KANAAs CITY, Sept. 6.-The topic of
conversation upon the streets this even
Ing is the Frank James acquittal.
There are many who say they expected
1t, but the majority looked for q dis
agreement OF the jury. Public senti-
ment can be quoted as strong in condem.
nation of the verdict, although there are
those who argue from legal standpoint
that the jury Was justifiable in acQuit
ting, the states evidence being made up
of Liddil's testimony, supported only by
circumstantial evidence. The general
feeling, however, ID one Of dls&ppoint-
ment and chagrin that the strong chain
of evidence woven by the state failed Ia
stand.
Expressions of sympathy with the
prisoner or satisfaction over his acqult
tai are confined to s very few, who are
and have been James friends. and can
be taken in no way whatever as indica.
tons OF actual public sentiment. A
frequent expression Is: 1.-THE verdict il
an outrage and an unjust stigma on the
state" and charges OF jury fixing alsC
are banded about.

Romance Of a Peer.

Lord Congleton, who died recently,
says London Life, was man of marked
eccentricity of manner, but his blunt
speech and brusqueness of bearing COW
cred warm and kindly heart. He was
an ardent supporter of the sect known as
plymouth Brethren,"n and it was his
devotion to this peculiarform Of worship
that involved him in rather strange
match. While travelling in Persia with
q friend he succeeded in converting an
Armenian lady, Madame Lazar, widow
of an Armenian merchant, to q belief in
this peculiar form of worship. Convert
ing her was, comparatively, simple
business; but then arose the question.
What is to be done next? Prcpriety for
bade that these two guileless gentlemen
should travel about accompanied by o
handsome widow; while, were she left
behind, her heather relations would
make short work of her, or her Christi
anity. For the sake of her soul she must
not be left, so one of them must marry
her! 1t was agreed that, after the man
ner of the Scriptures, lots should be cast
to decide who was to become the happy
Benedict. The lot fell to Lord Congle-
ton. who at once crrried out the contract,
and lived very happy with the lady until
her death.
