OLD DUTCH WE'RE CHOLERlC
They Called Each other "Snappert-

They Called Each other "Snappert-
Jes," and Even Worse.
What contentious crowd the in
Breuckelen, now part of Brooklyn,
was!
The early records are filled with
reports of inquiries into the cause Of
rioting and disturbances of the peace.
The early court records consist largely
of actions brought for SANDER and as
sault. 1t is recorded that man was
arrested for calling an official a ''snap
pertje," another was put in Jail, charg-
ed with having called his neighbor a
"dick beeste" and still another was
clapped into jail for having called a
certain official a "bloodsucker" Some
of the old Dutch records make interest
ing reading.
And the court meted out justice in all
these cases with regard for common
sense and a disregard for statute law
that one cannot help but admire. One
instance of curious adjustment OF
penalties may be cited:
The village tavern keeper and a con-
tentious woman both appeared before
the court. asking justice. They had
Quarreled. The woman had accused the
innkeeper of watering his brandy, and
he in turn had applied an opprobriOus
epithet to the woman. The court after
hearing the evidence adjudged both to
be guilty. With rare discrimination
in making the punishment fit the crime
the man was fined 6 gulden and the
woman, who had impugned the quality
of the brandy, was fined 20 gulden.
With hundreds of times the pOpula-
ton today, the courts of Brooklyn do
not have One-tenth the SANDER or as
sault cases that they had some 200
years ago. and. as for a riot, there has
not been one of any magnitude even
threatened in more than n score of
years.-BroOklyn Eagle.

THE EXPERTS THEORY.
II Was Too Inclusive and Weakened
Him ms Witness.

One of the older members of the Bal
timore bar tells this anecdotc OF the
late Severn Tcacklc Wallis as illustrat-
ing the cleverness and sarcasm of Mr..
Wallis:
Mr.. Wallis was defending the Will of
q wealthy teStator and, as the lawyers
say, when the estate is large lawyer
"wll wrestle with will with Il WILL
A prominent physician was called to
testify for those contesting the will
The doctor became restless under the
lengthy and exhaustive cross examina-
ton OF Mr.. Wallis, and finally he petu-
lantly exclaimed:
"Oh, Mr.. Wallis, believe the tesla
tor was insane"
Mr.. Wallis kept his temper and said
quietly: doctor, you are the first per-
son who has ever intimated in or out
of court that the testator was insane.
Why do you say he was insane?"
81 believe" the doctor replied, that
every man is more or less insane on
some one subject"
as 1t your deliberate professional
opinion" Mr.. Wallis then asked, eek
pressed here in court under oath, that
every man is more or less insane on
some subject?'
yes" the doctor replied; Il will say
here under oath that from my reading,
knowledge and experience | believe
that every man is more or less insane
on some one subject
Then Mr.. Wallis said In that fine
tone Of sarcasm for which he was not
ed. doctor. has 1t ever occurred to you
that you are insane on the subject Of
insanityY'
Immediately the doctor fired up and
exclaimed, But, Mr.. Wallis. 1 am not
insanew
Mr.. Wallis arose and said: doctor,
according to your own sworn theory.
you must be insane on some subject. l
pronounce you insane on the subject Of
insanity"
Court Jury and spectators laughed
aloud, and nothing more was said about
the testator being insane.-BaltimOrc

CUP DEFENDERS PAY BILLS

Tho axact sum of money paid for the
co,urbia in 1899 is not known, but the
sum has been estimated at NOT less IMAM
s150, 900. Without "a doubt it cost over
$50, 600 to carry her through the season.
nrohab lv the sum was much greater than
this. In the first part OF the season her
owners paid $4,000 for three suits OF
sails. And then there was the Defender
which acted as trial horse to the Co
lumbia. It cost just $4,000 for her TO DE
a trial horse, but it was paid without
sroan.
And now for the present season:
1t will have been noticed that the con-
struction of each cup defender has cost
| infinitely more than its predecessor. me
fact is. the Herreshoffs have charged
several thousands of dollars for each
minute of extra speed. Following those
deductions the Constitution has unques-
tiona bly, cost not a cent less than 100000
| to build, She has large tender, the
| steamboat Mount Hope, and a crew OF
| sixty-eight men. She has three or four
| suits of sails, extra spars and the like.
and she will go into dry dock before the
cup races. Outside of the 100000 spent
| on her construction she Will PROBABLY
cost the Belmont syndicate about SS0.o0o.
! Then there is the cost of her trial
! horse, the Columbia. She will carry a
crew of forty men, each of whom VII
| receive $35 month in wages. Ihat
makes So, 200 a month: ST. 900 for the five
months she will be in commission The
wages of Captain Barr and the first and
second mates will aggregate for those
five months $4,000: the tender will eos
81 500. Uniforms for the men have al
ready resulted in an expenditure of $1,000
and there is the cost of feeding them to
b. considered. This makes $4,000. and
her sails and spars and overhauling and
other particulars will easily cost another
$25. 900. 1t will thus be seen that all in
all $3.50, 900 is a conservative estimate OF
the cost of defending the cup this year

EXPERT SWIMMER DROWNED
Fatal Ending of Life Saving Exhibi-
ton by Father and
DAUGHTER. E. =
(By Associated Press.)

New York, Sept. 2.-George Belcher OF
Brooklyn, we'll known as an expert ana
fancy swimmer, was drowned at Broad
channel Rockaway beach, yesterday. He
was giving an exhibition in deep water
of how a swimmer could carry a person
on his back, and carried his daughter,
Eva, Is years old.
Hundreds of persons We're intently
watching the two when Belcher and his
daughter began to founder in the water.
The crowd thought that this was part of
the exhibition and none made a move to
help until Belcher's wife, who was among
the spectators, began to scream that
something must be wrong. Both SWIM
mers sank.
Finally a man in the crowd rushed
into the water and, after diving. brought
| the girls body to the surface She was
revived, but when her fathers body was
recovered life was extinct.
