OUR RESTAURANTS.

It is a puzzle to me that native
Americans are, as rule, unsuccessful
in the conduct of restaurants. cabar-
cts, posadas, inns and other eatlng
bonses tt seems that we must for
ever depend on the Frenchman, the
Hungarian, the German, the Italian
for good meals a Ia carte or table
d'hote at reasonable price. Once in a
while the Irish come to the front and
are successful. suppose there is a
knack in the business which Amer
leans have not acquired.-New York

"THE wAcEs or c1N -

THE WAGES OF SIM"
Twelve men decided on last Saturday
tnat Cnaries Owens deserved no pun

John Mullen one day last August. These
tWelve men reached their decision after
nearing what Attorney Vandeyeer call
ed a story of love-, seduction, deceit

under the instructions of the court
CharIes Owens walked out of the court
room free man, so far as connection
with this case is concerned. He went
to his home to take up the broken
thread of domestic life again. and, eV-
erybody will hope, to lead clean, up
right, decent and manly life. He Will
never again have to answer to his TEL
loWmen for this act; 1T now rests be-
tween him and his Maker.
As for poor John Mullen he has al
ready gone on stc meet the consequences
OF his sin. He paid the penalty with
his life. He has gone to. that bourne
from which ne traveller returneth. HIS
account, too, so far as human society
is concerned, Is settled Unlike the sur
V1vors of this tragedy, he will have no
terrifying memories to haunt him IN
this life. What. awaits him in that life
beyond 1t is not given to us to know,
for we cannot comprehend the mercy or
the judgments of the Infinite One.
But let no one believe that because
a jury has declared this man mot gull
ty'' of murder, that he and his have not
fering is at an end. AS he goes about
mending his broken life he will have
memories of it that no man who mas
not had experience in kind may know.
Who can say the memory of poor john
Mullen Will not rise as Specter between
this man and woman? Who can meas
