hdge Peasley Was Pretty Busy for a F Time This Morning.
 Judge Peasley presided at city court his morning. Nicholas Pagan of 100 Eigh street, charged with intoxieation, Fas let off with a reprimand.
 A small boy named Frank Pitch, Those mother said he was 13 years old is father persisted he was H, was harged with breach of the peace. The complainant was the boys mother, and rom her testimony it appeared that he ia not living with her husband and hat the boy has been but few months out of the reform school One hild, a girl, resides with the mother, md three boys with the father. The rouble that resulted in the boys ar est began over possession of bicy- 1e, which the boy claimed was his and which he said his mother would not i've up. Sentence was suspended.
 X case against Nelson Flanagan. son If the foreman of the moulding depart nent at Matthews & Willard's, for ! preach of the peace, was continued to D-m0rrow morning It is claimed against Flanagan that he insulted one If the men who is on strike at the moulding department.
 The case that occupied the greater part of the morning was against James Pierpont for non-support of his wife. The defendant was defended 3y Att6rney Marsh. The difficulty ap- Deared to be a case of mother-in-law sn the young mans side. He persist ed in living with his mother, whom ais wife could not abide Now the law .ompels a married man to support his wife. while his mother has only moral claims upon him after he leaves the parental roof. The Pierponts were married last September. and since then The husband has left his wife twice. Mrs Pierpont is now delicate and un- able to provide for herself, while her husbands mother is an epilepflc, so that the young husband is between two raging fires. It was evident, though. that the accused did not sup port his wife. In summing up the sit- uation Attorney Marsh threw some or the blame on SfmOnsville, where the PfeFponts live, and on the green also ssPferpont.v said Mir Marsh, Hives in simonsville. and of course he can't be blamed for that. This young woman, :" naming the wife, sslfkes to live where she can look out on our beautiful and enfrancing green, and my client can not afford to do that on his wages Pferpont works at the ScoyiH Manufac- turing Co.'S. He was found guilty or the charge alleged and was sentenced to thirty days in jail, or take the al- formative of giving a bond of $100 to pay his wife s a week for sixty days.

His head was swathed in bandages in such manner that showed that his principal injuries were about the right eye and over the right temple. He ap- peared to have been badly beaten.

MOUNTED PICTURES.
Bronson Library Will Have Illustrated Material for Teachers and Others.


 A new idea at the Bronson library is the collecting and mounting of pie lures to be lent as illustrative material to teachers, or as studies for deco rative work to art amateurs. From odd numbers of magazines, such as the Century, Scribner's and Harper's, are taken portraits of celebrated peo- pie, and illustrations of historical events, and of scenery in different parts of the world. Gifts of maga- zines for this purpose will be appre- ciated. Some beautiful flower plates, the gift of Miss Constance G. Dubois, form the basis of loan collection of pictures in colors. These are already at the service of the public, and may be seen in the hbrarian's office on Sat urday. The library has also secured some 400 colored plates from the pup fishers of Birds and All Nature, which will be mounted during the summer for the use of the public.
 New novels to be seen on Saturday morning are ..The Crisis" by Church ill; "Understudies." by Mary Wilkins; sPenelope's Irish Experiences; ..When Blades Are Out" by the pro life Archbishop Brady, and new copy of the Helmet of Navarro" by Bertha Runkle '.Sir Christopher" by Maud Goodwin, was added last week, also .aThe Sailors Log" by Captain Evans, a book which promises to be as popular as any of the new novels. The librarian wishes to call atten- ton to a set of twentyfour little books devoted to the study of the great artists. Each volume contains biographical sketch of one of the great painters and includes descrip- tions and illustrations of his most famous pictures There is a short list of references to other books on the subject, and an outline of topics to be taken up by the teachers. The books are pretty and will be interesting to the young readers for whom they are especially intended, and it is hoped that they win help to satisfy some what pressing demand due to the stim- ulus of the art reproductions lent to the public schools by the Woman's club.
 The library hand book, containing l information in regard to hours, new rules. vacation privileges, etc, is in considerable demand. Those who wish for a copy are advised to secure one soon, as the edition is likely to be ex- hausted in q week or two.
 The library bulletin for May is ready for distribution. It contains the first section of q list of books of travel added to the library since 1889.

EATEN BY CANNIBALs.
Twelve of the Party Killed, Their Bodies Deyoured and Camp Looted.

Berlin, June 7.-The @Tageblatt'' prints special correspondence from New Guinea containing a full account of the massacre of the members of the first German South sea expedition on the cannibal island of St Matthias. They were all killed and eaten, save pr Heinroth.
 The Colonel Zeitung,'' the official organ of the German Colonial society. furnishes details of the massacre. If seems that the vessel which carried the expedition to the island of St Matthias left, after few days, for Herbertshoh, New Britain, to get coal and fresh supplies. During its absence the sayages, who had hitherto appear ed friendly, although known to be rab- i'd cannibals, planned to kill and rob the diminished party.
 The plot was carried out one morn. ing while the members of the expedi- tion, who had q bodyguard of forty drilled Paquans, were cleaning theil rifles, which they had taken apart Suddenly eighty of the islanders broke from the bushes, raising fierce war cries and brandishing spears, with which they stabbed to death the leader of the party. Dr Mecken, his secretary Herr Caro-, and a white sailor who was asleep under tent.
 pr Heinroth emptied his revolver in. to his assailants, while the bodyguard in the meantime retired to the boats with the wounded and Dr Heinroth 1 leaving the twelve dead. The boats put | l.er 4< tfe.To T; the expeditionary vessel rescued them Subsequently the survivors returned te the island of St Matthias, where they found that bodies had been deyoured l and the camp absolutely footed.

MRs EppY AND LoRps PRAYER.


 To the Editor of the Democrat:
 A recent issue of your paper contain ed an extract from "Eyerybody's Mag azine'' in which T. Joy Hudson insin- uates that .sthe founder of Christian Science has laid the foundation for the worship of herself by reeonstructing the Lords Prayer. Thus the opening cInuse, Our Father which art in Heav- enT is transformed into ,"Our Father and Mother God. all harmonious. or course no one can say positively that the unfortunate lady revised the Lords Prayer with any intention of in cluding herself in the Godhead but it can be readily believed to be true.'" e What she believes. however, is of small importance compared with the deplorable fact that she is worshipped as the .'Mother God" equally with the father. by the more advanced in moral uegeneraey of the Christian Science church"
 Permit me to say that the above insfnuation is absolutely false. Every Christian Scientist understands the clause. Our Father and Mother God'' to refer to God and to God only and in no sense whatever to Mrs Eddy. The clause Is a commentary not revision of the Lords Prayer. If God is the only Cause and Creator why could he not be justly referred to as both the Father and Mother God" We love Mrs Eddy and feel very grateful to her but we do not worship her.
 Yours truly,
