CONTEMPT OF COURT
JUDGE BAILEY.
From the Law Notes.

From the Law Notes.
According to newspaper accounts,
Judge William F. Bailey, of the Cir
cult Court of Wisconsin, has very ex-
treme notions of judicial dignity and
his power to punish for contempt 1t
seems that Judge Bailey was up for re-
election, and one of the members of
the bar took the stump for the judges
opponent. Judge Bailey objected to
the speech which the lawyer deliver
ed, and ordered the arrest of latter tor
contempt. Then he hauled up the
editor of newspaper which published
an article advocating the election of
his opponent. Naturally these two
offenders against the dignity of the
Circuit Court of Wisconsin desired TO
be tried before Judge who was not
prejudiced. They asked for a change
of venue, and Judge Bailey held that
their request was fresh contempt of
court, for which he threatened to pun
iSh both of them. Then they went to
the Supreme Court and obtained a
stay of proceedings. That, according
to the account, was still another con-
tempt, and he sentenced both men to
serve thirty days in Jail. The warrant
was given to the sheriff, but that off,
cial, not desiring to run up against TIE
Supreme Court, left town rather than
arrest the two men, The case will BE
heard by the Supreme Court, and il
will be interesting to learn just how
far judge may go, in the opinion of
the highest tribunal in Wisconsin, in
maintaining the dignity of his court.

JUDGE MILLER.

Judge Thomas F. Miller of the
Police Court, we are pleased to
learn. is getting better and will
soon fill his old position as Judge
of the Police Court.
He has had long illness, caused
no doubt by over work. The many
friends of Judge Miller will hail
with delight his return to the
bench.

THE PRESIDENT WILL
DO JUSTICE.

Recent developments as observed
in the political field, show how un-
just it is. to PREJUDICE President
McKinley's inclinations toward
the colored people. Notwithstand-
ing the great obstacles which were
acknowledged to be in the way OF
the President to retard his pro-
gress, many of our leading pessi-
mists and alarmists began to charge
him openly with being untrue to the
promises he had made through his
party managers. The episode in
which the Postmaster General was
harshly characterized and the gene
raj TRADE INDUCED in by one of our
leading journalists form the lead
ing features of the more recent con-
troversies INDUCED in. Aside from
these, there were and still are, NUT
terings of discomfort and suspicion
coming from many quarters. Tow
far were the first kickers from their
prophecies may be seen in the fact
that in both cases they have failed
of fulfllment. In the first case
there was splendid recognition in
the appointment of two men to po-
sitions never before held by colored
men. with indications that very
soon there will be others. In the
case of the general kicking, the
fact that the President has begun in
substantial and handsome
manner to do right by the colored
brother places said kicker on the
other side of the fence. And of
course the smaller malcontents fall
in the same category. The indica-
tons are positive and encouraging
and we may now expect to see, as
we predicted, greater recognition
for the colored people than was ever
conferred before. The manifesto
tions of distrust have been unwar-
ranted and it is to be hoped that in
future our would-be leaders and
cheap advisers will read more clear
ly and with more patience the signs
of the times. The President will
prove beyond doubt his friendship
for and fairness toward the race
and it will only require little time
to see it. There is no objection
to vigorous protest against un-
fairness when it has actually exist
ed or continues to exist for some
time, but it is out of taste and i'm.
polite as well as unwise to show no
disposition to give the President
fair time. The new adminlstra-
tion has been in the harness hardly
five months. Give the party lead
ers little more time brethren and
we shall see what we shall see.

WHAT I SAW AND HEARD.

Col. James hill mas UeeH euecCeu
with political fever. The appoint
ment of Wimberly, Demas and
others has caused the old gentle
IN an to think. He will be thinking
more than what he is before he is
landed.
The black Prince OF Louisiana,
Lord Chesterfield Demas has been
landed. He holds the winning
card and will play it. He has no
fayors to ask. He has money and
influence and President Mckinley
has done the handsome thing by
appointing him.
Mr.. W. A. Gaines is still waiting
to be appointed Register of the
Treasury. Perhaps he will not
have to wait much longer before he
is told that he cannot be appoint
ed.
There is a great deal of dissatis-
faction among colored republicans
throughout the country because
their only representative coloreS
man has not been appointed as yet.
Col. NJ. M. Holland, one of the
original Mckinley men has not
been provided for as yet. Colonel
Holland was q hard worker for
Major Mckinley when the District
braves were electing delegates to
the St. Louis convention.
1t is the general talk among our
District republicans that Col. NJ. NJ.
Parker our national committeeman
should name all District appoint
ments. He is the only representa-
tive we have and should be consult
ed on all questions pertaining to
the District. The question is, why
is not he consulted? Is it the iH
tention of the administration tofgz
more our only and legal repressntE
tive! The District may be needed

NORTHEASTERN
PENNSYLVANIA
FUNERAL OF REV. WESTLAKE.
I Was Largely Attended at Dallas
Yesterday Morning.

Wilkes Barre, Oct. 14--The funeral
of the late Rev. w. Is. Westlake took
place at the Dallas Methodist Episco-
pal church this morning at IL o'clock
and was, perhaps, the largest ever seen
in that pretty hamlet. The body of the
deceased reposed in a solid oak casket
lined with cream satin and plainly
trimmed with silver. The plate on the
lid contained simply his name and the
date of his birth and death. Many
floral tributes, from loving friends,
were placed upon and around it, and
as the multitude thronged into the
parsonage to view the remains before
the service, it was hard to believe that
the occupant of the casket was dead,
the features We're so life-like in their
expression.
The floral tributes were many and
most beautiful. A sheaf of ripened
wheat, wreaths of full-blown roses, etc,
being most prominent.
The services, as usual in the case Of
deceased minister, were under the
immediate direction of Presiding Elder
j. C. Eckman. of Scranton, but elo-
quent tributes of respect to the worth
of Mr.. Westlake as a man, a teacher,
a minister, singer and a Christian,
were delivered by DR.. l.. L. Sprague.
of Wyoming seminary; Rev. Austin
Griffin, of Binghamton; Rev. w. M
Hitler, of SusQuehanna, and Revs. j.
c. Leacock and ]. B. Sumner, the re-
naming members of the Itinerant trio
Rev. DR.. Eckman spoke especially of
his value as a member of the trio, and
likened it. without Mr.. Westlake, to a
musical instrument with one of its
keys silent.
Revs. Sumner and Leacock sang a
duet, entitled go to Thy Rest" in a
very affecting manner, and aided by
Rev. Abel Wrigley. of Carverton, and
Rev. Stephen Jay, of Ashley, they also
sang several hymns of consolation and
resignation.
Superintendent d. T. Bound, of the
Wilkes-B Barre and Northern railroad,
placed three cars at the disposal of the
funeral party and attaching them to
the 1.10 p. m. train they were carried
direct to the cemetery at Forty Fort,
where in beautiful spot near the bank
of the Susquehanna all that was NOR
tai of Pastor Westlake was laid to
rest. Nearly hundred friends accom-
panied the remains to their last rest
ing place.
Much credit is due Undertaken Brick
el for the excellent arrangements in
connection with the funeral.
Among the ministers present We're:

der, A. F. Chaffee, +. d. Cornell, j. G..

THE MARKETS.
Wall Street Review

New York, Oct. H.-The action OF prices
an todays stock market might be likened
to the toilsorne and arduolrs efforts of a
weakened animal to climb to a secure
station only to be continually ttmbled
backward by a single hostile stroke Tho
ready success of the bears in depressing
prices led them occasionally to take prof
It's. These spasmodic covering movements
were achieved without affecting any
marked change in the general level of
prices and resulted in an almost stagnant
condition. Chicago Gas continued to oc-
cupy by far the largest share of atten-
tion and ranged over 45s points during
the day. Sugar came next, and was also
under heavy pressure declining at one
time points below last nights lever. The
gold which was shipped last week from
Europe began to arrive today. The money
market continues easy, though with no
appreciable change in rates. Dealings in
bonds were on reduced scale and the
tone was weak. Total sales of stocks
were 39l, $50 shares

KENNEDY'S BAD LUCK.
Misfortunes That Have Arrived Punc-
tuaIIy at $40 Friday Mornings.
Me-, Special in the Sun

Bucksport, Me-, Special in the Sun.
When a person in this village has a
run of i'll fortune that gets after him
and follows him up persistently, the
neighbors say he is having ''Kennedy's s
luck"
Tom Kennedy removed here from
Bangor, twenty years ago, bringing his
wife and six small children along.
Though he had no trade, he got a good
living working about the sawmills,
and when Peter, his oldest boy, was
big enough to go to work, the father
owned his house and had money in the
bank.
At $50 one Friday morning fifteen
years ago Patsey, the youngest Ken
nedy child. walked on some ice while
going to school, and the ice giving
away, the boy was drowned. After
that the Kennedys were prosperous
for ten years. The father built a big
new house, and was getting rich by
taking boarders. The children We're all
at work earning money. Then a big
pile of edging fell on Peter crushing
him to daath. The accident which
killed Peter took place at $50 on Fri
day morning. At $50 one Friday
morning fifteen months later the house,
full of bedding and furniture, caught
fire and the Kennedys were without a
home.
The father put up a new house and
was about to move it. when it caught
fire and burned down. The fire de-
partment records show that the alarm
was turned in at $50 on a Friday morn
ing. Before another new home could
be put up, Miss Sadie Kennedy, a
grown-up daughter, became insane and
was sent to the asYIIm at Augusta.
Last week she died crying: Friday!
Friday, at half past So The attendant
who was with her at that time says
she died at $50 on Friday morning.
