 An agreement has been entered into by Dfclxes for the four lawyers to take charge of the case on the diff csrent charges.
 An effort will be made to free Dick eps, 1t Is known and get him out on hail. and the attorneys on the other side are going to fight just as hard t keep him in jail unless he complies With the courts orders.

Think Of man in his family, hurried

strain! He has note coming due. and
it is going to be paid today, and he
feels buoyant, and he goes down on
his knees like cricket on the hearth
and piles up these majestically NOV
ing phrases about God. Then he goes
on to say that he is a sinner: he Is
proud to say that he is sinner. Then
he asks for his daily bread. He has
it. and he can always ask for 1t when
he has it. Then he Jumps up and goes
over to the city. He comes back at
night and goes through similar
wordy form Of evening prayer and
he is called ga praying man." A pray

The March of the Walters.

The old st. Nicholas hotel that -four
ished in New York, on Broadway, near
Spring street, put on more style than
any house of It's time. The walters
march was an evolution of which any
military command in the country might
have been proud. In those days the
head waiter was master Of tactics.
When the guests were seated he snap
ped his fingers, and in marched the
walters with tray loads Of eatableS.
Keeping perfect step, each marched to
his designated table and paused until
the head waiter snapped his fingers
twice. when down went the trays with
a rattle. At the signal of three snaps
covers were removed and dishes ar
ranged for the comfort and conven-
fence Of the guests. The army then
posed statuesquely until four snaps,
when 1t right about wheeled and re
treated to the kitchen. All meats, by
the way, were carved in the open din
ing room. The st. Nicholas carver
weighed about 800 pounds. He had
grown stout breathing the savory odors
of roasts. Inquisitive guests used &c
linger near to see him manipulate the
kntfo
