Bhg Partly because of its cleansing, purifying action upon the blood, and because of its solvent, strengthening, stimulating action upon the liver, kidneys, stomach and bowels. It brings them back to a healthy, natural condition in a natural way. Habitual constipation, biliousness, loss of appetite, defective nutrition, dyspepsia—every one of these has a time-tried remedy in the Carlsbad Sprudel Salt. It is the actual water of the Sprudel Spring, solidified and put into powder form ori the spot. For chronic catarrh of the stomach and other stomachic diseases, use the imported Carlsbad Sprudel Water, and add a small dose of the Carls- bad Sprudel Salt to a tumblerful of the water whenever a laxative action is desired. Do not be imposed upon by un- scrupulous dealers, who will sell you a mixture of Seidlitz Powder or Glauber Salt as “Improved Carlsbad Salt” or “Artificial Carlsbad Salt,” “German Salt,” or under other names. Insist upon the genuine article, which must bear the seal of the city of Carlsbad, and the signature of “EISNER & MENDELSON CO., Sole Agents, New York,” on every bottle. AN ENGLISH VIEW. A Wife's Experience in Getting Money From Her Husband. From the London Queen. . None but housekeepers know how very little of their money is really spent on themselves. Most certainly every wife should have her private purse, for, as a wretched woman said only the other day, “I would rather go without dinner for a week, or a dress for a year, than go to my husband on Saturday morning with the books. He is ‘always wanting extra deli- cacies at table, and then grumbling be- cause the butcher's bill is £1 19s 6d this week when it was only £1 lls 4d last week. I vainly remind him he insisted on having sweetbreads on Tuesday and fillet on Fri- cay, and that that has made the difference; but he cannot, or will not see it, and grumbles and haggles until he makes me quite ill, and then he pays the books, leav- ing me with a few shillings for ‘current expenses’ till the next Saturday. He order- ed some wood the other day for which 5s had to be paid at the door. He forgot to leave me the money, and when cook brought the bill I had to own I had not got 5s, and to borrow that sum from her. Oh, the humiliation of it!” And her eyes filled 's as she spoke. That man's in- > probably £800 or £000 a year, and ris wife has to borrow 5s from her own servant to pay for firewood! Such a husband ought to be ashamed of himself—he degrades himself, he lowers end harasses his wife. Let him go serious- ly into the subject of his income, decide how it is to be portioned off, hand the wife over her monthiy allowance, and never dis- cuss a bill or a butcher with her again. It is to her interest to do her best, and she is certain to do it, will be made ly. CASE OF A GUM CHEWER. The Judge Was Unable to Find a Law That Was Applicable. Inter-Ocean, “Mary, the Gum Chewer,” is abroad in the land and the female seminary girl will now have to give up the medal to this new womar with the untiring maxillary. Mary’s full name has a musical ring. “Mary May Maloney" was the way it was written on Justice Richardson's docket yesterday morning, Mary having been arrested dur- ing the night for disorderly conduct. Officer Shurbert, who made the arrest, asserted that gfary’s gum chewing was be- coming a source of annoyance to the police force from the fact that she chewed in public so ferociously and incessantly as to attract large crowds. Sunday night, the officer asserted, Mary stood near the corner of Harrison and State streets manipulating a generous quantity of tolu and the people on their way to the theaters stopped short at sight of her. Many of them,” declared the officer, “involuntarily worked their: jaws in sym- pathy and with that same magnetic power exercised by the pied-piper of Hamlin town over the village children, Mary Maloney held her subjects in a spell.’” “Well,” said Justice Richardson, when the officer had finished, “I see nothing in the statute about gum, and I can’t hang this woman for witcheraft, so what am I going to do?” A consultation was held between Prose- cuter Thompson and the court, which re- sulted in the dismissal of “Mary, the Gum Chewe: .—_—- - +06 —__ On Interviewing. From the National Review. : If it is worth the while of a public man to grant an interview at all, it is certainly worth his while that it should be done well, and it can only be done well if he con- descends to step down from his pedestal and co-operate almost en collegue with the interviewer. In the first place, the inter- viewer, who has had a large experience in his craft, is a specialist. He is more likely tran the interviewee to understand the con- ditions which go to the construction of a successful interview, and therefore he should be allowed a tolerably free hand as regards form and arrangement. Personal- ly, of course, I always take stock as rap- idly as I can of the interviewee ang consult tis humor in everything. After all, he is the person most intimately concerned with the success of the joint production, as it is his name with which the public is concern- ed, and not that of the interviewer, who is almost invariably anonymous. I am always in his debt for the conces- sion of the intervi: and if he wishes it he must be largely master of its manner. I am only suggesting that the wisest plan, after the original act of gracious conde- scension has been committed, w, that you are a Jupiter and the other man a black beetle. Don’t imagine that he is necessar- ily unconversant with affairs, political or literary. LICE TOILS Saved From the Rain by Getting Ar- rested. Cases in the Police Court This Morn- img and the Sentences Im- \ posed by the Judge. Judge Kimball has not an ear for all kinds of music, and he frankly says so. Street musicians in the vicinity of the court during the sessions are not wanted, nor does he want any brass bands in the build- ing. Caterer Baker's coffee cupg served the Purposes of brass instruments in the cell, so far as a colored child incarcerated there was concerned, and while the child may have enjoyed its particular kind of music, the judge did not. The child was only about two years old, but she was unfortunate erough to be the daughter of a woman who had been arrested and locked up for some trivial infraction of the law, and the police had allowed ner to take the child with her. The infant did not save the mother from the imposition of the penalty provided by Jaw, and the little one, who had played “Annie Rooney” or some other popular air on the stove with the coffee cups, is now living on the farm. “Not much in this morning’s lot,” re- marked Policeman Flynn, as he looked over the party of eighteen of the court's guests, ‘Ain't there much?” came the voice of a colored patron of cheap saloons on 7th street. ‘‘What's the matter with me? I'm here, and I’m as much as anybody in this world, if I do drink corn whisky in your neighborhood.” “Listen, now,” said an old colored man, whose appearance in the toils was no fault of his own. ‘Jes’ listen at what he’s say- in’. Young men in dese days am mighty fast, and if dey don’t drink whisky an’ take things from other people, why, dey ain't men.” . “Anybody sick this morning?’ was the Way the policeman ended the discussion. This caused a general laugh among the prisoners, who had enjoyed the hot coffee and solid food handed them through the bars, and they felt as well, if not better, than those of their class who were out in the rain, some of whom, no doubt, would gladly have accepted the prison breakfast. ““This way.” said the officer when the cell doors had been thrown wide open, and the procession moved into Judge Kimball's court and awaited the arrival of the judge. Procession Led Off. Sam Harris and Robert Parker, colored men, appeared at the rail and sald “not guilty’’ when arraigned for disorderly con- duct. “They were near 7th and N streets last night about 12 o'clock,” said Policeman Ellis. “They were in a dispute and had been drinking. I heard them use bad language, and when they got in Blagden’s alley I ar- rested them.” “Did you hear both men use profanity?” the court asked. “Yes, sir,” answered the officer. The prisoners denied the charge, but Po- liceman Cleveland said he heard the bad language, and the usual fine was imposed. Five white men, alleged tramps, whose ap- pearance showed that they had been on the read some time, appeared under the names of Joseph Brown, John Anderson, Martin Termeer, John Daley and James Butler and were charged with vagrancy. “These five men came to the second pre- cinet last night,” said an officer, “and want- ed lodging. One of them said he had just reached the city, but he had a lodging ticket on him.” “And I had found it on the street,” inter- rupted the particular prisoner. The prisoners, the officer explained, were unable to give guod accounts of themselves and he locked them up. Because of the condition of the weather the strangers were not very enthusiastic in their pleas for liberty. “I'll leave town today, If you let me go,” said one man. The one who had the lodging ticket also expressed a desire to be turned out in the rain, but the others had nothing to say. Judge Kimball said, “Ten days each.” Had a Cont. George Winston, a yeung colored man, was arrested as a suspicious character be- cause he was seen on the street by Precinct Detective Barnes with an old coat in his possession. “When I arrested him he said a lady gave him the coat,” explained the officer. “At first he said the lady called him to her house and then he said he met her on the street.’” “Then you want him held until you can investigate his possession of the coat?” in- quired the court. The prisoner was committed. “Guilty,” responded John Gregory, when arraigned for cisorderly conduct, and the usual fine was imposed. George Gibson, a young colored man who did not say where he lived, was in the toils as a suspicious person because Watch- man Rupple had found him in the railroad freight yard on Maryland avenue. He found him there last night about 12 o'clock, and he had a bag in his hand. “Coal and potatoes have been stolen from there recently,” said the watchman, “and I arrested him.” When Gibson was put on the stand he tried to make a good defense, but failed. “I just got here yesterday,” he said, “and was on my way to see my sister in Fight- ing alley.” “Where's your home?” “My father lives on 12th street.” Although George said he had just reached the city, before he left the stand he said he had been working here in a stone yard for three weeks. Judge Kimball concluded that George was a good man to lock up, and gavé him one month on the farm. Mary West, colored, who had been ar- rested on 13% street for being disorderly, admitted her guilt, and was sent down in default of the usual fine. George W. Smith, colored, followed a band of music last night and got in trouble. “It was reported to me that he had a pistol,”’ said the officer, “and was frighten- ing people on the street. I arrested him and found that he had un old broken pis- tel, which would not shoot.” “IT guess I'm guilty, but I don’t remem- ber,”” was his plea. He had been drifiking. “You -are fortunate,” said the judge, “that somebody did not knock you down or kill you. If they had done so they would have had a pretty good defense. This is disorderly conduct of the worst kind, and you are fined 310 or twenty days.” Ernest Grigsby, colored, and William Cook were charged with vagrancy because they had stopped at a police station last right and asked to be permi:ted to remain till_ morning. “I'm on my way to Baltimore to get work,” the colored man said. “Are you a farm hand?” asked the court. “Yes, sir. I've been working in Virginia near Rapidan, but I thought I would go where I could do better.” ‘And I'm from Philadelvhia,” said Cook. ‘I’m a machinist, and had beeu promised a job in Alexandria. My wife and two chil- dren are in Philadelphia, and I hope you will let me return to them.” Their personal bonds were taken. - Mike Cox, colored, who was complained against for having figured in two crap games, admitted his guilt, and went down for forty-five days in default of fine. ———.——_— Horse or Mule. A colored driver named Thomas Green was before the Police Court today on a charge 2f cruelty to animals, but just what kind of an animal he was charged with haying treated in this manner was not certain. One of the agents of the Humage Society had filed the paper, which Mr. Heald, the colored man’s employer, read, “did then ard there cruelly torture and tcrment an animal of the horse kind, to wit, a mule.” Mr. Heald confessed that he had some doubt as to whether the animal was a horse or mule. “Then, what would you charge the mule with being?” queried the court. “A member of the jackass family,” re- plied Mr. Heald. “Tt was a horse, anyhow,” raid Agent Rabbit. “Mr. Replinger made out the charge, but there was also a horse attach- ed to the wagon with the mule.” “Then,” said the court to the clerk, “strike out the horse.” Hone make him @ mule,” added Mr. feald. The trial proceeded, and the court thought the animal was $2 unfitted for work, and this amount of fine was paid by the driver.

A Copenhagen cerrespondent gives the following account of court life at the Cas- tle of Bernstorff, where thirteen royal per- sonages are staying, although the castle is not so much larger than a gentleman’s country seat. The Dowager Empress of Russia is satisfied with two small and very simply furnished rooms, the Princess of Wales has only one room, and the Greek royal couple two.

Court Ife in Bernstorff is very simple. All rise early and assemble at 8 o'clock in the queen’s apartments, where breakfast 1s served. Luncheon is at 1 o'clock, and afterward walks and drives are taken, while the younger members of the royal family play tennis on the great lawn in front of the castle. ‘The Princess of Wales and the dowager empress generally walk out together, and when they are tired take the first cab they meet and drive back to Bernstorff. The gentlemen ride, and while the Prince of Wales is there large shooting parties are arranged. Five o'clock tea is served in the queen’s rooms, and dinner is at 7, when there are generally five or six courses. The | evenings are spent in the queen’s apart- ments.
