Pair Arrested at Fairmont and
Placed in Custody. Girl Slept
in Hay-moW. Is Only Sew
enteen Years Old.
Charge Against Charles White and Mrs. Smjthour
Could Not be Proven and They We're Released
From Jail. Girl Claimed That She Was
Acting in Capacity of Housekeeper.

n
Charles White, Of Gypsy, and Mrs.
Lizzie Smithour, OF Clarksburg, were
arrested In Fairmont Sunday night
about ten o'clock by Chief of Police
John s. Scott, and officer @. S. Pltzer,
A warrant against two prisoners,
bearing the charge of adultery, was
issued Monday by Justice Riley, upon
information furnished by one of the
otiicials at the Gypsy mines. Monday
morning special officers Sperry and
Hail went to Fairmont and brought
the two prisoners here for trial. They
were placed in the county jail.
Tuesday morning the case came up
Tor hearing before Justice Riley. Sew
eral witnesses were present, but as
no.one could actually prove that there
had been any wrong doing on the
part Of either the gill or White, the
case was dropped and the prisoners re-
LEASED from Jail.
The girl claimed that she was act
ing in the capacity of housekeeper for
Mr.. White. It was claimed that the
two had lived together in the same
house. but she claimed she could prove
thai they had occupied difrerentrooms,
by the 14-year-old brother. Other
similar charges regarding the case
could not be proven, and the case was
dropped.
Mrs. smithour is not bad looking
girl. Some folks have pronounced
her very pretty. She has black hair
and her dark brown eyes have great
deal of expression in them when Mr..
White is around.
Before her marriage she was Miss
Lizzie Robey, the daughter of promi
nent citizen of Century, small town
on the Grafton and Belington railroad.
on Information furnished by telephone
by the authorities at Gypsy. The
charge is that they were unlawfully
living together at the bachelor quar-
ters of White, who is a miner
The girl is, she says, but II years
old. She says she is the wife of Adam
Smithour, a saloon keeper OF ClaI ks
burg. She says they were married
4 five months ago but that they have
not been living together for five we. ks.
White and the girl were taken 10
the city lookup and White was locked
up in the cage. What to do with the
girl was the next question, and for
awhile 1t was puzzler, but the chief
settled 1t and had bed made in the
haymow. There the girl, who was ac.
companied by her II year old brother,
spent the night.
Speaking to newspaper representa-.
tive the next morning, she said:
My brother and / were going to -Fet-

PASSING OF THE STURGEON.
The Day Game When 1t No Longer
Had an OlRcial Standing
in Albany.

Time was when the sturgeon was
considered distinctively an Albany
production. says the Journal. As Bos-
ton was noted for its beans. so also
was Albany known far and wide as the
home of the sturgeon, or "Albany
beef" as it was facetiously called. The
following amusing sketch of the pass
ing of the sturgeon was printed in one
of the local papers in July, 1866:
"There was time when sturgeon
was omnipotent in our city. 1t fur
nished the shrine at which every cpl
cure kneIt, it was the god that every
stomach worshiped. 1t was divinity
whose sanctity every denizen acknowl-
edged. Its rights were omnipotent,
and no one, not even a public officer,
dared invade them. But those days
have passed. Ii hes lost it's scepter,
and there are few now so poor as to do
it reverence Yesterday sturgeon
was complained of at the police court,
or at least its owner was. 1t was al
legged that the sturgeon took up too
much of the sidewalk, and that the
owner had even the temerity to skin
it there, to the manifest annoyance
of the public. In vain did the fish
monger set up the ancient, and as he
claimed, the inalienable rights of his
fish. In vain did he offer to show it's
historical record of sovereignty, and
now that once our worthy corporation
had sent deputation down the river
to see monstrous specimen that lad
been caught, and to bestow a reward
for catching it. All these offers were
of no avail The obdurate court de-
cided that sturgeon had ceased to have
any more rights than other fish, and
that hereafter it must not cucumber
the ground. With this annunciation
and judicial threats, the defendant
was let off, and fine was RENTED upon
his promise to skin his sturgeon within
h;s hOuse"

Birds on women's Hats.

The Society for the Protection Of
Birds in London has been making q
seemingly successful campaign against
the wearing of egret feathers by fash
ionable women on their hats, and has
been inclined to congratulate itself on
the result. So-called artificial
aigrettes. warranted artificial" were
sold at the shops instead of the real
ones. The society bought a lot of
these, had them examined by experts
and was amazed to find that they were
all genuine feathers of the white egret.
In six months time 10000 of them had
been imported. The only way to stop
such cruelty, these birds having all
been killed in the breeding season, il
to induce women not to wear the feath-
ers. The campaign carried on against
the use of feathers and stuffed birds
on hats has not been very successful.

THE MAGAZINE MAN.
Peculiar Type OF AAerican,P ortrayea
by Artists, Has No Existence
In Fact.

Before myth passes into parable
and the parable becomes history, we
wish to enter our protest against the
American man of the magazines, the
cartoons and the tailors' posters. We
say the American nan, for, although
there are any number of American
men in reality, there is only one Amer
lean man in the periodicals and fiction
books of the time, says the New York
Mail and Express. He is the long
legged, broad-shouldered, square
featured, phlegmatic-faced young man
of two or three and twenty whom sew
eral certain popular artists and host
Of imitators have been drawing for
Is years or more.
This particular type of young man
has no existence in fact, and as piece
of fiction he is subtle but sweeping
libel on all American men. He is SO
supremely uninteresting, SO hopeless
ly stupid, SO painfully self-conscious
and so Internally vain that his pic
tured likeness is enough to stamp the
fashionable circle which he adorns as
vertically ''le monde ou lon s'ennuie."
He is prettier than we Americans of
real life, but then some of the rest
of us claim for ourselves vivacity, in
telligence to the verge of shrewdness,
some sense Of humor, some perception
that "there are Others" In these re-.
spects the rest of us differ-and thank
God therefor-from this boxine, phleg-
matte, altogether insufferable lay fig
ure in evening clothes.
What the object of the school Of
artists is, is obvious. They have tried
to draw a Greek god in trousers; they
have given us a stevedore in spiketails.
This young man you would never inn
agine in any scene requiring fire, pas
sion, initiative. His countenance be-
trays the fact that he tries to think,
but gives it up. There is no evidence
Of interest in external things in it; it
might be called retrospective, save that
clearly there is nothing inside worth
looking at. Intellectually the young
man is pathetically inarticulate. He
is coal HEAVIER with the correct man
ner. Such q man men dodge instinc-
lively and women find impossible.
He is socially helpless.
The paradoxical thing about the
American man of the magazines is
that, with all his thews and sinews,
there is something feminine about
him. He is not mans man; he does
not enjoy Kipling. A sarcastic Eng
lishman has pretended to discover that
in America as the girls are growing
boyish the men are growing girlish.
Unquestionably this is generaliza-
ton from the magazines. The Amer
lean they picture is a sublimated man
mililner with pink shirt waist and dec
orative socks.

CHICKEN FISHING.
Done by Men with LOnG-Handled Nets
In New York Market
streets.

One of the sights at the Gansevoort
street chicken market is the chicken
fishers. They are men armed with
nets similar to those used to catch
butterflies, who are kept busy catch
ing lively chickens which escape from
the marketlnen, says the New York
Sun.
The chickens are brought to the
market in big crates and there trans
ferred into smaller crates to be sold
conveniently to the retailers. In
making the transfer many of them
manage to get away from the mar
ketmen and fly into the streets.
At this juncture man with net
attached to long pole makes his ap-
pearance. To see him stroll along
the street with the pole resting on
his shoulder the stranger is likely to
ask him whether he's going crab
bling.
The net is deep affair. and so is
the man who carries it. He seldom
answers questions. He patrols the
street as solemnly as if he was
marine doing sentinel duty. Turning
swiftly, as if on pivot, he swings his
pole across the roadway, capturing
an escaping rooster and getting his
net back ON his shoulder in quicker
time than it takes to tell it.
With the rooster struggling in the
net the chicken fisherman solemnly
marches back to the commission
house from which Mr.. Roster es-
capped. He dumps the rooster into
the crate, Stat is nailed over the
crate, and the chicken fisherman gets
back to the street in time to make
another catch, probably an old hen
that has flown from an adjoining
establishment.
All day long he works, while crowds
stand there enjoying the dexter1ty
with which he plies his trade. To
many it reminds them of scenes they
witnessed on the western ranches OF
lasso throwing by cowboys. The fish
erman never misses, and when he
swings his pole it is all over except
the shouting that IS done by the cap
tive.
