FUN IN A COURTROOM.
Judge Hodges Novel Method of Pun
ishing a Reporter for Contempt.


Cincinnati Oct 15.-Judge John 7.
Hodge. of the Covlngton, Ky. common
pleas court. imposed novel punishment
upon William Hamilton. a reporter for
a Cincinnati paper. for contempt of court.
He summoned the reporter to his
courtroom and compelled him to occupy
a seat with him on the bench the whole
day
The city officials. some days ago. in
seining fish from the water works res
ervoir, caught their net on a snag and
one of them stripped and dived down TO
loosen IL Judge Hodge asked the grand
jury to indict this man for violation of
the law prohibiting bathing in the res
ervoir.
Reporter Hamilton made fun of the
proposition and the grand jury ignored
the case.
When he had seated Mr.. Hamilton by
his side on the bench, Judge Hodge
addressed the attorneys and others
present, and informed them that he
now had an associate judge with him
on the bench. Reporter Hamilton,
he said. had volunteered to give him ad
vice and suggestions as to how to con-
duct the administration of law in his
court, and he had concluded that the
young man would be of more service to
him if called TO the bench than through
the columns of his newspaper.
Whenever a lawyer would address the
court as Your Honor Judge Hodge
would stop him and call his attention to
the presence of Assistant Judge Ham
lton,' who must be included in the ad-
dress. Judge Hodge insisted that the
court be addressed as Your Honors,"
as is done where associate justices oc-
cupy the bench together.
Roars of laughter filled the courtroom
frequently through the day, as large
crowds came to witness the humlia-
tion of the reporter.
Lawyers, however. seemed to think
that Judge Hodge brought the court
into deeper contempt by this action than
Reporter Hamilton could possibly have
done

A JUVENILE ROAD AGENT.
Walker McCauI. Aged Thirteen, Is
Committed for Highway Robbery.

New York. Oct. 15.-Waiter McCaul.
thirteen years old. was taken to the
Hackensack, n. J., Jail yesterday by
Constable Charles Lozier and Justice
Wignat, who committed him for highway
robbery and assault. The officers said the
boy lived in Ridgefield and that on Thurs
day evening he held up a peddler in
place known as 1.-The hollow east of the
village on the south of the Palisades.
The most remarkable part of the story
is that the urchin jumped from behind
clump of bushes and knocked the ped
dler down with a club, infiicting a severe
scalp wound. Then the boy drew re-
volver, threatened his victim with death
if ne made an outcry, and rummaged the
pack. In this the young robber was in
terrupted by the noise of wagon wheels,
and he fed to the woods. He was identi-
fed, however and was caught by Con-
stable Lozier. The little desparado took
the matter of his arrest very coolly, and
while awaiting the arrival of Judge Ia
brskie sat down at Sheriff Herring's
desk and wrote a note to a chum, which
he asked the constable to deliver.

Vain Effort to Get Husband.

New York, Oct. l5.-May Rascin want
ed husband. The petty conventions
that prevail in social life and her own
sense of the properties forbade her pro-
posing directly to a man, so she paid
$50 to Max Bernheimer. of No 222 East
Ninety-fifth Street, to procure a husband
for her. Bernheimer was most unlucky
in his selection, and yesterday the young
woman appealed to Justice Mexican, in
the seventh judicial district court, for a
judgment for $50 against him Miss Ras-
Gin tearfully recounted to the court the
trials she had undergone in her fruitless
search for husband. She said she was
at present a governess in wealthy New
York family. She had come to this coun-
try just one year ago. After getting her
fee she declared Bernheimer introduced
her to man who was ''cross-eyed and
knock-kneed." She demurred Then
came physician, but he wanted money.
Next came John Pfenning She would
have married him, but he was found
dead one morning In his room Bernhei-
mer said he was willing to get husband
for the woman and pleaded that he had
already introduced three men to her.
Justice Mexican gave judgment for the
plaintiff.

SCORING THE INDIAN OFFICE.
DR.. Lyman Abbott Makes Complaints
Ags$inst the Bureau.

Lake Mohonk. N. Y, Oct. 15.-The Indi-
an conference yesterday adopted a plat
form presented by the Rev DR.. Lyman
Abbott, chairman, for the business COM
mittees. 1t treats of the advances made
In the treatment of Indians, but declares
there are still many abuses, and that the
Indian Bureau should be taken out of
politics. In part the platform says:
The Indian problem is still far from
solution. A needlessIy expensive system
is maintained nominally to care for the
Indian, in large measure to care for party
and political favortes. By both Demo-
cratic and Republican administrations
men have been put at the head of the IN
dian Bureau who were neither familiar
with Indian affairs nor acquainted with
methods of education.
Indian agents and Indian inspectors
have been appointed without training or
any evidence of their fitness for the of
flee. In more than one instance drunken
officials have been appointed on the reser-
vations, and well-authenticated complaints
have failed to secure their removal, or
nave resulted only in transfer to another
field. with an increased salary
In those cases in which the reserva-
tions have been discontinued and the land
has been allotted in seyeralty the entire
machinery of the agency has been re-
tanned. though no considerable service
is required
Two illustrations of the evils of this
system have been afforded during the last
year. The first is the removal of Dr.
Hailman, notwithstanding his splendid
record as superintendent of Indian
schools. attested by protests against his
removal from men of all parties and all
sections who were familiar with his
work, including many educational ex-
pertS
The second is the outbreak of Chip
pewa Indians, whose valuable pine tim
Der the government by the agreement of
1889 covenanted to sell for their benefit
and is still appraising and reappraising
as a preliminary to such sale, two sue
cessiye appraisements extrayagantly con-
Quoted having already been set aside as
worthless. with a third appraisement now
in progress.
I'VE appeal to the people of the United
States to demand of their government
that the Indian Bureau be taken out of
politics; that the work of the bureau be
intrusted to experts and left in their
hands until IL is accomplished.
And we also appeal to them to de-
mand of Congress that it set on foot at
once measures to bring the Indian Bu-
leau and its work to early close; that
it expedite the dissolution of the reser-
vations and the allotment of the land in
severalty; that II give all Indians every
where a right TO appeal to the courts and
that it thus prepare the way for the
abolishment of a costly policy unjust TO
the Indians, injurious to the whites and
an impCdiment TO civilization

dented move was made yesterday by the
prosecution in the Botlin case. Assist
ant District Attorney Hosmer appeared
before the supreme court sitting in Los
