IN DOUBT WHAT TO DECIDE.
Mayor Myers Has Not Acted Finally
In Brown-PasI<ie Case Yet.

Mayor Myers has not yet been able to
decide whether ]. Brown alias Sam Paskie
Is liable to the charge of bigamy, because
he married or is said to have married in
this country, while having a wife whom
he had married in Germany.
The hearing of the case yesterday morn
Ing brought out no new particulars. Mrs.
Paske, who claims to be Brown or Pas
kes first and only legal wife, testified
that she was married to the prisoner in
Germany that he lived with her in the
Old country, and in this country for a
number of years, deserving her several
years ago, and leaving her TO take care
Of their several children. Her 15-year-old
son, who accompanied his mother from
New York in the search for the truant
husband and father, cOrroborated his
mothers testimony.
,Paskie did not deny that he had lived
with the woman and that her children We're
probably his children also, but Gained
that he had never been married to her
His attorney Mr.. f. M. Oliver, set up
the unexpected defense that a marriage
in Germany could not be recognized in this
country. He also pointed out that the
woman presented no certificate of her
marriage. Mr.. Oliver claimed that the
arrest was merely an attempt to extract
money from his client as was evidenced
by the proposition made by. the mother
and son 10 the prisoner to withdraw the
charges for a consideration of $500.
Mayor Myers was not disposed to en-
courage any such sordid scheme as this,
out he thought it well to obtain a little
more light on the .aw, bearing on the sub
ect before making his decision. The in
dcalions are that Brown alias PaslIie will
ogtaln his release. AS the alleged second
marriage took place in Detroit, the crime,
any was committed there. It is re-
sarded as doubtful If the Michigan author

Druu Horses in British Army.

From the Womans Home Companion.
In Inc army Of Great Britain the bands
NJ cavalry are mounted and the honorary
nosiiion in these musical cavalcades is
mat of the bearer OF the kettledrums. The
horse selected for this high position is
often piebaId, but this particular coloring
is not essential to the office; the animal
NAV be pure white. Al any rate, his APP
naarance must be consistent with the
show piece he il in the band. His edu-
cation is severe and persistent, bringing
rim at last up 10 that point where his
nride and intelligence make him a digni-
fed and graceful bearer Of the handsome
trappjngs that surround his high calling
his nerves are severly tried by the boom
inc of the enormous drums he is destined
Ia hear. but in time he becomes as in
dI0erent to the noise as do his brothers
10 the singing bullets. In the parade his
rider has his hands full In the use of the
sticks. He controls the steed by means
of the reins, which are fastened to the
stirrup strap near the foot.
The fame of the drum horse Is often
won on the field Of battle. His duty classes
him with the war horse and IN similar
lines lies his path to glory and renown.
The horse that wins laurels in the bat

dignity in the parades Of peace VIII some
times find himself in the line Of promotion
to the proud position Of drum horse In
the regimental band.
