The court then read his instructions
to the jury They were quite lengthy
and covered the entire ground of the
case in a very impartial manner. The
closing paragraph seemed to- sum up the
intention of the court in the conduct of
the case 1t was as follows:
In conclusion, Gentlemen of the Jul
ry, urge upon you to weigh well the ev-
idence before you and ponder upon
these instructions now given, that you
man not, perhaps, by careless disregard
of your responsibilities fail in conserv-
ing the rights of society on the one
hand, or on the other to condemn to
punishment one who may have done no
wrong. Courts are only respected when
there is an earnest desire and true en-
deavOr on the part of all its officers
only to do right. Any departure from
this justly arraigns the law tribunals
for inehiciency and excites a public dis
regard and contempt for their DEGREES;
neither passion nor sympathy should
swerve or sway, but you should keep as
certainly to the course pointed out by
impartial justice as the needle is faith
full to the pole; then only shall you es-
cape an accusing conscience and re-
deem the oath bound obligations as
sumed by each of you at the time you
were chosen to hear attentively, to con-
strue wisely and determine JUSTLY

ANOTHER STORY.
Dr.. Buckley Editorially Scores DR..
Abbott in Spite of Recent Words.

New York, Feb. 1S.-Dr. J. NJ. Buck
ley, editor of the Christian Advocate,
editorially denounces DR.. Lyman Alb
bott for his recent sermons on "The
Bible as Literature He says in part:
"A close study of DR.. Abbott's utter
ances-nOt in the sensa tional reports
against which he justly complains, but
in the carefully prepared editorials and
signed articles in The Outlook-leads to
the conclusion that he is not orthodox
in any sense which justifies his indorse-
ment by those who desire to contend
earnestly for the faith once delivered
to the saints And his personal char
acter, philanthropic instincts, diversi-
fled achievements and abundant re-
sources of speech and of the press rem
der him far more dangerous to the in
tegrity of the gospel system and to the
influence of the evangelical churches
than any other person who has arisen
in this country since the early days of
the great Unitarian secession in New
EDoland"

LATEST SOCIETY FAD.
The French Smart Set Insists That
DOGS Shall BE Married.

DOGS shall BE married.
There is a brand new fad in swell,
dom It is the dog marriage To be
thoroughly fashionable nowadays one
must own two dogs of opposite sex, and
they must have been duly married by
the staid and respectable canine select
ed by the fashionable community to act
as the representative of the cloth.
Of course, says the New York Herald.
it is from France that this new fad has
come. When it is necessary to discover
something particularly eccentric
French genius always comes to the res
cue. The fashionable to whom fell the
honor of introducing this new and
rather remarkable step for the advance
ment of canine creation was none other
than Nine. Ephrussi, daughter of Baron
Alphonse de Rothschild, the wife of
Maurice Ephrussi.
The initial wedding of dogs in high
society is so novel as to be well worth
description. In the first place Nine.
Ephrussi sent out formally engraved IN
vitations to several hundred of her
friends, announcing the approaching
,nuptials of Diane, her favorite poodle,
and LIE Petit Major, a handsome poodle,

tents of these invitations asked to come
themselves, but requested to also bring
their dogs.
Not the least odd and attractive fea-
ture of the whole affair was the fact
that many of these visiting dogs-in
truth, the majority of them-were in
full evening dress. Not evening blank
cts, but, if the dog was a make, in the
swallow tail and trousers of the human,
together with the standing collar,
dress shirt and unspeakable tie.
With all this gorgeousness on the part
of the guests, what must have been the
worldly splendor that surrounded the
bride and groom! Diane, who is de-
scribed as poodle of rare grace and
beauty, wore a white satin dress.

1t Proved to be n Disastrous Dis
cOvery.
The Philadelphia Times gives an ac-
count of a singular accident which oc-
CURED the other day in that city. Two
Italian boys, with hand organ and
monkey, were amusing a crowd and
incidentally collecting pennies at
street corner, when the monkeys atten-
ton was caught by roll of pasteboard
which he found near the curbstone.
Angelo, the older boy, who was
turning the crank, stopped for a mo-
ment to chide the monkey for his mat
tention to business. The chiding had
no effect, and the other fellow, Michael.
after some difficulty, got the paste
board and carried it to his brother,
who, with 4 curiosity equal to the
monkeys, began striking it against the
organ.
The crowd by this time was edging
back, and several voices called to the
Italians to be careful what they were
about; for the crowd saw plainly
enough that the mysterious object was
nothing but a cartridge
The Italians understood no English.
and presently there was flash and a
report, and the two boys were dancing
about the pavement, Angelo wringing
bis hands, while Michael had both hands
to his head. The organ, badly dam
aged, lay on the sidewalk, and the
monkey sat at the top of lamp post.
An examination of the boys after
they were taken to the hospital showed
That one of them had lost the thumb
and forefinger of his right hand, while
the other had received scalp wound.
