One On Bill Ass.

4 The Rev. Mr.. Azbill came in for
rather severe arraignment yesterday
afternoon when Judge Gear decided
the case OF Levy Va. Azhill in favor
of the plaintiff This case grew out
of the sale of the lease of the
Queens Hotel to Mr.. Lazy by the
Rev. Mr.. Azbill. The terms OF the
sale had been concluded and the
plaintiff made payment to bind
the bargain. just at thi, time the
plague came on and for this and
other reasons the deal fell through,
because OF the failure of aaid de-
fendant to keep his part OF the con-
tract. Mr.. Azbill failed to return
the money to the plaintiff and Mr..
Levy began suit to compel its re-
payment. The court severely scored
Mr.. Azbill for his part in the tran'-
actions, holding that the evidence
showed him to have been in the
, hotel during the time alleged and
for which Levy received no pay.
1T seems t, me-" concluded
Judge Gear, shat the plaintiff is
entitled to recover the full amount
sued for. l am surprised to see a
man 10 the profession OF Mr. Azoill
take advantage of such thing.
Even If he thought that Mr., Levy
had no legal right in the case, it
seems to me that he would feel
morally bound to return the money
to him. But it ia proven that plain
tiff is legally entitled to the money
The evidence shows that Mr.. Azbill
was paid $3.50 and this amount Levy
is entitled to recover with interest
from January, 1900 The clerk will
enter this judgment."-P' O. A,

handed the commission to the Lord
High Chancellor, who, while hand
ilg it to another kneeling clerk,
sai6.
"Let all be uncovered while the
commission is read"
After the necessary ceremonies,
Earl Russell was conducted TO the
bar. He calmly surveyed his Judges
and Peers. Then clerk OF Parla-
meut cried loudly;
John Francis Stanley, Earl Rms
sell, come forth and surrender TO
bail or forfeit recognizance."
"How SAY YOU, MY LoRD2"
Then Black Rod, bedecked with
medals and in uniform, approached
the bar, which was raisei as the
Earl drew near, aud surrendered
Earl Russell. Upon reaching his
appointed seat, Earl Russell stood
leaning against the table aud then
made obeisauce three times to the
Lord High Steward. He remained
with bowed head until the latter
| addressed the accused. Then the
Indictment was read by the clerk,
who concluded with these words:
"How say you, my Lord, guilty Of
l
felony, or not guilty7'
Before Earl Russell could answer
his counsel objected to the iudict-
ment on the ground that the alleged
offsnse was committed outside the
dominions OF His Majesty, King
Edward. During the course Of the
technical and tresome argume ut
by the Earl's counsel the pro.ecu.
tion summoned Judge Curler within
the bar to confer on certain points
raised in counsel's argument.
Alter the reply OF the prosecution
to the argument of counsel for the
defense Earl Russell. in voice
scarcely audible, pleaded guilty.
Hi, counsel then addressed the
House in mitigation, urging that the
accused had acted on the best legal
advice obtainabls in Nevada, that
the offense was merely technical aud
that no harm had been done. Lord
Rnssell addressed the House in the
same strain, saying the decree re-
ceived in the United States gave
special sanction to new marriage.
Earl Russell said he proposed to
re-marry Mollie Cook as early az
possible. Concluding, he sad he
placed himself in their Lordships'
hands, that he had acted in ignor.
ance and with no intention of will
ingly defying the law.
The peers retired to consider their
verdict. When they had reassem'
bled the Lord High Steward called
for the prisoner. The whole House
rose to it's feet when the Lord High
Steward proceeded TO deliver the
judgment. While the crime could
not be passed over, said the Lord
High Steward, there were severa
mitigating circumstances. In con.
sideration OF and as result of these
their Lordships had unanimously
declared that justice would be salts
fed by his being imprisoned in
Holloway prison for three month";
as criminal in the frat degree.

.4LVORD'S .FxITE,

Cornelius L. Alvord, jr., the phenome-
nal thief who stole about 500, 900 from
the Bank of Manhattan and pleaded
guilty to stealing 100000, is now in
Sing Sing. He is there because the
judge who dealt with his case yester-
day sentenced him TO eight years i'm
prisonment under count number thirty
nine of the indictment, which charged
him with making false entries in the
books of the bank, and five years under
count number fifty, which charged him
with falsifying the Clearing House
sheet. The five years sentence is to be-
gin at the expiration of the eight years
term.
If Alvord behaves well in prison, as
he doubtless will, he will have only
eight years and three months in all to
serve. While this, of course. seems
great while to him and his friends, some
who are not particularly interested in
him will think that he has received
light punishment. His stealing was so
big that there is feeling that his pun
ishment ought to be big too Perhaps
he is no more wicked than the man
who steals a few thousand dollars but
he is much more conspicuous. 1t is in
teresting 10 notice that in sentencing
him the judge said that the adroitness
of the crime and its far reaching conse-
quences should be taken into consider
alton. He said also that he must take
into consideration that the banks were
trusted by the public and that the
prisoner at the bar had betrayed this
trust.

ONE.


James r. Howe is the Register of
Kings county, New York. lie is Re-
publican. He is also sane, or, at least,
he is generally supposed to be sane.
And yet he doesn't want all there is in
his office. He points out that during
the last twelve months the fees of his
office have been very large. After
spending at least $4,000 more than was
probably ever expended in giving the
county broad and liberal service, and
after giving away upwards of $4,000 for
charitable purposes, there still remains
to his credit more than $4,000. He also
says that If he had chosen to conduct
the office with a selfish motive he could
nave increased its profits to more than
$4,000 for the last year. He wants the
Office made salaried one and conduct
ed on business principles, so that the
people will get what belongs to them.
1t is not likely that Mr.. Howe's ex-
ample will find many imitators. There
are few office holders who think they
are getting roo much.

A CTE4R CASE

A bill now before the House pro-
vides that any person subject to the
authority of the United States who
shall give, sell, or otherwise supply
any arms, ammunition, explosive sub
stance, intoxicating liquor, or opium to
any aboriginal native of the New
islands lying within the twentieth par
allel north latitude and the fortieth
parallel south, and the 12Oth meridian
west longitude and the 12Oth east, not
being in the possession of or under the
protection of any civilized power, shall
be punishable by Imprisonment not ex-
ceedins three months, with or without
hard labor, or a fine not exceeding $50,
or both.
1t has been pointed out that this
measure would only bar the citizens Of
the United States from a profitable
trade open to all the world, including
nations of minor Importance which
would probably never pass laws of such
a restrictive character; but the advo-
Gates of the bill contend that this gov
should do its share toward
prohibition in the islands, regardless
of what less devout nations might do
OF course the advocates of the bill are
right This country should never do
wrong in order TO get little, or much
more trade.

a workman was injured or killed during
her construction, and his dependents
scurvily treated by the admiralty of the
period. His wife, dying Of childbirth
shortly afterward cursed the ship. So
