then 1t Is almost certain that Auditor Wal ter s. White will make the race.
 The auditor did not have much to say on the subject today. He intimated that he would hot disturb the candidacy of MT. Brown, but should that gentleman with draw, Captain White will probably be a candidate. There will be enough candi- dates in the race to make it interesting.
 Jackson will put up Hon. Jesse Brown; Madison will have to choose between her many-times candidate, Judge Wm. Kleh- ardson and Hon. Milton Humes; Morgan will support Colonel Sam Blackwell; Col bert will ask that it be either Brown or White, and Paul Hodges is in the race from Bauderdale. 4 This leaves the battle-ground in Limestone and Lawrence. It is race full of interest.

The decision of the court reads as fol-
lows:
1T is shown by the testimony that.
"First-The darkness was not the re-
suit of neglect or defective apparatus,
but part of the performance, an ex-
pected scenic makeshift, long sane
toned by the acceptance of the public.
''Second-The door of the box had

selves, and for their sole convenience.
Moreover, the submissive and even
encouraging attitude of the woman
plaintiff under certain manifestations
of tenderness which she described is a
clear proof that she had really no OBJ
lection to the extinguishing of the
lights which she now thought incrimin-
ate.
Therefore, for all these reasons. each
of which is itself sufficient, the court
rejects the demands of the plaintiff
and condemns her to pay all costs of

dependent, and many times immovable.
On one occasion, Madame Salisbury
called to engage him to make a noun

her house, intending, as was the Gus
tom with genteel people at that time,
to supply the less elaborate materials
from her own kitchen eVottier, who in
tended to furnish all or none, inquired:
Madame, who is to make your plain
cake?"
Il shall make that myself"
Then you may make your mountain
cake, too" said the imperturable
F'renchman; and undoubtedly he car
ried his point, and obtained the making
of the whole.
He was probably the first to make
and sell ice cream in Worcester, and
introduced CONNECTIONS made by meth
DDS learned in France. Some of his
habits in the manufacture of his pro-
ducts would offend a delicate sense, as
aff1xing sugared caraway seeds to the
frosting of his cakes by moistening
them with his tongue.
But this slight circumstance proba-
( bly, would not appal those who have
in more recent years intruded unexpect-

prominence in the town, who influenced
4 the opinions of it's citizens in no small
degree. Heswas a member of the Socie-
ty of Friends. or q, Quaker, but one VINO
did not hesitate to divert himself on
! occasion of the sedate habit of that sect.
He had a large part in town affairs,

the general court. In accepting office

after the custom of his brethren. Sew
eral stories are extant which illustrate

emergency. OF robust frame, he did
not rely on his Quaker garb for protec-
ton.
! On being approached in a menacing
| attitude by one of the familiars at a
| Worcester tavern, who was unduly ex-
t9hilarated, and mistook his man, New

Levi, if thee lays a hand on me I'll

Levi, after blinking at the drab coat

not to risk the encounter. Newton died
in middle life, his usefulness cut short

With a brief sketch of Jesse w

close. He was well-known in his tins
as an able and effective advocate OF
temperance, the founder and editor OF
the Cataract and Waterfall temperance
papers, and was generally esteemed by
those who knew him.

KISS in THE DARK.
And Mile. Rignon Found That Thief Had
Taken Her Diamonds.

A Paris. correspondent of the Phila-
delphia Times writess-
A form in the gaslight, a kiss in the
dark and Mile. Louise Bignon and her
jewels had parted company. At ieast
that is the substance of the young wo-
mans testimony in court yesterday
and there is no doubt that the young
woman tells the truth for her frank
ness is startling.
Mile. Bignon is the fiancee of M. Pau
Lombard, a young man well knoWr
about town. She is one of those tall
magnificent blondes, stylish and in tbs
first bloom of youth. So proud was mel
| lover of his conquest that he had show
cred all sorts of fine presents upon
her, and her diamonds were the admir-
alton of all who beheld her.
The other night Lombard took his
promised wife to a performance at La
Scala, one of the most famous MUSIC
halls in Paris, and the two occupied q
box. AS the night was close and
warm they left the door open-and
therein lies moral.

and She commenced shrieking.
The audience arose altogether, and

while Louise and Paul ran hither and
thither, adding to the confusion. F1nal-

couple went home.

wizard was singularly ape-like in
appearance, as testified by his portrait
now IN the museum of the Worcester
society OF Antiquity, painted by Jere-
nhIah stiles, a representation of which
IS mere given. But he was no fool and
is said to have done good service in tbe
war, in which he was disabled bv a
rupture Of a serious nature, received at
me storming of Stony Point, where the
British, to break the ranks of the Am
erlcans, rolled barrels filled with stones
uoWn the declivity. One of these
knocked Peter down and passed over
hln disabling him from further duty.
Jeremiah Stiles was prodigy of tall
emu. lie was engaged as a sign and
carriage painter in Worcester for many
years, TO WHICH vocation he was con-
nned as means of livelihood, but was
capable OF higher art. Indeed, he at
one time contemplated going to Eng
land to place himself under the in
struction of Benjamin West, but cir
cumstances compelled him to forego
this purpose.
lie was uncommonly well versed in
literature, and knew SHAKESPEARE by
heart, being able to recite nearly, all
MS plays without the text. In com
position he exhibited considerable tall
ent, and had some ability as a
speaker
II seems strange now that so able a
person should have been destined to
spend his energies in the pursuit of the
humble calling he followed. Many
specimens of his workmanship are still
preserved, among them the carved
wooden figure of justice, which was
placed on the court house in 1903, and
remained there until the demolition of
hat building in 1898.
Stiles was an athlete and an expert
swimmer. He met his death on the
ID of July, 1926 in attempting to dive
lnder the floating bridge at Lake Quin-
'igamond.
Peter Slater, at the age of 10, one OF
ne famous Boston tea party was for
more than fifty years prominent cit
zen of Worcester, coming here in IT'S.
He was rope-maker by trade and
carried on the business in the rear of
he site of the old Quinsigamond bank
on Main street. He also kept
tavern. He was a democrat. and for
number of years was one of the town
BOARD of selectmen. He was a man of
more than ordinary ability, and pos
3essed a good share of wit.
Being asked if he was not afraid to
i've between two lawyers, he replied,
No, not as long as he kept the end of
The law (ineaning the rope) in his own
hands.
His youthful exploit gives an inter-
EST to his name, and to the circunl-.
stance that he was a Worcester citi-
zen most of his life. His remains rest
n Hope cemetery.

AMERICAN ENGINE.
VIII Not Last as Long as the English But
Otherwise Good.

The American engine, while it lasts,
is quite as good a machine and quite as
efficient per unit of nominal power as
the British locomotive, only it will not
last SO long. And the American en-
gineer says with much emphasis and
reason that he does not want it to last
so long, because it must in a decade or
little more become virtually obsolete
and block the way Of more modern and
up-to-date machines with which he
would like to replace it.
And so one contents himself with his
cheaper steel tubes and fire boxes and
gets as much work out of them as his
British confere does out Of his more
expensive brass or copper. By the time
the steel tubes and boxes are worn out
he is almost read for a new magazine
Engineering Magazine.
