HAND MADE PHILOSOPHY.

A Missouri legislator has introduced a resolution in the senate of that state providing that all foreign noblemen and lords found running at large shall be branded for purposes of identifica- tion.
 It is hard to understand why some people are so prejudiced against for eign noblemen. There are individuals who carry their dislike to such an eX- tent that they will run three blocks, knocking men, women and children out of the way, in order to gaze upon Ia duke or an earl.
 There are others who will angrily take out their purses and pay three ignOble dollars Gwelve shillings) for the opportunity to see a bankrupt ford try to act on the stage.
 There are still others who will stand in line at the theater so that they may get a seat from which to witness the caperings of the divorced wife of a for eign grandee.
 Oh, it is fierce, the extent to which this national dislike and detestation of belted earls. and unbelted, and ought to be belted noblemen is car ried,
 Many sturdy sons of America are still nursing rheumatism contracted when they stood in the rain to see Prince Henry ride past. They simply had such q great aversion to royalty that they wasted a whole day in the hope they might have a glimpse of him.
 The Missouri law might be bettered if it had an amendment providing for the branding of people who make silly fools of themselves by pestering these peaceful sciOns of nobility with their curiosity.
 Or maybe it is intended that the Missouri father who is asked for his daughters hand shall have the oppor- tunity to make use of that historic ex- pression:

TEN YEARS IN PRISON.
John Johnson Sentenced for Robbery at
Chesapeake Junction.

John Johnson, better known In local po-
lice circles as "Bigfoot' Johnson, was SEN
fenced TO ten years in the Maryland penl-
tertiary by Judge Merrick at Upper MARI
boro' yesterday. He was convicted OF
charge of having robbed William d. kogel
at a Chesapeake Junction resort two
months ago. Members of Capt. Boardman's
staff of headquarters detectives felt some
what relieved this morning when they
learned of the sentence that had been i'm
posed.
Johnson was born in Baltimore, but came
here when he was young boy, and mas
been far from being a law-abfding citizen.
His name has been associated with many
cases in which knockout drops were sup
posed to have been administered. He has
been arrested in this city number Of
times. charged with assaults, thefts and
murder. He once killed a colOred man
named Johnson. and was given peniten-
tiary sentence. 1t is stated that he was re-
leased from prison through the influence
of Benjamin Butler. He was arrested in
this city a number of years ago by Detec-
tive Weldon and taken to Baltimore to
answer a charge of robbery. Five years
Imprisonment was the sentence imposed
upon him on that occasion.
After working in this city and Baltimore,
and after he had served a number of
prison sentences. he found his way to
Chesapeake Junction and worked in one of
the resorts there. Then came his most re-
cent trouble. Kogel the victim. who was
visitor at the junction, claimed he had
been robbed. 1t was his idea that he had
been drugged by Johnson. He took only
two glasses Of beer, he claimed, and then
fell asleep; His arrest was requested by
Constable Suit. and Just one week ago he
was taken into custody on Pennsylvania
avenue by Detectives Parham, Flather and
Hartigan. =
Constable Suit conveyed him to Marl-
boro'. and he will now live in his native
city under restraint.
