at the Maggie Sisters restaurant, cor
roborated the testimony of the proceed
ing witness.
Daniel Jaeger was next called. He
said he was present IS or 20 times dur
ing the month of July, 1898. when the
meat was weighed. The weights at
those times were made correctly. There
was always a discrepancy between the
actual weight and that of the butcher
as indicated by the amount charged up.
These differences amounted in money
to from 10 cents to s125.
Miss Millie Maggie took the stand
again and testified to going to see
Kreig. Aug. 3, 1898, after she had
weighed the meat for a month, and
accused him of giving short weight
and overcharging. He denied it, and
when told the meat had been weighed,
he commenced making excuses. she
asked him to explain with reference
to particular roast of beef Weighing
IA pounds for which $40 was charged.
He replied he had charged her II cents
a pound. Her reioinder was that he had
no right to charge her more than 10
cents pound but if he had charged
her II cents he would have a hard
time to make the roast come to $1.10.
He said he had put up the roast him
self but the next day he came around
and said a green boy had put up the
roast. and had charged 121a cents a
pound.
The state rested its case, and after
consulting his client, Judge Wines
stated the defense would put in no tes-
timony, that he apprehended the court
would find the defendant guilty, and
he would ask that a continuance till
to-day be granted. Mr.. Connolly OPP
posed a continuance, and Mr.. Wines
stated that he intended to take an APP
peal, and he asked for the continuance
for the reason that it might be difficult
to secLre bondsmen so late in the even
ing and the defendant might be re-
quired to go to Jail for the night,
which could be avoided by a continu-
ance. Judge Harrington allowed the
case to go over till 10 o'clock to-day, in
timating that Judge Wines was correct
in his deductions as to the ultimate
action of the court.

FOUND HER KIDNAPPED BOY.
Ohio Mother Rewarded After Search of
Twenty Five Years.

F. C. Getcheu a prosperous insur-
ance man of Cleveland, Ohio, has just
found his mother, from whom he was
kidnapped when a baby, % years ago
Only a short time ago he secured
trace of her, and by writing to Bir-
mingham, Ala, discovered that the
old lady was alive and well. She was
at once invited to Cleveland to live
with her son, and startd North on the
journey alone.
Getchell had no recollection of his
mother, and knew nothing of her per-
sonal appearance. When he went 10
the railroad station to meet her he had
no means Of Identifying her. When
the train rolled into the station and a
stream of people came pouring through
the gates he scanned every old lady's
face carefully.
At last bystanders who had been
watching the peculiar actions of the
young man, saw him spring forward
and earnestly whisper to an aged
woman. An expression of mingled JOY
and surprise passed over her face, and
she exclaimed, My son." Then the
two were locked in each others arms.
No explanations were asked; none were
necessary. She knew that she had
found her son, and he knew he was
with his mother. The instructive feel
ing which exists between mother and
son was there. The aged mother was
at once conducted to the home OF her
son, where she was welcomed by the
latter's wife and his two little chill
dren.
1T would be impossible for me,
said Getchell, ito describe the sensa-
tons which ! experienced when l met

A Painters Popularity.

A French artist Meissonier, as he is de-
scribed in the Contemporary Review by
the great Russian painter and war CORE
spondent, Vasili Vereschagin, was singu-
larly absent-mnded. His nature was so
affectionate and candid that this 4Ilue
shortening was overlooked by his close
friends, but 1t often offended those who
knew him less intimately.

Dumas. that I am hated by many?'

Il don't mean that. | mean those who
object to my character"
Yes, it is true. They think you proud
and naughty"
but | swear to you that it is not true.
The fact is that I'm always absorbed in
thinking about the gesture or grouping of
my figures, or of the tone of the picture
on which I am at work. This accounts
for my absent mindedness. By the by,
tell me, is Giraud dead?''
mo, he is not dead; he is alive
"Then I must have met him yesterday.
He accosted me and asked how l was.
Not recognizing him, I answered. Thank
you, ! am all right Only afterward did
l remember that it was a familiar face.
and now l am sure it was Charles Giraud,
To be sure, to be sure! Where does he
live?"
When Dumas told him the address Meis-
sonier snatched up his overcoat, his cap
and stick and dragged the author with
him to Girauds house. AS soon as he en-
tered he threw himself into the arms of
Giraud and with tears in his eyes, asked
hin, to forgive his GOODNESS of the pre-
vous day.
This anecdote had a personal interest
for me, says Verescha gin, as something
similar had happened to myself. One
day while waiting at the Care st. Lazare
for the train to my place at Maisons-Laf-
fife Alexandra Dumas asked me:
"I dare say you often meet Meissonier
here?"
Sometimes; but now I pass him by"
"How is that?"

THAT may be. But it is rather awk-
ward. 1t might be taken as importantly
| on my part"
what mani exclaimed Dumas. "He
| spends his time in not recognizing friends
| and in making enemies"
Dumas must have told Meissonier about
| this conversation. for shortly afterward
| in walking up and down the waiting room
| Vereschagin met the artist with tender
| face prepared for a greeting.
| IT am sorry to have to confess, how

A CASE OF ASSAULT.
Miller's Discarded Mistress Got Him Into
Trouble.

A warrant for the arrest of George
Miller, a bartender, for third degree as
sault, was issued from Justice Har-
rington's court yesterday. The action
is the outgrowth of a little occurrence
at the Lemp saloon in West Park
street a couple nights ago. Miller
tended bar at the saloon and Adolph
Meyer was employed there in the same
capacity. Miller had a mistress among
the demi-monde with whom he quar-
relied, and she got gloriously drunk and
went up to the saloon and "bawled
him out" She told Proprietor George
Kronenberg Miller had a private key
to the tape box of the cash register,
and could so work the registering APP
paratus that he could beat the ma
chine, which, she said, he had confided
to her he was doing Systematically.
kronenberg sent for a policeman and
had Miller searched, but no such key
was found. He was, nevertheless, dis
charged. 1t appeared he got the idea
Meyer had something to do with get
ting him discharged, and yesterday
when they met in Park street barber
shop, Miller proceeded to give Meyer
a mauling.

Madam Hippo's Way.

The following fragment from the do
mestic life of a respectable family of
hippopotami is furnished by A. D.
Bartlett. the author of wild Animals
in Captivity" and for many years su-
perintendent of the London Geological
gardens.
In the beginning the hippo's We're a
peaceful family of two, but in time
there was born third one. The baby
was christianed Guy Fawkes, although
it was female. When Guy was eight
months old, and after her devoted
mother had taught her to swim. it was
deemed time to allow her to enter her
fathers den.
Now Obaysch, the father had been a
bachelor resident of the gardens for %
years. His domestic habits We're but
imperfectly formed. He was even
what might be termed "a little set in
his ways and was not disposed to
regard the constant companionship of
his wife and little dapghter with ia
Vor.
On the morning of the introduction
Obaysch was quietly eating his break
fast of fresh grass, when the sliding
door of the females den was quietly
raised, and the mother and the young
one peered out with a most comical ex
preston.
on seeing the female, Obaysch left
off eating and trumpeted. Guy Fawkes
cautiously went up TO her rather, ana
their noses all but touched, when the
mother, fearing danger to the baby,
rushed forward and challenged her
husband
Obaysch retreated a little distance,
while she pretended to be feeding, at
the same time keeping her eyes stead
Easily fixed on him. At last she made
a rush at him. They raised themselves
on their hind legs, and clashing their
teeth together, bit and struck at each
other in a savage manner, Guy Fawkas
keeping at a respectful distance be-
hind. or at the side of, her mother.
When ObaysCh and his wife got On
! their forofeet again. the female. by a
! dcXtorous lunge with her head, pushed
! Obaysch into the pond and aftet driv-
| ing him into a corner, kept guard over
| him and held him a safe prisoner,
| While this state of affairs continued
! Guy Fawkes was safely perChed on her
/ mothers back, looking impudently at
! her diSEraCed father.
Several other engagements occurred
! before OhaysCh's preference for soil
! tude was conquered, but in the end he
| gave in, the mother cooled down, and
| in a short time he had no opinion of his
| own, after which they became a very
happy family.
