A Color Blind Defendant.

 "Come round, old chappie,' said the sheriff, "and prepare to meet your fate.

 "Yes sir" said the officer: Ines one of the worst chips on the block. He got on a b. b. b. booze last night on xxx whiskey"
 q notice a smell of evil spirits said the Judge.
 "The odor Is bad enough to drive any other kind of spirits away. While l can make my own prognostications as to the case, I would prefer to hear some of the allegations. Remember, too, that the all legata and probata must correspond to the oblongata. This Is a rule In this court without exceptions; that Is to say, no ex- captions must be taken to it. A witness then took the stand and tcs- tifed that he ran a double -barreled bar which was white on one side and black on the other. That the defendant, who was externally white, but whose heart was externally black following the dic- | tates of his heart, entered the black side of the bar But that the witness, whose business was to skin people, paid more l attention to defendants skin than his heart, and insisted he should drink on | the white side, where the price of drinks was higher. Defendant took Il drink, but wouldn't pay a white mans price, claim 1 ing that man with thirst like his should be given wholesale rates.

Wants To Prevent Strike.

Father Phillips asked Mr. Morgan if he would meet John Mitchell, president of the United Mine Workers Association, who has been here for several days. MT. Morgan in reply said in substance that his attitude up to the present has been to prevent a strike. He said he was much interested in the visit of the dele gation and he assured them that they could rely upon him to do all within his power to prevent any action that would paralyZe business. He remarked, how ever, that he was disinclined to hold a public conference with the labor leaders, indlca ting as a reason for this attitude the belief that should public meeting between himself and the labor leaders be held, the publicity thereof and possibly attending conclusion might hamper the achievements of the best ends which Gll were seeking. In other words, as Mir. Morgan remarked, should he hold pub lie meeting or conference, half of New York would be upon his heels.''
 MT. Morgan added that the end sought could be best achieved through other channels, and he assured the delegation that he might communicate with the boards of trade later
 You may rest assured that I believe there will be no strike,' remarked A1r. Morgan.
 MT. Morgan shook hands with the mem bers of the delegation and they parted.
 MT. Morgan after the interview declined to make any statement relative thereto.

Phillips acting as chairman, held con ference today with J. P. Morgan in the private office of MT Morgan in this city. The conditions of unrest in the anthra- cite coal region at present were set forth in the briefest possible form by Father Phillips, who presented the delegation to MT. Morgan, and to whom MT. Morgan expressed his interest in their errand and his willingness to make personal effort to prevent a strike, though he declined to hold a public conference with inc la bor leaders
 The delegation who met MT. Morgan to- day comprised the Rev. W. s. Phillips, from Hazeton, and Edward Lauterbach the treasurer, and A. T. McAlester, the secretary of the Hazleton Board of Trade J.

 Arrangements for this meeting were made last week by the officials of the va rious boards of trade of the local region of Pennsylvania through Rev, Father Phillips. as chairman. The conference lasted less than half an hour. Father Phillips made a brief presentation, say iug that the delegation were there merely trying to bring about some action that would prevent a strike; that they were ready to act as an intermediary body, or to be used In any way that would com promise any differences existing.

It's expected that the 3Crowninshield
designs for the Lawson cup defender
will be in the hands of tie tie builder,
George r. Lawley, SO that the work of
laying down the boat can be completed
before the first of the year. or about
three weeks behind tic Herreshoff
boat. The lead angle iron and plating
have already. been ordered, and If there
are no delays there seems to be no rea-
son why the Boston boat will not be
launched about the same time as the
one at Bristol.
In fact there is something like a race
already between the two yachts. ii
looks as if the Lawson boat 5olsld be
built at the tlantie work. in I5fSSss os-
ton, under the supervision Of Aii.. Ilayv-
ley. No dimensions will ba given out
until the boat is fully under way, but
after that tits understood that free ac-
cess will be afforded anyone who de-
sires to look at the work on the new
boat.
