A FORGIVING WOMAN. Her Husband Threw Her Down the Fire Escape but She Stood by Him. The New York Sun tells of Big Jim Connelly, the gas house laborer, who was arrested for throwing his wife from the fire escape of the flat where they lived at (545 West Forty—second str-aet, to the yard, two stories below. Conuelly happened to be brought be- fore the court yesterday morning be- cause his wife Anna, who is only 17 years old, was discharged on Satur— day from Bellevue Hospital, where she had been since the assault was made. When Connelly was brought into court, his wife was asked to take the witness stand against him. This she refused to do. Nothing that the Mag- istrate could say would induce her to testify against her husband. Finally, after coa-xing and pleading, Magis- trate Flammer said: “Young woman, if you do ‘uot tell us, under oath. the facts in this case, I’ll commit you to prison for con- tempt of court.” . “I don’t care for your commitment,” said Mrs. Connolly. “Send me to prison if you like; you’ll get nothing from me.” “Make out the papers and commit her,” ordered the Magistrate. With a vision of a term of impris- onment before her, Mrs. Connolly con- cluded to go on the stand. She said that her husband had not thrown her from the fire escape, or even thought of it. ‘ Policeman Manning of the West Forty-seventh street station, who ar- rested Connolly, said that while no one actually saw the prisoner throw his wife down the fire escape, he could produce two women tenants of the house who heard Mrs. Connolly cry, as she clung to the escape before her husband pushed her off: “He’s done it! He’s done it!” The Magis- trate directed the policeman to pro- duce the witnesses. Then there was a scene. Mrs. Con- nolly, finding that her husband could not go free, fell upon his neck and sobbed as if her heart would break. “Oh, Judge! Let him go! Let him go,” she cried between sobs. He didn’t do it! He didn’t do it! He wouldn’t do it! He wouldn’a do it. “Oh, Judge, let him go, or let me stay with him! I wont leave him. He was always a good boy. He gave me all the money he earned at the gas house, and I put it in the bank in my name, and he never said a word.” The husband and wife had to be separated by court officers. When Connolly was led away to his cell his wife fairly screamed: “Let him go, I tell you. If you don’t let him go, I’ll go out and kill myself. Let him go! or my curse be upon you! May you never live to see the light of another day in this court! You're a fine Judge! You judgenoth- ing. Let him go, I tell you! Oh, dear Judge, let him go!" A Considerate Woman. “Excuse me, sir.” she said, as she took her place at the head of the pro- cession—a place which strOng and brave men could have reached only by wading through gore—“I would like to ask you a question.” “Certainly.” “Are times really hard?” “There isn’t any use of trying to conceal it. In a good many branches of industry the depression is very se- rious.” “I’m ever so much obliged to you,” she responded, and turned to go away. “If you were worrying about any particular investment, I might be able to give you some advice.” “No. It wasn’t anything especial. I just wanted to satisfy myself that times are hard. I don’t really wish to annoy my husband with my ex- penses, and I thought the best thing to (do was to come and find out for certain whether times are hard or whether it is merely the same story that he has been telling me every year when the styles come in.”-—Washing— ton Star. Turned the Tables. An Irish witness was being exam- ined as to his knowledge of'a shoot- ing affair. . “Did you see- the shot fired?” the Magistrate asked. “No, sorr, I only heard it,” was the evasive reply. “That evidence is not satisfactory,” replied the Magistrate, sternly— “stand down!“ ' ' The witness proceeded to leave the box, and directly his back was turned he laughed derisively. The Magistrate, indignant at this contempt of court, called him back, ' and asked him how he dared to laugh in court. “Did ye see me laugh, Your Honor?” queried the offender. “No, sir, but I heard you,” was the irate reply. “That evidence is not satisfactory,” said Pat, quietly, and with a twinkle in his eye. And this time everybody laughed except the Magistrate.——Tid-Bits. Not Necessary. Pastor—I hope you are a Christian. my little man. Do you say your prayers night and morning?

MRS. LEASE’S EPI'GRAMS. She Ring-3 a Merry Change on the Gould- Castelaine \Vedding. An exchange is reporting a meeting Kansas spoke, had this to say of the noted woman: , Mrs. Lease is apparently proud of her voice. She used it as spectacu- larly as she could, ringing in one’s ears when any occasion gave the vaguest excuse. But it is an admirable voice for pub- lic speaking, for it is clear, resonant, and possessing a deep tone in its car- rying quality, which has done so much to make Mrs. Lease successful as an outdoor speaker. ‘ She had none of the coquetries of a woman. Mrs. Lease on the platform is masculine. and she exhibits a strength in her endurance which is not the possession of many of her sex. The matter of her speech was not as notable as the manner of it. She seemed to enjoy the mouth-filling plat- itudes of the graduating day, when all virtue is godllke and all vice the possession of men. But Once in a while she abandoned the valedictory phrases, and then she apparently deeply impressed her hearers. Among other things she said were these which aroused the most notable instances of enthusiasm: “New liberties cannot live with the old tyrannies; the ideas of freedom that today stir the heart of man, the grand idea of socialism, cannot live under the old forms of tyranny, be they Old World royalty or British gold. “Increased production without in- creased consumption‘ is valueless. We are confronted by the menace of un- employed labor—a condition which makes it possible for one or two men to become landlords of this proud city, while God’s poor are packed, seared and starving in the slums. “Here is a condition which enables a mouse trap peddler to pay $2,000,- 000 for an impoverished French count and then spend $50,000 for a‘ break- fast after the sale. while 20,000 Amer- ican citizens go to work without any breakfast at all. “We are setting aside the compact which made our nation great—the con- stitution of the United States—and substituting therefor the gold stand- ard of our hereditary foe, Great Brit- ain. “Aristocracy of royalty and aristoc- racy of gold since the world began have crushed'the common people. The first is dying out, but the aristocracy or gold is more potent, more greedy, more disastrous to labor than was ever royalty, in all the plenitude of its power.” A Light In the Window. A l"f fit shines all night from an up- per v- indow of John Y. McKane’s big home on Voorhees avenue, Sheeps- head Bay. Every evening his wife places it~there—-“so that John may see the way when he comes home,” she says. “He went away in the morning, but I always think that he will come back after sunset, and I want him to know that we are waiting for him." When the King of Gravesend was sent to prison two years ago for vio- lations of the election laws his wife bore the blow better than“ her friends thought she might. She hoped for pardon. - She thought at first GOvernor Flower would act immediately, and then knew pardon was impossible un- til the strength of public sentiment against her husband had abated. As months went by and no friends arose, her hope did not die, but the daily dis- appointment wore on her health until now her physician says she has not long to live. Her separation from her husband has been her lightest burden, his dis- grace her keenest affliction. He has sufiered only in pride and has grown fat in prison. The ignominy he scarcely feels has crushed the wo- man’s heart and broken it. She lights the lamp at evening and looks down the walk to the gate, which is never opened by the hand she longs to see upon the latch.

I \' - A Chicago paper details the pranks of a windowful of monkeys which a dealer. in animals keeps to amuse the public, and attract attention to ‘his business. There is almost always a crowd watching them. One day lately a man came to wash outside of the Window in which these animals spend their days. He had a long pole with a sponge at its end and a pail of water. ‘As he washed, the monkeys watched him with great curiosity; and presently one of them, who looked like as little weazened old (man, sieized a small block of wood which'lay in the bottom of the cage, dipped it Carefully into the din- Der-pan, and began rubbing the bars of the cage vigorously. He stOpped-; watched the move- ments of the man, resumed his ru-b- b‘ing, and imitated the man as closely as he could. This he continued until after the window-washer. had finished his work. The crowd which observed this pro- ceeding was naturalhr much inter- ested, and the old-faced monkey has since been known as “window-washing Mike."
