perfect before. II the court had erred
in any respect, its former ruling be-
came the law Of this case and was final
and conclusive. Mr.. Bingham read
longextracts from law books to sustain
his contention.
The court read the code covering
such matters, sections 1916 and 1926,
requiring re-submlssion "to the same
or another grand jury"
Hayden replied that counsel for de-
fense took two positions that were
directly contradictory, that the court
had no jurisdiction, aud also that the
court had Jurisdiction and that this
fact acted as a bar. The court had not
sustained the former demurrer, except
a. a matter OF form 10 clear the
docket.
Mr.Gesrin arguedthat violation Of
a section OF the new law could not
be tried under section S0s Of the old
code.
The COurt:-Was II not possible for
man 20 violate Two sections OF a
state law at once ?
Counsel replied there could not be
two statutes covering one criminal |
act.
The court: II two men went into
church and knocked each other down,
would II not violate the law against
disturbing meetings and breach Of
peace besides?
Counsel argued that here we're stat
utes covering the same crime, one a
new andspecial act that took the place
Of the old law that coYered forgery OF
public records.
The indictment was drawn under
the old statute for crime commit
ted under the new law. There was
no such crime as altering talley-sheets
under the old law. The decision on
yhe former demurrer, II the record
showed 10 was sustained, declared

| friendship. With them, as with the
Anglo-Saxon race to-day, the firm
handshake was the usual form Of salu-
tation in public. In medieval times
the kiss became the symbol Of other
sentiments. The vassal had to kiss
the sword Of his feudel lord. The
"osculum gladii correcti'' was the
symbol Of fealty. In courts Of justice
the crucifx on the Bible was kissed,
q custom still extant in English Courts
and in the Magistrates Courts Of New
York. In the latter, by the way, the
innovation has just been introduced
to have Bibles with cellulid covers,
which are wiped with wet sponge
by the bailiff after each administration
Of the oath.
In, Austria it is considered good
breeding to kiss the hand Of women.
The sterner sex has to be satisfied
with the verbal kiss your hand.
In Italy the hand-kiss among women
is sign Of great intimacy, and there
fore restricted to close friends. In
Russia the hand-kiss Of women is un
known. There the forehead is kissed.
IF Russian woman wants to bestow
particular distinction upon guest she
Kisses his brow when he enters the
room, and she hands him saucer with
brandy. The Russian peasant salutes
his lord by embracing his knees and
kissing them. The Pole kisses the
shoulder Of his superior, and the Czech
kisses his clothes.
Here in America kissing in public
is confined to the dear girls, who kiss
each other in the street, the street
car, the theatre, in fact, wherever they
meet.

day as the most important that has
come to hand for months past The
capture of Mabini, reported by Mac
Arthur from Bayambang. is especially
gratifying. 1t is believed the Filipino
leader was trying to make his way
across the country from Bangued,
where he had been obliged to part COM
pany with Aguinaldo fortnight ago,
to the east coast of Luzon. All the
members of the Philippine commission
now in Washington declare without re-
serve that Mabini was the head amt
front Of the insurrection.
Aguinaldo was only a figurehead.
Mabini was the brain and direction of
the power behind him. He is a par
alytic, an old man, but of eXtraordi-
nary ability, and his counsels are al
ways conclusive with the Filipinos. He
was concerned in the first uprising
against the Spaniards. For short
time ne wavered upon Aguinaldo's
breach with the Americans. but finally
cast his fortunes with the insurrection
and was president of the council. He
was also the financial strength of the
movement, as without his backing
Aguinaldo would have had no credit.
Next in Importance to the capture Of
Mabini in the departments of the cam
paign was the bold stroke of Captain
McCalla of the Newark in capturing
the whole province of Cagayan. With
General Macarthur holding the prov
ince of Isabella adjoining and

posite or western shore of the upper

sending steam launches carrying sup.

ture OF LaloNE.
Washington, Dec 13.--The navy ac-
count of the operations of the ships in

AN INSURANCE FRAUD.
Supposed Dead Man Found Alive and

Supposed Dead Man Found Alive and
Well.
Milwaukee,, Wis, Dec. 13.--Robert
OGrady, supposed to be dead and bur-
led in a Chicago cemetery, and on
whom insurance was paid by an insur-
ance company, is alive and at present
an inmate of the national soldiers home
in this city.
The circumstances of the remarkable
case have come to light through the
prosecution for fraud of six Chicago
persons including Margaret Sheehan, a
niece of the veteran, by the general
counsel of the knights and Ladies of
Security.
In December last a man, said to be
Robert O'Grady. died at S37 West Mon
roe street, Chicago. His death was re-
corded and the body buried in Forest
Home cemetery.
a Robert O'Grady was insured in the
Illinois council, No. 420, of the Knights
and Ladies of Security, and when the
man at S37 West Monroe street died.
insurance on his life was collected by
the officers of the Illinois council. Rob-
ert O'Grady. located here, says he did
not know his life was insured. He
claims he never lived at S37 West Mon
roe street, Chicago. where the supposed
Robert O'Grady died.
