of Plattsmouth , Neb , two attorneys at law ,
had an encounter with Justice Tor jotcr-
day , and although the Justice business Is
somewhat now to Fox and ho Is sin oral
je.irs past the prime of life , he showed that
he feels nble to urn his own court in Ills own
way. The suvcnteen garnishment cases
which were commenced in Justice court
several months ago by a collection linn of
Sioux City tigalnst n number of railway men
ll\lng at Plattsmouth wcte on tilil , ami
Messrs Wooley and Li.yyer represented the
lalluay men The whole town of Platts
mouth was gieatli Interested In the outcome
of the trial , ami the casoi have received con
siderable newspaper attention during the pis t
few weeks
When the llrst caao came up for trial j cs-
tcidaj inoinlug thoattornejs for the de
fendants asiced for a trill by Jury , which
the.v claimed tlii'i wcio entitled to accord
ing to a gie it many decisions of the supiemo
coutt The Justice ruled against them , and
said the cases must be tiled to the coutt
'I his was the beginning of the trouble , which
lasted all thiougli the trill , several deci
sions of the comt bcin , ; construed by the nt-
as unjust to themselves and clients
Their \tllil ivll ICllcil tlio Court.
At the close of the trial thcro was a formal
declaration of war. Attorney Wooloy and
U jcr Illln' , ' an objection lo the tiial'of nnj
of the icmalni'ig uses by John Fo\ , Justice
of the peace , alleging as the ground for their
objection that hovas neil compos mentis ,
not competent to lr.\ the cases piopctly"
Justice I'nxwoithjcryinitin.ill } objected
to anv attorney casting icllections on his
mental soundness , no matter what thci
might think of his legal or Judicial ability ,
nml ho nt oiuog.no the obstreperous attor
mm notice1 that they would ha\o until "

thej did not wish to do this the } would bo
called upon to answer to the charge of con

aiilvcd Justice Fox sild , "Gentlemen , Imo
j on decided to w Ithdra w i our objectionable
paper I"
"No , sir , " was the reply , " \\o shall stand
bj our .iflkliu it "
The Justice thereupon proceeded to enter
up a decision on his iccord lining them $10
each for contempt of coin t , ami sending them
to the countv jail for ono day in default of
pnmcnt Wooloy icrjucsted that ho be
glun time to consult an attoinei , and this
was iji.uitcd by the court.
Kx-llHtlll ! ! lllllgril 111 It
A little later ho ictuincd to the court
loom with Attornoi J J Stowait , who in
addicsslng tne coutt. slid that the attorneys
had had no intention of committing a ion-
tempt of louit , but tliev were of the opinion
that ex-JustlcoSweailngen , fiom whom the
lase had been taken on a change ofcuue ,
and who occupied a seat beside Justice
Fox dining the tiul , was h.ulng alto
gether too muih of a hand in the tual Al
this point Sweatingen icached o\cr and
picked up an inkstand fiom tlio desk in fiont
of him The piospccts weio that bto\\.ut's
bi.iins would be pti'si-ntly p liuting a design
in Liim&on on the lloor of the loom He
dodircd , but the dodge was useless , for if the
ex-Justice had any intention of throuing the
inkstand at his head , he icconsldeicd it be-
foio it was OM'ilastingly too late , and con
tented himself with icmonstiatiug with
Stowait In a rather cnetgotic fashion.
Stewart then pioseiHed the court a
piper embod\ing the statements which ho
had made In behalf of his clients , asking
pel mission to withdraw the aflldavIt in which
they h id applied the term "non compos men
tis" to thu iouit , and , in short , taking back
PIcr.thing. . The attorncis then asked the
comt to expunge the record of the contempt
proceedings. Justice Fox was not willing to
foigl\ound foigdt oven thing , but oftcied to
i educe the line to $5. Wooloy begged vehe
mently for his partner , offciIng to take the
lesponsibllity for everything ' that h.id
oceiuicd If only Dwjer might be leleased
At last , after some tall speechifying had
been done , the justice agiccd to take the
matter under advisement until Saturday
mennlng , when he will decide whether or
not the contempt proceedings shall be
quashed.

( coined as though his neck would get
dislocated. And mich billy questions as
they plied him with ! Mr. Jefforbon
tried to look interested and ho is u very

"Will the titngo over bo more renl"v

"Oh. 1 think HO , too. It's going that
way , isn't it ? I have a friend on the
stage who never makes up her face
doesn't disguise hot self , you know , by
paint and powder. She sees the ton-
doney of the art , don't v on think so ? "
"N"answeicii Mr. Jofforbon , getting
a little b t loused. "I think vour friend
cannot be an artist. The urtitlcial lighten
on the stage requites the making up of
a face so that it will look natuial. That
is art. If it wasn't made up the light
effects would make the face look uimut-
uial. Doing true to lifo and natural , tus
von call it , is not true art on the stage.
It does not follow that it plujer'B work e.is
natural because it is done on the stage
as it would bo done off. In real life it
would bo natural for a man to hpend half
nn hour in reading a newspaper after he
picked it up. If nn netor did that on the !
btngo I think the audience would ien
wider him anything but 'natui til. ' rftago

appear natuial. No , 1 believe jour
friend is quite wrong In hero-inception. "

A PHANTOM MYSTERY.
A NCM\ York ( lliott I > lMirreil Aftrr Tuclto
Yrn Tribulation.
The true history of a New York ghost
that for twelve years past has haunted
a house not -100 yards from Washington
Square has at last been ascertained.
Bontt lido spectres are .somewhat a
rarity , nnd the Sun has the stoiy from a
a member of the familv only on condi
tion that the name Is not published.
| They will , theioforo , be called the Van
Old Hehuyler Van Rystael built the
hoiiM3 mote than uljitj jeais ago. It
sits back somovN hat fiom the north hide
of the street , anil has a gi eat hall that
runs ' up the entire thieo stories. At the
back of the corridor on the thiid lloor
is the chamber of young Schuj lor Van
Rjstael , a gtandson of the old gentle-
man.
Sehuylcr discoveied the ghost on
C'hristmns , 18 0 , when ho was little more
than 1U jeais old. The roof was coveied
with snow , and tluough a leak at the
wide of the skjllght a tiieklo of water
was dripping. The steady mop , drop ,
kept the boy awake and ho lai-ed his
"
Jioad to eall"a hervant and have a basin
placed to catch the water. To his in-
teii'-e astonishment ho aw a stitingo old
man in black elothes pacing the hall de
liberately , in time to the diop of the
water. The intiiicler slowlyappionehcd
Schuj ler's door and apparently v unished
into a pantry on the left of the hull.
Selniilor jumped out of bed , locked the
pantiy , and called his older brotho
from the lloor below. Armed with a
pistol the family opened the closet. It
was empty , and a close examination of
the doom mid window t ) showed no place
where a burglar could have enteied
The family , theiefoie , ictiicd , making
lemnrks about the effect of the Clirint-
iiius pudding on Scmuyler's digestion.
Nevertheless the ghost continued to
walk , and always on moonlit nights after
a heavy storm. The Van Rjstnoln
weio pesteied by would-be ndventmeis ,
vv ho desired to eo the spectral visitor ,
und on ono occasion Frank R. Stockton ,
the novelist , undertook to watch for the
ghost. Though all conditions weio fav
orable , the speeter failed to appear until
after Mr. Stockton retiied. Then
tluough the hall the weiid intiuder
paced in unison to the dripping ; of the
melting , snow and vanished as Mr.
Stockton sprang to liin feet to accost
him. The VanRjataelssav Mr. Stock
I ton hud intended to ask the ghost
whether the lady or the tiger came
through tbo door. However , the s > u-
peinntuial visitor came le s fiequently
nfterwnids- , and was more unsociable
than such beings are commonly supposed
to be , and until Sehuyler Van Kystaol
came home iccently fiom Ilarvaid the
identity of the ghost was umcveulcd.
The lain in the afternoon had wtarted
the old leak , and the drops glitteic'l in
the moon's rajs as they fell fiom the
skylight. Sehuyler sat up in bed , and
thcio stood the stiango old man at the
opposite end of the corridor. With arms
clasped behind his back and head bowed
as if in deep meditation , ho came toward
Schuylor's door.
As peen as the younjj man jumped on
his feet tlio npptuition vanished , and
tuililng , Schuylor was fronted with the
explanation.
Directly in the rear of the manor is a
boaiding-houhc , of which the third utory
back is inhabited by a whim-leal baeh-
elor. It is this man' ! ) habit to brilliant
ly illuminate Ills room and pace the
floor until a Into hour. The
Hood of light comes through his window
and projects his llgiuo on the blanket of
moonlight that on clear nights falls into
the Van Rystael'a hall , and aa the bach
elor walks tovvaid his window the ghost
advances toward Schuylor'adoor. When
the young man springs from his bed the
focus is destiojcd and the vision vanishes
instantly.
Sehuyler now pulls down his hhtidcs ,
but Mr. Stockton , having given up hope
of supornatuial aid in solving his BOH-
imposed pu//.le , is as much in the dark
as to the fate of the Spartan jouth as is
the dullest of his lenders. Perhaps it
, vas a choice of evils.

The art of making needles was kept a
bcerot until about 16oO , when it was
taught to the English by Christopher
Gi coning. Now English needles aio
bold all over the world. At Redditch
alone liO.OOO people make more than 100-
000,000 a jear , and they are made ami
exported M ) cheaply that England has
no rival in this country , and putctically

muking annually killed tens of thou
sands by the particles of steel being iit-
hulcd , but now u blast of air away from
the grindstone has done nwav with all of
this , and the occupation lias become

needle-making is the drilling of the

efficiency as a i eciter. at tbo banquet
given in honor of llenrj Irving and
Ellen Terrj at the c-loso of their last
season in America. O'Roll relates that
a plain , homely-looking man , on a simple
announcement arose and iccited "Down
to Old Aunt Mary's. " The Fioneh critic
states that , 01 dinnrily callous , he found
at the clobe of the homely lecitation that
tears wcio coursing down his olicokd ,
and that every one else present was simi
larly affected ; while Ellen Terry , the
emotional queen , was so oveicomo that
she hud to be i amoved from the banquet
hull.

A story is of a certain vv oman vv ho
finds a peculiar significance now in the
wotdsof the psalmist , "Piidegooth he-
fine destruction and haughty spti it bo-
foio a fall. " Her husband Is a man of
pi ojudiees , and one of them is against
wearing an ovotcoat that costs mote
than $15. This notion sorely tried his
wife's aristocratic ideas , and when ex
postulation and cntrcatj availed nothing
she resorted to strategy. Collision w ith
the tailor , on the occasion of his recent
need of nn outdoor gai inont , permitted
bib purchase of a $ u > coat for bib usual
price , $1. ) .
The wife duly paid the diffeienee and
was huppy for a fo w dujs.
Within a fortnight an old friend met
her husband and at once noticed the un
usual elegance of his now overcoat.
"Why , how's this ? You aic wearing
better clothes than you used to. "
"Not at all , ' " ho icplicd ; "this ib ono
of my ordinal y $15 ovoi coats. "
"Itibl Well , I'll give you fli ) for it. '
"It's yours , " was the prompt icply
nnd the bargain was completed on the
spot.When
When the husband reached homo his
wife w as surprised at his appearance.
"Why , whero's your coat ? " she asked.
"Oh'was ' the ' complacent icply , "a
fool downtown'olleied mo Sli1) for it and
I took it. " ( Curtain. )

A "Wiitteau cotillon"
was given re
cently in an eastern city , and proved a
successful form of charitable entoi tain-
ment. Tvventj selected couples danced
the pietty figuies dres&ed in pine
Wattenu style , the young women in rose
bud biocadcs and powdcied hair , and
the cavaliers gorgeous in bilk : satins ,
luces and diamond buckles. A Majpolo
dance , a hunting ligiiio and several
others made a series of piotty groupings ,
with finally a beautifully decorated sedan
chair. This WUH hi ought in by liveried
lackeys , and out of it btoppcd u lovely
diosden shephoidcbs , who distributed
HowerH and favora to cv orybody. Al
though the idea was carried out for a
benefit fund for n hospital , it is one that
could icadily assist a clover hostess in
planning a novel gormun.
