pie. A Pennsylvania genius of Con-
nelsville, realizing this fact, has devils
ed a very effective pie cutter. AS
shown in the illustration, it consists of
a fiat triangular blade for insertion Un-
der the lower crust and a sharp knife
blade, supported in a vertical position,
with relation to the base piece. This
knife blade is manipulated by means OF
a scissor-like arrangement, and, as
both the bottom and the end have cut
ting edges, it is quite a pleasure to cut
through a hard cake or delicate pie
crust with this device.

Ian Maoiaren Tells Why There Is No
Difference Between the Two.
The pew is a testimony to the fam
lily and ought to be maintained with its
doors removed, and it does not matter
whether a man pay $50 a year for his
pew or so cents" writes Ian Maclaren
OF The Pew and the Man in 1t" in the
Ladies' Home Journal. The church
authorities should see that the house
holder has his pew, with room enough
in 1t for himself, his wife and the chill
dren which God has given them. There
is no reason in the world why the rich
man should not pay a handsome sum
for his church home. And some Of us
have never been able to understand
why an artisan should not give ONE
thing for his church home also. Surely
every man wishes to do what is right
in the direction of his church. Every
self-respecting man likes to pay for his
home whether it be large or small, and
1t touches a mans honor to live in a
workhouse, where he pays no rent and
depends on the public. There Is no
necessity that this home feeling and
this just independence should be de-
MED in the house of God, but it rather
seems a good thing that the man who
works and gives to provide a house
where he and the children can live to-
gether in comfort and self-respect six
days of the week should do his part to
sustain the house where they worship
God on the seventh day. He is a poor
creature who will allow a rich man to
pay his rem for him on weekdays, and
l have never been able to see where
there is any difference between being a
beggar on Sunday and a beggar on
Monday"

EXPERT TESTIMONY FAILS TO CONVICT

MAGISTRATE DISCHARGES YOUNG MAN HELD ON
COMPARISON OF HANDWRITING.
Magistrate Deuel.. in the Essex Market Court,
yesterday honorably discharged David Wolf' OF NO
AL East One-hundred- ed-and-seventeenth-st., from
custody. Several weeks ago Wolf was arrested on
a charge of forgery. The complainant against him
was Isaac Kraushaur, who in May last signed
several checks, one Of which was payable to Solo
mon Littenberg Littenberg alleged that he never
received the check, although 1t had been cashed
by downtown bank and bore both Littenberg's
and Kraushaur's signatures. Both men said their
signatures had been forged.
William s. Kingsley the handwriting expert,
was consulted, and after comparing the signatures
with Volts handwriting he declared that in his
opinion Wolf had committed the forgeries. Wolf
denied the charge. He was represented in court
by Abraham Levy, who made long argument,
contendng that conviction could be had on eX-
pert testimony alone. Magistrate Deuel. held that
the only evidence against Wolf was opinion of
a handwriting expert, and that such evidence could
stand in law in besmirching the reputation OF
a young of good character.
