KING OF LIARS" SAYS WIFE
Professor Of Languages, Accused Of
Abandonment, Ordered to Pay
Family $40 a Week.

Mount Vernon, \. Y, Nov. "a
This man is the king of liars said
Mrs. Hugo Felsner in the court of
special sessions today, pointing to
her husband, arraigned before Judge
McKennel on a charge of having
abandoned her ana their th~ree-year-
old daughter.
Felsner is a professor of languages
in a public school at Whitestone, l..
t., and lives here at No. 34S North
Terrace avenue. In his own behalf
he testified that before their mar
riage his prospective bride had prom
ised to make all kinds of fine pud-
dings for him, but he had TO sweep,
wash the dishes, do the cooking and
feed the baby.
HE didn't want me to have any
style" said Mrs. Felsner. She assert
ed also that her husband had smash
ed her sewing machine and had bro
ken a bust form on which she shaped
her waists.
The professor explained that he
broke the bust because there was no
room for it in the house. He was
placed under $1,000 bond to pay his
wife SO a week, and in default of
a bondsman he was locked up.

TOU FAT To Be PUT IN A CELL
Connecticut Man Breaks Law by
Selling Liquor, but Is Let
Off With a Fine.

Hartford, Conn, Nov. 21.-Dan
Wadsworth profited again today by
the advantage he has ove every
other ordinary citizen in Connect
cut-he cant be put in a cell. Dan
weighs 43G pounds.
When a MAI is convicted for a
third time of selling liquor illegally
in this state il is customary to send
him to Jail rather than to impose a
fine. But when Dan was before
Judge Clark for sentence after con
viction Judge Clark could only i'm
pose a stiff fine.
Last winter after one of Dams pc
riodical convictions Sheriff Dewey
saw that he was gaining weight at
an alarming rate. The sheriff decid-
ed he would not run the risk of hay
ing to teal out a wall of the Jail. So,
with one man in back. another in
front, and the sheriff acting as a
sort of shoehorn. he gently wedged
in Dams bay window" and with a
"heave ho!" painfully landed Dan
outside and liberated him.

HON. JESSE i. YATES
Makes Formal Announcement OF
Candidacy for Court OF Grim
inal Appeals.

G~reenviiIe, Texas, NOV. %
Some time ago The Banner, in an
editorial, stated that it was thought
at the proper time Hon. j. P. Yates
OF this city would become a candi-
date in the democratic primaries next
year for associate justice of the court
OF criminal appeals. AT nat time
Judge Yates was out of the state,
and the announcement was made
without comforting with him, but
upon information gathered in his
rounds by the reporter. Since then
the bar Of this and a number OF 9th
er counties in this part of the state
have taken action endorsing him for
this position. In conversation with
a reporter today regarding his can
didacy Mr.. Yates said:
the people in the primaries Mex
year for the position named. An I'M
biased judiciary should be, and is,
the ideal OF all thoughtful citizens,
and will be the candidate of no
faction in our party. While our jul
dicial officers are selected in our
democratic primaries by democrats,
and | think very properly so, be-
cause | believe that our courts should
be imbued with democratic ideals.
yet, our judiciary should be as near
as can be non-partisan. No question
should be submitted for final settle
meut to a partisan or biased tribun-
al.
Thomas jefferson, the first great
apostle of democracy, left us a safe
rule to apply in the selection of Of
ficers. This rule of inquiry Is: First.
is the candidate honest? Second, Is
he capable? and third, will he sup
port the constitution? The qualifica-
tons suggested by these tests apply
to those seeking to serve the people
in all departments of government,
and seem to apply with special en-
phasis to those seeking to serve
them in the judicial department.
In fact. | do cot understand how
any one possessing the first quallfi-
cation named by Jefferson, could ap-
peal for support to any faction, or
class of people advocating II side
of any controversy, when he seeks
a position upon a court that is or
ganized to afford an unbiased tri-
bunal for the final adjudication or
matters growing out OF such contro-
versy. / can not be led to beheV
that the law abiding, liberty loving
and intelligent people Of u state
could be satisfied with any other
kind of judiciary.

try to investigate, and the capacity
to comprehend, the correct interpre-
tation OF the constitution adopted by
our people, and theFiaws enacted by

LIFE ISN'T WORTH LIVING.
When This Statement Is Made II
May BE Generally Attributed
to the Lack Of Good
Health.

We want to talk to people VIC
are nervous. who suffer frequent
headaches. who don't enjoy their
food, who are irritable, quickly lose
their temper, who are so exhausted
that they feel they must give up, and
have become so respondent that life
doesn't seem worth living. We be-
lieve we know what is the matter
with these people in this condition,
and if they will follow u advice W.
can tell them how to regain good
health and that ~buoyancy Of feeling
which makes life seem surrounded
with happiness and sunshine.
Most Of the above described con-
ditions are chiefly caused by wha@
is commonly called catarrh, a be
low par condition of mucous mem
bra mes. This delicate lining Of CO.
tain OF the body activities become
weakened, inflame.t ana congested
until the whole system is w~eakened,
mental depression ensuing ms one
ot the results. The wise ''ay &c over
come this condition is through a
treatment of the general syestem.
We have the treatment, and we are
so positive it will produce the results
we claim for it that we will supply
il to any one with the understanding
that We will return to them every
penny paid us in every instance

TRAMPS USE JAIL As A HOTEL
Prisons Commission Learns That
They Come and Go at VIII in ID
Red Hook, n. Y.

Albany, n. Y. Nov. 21.-An in
spection of the lookup at Red Hook,
Duchess county, disclosed the fact
that tramps are shown where the
Jail is located and are allowed TO go
in and out as they please, the con-
stable not being permitted to arrest
them, in the interest of economy.
This was brought out in reports of
the state prisons commission, made
public today.
DR.. Charles F. Howard, Of Buffa-
10, president of the commission, Sc
verely criticizes the condition of 4
majority of the police station houses
of Buffalo, saying: whoever is re-
sponsible for the deplorable condi-
ton now existing deserves the CEN
SUR of every taxpayer whose money
contributed to the erection of these
buildings"
DR.. Howard said thai if Mayor
Adam did not have the time to assist
in the management of the police de-
partnent he should have asked for
legislation to relieve him from the
responsibility of it.
In a report on an inspection OF
the New York City w~orkhouse on
Blackwell's Island, the secretary,
Mr.. George Mclaughlin, says there
are about a hundred and fifty old
men and about two hundred old
women in this institution who should
be in the almshouse.

The stomach of a dyspeptic is
oyerworked and run down. 1t needs
help to digest the food. but more

DEATH OF MIR. SMITH
ALABAMIAN IN FEDERAL SERVICE
 AT WASHINGTON.
Huntsville Man Was Auditor of Inter- state Commerce Commission and Resided in Montgomery
 Some Time.

Washington, March 1l.-(Special. )- The friends of Jesse B. Smith were greatly shocked today to hear of his rather sudden death which occurred at 3:30 q. m. at the George Washington University Hospital.
 He had been sick for about two weeks.- but none of his friends thought hs was in the least danger. The nurse was giving him nourishment when suddenly he collapsed. his taking off being due to heart failure.
 As ia wen known in Alabama. Mir. Smith was 'and had been for about twenty years Auditor of the Interstate Commerce Commission. having been first appointed as Assistant Auditor while Capt. John Bragg of Alabama was a member of the Commission.
 Before coming here he was in the freight department of the Louisville and Nashville Railroad at Montgomery. and the offer came from the commits sion without solicitation on his part or political influence.
 He was regarded as an expert on railroad tariff and rates. and for that reason and because of his probity he was selected for the responsible posi- ton at the headquarters of the com mission in this city. Mir Smith was born in Lincoln County. Tenn. in August. 1s4e. but was reared from DoynOod at nuntSVliiei Ala. He began his railroad service un- der the direction of Mfr. Culp. now the Fourth vice-President of the Southern Railway, the two men having been boys together. He became widely known as an authority on railroad mat ters. Mir. Smith served short while as a soldier in the Confederate Army near the close of the war. He was un- married.
 HIS brother, Thomas W. Smith. May or of Huntsville. Ala, came here to see the auditor last week. but as no serious results of his illness were fear cd he left for his home Saturday. The turn for the worse in Mir. Smiths con- dition came Monday.
 Besides his brother. Thomas Smith. Mir. Smith Is survived by a sister, Mrs. Mary Bailes of Huntsville. and a step brother, William S. Halsey. for many years freight agent of the Southern Railway, but now Assistant Secretary of the Southeastern Freight Associa. tion at Atlanta. MT. Halsey Is here now and will &C., company the remains to Huntsville. where the burial wll take place. Alfred !. Stofer.
