AN AMIcABLE SETTLEMENT
Is Now Family in Sight in Boston
in Boston Brewery Strike.

Boston. April 1S.-The first indca-
ton that the strike of the brewery
workers may possibly be settled annie
ably before long. was shown. today, in
the fact that informal conferences were
held between parties connected with
the Brewers Association and the
Brewery Workers Union at which the
trouble was talked over. Neither of
the conferees was clothed with the
slightest authority to speak for his re-
spective organization and the outcome
of the conferences was not in the
slightest degree binding upon either
side. Nevertheless. the mere fact that
the parties to the controversy have
shown an inclination to meet each
other and discuss the situation has
tended to create Il feeling that some
thing more tangible may result from
these informal meetings.
There has been no change. today, in
the general status Of the strike.

What She Was Charged With.

About ten years ago witnessed an un-
usual occurrence in the circuit court room
at London, KY. Judge Robert Boyd was
the presiding justice. One morning, short
ly after the court had opened, Andrew
Jackson, the foreman of the grand jury,
appeared before the judge in charge of a
woman, who, he stated, had refused to
testify before the grand jury.
The judge, with very polite bow, said
to the woman: Madam, it is your duty
to tell anything you may know about any
violations of the law in this county, eX-
cept, of course, such as may have taken
place in your immediate family. Itwould
be very disagreeable to me to have to
punish you in any way, and l trust that
you will 60 at once and answer the ques-
tions that may be asked by the foreman of
the grand jury"
"Tll be burned if I do" she said with a
whitening look of scorn.
"Mr. Clerk, enter fine of $40 against
this woman" said the court. Now,
madam, you 60 and testify to this jury at
once"
You 60 to HI, you burned old fool"
the woman retorted.
Mr.. Sheriff, take her to JAIL" roared
the judge.
"And hain't I already in Jail for selling
whiskey, and brought out of Jail to tes-
>tify?" she said, and with an inimitable
toss Of her head she passed out of the
court room.
Being very fond of the judge, and quite
intimate with him, I arose and said to
him, as if had not fully gathered what
had been going on: MAY 1 inquire of
your honor what the lady is charged
with?"
II don't know know, sir; but I think
she is charged with dynamite" replied
the court with look of exasperation.-

ORIGINAL JUDGE LYNCH.
he Was a Brave and Useful Member
Of Our Early Society.

OF Our Early Society.
Tradition sometimes plays strange
pranks with dead mems regulations.
1t would make an interesting half hour
for the eavesdropper beyond the Styx
If he could hear the exchange Of amen
tiles between Duns Scotus and Judge
Lynch, the one shrewd, clear reason
er, whose nane now signifies a fool;
the other a simple Quaker gentleman,
whose name has come to stand for Or
ganiZed savagery.
Charles Lynch was a man whose
services to his country as brave pion-
Ger and righteous judge, as a soldier
and a statesman, are by no means de-
serving Of oblivion, still less Of oblo-
guy. It seems indeed one Of the in
EQUITIES Of fate that his name should
now be universally applied to proceed
ings that no one would condemn more
heartily than he. The records Of the
court of Bedford county, in Virginia,
and those Of various Quaker meetings,
the journals of the Virginia house Of
burgesses and Of the first constitu-
tional convention, taken together with
family documents and traditions, show
him to have been an upright and useful
member of society and wise and en-
ergetic leader at the most important
crisis Of American history.-Atlant1c.

There Is q gentleman in Boston who

lies and who gives an interesting ac-
count Of the methods Of one Of these
small states when it comes to q ques-

tsists of a single old fashioned side
wheel steamer, armed with one gun.
In time Of peace she is engaged in haul
ing freight up and down the river
which runs close to the capital.
At the outbreak Of one Of the perl
odical wars not so very long ago the
president of the republic took charge
Of the steamer and started up stream
on a recruiting expedition, leaving his
senior general in charge Of the military
preparations at the capital. A couple
Of days later the steamer returned,
and some seventy miserable looking
natives, each firmly bound with q
strong rope, were marched off and
turned over to the general, with a note
from the president which read:
Dear General-I send you herewith sew
enty volunteers. Please return the ropes
at once.
