ants. arguing that each act consti-
tuted conspiracy in itself and that
each alleged act should have been set
cut in court by itself
The prosecution said that the in
dictment was a practical copy of a
conspiracy indictment drawn up by
Special Prosecutor Heney in Oregon,
and which indictment had been sus-
tained by the higher court.
The arguments were largely techni-
cal in character, involving fine points
Of law. The demurrer to the indict-
ments read as follows:
"First-That several distinct and
separate offenses are charged in said
indictment and not set forth in sepa-
rate counts. namely: That 70 sepa-
rate and distinct offenses on the
charge Of conspiracy are set forth
therein in one count and not describ-
ed in separate counts.
Second-That separate and dis
tinct offenses are improperly Joined IN
said indictments in this, to-wit: That
7SpetA otC anu ulSllItCl plIenSeS OI con-

perjury are improperly Joined in one

"Third-That the said indictment is
indefinite and uncertain in this: That
1t does not appear therefrom whether
the said defendants, William F. Ket-
t%nbach, George H. Kester, William
Dwyer, Isham N. Smith, John B. West

UNIFORM Is NO SESAME.
NAVtL OFFICER LOSES AGAINST
AMUSEMENT COMPANY.
Rhode Island Judge Holds Dance Hall
Proprietor Is Not Obliged to Ad-
NIT Everybody.

PROVIDENCE, R. l., April 20.-Chief
Yeoman Fred ]. Buenzle, who was barred
from dance hall in Newport because, as
he claims. he was wearing the uniform
of the United States navy, can recover at
law only the price of his admission ticket,
according to decision handed down by
William H Sweetland, chief presiding Of
ficer of the Rhode Island superior court
The decision. which is long and which
overrules the demurrers raised by the de-
PENDANTS, says the legal rights of man
wearing the United States uniform are
not different from those Of any well-be-
haved person who possesses a ticket or
admission to any place of amusement.
The judge said the proprietors of
place of amusement are not under any
obligations to admit any person whom
they may choose to exclude.
Later suit was brought against the
Newport Amusement association, prOpri-
etors of a dancing pavilion at Newport,
from which Buenzle claimed he was ex-
cluded last September because he was
wearing naval uniform. The manage
ment rendered to him the % cents he had
paid for his ticket, but Buenzle brought
suit for damages. He was given finan-
cial support by naval officers stationed
at Newport. and President Roosevelt
sent a check to help defray the expenses
of prosecuting the case.

The Paris Clubs.

Election to tine exclusive clubs OF
Paris is very serious business. The
propOser and seconder must not only
know all about their candidates, but
be able to bear witness to their ante
cedents and even to their forefathers.
They must write to ali their friends
and ask them to support their candi-
dates. When the election takes place,
they must not onIy be in the room, but
approach each member individually as
he comes up to the ballot box and ask
him for his support.
When the member has been elected,
he arrives the first day as q kind IF
stranger and with his hat in hand. He
is then formally introduced by one Of
his propOsers to each member sepa-
rately who happens to be in the room
at the time On the second occasion
he has ceased to be a stranger and may
leave his hat in the hall, but be is still
expected to 90 around the room with
one Of his proposers and be formally
introduced This lasts for a week, by
which time he Is assumed to know all
his colleagues, though a foreigner who
is extra punctilious and insists on be-
ing introduced to every member of the
club gains considerably in popularity.

The trail Of the Jormons across
Iowa could be followed for years by
the graves that marked the pathway
Of their journey through Van Buren,
David, Appanoose, Decatur and Union
counties More than 400 men, women
and children who died from the eff
fects of exposure and hardships of the
exodus Of 1861 were buried in the
Mormon cemetery at Mount Pisgah. In
1883 the Utah Mormons caused a mon
ument to be erected here in memory
OF the dead, who, for The most part,
lie in unmarked graves.
In 1S47 Brigham Young led an ex-
petition from Iowa over the plains to
Salt lake, where he selected q location
for the future home Of the church. In
June, 1S4S, the second expedition, con-
sisting of G23 wagons and nearly 1000
persons, joined the Salt lake colony.
In the fifty years that have passed
Mormons have been absent from their
old haunts in the Mississippi valley.
History will never repeat itself to the
extent of seeing once more Mormon oc-
cupatton and persecution; but evidence
multiplies on every side showing that
tho Mormons of Utah are looking long
irgly and peaceably on the spots
where their fathers founded the faith.

PASSING OF "LAGNAPPE."


BY agreement among the retail deal,
ers of New Orleans, says a writer i'll
the New York Evening Post, the time
honored institution of "lagnappe' has
been abolished since the beginning OF
the new year The word means some
thing given ION the side," gratis, to
customer. It comes from the Spanish
American word napS, which means Ito
boot"
No matter how small the purchase,
something had to be added for lag
nappe." Generally this something was
a small delicacy-a piece Of candy,
for example. Increasing competition
and never-decreasing greed made the
shopBeepers devise all sorts of schemes
for keeping up the custom with the
smallest possible cost.
The children, who have been eager
+o rim errands in the past just for the
sake of the reward found in lagnappe,
suffered from this deterioration of the
custom to such an extent that the
hoard Of health finally had to interfere.
And it was at the instance of the au-
thorities that the retail dealers at last
decided to take the revolutionary step
of abolishing Iagnappe entirely.
Complaints have already been heard
from numerous mothers that hereafter
it will be very hard to get the children
to do the errand-running But that the
change is for the better no sensible
person will be likely to doubt.
The custom thus wiped out was pc
culiar to New Orleans only through it's
particular form and by reason Of the
firmness with which it was established
as an undeniable right Department
stores which give trading stamps are
simply doing in another way what the
merchants of New Orleans have been
doing for more than a century.
The same Custom was common in
northern Europe as late as the seven
ties 1t dates back to the days Of plain
barter, when it served as a sop to the
feelings Of the party who had the los
ing end Of trade.

SOLDIERS AND SAILORS ART.
Military Salon in Paris to Exhibit
Their Work.

Military Salon in Paris to Exhibit
Their Work.
Paris is to have a salon militaire,
or military picture exhibition, which,
it is said, will awaken both surprise
and admiration. 1t is a strictly official
affair. 1t is to be held in the Grand
Palais, where the regular annual salon
displays take place. The honorary
presidents of the management are Cen
eral Piquart, the minister of war; Gas
ton Thompson, the minister of marine,
and NJ. Dugardin-B eaumetz, who is I'M
dersecretary to NJ. BRAND in charge of
the fine arts section of the department
of education.
The hanging committee received
more than 800 exhibits-oil paintings,
water colors, sculpture, eGgravings and
other art products. Edouard Detaille.
the great painter of war pictures, who
is said to be the moving spirit in the
exhibition, expresses amaZement at the
great merit Of the work in a majority
of cases. A large majority of the OBJ
jects sent in will be in the display.
The contributors range from sublieu-
tenants to generals. In the marine Sec
ton captains in the navy have sent
exotic life and scenery reproduced from
nature in Africa and Indo-China. Gen
eral Michel, the commander of the Sec
Ond 2rmy corps, is represented by a
pen and ink drawing of the barracks
at Nancy and their picturesque sur
roundings. Colonel Renault Of the in
fantry, who exhibited a portrait Of
Minister Barthon, is to have one Of
General Brugere in the military exhi-
bition. Naval Lieutenant LacaZe con-
tributes a water color, Summer Even
ing in Brittany;' Naval Captain Ian
dry, an oil painting, "Near Cherbourg ;"
Colonel Inspector Lapaln, a picture,
ruins of Chevreuse," and Army Chap
lain Levegue, studies from still life.
Those who have seen the collection
say that the cavalry artists seem to
run to water colors the artillery to
painting in oils, the engineers to sculp-
ture. The infantry are at home in
every part of the work, including burnt
wood and miniature painting. In the
sculpture section the work of two Off
GERS who have some celebrity in art
circles is described as specially good.
They are Captains AIlouard and
Jacques Fremont Meurice of the re-
serve staff
simultaneously with the exhibition
there will be 'tmemoriar' display Of
works by artists who have served in
the army. 1t will include the names
of Meissonier, who served as lieutenant
colonel in 1870 and of DetaiIle, who
was an ordnance officer on the staff
of General Appert-New York Sun.

Lives the Trolley Costs.

If along every mile of street railway

resemble one long-drawn-out cemetery.
Within the limits of greater New

rose to 227. For every person killed
a number are injured, some of them
crippled for life. That this slaughter
and manning is criminalIy needless is
sufficiently attested by single fact:
In all London in the last year of

was ten.
According to the royal traffic com
