ST. JOSEPH, Mo-, has a Peeping
Tom," and it is Baptist preacher
too, who has been convicted of look
ing into windows of private homes
to see what is going on. The only
defense interposed is that he was
looking for a suspected member of
his church and was trying by the
aid of the mans wife to catch him.
The court could not find justification
in the plea and imposed fine for
play of amateur detective.

BILLIARD-PLAYING WITHOUT HANDS.

BILLIARD-PLAYING WITHOUT HANDS.
One OF the great billiard players
who is on q visit to this State, is
George Sutton, whose hands have
been amputated at the wrist. He
handles the cue with the stub of his
arm, using the bridge for rest. He
gave exhibitions of his skill at the A.
Y. p. fair. While Sutton is not
classed as a champion, he is OF the
short-stop class, which means he is
just below the greater players of the
world. He makes runs of 100 points
or no count, straight-line billiards,
and sometimes plays balkline against
his opponents straightline. His bill
lard playing is only one of the many
wonderful things this handless man
can do. He can write splendid
hand, is q good pen-and-ink artist
and seems to have developed emark-
able ability with his arms.

State about one hundred and fifty
thousand dollars to enact the laws,
print and issue the bulky volume
This may not be considered a great
item of expense to the taxpayers of

point. but we ought TO consider that
it may take several sessions of the
Legislature to patch up. amend and
repeal the many impracticable and
harmful enactmentS found in this
volume which may Increase the cost
to say six hundred thousand dollars.
In the meantime we should bear III
mind the unjust measures imposed
upon our citizens, the perpleXity en-.
tailed upon our courts that are main
tanned at Il large expense out of the
State treasures of State, county anC
municipal officials, in the interpreta
tion and administration of this grea'
volume of visionary legislation. Il
may be the time is at hand, when thu
makers can best serve the people
by opposing the enactment of laws
instead of introducing bills in order
to make their constituents thinl
they are doing something to carr

APPROVES TIE CHANGE.-Peter Nc
kinzie, prominent citizen at Mud
Bay, who was one of the jurors in the
case of Lasityr rs. the city, remarked
in the courtroom the next d ay after
the trial, that the delivery of the
type written instructions of the
court into possession of the jury is a
great improvement over the former
method, wherein they were simply
read by the judge to the jury,
frequently in monotone, which the
rumble of the street-cars sometimes
resolves into absolute incomprehensi-
bility; that now. from observation
and experience he can see the advan-
tage of having the instructions be-
fore them to make an intelligent APP
plication of the law to the facts in
volved in the controversy. Mr.. Nc
kinzie is an honorable man, gifted
with a greater measure of common
sense than theaverage man, and his
Judgment is, therefore, entitled to
consideration with men of affairs.

COLLECTION OF ALIMONY. In the
case of Eva Holcomb VS.. Augustus
II. Holcomb, the Supreme Court OF
this State decided, recently, that
when the husband was unable to pay
alimony awarded by the Superior
Court to the wife who had obtained a
divorce, it was error on the part OF
the lower court to imprison the de-
fendan. for failure to make the pay
ments of alimony as decreed in the
Judgment of divorce, on the ground
that no rule of law will compel per
son to do that which has become i'm
possible for him to do, and therefore
reversed the judgment OF the trial
court. The appellate court in this
case departed somewhat from Some
of its former rulings and considered
the opinion of the Judge of the SUI
perior Court rs it appeared in the
statement of facts. 1t had been con-
sidered, hitherto, that the opinions
of trial courts were not properly
matters of record in appeal cases.
