An Episode In Real Life.
Waco Reporter.l

During the trial of young Blank en-.
ship, yesterday, charged with an assault
with intent to kill, the Courthouse was
crowded. The jury was empannelled
without difficulty, when Major Peare
rose, ON the part of the State, and pre-
sented the papers in the csss Of His
Honor, Judge Saunders. ila l-at1
The Judge briefly charged the Jury as
fallows: "The State believing that the
evidence which could be produced by
the State, was not sufficient for conyic-
ton, as the evidence adduced at the in.
vestigating court. the shooting appeared
to be accidental; and therefore in con-
sidsration Of the extreme youth of the
prisoner, he not being of an age that he
could be convicted Of felon, and, con-
curing fully with the District Attorney,
the jury will find the defendant not
guilty" attiif1 alat iall 4alai
The jury never left the box, and
handed in their verdict in accordance
with the instruction Of the Court. The
prisoner, small boy, probably some
ten or twelve years old, rose to receive
his discharge from the Judge, and if we
doubt not. the solemnity Of that scene
will dwell on his mind until he Il called
before that Great, Judge who rules the
Universe. After . few pointed and feel

quite late and were up very early this

other criminals, they came out on the
balcony, and fitting back in cane-seated
chairs, spent few hours in reading the
morning papers, receiving callers, and
discussing the situation, About noon
they retired to their cells to rest or med

Tus letter of Blaine to Warren Fisher

The letter of Blaine to Warren Fisher
published yesterday in the New York
,Sp in which he offers in consideration
of bride of twenty-five thousand dol
lars to procure for Fisher the 1921 in
terest in the entire franchise and stock
of the Northern Pacific railroad, is the
heaviest document yet adduced against
this ambitious presidential aspirant
Blaine, it seems, failed to secure the in
terest he had promised so lavishly and
was forced to disgorge five thousand.
The blusterers chances for the presi-
dency don't brighten under such damn
ing disclosures

NEW COUNTIES.
Totns Eaisor of the Dallas Herald {.

1t is extremely gratifying to note that
\ when the bill for dividing Young and
Bexar territories into fifty odd new
counties, every county name proposed
for living man was stricken out. II is
right and in good taste, Immediately
after annexation, unthoughtedly q num-
Der of counties were named for men
still living, but generally old tried ser
wants Of the people. But more than
twenty years ago, after due considera-
ton, it became the policy Of the State
ITO name new counties first for any noted
istrcam, mountain or other natural OBJ
bot which would identify its locality,
As Wichita, Concho, Uyalde,
San Haba, etc., and secondly, after our
deceased heroes, statesmen and pion-
eers. A County nsme is o perpetual
memorial OF q peoples esteem, and
should be bestowed on no man till his
record Is made up. Death completes
his course and we cannot be deceived
by subsequent action. There may be
exceptions, of course, as in the case Of
an aged patriot, entirely withdrawn
from public life.
In two cases at least in this State
counties have been named for living
men upon their personal opportunities
before members Of the Legislature, and
in case the name was distasteful TO the
zcoplA concerned In one strong dis
yet exists to have the name
'fIn 1873 another case occurred in civ

For the protection Of this timber and
to prevent its being wantonly destroyed
and carried away the naval authorities
from time to time appoint agents for
the ostensible purpose Of guarding the
same.
To show how faithfully these agents
perform their duties, how sacredly they
guard the interests of the Government
against trespassers and evil-doers, de
sire to introduce and read portions of
testimony taken before one of the COM
mittees of this House.

A Sad Incident Of the Floods.

The floods which have caused SO much
havoc among property in New England
fortunately caused but little lossof life
compared with the fatal results of SINH
lar events. One of the saddestincidents
in connection with the late disasters oc-
CURED at Taftsville, Conn. 1t became
necessary to strengthen the approach to
the west side of the dam, and men and
material were ferried across the river in
a boat at safe distance above the dam.
Two trips had been made, and George
Blackman, a young man about twenty
five years old, was returning alone.
While he was crossing, great mass of
beams and timbers from the ruins above
ioated down the river, and closed about
his boat. He tried desperately to escape
from it while it bore him steadily toward
the dam, but he was so surrounded that
he could not. He struggled terribly till
he was within hundred feet of the fall,
and then dropping his oar, rose to his
feet. The helplessness of his situation
was plain. but he made no sign, and as the
boat yielded to the impetus Of the swifter
current near the brink be gave no cry.
The boat shot over the dam, he still
standing erect, and both were lostin the
furious waters beneath. The boat reap
peared farther down the stream. but the
man who met his death so bravely was
never seen again. To add to the horror
of the scene. his wife, standing with the
hundreds of spectators on the shore, was
witness of all the terrible tragedy. Mr..
Blackman was a man Of fine character
and highly esteemed. He had only re-
Gently married, his wife being daugh-
ter of Rev. R. P. Stanton, of Greene
Vile.

About Hating.

Hate not. 1t is not worth while.
Your life is not long enough to make it
pay to cherish ill will or hard thoughts
toward any one. What if this man has
cheated you, or that woman played you
false? What if this friend has fersaken
you in time of need, or that one having
won your utmost confidence, your warm
est love, has concluded that he prefers to
consider and treat you as stranger
Let it all pass. What difference will it
make to you in few years, when you go
to the undiscovered country? A few
more smiles, few more pleasures, much
pain, little longer hurryiDg and worry
ing through the world, some hasty greet
ings and abrupt farewells, and our play
viii be "played out" the injured will
be led away and ere long forgotten. Is
it worthy to hate each other?

a Mechanical DetectiYe.

To what perfection may not mechanl-
cal appliances be brought In the future,
Judging by the progress made in that di-
rection during the last century, The
microscope has recently completed cir
cumstantial evidence against amurderer,
forging the links so strongly that numer-
Gus witnesses, swearing to an abb, were
of no avail in the criminals behalf. The
latter, having enticed young girl to
cornfeld, there killed her with butch
ers knife. Suspicion being directed to
the man, close examination OF bis gar
ments elected, first, blood spots, second,
soil and vegetable matter on his shoes,
and lastly, shredsof woolen fabric sticking
to his coat. To all of these substances
the microscope was applied. The blood
was declared to be human, and its nature
and probable age determined; the soil
was pronounced identical with that of
the field in which the murder took place,
the particles Of vegetable matter were
recognized as bits of corn stalks and
leaves, and the identity of the dyed wool
with the material of which the girls
shawl was made was established. This,
together with other evidence adduced,
despite the ingenious theories put forth
by the defense, convinced the jury, who
found the prisoner guilty, thus consign-
ing him to the gallows. The crime Ct
mnrderis attended with frightful risks to
the criminal, nowadays-that is, as far
as his detection is concerned. As to the
probability Of his enduring to the full
