How TO write a love letter was the les

Judge slover's court yesterday. From 10
o'clock in the morning until o'clock in
the afternoon they listened to the letters
written by Miss Martha Smith to DR.. H.
s. Lowry, the parties to the $4,000 breach
of promise suit that has been on trial for
several days. All over the court room.
whenever there was a pause in the reading,
both men and women could be heard max
ing complimentary remarks about the let
ters. Everybody thought them cieverly
written and commented on their sprightli-
ness and natural simplicity Of style.
A lawyer who occupied a front seat in
the section reserved for members of the
bar remarked that when q boy at college
he had read the classic letters of Pliny
and later In life had studied the faultless
epistolary styles of De Quincy and Mad

those models with little more interest than
that with which he had listened to the

WASHINGTON, Feb. 17.-There was q

mated with several Republican senators,

by them as the first advance on the part
of the Democrats toward an understanding,
and many felt that they would go further
in that direction in case the Republicans

GRAND RAPIDS. MICH, Feb. 17.-Colo-

auspices of the Kent County Democratic
Club. In denouncing the proposition to in

CURED under Republican rule. because we
are told that the people are peaceable.

Miss Martha Smith. the plaintiff, Is well

until she came to Kansas City. Her father.
Thomas Smith. is blacksmith Of that
place, and is an enthusiastic member Of the
First Methodist church Of that city. He is
well known as fervent and constant ex-
horter at prayer meetings and religious
gatherings. Miss Smith and her sister,
Fannie, are remembered as very bright
young girls. who struggled hard to get an
education. which was acquired under great
difficulties. Martha. the plaintiff in this
suit. is remembered as being specially
bright and lovable. Both were constant
attendants at church services. and invaria-
bly, accompanied their father. Their home
life Is said to have been unpleasant, and
this is given as one Of the reasons why Miss
Smith left home to make her own way in

PARDON FOR A cHocTAW.
President Mckinley Releases an In.
dian Who Committed Murder ut
12 Years of Age.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-THE president
has granted a pardon to John B. Jacobs, a
Choctaw Indian convicted Of killing James
Moriallio in the Choctaw nation in 1893.
for which he is now serving a life sentence
in the penitentiary. 1t appears that Jacobs
was only IL years old when the crime vas
committed and he has now served twenty
years. This. together with the fact that
the killing took place under circumstances
peculiarly aggravating, prompted the pres
ident to restore him to liberty.
The president has also pardoned Ignacio
Gallego, now serving term in Arizona for
smuggling. Gallego recently disclosed a
blot to XIII the jaifer and release all Of the
prisoners.
