At the regular session of the Third district court, Friday, Judge Oliver H. Williams passed sentence in the cases against Mary Campbello. who was pre- viously adtudged guilty of assault upon MrA. Jennie Howard and Mrs. Iva Wheeler. A fine of band costs of $1O. 10 we're imposed in each case. The accused, her husband and four chil- dren were in court and, owing to the delicate condition of Mrs. Campello, the judge was as lenient as was pos sible under the circumstances. The accused was unable to pay the fines and costs, and upon request of her counsel, John J. Dunn, she was placed in parole in his custody for one week to give her opportunity to settle with the court.
 Mrs. Campello is of the party that came from New York to work in the Westerly Shirt factory and who re- gently went on strike, and she, with other women strikers. was assigned to picket duty and intercepted Mrs. How ard and Mrs Wheeler on the White Rock road when on their way to the factory where they are employed. It was at this time that the assault was committed.
 As non-payment of fines and costs means jail sentence, Mrs. Campello would have been committed to jail pending payment, but for the humane action of Judge Williams. The arrest of the woman had the effect of quiet ing the disturbance in connection with the labor trouble at the mill and some who went out on strike have been permitted to return to work.

The rendition of that sacred and pop
ular musical selection, The Seasons, -
termed cantata, by the Primitive

ium of the church on Tuesday evening,
was the peer of any musical feast ever
given in our city. Twenty-Five musical

The readings interpreted by Miss
Roy of Darlington were well rendered
and pleasing and deserve unlimited
praise.
Professor Alderson's fourteen-piece
proved one of the many good
features of the program.

and that it is just as honorable to
swing the hammer or to hold pillow as
il is to make speech in court or to
amputate limb The lesson young
men should be taught as early as posi-
bic is that it is not SO much what a
man does for living as how he does
il, and that manual labor is as honora-
bic as any other.
Every time a man exerts control
over himself in any way -oyercomes
passion, restraints temper, gives up
some self-indulgence, masters his tongue
when it would speak foolishly or I'M
kindly, compels concentration, or in
any way does the wiser, harder thing,
instead Of following the course Of least
resistance, he streng his whole
character and increases his ability to
do not only that particular thing, but
each and everyone of things again.

ANOTHER DISTRESSING ACCIDENT
VIM. Gilman Falls About Thirty Feet
from Scaffold and Sustains Broken
Leg and Fractured Shoulder Blade.

| This happened on Tuesday morning
about II O'Clock Mr.. Gilman, a car.
penter was engaged in repairing the
outer parts of the roof of the three
story GRADER building. At the corner
of the building facing High and Chest
nut streets he undertook to decend
from the roof to the scaifold This
could be done by letting himself drop
about foot, which he did. Mr.. Gill
mann being a fairly heavy man the jar
was more than the scaffold proved able
to withstand, and he was precipitated
to the ground. distance of about thir-
ty feet.
The result was broken left thigh
bone and bad fracture of the right
shoulder blade He was picked up from
a reclining position on the second step
from the ground of the iron stairway
at the side of the building and how Mr..
Gilman escaped instant death is one
of the mysteries. 1t is thought that
guy wire, a sign and long wide board
which stood on end interceded in some
way to impede the rapidity of the fall.
1t is an occurrence greatly to be re-
GREETED and calls forth the unbounded
sympathy of the community.
Working as an assistant to Mr. Gill
mann and on the scaffold at the time
was Mr.. Thos. Libby, who perchance
had his elbows on the edge of the roof
as the scaifold gave way. Luckily Jos.
H. Stephenson happened to be on the
roof as lookeron and grabbed ahold
of Libby and aided him to climb onto
the roof. By these means it appears
that another man was saved from
terrible fall and possibly death.

In a magazine article and not from an

Silent is described as having auburn
hair and Savanarola as having red
dish e%yelashes. while Thomas Hobbies
Is referred to az having yellowish-
reddish whiskers. 1t will be remem-
bered that the hair Of U. s. Grant Is
given as reddish. brown and that Of.
Peter the Great as ruddy- brown. The
case of Swinburn is thus the single in.
stance of red hair in our lists il our

FACTS BEHIND POE'S STORY. I
-.
Real Montlnartre Murder Mys.
terry Has Never Been
EXDlained.

(From a Foreign Exchanee.)

(From a Foreign Exchange.)
The mystery of the murder in the
Rue Montmartre differs from all 9TH
er criminal mysteries In being abso-
lutely unexplainable by any known
rules Of logic or reason.
True 1t is that at least three en-
thralling detective stories. by az many
world-famous authors, have been writ
ten round the crime. with q view to
showing. under the guise Of romance.
how concefvably it might have been
committed. In each instance. howev.
er, the, solution put forward does not
fit In with the known facts of tho
tragedy.
But here is the true story. Let the
reader Judge for himself.
The victim was q woman Of some-
what doubtful reputation named Rose
Delacourt. who dwelt by herself in a
sinEle-room fiat situated at the top Of
q big apartment house in the Mont
martre quarter of Paris.
She usually rose about loon. when
her iandlady was In the habit Of
knocking at her door. with q cup Of
coffee. Ono day. however. the land
lady knocked in vain. She could get
no answer. This not unnaturally
alarmed her. because she had reason
to know that the woman val inside
and hat she had no one with her. The
Iandlady waited until 3 o'clock in the
afternoon. Then she called the police,
who broke open the door. IT,.
They found Rose Delacourt lying In
