JUDGE JACKSON SOFT TOWARD FAIR SEX

Judge Jackson, OF West Virginia, the
iron Judge" as he is called. has soft
spot in his heart for women culprits.
Many of the criminal cases which he has
to dispose of are moonshiners, from the
mountains. woman "shiner" with a
babe in her arms was one of a number
before him in Charleston once. Her
story she told in her simple way. To
keep her babe and herself from starva-
tion she had made and sold a little
liquor. but she would never do it again.
The Judge let her off with a fine. sus-
pended the imprisonment. gave her
moral lecture in his classical style, and
said he would not send that baby to the
penitentiary-
AT this moment recess for luncheon
was taken, and when court reassembled
there was another woman with baby
in her arms. Same result-a light fine
and no Imprisonment. An hour later a
third woman with baby in her arms
faced the court. The keen blue eyes
of the patriarchar jurist now opened

Fair October Weather Anticipated
The citizens committee have been
particularly fellcitous in their choice of
date. Washington Is never prettier
than early in October. The foliage is
still aboundant. the parks are at their
best. the air is cool bracing. and in

standpoint OF the desirability OF a city,
the time Of the year. and the patriotism
that the Capital alone can inspire.
there can be no doubt that the gentle
men in charge OF the undertaking have

n-chief of the Grand Army of the Re
public.
Receptions and barbecues, fetes and
excursions are planned in bewildering
profusion. There will not be an idle
moment for any of the visiting soldiers
of the civil war.
The President of the United States has
given his unqualified approval TO the ef
forts of the citizens, and will review the
grand parade and give a reception to
the veterans at a time hereafter to ne
announced.
The ladies of the C. A. r. have
evinced the greatest enthusiasm in the
work of the encampment. and the part
that they will have to play during the
week will contribute no little enjoyment
to the occasion. They, too. will hold
huge reception in Convention Hall and
will plan many features that will en-
hance the pleasure of the stay of the
veterans and their families.
1t is safe to say. perhaps. that in no
encampment heretofore have there been
so many novelties of entertainment sug-
gested. One Of the most catching
features recently spoken of is the pro-
posed automobile race on Pennsylvania
Avenue. in which the participants will
be the crack automobilsts OF this coun-
try. The vacant piece of ground on
Pennsylvania Avenue, which will short
ly be occupied by the new Municipal
Building. will probably be rooted over
and an entertainment given there daily.
II is possible that Hagenbach's Circus
will be engaged to perform throughout
the entire week.

there are many reasons why this en-
campment has peculiar significance,
and viewing the situation from a practi-
cal standpoint. J believe the greatest
| benefit will accrIe TO the city from the
numerous gatherings that will assemble
here in the fall. The merchants have
awakened at last to a realization of the
situation and are anxious to have it
known that Washington has shops and
facilities for trade that are offered in
very few other cities in the country
The impression, unfortunately, has gone
abroad that Washingtonians go else
where for their shopping. l realize that
the time is at hand when the countless
visitors can see shops as well equipped
for trade and as perfect in their ap-
pointment as those of the largest cities
in the land.

the friends of the veterans, and the al

FIRE
TEAMS
CALLED
Sharp Fight TO ExtinguiSh a
Blaze

The Salem fire department was
called to the foot of State street at
1880 O'Clock this morning to put out a
fire in the residence occupied by r. j.
Allen and family. The fire started in
a bed room where the bed clothing
accidentally became ignited, and the
blaze spread to the ceiling and had
confined itself between the ceiling and
the roof when the fire department ar
rived. Some trouble was had by the
fire fighters in extinguishing the blaze
which was not accomplished until the
entire building and the contents had
been more or less damaged by the
water.
The building is owned by A. Bush
who carried 5000 insurance policy on
the structure. No estimate is made
as to the amount Of the damage to the
house. and Mr. Allen has not estimated
the damage to his household goods.
The little son Of Mr.. Allen, who Is
just recovering from the scarlet fever
was taken from the building TO a place
Of safety, but the family fear that the
excitement Of the fire and the ex
posure to which the lad was subjected
may result in a relapse.

Political situation Today.

Unless the Furnish managers are
able to turn the tide Chamberlain will
be elected governor by all kinds Of
pluraliues.
In Marion county estimates give
Chamberlain an even thing, and some
say his majority win be considerable.
A Republican who attended the odd
Fellows grand lodge at Newport, and
talked over the situation with men
from all over the state. found them es'
timating Chamberlain's majorities in
the state at 5000 to 1000.
A Republican who marched in the
Furnish procession here last Friday
says the Chamberlain meeting won
five votes where Furnish won one.
In one Polk county precinct that has
been polled there are over 100 Cham
berlain votes and only three for Fur
nish.

More Trouble In
Justice Court

Ora Damon was arrested Wednesday
afternoon upon the complaint of her
husband, A II. Damon, who charges
her with threatening to kill. The
case was set for hearing before JUS
tice ODonald this afternoon.
Justice O'Donald dismissed the
criminal charge, upon her agreement
to leave the city and remain away
She said she would go to Brownsville
where she had relatives, and was last
seen on her way TO the depot,
The Damons have caused the police
officers and justice courts endless
trouble during the past several months
in the airing OF their domestic troub-
les, and the action OF Justice ODonald
today was fully warranted by the cir
cumstances.
