Those who have been mourning the
consequences of short corn crop, or
hoping to corner corn for gain, may
derive profit from the figures obtained
bya Milwaukee gentleman, which place
the total product of the United States
this season, at 1921. 100, 900 bushels
the largest, with single exception,
ever harvested in this country. The
information obtained by the the gen
tleman referred to shows that the yield
in Michigan, Minnesota and Wiscon-
sin is about half the average crop,
and in Wisconsin it is very nearly a
total failure. The increase of the
crop in other states swells the aggre-
gate yield.

EcIanm CONSUMPTION Cure.

The greatest lung medicine ever
discovered. Overwhelming testimony
accompanies every bottle, proving it
to be the greatest medicine ever Of
ferred to the public. As an expec-
torant it has no equal. Eclegm Con-
sumption Cure invariably cures
coughs, colds, Group, boarseness, and
is indispensable to orators and vocal
lists, because it strengthens the lungs
and imparts to the voice a fuIlness and
clearness of tone that cannot be at
tanned otherwise. The Eclegm is
purely vegetable, and is natures best
assistant in curing throat troubles.

SUPREME COURT DECISION.

The supreme court of the United
States has decided that when an attor-
ney has violated the law and disgraced
his profession, court can disbar him
without waiting for his trial and convic-
tion. J. B. Wall, Florida lawyer, be-
came weary of the monotony of legal
proceedings and INDUCED in the amuse-
ment of taking a prisoner out of Jail and
lynching him. Judge Locke, of the
United States district court, summoned
the lawless attorney before him, heard
what he had to say, and disbarrea him.
Wall would not admit that the Judge
had power to disbar him for having taken
a little recreation of that kind, and he
asked the supreme court to compel the
Judge to restore him to the bar. The
supreme court sustained Judge Locke.
An attorney is an officer of the court,
and it is his duty to assist the court
in administering justice. A layman
who lynches man who is awaiting trial
commits very grave crime; but a
lawyer and officer of the court who
joins him in the work deserves even Sc
veTer punishment. Judge Field, who
dissented in this case, admitted that an
attorney might be disbarred, before
trial, fer improper conduct in his pro-
fessional business. IF this be so, then
greater offerses and indictable crimes
ought not TO be ignored by the courts.
A more vigorous enforcement of rules
in this direction would have an excellent
effect in many courts, where men who
have been indicted more than once for
jury-fxing and other crimes are still de-
tending criminals. One of the lawyers
who has appeared for the Star route de-
PENDANTS in both trials was indicted three
or four years ago for jury-fxing, and is
now under Indictment for another crime.
Courts are lenient to such offenders, but
Judge Locke seems to have thought that
he must draw the line somewhere, and
he drew it when he reached the crime of
lynching.

In the court of general sessions, New York,
on the 3Oth, Mrs. Quinquienet was adjudged not
guilty of murder in the killing of Desire Haul
vett, in February last. 1t appeared by the
evidence of Sergeant Scbmillberger that the
victim of the tragedy entered the house occu-
pied by the prisoner and her husband, and
after few moments came out and dropped
dead on the sidewalk. The prisoner testified
in her defense. 1t appears that Hauvett,
whom she had known for number of years,
but had not seen for some time, visited her in
the absence of her husband. Finding her
alone be attempted to assault her, when she
picked up a large knife and struck him with it.

ELECTRIC NAVJ CATION.

Professor Silvanus P, Thompson has
Just recorded in Ma ture the successful
experimental trip on the Thames of an
electric beat. This; model little craft was
designed by Mr.. A. Rockenzaun, and
built of iron, with screw propeller cal
culateG to run at $50 revolutions per
minute and two Siemens motors. On
board were slowed forty live boxes, each
cube of about ten inches in size, being
electric accumulators, designed by Messrs.
SelloR & Volckmar as modification of
the Plante accumulation. Fully charged
with electricity by wires leading from
the dynamos in works on shore, they
were calculated to supply power for six
hours at the rate of four horse power.
Though the experimental trip of the lit
tie vessel was notprotracted she attained
q maximum speed of nearly eight knots
an hour against the tide. The success
of this new venture in driving boat by
an electro magnetic engine is apparently
more complete than any of a like kind
hitherto recorded. The invention of the
electromagnetic long ago showed the
possibility of such application of an
electric current to do mechanical work,
and in 1888 Professor jacob, of st.
Petersburg, constructed an electric boat,
driven by an electromagnetic motor,
worked by Daniel battery, which,
when tried on the Neva, attained speed
of about mile and a quarter per hour.
NJ. Trouve, of Paris, about two years ago
built an electric skiff furnished with a
motor driven by battery of Plante &C
cumulators, previously charged, and
which was reported as a success. 1t is
not likely that this new application of
stored electricity will shortly be found
economical enough to supersede steam,
even for driving small vessels. It is,
however, in favor of electric navigation
that such machinery, as Professor
Thompson says, may be both lighter and
more compact than steam engines; it is
also freer from noise and vibratory
motion and is smokeless. It is not i'm
probable that electric boats may come
into use in considerable degree for
river and barbor purposes.

AN OLD SWINDLE.

4 time .honored sWindle has been re-
vived in New York. Some days ago
there appeared in the columns of city
paper an advertisement calling for the
services of a bright young man to act as
" travelling salesman and collector" it
being particularly stipulated that ap-
plicants should come well recommended
and ready to furnish good security. An
address In Fourteenth Street was ap-
pended to the notice. Ameng those who
called III response to it was young man
of good connections and some means.
He found his way into small but we'll
furnished Office in the building indicated,
and was greeted with much politeness
by gentleman of venerable appearance
and the best address. This gentleman
informed him that he was the advertiser.
that he did large business in Philadel-
phia and other cities near New York, and
that he found it necessary to employ a
young man to make collections in those
places. He stated further that for this
service he would pay salary of $40 a
week and travelling expenses, and that in
order to protect himself he would be
obliged to ask from the person he en-
ployed cash deposit of 5000 as security.
Fer this deposit, however, he would
give Ga duly executed receipt -
and bind himself to return the
money on demand. All this
was stated with so much frankness, and
the terms seemed SO just to both parties,
that the yeung man, eongratulating him
self on his good fortune, hurried off to a
neighboring savings bank, where he had
money to his credit, drew $500, and,
placing it in the hands of his venerable
employer, received in return ''a duly
executed receipt" The next day, "upon
most urgent business" he was sent to
Philadelphia with instructions to hire a
room and await further orders. Ten
dollars were given him for his expenses.
He is still awaiting orders. He went to

,Fisk's Famous Brilliant.

The Boston Traveller is authority for
the story touching the famous diamond
which once did duty as pharos in the
immaculate and expansive shirt-bosom
of the late Jim Fisk. Just before the
panic of 1878 certain friends of Fisk SUBJ
scribed 81 900 each to the amount of
$40, 600, and purchased a diamond, which
was then In the rough state, and after it
had been carefully cut by German dia-
mOnd cutters, it was presented to the
redoubtable colonel of the 9th Regiment,
n. Y. S. M. When cut the stone weighed
fifteen carats. After Fisk's death his
widow had the stone resetin mourning
ring. Adversely followed, and she was
compelled to part with it. In due course
of time it came into the possession of
DR.. George FL. Baily, of this city. About
year ago, at the Quincy House, DR..
Bailey met with the father of Fisk, who
Immediately identified the stone as that
which had obtained celebrity in con-
nection with his son, and an affecting
scene ensued when the old gentleman
once more took in his hand the gem
which had been worn by his son. Short
~ after the Equine Paradox began it's
engagement at the Windsor Theater,
Mr.. Frank D. Mcclure, of Denver, Col. ,
one the proprietors of that interest
ing exhibition, began negotiations with
DR.. Bailey, which resulted in the sale to
Mcclure of this famous solitaire. If
the stone is not as celebrated as the
Koh-i-noor, the Great Mogul. the Reg
ent, or the other historical diamonds, it
nevertheless has its own story, and is
certainly one of the finest stones in the
country, being noted for its perfect
clearness, with the exception of one
black spot, which resembles tiny fly,
the wings seeming to be very clearly in
