ing n. sermon on tho political situation.
Tho church was llllcd, n number of silver
men who disapproved of tho doctor's views
being In tho congregation. Somo of those
made uiiflatterlng comments on leaving
tho church nftor tho sermon. 'When tho
doctor was told of thoso comments ho ro-
marked:
'Thoro Is mora In this thing than tho

near future I am going to speak my mind
about tho troatniont of labor by capital. I
will not mlnco words, either.
Ono of tho visitors to tho church was

Democratic national committee.. Ho did
not wait to hear nil tho doctor had to say.
Mr. St. John Is ono of our duacons,
said Dr. Parkhurst after tho service.
Tho pronehcr led up to what ho had to
say about tho campaign by an argument
in which ho tried to show that it was lm
posslblo to mako anything without ma
terial and impossible to build a structure
without a good foundation. Among other
things ho said:

THE DILEMMA OF A JUSTICE
He Was Duped by a Shrewd ani Tricky
1'ole.
A "STRAW" PROSECUTOR WAS USED
Tho Trlcl: Discovered by the Appearance
of the Real Complainant The Justice
Now Has His Inning and Hold!
the Trickster for Trial.
Justico Cardin found hlnwlf In a predica
ment Saturday night and for an hour or two
lie was so hot under tho collar that it whs
not safe for anyone to stand before his desk
and misbehave. Tho cause of dlscomforturo
was tlio perpetration of n fraud by n man
who had been nriested and got tho case
settled by presenting n straw" prosecutor
beforo the Justice. The tik-k was such n
good one that it affords considerable amuse
ment nt tho expense of tho Justice, yet it
also furnishes a warning fur other dispensers
of justice.
It appenrs that one day last week ono of
tlio prominent Polish citizens of town was
arrested on a chargo of assault and lmttery
and put under ball by Justice Cardin for
trial, Anight or two after tlio man appeared
before Justice Cardin and ollered to pay tho
costs and settle tho suit. He was told that
no settlement could be mudo without the
consent ut the prosecutor. All right, 1 go
fetchin him," said tho man, who left tho
otlico without fuitber urging tlio matter,
About half nn hour later the man returned
with n companion who said be was willing to
withdraw the suit and lie signed tho Justice's
docket to clinch tlio bargain after tlio costs
wore paid. Tlio men left the office and tho
Justice thought no more of the ease until
Saturday night, when a third man entered
tlio office and asked, "Mr. Squire, when dat
case comin' up in court?" A few Interroga
tions and replies followed and then tlio
Justice exclaimed rather pettishly, "Why,
man, didn't you agreo to settle that case the
other night upon payment of the costs and
didn't you sign tho docket to thatctlect?
Tho impatience of the Justice changed to
staggering astonishment when tho calle
presented prouf that ho was the real prose
cutor In the caso nod thnt ho had not signed
anything of the kind. In fact, lio protested
ho had not seen tho prosecutorsinco tho nlgli
too caso was Instituted.
Forn time Justice Cnrdln hung between
doubt and despair, but after somo rcllectiou
ho saw n way out of tuo dilemma. Anothe
warrant was Ksucd and tlio man who had
paid tlio costs was taken Into custody on
charge of subordinating forgery. When tlio
accused appeared lie admitted that lie got
friend to impersonate tli,o real prosocntor in
ttie case, but ho laughingly ndded, Neve
mind, Mr. Squire, mo payin' moro costs now
aud settleln." Not tins time, said the Justice
and the trickster was put under $300 ball to
appear for trial at court on tlio second and
moro serious charge.
.justice (.arum says that he has so many
i-oiisii ami l.itnuanians neluro mm in cases
and, ns n rule, these people resemble eacl
other so much to or.o who is too busy to mako
a closo inspection that it was quite easy fu
him to bo deceived, but ill the future ho will
bo moro particular as to identification
peoplo in such affairs.
Apropos with tins caso tlio Justice lias in
hands a claim for collection of wages from
tho P. & It. C. & I. Co. On a recent pay day
a Polish woman applied at tho Maple Hill
colliery for the pay of a man employed there
biio said the man to whom tho pay was duo
was her husband, and that lio could not call
himself ou nccount of illness. In-ide l-'uio-man
McDonald gao licr the money. Since
that time a second woman has claimed tlio
pay, which amounts to J30. It now appears
that the latter is the wife of tlio man entitled
to the money and who was ill on tlio pay
day. It is believed that somo shrewd connec
tion, or neighbor, of tho family perpetrated
the trick, but tlio woman has not been lu
catedand Foreman McDonald is out of pocket.
