There is an interesting criminal case
on trial In washington at the present
fine. James Verser and Robert NILS
are accused Of stealing 100000 enyel-
ones worth So 600. Representative BAD
Geek. chairman Of the Republican Cam
paign Committee, was a witness against
the men. He told the jury that the en-
velopes were procured by the commit
tee on orders OF members of Congress,
and were to be used in sending out
campaign literature. Verser was jani-
tor of the building, and although at
the close OF the campaign, the 100000
envelopes were unused, when Public
Printer Palmer called for their return
they had been stolen and sold to the
junk dealers.
In a case of this kind it is difficult to
determine who ought to be arrested
and prosecuted. Those congressman
who gave the order for the envelopes
were certainly guilty of dishonest prac-
tices. Public Printer Palmer must
have known that he had no right to give
away the stationery Of the public for
partisan uses. Representative Babcock
could not have been ignorant of the
fact that he and his committee were
accepting what did not belong to them;
and, taken altogether, the janitor was
in school which taught him the les
son which landed him in the prisoners
dock II is presumed that proceedings
viii be taken against the men who
originally arranged to have the mil
lions of envelopes stolen from the Pub
lie Printing Office, but that the poor
little ianitor will have to suffer all the
penalty and disgrace.

Bostonians. James Lawrence is -
blond, tall and aristocratio looking.
He married Miss Estelle Nudge and

A Cabbage Centerpiece.

y novel and inexpensive decoration
for the dinner table was evolved by an
ingenious woman seeking to combine
the maximum of effect with the mini

charming that she resolved To make
the idea public for the benefit of other
housekeepers similarly situated. Here
it is:
Take a head of cabbage; one that has
been picked too late is best, for the
leaves open better then. and are apt
10 be slightly curled. Lay the cabbage
on fiat plate or salver and press the
leaves down and open with your hand,
firmly but gently SO as not To break
them Off. When they all lie out fiat,
stab the firm yellow heart through sew
eral times with sharp knife. until it's
outlines are lost. and then place How
ers at random all over the cabbage.
Roses are prettest. hut any flower
which has "a firm stir stem. capable OF
holding the blossom upright, viii do.
Press the stems down through the
leaves aud put in sufficient green To
vary prettily. The outer leaves of the
cabbage. the only ones to he seen when
