CHARGED WITH AWFUL CRIME.
John McAndrews Will Be Arraigned ir
Police Court Today.

Police court oday.
John McAndrews, twenty nine years
of age, employed as a car repairer in
the Milwaukee railroad shops, is held
a prisoner at the South side police sta
ton charged with assault.
McAndrews is charged with having
committed an indecent assault upon
Marie Wyatt, the eleVen-year-
daughter of r. c. Wyatt, 1912 Eigh-
teenth avenue south, with whom he has
made his home for some time.
The alleged assault was committed
in the dining room of the childs home
about 8 o'clock Saturday night. When
the mother of the little girl put her to
bed she noticed unmiStakable signs of
the crime with which McAndrews' is
now charged.
The father and mother of the child
closely questioned their baby daughter
and in a hyStericaI manner the little
one related enough to her parents to
cause McAndrews' arrest. Mounted
officer H. J. Johnson was called in and
arrested McAndreWS, who had already
retired.
When taken to the South side. sta
ton McAndrews was closelJ questioned
by Capt. John StavlO. After some at
tempts to excuse his act, he admitted
the truth of the charge to that officer.
McAndrews and the father of the
child are employed in the Milwaukee
shops. The prisoner has made his
home with the Wyatt family for some
years, and only lately returned to board
with them again. He -Iill be arraigned
in the municipal court this morning.

HIS CASE LIKELY TO BE TAKEN
UP TOMORROW MORNING, AS
HE INSISTS ON 1T.
SPECIAL VENlRE TO BE
CALLED FOR HIS CASE
Is Charged With Taking Money Con-
sideration for Protecting Woman
From Arrest-His Attorney Will Not
Hear of a Postponement, Demanding
Immediate Trial.

The trial of Mayor Ames on one OF
the two indictments charging him with
accepting SIS from a woman of i'll fame
in consideration of protecting her from
arrest, is set for today at 10 a. m. Both
cases were set for the same hour, but
inasmuch as there will be no jury in
attendance, no trials can be proceeded
with today in the district court.
A. b. Jackson, the mayors attorney,
demanded that the state proceed to
trial as soon as possible, when the may
or was arrested last Wednesday, even
protesting against the postponement Of
the trials until today; but as the coun-
ty attorney was engaged in the trial
of Coffee john" and the jury panel
had been dismissed, there was no other
alternative.
Mr.. Jackson will appear in court this
morning in behalf of the mayor, and
will doubtless again insist upon the
state bringing the case to trial at
once. In case the state consents to do
so, another special venire will be or
dered, and the work of getting jury
can begin tomorrow forenoon.

Special Gable to The Globe.
LONDON, July 12.-This is the ex-
preston of real, typical American
girl about her going to and being re-
ceived at the English court. She says:
Il crossed the Atlantic all in a CULVER
of excitement to know whether | should
receive a card or not, because on that
would depend our rushing off to Paris
to get court dress. Oh the joy and
the excitement on opening big en-
VelOpe, without a stamp, with a purple
die-mark in one corner, bearing the
mysterious words, Lord Chamberlain's
ONCE There was nothing grand what
ever about the card-just a great big
plain invitation.
THE lord chamberlain is command
ed by their majesties to invite Miss
to court to be held at Buckingham
palace on Friday, June 16, 1902, at 10
o'clock p. m. Full dress. Ladies with
feathers and train.
'Hugging the much priced card to
my heart 1 skipped about the room,
practicing that bow, or courtesy, or
bob, or whatever they like to call it,
that l had been rehearsing for weeks
in my own mind so as to be ready for
the great event.
1--WE went to Paris and ordered the
dress, which, l dare say, would have
been just as we'll made in England,
only somehow it sounds smarter to
cross the channel for it. The four
yards of wonderful train glistening,
sheeny, silvery stuff was made and
ready, the three white plumes, the long
tulle veil and white gloves were all on
my bed waiting, and I was just wild
with excitement.
Gets Her Head Ready.
II wanted to get dressed at breakfast
time, but as the court did not begin
until 10 p. m. the family decided that
was rather too early, although 1 really
did have my head done soon after
lunch, as the hairdreSser came then to
perform upon it. He had so many en-
gagements for court heads, he had to
do it then or not at all. He did it up
in some wonderful manner frizzed it
and curled it, the greater part of the
couture being, however, low on my
neck, as that, he declared, was more
becoming with the tulle veil. When he
had finished he placed the three white
feathers conspicuously in front and
twisted the tulle in and out of the curls.
A long strand of tulle, which was final
ly to hang down my back, he folded up
and pinned in a bob on the top of my
head, so that it might not inconVeni-
ence me during the many hours that
interviewed before 1 went to Bucking-
ham palace.

waiting for invitations; if they only
knew how lovely it all was they would
be even more anxious than they now

Like a Reforming Politician This Fox
Is Dangerous When
NirkIInue

One day the Farmer was approached
by the Fox, who put on sorrowful
look and said:
kindly spare a turnip from your field
for Fox who hasn't tasted food for
the past two days"
"Why, certainly" replied the Farm
er. Just take right hold and eat your
fill and 1T won't cost you a cent"
The Fox gnawed away at the turnip
for awhile and asked:
would you think it cheeky on my
part if 1 asked for one of those pota-
toes you are digging? Raw turnips
are good, but raw potatoes are sort
of dessert to them"
"You kin have a dozen if you want
and welcome. Lands, but don't allow
no one around me to go hungry"
The Fox nibbled for awhile and pre-
tended to enjoy his repast, and his
looks were humble and his tone pathet-
ic as he finally said:
Il don't want you to think me hog,
but if you'd let me finish off on these
thistles and take a drink of ditch water
I'd take leave and hold you in CRATE
full remembrance"
You kin eat the hull patch and drink
all the water in the ditch" replied the
Farmer. Isn't eating turnipS pota-
line? 1 never heard of your doing 1T
before"
ALIAS! sir" answered the Fox.-'T am
driven to it. That is, having decided to
let chickens alone in the future l must
fare as best can. 1t will come hard,
but having integrity on my side 1 shall
conquer. You might announce to the
chickens of your coop as you go home
that l have turned over new leaf"
Yes, 1 will, and you have my best
wishes"
That night, an hour before midnight,
the Fox attempted to enter the coop
of the Farmer and was caught in a
trap. Being disturbed by the racket,
the Farmer came out, and as soon as
the Fax saw him he called out:
How is this, sirrah! How comes it
that you set trap for me? Did / not
tell you only few hours ago that 1
had foresworn chicken meat?"
You did, b'gosh!" replied the Farm
err "and it was for that very reason
1 bumped for home and set this trap"

WOULD NOT LET PREACHER
GO ALONE TO HADES,
"Jamie" INDUCES in Bitter Sarcasm at
Drumtochty Risk.

Ian Maclaren, in his interesting ex-
perience of Drumtochty, brought to-
gether under the title of "Auld Lang
Syne," tells a story of Jamie" Soutar,
who possessed a nippy tongue, which
he was very fond of exploiting at the
expense of humbugs of all sorts DR..
Watson says one of Jamie's most fell
citious strokes was his guileless re-
Spouse to the humiliating invitation of
a lay preacher, who had secured the
Free Kirk for an eXhortation meeting
to wake up Drumtochty to a sense of
its sinful condition, not being aware
that the people of that village carried
their religion deep down in their souls
and not upon their sleeves.
Now, my dear friends said the ex-
horter, all who wish to go to heaven,
stand up and Drumtochty rose in q
solid mass, except Lachlan Campbell,
who considered the preacher ignorant
of the very elements of doctrine, and
Jamie.
Much cheered by this earnest spirit,
the preacher then asked all present
who wished to go elsewhere to declare
themselves after the same fashion No
one moved for the space of thirty sec
onds, and the preacher was about to
fall back on general exhortation, when
Jamie arose in his place and stood
with great composure.
"'You surely did not understand
what 1 said, my aged friend
Jamie indicated that he had thor
oughly grasped the preachers mean

Der; it is an immensely long saloon,
probably about $50 feet, which looks
out on the GARDENS. A friend we met
there said that Sthe kitchens were un-
derneath and this big wing was only
added in 1850, when more space was
found necessary.
Our friend told us that all the rooms
had been refrigerated. They were GER
tainly perfectly -beautiful-such lovely
brocaded walls and wonderful curtains,
lots of pictures, many of which they
said were priceless; and one thing
struck me as particularly strange, the
magnificent chandeliers and Candida
bra. We never have such things in
America; but they were simply gor-
geous with incandescent lights shining
behind their SpriSmatic colors The pal
ace was simply banked with flowers
and the air scented with their per-.
fumes.
Servants Were Gorgeous.
'There were lots of gorgeous SER
wants everywhere with red liverieS en-
blaZoned with gold. Most of them
wore white stockings and black shoes
with buckles. There We're endless off,
Gals from the lord chamberlain's office
in dark blue uniforms with gold en-

most delightful old men possible, who,
they said, were Beefeaters, and had
come from the Tower of London in all
their magnificence to assist at the
court at buckingham palace. Num-
berS Of men were there in black vel
vet or cloth, with steel buttons, little
white lace frills, silk stockings and a
sword, probably the most becoming
costume modern man ever wore; and
there were many wonderful uniforms
with breasts abiaze with orders and
medals. These gentlemen were speed
lily favored and allowed to go with
their women folk, but, of course, they
were not presented. A man is only
presented to the king at a levee, and
when at court, and their ladies pass
the royal presence, the men disappear
and join them in a later room. Then
there were thirty of the body guard,
all gentlemen of Importance, who wore
splendid uniforms and big brass he'll

this royal guard, so most of them were
present, and I was sorry for them

clothes for hours and hours. At the
last court one of them tainted twice,

All Very Enchanting.
'It was all so beautiful I hardly
know how to describe it. The king and
queen arrived exactly at 1920. By
this time we had been in the place
about an hour. They entered at the
top end of the big hall or concert hall
and stood on red velvet carpet-not
on dais-facing the organ loft, where
the band played at intervals. Behind
them were two thrones, but they stood
for one hour and a quarter while the
debutantes and mothers passed, and
each bowed separately to each woman

The Indian princes over for the coro-
nation were wonderful. One man in
gold and cream brocade wore gorgeous
jewels and a ruby as big as a form;
another was dressed in a sort of dress
ing gown with diamond buttons of
enormous size; another wore a won
derful green and gold sash which fast
ened in a big bow in front over his
portly form. They were certainly a
great addition to a magnificent spec

The placing Of President Lin
coins picture in the Mississippi
Hall of Fame is in bad
taste. The statute creating the
department Of archives and histo-
ry defines the duties of Mr.. Row
land, who is the director and he
should have confined himself to
the discharge of that duty. His
"hall of fame" is a creation OF his
own aud only reflects his ideas
about who are the famous men of
Mississippi. True he had his "im-
mortals" indicated by vote, but
every respectable paper in the
State rspudiated the scheme and
the Memphis paper utilized the
incident as an advertisement there
by swelling the vote. The Legis-
lation should wipe out the bust
ness as a farce. There is no bitter
ness against Mr.. Lincoln. But
what direct connection has he
with famous Mississippians or
with the history of the State.
