JUSTICE QUEERLY DISPENSED.
English Magistrate Encourages the
Belief That MalefactOrs Would
Better BE Drunk.

Being under the influence of drink is
committed crime, but it would seem
that one magistrate is inclined to be
an exception to his brothers on the bench
IN this direction, says Cassell's Journal.
Recently a justice of the peace had
two young men before him on charge
of theft. They pleaded guilty, and as
this obviated the necessity for evidence
what in the dark as to their culpabil-
ity.
"Well, sir" he said, addressing one
Of the prisoners, 'have you anything to
say in extenuation of your offense?"
The prisoner hung his head, and re-
piled meekly:
Your worship, 1 was drunk when
did it,"
Drunk" exclaimed the magistrate;
shat makes the offense all the worse.
You will go to prison for three months
And you. sir" he continued, addressing
the other prisoner, what have you to
say for yourself?"
Nothing. your honor?" was the re-
ply.
"Were you drunk?" pursued the JUS
tice.
mo, your honor; was never drunk in
my life."
Indeed" exclaimed the magistrate,
raising his eyebrows in affected aston
ishment. Have you not even that ex-
cuse? Then you will go to prison for
six months!"

CHAMELEONS IN BATHING.
New Fad Which Summer Girls at At
lantic City Have Made
Much of.

Taking chameleons in to bathe is a
new fad which Atlantic City has devel-
oped, says recent report.
Scores of girls have adopted it.
The scheme was worked by girl who
owned a chameleon that had grown lazy.
She tried various ways of arousing it
from it's stupor, and at last hit upon the
idea of taking it for romp in the surf.
She was rewarded with an instanta-
neous change in the little lizards de-
meanor Just as soon as it heard the
roll of the first breaker its skin went
through a whirl of color changes. And
when she gave it ducking it produced
a new shade of pink verging into yell
low and green that she never knew it pos
sessed.
Little time was lost in making known
the discovery to others through the re-
sort, and girls who had no chameleons
bought them right off to see the oceans
effect on them.
"Oh, girls" cried one, as she held out
her chameleon for inspection. some wa
ter splashed into his eyes, and he looks
like a box of paint. / wonder If the
dear things angry?"

down and wept, and Murphy also.
When the three were more composed
and Murphy had heard all particulars
they went down into the parlor, and he
was solemnly entertained at tea, his
plate being tcarfully heaped with deli
cacies over which he choked politely
in an effort at impossible relish. After
this they talked business, and very as
founding business it was. 1t appeared
that Parr, with little assistance from
"a gentleman he knowed," had pro-
cured money to pay Murphy's passage,
should he fall in with the plan, to
America, to a brother of Mrs. Parr,
who ardently desired Murphy's services

dull, staring gratitude dawning in his
eyes, and. waving a hand toward the

Then Mrs. Parr was reminded Of
something else. She went upstairs and
presently returned. bearing small col

"Faysie wanted you to have this to

Murphy did not rise to eminence in
the land of his adoption, but he earned
competence and wrote home respect

By and by there came another little
blue eyed maid to sit on PARIS knee

looked and it has become a question of margin only whether accounts can be carried through or not. It seems to us that some of the better class of securi- ties are approaching a bargain point and we have no doubt that before long they will find support from investment purchasers. Among important financial people the opinion holds to-day that if this day passes without failures or ser- iors trouble the market will have a quick and sharp recovery. Renewals of call money 21 per cent.
 Wheat has not fluctuated much in price. There is, however more interest taken in the cereal on the long side, not because of doubts as to small yield, but because of belief that foreigners will need most of our over-supply at present prices.
 Cotton has been vacillating in price but the undertone remains a good one and the chances are that all options this side of October will go very much high CT. The failures announced during the closing hours were in certain circles looked forward to. We think, as we said before, that the atmosphere will be cleared hereafter and even the proper ties in which the firms were most large ly interested will do better. The under lying condition of affairs was strong with prices recovering from 1 to ? per cent. after the failures were announced.

ket operations which he has conducted. The market management of the United States Steel stocks during the period of their flotation and the conduct of pool in Southern Pacific stock will be looked upon as having been an outcome of the failure. The Southern Pacific pool was credited with holding at one time some 300,0 shares of Southern Pacific stock, and it's challenge of the control of the Union Pacific party in the property nda it's attempt to force the payment of dividends on the stock are matters of recent notoriety and with the sequel still pending in the courts. Aside from the expectation of the failures the reali- zation of the fears and the revulsion of feeling reflected in the rush of the shorts to cover with the bad news out there were no influences perceptible in the market. News of cooler weather in the corn belt counteracted the effect of yesterdays reports of hot winds and the liquidation in progress in the days cotton market was viewed with satis- faction. The weeks movement of cur reney indicates cash gain by the local banks of upward of $e,0O0 900, and news was received of the, shipment of another $1,250,000 from Australia to San Fran cisco. The description of the market revolves itself into a list of price changes. Rumors were numerous all day of financial endorsements, and the field of these rumors was by no means confined to the stock exchange or to New York. but ranged the country oyer. The heavy selling of Amalgamat- ed Copper was accompanied by very specific rumors of money troubles which were not substantiated.
 Bonds were weak in sympathy with stocks. Total sales par value sS,5s5, 900. United States bonds were unchanged on call. s'-' ''
