Ym Sorry For Her,” Platt Says, Concerning Woman Who Sued Him. New York, May —Mae C. Wood, who gued Senator Thomas ©, Plats ‘or divorce, was arrested {mmedi itely after a decision was returned {n favor of the aged Senator, and was committed to the City Prison antlla bond of $5,000 fa furnished or her release. Justice O'Gorman, in announcing ats decision, sald: “YT cannot credit the plaintiff's ev! ‘ence as to her marriage. The testl- mony impresses the Court as & most wicked design to support a fictitious claim by forgery and perjury. I can- nos belleve from the evidence that where ever wasa marriage. On the merlts of the caseeverything resolves tself against the plaintiff. “Boing impressed with the platn- /iff's guilt of perjury, the Court com- mits her to the (ity Prison, there to be beld until she provides ballin the sum of $5,000,” The decision caused the greatest kind of a sensation. The “old timers,’ who were in the front row every day to smile when something avorable to Senator Platt transpir- ed, made no effort to conceal their oy. : ‘Mae Wood was overwhelmed with astonishment. She had expected a decision in her favor, but when, in -#ddition to losing her cause, she was erdered placed under arrest she al- most fainted. “I cannot understand this,” she sald. “Such a decision {s unheard of, Iwas noton trial. How canl seconvicted of perjury? Iam not ‘shrough with this case yet, as Sen- ator Platt willlearn.

Time was, and notso long ago atthat, when an editor wasa champion of the people’s rights, a moulder of public opinion, a guide, & teacher, a leader. His calling was as distinctly marked and mapped out as that of the profesor or theclergy. man, and his power was perhaps greater than elther of them. He was seldom a wealthy man, seldom a mere mouth-piece of the counting- room downetalrs, seldom manedit- ing his paper in the interests of {ts circulation. He often took the trust reposed in him most seriously, shouldered his responsibilities to the community, worked hard all his life, and died {n his editorial chair, a man respected, anda forcefor de- cency and righteousness. Bus how, now? What responsi bility 1s accepted by the editor of the average metropolitan dally, except the obvious duty of making possible @ large return on {invested capital? What sort of a guide, teacher, and leader {s to be found at the editor's desk of the average yellow journal, daily or weekly? The proprietors, through their editors, talk glibly to labor ofits ‘rights; and they de nounce trusts, corporations, and millionaires as octopuses and finan- cial buccaneers, but what about their own trust methods and the millions that they themselves have amassed? They blow hot and cold with equal facility and, ostensibilty, they are the absolute servants of the people, defenders of the rights of the poor and the oppressed, loud criers for justice and equality; but if the justice they demand for others were meted out tothemselves they would not survive {ts execution.

A, Sinclair returned from Savannah, Ga, where he attended the funerai of his aunt, Mre. Mary MeNetill Oa the- train with Siaclair was Secresary Taft and threeattend ants, two white men and a negro foe S-cretary and his party boarded vhe train at Charleston, 8. C., having r turned from a trip to Panama, and belng then on their way to Washing- on. The Secretary ordered four covers laid on his table for dinner. On ac count of the considerable bulk of the Secretary, it was found necessary to extend the table, which ueually a> commodated four people, In order that the party may find seats about it. As the blg man and his three companions appeared in the dining car and were preparing to take their seats, the conductor of the train ap- peared and quietly {nformed Mr. fats shat in South Carolina, where the “Jim Crow” lawe are stringent, colored people are required to walt until all the whites on the train have completed their meal before they are allowed to eat. The negro companion of the Secre- tary was forced to retire, in spite of the pr: teste of Mr. Taft, This ts considered to be a rather high bid on the part of the Secretary for the So thern negro vote. It re- uiains to be seen whether the black man can be won back to him by such bait. The breaking down of social lines will not have a tendency to popularize the Secretary with the white voters {n the South.

Pullman, Neb., May 25 —Bob Ellsworth,” a handsome young tow- puncher, who has been riding the range {In Northwestern Nebraska for nearly two years, has turned out to be a woman and {s now the wife of “Jim” Spearman, with whom she has worked for the last ten months, Wearlng the apparel of a cowboy, her hair cropped close to her head and her face bronzed by exposure, the young woman, whose name ts Minnie Turner, was believed to bea man by everybody who worked and associated with her, save the young cowboy who is now her husband. To him she revealed the secret of her sex immediately after they be came acquainted. She revealed it under a pledge of secrecy, however, and she continued to wear her dis- guise and to pass as & man untila day or two ago, when she and her fiance mounted thelr bronchos and set off to be married. They have gone to the Pacific Coast on a wedding journey and will reside in Montana when they return. Girl Found on U. S. Boat.

Whittier of New York did not die of heart disease, as was supposed, but that he was scalded to death in a bath tub. While bathing Gen. Whittier was seized with a fit.
