all hostile to him.

relatives were present at the examination.
The district attorney changed the
charge from murder to murder IN lac

arguments. At their close Judge Ora 5e
reviewed the testimony fully in address

he therefore ordered his discharge. No.
wax was very pale while the Judge was
81 eahlng and at first did not realize that
he Was free After he was satisfied on
this head he shook hands WI b his attor-
neys and IN company with his broth her
left the court room.
The action of Judge Cratic Is commend
ed Dy some and severely criticised by
others. those who commend say That
Conviction before a jury would net be
possible and that tne discharge al tie
close of the examination avoided Il long
trial IL which the result would be the
same. those who condemn are much
more numerous. They say jury should
have been allowed TO pass on the merits
OF the case and that the discharge of No
wax will be an encouragement to the law
less element In the city. The matter was
the chief topic Of conversation yesterday
he judge gave the matter serious con-
sideration and did what he thought was
right. He could have escaped RESPONSE
bllity by throwing the burden upon the
jury and this would have been the wisest
course to pursue IN view of the place
where the murder was committed.
The discharge of Novak does not dis
pose of the case finally should addition
al evidence come to light. Bat 1t is quite
probable he will not be arrested rg8in.

Swallowing His Words.

"While was at Moscow" writes a
traveller, whose words are reproduced
by the Detroit Free Press, "a volume
was published in favor of the liberty OF
people. In this book the Ubiquitous
conduct of the public functionaries,
and even of the sovereign, were cen
sured severely. The book created in
dignation, and the offender was at once
taken into custody. After being tried
in a summary way, he was condemned
to eat his own words. A scaffold was
erected in public square, the imperial
provost, the magistrates and tho physi-
clans of the car attending, the book
was separated from the binding, and
the margin cut off. The author was
then served, leaf by leaf, by the pro-
vost, and was obliged to swallow this
unpalatable stuff on pain of the knout.
more feared in Russia than death. As
soon as the medical gentlemen we're of
the opinion that he had eaten as much
as he could with safety, the transgressor
was returned to prison. This punish
ment was renewed the following days,
until after several hearty meals, every
leaf of the book was actually swal-
lowed -

Many are the prayers that are
breathed for those that have gone forth
to brave the dangers of the open ocean
remarks a writer in The illustrated
American, yet catastrophes on record
have occurred in still water within
sight, almost within touch of land.
The Episcopal prayer book contains g
formula of prayer for those at sea,
which may perhaps include those that
are upon the waters of rivers or an.
chored in harbors. The horrors that
have occurred within close range Of
land make more grewsome than humor.

A Bicycle Coincidence.

A remarkable coincidence has just
happened at Portsmouth, England,
which is thus recorded by The West
minister Gazette: A local doctor, Wis.
iting colleague at his surgery three
miles oil, left his bicycle resting against
the curb outside. When his call was
ended, the bicycle was missing, and he
communicated with the police, after
ward returning home. An hour or two
later constable on duty in the neigh
borhood of this Doctors surgery saw a
cyclist fall from the machine he was
riding, which had skidded on the tram
lines. The man, a young gunner in
the Royal Artillery, was found to be
seriously hurt, and was taken to the
surgery for medical treatment. The
doctor recommended the man. y removal
to the hospital, his leg being fractured.
As he was being taken away the doctor
looked at the bicycle, and found that
it was his own! The police are now
investigating the affair.

Honoring . Dead Cat.

The most novel incident that ever oc'
Cured here was the funeral of Old Bill,
the favorite old cat of the town, says a
correspondent of the New York World,
writing from College Corner, O. A
pretty casket, covered with black cloth
and lined with blue sateen, and having
the usual outside trimmings, with a
large name-plate, inscribed cold Bill, "
was made, and the old pet laid in state
in his last nest. He was the property
of Barley, the druggist, and the pet Of
the entire inhabitants. At the drug
store, where he lay in state, hundreds
of people viewed the remains, and many
brought flowers as last token of their
friendship. The body was taken in a
carriage by the immediate friends to
the grave in the rear of Barkley's resi-
dence lot, where it was buried with
more care and solemnity than many
humans receive.
