New York, Oct. PA strong point
was scored by the defense in the trial
IF Roland B. Molineux yesterday
when Justice Lambert ruled out the
Barnet letters. Justice Lambert de-
cided that as evidence the letters

that he was willing to admit them
simply as a standard of comparison

The counsel for the defense were
highly pleased with this decision,
which held that the testimony rela.

Oklahoma Amenities.

From the Cincinnati Enquirer.
George Peck returned home the other day
from Oklahoma territory, where he had
journeyed to sell a few furnaces and other
things. He relates an incident of the
woolly west that is characteristic and quite
Oklahomesque.
Mr. Peck is nothing If not diplomatic, and
when he found that the president of the
school board in this territorial city was
also the owner of a hotel he decided to stop
at his hostery.
For why? Because he wanted to get his
furnaces into the school buildings In the
place. and-well, that's another story
Mr.. Peck found the hotel keeper to be a
whole-souled, jolly fellow, and there's no.
body any more jovial than Peck himself
They visited the schools, the president of
the board first putting on long-tailed coat.

THEIR SCHEME FAILED.
A Rather Ingenious Trick to Get the
Better of a Pawnbroker.

FROM the napOllS journal.
A pair of trousers, a pawnbroker and two
moneyless youths were the central factors
in clever swindle uncovered by the police
yesterday. Herbert Poor and Edward Ed
| munds are in jail awaiting an opportunity
to tell their stories to Judge Stubs.
d. Shalansky owns, pawnshop at 439
East Washington street Yesterday after
neon Poor walked in Shalansky's and said
that his name fitted his condition. He Of
fered pair of trousers for pawn. Shalans-
ky gave him fifty cents on them. Just as
Poor was closing the deal with Shalansky
Edmunds entered. Something drew him to-
ward those trousers He picked them up,
examined them, and then declared that the
pawned trousers belonged to him.
Not on your life do they belong to you"
said the indignant Poor.
We'll, they just do
DO you say stole them?"
No. don't say you stole them, but 1 say
they belong to me-
Then the Hebrew began walking the floor
and begging that the gentlemen maintain
peace. He offered to let Poor have the trou-

Poor refused to return the 80 cents.
We'll, I'll tell you what let's do to settle
the dispute" suggested Edmunds, with olive
branch cieverness. Let Mr.. Shalansky
give me 80 cents and well call the pawn
legitimate. Then l can settle it later on
with you" added Edmunds, turning to Poor
Poor was agreeable, but the Hebrew was

AMERICAN WINE.
Brought Into Disrepute by Bad Bust
ness Ways.

From the Brooklyn Eagle.
1t Is a fatal tendency of the American
people to overdo. Every good thing is
worked to it's death. 1t is a good thing
to have paper, for example. but it is
better to limit the supply to the old
fashioned product of rags than to do as
the makers are now doing; strip our hills
of their forests and dry the rivers at
their sources. 1t is a good thing to earn
money, but because the way seems clear
to do 1t Is no reason why the maker
should ride rough shod over the rights
and decencies and commit robbery as
dealers in some of the food products are
now doing. And familiar result of greed
is seen in the injury which has been done
to American wine by watering, sophisti-
eating and exorbitant charging.
Twenty years ago there was a promise
that America would be one of the great
wine growing countries of the world, as
1t could be- ought to be and will be. Amer
lean wines were pure and abundant. We
have mechanical appliances that enable the
makers to crush grapes at the rate of a
ton in i've minutes, and there is abundant
space for growing and fermenttng. Labor
Is reasonable In the vineyard districts
there Is soil for every kind of grape the
sun shines nearly all the time in Califor-
mia, the phylloxera has never gained a
hold and there was no seeming reason why
the American people should not drink the
product of their own grapes. They will
do so yet, but at present very few buy
American wine. at least knowingly.

COUNTING A BOYS WORDS
Vocabulary of Children Greater Than
Was Believed

From the Chicago Iter-Ocean.
Max Muller in his Science of Langua ge
referred to English laborers who had not
more than 300 words in their vocabulary
The correctness of this statement is dis.
puted by the Popular Science Monthly for
May. M. {. and H. Gale of the University
OF Minnesota. having made a close study of
the question, report that all such generali-
cations or estimates are misleading, and
that the average child two and a half
years old uses in one day from six to eight
hundred differnt words
1t is not burning question, and most peo-
pie may not care how many words child
uses in day, but Mrs. Gale did and she
made an actual count of words used by a
boy and girl. The boy, aged two and a
half years used ISL different words in a
day and made a record for the day of 9, 800
words. A girl of the same age used G2g
different words in a day and made a rec
ord of 1892 words for the day
OF the 751 words used by the boy 800
were nouns, 1S3 verbs, 50 abjectives, AZ ad-
verbs, intersections. q pronouAs, p prep
ositions, and IA articles and conjunctions,
and of all the different words Ga per cent
