A Kentucky contemporary has condensed
the slogan for the next campaign into the
auiterative but somewhat irreverent ex-
plosive Ding Dingley!' Whatever may
be the rallying cry. however, there is in
the Dingley bill sufficient provocation for
the people to rise up in their wrath
and turn the republicans out of
power, and they can do It pro-
vided the democrats do not throw away
their advantage by INDUCING in fractional
fights The Maryland democrats have in
dicated how concessions may be made for
the good of the party.

Court Proceedings simpIined.

II was back in the sos just after the lit
tie Minnesota town of Lake City was
founded, that a man named Dalrymple
was elected justice of the peace there
says Harry V. MARI in the National Mag
azine. He did not receive this high honor
at the hands of his fellow citizens be-
cause Of any known, or SO much sus-
pected, judicial attachments, or even from
any alleged legal knowledge he might
have, but solely because of his age, he
being a man who had come to sixty
year" or more, while every other man
in the community was at least under 40
and most of them well below 80. 1t wac
felt that certain age should attend the
wearing of the ermine, and so Dalrympe
got the office.
1t happened that the first case which
came up after Dalrymples elevation was
that of a man charged with stealing a
calf. Now the Judge was, on the whole,
a modest man. and partially, at Least,
conscious of his legal limitations. Accord
ingly, SO much as possible to avoid the
scrutiny of the rabble, he announced that
he would give the man a hearing the next
morning at O'Clock. This was early, so
early that the prosecuting attorney was
not on hand. In fact, the only persons
present at the opening of court were the
prisoner and his lawyer and the sheriff.
The judge entered, pounded on the table
with a tack-hammer and said:
Gentlemen, you will please come to
order"
The three men stopped their discussion
as to the prospect for the wheat crop aud
the lawyer arose and said:
May it please your honor, I represent
the prisoner in this case. This is the hour
at which the court was announced to
open. and as the prosecution is not pres
ent, as they ought to be, 1 desire to make
motion that the prisoner be discharged"
The judge fdgeted about a moment and
then said
Gentlemen, it is moved that the prls-
oner be discharged. Do 1 hear a second
TO the motion?"
The lawyer nudged his client violently
with his elbow
81 second the notion" blurted out the
prisoner
Gentlemen, you have heard the mo-
ton" said the court. LAS many of you as
are in favor of it signify by saying aye :"
Aye" called the attorney and the pris-
oner.
Contrary minded Nor"
NO" shouted the sheriff.
THE ayes have it. The prisoner Is dis
charged. A motion to adjourn is now in
ORDER
II move we do now adjourn sine die"
returned the lawyer. The prisoner prompt
ly seconded the motion, which was car
ried the other had been, and the court
adjourned.

II is said that Charles Wesley was some-
times easily annoyed. and on one occasion,
at a conference he became so irritated at
the prolix remarks Of a speaker that he
said 10 his brother:
"stop that mans speaking. Let US at
tend 70 business"
But the offender was relating his re.ig-
ious experience, and though II was at so
great length, John Wesley evidently
thought that no one had a right TO inter-
fere with g. He was therefore allowed
10 continue. but the moment came when
Charles could contain himself no longer.
"Un.ess he stops, he whispered 10 John.
"Iil leave the conference"
BY this time John was enjoying the
mans simple story. and he only turned
and whispered 10 some one sitting near:

According to the report OF the coroner
of the District of Columbia the pistol is
the favorite weapon with suicides as well
as with those who seek the life of their
fellow men. out of thirty-three suicides
during the year thirteen shufled off their
mortal coil through the medium of a piss
tol shot, while eight found asphyxia by
gas convenient method and the others
took various poisons. Five out OF twelve
homcides during the year resulted from
pistol shot wounds An OF this goes to
prove that the pistol is a very dangerous
weapon especially when there is a dis
eased mind back OF It. The laws against
pistol carrying cannot be too strictly cu-
