G. w. Meyer and Mrs A. r. Richard
son this morning after their hearing
on the charge of unlawfully living to-
gether. The court was inspired doubt
less by the sight of weakly Mrs, Meyer
sitting on a long bench with six small
children lined up sound asleep from
the tediousness of the long trial.
Bert Meyer, the defendants 12-year-
old son gave some very damaging
testimony against his father saying
that while he and his younger brother
en-, his father and the Richardson
woman occupied the adjoining room
He said his father used sometimes
to come to his mother and say that he
loved No. . better than he did her and
he wanted a divorce.
Mrs. Meyer testified to her hus-
band leaving her to take in washing
and support the six children while
he lived with the Richardson woman.
She is a small woman, careworn and
with a pathetic look which all the
children have inherited.
Patrolmen Shannon and Lister at
4 o'clock Friday morning arrested
Meyer and the Richardson woman in
room % of the Wilbur hotel. 244 Main
avenue. The officers found them in
the room together and Meyer claimed
to have been occupying a cot upon
which was spread a single sheet. They
found the two boys sleeping on the
floor in the kitchen.
1t developed during the hearing
that Mrs Richardson, after gaining
her liberty on bonds last night, went
to Mrs. Meyers house at E27 River
side avenue and presented an order to
the mother from the husband, de-
handing that the boys be turned over
to her.
Prosecutor Laughan asked the court
to bind the two over to the superior
court so that they could be dealt with
to the full extent of the law. The
court bound them over accordingly
and fixed their bonds at $3.50 each.

LIFE IN NICARAGUA.
Some of the Curious Customs OF tne
Easy Going Natives.

Some of the Curious Customs OF the
Easy Going Natives.
The routine Of daily life In Mica
ragua Is much simpler than In colder
climates. There are no carpets TO
gather dust and moths. and there ID
very little furniture and few pictures
and bric-a-brac to be busted and
cleaned. The clothing Of the children
Is also much simpler. and the fashions
are not variable. The children OF the
lower class wear no clothing until
twelve or fourteen years old. and In
the upper class one garment, sort OF
shirt Is enough for home wear, and
children sometimes go on the street IN
this simple garb. What marketing Is
not brought to the door is done by the
master Of the house, and so the women
are free to loll In their hammocks and
nurse their babies.
The delight of going shopping is en-
tirely unknown. If anything In the
dry goods line is wanted servant Is
sent to the shop who brings home an
armful Of whole pieces Of the desired
goods. If none Of these suits, or IL the
sonora desires to look at others, these
are carried back and another armful
Is brought. The same servant can be
trusted to pay for whatever is bought,
for they are very honest in money mat
tefs, only indulging in small offerings.
One of the servants at the college was
accustomed to go to the treasurer every
month to draw the salaries Of the
teachers and she used to have each
ones money wrapped up in different
part Of her dress, and she never made
a mistake by giving the wrong sum to
any one.
While the women are very affection
ate, if death invades their homes you
do not see the despair and gloom that
so often reign with us in like afliction.
They seem to thoroughly take in their
religious belief that their dear ones are
translated to happier scenes and that
the separation is only temporary. The
women Of the family do not go to the
members and friends. There are no
hearses, and the coffin Is borne on their
shoulders and they are relieved by DIFF
ferent relays every little way. Colored
collins are used for young people, blue
being q favorite color. The coffin Is
usually rented by the lower class Just
for the funeral. and the body Is re-
moved at the grave and inferred in the
ground with nothing to preserve it
from contact with the earth. The
wealthy have vaults In the brick
wall surrounding the cemetery, but
these are only rented, and it is nothing
unusual to read an advertisement in the
paper that II the relatives Of such and
such a one do not pay the rent Of the
vault the body will be removed by such
a date.
After a death in a house, the piano,
If the family is rich enough to own one,
is removed from the sala or parlor to
the back of the house, and though 1t
may be moved in a room or two nearer
its former station during the gear it Is
not opened for that length Of time.

CURIOUS CULLINGS.

In many provinces of India the
cobra is still worshiped, and not only
worshiped, but pampered and pro
tected.
An English court has just allowed
the heirs of young man who went
down with ship in a storm in the
Indian ocean in 1857 to presume"
that he is dead.
A policeman in London arrested a
man seventy-six years Of age for sing

clined to punish him for growing old.
The emir of Afghanistan recently
discovered that three of the muftis
of his court had been grating and
also had been guilty Of depressing the
poor. He ordered them buried alive,
and this was done without delay.

The modern travelling man who car
ries always the latest time schedules
in his coat pocket and grumbles be-
cause the Pathfinder is published only
once a month may find it difficult to
believe that certain fundamental trains
have been going in and out Of Boston
at the same hour on the same service
and making the same stops for three
score years. Nevertheless such is the
case. In fact, Massachusetts folks
rather resent 4 change in time tables.
The story is told of one Massachusetts
rural town in the old days that, when
1t was proposed to put on more trains
to Boston, the inha bitants objected be-
cause they said 1t would be task to
remember the times of so many trains.

CHOICE MISCELLANY
Gold Surgical Instruments.

A steel hypOdermic needle Is never
inserted without leaving a permanent
blue speck in the skin Of the patient.
probably because of the perhaps very
small quantity Of impurity, rust or
otherwise which it contains. The gold
needle invariably leaves no mark
whatever, says Leslie's Weekly. Ap-
preciating these facts, efforts, in which
surgeons particularly have been inter-
ested, have been made for years to
cOntrive a process for hardening gold
SO that it could be used for the blades
Of the instruments of surgery of all
kinds.
This is just what Dr. Vaughn has
accomplished after eighteen years Of
experimenting and research. His
method consists Of the employment Of
heat and chemicals, but the tempering
process does not make an alloy Of the
precious metal. Pure gold tempered
by this process remains pure, but the
surgical instruments which DR.. Vaughn
is now manufacturing and which are
beginning to be used extensively in
hospitals and by practicing physicians
and surgeons are of fourteen carat
fneness, these being as efficient, but
not as costly, as instruments of the
purest grade of the metal.
Aside from it's use in surgery, which
is the feature of this new invention
which appeals first, the perfection of
DR.. Vaughn's process is of worldwide
Importance in many branches.

OVERRIDING the Holiday.

The modern craze for speed and hus-
tie has invaded our holiday making to
such an extent that in many peoples
minds tour means really a scamper,
or, more properly speaking, scurry,
in which the object is neither mental
nor bodily refreshment, but merely a
frantic effort to cover the greatest pos
sible amount of ground in the least pos
sible amount Of time. This perverted
view of holiday making does an i'm
inense amount of harm every year,
especially to delicate people, and many
