According to a phone message

the arrest of Mrs. Washburn and
her friends was a piece of spite
work. These people, who are we'll
known temperance workers. while
passing the Kendig grove near
Spar some days ago went in and
gathered a few oranges. Their wet
opponents, hearing Of it. had the
warrant sworn out and had them
arrested, probably with the desire
to humiliate thtem. They are all
perfectly respectable and response

and will do all he can to make
amends to the prosecuted parties for
the annoyance to which they have
been subjected" Report

Reused JUDGE From sIumber.

An excellent story is told of Lord
Chief Justice Coleridge. For the ben
eft of transporting readers, 1t should
be explained that dog when exhibit
ed is said to be ION the bench or
"benched At the trial of an action
for damages for running over a sheep
dog, a winner of many prizes, counsel
for the defendant was anxious to
prove that the dog had had its day,
and that the damages should be NOM
inal
Unfortunately, Lord Coleridge, who
was trying the case, had dropped of
to sleep, and the evidence was being
wasted. Counsels one chance was to
cause such a laugh in court as would
wake the Judge; 80, gradually raising
his voice, he asked one OF the plain
tits witnesses; rs 1t not your expe-
rience as an exhibitor that when an
old dog has taken his place regularly
on the bench for many years. he gets
sleepy and past his work.
Amid the roars of laughter which
ensued Lord Coleridge woke up with
a start, and judgment was eventually
given for the defendant.

Insurance Figures.

"Rich mems diseases" are no myth.
A life insurance company has been
classifying the death claims that 1t
paid last year. 1t finds that the men
who died of cirrhosis Of the liver were
insured on the average for a little
more than $1,000. Appendicitis
topped $4,000. and diabetes was high.
On the other hand. typhoid fever rep
resented only about $1,000, and tuber-
culosis about the same figure. 1Pre-
mature explosion Of blast" is not
listed as a disease by the company,

used to say that among his country
men it was the commonest ailment OF
all. Those who die of that are sell
dom insured at any figure.-Youth's

TO DRIVE OUT THE CURBSTONE
REAL ESTATE DEALERS

Curb stone brokers who infest
Miami in the winter season to the
great injury of the legitimate bust
ness of real estate dealers who pay
license to transact business, will
be the ubject of consideration at a
meeting of the real estate bureau of
the Chamber of Commerce tonight,
beginning at 1880.
1t is realized that this question is
one that is hard to handle, but the
dealers in Dade county dirt believe
the subject is sufficiently important
to demand attention at their hands
and they will endeavor to find the
solution of the problem.
Dealers who pay office rent the
year around, hire clerks and sales
men and stenographers, and above
all else pay their occupation taxes
believe they should be entitled to
some protection from fy-bynight

months in the balmy climate oil

penses while here.
1t is pointed out by the local men
! that if the curbstone brokers sue

take the money away with them
and Miami receives no benefit from
i it. whereas when the local dealers
succeed in making money they in
vest it in Miami property.-Miam
