WASHINGTON MAN
GETS YEAR In JAIL
William Beall Sentenced for
Threats by Letter.

New York. Dec. S3.-In an effort 10 do
a favor for a friend. DR.. George f.
Spaeth, manager OF a drug store, put THAI
friend in a bad light in the Court of
Sessions to-day. The friend was William
f. Beall, a lineaI descendant of Ethan
Allen. and member OF a good family in
Washington. d. c.
Beal vas convicted on Tuesday OF
sending threatening letters and an in
fernaI machine to DR.. Markar 6. Dadir-
rian, manufacturer OF a milk preparation
Judge Rosalsky called Bean to the bar
to-day for sentence.
1t became known then that Dr. Spaeth,
who knows Judge Rosalsky. called him on
the telephone last night and intereeded
for Beall. saying he was married. had
two children, and always bore a good
reputation UP to the time he lost all his
money in the manufacture of a milk
preparation which he tried to put on the
market in competition with Dadirrian's 5.
DIT. spaeth added that Beall had said lie
wrote the letters TO Dr. DadirTian in pur-
sl.ance of his idea of a good joke.
Judge Rosalsky asked DIT. Spaeth to
be In court to-day. When Bean stood
IN for sentence, the judge asked him
if he had ever told any one he had
written letters to Dir. Dadirrian. 8eal
replied. positively. that he had never
written threatening letters TO Dadirrian
and had never told any one he had writ
ten such letters.
Dr. Spaeth, somewhat discounted, was
then put on the stand. Beall had not
seen him in the court room previously.
The witness was sworn and he repeated
substantially what ne told Judge Ro-
salsky last night.
Beall was then sentenced TO one year
in the penitentiary on Blackwells
Island
Beall was first arrested in December,
1897 and the newspapers published ac-
counts of his arrest on facts given out
ny the police. The grand jury failed TO
indict him, and he sued the newspapers
for libel
Two newspapers compromised with
BeaIl. Others fought the case and ac-
cUmulated evidence through reporters
that not only beat the libel suit. but
caused Bealrs rearest, indictment. and
conviction.

New York. Dec 3.-It hasn't been a
perfectly good year to put it mildly for
the brokers, but when Wall street came
North late this afternoon. via the under
ground cocktail route, to so home and
rest during their Christmas weekend they
were happy and satisfied.
For. TO mention few. Brokers Charley
Knobiaueh, once OF the Rough Riders

Clarke who once was a coxswain of a
Yale varsity crew, had seen a day in the
stock exchange more glorious than has
been seen on the last day before the

Even the doWncast curb brokers out in
Broad street had caught the feel OF the
season. As Percy Guard put it, THE
year has been rotten" Anyway, it's true
that only about three-quarters as many
curb brokers have been kept IN line by
the traffic cops this year as were out
on the asphalt last year.
Brokers Forget Troubles.
Nevertheless, the curb brokers forgot
their troubles so much to-day that they
rode Percy Guard up and down Broad
street ~ - wheeIbarrow, and though
financially they felt down and out, the
curb brokers raised a purse of q, 100 and
something to distribute among their mes
sengers.
Last year the purse-with . per cent

nues. Through some strange coinci-
dence. watermelon season always
brings out more misdemsanor cases
than any other time OF the year and
the police court ofYicials have come to
look for big revenues during this time.
The watermelons cause the trouble
among the negroes" declared one ON :
cial, Tuesday, "coons will fight over
dem melons and we always have many
difficulties to settle In court
The revenues for last month were
the biggest In costs and fines ever re-
ceived in the police court. This state.
ments was made by Justice Crutch-

Tuesday. You can say for me-" said
the Justice. that this ls the biggest
amount ever turned in from this court,
within my recollection. There may
have been one bigger but IL so don't

the fines. they only know that II comes
in and that watermelon season brings
II big revenues every year.

Antiquity Of Gold Leaf.

example, in connection with the most
ancient known mummies. having been
used Tor coverig teeth, tongue. skin.
etc. Sometimes 1t II also found on
the coffins and monuments Of an

gold leaf has thus been known since
tho eighth century B. c. In the
eleventh century 1t seems to have at

as to-day. The gold leaf on some

thin as that now used.--Commerce
