That New York Justice, who fined a
the penalty permitted by the law to be
sufficient, descended from the bench,
took off his coat and thrashed the de-
PENDANT soundly, is to be commended.
A few more of his stripe would serve
to put an effectual check upon the in
diligence wife beaters seem to enjoy.
The "Oregonian'' we'll comments upon
the case in these words:
There is no doubt but that the ad-
Judges hands, and though it is not
provided in the rules of the court that
a Judge may jump over the railing of
dignity that surrounds the bench, and
give a wife beaten a thrashing, we are
of the opinion that there is no court of
justice in the United States, with the
possible exception of Judge Peabody S
court in ST. Louis, that would convict
Judge Adams of IAN assault with in
tent to do great bodily injury and
even if Judge Peabody had Jurisdiction
in the case and convicted the Bath JUS
tice we are of the opinion that there
would be a reversal of the decision
There ought to be a general under
standing of some sort that any man
has the privilege of thrashing wife
beaten whenever and wherever he
chooses, no matter whether it is in
the courtroom or in the wife beater's

Ut IS UNHEARD OF"
An Austrian's Comment on the De.
struction of Cervera's Fleet.

Captain Taylor gives an amusing ac-
count in the Century of his interview
with an Austrian Lieutenant, who
boarded the Indiana Immediately after
the fight at Santiago:
He was in full uniform, with bril-
liant display of epaulets and gold lace,
white waistcoat and trousers. He
found us covered with the smoke and
dust of battle, groups of half-naked men
lining up to salute him as he passed,
their faces streaked with powder-smoke
and coal-dust. He reached me on the
bridge, finally. in a state of polite be-
wilderment, and presented his Captains
request for permission to pass in
through our blockading lines and bring
out from Santiago Austrian refugees
desiring to leave that besieged town.
After referring him to Admiral Samp-
son, and telling him he would be found
some distance to the westward, he
asked for news, and 1 told him we had
squadron. He showed great surprise,
and said:
Then there has been a battle?"
yes" 1 replied.
"And the result?" he asked eagerly.

but I see nothing there but some
smoke, Captain."
1T is the smoke of the Teresa burn
ing, Lieutenant; she is wreck upon
the beach,
He was SILENT and I continued:
CLOSE to her on the beach you will
see another column of smoke; that is
the Oquendo burning. On this side.
nearer to us, is the Pluton, sunk in
the breakers; and the Furor is near
her, but is on the bottom in deeper
water and is not visible
But he interrupted, you have then
destroyed half those splendid vessels of

lock a few miles farther tor the west
ward, and you win see another column
of smoke; that is the Vizcaya, on the
beach near Aserraderos. AS to the
Colon, she is still farther to the west
ward, out of sight from us here. but
you will see her presently as your Cap
tain steers in that direction to find Adj
miral Sampson, who is at that end of
our line.''
His eyes ranged along the shore as I
pointed out the different vessels.

After a moment more of silent aston
ishment, he said, with a polite sympa-
thy which concealed eager professional
curiosity:
And your injuries, Captain?' What
losses has the American squadron sus-
tained?"
None" I replied.
But, Captain, you do not understand ::
it is what casualties-what ships lost
or disabled-that 1 ask"
None, Lieutenant" I said. 1.-THE
Indiana was struck twice, suffered no
injury, no loss. The other ships are
virtually in the same condition. We
are all of us perfectly ready for another
battle-as much SO as before Cervera
came out this morning.

injury to his own squadron! Sir, it is

A FIRST ATTEMPT.

Sacramento yesterday did supreme
honor to Dewey day. No city in the
State gave it better observance or more
patriotic salutation 1t was the first
attempt Of the people of Sacramento
to hold a floral parade. They have had
successful floral festivals indoors, but
not before a floral procession. Sacra-
nlento held the greatest indoor floral
festival in 1885 ever known, to that
date. 1t surpassed in beauty and
grandeur anything before undertaken
anywhere; but she never attempted a
floral parade until yesterday, and it
was successful beyond expectation, be-
cause the day before it rained nearly
all day. The air was chill and damp,
and until late at night further rain was
Threatened. Of course hundreds who
had contemplated decorations and
for the procession gave over the pleas
ing task. The result was that about all
that was seen was the work of very
few hours before the moving of the
line.
From all which, coupled with the fact
that a strong northerly gale blew yes
ferday and the day was so cold as TO
make overcoats desirable, we conclude
that if Sacramento tries again she can
do as well. if not eclipse the southern
towns and cities which have claimed
floral parades as peculiarly their own.
and possible with eminent success only
within their favored sections. But the
fact is that we have greater floral
wealth than any other city in the State
of equal size We have a climate lend
ing itself ordinarily to floral festivals
as few others do. Our people have
proved to have fine taste in floral deco
ration and they are possessed by the
spirit necessary to warrant such I'M
dertaking.
This city will never wish to indulge
in carnival fetes, such as Los Angeles.
with her fiesta, has now abandoned as
improbable. Public sentiment here is
go wisely conservative on that head as
to render efforts in that direction abor-
tive. But we can and should have an
annual floral fete, one not costly nor
demanding large expenditure of pub
licly collected money, but one repre-
sentative of personal energy of all
the people, Of the luxuriance of our
floral capacity and the overlooking
bounty of our gardens and fields, and
expressive of the love of our people for
the beautiful and their conviction of
the truth, that occasional indulgence in
such affairs are, so far from being
trivial, that they are really helpful re-
filming, beneficent and worthy the COM
mendation of all people.
Communities which occasionally step
up and out of the commercial rut and
the everyday drive and drudge of bust
ness and labor, into the atmosphere of
art and the cultivation of admiration,
if not of love, for the beautiful, are the
better for such performance. They i'm
prove the community taste; they refine
the community thought; they elevate
the community pride; they instruct and
purify the individual taste in the larger
number Of persons and inspire youth
with love for those things which speak
to US Of purity. chastity and of worship
at the altar where there is no idolatry
the shrine Of nature.

Curiosities In the Museum Of q Clock
Making Village.
In the town Of Schramberg In the
Black Forest district Of Wurttemberg,
Germany, where one of the chief in
dustries is clock making, there has
recently been established an interest
ing museum of timepieces. The col
lection displays the gradual develop
ment in the making Of clocks for many
centuries.
Among the curiosites are many Of
great historical value. There is an
alarm clock constructed in the year
1850 for the use of travellers. In form
1t resembles a lantern and the interior
is designed to hold a lighted candle.
The candle is slowly pushed forward
by a spring, which also controls the
mechanism of the clock. A little pair
Of shears clip the wick Of the candle
automatically every minute to regulate
its light. The lantern is inclosed with
movable slides, so that the sleeper is
not at first disturbed by the presence
of light.
The alarm is set by inserting q peg
in the second dial plate. When the
required hour arrives, the alarm Is
sounded and at the same time the
movable slides fall, flooding the room
with light.
Among the curiosities is n Japanese
saw clock. The clock itself produces
the motive power by descending q
saw formed strip of metal, the teeth Of
which operate the wheel Of the clock
work. In another Japanese clock the
hand is attached to n weight, which
sinks once in "a hours. The time is in
dicated by hand on the perpendicular
scale.-Chicago Times Herald.

George Dyker had his engine and

and his partner had been threshing
for Fred Dreher in northwest Cameron
and had threshed all but two stacks
of oats and left the engine over Sun
day and about l o'clock Sunday the
wind changed to the north and
covered the separator and engine
with straw and it is supposed there
was enough fire to start blaze from
the engine. The engine, separator and
two stacks of oats and all of Mr.
Dreher's straw was burned. 1t is 9
heavy loss to all concerned as the
threshing outfit was new one and
several large straw stacks is quite al

stock as Mr.. Dreher. They have the
