GONE TO JERICHO"

Notes and Queries: The phrase Gone
to Jericho" bears the meaning rather of
consignment to periodical or penal exile
than of deportation to a pleasure house,
such as the Jericho of Henry VIII was,
albeit the phrase may have bee nsuggest-
ed to that monarch's courters by the or
iginal ailusion to Jericho in II. Samuel X.
5: And the King said, larry at Jericho.
until your boards be grown. and then re-
turnn,' when it became proverbial say
ing ito stay Cor tary) in Jericho (until
ones beard is grow):" that is, to wait
in retirement or obscurity until one
grows wiser.
Halliwell does not cite an instance of
the phrase, but says Jericho, prison.
Hence the phrase to wish a person in
Jericho.'

Issuance Of writ of habeas corpus to pro-
duce Joseph a. Greenfield. ten years old.

ings looking to her formal appointment as
his guardian may be instituted. The petit
tioner says the child's mother, Isabella
Greenfield, recently gave her the right of
guardianship of the boy and that She is
the owner of property sufficient to guar
ahtee his proper care and maintenance as
her charge. The boy, she says. is now in
the custody of Maggie Bell and husband,
living in an alley between L, NJ 2lst streets

The petitioner AYERS that the present
custodian OF the child is not the proper

qualified for his proper maintenance She
says that Mrs Bell has declared to her
that she could never get possession of the
boy. She asks that the child be produced

The Capitol Shirt Waist Club.

From the Atlanta News.
Those who are inclined to speak of the
Capitol Shirt Waist Club In lighter vein do
not recognize a pioneer in thought or moral
courage when they meet one in the road.
The severely hot weather of the closing
week Of June must have brought home TO
every man who has given the subject
thought the necessity for some sort of re-
form in our manner Of dress as well as In
our diet during the summer season
A hundred years from now it will be a
matter to cause laughter when one refers
to the absurd clothing that people wore
in this day and generation and the heavy,
long-drawn-out meals that we of the south
are in the habit OF eating In the middle Of
the day, returning from them to our work
feeling stupid and mentally incapacitated
will be regarded as a frightful memory OF
the past.
The quicker We reform the better. The
Capitol Shirt Waist Club is only blazing
| the way in dress reform, but for that it
deserves serious consideration and consId-
cradle credit.

PART OF PIER DESTROYED,
Result of Storm Yesterday at Chas
tauqua Beach.

A terrific wind and rain storm visited the
vicinity of ChautauQua Beach last night
and did considerable damage. There was
large party of Washington excursionists
gathered about in the buildings out of the
rain, when about 800 feet of the pier sud
denly disappeared. Meanwhile the rain was
pouring down at such a lively rate that
those on shore could not tell what caused
the damage. They did not know whether
or not the pier was struck by lightning nor
when the heavy timbers were carried away
because of the high wind and rough water
When the storm was over and il was
found that so much of the pier was gone
many of the eXcursioniSts ventured out far
enough to view the break. The wharf was
apparently not damaged. Fortunately the
eNcursionists had ample warning of the
approach of the storm. and they were all
of the pier at the time of the disaster The
damage. it is believed. can be repaired in a
few days.
