Apropos Of the mushroom growth OF

locomotive engineer relates the fol-
lowing:
One lay was driving my engine
across the prairie when. suddenly, a
considerable town loomed up ahead,
where nothing had showed up the
day before.

Singular Austrian Law.

A few days ago the murderer of Mr..
Reid, the Paisley man who mysteri.
ously disappeared from Heidelberg
last July, having been arrested in
Austria. was tried at Feldkirch and
was convicted and sentenced to 20
Years imprisonment.
The case illustrates singularity of
he Austrian criminal law. Generally
speaking, a premeditated murder is
punishable by death in Austria, but il
cases where between the time of the
murder and the arrest the prisoner
has been punished for some other
crime a sentence of capital nunish.
ment cannot be passed upon him.
In this case the murderer had
served weeks Imprisonment for
petty theft about January of this year
and to this circumstance alone he is
indebted for his life.

DIGNITY OF THE COURT,
An Incident OF History at Mayvilie
N. ", Fifty Years Ago.

At the last term Of court a Chautau.
qua County lawyer sent a post card
containing picture of the Mavvllle
courthouse to lawyer who had been
a student in this county nearly half a
century ago. and received the follow
ing in reply. The answer discloses
a standard of dignity on the part Of
the bench so far below anything that
would be tolerated in these times that
We are almost forced to admit that
the world is improving:
Thank you for the picture of the
Chautauqua courthouse. My first visit
To it was about forty.seven or forty
eight years ago. Judge George Bark
er. then a practicing lawyer, went to
Mayville on Monday and on Wednes-
day ! followed. The first thing that
/ saw upon the bench as | entered
the courtroom was a pair of muddy
boots near the end of the desk. and a
moment later round face looking
like full moon appeared near the
other end.
The whole outfit belonged to Judge
Martin Grover. He was really sitting
upon his backbone with his heels on
the bench. He had got off some joke
and laughing had sunk so low in his
chair that he had quite disappeared
and now was gradually rising. We
became good friends later on and I
learned too. the unwisdom of judging
by appearances. but as boy | was

Regrets From the Expatri,t-d.

Last winter the friends of OTTo KELSEY
explained his lsmentable exhibition of
ignorance regarding the affairs OF his
Office by saying that Governor HUGHES
had taken him and had played
a mean trick on him by allowing him no
time in which to prepare for the exam
nation he had TO undergo. Mr.. KELSEY
Ia under examination again. having had
full warning Of the ordeal. He is show
ing again the same astounding lack OF
knowledge Of the affairs with which he
should be most intimately acquainted
that astonished the people of the State
eight months ago.
Mr.. KELSEY expressed surprise" that
Mr.. FLEMING, his present inquisitor, pos
eessed so much information about recent
insurance transactions. Mr.. KELSEY had
no suspicion of the facts on which Mr..
FLEMING Intercepted him. He has had
no occasion to inquire; he would not
care to pass on that question offhand";
his attention never had been called to"
this and that; he would have looked
into" various matters had his subordi-
mates brought them to his notice.
1t is boosted by Mr.. KELsEy's friends,
and generally admitted by those who are
not his admirers, that he is an honest
man." The distinguished former man.
ayers of the great insurance enterprises
must regret that in the days of their
power they did not have 80 innocent and
