Collins, Joe Peril and John Murrietta; for
keeping houses of ill-fame, Mrs. r. M. Bal
lenger, Mrs. Slocum, Grace Carlyle, Ada
Dyer, Jennie Turner, Grace Pomeroy, Mrs
Van, May Williams and Clara Lorraine.
Complaints in these cases were all filed
on May 4th, the complainant being w. A.
Bosqui, and it is an actual fact that to this
day no one but Judge Morrison and prob.
ably Attorney Shinn knows exactly what
became of them. Certainly, the record does
not show, except in limited number of the
fifteen cases cited. 1t is interesting to ex-
anime the record in each case separately,
and the full list is therefore appended:
F. H. Shaffer, charged with renting to
Joe Wiot house for the purpose Of as
signation and prostitution. May 6-De-
fendant arraigned, bond placed at 5000,
$l0O cash being accepted in lieu of bond.
May 1l-Asl lSed further time to plead.
May l5-Asked further time to plead.
May lS set for day of pleading.
No further entry appears. So far as the
public can learn from what is supposed to
be complete detailed report of the court g
proceedings, Mr.. Shaffer is still charged
with the offense, and the court has $l00 of
his money as cash bond.
Joe Wiot, charged with renting to
Emma Abbott, 7461s North Alameda
street, a house for purposes of assigna-
tion and prostitution.
The record shows no further entry in
this case.
G. II. Shaffer, charged with renting
tenement at 726 North Alameda street
to Blanche Laborde for purposes Of as
signation and prostitution. May e--De-
fendant arraigned, bond placed at 5000.
800 accepted in lieu of 5000 bond Nav
ll-Further time to plead granted. NAV
15--Further time to plead
According to this record, the defendant
has never even entered plea to the charge
against him, and the court still has his 500.
M. t. Collins, charged with renting n
house at 4l2 North Alameda street to
Mrs. Slocum for purposes of designation
and prostitution. Defendant pleaded
not guilty. Trial set for May 20.
Mr.. Collins evidently did get to the plead
the record tells.
Joe PERI, charged with renting n
tenement at 3l6 North Alameda street
TO Jennie Turner. Defendant pleaded
The herald., 1898-11-02

against Mrs. Slocum for keeping house of
ill-fame at 4l2 North Alameda street, Grace
Pomeroy, for keeling a house of ill-fame at
54Oh New High street; Mrs. Van, for keep
ing house Of illfame at 327h New High
street, and May Williams, for keeping a
house Of ill-fame at 3571A North Main street
In all these cases Attorney Shinn was the
counsel for the defense and in each case his
client was discharged on grounds stated by
the court In am opinion which is not to be
found in the archives of the police court.
One poor, deluded mortal, Jennie Turner,
charged with keeping house of ill-fame at
3l6 North Alameda street, pleaded guilty
of the charge on May 6, and the court
promptly fined her $3.50 and sentenced her
to sixty days in Jail. Joe Peril, charged
with renting the house to her, was dis
charged, for reasons not stated in the rec
ords. The district attorney finally discov-
cred that attempts to maintain a prosecu-
tion would prove futile and on his motion
the cases against Clara Lorraine and Ada
Dyer were dismissed
THE VINNELLE EPISODE
Another striking instance wherein the
loose methods prevailing in Justice Nor
rison's court were brought conspicuously
before the public was in the case of Maybury
against Deputy Constable s. H. Vinnelle.
The charge was battery and a warrant was
issued for Vinnelle's arrest in September.
1896, in Justice Morrison's court. It was
never served. In January of 1897 the com
plainant, after vainly endeavoring to OBJ
tain some. action in the case, went before
the grand jury and related the circum-
stances. Nothing came Of it Immediately,
but in February, during Justice Morrison's
absence from court Justice Rossiter sitting
Ill his stead, issued an alias or duplicate
warrant for Vinnelle's arrest. Even then
the constable was not brought before the
court until March 25, when he voluntarily
appeared at the station and surrendered
himself.
All these circumstances became known to
the public and the word was passel among
the criminal fraternity that Morrison's
department was the place to get Justice"

to maintain a conviction therein was and

So far as one is able to learn from this
record, PERI is still in Jail. In the case ol
John Murrietta, charged with renting q
house to Nine. Van for the purpose of pros
titution, the record is somewhat different
The defendant was duly arraigned, pleaded
not guilty, and deposited 500 cash in lieu Of
the 5000 bond. His counsel, John Burdette
filed demurrer against the complaint, and
on May l8 the court sustained the defend
ants claim and he was ordered discharged
The record shows the disposition of the
case, but the courts opinion or ruling, set
ting forth the. ground for such action, is
not to be found.

house of prostitution and lewdness at
205 Marchessault street. Arraigned and
500 cash accepted in lieu Of 5000 bond.
May l3 set for pleading. May ls-At-
torney Shinn filed a motion to dismuss
and demurrer to the complaint. Rul-
ing reserved. May l8-Court denied the
motion for dismissal, but sustained the
demurrer, on grounds as stated in the
opinion filed. Defendant discharged.
Again an effort to find the opinion allUd.
ed to was in vain. The papers in the case
are strangely missing, despite the fact that
almost all of the prosecutions in the cases
oSo.hst nCcPeIS Vi HOUSES Oh lll-Idine seem
to have been decided on the grounds given
by the court in the Carlyle case opinion, as
will be seen in the following records:

in the Carlyle case opinion and defend

A pathetic commentary on the es-

A pathetic commentary on the es
TEEN in which the world holds
the memory of Prince Bismarck
is to be seen in the fact that
hardly word in the vast food of mes
sages of coincidence that flowed upon
Friedrichsruhe spoke of human pity
or human love for the dead, observes
the Christian Register. 1t seemed
that even Germany had ceased to re-
member that Otto Won Bismarck was
at any time man, bat regarded him
as fallen political colossus whose i'm
passive brow had reached far above
the lightning and the clouds; sort of
modern Zeus, at whose imperious nod
united Germany had arisen out of
chaos; a divinity whom human maligni-
.ty might and did reach, but who was
beyond the love of man. Germany laid
her legendary hero into the grave
with Wanting upoh her lips, but the
scalding tears that were shed by the
world when Gladstone was committed
to earth were wanting at the cold and
formal obsequies of Prince Bismarck.

A Convenient Pocket.

Ladies who intend travelling will
find that a pocket for valuables which
is now on sale at all the stores will be
found most useful It is made on the
simplest cut of ehatelaine pocket, but
has no harsh or hard fittings or clasps.
1t is made of the softest gray chamois,
and is divided off into various little
pockets for different kinds of valu-
ables or money, and the flaps buttoned
down tightly.
The pocket can be worn under the
dress skirt, and is fastened to thin
but stout belt Of linen by suspender
straps of the same.

Care of Lamps.

The light Of oil lamps is so much
softer and less Injurious for the eyes
than fickering gas, or even electricity,
that it really should be used instead
of these in all Nurseries and children's
rooms, and the only drawback about
lamps is that they require such care
full tending to keep them in safe and
bright condition. But given con-
scientious nurse, or mistress who un-
dertakes their management herself, all
will be we'll. One very necessary thing
in lamps is that the oil reservoir be
kept scrupulously clean inside; no oil
is so pure that it does not leave sed-
ment, and, if this sediment be allowed to
accumulate, the succeeding oil fails to
burn as brightly as it otherwise would.
Lamp reservoirs should be washed out
once o week with hot water and pearl
ash and be allowed to thoroughly drain
and dry before new oil be added. The
burner should also be frequently
cleaned-once a day, il fact-and
every orifice should be thoroughly
cleaned out; the wick should be wiped
at the top with apiece of soft rag to
remove the charred edges, and if the
wick should be found to burn rather
cloudily, it may be necessary to re-
move it the next morning and soak it
for an hour or two in vinegar and
water. 1t should be quite dry before
being again placed in the burner.

American Girls.

An artist who has just finished
visit to this country is quoted as say
ing that we do not as people do jus.
tice to the beauty and refinement Of
our great middle classes, especially in
matters pertaining to the dress and
department of the women. Stand"
he exclaim ID, sat the side door of any
one of your large industrial establish
ments on some Saturday morning in
June, and watch the outrush of the
working force! The girls will not be
only we'll formed and well groomed,
so to speak, but many of them will
have an air of distinction which the
thoughtless fancy must only belong to
good blood and breeding. Their cos
tunes, of course, are such as come
within their means, and it is just here
that their good taste is shown. Give
an American girl straw hat and
shirt-waist, with necktie and belt to
match, and she steps out on the side
walk as fresh, as comely, and as we'll
dressed as her more favored sisters,
and, what is more remarkable, in in
6nitely better taste than any other
working girl OF her class in any quar-
ter of the globe of which 1 know any
thing"
The French girl, he further main
tanned, though attractive in her work
ing dress, was invariably sombre-a
black bombazine, low shoes, and black
stockings, sometimes an apron, and
less often a bonnet-while the Ger
mans and English and Italians kept
their best clothes for Sunday outings
and holidays. But the effect, he
claimed, was more often one of over
dress than of neatness and appro-
priateness.
1t may be with us that the great de-
partment stores, who cater for the
patronage of this great middle class,
are more or less responsible for the
good appearance of these girls, and
incidentally for this artists outburst
of praise. When hats and shirt-waists
can be bought for fraction of dol
lar, with hundreds of patterns and
colors to choose from, it is perhaps
not to be wondered at that our young
women have won for themselves so
enviable reputation. .-HarpsSs-3a:

Washing Made Easy.

Washing haue LdeSs
Have water scalding hot in the
washer.
If the water is hard and clothes
much soiled, use one pint of washing
fluid; soap enough to make good
lather.
Put in as many of the least-soiled
pieces as the washer will hold, and
work we'll.
Put in all light ginghams, calicoes,
lawns or percales, as this mixture does
not fade them, and is also excellent for
woolens.
When all white and light articles
have been put through, strain the wate-
through thin cloth, flour sack be-
ing most convenient.
Then use the suds for dark cloth
ing, which would show lint if not
strained.
For the second suds, have the water
with less of the fluid and as much
soap as necessary. A teacupful OF the
former is often enough. With soft
water, much less can be used satisfac-
torily.
Rinse we'll and hang out. This fluid
neither fades nor rots the clothes, as
the ammonia brightens the colors.
It is essential to rinse well. This
does away with boiling, which is Of
ten task in the winter, but IN the
summer one sudsing will do, with boil

An interesting example of how ma
ture accommodates herself to circum-
stances, is related by resident OF
the arid section insthe western part OF
Texas It was in connection with an
experiment in coaxing plum trees to
grow. In a portion of this arid re-
gion near Alpine, a stream of water
runs from thirty to forty feet below
the surface, too far for the roots of
trees to reach it, and the country,
therefore, was treeless. But an emf
grant from Ohio thought ont way to
force tree to bore for water. He
selected hardy plum, cut off the
small roots, leaving only the tap
root, and planted it deep. He fed the
root with water daily, through hole
in the ground, and by cutting off the
sprouts as they appeared, he concen-
trated the growth OF the tree on the
tap-root. He proved his theory. In
time. that tap-root reached the under
ground water supply, and no further
care of the tree was necessary. Other
trees were treated in like manner, and
the result is thrifty orchard in a re-
gion where rain seldom falls. An
other unique development is that
trees grown from the seed of the Ohio
mans stock needno education. They
bore for water as soon as they are SET
out, and there is little or no growth
above ground until the water il
reached.

Professor Mommsen's complacent
prophecy that the British empire will
soon disintegrate, and that in the
process France will get Egypt, Russia
will tcke India, and Germany will ap-
propriate South Africa, is redolent of
the perfume of the cloister. He
seems to forget that across the north
ern frontier of India nature has
stretched almost impregnable fortii-
cations in the steep mountain range
that guards the border; that Egypt
will be quite as difficult to take and
keep today as when Napoleon tried
the experiment, and that Germany IN
South Africa is helpless against Brit
ish sea power.

Brave Colo red Sergeant.

Thomas Shaw, colored, Sergeant
Ninth United States Cavalry, was
in command of "a detachment Of
his troop near Carlo Canon, New
Mexico, August ~, 1881. The little
band ran onto signs which showed
Enthusiastically that a large force OF
hostile Apaches was in the immediate
neighborhood. Shaw turned to his
dusky following: "You are under my
command" he said, edo as well by
me as you would by the Lieutenant" ="
The Apaches they attacked. In num-
bers they were five to one. Under
their Sergeant's leadership the men
stood like rocks. Though their posi-
ton was extremely exposed they beat
off their assailants gallantly. The
savages tried to surround the black
troopers. By an exhibition of tactical
and strategic knowledge, credit
able to any commissioned officer,
Shaw prevented this movement Of the
Apaches time after time. Relief
came after hours Of fighting and cease
less watching. Congress gave Shaw
a medal, which he wears as proudlya as
he would knot on either shoulder.

Women Doctors of Antiquity.

The first qualified woman physician
in Europe, so far as is known, was q
young Athenian woman named Agno-
dice. In the year 800 B. @. she dis
guised herself as man and began to
attend the medical schools at Athens,
which it was against the law for a
woman to do. She afterward practised
among the women of Athens with ex-
traordinary success. But her secret
becoming known, she was prosecuted
for studying and practising medicine
illegally. The Athenian women, how
ever, raised SO furious an agitation in
consequence that the case was dropped
and the law repealed. Coming to later
times, we find several women who OBJ
tanned the degree of doctor of medi-
cine, and practised in Europe before
1892, especially in the Moorish uni
versities Of Spain. Trotula, of
Rugiero, in the eleventh century had
q European reputation, and practised
as doctor in Salerno. At the be-
ginning of the fourteenth century
Dorothea Bocchi not only received
the degree of doctor, but was professor
of medicine in the famous University
of Bologna. Since then two women
have been professors of medical SUBJ
iects in the same university--Anna
Mangolini (anatomy) and DR.. Maria
delle Dome (obstetric medicine), the
latter being appointed in 1899. In
the year 1911 an edict was issued in
France forbidding surgeons andfemale
surgeons from practising until they
had passed a satisfactory examination
