No Time Lost in Passing Sentenc
 After Conviction.

New York, Dec. 20.-Abraham Hum mel, convicted of conspiracy in the Dodge-Morse divorce litigation was sentenced to one years imprisonment in the penitentiary and to pay a fine nf $500, the maximum penalty. The charge was that Hummel sought to show that Mrs. Morse's divorce from Dodge was invalidated, the object be- ing thus to upset her marriage to Morse. who is a wealthy banker and the owner of steamship companies
 District Attorney Jerome asked that sentence be passed at once saying that Hummel had been menace to the community for twenty years. Hummel is one of the most widely known New York lawyers.
 The sentence was pronounced with in few moments after the verdict was returned.
 motion of his lawyers for an arrest of Judgment for twenty-four hours was denied and Hummel was taken to the Tombs prison.
 One of the unexpected features of the trials ending was the fact that one of Hummers own counsel. John B. Stanchfield, made the first proposal for a speedy sentence.
 Depending upon the result of this case are actions in other indictments against prominent persons, which have grown out of the Dodge-Morse divorce case. An indictment for subornatiop of perjury is still pending against Hummel in connection with which he is under bond in the sum of $2,5OO. Hummel was released from the Tombs at 10 o'clock tonight under $1OOOO bail on a writ of reasonable doubt secured from Judge Woodward of the supreme court in Brooklyn.

 OBrien gave a remarKa ble exhibition of sparring and footwOrk lie uucke and dodged and sidestepped in a man ner that was bewildering. Fitzsimmous would swing and find only the empty air, and several times nearly went through the ropes from the force of his missDent blows.

Solons. Grand juries in several states
are indicting members of the legisla-

and members of the house. Those I'LL

The London Pail Mall Gazette dis
cusses the word "diplonVtist," inter-
preting it as lone with a double duty
and double responsibility"-to his
own country and the country that re-
ceives him. The evolution Of "diplo-
matist" from the Greek verb for ito
double" is very curious. Diploma" a
doubling, was specialized as folded
paper and particularly in Roman times
an official passport or license. Thus
diplomatic science" down to the end
of the eighteenth century meant the
science Of manuscripts and documents,
which explains a modern writer's
strange remark that 'there is not a
shadow Of diplomatic doubt thrown
over the integrity Of the third gospel"
DR.. Murray's Dictionary assigns the
translation to the modern meaning to
Leibnitz's "Codex Juris Centrum Dip
lomaticus" documentary code Of inter-
national law and the title Of similar
French work. Diplomatic came to
be considered as meaning "interna-
tional documentary" and then the
documentary" dropped out.
