offenses committed in connection with
the riot.
Harvey Earl, jr., was the first called
before the Court. He was found gull
ty of having dynamite in his posses
sion. His attorney, G. p. Humphrey,
in a motion for new trial called at
tention to the statute under which he
was convicted. He characterized 1t as
extremely vicious. The Objectionable
feature is in that the Court has no
power to sentence a man for less than
five years. He held that boy who
had a dynamite cracker in his posses
sion, If he attempted to explode it in
violation of an ordinance, could be
sentenced to the penitentary for life.
In passing sentence the Court said
that he regretted the fact that he
could not give more lenient sentence.
Judge Kobler said that he did not be-

DEFEATS HIS ENEMIES.
Judge MacIey, an Aged Lover, Final
ly Gets His Girl Bride Out of
an Asylum.

Judge Thomas y. Mackey, the de-
fender of Wade Hampton before Pres
ident Hayes cabinet in the celebrated
case involving the governship of
North Carolina, has secured the re-
lease of his girl wife from the gov
ernment insane asylum at St. Eliza
beth's, Washington, after long and
bitter struggle.
Judge Mackey, who is one of the
noted jurists of the east, was grant
ed an order by the supreme court of
the district of Columbia the other
afternoon whereby Mrs. Mackey could
be turned over to him by the asylum
authorities. Mrs. Mackey was COM
mitted to the asylum last May
through what her husband claimed
was conspiracy by relatives.
The married life of Judge and Mrs.
Maclley has been short but turbulent.
The judge has very nearly reached
three score and ten. while the wom-
an he married a few years ago is
now barely out of her teens She was
Miss Katherine Porterfeld. daughter
Of Col. Porterfield. prominent resi-
dent of Charlestown, w. Va. Though
it was love match from the begin
ming the girls relatives opposed it
bitterly. They claimed at first that
the judge treated Mrs. Mackey cruel
~. Then they had him arrested for
bigamy, but Judge Mackey gained a
victory over his prosecutors in this
instance. Finally the young woman
was salo to be insane, and an exam
inatlon was ordered, Despite the pro-
tests OF her husband Mrs, Mackey was
carried away to the asylum.
The honeymoon, so rudely inter-
rupted, is now to be resumed. The
judge said that no power on earth
could now separate him from the
,, woman he loves.

theater burned. We were all praying
that no fire would occur that night,
for it was blustery and cold-a sort OF
damp cold that penetrates even to the
bones. But just after midnight we were
called out, and we worked all night to
save adjoining property. The theater
was doomed when we got there. But
it was on Pennsylvania, in the heart
of the city, near two prominent hotels,
and surrounded by business houses
We saved all of that property. But it
was night of exhaustion and terror
TO all of us on account of the weather.
''Well, I'm glad it is all over. But,
to tell the truth, 1 really enjoyed the
work, the excitement of it and the feel
ing that we were heroically endeavor-
ing to save life and property for our
fellow men. There is a great deal of
pride in the breast of a true fireman.
He feels that he is a public benefactor
all the time; and let me tell you that

which would give him ii nero's crown

Vermont; Sumner, of Massachusetts;

Brooks was the man who assaulted
Sumner with a cane. All four of the
men whom I have named were physical
giants. Sumner was the handsomest
of them all. He was a natural athlete.
If he had taken a different course in

of the time, and, if it had caught fire,
that whole section of the city would
have been in danger. The Baltimore
boys protected that stable and sd-
joining buildings, and kept them sat-
urated with water. The flying Gin
ders fell on roofs which were wet
enough all the time to put them out
The ire was finally stopped at the
corner of Seventh and G street,
checked, headed off and driven back
But it was the most terrific work that
L ever experienced. The model-room
of the patent Office was practically
eaten out by fire before we could get
there with our nozzles. 1t was a tre-
mendous loss to the government. We
could do nothing to save the model
room, and it was all that we could do
to save the building which is the
home of the interior department.
"The other government department
buildings have been free from fires,
excepting the old navy department
building on Seventeenth street. That
fire occurred so long ago that have
forgotten the date. Besides, it didn't
amount to much, for we put it out in
very short time.
"Did you ever hear of the burning of
the Smithsonian institution? That oc-
CURED about dinner time in February,
1866, or 1867. Talk about cold weather!
That was a hummeri We worked in
snow foot deep and with blizzard of
n Na
icicles on the fire. The water seemed
to almost freeze as it left the nozzles.
We had an awful time with the hose,
too, for it was almost frozen. And if
the water hadn't been running through
it very fast it would have frozen in
the hose. We saved the walls, but that
was all. 1t was impossible to save any
thing else. The wind helped the flames
and completely baffled all of our efforts.
If it hadn't been for the bitter cold and
the terrible wind we might have done
better. We certainly worked hard
enough.
''There were three other notable fires
in which cold weather prevailed against
us and our work. Wallis opera house
burned down. 1t was on the corner
of Ninth and Louisiana avenue, close
to Pennsylvania avenue. The site has
since been occupied by Ford's theater,
and is now the common vaudeville play
house. That was an awful night OF
| hard work in winter weather.
''Then there was the burning of Lin
coins hall, the home of the Y. NJ. c. A.
That fire occurred in midwinter and
kept us hard at work all night, but it
went up in smoke. Some of the fremen
succumbed to the cold and were obliged
to give up. There were many frozen
fingers and toes and ears, and some OF
the men never recovered from the eff.
fects of the work of that night.

THE MAN WITH A SOUL.

Behold him stand with heavens light re-
fected in his face,
And on his thoughtful brow the stamp OF
manhood's highest grace.
Though toll his lot, and bent his back with
heavy burdens prest,
The hope that speaks of higher things Is
throbbing in his breast.
Within his soul there lives a spark dropped
from eternal day,
Whose fervid light turns dross to gold,
refines the common clay.
He hears the call God gave to have COM
mand Ger land and sea,
And thrills to know that life unfolds into
eternity.
To fight, to rise, to meet defeat, to win
the glorious strife,
Ennobles every form of toll, gives dignity
to life.
The king that sits upon the throne may
pomp and power know,
And lack the royal, manly worth of him
who wields the hoe.
The OK that plods and beats his hoofs into
the yielding clay,
And eats and drinks, content, the same re-
peating day by day,
Knows not the yearnings of the soul of him
who does his part,
Ox-like perchance, but hidden bears God S
image IN MS nedTt.
The masters and the lords that lead and
rule the world to-day
Were stolid stunned, with shape pro-
faned' a century away.
The call that spake within the soul was
Gods unlocking key
That stirred to life the fiickering flame of
Immortality.
1t is the man within the man, like jewel
in the frame,
The shell responds to hoe and spade, the
soul to fire and flame.
Uprising ever, leaping on, like flames leap
to the sun,
The soul of man cries out to God, and
longs to hear: "Well DONE"
The moving centuries have shown man is
not born a clod,
And nations sweeping into line look up
to find their God.
And He who breathed the living breath
into the lifeless clay,
And made man tiller of the soil, saw well
the coming day
A dream unfold that was no dream, a
prophecy come true,
A glorious fulfillment when all things shall
be new,
When man, renewed, uplifted. shall see
God face to face,
And the ages bring their harvest home, a
world redeemed by grace.
Jennie l.. Lyall, in Christian Work.
