A PLEA FOR JUSTICE.

The Louisville Herald Of yesterday
contains an appeal to the people of
Kentucky for funds with which to de-
fsnd Caleb Powers and Jim Howard,
signed by some of Louisville's most
prominent men. The Herald says
editorially:
"Another call is made upon lovers
Of justice and fair play to contribute
funds for the defense of Caleb Powers
and Jim Howard. The re-trial Of both
prisoners is approaching, and they are
wholly without funds to employ coun-
sci, procure witnesses or meet the
costs Of court records necessary to pro-
tect them in the fight for life.
"These appeals have been made be-
fore, and the public has responded lib.
orally, but funds are nevertheless as
urgently needed now as ever before
in the interest of fair trial and the
protection Of these men against the
influences Of political passion. s-s
1--WE publish elsewhere an appeal
signed by number of the most prom
inent and peace-loving citizens OF
Louisville, asking for contributions to
the defense, merely in order that the
accused may have the benefit OF the
utmost chance to lay their defense be-
fore the court. They do not contend
that Powers and Howard are either
guilty or innocent. They do reccg.
nize, however, that political exotic
ment has so enveioped the cases that
they have not yet been proven guilty

il intended to build the cutoff. 1t

built, we could not suthoritatively
state what it was to be built for. The
Illinois Central has right TO survey

Itseems that the city authorities
have at last found out that the custom
of washing the brick streets with a
stream Of water forced from section
of hose is unsatisfactory and does
more harm than good. 1t leaves the

lthe disagreesble features were point

just found out how bad it is. Any
merchant along Broadway could have

such diminutive and youthful callers,

Their father Is George Hammond,
OF the North Side, who on February
16 was arrested on a charge of carry
ing concealed a pistol and fined s25
and sentenced to 10 days in jail. He
today finished serving his Jail sentence
and his two little sons, who have been
without anyone to look after them ex-
cept friends since their fathers in car
ceration, decided to make a personal
plea TO extricate their father. Judge
Sanders states they did it quite man
fully.
He investigated the case and learn

sort Of fellow except when drinking,
and decided to suspend the fine against
him, which he did. Hammond was
released and left for home, accompanied
by his sons.

1t Is Somewhat Better Understood by
Psychologists.

Psychologists.
"Sleepwalking is somewhat better
understood now than formerly, but
psychologists are not thoroughly
agreed in regard to many of its
phases observed a well-known physi-
clan to a Star reporter. One of the
recent cases, that CT a young man out
West walking ten miles to visit his
father, and of an even more recent
case, that of young lady walking
three miles on cold night in her
night gown. without awakening, upsets
many of the previously accepted theo-
ries. 1t has been thought that ex-
posure to intense cold as well as in
tense heat would awaken the sleep
walker, but in these cases. which are
well authenticated, it appears that this
opinion, while correct possibly in the
main, is not always so. In my early
days when attending lectures at
medical college in Baltimore, l. with
some other medical students. witnessed
one of the famous sleepwalking cases
that is quoted in many of the stand
ard books. One night we We're passing
along Lexington street, where the Lex
ington street market is located. One
of our party called attention to NOV
ing figure clad in white on the roof of
the market building. 1t proved to be
that of a girl about seventeen years
of age. She had lost a canary bird
the afternoon before, which was last
seen on the caves of the roof of the
market house. Darkness came on.
however, before a thorough search for
the bird could be made, and it was
given up. The girl went to bed and
during the night left her bed and re-
turned to the market house and
climbed to its roof. This i'll itself was
not a very difficult task, for there
was a series of sheds leading to it.
She walked the entire length of one
side of the market along the extreme
edge of the roof At every step it
seemed she would step over the edge
and had she done so she would likely
have been killed Our party divided
up, and one. now the leading physi-
clan of Charleston, S. c.. climbed to
the roof and seized the girl. She woke
the instant he touched her. and it was
with the greatest difficulty that he
could keep her from falling, for while
in her sleep she appeared to be an
expert she was n very poor climber
when awake. 1t was clear case OF
sleepwalking, and had she gone ten
feet further she would have found the
bird, which has roasted for the night
in the rain gutter which ran along the
roof. and where it was found few
minutes afterward. Sleepwalking is
much more frequent than is generally
understood, though as a rule it is con-
fined to children. 1 lave known of

TRAGEDY OF A SPONGE.
TIL. YearninEs of Small Boy Were
RudeIy Suppressed.

Rudely Suppressed.
There's more romance about a sponge
than the ordinary prosaic lover of tub
bine imagines. Perhaps that is the
reason why many a small boys darling
ambition is to own a bath sponge as
big as his fathers. He may catch a
hint of crystal waters and blue sky
and dusky natives and palm groves
and strange lands in the dead and
dried sponge. Like it he certainly does
a well-known New York publisher
says that one of the tragedies of his
life hinged upon this boyish passion for
sponges. His father had a beautiful
big Mediterranean sponge, and it hung
upon a nail in the bathroom, where *
reused the son and heir, aged six, to
mad covetousness All the ordinary
boyish ambitions paled before his long
ing for such a sponge. He didn't want
TO grow up to be a pirate or own a
candy store or fight Indians. He
yearned for maturity only in order that
he might have a NJ -diterranean sponge
as big as a porridge bowl.
One day he found ten cents. His
father didn't believe in pocket money
and cents were scarce with him. but
whole dimel He retired in the wood
shed to think. One could do almost
anything with dime, but the vital
burning problem to be solved was what
would be the very best way of spend
ing the unexpected wealth. 1t didn't
take him long to decide. He would buy
n sponge as big as his fathers, bigger.
perhaps. In fact, he would buy the
biggest one the drug store had il il
took the last cent of his capital to do it
So he walked proudly down the stree,
and entered the drug store with a
swagger. There was glass case full
of sponges. He picked out the largest.
and standing on tiptoe so that the clerk
could see him over the counter, he said
with dignity:
How much>is that sponge?"
Three dollars and half" said the
clerk, politely.
The young Croesus blinked hastily
and swallowed violently. This world
had been toppled about his ears, but
he was game. BY a heroic effort he
regained his breath and his voice.
Il I'm take a chocolate soda
please" he said, quite firmly, and
watched with dry eyes while his ten
cents disappeared in the cash drawer

Snccess I'm Law.

No lawyer is good for much unless
he has belligerent nerve; he must be
ready for good fighting when a fight is
required. But in this modern age the
diplomacy of peace is even more need
full in his equipment. Where he fights
once, he operates for peace twenty
times. His wrangles are in the public
eye. but his peace making. which is the
bulk of his business. is done in his
quiet office behind closed doors. No
other profession demands such a
knowledge of human nature; human
wisdom is even more imperative
need to n lawyer than learning in the
law. No other profession touches so
many human chords; none other is
such an exact expression of human ma

LonEfeiIow and Holmes.

One afternoon, in the years of which
l am writing. 1 CHANGED to call upon
Mr.. Longfellow just after he had re-
celved visit from DR.. Holmes.
What a delightful man he isl" said
he. But he has left me, as he gener-
ally does, with headache" When L
inquired the cause, he replied: THE
movement of his mind is so much
more rapid than mine, that often find
it difficult to follow him. and If I keep
up the strain for a length of time. n
headache is the penalty"
Every one who knew the Autocrat
must have been impressed by this trait
ascribed to him by Longfellow-the ex-
traordinary rapidity of his mental pro-
cesses. Not that he talked fast, but
that his turns of thought were sur
prisingly bright and quick, and often
made with n kind of scientific pre-
cision. agreeably in contrast with the
looseness of statement commonly char
acterizing those who speak volubly and
think fast.-J. 7. Trowbridge, in the
Atlantic. ,,sio,,..
