Denounces n Verdict.

Evansville, Ind, Jan. 24.-In the cir
cult court here yesterday Judge Baker,
on motion Of United States District At
torney Wishard, nollied the case against
Cashier Rosenkranz, Of the wrecked
First National bank. of Mount Vernon.
Ind. The district attorney declared
his belief that Rosenkranz was not
guilty. but that Albert Wade, who was
found not guilty by jury on Satur-
day last, was the one who wrecked the
bank. Judge Baker concurred in this
and made the sensational statement
that the guilt of Wade was proved by
his own admissions on the stand and
that the jury was influenced by the
wealth and influence behind the man.
Judge Baker declared that such ver-
Gicts as that in the Wade case is what
makes mob law possible.

Early Maturing Hogs.

Young pork is always best, as we'll as
the most easily produced. Unless the
naimal is wanted as a breeder it is not
usually kept until year old. The
breeds that mature early will make
more pork at less cost at six to eight
months old than will those that keep
on growing two or three years and at
tain very heavy weights. But II is still
better to keep the breeding sow OF
some Of the coarse, large-boned hogs
and then grow ltters Of pigs from
her when mated with some of the small
breeds that mature earliest. The half.
breeds will make moro pork than will
the fhoroughbreds.

BLIND TOMS MOTHER.
Her Name Is Charity Virgins and
She Is IS Years Old.
n..viuced That Her Talented Son
uss Been Prejudiced Against Her
by Persons Whs Want to Csn.
troll His Money.

Il is not usually known that Blind
TOMS mother is alive, writes Annie
p;ttenhouse in the Philadelphia Press.
Her name is Charity Virgins. She
lives in Columbus. Ca. with one of her
daughters.
Aunt Charity is IS years old, and is
one OF the colored people who belong
10 the old southern regime. She is
courteous, intelligent. deferential and
wins the respect Of her own race and
the white race.
She is looked upon in the light Of an
oracle by the colored people in Co,um-
bus, for she has travelled far and wide
with her son. the famous Blind Tom,
musician
Aunt Charity never gets tired Of tell
ing of her son Tom. II the northern
visitor who frequents the Georgia re-
sorts will go out to the suburbs where
she lives Aunt Charity will receive the
guest with courtesy and good will and
sit and talk to her abo-t her son. the
genius of the age.
But Aunt charity mas a grievance,
and she will tell you that as soon as
she tells you anything about Tom. She
says he is not writing to her as often
as he should. Aunt Charity believes
that the people he is living with at
Highlands, N. j., have prejudiced him
against her and that is the reason she
rarely hears from him.
She probably has a good deal in her
favor in this prejudice. for there is,
something very queer about Blind
Toms being kept so closely and guard
ed so secretly in that queer old her
mtage on the coast of New Jersey.
The natives in that place say that it
is as much as q mans life is worth to
talk 10 Blind Tom; that he is guarded
like prisoner. If poor old Aunt Chari-
ty knew all about her son that the
natives are saying. the old soul would
be sorrier than she is now. Itcertainly

is true that somebody has Blind Toms
money, and his mother has not q bit
Of 1t.
She travelled for nine years with Blind
Tom, and that travelling was Is near
Heaven - she will ever get this side
Of the real Heaven. The other Heaven
which she enjoys in this life is the ex-
ceeding astOnishment she creates in
her own race by talking to them for
hours in the dusky southern twilight
Of the wonderful things she saw and
the things she heard during these great
nine years when she was north. How
ever, old Aunt Charity always winds
up with a shake of the head and says:
"But l am mighty glad to be back in
Georgia."
Aunt Charity says the reason she has
for believing that Blind Tom was pref
udiced against her was the same rea-
son that made her leave New York.
She was there four years ago. and Tom
came to her and said: "Mother, you
must go home" "Tom, what put that
into your head?" Then he put out his
hands MS If he would shove her away.
lie said: ''If you don't go we will make
YOU CO." and he intimated that the peo-
pie had told him TO say this. :
The people were evidently those
shrewd ones who knew that il Toms
family had Toms money there would
not be much left for them. Aunt Chari-
" gives it out as fact that Tom is
only 40 years old, whereas the world
has always considered him to be de-
crepit old man because he has gone out
Its sight.
Aunt Charity is not only character
IN Georgia as the mother Of Blind Tom,
but she is the mother of 20 other chill
dren. When you ask her the names of
her children it is impossible for her
'orecollect all of them.
Nothing is more pleasant to the visi-
'or to Columbus than to find Aunt
Vharity and to go out and talk to her
about Toms being imprisoned away
irom her and hear the stories of his
great power.
She is as perfectly sure as she is Of
Heaven that he is the only great genius
mat America has produced. With a
great deal Of interest she tells you of
ae first day when the little Blind Tom

published this excellent picture Of old
aunt Charity, which is here repro

Thackeray and the Cab7naa.

Thackeray loved to relate jokes on
himself, and one he especially enjoyed
was about a Reading hackman. The
author was unacquainted with the
town, and the moment he emerged
from the railway station he told q
hackney cOachman to drive him to the
nearest hotel The driver closed the
door tremendously, mounted his box
and they started. In half a minute the
cab was at standstill and Thackeray
saw the cabman at the door, bowling
to him to come out. He did so with
out a word, and found that he was at
the portico of the station hotel, which
he had failed to see was not a dozen
yards off.
But he handed the man shilling and
was entering the hotel, rather pleased
with his own sang frOid, when he was
amazed to see the cabman taking off
his coat and Offering to flight him
for the other siXpense." It appears
that on that day resolution of the
Reading town council had come into
operation empowering hackney coach
men to charge eighteenpence for any
distance within the township. This
was it's first fruits! 1t is unnecessary
to add that the cabman got his money
and Thackeray a good story to tell at
the clubs.
