The Journal has received from the Asso-
ciated Press an advance copy of the pro-
gramme OF the National Congress of
Mothers which is to meet in Washington
next month. but the document is accom-
panied by the strict injunction not to pub
lish before Jan. "a. 1t is with difficulty
that the Journal Restraints itself from Civ
ing this important information to an i'm
patient public at this time. but it violates
no confidence in saying that as most of the
mothers set down upon the programme
are men the meeting promises to be one Of
especial edilcat.on.

The German language is continually en-
riched by words which spring up spon-
taneously to represent new ideas and which
grow by degrees, putting out new branches
as a lobster does new claws when one is
broken of. The latest new word which has
made its appearance in the Berlin press is
MISUNDERSTANDING" 1t is used to desig-
nate the wounded or uneasy feeling Of the
people under the arbitrary acts of the gov
eminent. One source Of uneasiness is said
to be "majestats beleidigung." This is the
German version Of '1ese majestic" and fills
the mouth much more completely than the
French phrase does. When it comes to
word-building the Germans are not so slow.

the Charge Of Larceny.


Charles Roy, who claims TO be a
Partisan and a chemist. was indicted
for breaking and entering store in
near everything I'm IL but the fixtures.
Roy. IL is very apparent, is a strange
character and is well known In Gloces-
ter and Burrillville. according TO Dep
uty Sheriff Inman. Gen. Brennan was
assigned by Judge Wilbur 10 defend
Roy when the latter's case came up
for trial yesterday. Roy claimed he
could not talk English and Deputy
Sheriff Blanchard was called in TO neip
counsel. AS Roy had served a three
years sentence in the state of Connec-
ticut, Attorney General Tanner was
not Of the opinion that Roy should be
too harshly dealt with. The three
years sentence in the state TO the wesb
was for receiving the same goods.
knowing them to be stolen, that he ~
now accused Of stealing. Mr.. Tanner
told Gen. Brennan that IL his client
would leave the state at once no one
would follow the client Counsel tried
to explain this TO Roy and so did tho
deputy sheriff. but failed TO make him
understand.
He was brought to the bar and ad-
vised by counsel and Deputy Sheriff
Blanchard TO plead nolo contendere.
but he would not say the words. 1t was
apparent by his remarks that he
the state boundaries and that he had
some doubts about the right OF the
Judge to sentence him.
Judge Wilbur ordered that the {rial
of the man proceed. Attorney General
Tanner said in opening the case that
Il would be shown that the defendants $
wagon was traced from the store 10 a
place in the Connecticut woods, where
he was caught unloading the goods.
Mr.. Hawkins, the owner OF the store
that the prisoner was accused or
breaking into. testified that entrance
to the store was effected on the morn
ing Of Nov. &c. 1895, by taking out
light Of glass and that a large amount
OF stuff, including canned beef, wom-
ems shoes, stockir~- suspenders. to-
bacco, snuff etc. were taken. Witness
and his son got to the store about
a. m. and as IL had been raining the
night before. after they had discovered
the store had been Doted. went to the
roadside and saw the tracks OF a wag-
on, which they followed till they came
to the home OF the defendant in Con-
necticut. They found some OF the goods
in the house and some in the wagon.
A man was with Roy at the time.
Roy testified that he bought the
goods OF a Frenchman. whose present
Whereabouts he did not know. That
the absent pan told him the goods were
bought at big salo i'm Providence.
Witness called the attention OF the
court TO the fact that he was punished
in the neighboring state for receiving
the same goods.
The jury found the prisoner guilty.
He was told that If he had insisted on II
ne could not be sentenced for seven
days. Counsel argued with him that
any delay would be OF no service to
him. Roy was bound 10 have all his
rights and would not think Of waving
any OF them, so he was not sentenced
today. He is said TO be a man of good
education and to understand English
thoroughly. Today ne limped badly and
complained OF a severe backache.
