says, ''who can see joke even If aim
ed at myself. do not feel that in this

The first letter was from man law

Dear Miss Blank-We agree to the COM
promise as proposed in your favor of this
date. Not because your client has just
right to such settlement, but from the
fact that we do not care to open con-

To which this reply was sent:
Gentlemen-I note yours agreeing to
settlement, although I cannot congratu-
late you on your gallantry In begging the
question. Like the original Adam, you
seem inclined to hide behind a woman's
petticoat.
And the following letter closed the
correspondence:

rule the same way. Justice Fitzgerald
took occasion here to read a. statement
he had prepared over Sunday, and in which
he upheld his right to exclude from the rec

prejudicial error. He said he might do
this upon the objection of either side, or

At the same time she issued orders for
workmen to proceed with the completion
OF her new home which adjoins Lyndhurst,
the Thaw family home. This new mansion
was practically completed when the muir
der was committed. Carpets and draperies
worth $4,000 had been purchased, but
when the news of the tragedy came all
work was stopped and the carpets and fur
nishings were put in storage. This week
they will be taken out, and the new home
completed.
Mrs. Thaw, it was said on her return,
would be shown every consideration, and
would be made to feel that the sympathy
of the Pittsburg social world is with her In
her great trouble.
1t is extremely doubtful however, If
Pittsburg society will accept the wife OF

N ~ FINED FOR SELLING TROUT.
]. W. Perry, Of Elk Grove Gave Fish Din
ner and Fish Warden Got Next.

For selling speckled brook trout
illegally, J. w. Perry of Elk Grove,
Columbia county, paid fine of
S2s and costs before Squire Guy
Jacoby at Bloomsbury, Monday
morning. The information was
sworn out by Fish Warden c. R.
Holland, and Perry pleaded guilty.
The information charged that
some time in April Perry gave a
trout dinner, which was selling the
fish illegally. He did not deny that
he sold the fish, but said the din
ner was not quite worth Sa5 to him.
Holland has it up his sleeve, it is
said, to arrest number of other
people in the vicinity of Fishing
Creek on a charge of fishing illegal
ly, and wholesale arrests are to
come soon.

council and demanded that the
council order it stopped, incidental

to their powers and duties. The
council, we'll knowing that it was
matter over which they had no
control, declined to take any action.
On Tuesday the irate citizen talk
ed of having the council arrested,
but they are still out of Jail.
incidentally the council might
remind the irate citizen of the obli-
cations he is under to them for per,
