ANOTHER BLUNDER OF EXPERTS

Handwriting "experts" have again blundered. and most previously. Their latest victim to pretensions of infali- bility Is man who was for time post master at Shawnee, ohio. While he was in charge of the office some regis tered packages disappeared, but eight days later they were found in the post office door box and with them was a note saying Take your money and be more careful next time. The post master fell under the suspicion of an inspector, was arrested and then con- victed solely on the testimony of ex- perts, who were positive that he was the author of the note.
 Confronted by sentence of four years Imprisonment, yet knowing that he was innocent. the unfortunate man made an unavailing fight fin the courts for three years, spent all his money in so doing, and just about as he was to be sent to prison a clerk confessed the crime. The case furnishes timely and striking illustration of the danger of re- lying on the otherwise unsupported tes- timony of the supposed experts in handwriting, no matter how positive they may be in their declarations Pittsburg Commercial Gazette.

MONTE CARLOS PENSION LIST.
A Small Sum Paid to Persons Who
 Have Lost Their Fortunes.

Monte Carlo, the most famous gam bling place in the world, has a very cu- rious pension liat. Here are inscribed the names of the men and women who have lost their fortunes at the tables, and who are allowed small sums daily for the rest of their miserable lives. This practice, which was inaugurated by Pere Blanc in his paternal care for the decaves, Is also being dropped as the pensionnaires die out. The pen- sions now range from $1 to $8 per day. according to the amount which mas. been lost at the tables and the social position of the recipient. For instance. a tall Scotchman who Is a familiar flg- ure upon the Promenade des Anglaise in Nice, receives two louis (about sS) per day. He lost one and quarter millions at roulette. He has still small income, and the bank therefore considers his pension sufficient to keep this broken vessel from coming to the ground. If one could go through the whole list, what story might be writ ten anent each item!
 There Is no hope of the Casino being closed, not even during the summer, but if people would only restrain their passion for gaming for another five years, as they showed themselves ca pable of doing during the winter of '96 and s7, the dividend will come out zero, and the bank will be broken, not in name only, but also in deed.-Ledger Monthly.

coLoRED FLAGPoLEs.
staffs of Red and Even of Green Are
 Now Occasionally Seen.

White is, of course, still the prevail ing color for. painting flagpoles." said a fiagpole man, but you see nowadays more colored flagpoles than you used to-; and don't know but what l like the colored fiagpoles pretty well. White is, suppose, after all the proper color for a fiagpole. The white pole seems to stand up more mast-like and defiant. but the colored pole is more p.ctureslue.
 painted in other colors than white have most of them been painted red, terra cotta red. And in my judgment this deep red is a pretty good color for a hagstan. Red is Q good color to stand exposure; 1t shows wear less than white does, and 70 people paint 'em red.
 As to green. that must say SC .ms at first like an odd and inappropriat ate color for a fiagstaff surmounting a building; nevertheless, pole in dark green may be a dignified and slightly object. and there is one advantage per- taining to green pole, namely, 1t shows off the gilt top piece, if there is one, to inc advantage. I have in mind one dark green pole upon the summit of which. rising above the gfded metal lie fixture indicating the points of the compasa. is a fine, giIded eagle, this whole top piece of gold showing strik- insly by contrast with its dark green support.

LONDON INSTANCE.

How ith-healing fanatics are dealt with in England is shown in a clipping from the London Daily Telegraph, which the Chicago Journal has received from q correspondent.
 Henry William Welsh and his wife were convicted of cruelty to their little son. Edwin, aged 6 months. The pa- rents were charged with neglecting the child In manner likely to cause him unnecessary suffering and injury to his health.
 The child had whooping cough, and subsequent pneumonia, and died. No doctor was called, the parents belong Ing to the sect known as Peculiar Peo- pie. An elder was called to pray over and anoint the sufferer.
 The surgeon who made a post -mortem examination expressed the opinion that medical aid might have saved the life of the child, or at least have lessened It's sufferlngs. It transpired during the evidence that five of the couples child ren had died without medical attend anee.
 In tha course of the trial the father said;
 'If the child was suffering pain and called upon God and he took the pain away could you prove that by post mortem examination? We'll, I have known God to take away pain in illness In quicker time than you could prepare a drug.
 'l wish to say, after proving the word or God as have done for nearly thirty years--God having saved my soul. for that period--my reason for having talk en the course have is wholly and sole ly to obey the word of God. He has an- swered prayers and taken pains away from myself, my wife and my children many times In less time than could walk quarter of a mile to fetch doc tor I am not despising doctors but having proved Gods power to be above their power. I desire to obey his word. and in doing so to honor him."
 The judge observed that he had no doubt the prisoners were respectable and kind people. but they held mistaken and unreasonable views; 1t was pos~.- ble that they were rather led away by others than that they acted on their own convictions. It was his duty to give effect to the law by which it was sought to preserve the lives of children. and save them from pain and suffering. He did not intend. however, to make martyrs of the prisoners.
 The correspondent adds that if there is no such law in Illinois it is time one vas enacted, in view of the case of Mrs, Worthingtoh Judd.
