REVERSED HIS DECISION.
Judge Stubs Changed His Mind
when lie Heard Tomey's Story.

In the tria. of Ulysses S. Tomey. in Po-
lice Court yesterday morning. charged with
profanity, a story of poverty and privation
came to light. The mans condition did
not become known until after Judge Stubs
had assessed a fine of 81 and costs, which
would have compelled him to forsake his
wife and three small children to serve
eleven days in the workhouse. Tomey did
not explain to the court the circumstances
of his case. When these became known,
Judge Stubs quickly reversed his decision,
and with Bailiff Dawson asked the manager
of the NationaI Starch Company to rein
state Tomey. Many of the lawyers in court
gave the man money. The manager said
that Tomey was one of the best workmen
in the factory.
1t is said that Tomey and his family de-
sired TO move from their former home,
which was considered too noisy for his
children. When he undertook to remove his
furniture the ~neighbors jeered him., and 1t
was said by himself that he cursed one of
them. A warrant was sworn out and
Tomey was arrested. The man is a son of
a weli-to-do farmer Of Morgan county. The
boy came to this city intending to make
his own living. The city did not hold out
the great future for him that he had
dreamed of.

Panama Hats Bring Peace.

According to S.. p. Bogran, son OF
the late President Bogras of Hondu-
las, the republic is enjoying greater
prosperity than for many years past
simply because Panama hats are in
fashion. Honduras and the State OF
Panama are the only two countries
where Panama hats are made. and the
revolution in Colombia has kept peo-
pie in Panama too busy to be manu-
featuring hats. So Honduras has
plenty Of business in this line.
The Honduras government has
found the new Industry so advanta-
geous that it is giving it every
agement and extending special priyi-
leges and exceptions from taxation to
the factories manufacturing Panama
