Judge Kimball Said They Were Trying to Make an Honest Living. Jadge Kimball announced in the Police Court this morning that he would not make fish of one and flesh of another. He characterized the rest of Henry Brown and Charles Richardson as a persecution. “There are 1,000 persons trying to make an honest living,” said the judge, “and where they don't interfere with the rights of others I am | not going to fine them. “And the sooner the police know this the better. I am not going to lend this court to any persecntis The defendants in the case are popcorn | manufacturers and the sign “Patronize home industry” appears on their wagons. ‘The police have arrested them twice this week for obstruct- ing the streets and selling their goods. ‘The reason the judge made the remarks was because these defendants had been brought in twice this week and the many Italian candy and fruit venders were left unpunished. ‘The judge said he knew that Richardson was trying to make an honest living, and so far as he was concerned he was willing to help him. That's rigbt, your honor,” remarked Lawyer O'Neal, his counsel. “He is doig it to keep Lis family togethe: Lieut.

Richardson said he went out with his carts in | order to get bread for his family, and he had tried not to violate the law. Jud,+ Kimball reminded both defendants of what he had told them when they were in court earlier in the week and fined Brown #2. ‘There was no proof against Richardson and the charge against him was dismissed. In disposing of the case the judge said he thought the police should make the raid a gen- eral one ani not keep arresting only these two defendants. ee Record of Deaths.

It’ is said that a rise of five feet at Williamsport raises the water but three or four inches at Georgetown. FUNERAL OF MR. ROBERT SMITH.

It is of de- cided interest to the average man, especially a Kentuckian, to have some certainty of knowl- edge of the greatest possible amount of whisky he can drink without material injury to his constitution, and I can give sothe good sugges- tions, founded upon personal observation and knowledge. “In the first place, whisky should never be drunk raw by the man who means to prolong the battle as long as he can, It should be diluted with water at least one-fourth or one- third, and oniy the best rye or wheat extract or corn juice should make the acquaintance of the stomach. If you want liquor to win quickly, drink heavily of whisky, rum, cordials, cock- tails and Lrandy and fashionable mixed drinks morning, afternoon and night. Keep this up faithfully and your nervous system will soon be wrecked, your stomach perforated with holes {and the lining covered with ulcerations and blotches, your kidneys degenerated, your brain diseased, and you will finally enjoy to the ut- most the peculiar sensations of delirium tre- mens. ~-But if you yourself would wia the struggle never drink anything but good, honest, straight whisky, eschewing ail other liquors, and take your first drink at 8 o’clock at night, two hours after your dinner. You may then drink your- self happily drunk every night in the year for twenty years if you haven't organic heart dis- ease, and while your #yxiom to a certain extent will feel the effects you will haye drunk to his grave a score of times over the fellow who has consumed in a year in the daytime the same quantity that you have put away at night. Sleep, muscular repose and the consequent ab- sence of waste and wear of nervous and phy: cal forces assist in annulling the bad effects of alcohol. A good bath, «hearty breakfast, a cup of pure coffee, but ‘positively no cocktails indie morning. Ondfof the professors at the médical college from which I graduated, a man who dieda natural death at seventy-six, for over thirty years prece went to bed every night so fall that he didn’t know whether his piliow headed north or south, but nota drop during the day did he touch. ‘The same is true of the old English squires, who would night after night drink each other under the table, the next day follow the hounds and finally die of oldage. So with tobacco. Ifs man will smoke his first cigar or pipe after lunch instead of after breakfast the pernicious effects of the gradual absorption of nicotine in the system and its consequent deleterious action upon the nervous system will be wonderfully modified.” —_——— State Geographic Competition, The National Geographic Society, with a view of encouraging the study of geography in the public schools of the United States, has in- stituted a system of certificates and medals for annual award in each state to such graduating pupil of a public high school as shall write the best original geographic cssay on a subject to be pan bya Comaittes ‘of the socket The subject of the essay will pertain to the conti- nent of North America, and isto be compre- hensive inscope and limited in longs, 80 a8 to afford opportunity for o1 ity of treatment.

ADM = REMEDIES FOR INSOMNIA. They Are Simple and Perhaps One May Relieve You. “There has been much written and said about insomnia and its remedies,” said an army sur- geon in the Army and Navy building this morn- ing to Tu Stan representative, “and at the illing pace at which we live it is small wonder that men, particularly professional men, suffer from sleeplessness ané nervous troubles, “In the first place, the cause should be re- moved. ‘The victim should exert his will power to the utmost to leave his business in his office orstore. He should noteat indigestible food nor distend bis stomach by overloading it at dinner. Neither coffer nor tea should be drunk at dinner nor should half a dozen strong cigars be smoked afterward. ‘Two or three mild cigars are not objectionable. Exciting argu- ments are best maintained during the day. However, assuming that all these things are done, yet once in bed the brain sets up an abnormal excitement, the vessels are distended with blood, the head throbs, thoughts follow ‘one another in confused and broken trains, but with frightful rapidity; there is a congested feeling across the foreliead, and as the sufferer lies there with closed eyes he appears to see tight through his ekuil, just above the eye- brows, where the faculty of perception’ is located. Covnting sheep jumping ov2r a fence, looking down at the end of the nose and dozens of other popular suggestions to induce sleep are of no avail. T have found from cases in my practice, and I think the suggestion is a new one, that ‘the room, while it ma; yet there should be a speck or bit of light, Ii crack in a door from an illumination on the other side, an open blind or a bit of the curtain raised so as to give some slight subdued light in the gloom as an object upon which the patient can keep his eye fastened. Keep them fixedly centered upon this object, the lids up, and under no circumstances slould the eves be closed. In a few moments the lids will wink from fatigue, and before he huows i tient is asleep. from the room, 3 inky darkness and trying to compose one's seif, cen erally results in the conditions I have do-cribed, A cold sponge at the base of the brain is good. A bath at night affects different temperaments oppositely. An empty stomach is « fruitful source of insomnia. A light lunch before re- tiring of bread and warm milk has relieved stubborn cases. The consequent activity of the stomach during digestion relieves the press- ure of blood from the brain. A glass of beer is not to be inhibited, but with some it pro- duces biliousness. Under no circumstances should chloral be taken. It isa direct and speedy cardiac poison and its continued uso means certain death.” ee Sentenced to Be Electrocuted. ‘When court at Ballston, N. ¥., convened yes- terday Judge Russell sentenced Martin Foy, jr., the Guttenburg “tout,” who was yesterday convicted of murder in the first degree for Killing Henrietta Wilson of Philadelphia, After & few remarks the judge sentenced Foy to be eiectrocuted in Dannemora prison during the week beginning March 13. Counsel for Foy made a motion for a new trial, which was de- nied. Notice of an appeal from the deciaion of the judge was filed. Foy will be taken to Dan- nemors today. EES SURES Proud of the Affair.

But they are among the sharpest and brightest of Indians. Every boy remembers in dime novels that Comanches were the favorite enemiss of the brave trappers and hardy pio- neers. They were fightere aud are the most ex- He is a | pert horsemen in the world. But they fight no longer, are rapidly becoming civilized, and for their progress and docility Quanna Parker is to be thar sed. “Parker is # half-breed, the son of a chief whose wife was a white captive girl. When but a youth Parker, by his daring and bravery and successful exploits against other tribes aud the whites in the Indian wars, rose above the older chiefs and became the leader. Now that the wars are forever over his same great will power nd strong onality impresses iteelf aa rongly upon his tribe, but in the direction of wancement and civilization. He is virtually aking. His word is law; his will eupreme. He says he will civilize his tribe, and he will do it. As one result of his efforts many of his Indians live in frame houses. He compelled them to save one-half of their money received from the sale of their cattle. With sixty Indians’ wagons he went down into Texas, bought lumber, then came on to Washington and persuaded India Commissioner Morgan to build the houses. Hi lives in a fine nine-roomed frame house, han; somely furnished in modern style, Brussels carpets, fine upholstered furniture, mural adornments and decorated nicely.

He has horses with- out number, two coaches, four buggies and other vehicles, He has six wives to brighten his househotd amd I never heard of any hair pulling. There is a method in his polygamous madness, Each wife is the daughter of a chief of the six principal divisions or squads of the tribe. So he is solid with the whole lot on this score. “Parker is about forty, tall and muscular, with alight copper-colored skin, the Indian facial characteristics, with a piercing black eagle eye. He speaks English well and is a general favorite with all who know him. SOUTH. VIEWS. Comments on the Selection of Judge Jack- son for the Supreme Court, The appointment of Judge Jackson to the Supreme bench received universally favorable comment at Atlanta, Ga. The Constitution saya: “Itis needless to say that ae a patriotic democrat anda learned jurist the southern people will deem him worthy of promotion. While gratified to kuow that the President has, toa great extent, observed the propriety of the situation by appointing a democrat, we still think that it would have been the proper thing for him not to have taken ‘any action, but to have left theappointmenttothenew administra- tion. No doubt the President willnow appoint a republican cirenit judge as successor to Judge Jackson, an action to be regretted when he has such a distinguished array of able democratic jurists from which to make a selection. +, whatever may be said as to the 's ‘observance of what many of the leading republican newspapers and nearly all democratic newspapersand individuals thought to be the demands of propriety, ail will unite in commerding the excellence of his choice. Judge Jackson will ornament the Supreme bench and will prove an able and distinguished coworker with the learned jurists who now form “the greatest tribunal on earth.” ‘The Knoxville Trivune ways: “The nomina- tion of Howell E. Jackson as Justice Lamar successor was something of a surprise to man; but it meots with favorable and general satii faction.” The Richmond Times snys editorially today: “President Harrison has nominated as the suc- cessor of the lamented Lucius C. Q. Lamar on the bench of the Supreme Court of the United States Howell E, Jackson of Tennessee, a state's rights man and a sterling democrat. In domg this Mr. Harrison has committed a most laudable act. Not only was Justice Lamar one of the meager democratic minority on the Supreme bench and the only representative of the south in that bods, and, therefore, his successor should in justice have been also = southern gentleman and a democrat, but at the last election the people declared most tively in favor of the democratic party and had Mr. Harrison nominated a republican he would have defied popular sentiment. “In acting as he has done the President has j been guided by a sense of justice and a regard for the will of the people. His conduct, there- fore, is deserving of the highest praise, and the Times is prompt to accord him the commenda- tion to which he is 80 deservedly entitled.” The Richmond Dispatch says: “President Harrison seems to have done very well indeed in his selection of Justice Lamar's successor. Judge Howell E. Jackson, who is his nominee. is a democrat anda southern man, and, under the appointment of Mr. Cleveland, is ut thix time ably discharging the duties of ‘the United | States judge for the western district of Ten-| nese. ‘The Senate will hardiy be able to find sort of objection to the nominee and his mation may, therefore,.be looked upon as quite ceriain, If this nomination is favorably acted upon at once President Harrison may have time to send in and the Senate to confirm before the 4th of March a nominee for the dis, trict judze-hip Lecture. On Sunday evening next this distinguished divine will sperk at the New National Theater. His subject is an attractive one, and our people will doubtless want to ees and Lear him. 4 Cream Biscrrr.
