HOW THE RACKERS LOOKED. When the three policy backers came into court they looked a little less concerned thin they did last week when a heavy jail sentence Daniel J.

A CHANGE OF PLEA. ‘The current business of the court was sus- pended to make way for the policy case and as Lawyer Smith advanced to the front the interested spectators craned their necks and sought positions near the judge's bench, that they might hear what was said. y it please your honor,” said Mr. Smith, addressing Judge Miller, “in the case of Hor- Dach and others before the court for viola the policy law I desire to withdraw the plea not guilty and enter a plea of guilty for the de- fendant.or, if it suite the court better, the Jory might be instructed to return a verdict of gutlty.” “Then,” said the court, “you simply say that you will ‘not further contend against the proof Offered in the cane?” “Yes, sir.” replied counsel. Jags Miller, turning to the Jary, told them that the defense would make no further eon- tention im the case, and, in accordance with their ebange of plea and the proof already in, be directed that they return their verdict. Clerk Potts patted the jury after the jurrmen bad retarned « verdict of guilty ant each of the twelve men responded when his name was THE QUESTION OF SENTENCE. ‘Mr. Muilowney then addressed the court in the matter of sentence. He said he bad re- ectved a letter from the District Attorney di- Tecting him to ask that the court impose fines on two of the defendants and to suspend @entence as to the other. For reasons Within the knowledge of the district attorney he said he mace tae request, as that course was thought! the proper one in the administration of stice. Judge Miller mid he could not impose sen- tence and then suspend. as such a course would render the sentence inoperative. The proper Way, he thought, would be to suspend sentence | on personal rec ance and then, if the ne- comity ab: ny fnture time, the sen- peration. “In the letter from the district attorney to be Gilied in the case “No, your boner, Bev Continuing Mr. «quired the Judge. answered, Mr. Mullo: Mullowney said the bugges- BALDWIN AND KING. tion was tha®King and Baldwin be fined $125 and the costs of the prosecution and that sen- tence be snspedded as to Horbach.

Colliflower, one of the men ar- rested in Baltimore, appeared as complainant and he swore to an information which reads as follows: THE INFORMATION. Charles C.

Mullowney, esq., one of hfe assistants, comes here into court, at the county and District aforesaid, on the 26th day of October, in the year of our Lord 1892, in this said’ term and for the ‘said United States, gives the court here to understand and be informed on the oathof one Jerome R.

The officers were notified that the charge had been filed against them and they appeared with their counsel and the court fixed bail at $500 as to each of them. They were not taken in custody, but were given time in which to give the required bond. Lawyer Sillers said to # Star reporter that the case against his cliente was only one result of che falling out of the policy men. Hiscliente, he said, would be able to prove thetr innocence without half trring. He said he would give bail for them this afternoon and he supposed the case would be set for trial next week. ee CLERKS AND THEIR VOTES. A Refusal to Register Them in Chieago Raises teresting Question. A dispatch from Chicago states that the ques- tion has been raised in that city as to whether government clerks employed im this city can vote in the precinets in which they once lived. The dispatch further states that the right to register was denied » number of clerks when they applied. This information was read with a good deal of interest here, as, naturally, there are a large number in this city who ate concerned in the question as to whether government employes have a right to vote. For years past there has hardly been an election where this point bas not been raised, and it is therefore no new subject to 0 have in the service government — for any length A number of the states have pro- their constitutions that persons in the of the government and living in sball retain their domicile xy claimed residence before re- moving to this city. In other states no such legal guarantee as to the rights of govern- ment employes has been made, and hence, such votes are constantly being challenged. re is no law of Congress on the subject of the qualifications of voters and nothing in the Con- tion.except the amendment which prevents a state from depriving men of the right of suf- frage because of race. color ot previous condi- tion of servitude. With this solitary exception is is claimed each state has the absolute power to determine the qualifications of voters in elec- tions for members of Congress and for Presi- dent. as well as in state elections. It 1s claimed however by those who are familiar with the decision of the courte that the qualifications usually fixed such as resi- dence in the preeinct #0 many days before the condi election and other similar 1) are held by the courts not to apply to government employes for reason that « person entering the service of the government accepts a temporary employment End therefore dose not loss bis domicile, ak. though he may actually reside in Washington and continue there for a number of years. A man who has been in the government service for a number of years said todey that about | ten years ago bill was introduced into the | Senate which was designed to give legal ex | sion to this interpretation. It was relette to which had at that | the committee on jodiciary, time «uch members as Mr. Edmunds and Mr. Thurman and an elaborate report was made. The committee recommended that the bill be not passed for the reason that numerous opin- fons of the courts fully settled the question. It is believed that there has nothing further been attempted in this line, and it i also aight that attempts to deprive government ployes of their right of suffrage belongs to | electioneering methods which are apt te prevail | just before an election. > FINED FIFTY DOLLARS.

Watrous, anid Mr. Du Bois, admitted the accusatio® confessing that he had forged Seville’s name and also the names signed to at least a dozen other notes, amounting altogether to several huudred dollars. The scheme alleged by Mr. Du Bois to have been worked by Watrous was the making of forged notes | and then having them discounted by him (Du Boia). Watrous, said Mr. Du Bois, would have the bank notices sent to bis (Watton's) address ana would regularly pay interest.

From the Atlanta Constitution. ‘The private soldiers had so few privileges during the war that it does me good to mention for the first time in print an incident of the sioge of Petersburg. There aro a plenty yet | living of the old soldiers who can tell you that | the question of “storming” or ‘‘not storming” | the Yankee works at Petersburg by night was | left to a vote of the privates. -| T forget dates, it has been so long, but it was Justa short while before the confederates left | theif trenches and started on the nine days’ re- | treat which ended at Appomattox. | It had been well known for some time that | Lee could not hold out against Grant much | longer unless, by taking some desperate chance, advantage might be gained to the confederates, Acouncil of officers wax held, and while, of | course, Ido not know what bappened in that Ido not know that it became under- crt ment among the officers, and, failing to agree, they compromised by leaving the question ot storming the Yankee works at night to the decision of the private: a thing se unusual that it cast «shadow over their hop | On the day betore the vote was to be taken at | nightt the bushes, rubbish and brash were or- dered cleared or leveled in the ravine between | the two armies.

Anyhow, the confederates got through with their work and went buck to their camps with- | out any trouble, bat fally confident that it was ‘8 preparation to chargo, all ignorant of what | turn matters were to tuke. When night approached and the officers Strange to ray, th | quietly bid the men to fail in, you may wonder at the surprise of all privates when they were told that all commissioned officers would retire | from their presence and that privates should | decide by ballot among themselves aa to whother the Yankee works should be attempted by storm | ‘upon that very night. | A little incident happened Just as the com- | missioned officers retired, and none of us can say to what extent it bore upon the action of the privates, The mail bad arrived —letters from hou to the brave soldier boys, an unex- pected thing just at thnt timo, for it was so early to get the mails then. The arrival of | theve letters from home stopped all other thought, and the men gathered in groups around their orderly sergeants anxiously listen- | ing to the names upo: envelopes to be calléd out. An each man received his letter he hastened from the group to some little fire light, and down upon hiv knees be broke the seal and read the contents. Soon there were | many kneeling mon round the fires through the camps, and as now and then one wonld reach up and punch up the chunks you could ee the tears glistening in his eyes. This busy world may laugh at this—ye men who read as you run—but it was no laughing matter there that night. There wore letters from home; news from the dear wives and the little childrén, from the old fathers and moth- ers, and from ‘the aweetheurte who were never to be seen again. Dear heart« and dear thonglits of the old home and of the childhuod p ground—but never mind. no one can feel how this was but the old soldicrs themselves, and they have mort all paxsed away or are getting too old to read. But 4 vote must be take if the fight wus not to be made, or a ballot of “yes” if it waa.

Ido not «nppose that he is much of a seaman, but he was formerly always enter- | taining, or being entertained by, naval officers, and his manners took a color from theirs. He | manages to keep up jovial spirits under de pressing circumstances, which I think credit- ‘able to him. Comte de Bari, his nephew, hae found consolation for personal and family losses and crosses in marriage with a lady of the corps de ballet, and has adopted a son who is nearly his own age, to the great dixgust of the ex-king. In Italian law the adoptee is a mem- ber of the Bourbon family, whatever he may be 1m blood, and is supposed by it to be a grand- son of the illustrious Archduke Charles and of Ferdinand II of Naples. —— ++ ______ CHEESES WITH FOREIGN NAMES however, makes up well ties und bas a touch pleasant. He drew a Manufactured, of Excellent Quality, in the United States. From the New York Sun. Simple folk who pride themselves upon their gastronomic taste are sometimes heard to speak scornfully of American cheeses, but pers haps in nine cases out of ten they eat and praise as an excellent example of the foreign product a cheese that never crossed the ocean. Camembert and Brie are the only soft cheoses that are imported in considerable quantity, and even they are manufactured in the United States. You may buy at this season a so-called Camembert cheese with an elaborate foreign label, but as 4 matter of fact little, if any, of the imported article is sold here between May and October. Camembert usually reaches the jew York market ten ot twelve days from the factory, and some of it spoils on the way if the weather be hot for the season. It comes over in the swi ips from Havre, and what {a brought in one ship is pretty w before another arrives. It_is confensed that the native Camembert Brie are not #0 good as the foreign atticl but the cheesemakers of New York and New Jersey have come at length to produce admira- ble Roquefort and good imitations, if they may s0 called, of many other famous forei cheeses. The French cheesomakers, with tl conservatism characteristic of rural Eu: have neglected to adapt their products to the American market. The Brie cheese from abroad, for example, comes in a large disk that | juts it beyond any but those who consume it in loge quantities, whereas the native Brie is made in small cakes that may be purchased for family use. The sale of Gorgonzola cheese, which is still imported, is much smaller than it would otherwise be if made in smaller parcels. Only two or three English cheeses are now im- ted in large quantities, and the Erlich dairy cheeve is x native product, Mean- while, enormous quantities of American cheeses are exported to Great Britain.

From the New York Sun. Nowedays, when men are examining the most trivial things with a view to getting something useful out of them, kites have not escaped serious attention. Perhaps the start of this was ins Japanese story that came this way ® good many yearsago about Ji robbers using huge kites to let one of their number | down on the roofs of houses, and then raising him again and pulling him away with his load ot booty. This story, which may or may not be true, but is certainly possible, suggested to some one that kites might be used in war. The Tesulternsa series of experiments in France, where the bureaucrats invettigate and report Yoluminously upon everything. Tt was found that kites might be made so that they could be perfectly controlled, that they might be raised and lowered at will and that they might be used to carry bombs or Messages. But it was also decided that sharp- shooters with long-range riftes could destroy their usefulness, because, to be of any account, the kite must be controlled by « string and must thus be weighted to within shooting dis- tance of the earth during all its flight. Like balloons and a good many other air-supported devices, gunpowder made them almbst worth- le.

As we all know, every life-caving station has anapparatus for shooting the line over a wrecked means for drawing to the craft the safety rope. Tut how often is the distance too great or the wind too powerful, not to speak of the ficulties always encountered in taking accu- rate aim. e Dr Woodbridge, who had always boen a de- voted flyer of kites, thought that the kite, if it could be properly coutrolled, would answer for nding «line better than «gun. So he mann- factured big with powerful sticks and strong canvas coverings, and experimented with thom until he arranged an apparatus that was completely successful. By ingenious belly bands and of the tail, and of strings attach sticks, be was able to lower or raixe a kite, to make it go to the right or left ina wide an; and to send it forward for several miles. A) he can do all thie without a whether the wind is heavy or light, provided | that it is not dead against the direction in which he wishes to send his kite. He also bas made some pretty successful experiments for compelling a kite to tow a small boat ata good rate of speed.
