The Sheriffs Cnsn In Court
It does not frequently happen that the
sheriff is tnndo the dofondnnt In a criminal
case , especially on the charge of assault and
battery , yet such was the case yesterday
when Sheriff O'Neill ' was summoned bofoto
Justice Harnett to answer to n charge pre
ferred by ono Frnnk Grady The facts In
the case , as shown by the ovldenco Intro
duced , arc that Grady and his brother went
to the county Jailycsterday noon nnd wanted
to bco Kelley nnd Louell , the two wen who
made such n desperate tight wnon arrested
bv Captain Anderson of the merchant ' Po
lice , for the larceny of clothing from savornl
stores In this city u few wcoks ngo The two
Urndys were strnngers , nnd weions tough
looking IndlviduaU as are often bcoii The
sheriff Biispeetcd that all was not right , nnd ,
in view of the fact that tools have been
smuggled into the Jail on sovcral occasions ot
lo to , refused to allow the men to sea tha
prisoners , when they asked to be nllowod to
take thein up some tobacco nnd see what
counsel they wished to cngngo "
As Kelley nnd Lowell had alroadv secured
counsel the sheriff was convlncod that some
thing wns wrong , and ordered the strangers
out of the building They persisted in thotr
doinimds nnd continued to argue the case ,
until the sheriffs patience was oxhuustod ,
w lieu ho slapped them both In the face und
run them out of doors This led to the illlug
of an Infoiiiutioii uud the issuance of a war
rnnt
rnnt.Messrs. . Mynstor , LIndt & Soabrool : ap
peared fur the prosecution , and Sheriff
O'Neill ' conducted his own case The court
room w.is tilled , and the c.iso wns an amus-
lug one for the spectators The attorneys
roasted the sheriff , and the sheriff ro-
tutned It with interest It was evident that
there was no love lost between them LIndt
vowed thut there must bo a ehango in the
way matters were conducted at the county
Jail , uud O'NoiU told him to rest easyon thni
score ns there would ba a change , und that
certain attorneys who had been engaged In
smuggling In letters and other articles would
llnd tboir liberties considerably curtailed
hereafter
When Llndt'declared It on outrage that
any one should bo refusad the privilege of
seeing a prisoner in Jill the sheriff informed
him that ho need not bo surprised , as ho
( LIndt ) bad been ordered by a former Jailer
to keep away from the Jail Ltndt climbed
up on his tiptoes and brought his list down
with a whack that knocked n splinter from
the Bqulro's desk , while he declared that the
man who inado such a statement told what
was not true
"Didn't Too Morse order you to keep away
from the jalll' ' demanded the sheriff
"No , ho did not , " was the angry answer
Well , 1 say he did , nnd ho will swear to
it , " came the positive reply
Thereupon Mr Siabrook concluded that
his learned coadjutor was uot getting along
ns swimmingly ns could bo desired und ho
arose and requested the court to have the
sheriff suppressed until connsel concluded
his urgtiinont The sheriff said ho did not
want to deny anything except what wns un
true and Lindt then concluded with an ap
peal to the court to Impose a line of $100 , the
maximum penalty allowed
In ruling on the case the court stated thnt
the sheritt must have full control of the
Jail , as ho was alone held rosponslblo for the
safe keeping of prisoners , and that bo must ,
rely oa his own Judgment in allowing pir-
tlos to sco these confinement . Ho un
doubtedly had a rlaht to order the prosccut-
lm wlt.nnitA mvnv nml In nnfnrcn his order
but ho did not bollovo it necessary In this
case to use sufficient violence to constitute
an nRsnult Ho must therefore And him
guilty , but in vlow of all tbe circumstances
lu the case he would make the penalty as
light as possible , uud Inflict n line of $5 and
costs The sheriff promptly paid It , and tbo
funeral was over
A number ot spectators then hold a post
mortem on the case , around the Judges
desk , and decided thnt although the law
might require the infliction of a line the
sheriff should have been discharged and the
case dismissed The case opens up a ques
tion as to how far a sheriff is allowed to go
In keeping suspicious characters away trora

'J hnso Motor Pas cr
How is this injunction case regarding the
Issuance ot motor passes going to end ? " in
quired Tiik Beb last evening of Hon George
F. Wright , one of the directors of the elec
tric motor company
Why , I dent believe they have served any
papers yet , " wns the reply Mr Stewart is
sick und confined to his home , and they will
have to servo papers on him There is no
question but that the puss system has been
ubusod , und I told them a year ago Just how
it would tcrmlnuto I toll you a man who
lias novcr had any experience cannot handle
the pass business nnd malto a success ot it
I know how it goes , for I had lo issue tto
passes for the old street car line for a num
ber of ye.irc The first thing a man knows
ho hns ovorybudy riding on a pass There
are certain ones who are entitled to passes
and no passes should bo Issued in any case
wliero the company docs not receive compon-
sation.ln return Passes have boon issued to
certain men and party , ' nnd they have
greatly abused tholr privileges "
Mr , vnns feels sore , and perhaps ho has
reason to Ho has done us much for the
company und was and is a important a fac
tor ns any of the stockholders or directors ,
nnd he naturally wants to receive ns much
bonetlt as any of the others At the meeting
a year ago Mr Kvans' ofllco ot gcnor.il manager -
agor was abolished , and ho was left out in
the cold , whllo Mr N , W. Wells was made
second vice president Now the articles do
not provide for any such ofllco as second vlco
president , and tha cdmpany docs not need
one , but they saw lit to elect Mr Wells to
thut position nnd there ho is What their
object was I do not know , uuloss it was to
use exchange passes You see , the offieora
ot the company are entitled to use the ex
change passes , and ot course Mr Evans not
being an ofllcor could not coma In "
How about yourself in that rolatlonl"
Well , It didn't cut any flguro with mo ,
because I had passes for all the traveling I
wished to do , as uttornoy for the railway
companies , und the other directors raised
that against mo when I opposed
the issuing ot exchange passes
They said It was not right for a man who
had all tbo passes bo needed to vote against
other folks getting any But as fur as this
injunction is concerned , I rather think the
matter will bo settled out of court The
aunual meeting will bo bold on the 14th of
January and nowollicors willboelected , and
the pass question will probably bo settled I
apprehend that certain passes will be issued
the same as at proscnt , but the matter will
bo regulated and this issuance ot passes by
wbolesalo will bo stopped "
Well , how about these whoso passes expire -
piro on the 'Ust Inst , " inquired tbo deeply
interested soribo "
"I rather guess they will hove to walk or
pay their faro for a couple of weeks I dent
sea any other way out ot It unless this In
junction Is dissolved pretty soon , and it dent
look much now as If that would be done "

To Soften Unrtl Wntrr
When , as is most commonly the enso ,
this hardness is duo lo the presence of
largo proportions of the carbonates ot
llmo and magiicsln.lt can borccogtilKod
by the oxtout to which tlio water be
comes turbid , or iorrns whitish scum or
incrustations when boiled -
nulling , then , is ono ot the menus for
softening waters thut are hard and
"curtllo the soup from this cuuto , and
this fact Is well known to housekeepers ,
but owing to the iucomoniouco of the
application of tills ronicUy , it is rarely
resorted to except for drinking water
For this purpose boiling litis the special
and additional ndvnntago of insuring
the destruction of any nnnuto gortns ot
disease that might rotitainiunto the
water
To soften water for washing , a com
mon nnd very good remedy is the use of
carbonate of soda ( sal soda ) in suflloiont
quantity to bring down the llmo and
magnesia , and thus insure proper solu
tion of the soup to form siuls , pays an ox-
change Only there is too often a mis
take made in not allowing tiuio
for the soda to bring down
the llmo and magnosin in a
powdery form , which requires from
half an hour to an hour when the wntor
is cold , but occurs very quickly when
the water is hot When , as is com
monly done , the soap is uut into the
water while tholimo is still In the gel
atinous form and diffused in the water ,
a certain amount of curdling will
still happen , and the washed clothes
( especially flannels ) willliaro thatsoggv
and unpleasant touch which is caused
by the uecumulution of the limo and
magnesia soaps inthem
That it is undesirable to iib ' o soda for
softening water toe be used for drinking
hardly needs mora than mention The
natural hard waters usually contain
quite us much oft saline mattorsas lsdo-
sirablo in drinking water Soda , however -
over , does not in any manner correct
the sanitary condition of a water ; on
the contrary , itiilds in hooping vegeta
ble and animal matters iu solution , and
uulebs added in very large excess , does
not interfere with'tho vitality of fungus
or ether gqrma , . .

way of a birthday or Christmas gift , or
will sell for as much as you can find it
in your conscience to ask for it at a
church fair
Lot the box bo of stout pasteboard
and of an appropriate shape and size
If you could got a now cigar box it
would bo hotter than ono of pasteboard ,
and I should despair of getting the
odor of tobacco out of an old ono
Crinkle the th.suo paper bv twisting it
in a tight roll and then slinking it out
You can buy it crinkled , but the cost is
slightly more Cover the box inside
with the palo groan paper , sticking it
neatly to the edges with inucilago Cut
a sheet of stilt letter paper just to lit
the inside of the box ; cover this on
both sides with the lUsuo paper , putting
a very thin luycr of wadding sprinkled
with sachet powder on the uppermost
side Line the cover in the same
manner
If you take an ordinary box you must
cut oil the rim of the cover and sow It to
the back of the box with very stout
thread , being careful to leave the
stitches loose enough so thut the cover
will shut easily Cover the outside of
the box with dark-green tissue pauor ;
lay wadding ever the top to give it a
cushioned look , and then cover It with
alternate bands of light and dark paper
laid across diagonally
Stretch a band of palo-groon ribbon
across the longest way of the box , paint
Handkerchiefs on it lu gilt letters
and fasten a knot of the ribbon n little
to the loft of the middle A loup of the
ribbon is glued batweon the covering
and the lluing to lift it up hy Glove
boxes , using a corset box , can bo made
to match
l > iesscs That Wear for'Twelvo years
In Wnlos the country people collect
the wool for tholr garments themselves
from the blackberry bushes , gorse and
hedgerows , where the llttlo mountain
sheep have loft H tlckingIn old days
this would have been brought homo to
bo curded , spun'nnd ' woven Into llannol
in the liand loom , but now the wool
gatherers tnko It ito the nonrost factory
and have It woiioVf there , often under
their own eyes , into the pieces of stuff
of the various lougths thut they require ,
The weaving of an ordinary dross jiloco
of eight yards , whioh is sulllcieiit for a
skirt and bodlco , oost about $7.60 , This
sounds like a good deal for a peasant
woman to glvo for a gown , but when it
ig romomborcd thut a dress of this kind
will wear tw lva yours and then niuko up
Into a pottlcoat' . the ' expenditure does
not see in out of harmony witli the char

The wlfo of Governor Fltzhugh Lee
of Virginia is a famous housokcopor ,
and this is how she says she makes the
mincemeat for her Thanksgiving pieB
Two pounds beef , two of currants , two
of raisins , ouo pound of citron , two of
beef suet , ono and a half of candied
lemon pool , four pounds apples , two of
sultana raisins , two of sugar , two nut
megs grated , quarter ounce cloves , half
ounce cinnamon , quarter ounce mace ,
ono quart cherry or good homemade
wine , ono quart good brandy , ono
tenspoonful of salt , the juice and rind
of two lemons and two oranges Simmer
the meat gently till tender , and when
perfectly cold chop fine Stotio the
raisins , shed the citron , pnro , coroand
chop the apples , chop the suet fine Mix
the dry ingredients together , then add
lho"juico and rind of the oranges und
lemons Pack iu a stone jar , pour on
the wtno and brandy , cover close and
keep cool This mincemeat will keep
all winter When wnotcd for pies ,
thin with cider or wine The rule is an
old one and is said to come from the
Curtis family in the beginning Ac
cording to Virginia tradition the widow
Curtis , who became Mrs Washington ,
made lamous mince pics
Porous Wntcrproofliic
A porous waterproof cloth is tlio best
for outer garments during wet weather
for these whoso dutins or labor cause
them to perspire freely The best way
to proparb such cloth is by the process
adopted for the tunics of the French
soldiers during the Crimean war It is
as follows :
Take two and a-half pounds of alum
and dissolve in ton gallons of boiling
water ; then in a separate vessel dis-
eolvo the same quantity of sugar , of
lead iu ton gallons of water and mix
the two solutions The cloth is now
well handled In this liquid until every
part of it is penetrated , then it is
squeezed and dried in the air or in a
warm apartment , then washed in cold
water'ana dried again , when it is lit for
use
use.If necessary the cloth may bo dipped
in the liquid and dried twice before
being washed The liquor appears cur
dled when the alum nnd lead solutions
are mixed together This is tlio result
of double decomposition , the sulpliato
of load , which is nn insoluble salt ,
being formed The eulphalo of load is
taken up in the poroa of the oloth , and
it is unaffected by rains or moisture ,
and yet it does not render the cloth air
tight ; . Such cloth is also partly uuin-
ilammablo
A solution of alum ilsolf will render
cloth , prepared ns described , partially
waterproof , but it is not so good as the
sulphate of lead Such cloth cotton or
woollou sheds rain llko the feathers
the baeK of a duck As to cost , alum
is 3 cents per pound and sugar of lead
about iiO cents per pound , and doubtless
each could bo had for less in quantities
Experience will toll the amount of
liquor necessary for , say , a score " of
capes ; but any way , the process will bo
found to bo sufficiently inoxpcnslvo and
offcctuul

The proper thing tills winter for a
hostess who plans to have • • aftornoous"
and to entertain more than a very few
people at a tlmo is to bog , borrow , buyer
or have glvon to her a nest of tables ,
says the Now York Morning Journal
At an afternoon tea given ' in honor
of Miss Davis , the daughter of the cou-
federate chieftain , a fortnight ago , the
table nest when drawn apart proved to
consist of four small gilded stands of
sizes so graduated that the youngest , so
to sponk , was just able to stand erect
under tlio top of number 3 , number two
covering both and the mother table
brooding the on tire family beneath its
wings ,
Those tables wore all Louis Solzo re
productions , simply rectangular in
shapogilded anaburnishedand painted
with Bhephordcsses leaning poneivoly
ever brooks , courtlors .dimolng attouu-
anco on pink and white ladies who toy
with funs , etc , each table top signed by
a French urtist of repute , whoso naiuo
lent It additional value
Next to tables the woman of 1880 sots
her heart on ottomans , says the Phila
delphia Times The foot cushions which
kicked about our hnlf-llghtod parlors
all last winter for careless men to trip
ever have ontlroly disappeared and in
tholr room wo have unusually lurgo and
elaborately upholstered ottotnaoH

terials there are gobelin tapestries in

DEFINITION OF ' NUISANCE "
Uriel'Inquiry Into the Ijcanl Slr-anlnc
of the Word
Boston ilordld : What is a uuisanco ?
Many will ask , but how few outsldo the
legal profession can define And yet
the law of nuisauco rests on ono of the
most fundamental principles of govern
ment , which is that every man shall so
use his own as not to injurb another in
the on joymont of his rights Wo call
i govornmonta socialcompact " In the
6avago state society is u jungle for wild
beasts , in which every rattlesnake has
an inalienable right to bite , where hfo
is a battle a struggle for oxistouco
Society is organized to do away with
this llfe-and-death struggle and lo
guarantee to all equal rights Wo form
a social compact I give up my liberty
to murder you , and you give up your
liberty to murder mo Your hobby may
be a hog pen , another's a cesspool , mine
a slaughter house ; but wo muluully give
up our liberty to injure ono another
with our hog pens , cesspools and
slaughter houses Strictly speaking ,
any use of property injurious or
annoying to another's rights is a
nuisance Two things are necessary to
constitute a nuisance : A right and an
injury No matter how much your line
taste may bo violated by the architect
ural structure of your neighbors house
it is not a uuisanco because no right is
violated So I may not like the looks of
your pig pen , but I can look the ether
way • When , however , your pig pen
gives off otlonsivo odors , it is a nuisance ,
because every man has a right to pure
air There must bo not simply a viola
tion of a right to constitute a nuisance ,
but the violation of the right must make
somebody uncomfortable , Ono cannot
urge that ho is especially dainty or fas
tidious , but auy use of property which
renders uncomfortable a plain , or
dinary American is a nuisance
The nuisance need not bo injurious
to health It is enough if it is
annoying to the senses Nuisances
nro sometimes classified as public , private -
vato and mixed the latter being a
public nuisance in which some private
person iB entitled to special damages for
some speciul injury Nuisaucos nro
also classified as (1) ( ) uuisancos per so In
themselvod , and (2) ( ) occupations which
may become nuisances through neglecter
or improper uses Decaying matter is
a nuisance in itself ; n slaughter house
may become so because of its improper
location Most nuisances may bo classi
fied as violations olthor of our rights lo
pure air or pure water Every man has
a right to air uncontnminntod by nox
ious vapors , odors or noises *
