Chapter XXI.

whirling through the brilliantly light
ed streets, Love looked triumphantly
at the life of sordid business and pro-
claimed itself immortal morn
ing Love is fainting and gasping on
the way. am almost longing for my
old quiet-my old independence. | am
afraid ! take things too seriously,
and, yet, sometimes think that my
very love for Dick and his for me
makes both of us more sensitive to
every impression. 81
Lovers nerves have been aptly
compared to strings of wind harp.
If you leave the strings of such an
instrument in a state of very loose
tension, they resemble the nerves of
ordinary mortals not in love, for it
takes very strong breeze to elicit
sound from them. But raise them to
a higher tension as are strung the
nerves of those greatly in love and
the faintest breath will set in unison
all the harmonies or send sounds
jangling through the air which will
hurt the very soul.
Keats has said: lis the pest OF
Love that fairest joys bring most I'M
rest"
think most of my unrest is be-
cause ! am not able to separate the
raptures of love from the annoyances
of every day. Dick can do this; he
can put his love away till he wants it,
but mine is always on parade to be
iostIed and hunt by the rabbIe of self
analysis and worry.
Men have such good forgotten
les" They are able to put out of their
lives anything which annoys them.
Dick was awfully angry at his |
mother this morning, but by tonight |
he will have forgotten all about it |
and he won't think of it again till |
he pays the bill she has charged to
him.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 1s.-From
time to time. as the various aetivi-
ties OF modern Industrial and civic
life progress. some new governmental
institution or some new business or
ganization springs into being which
appears to occupy a field which has
long lain fallow Such institutions
however, do not make their appear
ance except when a need for them
arises, and more often than not IN
vestigation will prove that the ex-
pectation of just such an institution
was in the minds OF the trainers OF
the Constitution of the United States
Pelatiah Webster. a slgner OF the
Declaration of Independence. and one
of the men who worked upon the con-
stitution. anticipated the great COM
mercial growth which would certainly
follow the permanent maintenance OF
such a government as the United
States. The business OF the nation
amounted to very little IN those days
compared with its tremendous volume
now, and the commercial interests
were of less importance then; but
-Pelatiah Webster anticipated the de-
velopment which has come and
worked hard to make provision for
its use In his famous dissertation
on the Constitution Webster says:
'There is another body of men

II, therefore, humbly propose. II the

disposed to send delegates from theh
1 body to meet and attend the sitting Of
Congress, that they shall be permit

Congressman Wafer. I Mccoy. Of Es-
sex county. Yesterday introduced a
bill in The House Of Representatives
that provides that The State Of New
Jersey shall constitute separate
federal judicial district ana that court

ton.
At present the only United States
District Court in the State is located
at Trenton. and all the lawyers in
the northern part Of the State have
to journey to the capital when they
have matters before that court. AS
the northern part of The State fur
nishes fully fonr-fifths Of the bust
ness Of the court Il can be seen that
hardship has been worked on the
greater majority Of lawyers in New
Jersey.
The United States District Court
handles all appeals in bankruptcy

ing to do with patents Under the bill
introduced by Congressman Mccoy,
court will be held in Newark in jan

J nDM[D unl0K[N
Man ASKS PARDON
is Friends, After 10 Years,
Will Try to Prove an
Alibi.

NEW YORK, Jan. 16.-Governor
Nnlzer will be asked to pardon John
Boehnann, a life prisoner In Sing
Sing, as newly discovered evidence,
ii is said. shows that he Is innocent
on the crime for which he was con-
victed in Brooklyn. and for which he
has been locked up eighteen years.
Two witnesses. Solomon S. Weinthal,
Al William street. Orange, and Albert
II. Schmidt, So Washington street,
Hoboken, n. T., have made affidavits
which prove an abb for Boehmann
1t appears that 1t would have been
impossible for him to have been in
Brooklyn at the time the crime was
committed. Had these two witnesses
come forth at his trial it is believed
he would have been acquitted
Boehmsnn was convicted in 1896 of
killing two men, one his best friend,
John Sein1s. a collector for a Man
haitian grocery house and who lived
near him in Hoboken, and the other
Henry Knoep, an acquaintance, who
had been employed as carpenter
and mason by Charles Wendt, a. con-
tractor in Hoboken. The two men
were found dead from gas poisoning
in room in Miller's Hotel, at Is
Broadway, williamsburg. About 500
known to have been carried by Seims
was missing, and the gas WAS flowing
from Jet when the bodies were
discovered.
Boehmann protested his innocence,
insisting that he was not in Brook
iyn at all that night, and that not
only was Seims his best friend, but
that he was also an intimate friend
of Seims's family and of the latter $
sister. He told how he had spent the
night of the murder in a music hall
which Weinthal was then running In
Hoboken, and at the special invita-
ton of the proprietor had remained
there until 1890 a. m. to see an I'M
usual dance. Weinthal could testify
to this, he said He says he svfif .
postal card to Weinthal, asking him
to come forward and clear him. but
received no reply.
Weinthal SAYS he offered at the
time to appear and testify, but was
never sent for, and supposed that the
attorneys for Boehnann did not need
him to clear the then young man.
Now. he and Albert II. Schmidt. one
of his employees, are willing to make
all the reparation possible for their
neglect OF him at the trial.
Three years after his admission
Boehmann says he realized the In
humanity and injustice of his con-
viction and sought to escape. This
is his only offense. and whether this
was the bar to his pardon Is what
his attorney wants to know.
