The Mayor of -Truro Sent to Jail by
g Ia1 Legislature.
No event in connection with Nova
Scotia politics .since the explosion from
the Legislature of D. B. Woodworth 15
years ago has:excited the interestmani-
fested over ':the jailing : of David J.
Thomas, mayor of Truro, for contempt.
Mr. Thomas is one of the wealthiest men
in Coldhester county, and was the un-
animous choice of the town for mayor.
Mr. Lawrence, recorder of the town, is
a member of the Province' Legislature.
The town wanted to dismiss Mr. Law-
rence
awrence from the recordership and Law-
rence is alleged to have secured the
passage of an Act making appointment
of all recorders of towns for life at a
salary of 6400. A few weeks ago the
council preferred charges against Law-
rence, dismissed him from office and
petitioned the Legislature to repeal the
office -for -life law, conspiring to pass
which through the Legislature was one
of the charges against Lawrence. The
sending of this petition was regarded as
a breach of privilege, and for this the
mayor was summoned to the bar of the
House. The Leo slature, however, re-
garding the offer as a petty affair, passed
a very weak resolution of reprimand,
but the mayor refused again to attend
at the bar to hear the resolution read
and went home. This was regarded as
a gross insult to the dignity of Parlia-
ment, and the sergeant -at -arms, with
his tin sword. and a posse of police, were
despatched to Truro to bring the cul-
prit to justice. The mayor was accom-
panied to the depot by a procession and
wildly cheered on his departure. The
leading citizens chartered a special
train and . escorted their chief
magistrate to Halifax. He was brought
to the bar of the House last night, " and
bis case was discussed until within a
few moments of Sunday. The House
was packed with an excited crowd.
•The precincts of the chamber and cor-
ridors were lined with people and de p
tectives, the Government evidently fear-
ing either an attempt at rescue or a riot.
Special orders were given that Hugh
McD. Henry, Q. C., the leading lawyer
of the province, should not be permitted
to see his client, the mayor. Mr. Henry
sought an interview with Premier Field-
ing, in which very emphatic language
was used and a personal encounter
seemed eminent. Then Henry pushed
his ;vay through the guard of police to
where the. Mayor was confused, when he
found that Attorney -General Longley
had prepared an apology that he desired
tbe_tnayor to offer. The mayor's wife
was at his side insistingthat he choose
death rather than dishonor, and stiffen-
ing his back -bone against apologizing.
Meanwhile the Legislature was discuss-
ing the legal aspects, the Government
party loudly demanding thatethe honor
of Parliament be maiUtained, and the
Opposition insisting that there was no
law wide , which the mayor could be
punished, :and those who voted for it
would lay themselves open to damages
for false imprisonments At midnight
'- "" resehit?on of Premier Fielding car-
copantitting the mayor to the com-
men jail far 28 hours, . and his worship
was marchedthrough the corridors amid
aestite cheers of the assemblage to the
Prison van. To -day (April 24) he held
ption and was visited by leading
-Citizens: Upon his return to Truro he

The excitement over the case was in-
creased when A wis:learned that Mayor
Thomas.was released from jail by an
order from the Supreme 'Court. The
case is; unpireeeeVated in the political.

slowly, and you will achive what the
Frenchmen consider the great art—yon
will dine, not merely feed yourself.But
there are afew little questions about the
etiquette of the table that some girls
want to know, and these I am going to
tell her. She must hold her knife by
its handle, and never let her fingers
reach up to its blade. Whenever it is
possible, a fork must be used in place of
a spoon, and that same spoon, by the by,
must never be left in a coffee or tea cup,
but laid to rest politely and securely in
the saucer. Glasses with handles are
held by them. A goblet should be caught
by the stein, the fingers not entwining
the bowl part. Don't butter a large
pieee of bread and take bites from it ;
instead, break your bread in small pieces,
one at a time, and butter it; that is if
you are eating butter, and convey it to
your month by your fingers. Olives,
celery, radishes, strawberries with
stems, and asparagus, are all: eaten with
the fingers. The old method of eating
cheese with a khife has been given up,
a fork being used in its place. The use
of many small dishes for vegetables is
not in good taste ; indeed, many vege-
tables should not be served at one time.
