WASHINGTON, May 2S.-The com mittee
appointed to investigate the affairs OF the
supervising architects office, met this morn
ing and adjourned till Thursday.
Merrck began the closing argument for
the government in the star route trial this
morning.
Merrick said that in summing up the
case he would deal with the evidence with
lrankness, candor and sincerity; that those
who knew him would recognize it as the
controlling principles of his life. The coun
sci who preceded him cautioned the Jury
against epithets, when he might well have
taken the advise to himself The prisoners
wives ana families were not on trial, but
the prisoners themselves, To attempt to
assail the hearts OF the Jury by tears and
provoking pathos was an ingenious device
showing an appreciation of the fact that
they could make no sound, logical
argument. What had tears to do with the
scales OF justice? Cast them out; they were
temptations held to beCkOn on to irfamy
and disgrace; those scales must contain
nothing but cold aud naked facts and the

In early times it was considered that
criminals accused of felony could not
be properly tried unless they consented
to the trial by pleading and putting
themselves on the country. After read
ing the indictment to him the question
was put: How say you-are you guilty
or not guilty." If he said "Not guilty,
the next question was, "Culprit, how
will you be tried?" To which the pris-
oner had to answer: by God and by
my country" If he willfully omitted
either portion of that answer he was
said to stand mute, and a jury was
sworn to say whether he stood mute of
malice or mute by the visitation of God.
If they found him mute of malice, that
was equivalent to pleading guilty in
cases of treason or misdemeanor; but
in cases of felony he was condemned,
after much exhortation, to the peine
forte ct dure-that is, to be stretched
naked on his back, and to have iron
laid upon, as much as he could bear,
and more, and so to continue. fed upon
bad bread and stagnant water on alter
nate days, till he either pleaded or died.
This strange rule was not abolished till
the year 1872, when standing mute in
cases of felony was made equivalent to
"a conviction. A case actually occurred
as late as 1926, when one Burnwater,
accused at Kingston Assizes of murder,
refused to plead, and was pressed for
an hour and three-quarters, with nearly
400 pounds of iron, after which he
pleaded not guilty, and was convicted
and hanged. In 1868 Maj. Strane-
ways was pressed to death. The OBJ
ject of refusing to plead was that, as in
that case there was no conviction, no
forfeiture took place, and the property
of the accused person was thus pre-
served for his heir. BldcklcOOd.

Modern Dentistry.

"Not the slightest pain" explained
the old dentist, adjusting the hard wood
gag that held the jaws of his victim
apart to their widest limit. Does it
hurt? Well, now, young man, filling
teeth, as do it, is like going to ma
tinee."
Meanwhile he had strapped the cul-
prit's head back in his chair, had cut q
small hole in sheet of rubber, and,
thrusting both his hands into the con-
demned's meuth, had forced the affiict-
ed tooth through the small aperture.

l Am the Doctor, Madam.

Surgeon Blank was noted for his sue
cess with the ladies. He never liked
TO poke along at the rear of the regi-
ment in accordance with regulation
rule, and was finally made Brigade
Surgeon for no better reason than that
he might ride with the General at the
head of the column. This increased
his opportunities for forming acquaint-
ances, and, as he remarked, enlarged
his circle of usefulness.
On one occasion as the General, staff
and escort were riding, easily through a
pleasant country, some distance in adj
vance of the infantry, fire of musketry
brought the detachment TO halt. The
cavalry were ordered to go forward and
discover what the trouble was, with in
structions to report to the General at a
house near which they had stopped.
The cavalry went, and the General
sending instructions to the regimental
commanders behind, went with the staff
officers in o the house. They sat near
the fire in large room. Opposite the
fire was low bed ON which reclined a
woman apparently sick. She had a
comely face, and did not appear
to be suffering much. The
surgeon was quick to see the advantage
he,possessed over the officers. Laying
aside his hat and gloves, he assumed a
professional air and approached the in
valid. Il am the surgeon, madam.
Are you sick ?" No answer. The doc
tor repeated: 81 am the doctor, madam
perhaps / can help you" The woman
did not seem to hear him. Conscious
of the smiles of his fellow-oflicers, and
conscious, too, that he was very much
confused, the doctor, in sort of des-
peration, repeated: IL am the doctor,
madam; l am the physician; l am the
surgeon, you know" Even this en-
phatic statement elected no reply. The
doctor thereupon took up the hand of
the woman, and proceeded to feel her
pulse, saying, as he seated himself III a
chair near the bed: IL am doctor,
and 1 think 1 can help you" At last
the woman turned her head and said in
a twanging, doubling tone: "Be you,
now? Then you air the nineteenth
doctor who has felt my pulse this morn
ing"
The doctor retired abashed. The
bummers had passed over the road, and
every hummer had represented himself
as a doctor, and had felt the woman's
pulse and gravely expressed his convic-
tion that he could help her. The firing
in front was caused by bummers who
had been practicing on running porkers.
The doctor heard this report, and, for
getting to prescribe for the woman.

An Ape's Revenge.

Apes, when their anger is aroused,
are very dangerous creatures, as they
will dare almost anything in order to
avenge their wrongs. Many of their
deeds of revenge are we'll known, but
the following anecdote, which comes
from Italy, is as amusing as any that
we have yet heard of. ii Rosso, dis
ciple of Angelo, resided in Florence in
a house overlooking garden belonging
to some friars. III Rosso possessed an
ape which was on friendly terms with
one of his apprentices called Battistoni,
who employed the animal to steal the
friars' grapes, letting it down into the
adjacent garden and drawing it up
again by rope. The grapes being
missed a watch was set, and one day a
friar caught the ape in the very act.
He tried to infict thrashing, but the
ape got the best of it and escaped. III
Rosso, however, was sued, and his pet
sentenced to wear weight on its tail.
But few days elapsed ere the culprit
had an opportunity of avenging this in
suit. While the friar was performing
mass at a neighboring church the ape
climbed TO the part of the roof under
which the altar stood, and, to use Va
sari's words, performed SO lively a
dance with the weight on his tail that
there was not tile or vase left unbrok-
en-, and on the friars return torrent
of lamentations was heard that lasted
three days. "-HdTperS Young People.
