SherilTs Fees.
Those knowing whereof they apeak ,
-toll us Sheriff Guittar is in the habit cf
summoning jurora from the east end by
letter , at the sitting of the grand or petit
juries. The gentleman lias a right to
transact business in this ( ray , but ho
.should not put iri * a bill for mileage , as
ho don't make the trip. By law ho is al
lowed ton. cents a mile ono way , and if ,
by those summon letters , ho saves the
county from § 2 to § 1.70 per juror , ho is
emphatically a good man for the position ,
if not , then ho is paving the way for defeat -
feat , should , ho ever again aok the people
for their suffrage. The summoned par
ties hav'o a right to either accept or re
fuse such service it's at their option.
Our sheriff must look to his laurels.
. [ Walnut Bureau.
Brother Sheppard , as usual , ilics off
' without stopping to read up or inquire.
The law regulating the amount of sheriff
fees says :
"For summoning a grand jury or trial
jury for each person served , CO ccyits , to
bo paid out of the county treasury ; and
such sum nhall bo in full compensation
for such service. "
It appears then that the sheriff gets GO ,
coats and only that for each juror summoned -
" monod no mileage , no extras. If h'o
has to servo a notice in person the costs
would often amount to ton times this
sum. Most of the jurors are willing to
accept service by mail , but some do not.
When they refuse or neglect to accept
service by mail the sheriff sends the sum
mons to n deputy and has him to servo
it. lie had ono such case at Walnut re
cently. The man summoned refusing
to accept service , the sheriff had to got
* * the depnty to servo it , and the latter
charged the sheriff $1 , DO that in this
case it cost Guittar 40 cents more than
ho gets from the county. With such
facts right under his nose ( Brother Sheppard -
pard should have taken lavy ) Crockett's
udvico. '

Dear Sir : Wo mail you some of our list
of customers and little book of Uardiuan
Pianos. If you get up anything of the
sort please mail us copies.
Wo are handling the Ilardirmn as our
best J'lanoa and put it squarely in com
petition with the Stoiuway , Chickering ,
Ivnabo Pianos , nnd with the greatest suo-
cess. Within n month wo have traded
Uardman'Pianos for thrco8toinwaysono
Chick oring and two Knabcs , and our
Ilardmaii grand is now used by no.irly all
our resident playeru lit their concerts , It
has taken a good dual of woik to over
come the prejudice in favor of thu old
standards , but we have done it hero , and
if a number of Hardman agents in the
larger cities would handle the piano on
the same basis it would soon occupy a
first position then they would sell
easier and wo would got prices nearer
their value. IIopo you are having a good
sale for them. Yours ,

Sergeant Granger if she could sleep at
the station.
"You can , " said the sergeant , "but
in the morning you will bo taken to
court. "
'What for ? " interrogated the woman.
"As a vagant. My orders would compel
mo to do BO. "
"I won't stay , then , " said the woman ,
and she left. Two hours later she aghin
appeared and mkod for lodgings , saying :
"I'll take the cell but why do they Imvo
such strict rules ] "
She was taken to a cell , but when the
iron-barred door owung open uho drou
back in horror , "No , no , " she cried , "J
cannot go in there. It's so dark and cold.
I wont go in there. I'll die lirot. "

tion-houuo and walked slowly thwart

mild bo heard sobbing for an hour after
icing looked up. At bout 1 o'clock
when Doorkeeper Smith made the rounds
of the cells ho hoard , when ho stopped in
'ront of Annie Smith's cell , a gasping ,
gurgling sound. Hastily opening the
leer , Smith found the woman hanging
jy the neck from the grated inside door ,
with a long silk handkerchief drawn
jghtly around her eck. The doorman
: ut her down and called for assistance.
She was rcsucitatcd and carefully watch
ed until yesterday morning , -when she
wai taken to the Essex Market police

on her head ,
"Annie Smith , " said Justice Gorman ,
"tho officer says you attempted to commit
suicide last night. "
"Oh , no judge , " said the prisoner ,
as great tears filled her pretty blue
eyes. "Ldid not know what I was doing
U the timo. I am almost crazy. I urn
hungry and homeless. My poor child
is now being cared [ for by a charitable

She was hold in SHOO bail for trial.
As the girl heard this she bowed her

Some years ngo she was employed in
