One of. Wisconsin's (U.S.) strange new laws passed by tho last Legislature, ami commonly known as the "Gossip Law," lias been applied for'the first timo by tho arrest at Marionette of Peter Kosoki* who belongs to Niagara. Tho law provides that gossip shall bo subject to legal penalties under the same conditions as slander, though with milder punishment, tho amount of malice in the conversation being the distinguishing point between slander and gossip. The charge preferred against Kesoski was that of calling a Miss liosa Burney. of Niagara, by an unsavory name in conversation with friends in ai) hotel bar.
