THE ROOKWORM.

The Bookworm for February published by Loveman, Joseph x Loeb, and edited by G. Clement Earle, Is an especially at tractive number. Among the contributors are Rev. John c. Murray who reviews Tommy and Grizel'; Rev. J. P. McFer- rin, who reviews "The Master Christian; i; Prof. J. B. Cunningham, who reviews "The Soft Side", and Rev. J. J. Grier, who reviews "The House Behind the Ce- dars "
 copiously illustrated article is 'The Carnival Cities of the South" contain ing half tones of fifteen notable southern belles.
 Dr. McFerrin in his criticism of .The Master Christian" says, in conclusion, "Her (Marie Corelli's) principal charac- ter, Cardinal Bonpre, she makes to illus trate the teachings of our Lord and there is no doubt that if all priests, preachers and professors of religion were to live as he lived. the blight of sin would soon be lifted from the world. As stated in the beginning. we do not agree with the talented author in all her positions We have no thought that the church in general is as bad as she makes it. There are multitudes who have not bowed the knee to Baal; who are trying to live pure, consistent lives; characters as noble and Christ-like as any she has portrayed Still, there is ground for much she has written. She has voiced the feelings and sentiments of multitudes out of the church, and it behooves the church to heed the warning, and in the spirit of full consecration, to take away all cause for reproach, and represent the Master to the World''
 The Bookworm is gaining a wide circu- lation, and cultured society Is giving 1t unstinted praise.

Fight Ends in Happy Mari age.

Fight Ends in Happy Marriage.
 What is the first case. Mir. Clerk" asked Judge Feagin In the Police Court yesterday.
 "The first case, your Honor, Is Madge Berry and Sherman Treadway, accused of disorderly conduct" said the clerk
 Here Madge and Sherman toed the line which runs parallel with the judges desk and is just at the right lecture distance therefrom.
 Guilty or not?" asked the judge.
 'Well, I guess not, judge" said the man.
 How do you guess, Madge?"
 'I guess he Is, judge. I knows ain't an dere's 'blged to be guilt somewhere when dere's so many perlice." The witnesses were then sworn to tell nothing but the truth. Time was short, and if they told nothing but the truth about the defendants it would take con- siderable time. An officer then stated that sherman was whipping Madge, during which pro- cess he had broken up the furniture; "and when I found him, your Honor he was pretty badly broken up himself, and was bleeding from a wound in the head" Madge then said that she only wanted Sherman arrested because she was afraid of him. That she felt much happier when he was in jail instead of out on bond. Didn't mind the bond of matri- mony so long as there were no other bond issues. Another witness was asked by the judge if Sherman treated Madge as his wife.
 'I dunno know bout dat, jedge," she said. 1T ain't never been married. But from de way he beat her, thinks he did"
 Do they live together?" asked the judge.
 This question seemed to embarrass the witness, and she adjusted her hat before she could reply.
 "Fix your hat right" said the judge. "so you can tell the truth"
 "Yessir, jedge. I has ter hab my hat on straight so I can tell CT straight tale" !"
 Further testimony elicited the fact that the parties had not been married. The witness then, in playful way, said she was from Montgomery.
 T don't know how old I am, jedge, ex- cept that I ain't forty. I might as well be. though, for I have been living in Montgomery all my life. I was at my work, an didn't pay no 'tention to the row."
 Did you hear them say anything?" asked the judge.
 "Nothin' particular"
 "Anything unparticular?'
 s'No, sir."
 'What do you know?" asked the judge of another witness.
 Precious little, jedge," she replied. iMadge told me she had been after de

 "Stop." said the judge Drop the cross-examination and make your state ment"
 The defendant then stated that he was in society, and went to a big entertain ment on that night with his friend Mir. Scott and several other gentlemen. That there were lot if transients around the boarding house, and he had no doubt that some of them had taken the money, if MT Cunningham ever had any, which he doubted. That about o'clock that morning someone woke him up and said Mr. Cunningham had lost $15. q said don't wake me up about dat foolishness, l needs sleep. Don't you know Tse been to big entertainment? When I heard de sheriff was comin' I said. 'Dere now, dat man was a-goin' to arrest me any how fur bein' an escape, and Judge Fea- gin would fine me $25.' Furthermore, to someone else."

 What do you know about It, Billy?'' he was asked.
 T know dis, jedge," he said. "I had de money, an I ain't got 1t now" The prosecutor then went on to tell how he and Seabright and several other colored gentlemen were rooming together at a fashionable boarding house, and how Seabright got up during the night and stole the money out of his pocket. "1 woke up at 5 o'clock, jedge," he said, 'an' found de money gone. Dere was free gemmen sleepin' in one bed an four in anuder. I picked up all dere pants an sarched 'em. I found my pocketbook in Henrys pants, but de money was gone. l axed him about it, an he said some- body else stole de money an put de pockJ etbook in his pants to put de 'spicion on him."
 Another witness said he twas dar, an saw de plaintiff loolkin' through de pants Dey was so thin he could look right through 'em I told him he ought 'nter do dat. He den said if he could find Hem " he could see fru him.
 The defendant then asked leave to cross-examine the prosecutor.

ATTERBURY FOR 4 DEMOCRAT.
THINKS AN INDEPENDENT ONE SHOULD
BE NOMINATED BY REPUBLICANS
FOR MAYOR.

That the Republican party would be acting
wisely In naming Independent Democrat for
Mayor is the conclusion reached by Walter B. At
terbury chairman of the Kings County Repub-
lican General Committee. Speaking along these
lines he said yesterday
think Tammany will be halder to defeat than
II four years ago. AT this time IL to
me that the Republican party owes the city a
act unselfshly the Gold Democrats did in the
last two Presidential campaigns. and place no OBJ
stacle in the way Of securing better condition Of
things in our own city government. think the
nomination of independent Democrat OF the
right sort would give voters confidence IN pro-
fessions. This is Democratic city in everything
but support OF Tammany misrule. The balance OF
power is held by independent citizens. do not
think that elect candidate known TO be
partisan Republican. Therefore. think, TO win
the proper course would be to name a man who
had the confidence of the independents The logic
OF the situation points to an independent Democrat
the strongest candidate.
Mr.. Atterbury added that he had such in
mind but did not care to mention his name
