Term IN JAIL
PRISONER TOLD THE JUDGE
THAT He WAS ENeAeE0To
BE MARRIED.

. . . jos
WHEELING, Sept. 2i.-"All the
world loves a iovsF,1 and judges on
the bench with a prisoner to sentence
before them are not an exception,
Such was proved Thursday morning
In the Criminal Court of Ohio county
by Judge Louis s. Jordan. A prisoner
found guilty Of petit larceny told the
the Judge he was engaged to be mar
ried next month, drew sentence Of
lust one month. Never for a moment
did his Honor drop that austere man
ner which characterizes him when on
the bench. but expressing the hope
that when the prisoner emerged from
iai he would come forth better citt-
zen, beginning life anew with his
better half, he gave that sentence OF
80 days. .41F
The prisoner was Theodore Bow
man, who was found guilty Of petit
larceny. Bowman was accused of
stealing revolver and the case went
to the jury Thursday morning. 1t
was out only ten minutes when it re-
turned with verdict of guilty
Before he sentenced him the Judge
asked, Have you anything to say
why sentence should not be pro
nounced?"
"No, sir, guess not" said Bow
man. 81 don't know much about it,
never was in court before"
After a few more questions the
Judge asked.
"Are you marrled"
mo, sir, but I'm engaged to be next
MONTH"
Then the judge pondered and asked
tho prisoner If he were given a sen
tence of short duration if ne thought
he would lead a better life when he
came out of JAIL
q 'spose SO, sir" said the prisoner,
an expectant smile illuminating his
dusky countenance.
well, then Ill sentence you to 80
days in JAIL"
And that's how it came about that
the Judge gave Bowman a sentence Of
30 days in Jail and a life sentence for
petit larceny.

General Manager Smith Must Stand
Trial.
A decision handed down by Justice
Giegertch Of the Supreme Court oblig.
es General Manager Smith, Of the New
York Central railroad, to stand trial
for manslaughter for the fatalities
that resulted from the smash-up on
the Harlem division some months ago
on the newly electrified line of the
system. The New York Central has
moved heaven and earth to prevent
Mr.. Smith being made the example;
but with all it's power and influence,
with all the Vanderbilt money, and
even the intense persuasion of chaun'
cey NJ. Depew, late president of the
gloating savage staring at you waiting
to be responsible for those people who
were killed. This is very important
test case; and all the railroads Of the
country regard it apprehensively; for
If Smith be convicted he will have to
go to prison, and high officials are
naturally alarmed over sich POSSIBLE
! ty. as 1t will establish a precedent
that will make accidents hereafter
mean something beside paying out q
few dollars to square the victims or
their heirs. But public sentiment be-
came highly wrought over this Har'
lem accident, and there was demand
of IAN eye for an eye." Terror reigns
in the offices of the New York Central,
but Smith will have to face a jury
just the same. Public sentiment says
it's right he should.
I Fostering the Tipping Mania.
When the japanese general, Korukl,
departed from the Hotel Astor he gave
away hundreds of dollars In tips; and
when Swedish Prince wilhelm took
his leave he distributed thousands the
same way. At least such was given
out to the New York daily press. AS
a conserving factor for the general
public good the newspapers should not
have featured such follies even if they
were facts. 1t is hard enough to get
along in New York with the tipping
standard fixed away above the means
Of most people, not to give out such
blatant wNstefulness of money as thai
Truth is, tipping costs one far more
than anybody of ordinary means can
afford; and walters, servants, and
cabbies have grown SO impudent in
their demands that If tips aren't al
ways on the increase they'll not at
tend one at all. 1t has actually reach
ed that point in New York that you
can't turn around but you see some
line, the law says that somebody has
to be tipped. And when you hand
them your silver they haven't the man
ners to express thanks for it, but
Eclutch 1t as a right.

Rifed.

Two robberies occurred in Harrison last
night or early this morning, one loser be-
ing Councilman Edward J. Rice, of the

Inns saloon.
In Councilman Rice's store entrance was

IDENTIFY with a jimmy. When Rice opened
his store about 6.45 o'clock this morning
he discovered hat a door In the store
leading to the rear yard was wide open

over the place. Rice missed his money
drawer from the back of the counter, and
later found it empty in the back yard.
At McLaughlin's saloon the thieves goi
in by smashing the front door.
