Tempest-tossed Nance can never, never

forbidden and she moves lffelessly. The

she makes the most Of it. But Lady Tea

FORTUNE TELLER's LUCK.
Alice Martin Creates a Sensation in
Judge Conlan's Court.


There was a scene of excitement in
Judge Conlan's court yesterday during
the testimony of Alice Martin. 1 Fifth
street, the complaining witness in the
case Of Trixie Dillon, charged with grand
larceny in stealing two diamond rings
from her Of the value of 500.
Alice testified that when she missed the
rings she at once accused Trixie who de-
MED taking them. 81 told her. said Alice,
that / had been to a fortune-teller a few
days ago and was told that 1 would be
robbed. I asked her to go with me to the
fortune-teller and we might find out who
stole the rings. She at first refused, but
finally consented. When we reached the
place TriXie would not go inside and
walked away. The fortune-teller told me
that Trixie had stolen the rings"
There was instantly a general demand
for the name Of the fortune-teller. Judge
ConIan said he would like to know If the
charter would be sustained or rejected.
Prosecuting Attorney Low said he would
like to know if he would be elected Police
Judge. Others expressed their desire to
consult the fOrtune-teller, and the prob
ability is that she will do a rushing busi-
ness for the next few days.
The case for the prosecution was con-
cluded and continuance granted till next

Coroner Hill Immediately approved the
foregoing verdict, rendered yesterday, and
thanked the jury with q cordiality that
was almost ELUSIVE He remarked after
ward that it was just such a verdict as
he had desired and expected; that he had
become tired of running after private san
itariums, attempting to make their man
ayers comply with the law.
The case Of DR.. Robertson had not been
reported to the Coroner, and the Coroner.
taking the ground that his prerogatives
had been infringed upon, caused an In
quest to be held yesterday.
Superintendent Graham testified that he
left such matters as reporting deaths to
the attending physicians. He presumed
that the law had been carried out in that
and all other cases. Head Nurse Mar
garet Anderson testified to the same ef-
feet. and the case was submitted to the
jury.
Deputy Coroner Sullivan learned yester-
day morning that John Garretty of los TIL
den street had died at the Waldeck Sani-
tarium early on Friday morning from the
effects Of an injury TO the abdomen caused
by an accidental blow with a crowbar,
which the deceased had been handling
several days before while working on the
Fifteenth-street hill When Mr. Sullivan
not been reported to the Coroner, the
head nurse replied through the phone
that Mr.. Gerretty had died from some OBJ
struction In the viscera- After giving the
head nurse his opinion of her diagnosis,
he reported the case to Coroner Hill, who
found that Gerrettys death was accident
al, and accordingly an inquest was waived.

Lieutenant Colonel Robert W. Leonard,

States District Court at o'clock yester-
day morning with Charles Hook, the IT,
year-old boy who had enlisted in Com
pany b Of that regiment without the con-
cent Of his mother. The lieutenant col
onel took the stand and declared that he
had had no intention Of treating the court
with disrespect, but he had not under
stood that the order required him person.
ally to bring the boy before the court.
As the officer was evidently ignorant Of
any law except that Of court-martial, and
as Il was clear from his statement and
appearance that no offense had been in
tended by him, he was declared purged Of
contempt and the proceedings were dis
missed. The boy was discharged and
placed IN the custody Of his mother.

When Dewey sailed into Manila

stroyed the only power capable of
maintaining order in Manila. Up to
that hour the Spanish army had pro-
tected life and property in the city.
Since that hour there has not been II
moment when the withdrawal Of the
American fleet and forces would not
have turned the city over to murder,
rapine and plumber. Every foreigner
would have been massacred and his
property destroyed or stolen. Those
are the things that would happen at
Manila tomorrow if the American
army and navy should turn their
backs ON the island and sail away, as
the anti-administration organs are in
sisting that they should do. Does
America want to be responsible to the
world for an event that would shock
civilization ? We are just as response
BILE now, and have been ever since the

tempt of mankind, but would render

losses that would be suffered by the
