ed Beniamin Bradford, = colored laborer,
from standing trial or being punished BY
tho law In Magistrate Riley's court Tues
day afternoon on the charge OF assault
and battery.
Bradford was arrested Monday night
near the Baltimore 4 Ohio passenger de-
pot IN Glen Elk by City Policemen Harry
and Richard Brooks. Bradford was drunk
and the cops took him to the city cooler
10 sober up.
1 It appears that an italian laborer by
the name of Andy Pruss, working at the
Rosemont coal mine, was held up and as
saulted by a colored man ct Adamston
ON the night of September %. Andy was
in the city Monday evening, and he saw
Bradford. He thought he recognized
him, as well as did his companion, who
was with him, and they hustled over to
Magistrate Riley's court Tuesday morn
ing and got out a warrant for the man
ON the charge of assault and battery.
The police turned Bradford over to the
county authorities when they learned
that he was wanted by the constable,
and ne was placed in the county jail. His
hearing was arranged for later and it
was held Mt 8 o'clock in the afternoon.
Upon being questioned about the
charge. Bradford claimed that he was in
nocent and that he was not even in that
section of the country ON that day. He
said ne was at Frametown, Braxton
county, doing some work on the COM
struction of railroad track. The mag
istrate asked tisradford If he could prove
the tact, and the colored man, after
thinking while, suddenly remembered
that he had received a registered letter
through the mail at Frametown, along
about that time. The letter had been
sent to a friend of his in Baltimore, but
it had been returned undelivered. He
produced the latter, and to his surprise,
as well as of the others in the case, the
registry receipt, which he had signed for
the letter, showed that he was in Frame-
town ON the very day he was charged
with assauiting the foreigner at Adams
ton. The registry receipt for the let
ter, IN Bradford's own handwriting, as
well As the letter, proved complete
abb, and the colored man was discharg-
ed from custody at once.
The abb was proved before the for
eigner, who could not speak English and
had to have Ignatius Edinger, the inter
prefer, to talk for him, could tell The
court whether be recognized the man rs
his assailant or not.

the feeble power of five volts was used
messages were repeatedly and success

there also. AS Louis dislikes multi

Of the imperial antechamber The fol-
lowing conversation ensued.
You can't go any further. This en-
trance is reserved for members of the
imperial family only"

The lieutenant put his hand to his
forehead to indicate that the stranger
was not in full possession of his senses.
IF you are his imperial highness T

BRIDGE WHIST EVIL.
Startling Comment on Its Demoral
ling Effect.

London, Feb. 9.-There have been SO
many scandals in society this winter,
due to excessive indulgence in bridge
whist that several notables are organ
izing a crusade against, the seductive
game.
Many Mayfair clergymen have recent
" commented on the moral and social
harm caused by bridge whist, especially
the generation Of the spirit of gambling
among society women Fashionable
clubs are full of gossip about the heavy
sums won and lost by youths and WO-
men at bridge whist parties at country
houses. G. w e. Russell, son of the
Duke Of Bedford, a notable society man,
denOunces the evils of bridge whist He
said in an interview that many young
officers and young daughters of We'll to
do parents lose more money than they
can afford.
4 have ample reason to believe it is
impossible to exaggerate the influence
that bridge is exercising upon the cir
cles that play it. The game is trans
forming the social life of society; it has
carried the gambling spirit into the
drawing rooms of the country houses
and has destroyed the health giving
games formerly INDUCED in, such as
golf1ng and cycling. End of the week
visits to the country now resolve them
selves into orgies of bridge. 1t is played
all day and all night, and not infre-
Quently until or 8 a. m. " hereaS these
people once made an appearance at
least of observing Sunday, the day is
now devoted to bridge Men and women
who conscientiously object to gambling
are not invited. There is plenty of evil
dence that gambling is vastly on the
increase among the women of our best
society.
Bridge whist Is not a game OF chance,
but a game of skill, and the more ex-
pert it is played the more he OF she
wins. I suspect that more than one per-
son moving in the best circles is living
upon his winnings at bridge. The least
critical among US must admit that this
is a very undesirable state of affairs
Society is not what it was since bridge
became a craze, and it never Will be
again until the more Objectionable fea-
lures Of the game are abolished.n
