The Funniest Thing.

We still think that the funniest
thing before the American public
Is the candidacy OF William RAN
dolph Hearst for president, says
the Atchison Globe.
Mr.. Hearst is n young man OF
immense wealth inherited from
his father, who made It In ways
not entirely crcditoblc. MIR. Hearst
runs three newspapers, for fun.
He has hired the best IL wspaper
talent obtainablc, and his news
papers are good ones. But none
of the credit IL due Hearst, who
spends his time In going To Europe
and in playing golf. The Hearst
papers are managed, printed and
edited by the clcvcrcst lot Of ncws-
paper men in the country. They
are testing the power of the press,
and enjoying II. They are advo-
eating Reform, and abusing the
rich. No papers in the country
arc more unfair with the rich than
the Hcnrst papers, although Hearst
himself is very rich. lIcarst's
smart young mon are now running
Hearst for president, on a Labor
issue. Hearst never worked n
doy In his life, but there In u pos
sibility that this butterfly. this
Dives, may become president ON
the Labor Issue. The people ms
n rule, don't know. don't care. II
would Ice Joke to elect Hearst,
they say, aud thousands of them
are earnestly In favor OF n Joke.
The Hearst boom IL n Joke now,
but In n few months II may become
the most vital thing In politics.
Hearst may be elected, and we
may all he called upon to accept
him as u statesman. We may he
called upon TO submit To the Jokes
OF MS wife aud children, and take
mn Interest in their doings. Hearst
has no war record, but his young
men will invent one for him, and
the people will call him "thc Hero
of Santiago" although the rec
ords may show that Colonel Hearst
was not at the battle OF Santifugo.
General Hearst will in time bc nc
ccptcd by the people ~ having
been divincly sent To save the
country, and then, when he dies.
che people will be told they are
stingy and unapprccintivc pigs
unless they subscribe money with
which To- build II monument TO his
memory.

Judge Horton, OF Chicago, Prosi-
dent James of Northwestern uni

Of West Virginia.
The latter declares. In nm inter-
view published In a late issue Of
the Northwestern Christian Advo-
cate, that the church should raise
$4,000, 900 to provide for its veteran
preacher.
"If the matter were taken In hand
by the bishops and a determined
effort made, I believe n fund
amountingt to scvaral million dol
lars could be secured for the pur-
pose, and ! believe II ought to be
DONE" he said. II our southern
Methodist brethren can raise 3d.

amply able to double that sum.
We have no bishop on our cpisco-
pal board equal to Bishop McCabe

which the flames originated, was seen 10

The entire town was aroused about

cries of fire. When the villagers
FASTENED TO the scene the flames were in
possession of the Forristall block. 1t is
supposed they were caused by the over

tho Case Of Ennis VS..

Three motions have been filed by John
w. Hogan and Stephen ]. Casey. coun-
sci for the plaintiff In the case OF Agatha
NJ. Ennis vs r. b. Little and company
Mrs. Ennis was given a verdict by jury
for $500 for the death OF her husband
who was killed at the defendants coal
storing plant.
The appellate division OF the supreme
court set this verdict aside, declaring
there was no evidence OF any negligence
on the part OF the defendant. There was
much discussion over the action of the
court and I'm this case as In some others.
in which the appellate court has set aside
verdicts OF jury's recently, there has
been a difference of opinion amongst
members OF the bar as to the right of
the court to enter judgment for the de-
PENDANTS.
One OF the motions flied is for a rear
gument and is OF much the same nature
as a motion made I'm the case of Gallow-
shaw VS.. the Lonsdale company. A sec
ond motion Ia addressed to all the
judges OF the supreme court and asks
that the action Of the appellate court or
dering Judgment for the defendants TO be
entered In the common pleas division he
declared null and void. The third motion
is just one asking that the action OF the
appellate court in the matter be declared
void
The reasons stated for a re-argument
are: That certain parts of the evidence
have been misunderstood and miscon-
strued and erroneous deductions n/de
therefrom. and that certain important evil
dence has been overlooked and disre-
garded; that the order TO enter judgment
claimed to be given by General Laws.

authority given by the statute and the

sion be construed to give authority 10

DECISION WITHHELD.
Mr.. Martins Right 10 His Child Seriously
Challenged.

Judge Blodgett has not yet reached
conclusion on the merits OF Bernard Mar
tins petition for writ of habeas corpus
to secure the custody of his nipe-year- old
daughter Elizabeth. His honor after
hearing a good deal OF testimony, which
was somewhat conflicting, asked counsel
to file briefs.
The child is in the custody OF George
III. Hill OF North Providence, and he was
notified yesterday TO have the child in
court on Friday. Judge Blodgett will
then announce his decision.
Martin was In the hospital suffering
from a broken leg and his child was taken
from the place he left IL 10 Hills home.
When Martin came out OF the hospital
and wanted the child Hill, who is mar
ried to a sister OF Mrs. Martin. refused
the child to the father. Hence the court
proceedings.
Mr.. and Mrs Martin separated a couple
OF years ago. This separation is the
main cause OF the present trouble, as Mrs.
Martin wants the child left with Hill.

Asks for Divorce.

Newark, ~. J.. July 2e.-Mrs. Eva May
pers in the court OF chancery for di-
vorce from her husband Lee A. Hervey.
The defendant is also a resident of New
ark. but has not been seen there for
some time. He is believed to be some
where in the West. Notice OF the suit is
being served upon him by publication.
The divorce is the sequel Of a marriage
that took place in Newark two weeks af-
ter Hervey was discharged from a hospi-
tal where he had spent several months
as the result OF injuries received in a
trolley accident. The marriage was soon
followed by proceedings brought by Mrs.
Hervey for alimony. II was then disclos-
al that Hervey and his wife had separat-
ed at the church door after they had been
married in the house OF prayer in Decem-
Der, 1897.
Hervey had at the time Of his mar
riaRe $4,000 paid TO him by the railroad
company az compensation for his injuries.
With part OF this money he started In
the real estate business His partner was
Charles l.. Roller, who afterward pur-
sued n sensational career Of orime, which
'he ended several months ago by killing
himself i'm n Montreal hotel.
Mrs. Herveys suit for alimony fell
through because Hervey proved too elu-
sive for the court officers and had trans
ferred all his property TO his father. Her
vey remained away from Newark after
that suit. and during the Spanish -Ameri-
can war a story reached his friends that
he had been wounded I'm the charge Of San
Juan Hill.
Mrs. Hervey's maiden name was Eva
May Shelgrove. She belongs to a family
well known and highly respected In Nsw-
ark The ground for her present action
is desertion.
