ed last Wednesday on the charge of selling
liquor on Sunday and without a license,
was heard in the police court this morning,
Justice Cation presiding. Attorney Lewis H.
Machen appeared for the defendant, and
Commonwealth Attorney Samuel G. Brent

swore that he had bought liquor from Kelly
several Sundays ago. and another witness
testified that two weeks later Kelly had
returned the money. Witnesses were intro
duced by the defense to show that the
liquor in question had been purchased for
private use by party of men, and that the
disposal of three bottles of beer which led
ito the arrest, had not constituted a bona
fide sale. Justice Cation imposed a fine of
$50 and sentenced Kelly to serve sixty days
in jail An appeal was noted. The arrest
was made by Officers Beach, Allen and

HISTORIC HOUSES


Continued from page ol
houses, so to speak, Colonial Danes seek
for more ancestral homes. Colonial
Danes of Ohio, for instance, removed
from the main colonial setting of the
Atlantic Coast, sOothe their preservative
spirit with small clap-boarded building;
but this unpretentious cabin at Marietta
seems sacred to patriotic women of Ohio.
for indeed 1t is distinguished as the oldest
building In the State; and, built in I7SS
by General Rufus Putnam as his frontier
headquarters, it was the nucleus of the
first settlement Thus worthy of most
reverent care, these fair patriots purpose
to restore it to its original setting, making
it a museum for mementos of early days
of Ohio.
The Colonial Danes of Georgia, on the
other hand, rehabilitated an old powder
magazine near Charleston, built away
back in I 7o3, as a meeting place for Patri-
otic dOingS. Together with several other
patriotic societies of women, Colonial
Danes of Pennsylvania contributed to
the restoration of Congress Hall, Phila-
delphia, their share being the senate
chamber Within its revered walls they
receive on Flag Day hundreds of school
children, not forgetting to tell the colonial
tale of old: How George Washington
presided over the first and second CON
crosses of the United States in this
room, and how, standing at one end OF
the room, he solemnly took the oath of
Office the second time.
Another evidence, indeed, of reverence
of Colonial Danes for time-hOnored
structures crops out in North Carolina,
where the Danes make annual pilgrimage
to the artistic vine-COvered ruins of old
ST. philips Church. Built in I72S on
land specifically reserved for the glory
of God" as the chronicles of the society
declare. it enjoyed the patronage of
King George H.. who. desiring that
services may be performed with de
cency," presented the church with dec

Few of the great worlds great des-
patches contained so much wisdom in so
few words as Nye's historic wire from
Washington: MY friends and money

He had an enviable faculty for suppress
sing annoyances in the course of an en-
tertainment- something more dreaded
by any entertainer than thin house.
In the course of one of his lectures in
Minneapolis, a late-comer had some diff
Guilty about his seat, and fingered inside
the inner door to voice some loud prOtes-
tations. Of course every head in the
audience turned toward the door.
Nye endured the disturbance for some
time; then he said politely and icily
"This is a large auditorium, and diff
cult one in which to hear; but fortunately
we are provided with speaker at each
end of the house.
1t is needless to say which speaker
received attention after that.
Nye was engaged to speak at Columbus.
Ohio. in a newly finished church, with
which the minister and his flock were as
well pleased as a small boy with his first
pair of trousers. So, in a short pre-
liminarv and self-congratulatOry address,
the minister referred to the church edihCe,
called attention to its many details of
architectural beauty and convenience,
and laid special stress on its new and i'm
proved system of exits.
Ladies and gentlemen" drawled Nye

instructing the audience how to get out.
Every man has his special troubles; but
Nye had two: one was the reluctance OF
the public to believe that his pen-name
was his real name, and the other was the
persistency of some people in miStaking
him for another fine fellow in a somewhat
different public position-the Rev. Nor
gan Dix, D. D., Ii. D., rector of Trinity
parish. New-York Mr.. Dix's stories are
as good as his sermons, which is saying a
great deal, and Nye's face when in re-
pose suggested a man who could preach
strong sermon of his own.
As to his name, everyone who heard
of Bill Nye associated him mentally with
the oft-quoted person of the same name
who first appeared in Bret Harte's poem,
that the humorists s professional name
was assumed. The poor chap explained
at length, through a popular magazine,
that he came honestly by his name,
having been Christened Edgar Wilson
Nye, and nicknamed bill" from his
cradle; but to his latest days he was be-
sieged by autograph-hunters who asked
for his signature your real name too,
please"
This genial man of cleanly life and good
habits was brutally slaughtered by the
public to whom for years he had given
laughter and sunshine People through
out the country turned against him
when they heard the first breath of cal
umny. Without waiting to hear whether
the story told of him was true or false,
''the dear public treated him SO meanly
that it crushed his spirit sturdy, honest
man though he was-broke his heart,
and caused his death within year.

CUT OUT THE FIREWORKS.

Let's talk sense. Come back to the
fact that we have already developed
in the artesian belt some of the fin
est farms in the United States. We
have established a city in keeping
with the substantial progress of the
country. We are securing industries
which are warranted by present con-
ditions. The town and the country
must continue travelling clos toge-
Their. The permanent growth and
progress of the city depends upon the
permanent settlement and develop
ment of the country. Foreign immi-
good as we can do for ourselves. The
outsider is interested only in selling
land at a profit, and when there is
no more land to be cheap enough
for speculation, he will withdraw
both his profits and his capital. So
far our progress has been safe and
sane. The men who travel bou pro-
noting booms are like the fellows
who buy up secondhand goods and
start fire sales. The person who buys
from the fellow who ships in a car
load of old goods and sells at auction,
always gets cheated, and the home
merchant also suffers. The people
of Roswell and the Pecos Valley
own immigration business-and that
without any fire sales.
