A wITNEss HAs RleHrs.

A physician who was giving expert
testimony in the Bechtel murder case
at Allentown yesterday was insulted
and bullyragged by one Of the attor-
neys until Il grew intolerable. and
then he calmly told the court that il
he were not protected he should refuse
TO testify further. The court then ad-
monished the lawyer and the testimony
continued.
But why did the presiding judge
have TO be reminded of his duty? Was
he asleep or Indifferent? A witness is
not usually familiar with the atmos-
phere OF the courts: he feels embar-
rassed. In nine cases out Of ten his
only desire is to tell the truth and get
out Then when his simplest state
ment is twisted and distorted. when
he becomes a subject for low jest and
innuendo. he conceives contempt for
courts of justice. If he answers back
he is reprimanded; he must submit to
be bullyragged and frequently to hav-
ing his plain testimony twisted all out
OF scmblance 10 that which he intend
ed.
1t is true that the hest lawyers do
not engage in this pastime. but the
offenders are so numerous as to need
constant rcbuke. A witness has a
right TO look to the court for protec-
tion. and if necessary TO demand it,
and the judge who VIII allow a wit
ness 10 be embarrassed and humni-
ated when there is an evident desir,
to tell truthful story has a low con.
ception OF the part testimony should
play ia the trial Of cases.

I WHlSTLER'S ODD FATE.
How He Finally Showed the Merciiess
Critics That He Was an Artist

London, Jan 1.-THE Spectator says.
What wonder that Whistler. gifted not
only with the power TO see what dulleT
sight could not see. but with the genius
to place on canvas what he saw; burn
ing with fire which he knew to be the
clear fame OF inspiration, yet which his
critics would regard as nothing more
than the tricx-explosion of the cheap con
jurer; endowed also. as he was. with a
tongue and pen which enabled him TO
flick the silken lash or satire as to cut
the toughest hide. and able with a most
merciless rapier to pierce the joints of
seemingly impe1etrable armor-what won

STORY OF FROST FAIRIES.
London Spectator Tells of the Many
Pretty Designs.

London. Jan. 16.--The Spectator says:
When the frost fairies have material
ready for original design, they often pro-
duce in the hours of darkness most ex-
quisite decorations, suitable for the walls
panes are their drawing paper, and the
window frames serve as picture frames
on those particular occasions. There are
said to be no less than thousand forms
of snow crystals. every one of them of the
finest finish. and Of unfmpeacnable SYM
metry. Some are like the patterns in
Honiton lace while others are elaborat ted
with geometricn patterns so complex
that il is difficult TO analyze them But
on the windowpanes the frost pictures
are by no means confined TO what are
standard patterns" in snow flakes (for

BLAKE on CHINESE
How Sir Henry Tried to Clean
Up Hong Kong.
BLACkMAIL WAS RESULT
Bounty for Rats Leads to
Dangerously Vain Tricks.

Hong Kong, Jan. 1S.-For WAYS that
are dark and tricks that are vain. the
heather Chinee is PECULIAR. Sir Henry
Blake, the English governor of Hong
Kong has been finding this ont for him
self lately. Some time ago he thought II
would be a good idea TO interest the Chi
nese in the work of sanitation. Plague
has been rife in the native city for ten
years. and cleanliness is the only cure for
it. But the Chinese would rather die
than have their homes disinfected. SO Sir
Henry proposed that special committees
of natives and Englishmen should be ap-
pointed to assess any damage done by
sanitary inspectors and pay for IL What
he especially wanted to stop was the
abominable practice of casting out the
dead bodies of plague victims into the
streets, to avoid medical Investigations
Then the pleasant discovery was made
that about ore-fourth of the rats in the
native city were infected with plague
germs, and he offered reward Tor all
dead rats. with tag attached to show in
what house they were caught. Then the
rats were examined, and il they had
plague germs in them, the house which
they had frequented was promptly disin-
fected. A little later he found out that
the rat catchers were levying blackmaii
right and left. They simply tied to the
rats the addresses OF Cinnamon who
would not pay for exemption If house
holder refused to be bled they put plague
rats to his account. and in due course his
house was ransacked by the sanitary
corps. 1t soon became almost impossible
to catch any rats in the city. because all
the householders combined to wreck all
the traps. But this did not cneckmate
the rat-catchers, who simply imported
rats from the country which they resold
to Sir Henry at a vast profit. The latter
has temporarily lost his interest in rod
ents and Hong Kong is as dirty as ever.

ATTITUDE OF PRoTEsTANTs.
They Declare That Separation of State
and Church Are Inevitable.

Paris, Jan. 16.--An article in the Aurore,
NJ Clemenceau's paper, deals with the
attitude of ProtestantS to the question
of the separation of church and state OF
France. II says that Professionals do not
regard the proposal as necessarily equiv
alent to spoliation, as do the Roman
them into three different groups. The
first. who are few in number are hos
tile TO separation. In their opinion Pro-
testantism imposes no trammeis on the
progress of republicanism, and therefore
there is no reason why Il bond which is
no Inconvenience to the state nor to the
Protestant church should be broken. The
second division is the most numerous.
The members hold that separation is in
evitable. French Professionalism, they say,
except in the nineteenth century, was al
ways separated from the state. One of
the latest general synods of the Re-
formed church declared itself favorable
in principle to separation. In circular
of November q the president of the per-
amnent committee recalls this decision,
and sets forth the matters which should
be brought to the notice Of the authori-

the right of the church to constitute
themselves into parishes; to organize
themselves in accordance with their ira
ditions, and collectively to possess the
funds necessary for their existence. The
third section proposes to anticipate sep
araton. They argue that if separation
is q reform there is no reason why they
should wait until it is imposed on them.
They therefore propose to make an offer
to the Republican government to take

are probably more Greeks I'm CONSTANT

Greek customs at Christmas appear to
predominant. In one respect the present
giving habits of the Greek vary curiously
from those of the Mohammedan. Both
give presents to their equals but Greek
servants expect presents from their en-
ployers. whereas exactly the reverse is
the case among the Mohammedans The
servant gives his master 4
present of sweets; the European employ
er gives his Greek servants money
or the like, and the tradesmen's
employees expect presents also.
As Christmas is the season of peace

the season of peace and good will with
Mohammedans, SO let us hope that the
occurrence this year Of
Christmas and Bairam may prove to be !

for a shred of dirty. patched old rag to
a penny-or even twopence for foul but
heavy covering. Then. too, there are
frayed silk quilts for bridal couples, but
these are too costly to be rented by many
bridegrooms. Rent must be paid in adj
vance, and before the family go to sleep
the collector comes and gets either the
money or the quilt With refinement
of cruelty he does not appear until the
lessee has turned in. and the loss of his
covering will be doubly felt There are
heartrending scenes when penniiess moth
ers strive to hold the quilt to protect
their babes from the chill and damp. Like
the pawnbroker and the money lender,
the quilt lender is f1inty hearted.
Few of the inhabit of Shitaya ever
get enough money ahead to buy bedcloth-

children shaving but few cotton rags
