MADDEN AN OPIUM - EATER — THEY BUNKOED MERCED COUN- | court evidently did not consider a crime (JUDGE SMITH FEARS THAT HE MEANS NO GOOD. e After a Pathetic Scene in Court Young Mrs. Madden Goes to Friends. Pleads Devotedly for Her Husband. e Oakland Office San Francisco Call, %08 Broadway, Aug. 12 Judge Smith had a hard task this morn- ing persuading young Mrs. Madden to ac- cept her liberty. The little wife, who .s but 17 years old, cried bitterly when the Judge told her she was perfectly free and could walk out of court. She did not want to go without her husband. She told the court that liberty without him would be infintely less pleasant than imprisonment, but his Honor could not be prevailed upon to be as lenient to the young husband, who has been tried and whose case now rests with the court. It was in vain that Judge Smith told the girl that she would be better off without her husband. The court recalled the fact that Madden is an opium eater, and that when he was arrested a large piece of the drug was found on him. He also outlined the future which she must expect if she persisted in remaining with her husband, but none of the argument had any effect. Finally Mrs. Madden consented to go to the home of Mrs. Sarah Brilliant, in San Francisco, as the lady had expressed a willingness to receive her. Officer Kyle accompanied the young woman across the bay at the suggestion of the court. “This is a peculiar case,” said the Judge, ‘and I have not yet made up my mind how to handle it. Madden found, as he says, two children’s rings in the elevator of the hotel and kept them for several weeks. It is very evident from his ap- pearance that he is an opium fiend, and there is much doubt as to the extent of his guilt. I also want to consider the point as to whether the girl would be bet- ter off with him or without him, and as he is safe in jail at present I shall not decide his case for a day or two. If I could be | persuaded that his influence over the girl woud be for good 1 would release him, but at present I am inclined to think that the girl would be better off if she never met him again. It is not an easy matter to decide such a question between a hu band and wife, who are practically chi dren. 1 am convinced, however. that whether he be guilty or not his wife has no share in the guilt.”” At the Dewey.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark., Aug. 12.—Henry the seventh Governor of Arkan- aged 83 years —_—ee———— The Company Stood It. On one of the trolley lines leading to a well-known amusement park they have a system whereby the cars are stopped at certain points to allow uni- formed inspectors to count the passen- presumably, as a check on tha conductors. Among the passengers on the car was a well-dressed young fellow with a nenchant for cracking jokes at other people’s expense. "When the car stopped for the count-up he had a lot of fun thrusting jiges at the conductor and hte trolley company people in gen- eral. Finally, just as the car was about to resume its journey, he called out: “Say, Mister Inspector, you missed Rector, the miss “T_guess 'Hump!” he retorted, I didn't company can stand it. much.” Then everybody laughed, the voung fellow got red in the face, the motor- man turned on the current and the car sped onward.—Philadelphia Inauirer. —_—e—————— Just the Profile Taken. A novel departure from the conven- tional portrait -hotograph has been made by photographers this season. The new photograph reprodices only the profile and a very artistic effect is added by employing unusual effects in lighting. In view of the old conven- tional methods of trimming and mount- ing photographs, these new portraits are c.ceedingly daring. In many of these portraits a part of the head is completely cut away, leaving only the line of the ~ ~file. This is done alwavs in such a way, ho- ver. that the familiar lines—that is, those which serve to reproduce what is commonl known as the '‘-eness—are all pr served. The negatives made by these photographers are seldom retouched to any extent.—New Orleans Democrat. —_—e—e——————— The Why. Curate—I never saw such a set of idlots as I had to preach to this morning.
