THE editor of respectable N. Y.
weekly was acquitted, last week, of a
charge of libel preferred by local
judge, fer asserting that he was one oi
the editors of another weekly-an al
legged society journal given to scandal
and blackmailing. The editor proved
the truth of his charge and gave good
reasons for publishing it. The list d
.immunes" that was developed in Court
men who had paid the scandal sheet
thousands of dollars for not writing
them up, was an astonisher. On Satur
day last criminal charge was mad,
against one of the editors of the scanda
sheet, and he was held for Court.

SCHENECTADY, N. Y, Aug. 15.-
Would you have your nose pulled and
your face slapped for $4,000?
j. H. Eagan of Ballston had this ex-
perience at the hands of young Oliver
Beckwith and he asks the supreme
court in suit he has just instituted
here to award him that sum as a
measure of consolation for the pain and
humiliation he experienced. Eagan is
the brother of a hotel keeper at Balls
ton Lake. Beckwith went to the hotel,
accompanied by woman He heard
later that Eagan was ungallant enough
to make a remark rejecting on her.
Beckwith met Eagan in front of the
Ellis House in this city. and without
any preliminaries walked UP to Eagan
and after tweaking his nose slapped
him in the face a couple of times
Eagan weighs about 100 pounds, while
Beckwith, who has barely passed his
majority, weighs only about 1870 pounds
An effort to, settle the case yesterday
was fruitless. Beckwith offered 500.
but Eagan stuck out for $500, and the
defense concluded to let a jury deter
mine whether it was worth $4,000 to get
even in the manner adopted by Beck
with. The latter is a brother of Charles
d. Beckwith, one of the Republican
leaders and close friend of John N.
Parker, the Republican boss of the
county.

WEDGED IN WITH BEER NEAR

Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
ST. LOUIS, Aug 15.--John Kremer OF
Alton had the tightest squeeze of his
life when he became wedged in a
steamboat stairway and couldn't go
ahead nor back up.
Kremer is a .member of the Alton
Maennerchor. He and some of the
other members took a trip yesterday
afternoon to Grafton on the excursion
steamer Liberty. The bar on the Lib
erty is on the boiler deck, aft. 1t is
reached by n stairway from the cabin
deck, which is very narrow and very
steep.
Kremer took a look at the stairway.
and then at himself, and came to the
conclusion that they were not meant
for each other. Other members of the
Maennerchor made frequent trips be-
low, but Kremer said he didn't care
for anything. He did, but he wouldn't
let on.
He survived the up trip. but on the
way back something had to be done
He drew one of his friends aside and
asked his advice. The other man said
he thought Kremer might make it If
he could hold his breath long enough.
Kremer went aft and took another
look at the narrow stairway. He was
turning away with a groan of despair
when man appeared at the bottom
with bottle o. beer in his hand. That
vas too much for Kremer. He started
down.
He only got waist deep. He had half
foot too much width and all the draw
ing in he could do was of no avail. His
friends above pushed and his friends
below pulled, but that only put him in
worse The pushing and pulling were
reversed, and Kremer was pulled back
to the cabi4t deck and revived.

BERLIN, Aug. 15.-The press of all

of being a sign of improved relations
between him and the emperor and the
belief and hope are generally expressed
that the visit will have a beneficial ef-
feet on the people of both countries,
besides putting their political relations
on a better footing.
The papers here avoid all extrava-

of practical results.

OFFICIALS MAINTAIN SILENCE
Refuse to Discuss Importance of the
Kings Visit to Emperor

BY Assocla tod Press.
LONDON, Aug. 15.-The strictest
silence is maintained in official circles
as to the subjects to be discussed by
King Edward and Emperor William at
their meeting at Friederichshof.
Up to the last moment it was not
admitted at the foreign office that Sir
Charles Harding would accompany the
king. He had been away on a holiday
and broke it UP to join the royal party
on the continent. His presence adds
significance to the meeting, for as the
permanent under secretary of the for
eign office he is really the man who
carries on the foreign affairs of the
country, and the fact that he is attend
ing King Edward leads to the belief
here that the discussion between their
majesties will be of the greatest range;
that it will take in all questions out
standing between the countries and
those likely to come up in the future.
Where Germany Is Interested
Germany at present is more directly
interested in Persia than any other
country and it is believed here that
her aim is to secure port on the Per-
sian gulf as a terminus for the Bag
dad railway.
Great Britain" said one official to
the Associated Press tody, does not
oppose the ACQUISITION by Germany of
commercial port on the Persian gulf.
but. as has been stated repeatedly, the
establishment of naval or military
base on the gulf, such as Kiso Chou
IN China, would be menace to Great
Britain"
Although the concession to the Bag
dad railway is held by German bank,
1t is stated that they have not suffi-
cient capital to complete it, If they
would apply foreign capital the aues-
tion would be in position to be taken
up by the two governments.
II is likely that the two monarchs
will talk over Russian affairs and un-
doubtedly they will try to remove the
Ill feeling between the two powers. so
manifest during the last few years.

HARDY IS JAILED;
PROTESTS INNOCENCE
Charged With Murder of Father
In L W. s..
WAS ARE ESTED NEAR CHIPlEY
WAS ARRESTED NEAR cHIPLEY
Evidence Is Strong Against Hardy,
and Large Reward Was Offered for
Ills Arrest-Captured by Man Who
Married His Cousin.

Columbus, Ga, Dec, 14.-Charles
Hardy was arrested three miles west
0f Chipley, Ca, at til home OF Hen
ry kimbrough Thursday on the
charge Of numbering his father in law
Charles H. Brooks, whose assassin
ation week ago caused such great
sensation in that section
Brooks was snot while seated before
fire al his home, his slayer stand
ing on the outside and firing through
the window pane,
The coroner's jury, which has been
Investigating the case, returned
verdict last night, holding that the
shot was fired by Hardy. When he
learned Of the verdict Hardy left
ChjDley hurriedly. A posse was
formed ana stared in pursuit Of him
and he was captured a few hours
later. The capture was made by
Henry Kimbrough, whose wife is a
first cousin Of Hardy There were
rewards for Hardy's arrest aggregat-
ing several hundred dollars, and one
theory is ina Kim5rough surrendered
him in order that this fund could be
used in defraying the expenses Of the
trial. This is simply conjecture,
but if 1t is true the situation is a
most curious one. The governor
offered five hundred dollars reward
which was supplemented by the peo-
pie Of Chip4ey.
On account of the excited cOndi-
tions at Chipley, Hardy was carried
to the Troup county all at LAGRANGE
by Sheriff Huling. Hardy was la
ter brought to Columbus.
It is reported that Hardy, who is a
farmer, was in sore financial straits,
His father-i law is we'll to do.
A day or two before the killing,
Hardy went to the county seat, at
Hamilton, and examined the property
records.
If the coroner's verdict should be
substantiated the only motive that
has been suggested for Hardy's deed
was that by the death Of his father
in-law his (Hardy's) wife could come
into possession of her share of the es-
tate.
