CONSTABLE In
LAWS MESHES

Floyd Hewitt, of Wildwood, n. j..
was charged with perjury on a war
rant taken out by Mahlon B. Foster
after Hewitt had made a statement
that the firm Of Smith and Berkeley
owed him $50 wages and who was
tried on Saturday in City Court, was
dismissed by Judge Cochran in court
this morning. The defendant who
was represented by Philip L. Garrett,
was then arraigned together with
Lucius c. Jones, a county constable,
lently talking a boat the Ocenia,
from the harbor of Wilmington. Mr..

PENDANTS
Mahlon B. Foster was the first wit
ness and he producer a lease for the
vessel for three weeks at IS a week.
This was signed by Hewitt as agent
for the Coast Transportation Com

Isaac Gear, who was placed aboard
the vessel as watchman with Charles
Myers said that while the boat was al
Shipley street wharf Jones, Hewitt
and another man came there in a

heard Hewitt say that the engine
would not work as water was in the
oil. but Jones said ''let the boat drift
into the stream"
Hewitt then took the stand and said
he was the master Of the boat and
had signed the lease. At this point
Mr.. Garrett attempted to show that as
the rent for the boat had been paid
for the first weeks use of the vessel
the lease had been broken and it was
for this reason that Mr.. Robinson, tn,
owner, ordered the boat to be re
moved by Hewitt The court object

been broken. Mr.. Garrett then con.
tended that If Foster was the mac.e
Of the vessel he would have had tC

William r. Murphy, bridge tende

Secular News Of the Week.

The fifth telegraphic bulletin issued
by the Canadian Department of Agri-
culture states that grain crops are in
good condition. Wheat is twenty
inches in height and in some districts
as high as thirty-eight inches, and on
heavy land and summer fallow is
tending to rankness. In the Moose
Jaw district the straw blade promises
to be short. Early sown wheat is al
ready beginning to head. Fields in the
Swift Current district are fully headed
out. There is sufficient moisture to
carry the crops through to harvest ex-
cept, perhaps, in scattered areas in the
northwest district.
That the Minnesota roads are ready
to grant rate privileges such as were
allowed prior to the enactment of the
2-cent passenger rate law is shown by
tariff published by the Chicago,
Milwaukee & st. Paul Ry. providing
for rOund-trip party excursion rates,
effective August 1. This is the first
formal announcement of the railroads
to restore the rates that previously
prevailed. The rates will apply to
stations in Minnesota, South Dakota
and Michigan with $50 miles radius.
For parties of 100 or more one fare
for the round trip will be charged.
For 200 or more, the rates will be ac-
cording to an established schedule.
For instance, where the regular one
way fare will be $40 to $3.50, the
excursion fare will be $3.50. Special
trains for 100 or more full-fare tickets
may be run on other days than Sun
day, provided the revenue is not less
than the minimum charge of $50. The
roads will be allowed to make any
rate they please, providing the tariff
is properly filed. For Sunday school
children's picnics the rate of 500 a
mile one way mileage may be made
per coach, for not less than four
coaches in special trains with mini
mum of SIS per coach. Coach rates
will be made on the basis of not more
than seventy-five children or adults in
each coach.

because of the confidence which peo-
pie repose in him as priest. In re-
gard to these matters, however, as
well as to all information that comes
to him outside the confessional, the
secrecy to which he is bound is much
the same as that of other professional
men such as lawyers, doctors. etc.
1. If a Catholic who has an insur-
ance policy in the Catholic Order of
Foresters obtains a divorce is the
policy cancelled and the person drop
ped? 2. Is it true that in oIden times
the priests used to whip the members
of their congregations? 3. If person
wishes to take out policy in the
Catholic Order Of Foresters and there
is no court in the town in which he
lives, what must be done?
1. The mere fact of securing d.
vorce does not cancel ones policy in
the Catholic Order of Foresters. 2. 1t
is safe to say that any attempt to do
this on a wholesale scale would be
attended with disastrous consequences
for the priest. 3. We would suggest
the establishment of court in your
home town if it be at all possible.
If this cannot be done you are at lib
erty to join the nearest court. For
full information in regard to these
matters write to Mr.. George w. STEM
ger, State Secretary of the c.. O.. F.,

1. If priest advises his .penitent
in confession not to tell the sins of
her past life which she has already
confessed lest she becomes scrupuIous
what is she to do If she doubts that
she told the circumstances which
might make these sins more grievous?
Would it not be better to tell them
regardless of whether they were told
before or not?
/. If there is serious doubt as to
whether or not a sin or sins of the
past have been properly confessed it
is advisable to take the matter up
with ones confessor and abide by his
decision. The repetition of sins al,
ready confessed is not required in con-
fession and may be the means of in
ducing or increasing scrupulousness

to the British foreign Office respective
cases on the Alsop claim, which
were submitted to King George as
arbitrator. The claim is based upon
large sums of money advanced to the
Bolivian government in 1874, while
agreeing to assume the obligations of
Bolivia to the company when Africa
passed to Chile. The claim amounted
to $1,500,00O.

A Square Deal Wanted.

The Sioux City Tribune says that
food stuffs can be produced in Iowa
as cheaply as in Canada and that,
therefore, no tariff is necessary. For
labor cost that is probably true, but
the man who goes into farming in
Iowa has to pay 500 fer his land,
while up in Canada he can get it for
from So to $50 per acre. The price
of the land makes some difference
in the cost of producing. There is
just as much difference in the cost
of producing farm products as there
is in the cost of producing shoes in
Canada and in the United States.
If we are prepared for free trade in
farm products we ought to be pre-
pared for free trade in all products.
There is no reason why the social
ed finished products of New Eng
land should be protected while the
so-called raw" products of Iowa are
not protected. This is a good place
to apply the ancient doctrine of a
square deal.-Cedar Rapids Repub-
lican.

Iowa,s Junior senator.

Many are the stories told these
days about LATE Young, who has
risen to national fame in his effort
to become permanent Senator. But
there is one that has not found it's
way into print, and that is of the
time he literally brought down the
house with one of his happy
speeches. Away back in 1893 Mr..
Young in the capacity of speaker
and jollier extraordinary, accompan-
led the Iowa Editorial Association
on a jaunt through the south. 9th
er silver tongues, including Secre-
tary of State Mcfarland and Col
"Al' Swain, were with the excur-
sion, but none of them could equal
Mr.. Young in extemporaneous speak
ing. Dragged from his Pullman
berth at midnight and clad per-
haps only in his robe de mutt, the
Capital man could go to the back
platform and get off a speech that
would make the welkin ring every
time it was in the neighborhood and
cause the good Southerners to go
back to their touches firmly con-
vinced that they were loved as long
lost brothers. The people of Florida
were especially hospitable toward
the Iowans, and at Tallahassee the
fine old Capitol was thrown open
for their comfort. AS usual, the
future Senator was urged to a speech
and as usual he cheerfully complied.
After he had safely buried the hat
Chef and Numbered the bloody shirt
to everybody's satisfaction, and just
in the midst of his peroration,
large section of the heavy stucco
ceiling loosened, presumably by the
unusual eloquence and came crashing
down about the speakers ears.
There was great CONSERVATION
among the audience, but after the
cloud of dust had subsidized, the re-
doubtable LATE was seen standing in
the midst of the wreck endeavoring
to regain the distracted attention of
his hearers, and no more perturbed
by the unusual interruption than he
would have been by the applause
he had been striving for. Such was
the fame engendered by this extra
ordinary demonstration of the pow
ers of his eloquence that during the
remainder of the trip no one but
LATE got chance to say a word.

A Pleasing Recital.

The audience which assembled at
the Methodist church on Friday ev-
ening heard one of the most enjoy
able concerts given in the city in
long time. Prof. Barnum, violinist,
of the state university, scored even
greater laurels than on his former
appearance here. He is becoming a
great violinist, and his rendition of
difficult masterpieces was highly sat-
isfactory in every way. Mrs. Marsh
was, as always, very acceptable
accompanist, which added much to
the merit of the program, as did
the numbers of Miss Marie Rogue,
who has become a pianist of ac-
knowledged ability.
