OFENING OF AUGUST TERM OF
UNITED STATES COURT.
Atalfan Counterfeiters Sentenced by
Judge Townsend-Manv Bankrupts
Receive charges-Aubrey's Case
Etihued-Cffy Court Cases.

before Judge Townsend in the United
states court yesterday morning was
tried the cases of Luigi Bettina, Augula
Cambera and Louis Gerry, charged with
making counterfeit coins. A true bill
was returned by the grand jury and ali
three pleaded guilty. Judge Townsend
imposed sentences of seven years at
hard labor upon Bettina and Cambera,
and four years Imprisonment upon Ger
~.
The evidence in the case as brought
forward by counsel for the accused
tended to show that the counterfeiters
We're ignorant of what they were really
doing. Lawyer Fitzgerald as counsel
for CAMBRIA and Bettina stated that the
latter had only manufactured the coins
for pastime being ignorant Of the laws
in regard to the same. Cambera, he
said, had been an unwilling party to
their manufacture.
Detective Henry, an expert witness for
the government, showed that the moulds
person with more than passing
knowledge of what he was doing.
In imposing sentence the judge said
that the increase of these kind of cases
among the Italians of the state was
becoming alarming, and must be check
ed. In the case of Gerry he was influ-
enced. he said, to mitigate the sentence
attending the same, and the fact Of his
having wife and three children.

HAPPY YEARS OF YOUTH.
The Older Generations Have Had
Them and Should Be Consider
ate of the Young.

As the years go by we become little
by little out of touch with the things
with which we were wont to delight
our childish hearts. Who that is
grown to manhood or womanhood
would find much pleasure in wading
through the deep snow and exposing
himself to cold and wet? Yet when
the thick mantle of white recently COW
cred the earth, boys and girls by the
dozens might be seen romping where
the drifts were deepest, falling, rolling,
deluging one another, and all in the
best of spirits. Or they built strong
forts behind whose walls an enormous
amount of ammunition was stored in
the shape of snowballs deity rolled.
ready for use in repelling an attack of
the enemy, should one be ventured.
Then came the sally with arms laden
with the cold, white missiles, and such
shouting and laughter as only children
can produce. And, too, there was the
building of great snow men. whose
portly bodies rested on prodigious legs
and whose heads comfortably adjoined
their shoulders without the Bother of
intervening necks. All these are among
the joys that we knew in younger days.
They are just as potent and full of at
Effectiveness to the youths of to-day as
they were to us, and so it will be as long
as the world wags on and snow fails.
And although we no longer feel our
spirits moving us to take part in these
sports, we should look upon them with
deal of sympathy, recalling the ti.ues
when they were to us of as much I'M
portance as the more serious game of
life now seems to be.-Detroit Free

A Youthful PessimIst.

A new England school teacher pre-
serves among her treasures the com
position of former pupil, a boy of
~. 1t has its pathetic side, as the
neagerness of the boys life may be
conjectured from his words.
The subject given was: ''Anticipa-
ton. Do you enjoy it as much as
realization"
Dictionaries were diligently con-
suited, and the general vote placed an
ticipation on a high plane fdelight.
Not SO wrote the solemn-faced boy of
IL.
Anticipation is when you think
about things beforehand. If it's hav-
ing your teeth out, that isn't much
fun; and if it's Sunday-school pic
MICS, you can't help worrying about
the weather.
Realization is when the things
you've thought about beforehand hap
pen. Having your teeth out is little
worse than thinking about it. Sun
day-school picnics would be nice if it
didn't rain, but when it rains they
put them off; and then the day they
have them, generally, you can't go.

JEFFERSON DAY DINNERS.
Spreads by New York Democratic Club.
the Manhattan Single Tax Club and
Milwaukee Jefferson Club.

New York, April 1.-THE dinner of
the Democratic club in honor of the
anniversary of the birth of Thomas
Jefferson was held last night at the
Metropolitan opera house. Looking
from the tiers to the floor of the vast
dining hall the tables seemed
like great beds of roses. The
80 tables were on either side
of the speakers table. Each ta-
BILE was piled with a mass of roses
and ferns intertwined. So abundant
were the flowers that some of the
guests were hardly able to see each
other over the floral banks. Swans
and vases of alabaster held flowers;
there were cornucopias, or horns of
plenty, filled with flowers and fruits,
and the scene was set OF with ribbons
of cardinal silk.
The floor of the auditorium was
raised to level with that of the stage
by temporary floor, making one rec
tangular room of immense size. The
tables were set in rows parallel with
Thirty-ninth and Fortieth streets.
The guests of honor were at two ia
bles set about under the proscenium
arch and at right angles to the other
tables. The stage was set with gor-
geous palace scene of the court of
Louis NV. Four great electric chan
deliers lighted up the fI'eture.
Conspicuously placed at the west
end of the dining hall was the incrip-
ton:

from here, came to town, stating that he
had been burned out, leaving himself. his
wife and several small children in des-
titute condition. The people OF this town
opened their hearts and poeketbooks and
he went home with plenty of cash. and
clothes enough to last himself and family
through the winter.
On Sunday a woman with four small
children came into town from somewhere
in Emanuel county, having walked all the
way. She reported that her husband died
about five months ago and about a week
ago all that she had was burned up and
that she was then on her way to her
brothers, who lived at Hagan. She was
also clothed and fed and given money,
Last night The Baptist and Methodist
Sunday Schools met in the academy at

While the exercises were in progress at
the Christmas tree two fights were en-
gagged in in town. one being a negro wo-
man and negro man, in which both emp
tied their pistols and then ran away TO
keep from being arrested.
The other fight was between John Col
Inns on one side and Dave Collins and his
brother on the other. The two proved too
much for John and bpnged him up pretty
badly
