LAWYER JIM FINCH.
Threatened TO BE Jailed for Con-
tempt of Court.

Oregon City special: Attorney
James Finch, of Portland, of the firm;
of Piggott e. Finch, was threatened
with Jail for contempt in the circuit
court yesterday. Mr.. Finch is repre-
senting Carl Steinbicker in a suit
against Isaac Grafton and the Mil
waukie Country Club, to recover
s14OO alleged to have been lost in
gambling.
While Judge Mcbride was hearing
the argument on a motion to strike
out certain parts of the complaint,
Mr.. Finch interrupted proceedings
three different times, and finally the
patience of the court became ex-
hausted, and he said to Finch:
You will either behave yourself
as a gentleman should, or you will go
to Jail"
81 want a grand jury" said Mr.
Finch.
Finch stated that he would demand
an investigation or the conuuct ol
the Country Club by a grand jury or
by the district attorney, but Judge
Mcbride said that he would not al
low the criminal branch of the court
to be used as a club to prosecute q
civil action.
"If the allegation in the complaint
is true" said his honor, then the
district attorney should indict both
defendants and the plaintiff as we'll. ."
The affair created considerable ex'
element in the ordinary dull routine
OF the court session. The defendants
attorney filed demurrer in the COM
plant today.

A RHETORICAL Triumph.
Sheridan's Speech In Connection Witt
the Hastings Trial.

Sheridan's Speech In Connection Will
the Hastings Trial.
Answering a correspondent who ask
ed about the speech of Sheridan In con
nection with the Warren Hastings
trial, the London News says:
THAT immense oratorical triumph
was certainly not reported in the notes
in question, for the Dude speech was
not delivered during the trial. Sheri
dan pronounced it in the house of com
mons in the year before the trial in
moving that the Dude charge should
be one of the articles of the impeach
ment.
mo speech recorded in our history
ever had such a reception. The entire
house and all in the galleries violated
the traditions of parliament and set a
precedent that remains unfollowed by
clapping furiously and continuously
Pitt fully conscious of the extraor
binary state of excitement disclosed by
this breach of decorum, moved the adj
journment on the unparalleled ground
that the minds of members were to-
agitated to discuss the question witt
GOODNESS and judicially.' Sheridan ha6
spoken for five hours and forty min
utes. No full report Of the speech
exists. The best appeared in the Lon
don Chronicle for Feb. 8, 1877.
1.-The fame of the speech was sucl,
that when the trial came on ESQ wa,
gladly paid for seat in the hall OF
the day of Sheridans speech as
manager OF the impeachment. Macau
lays account of that speech. which is
both misleading and inaccurate in sew
eral respects. at least permits us TO
know the fact that the speaker was
publicly embraced by Burke on resum-
ing his seat. At later stage in the
trial-six years later, in fact-Sheridan
delivered another speech which was
described by one of the auditors as an
extraordinary rhetorical triumph"

GOOD SENSE
IN THE USE
OF MEDICINE
How Prepared Household Rem.
edies May Be InteIligentIy
Employed and Proof of
What One of Them Has
Accomplished.

There are some who will not employ a
doctor under any circumstances and
others who argue that we should not so
much as take a simple cough mixture
without calling on a medical practitioner
to prescribe it.
As usual the truth lies between the
two extremes and common sense is all
that is required to find it. Safe family
remedies, tried by time and proved
valuable by experience will always have
their place in the household and there
are constantly occurring instances in
which they may be properly and intelli-
gently used. A good tonic, safe for use
without a doctors prescription, with
complete directions for taking, such as
DR.. Williams Pink Pills, will often save
money, time and suffering.
If you feel run down, either through
over-work, worry, or some great strain
on the bodily forces, you cannot do better
than to use Dr. Williams Pink Pills.
Mrs Nellie Mead, of 367 Bedford street,
Johnstown, Pa, says:
''After the birth Of my baby did not
get very strong, but grew weaker. If
anything, as time went on. Any little
excitement or work, even going up stairs,
made me tired out and short of breath.
My digestion was poor and didn't get
hungry. II / forced myself to eat, the
gas on my stomach distressed me terri
bly,. / was pale and nervous and was
often troubled with dizzy headaches and
palpitation of the heart.
II lost interest in life and became
melancholy. The medicines took for.
over year didn't help me, so began
to use DR.. Williams Pink Pills. Sooner
than had hoped, / noticed little
benefit and continued the treatment
until well. My complexion became
healthy and blood pure. My Appetite
came back. digestion was good and
gradually my nerves grew strong. felt
better and stronger in every way"

all druggists, or sent, postpaid, on re-
ceipt of price, so cents per box, six boxes

WIGS snd Iilin Skulls.

The curious thinness of some skulls
of Egyptian mummieS of the fourth
to the nineteenth dynasty has been
studied by DR.. G.. Elliot Smith, pro-
fessor of anatomy at Cairo, and he
suggests that the cause may have been
the wearing of heavy wigs. 1t occurs
in both male and female skulls. 1t is
found only in mummies of wealthy
people, and the upper classes Of the
period to which the phenomenon be-
longs are known to have followed the
fashion of wearing enormous wigs.

New Years I'm New Amsterdam

New Years in New Amsterdam
When our Dutch ancestors de-
barked from the Half Moon in the har-
Dor Of Manhattan it was 1909. And
they brought with them from their ma
tive Holland nothing Of that spirit Of
religious intolerance which distin-
guished the New England Puritans
who came six years latel. In fact,
they were denounced by their Yankee
neighbors as goddess crew. but
they kept Christmas and New Years
day. both Of which we're frownsd upon
by the Massachusetts Puritans. On
New Years morning the old Dutch
burgher would start from his own door
and visit his neighbors. collecting all
the money due him from the solvent
debtors and forgiving the insolvent
ones. and, having drunk numberless
mugs of punch with the solvent and
insolvent alike, he returned to his
home a better man. forgiving in,
spirit and perhaps more religious
minded than his Puritan neighbor,
who had spent the day precisely as he
sends every other week day in the
year.

A Pretty Game for Children

A pretty game appropriate to New

many of the kindergartens in Phila-

holding hands. One of them is left
on the outside and is given the knitted
driving reins. decorated with bells,
used by young children IN playing
horse. After the circle is formed a
child personatiug the New Year
dances around the outside of the cir
Gle, shaking the bells she holds, while
the children all sing or repeat IN un-
ison:
I am the little New Year, oh, no!
Here | come tripping it over the snow,
Shaking my bells with a merry din,
So open your doors and let Inc in.
Blessings 1 bring for you, one and all,
Big folks and little folks, short and tall,
Each one from me treasure may win,
So open your doors and let me in.
While they are singing this the
little New Year pauses first at one
"door" formed by the interlocked
hands of two OF the circle )and then at
another. At the last verse she slips
through whichever ''door'' she
chooses, and the little girl whom she
favors by kiss takes her place. 4

A Worldwide Holiday

Practically every race and nation
observes New Years day by some
time honored custom. The "feast'
is said to be the oldest of all. having
it's origin in prehistoric times in
''sun" or "nature'' worship. AS
time grew apace the festival took on
curious customs here and there. so that
now it represents charming mixture
or mythology, legend and supersti-
tions expressed by quaint customs al
most as varied as are the people who
observe them. In the United States
the day is scarcely more than q holi-
day, with an unromantic "night
watch" thrown in, but in Scotland,
England. Germany. France. Russia.
Spain, Persia, China and Japan it is
enriched by tradition, romance and
charming custom.

but i've centuries elapsed before it
was invented and Eve more before Il

In 525 the Roman abbot Dionysius
began to count the years ab incarna-

A Custom Worth Copying

A New Years ceremony much more
exactingIthan our custom of swearing
off, is INDUCED in in China. On the
last day of the old year the law com
pels every one to settle accounts with
his creditors so as to begin the new
year with clean account. If any
one cannot pay the debt is cancelled,
but there Is great deal of feeling
%hown. It is considered go disgrace
full to leave q debt unpaid that the
unlucky debtor who cannot discharge
his pecuniary obligations at that time
is liable to be treated with insult and
injury. Among the coarser classes
they often break out and smash the
furniture of debtor and annoy his
family in every possible way. and
then he cannot get any protection
from the magistrates, no matter how
seriously he is injured. as the fact OF
his not paying up cuts him of from
all sympathy.
