RETURNS FROM NEW YORK.
Mrs. Dickinson Appears in Court to
Answer Indictment.

Mrs. Earle Dickinson, indicted for false
pretenses, In whose case the bond of $500
was declared forfeited because she failed
to appear in Criminal Court No. l a few
days ago when the case was called for
trial, reported at the city hall yesterday
afternoon, accompanied by her surity. 1t
was explained that Mrs Dickinson has
been in New York at a given address,
and had no intention of jumping bail"
The forfeiture was set aside. The defend
ant thereupon pleaded guilty, and, upon a
showing made in her behalf Justice Gould
suspended sentence.
Mrs. Dickinson was accused of having OBJ
tanned $15 by false pretenses, giving as
surety for the loan a piano which she
claimed was her property. but which. 1t
later developed, did not belong to her Pre-
vious to this transaction she was tried and
acquitted in Criminal Court No. of a
charge of taking a sum of money from a
cleaning and dying establishment by which
she was employed. Her defense was that
she had been attacked and chloroformed,
and that her assailant had made away with
the money in question while she was un-
conscious by reason of the application of
the anesthetic.

The Making of a Newspaper.

Cant. George A Van Smith of st. PAU
gave an Illustrated lecture last evening,
April 7, in the hall of the Eastern High
School in the course of free lectures to the
people. His theme was THE Making OF a
Newspaper" and he said in part:
Probably no commercial enterprise SO
closely touches the whole people as does
the newspaper. Certainly of none is the
public SO little informed. We accept the
newspaper not infrequently as we accept
so-calIed necessary evils Everybody you
know can tell the newspaper man how TO
run his papr and no one, save, perhaps,
the newspaper man, Is ever quite satisfied
with it's conduct. How many of the read
ers of the millions of daily newspapers pub
lished in America have anything like an
adequate conception of the vast amount
of toll, brain and capital involved in fin
ishing the little black and white product
that a penny draws from the willing, grimy
hand of the newsies on the street? l fancy
not many readers of the forty million daily
papers sold in America every twenty-four
hours have anything like an intelligent idea
of the evolution of the mysterious concoc-
ton served hot, for a penny.
Did you ever think that the crisp, snappy
sheet was bit of nature only one short
month ago in its parent spruce tree, add
ing it's tiny whisper to the song sung by
the stately forest? The newspaper, grim
little black and white messenger of the
worlds progress, Is full of human interest
aside from that recited so tersely in its
pages"

GIVEN A HEARING.
District Employees Must Pay Just Debts
or Take Consequences.

If any of the employees of the District
government admit that they owe money.
the Commissioners will insist that the
amounts be paid, but where debts are
claimed and not admitted by the employees
The Commissioners will not interfere. This
position was defined to-day in the case or
the District Cooperative Association, or
which James M. A. Watson was treasurer,
and which has served claims against Dis
trict employees. The request was referred
to Colonel BiddIe for first endorsement,
and that official says:
II am willing to insist that the en-
ployes of the engineer department snail
paw the amounts which from their own
statement they admit due. | am not VIII
ling. however, that they shall be required
to pay the amounts claimed which they 90
not admit they owe. The only control
which / consider / have over employees VINO
do not pay their bills is that l think 1t
bad policy to keep in the District service
men who are dishonest-and men that DO
not pay their legitimate bills certainly are
So I have no reason whatever to DOUBT
the statements made by these employees as
to the amounts really due by them While,
therefore l prefer that these bills shall be
paid. / am not willing to insist upon 1t
further than above stated.
