A NEW DEPARTURE
with Regard 90 Jury Lists in Mur-
der Trials.


In the Criminal Court this morning
Judge wylie inquired of the prosecuting
attorney what was the intention OF his of
fee in regard to trying homicide cases at an
early day.
Mr.. Taggart said that the Governments
proposed to call some Of these cases soou.
His Honor wished 10 know how many
were for murder and how many for man
slaughter.
Mr.. Taggart said that mansaughter
might be involved in some of the cases,
but all of the accused would DO placed on
trial for murder.
Judge Wylio said that he was prompted
to make the inquiry on account OF the law
In relation TO murder trials. The statute
required that on each murder trial the ao-
cused was entitled to o list Of the panel of
Jurors two DAYS before the trial, which list
should be composed Of 20 names drawn
from the box. The present panel was not
SO constituted, and there were seven vac8n-
cies filed by talesmen or by persons picked
| up by the Marshal. In order TO comply
| with tho law he should order seven names
| TO DO drawn from the box, to DO united with
tho nineteen regularly drawn, and make
| full panel, and make perfect list to pre-
| sent to the party to be tried.
The venire was made returnable next
| Monday.
The attention Of the Court was called to
the fact that the box from which the
| jurors are drawn was to be turned over to
the commissioners this week, so that the
| re6lling could be completed before the
| March term began, and II the panel should
become exhausted, some trouble might
be experienced in gaining access to the
| box.
HE Honor said that il would be time
| enough to meet trouble Of that kind
| when it was reached.
This order of the Court is q now de-
| parture in regard to perfccting jury for q
homicide trial, and has given rise to diff
ference of opinion as to the legality of the
course pursued and whether conviction,
| ifobtained, could stand on appeal.
Subsequently the clerk Of the court car
| red out the order aud drew the following
| names from the box: Levi Woodbury., st.
James Hotel; Thos. a. Wiltberger, near
| Queenstown, ID. O.; Thos. A. Watson, 1903

WITH A CYNIC'S EYE.

MT. Irving, says Joe Howard in the Boston Herald, is an Englishman, who came here twenty-seven weeks ago, hard up, and has gone away with $75 ,000 clean cash in his brooches pockets Listen to this gush from a morning paper: "You will soon be homo again and happy" suggested Mir. Mccullough. A momentary shade of sadness passed over the features of Mir. Irving, and his eyes filled with tears. "1 am going home," he said after pause, "and shall be happy when get there, but seriously doubt, my friends, whether the happiness that awaits me will com pensate for the bitterness of this hour of parting" Now, considering that this mans life for fifty odd years has been in England, where he has reached the pinnacle of celebrity without much money, that his home and his family are there; and that his fifty years friendship are there, and that he left here only a few club and journalistic acquaintances, while he took away $75,- 900, don't you think the "pathos" in his face and those tears in his throat are a trifle exaggerated, dear boy?

BIG EELS.
Said to be Some of the Snakes Expelled
 by St. Patrick.

'u don't think the average American has much idea of what real big eel is," saiJ an old fisherman whC once caught mackerel and herrings of the deep sea-coasts of Ireland, but now earns his living by selling fish at the Sixth street Market. "When they see one little larger than usual they say it is a serpent. If they saw the con gers of the Irish coast they would have some reason to call them serpents, for, you know, there are no snakes in Ire land. St. Patrick drove them all into the sea, and it is common super stition that they became conger eels. You can't find them anywhere else in the world. Of course, they catch eels here, and everywhere, that they call conger, but they are no more like the Irish conger than sprat is like a sal mon. know it is hard to credit it, but have caught scores of them, each ten feet long and nearly as thick as mans thigh. They are only to be found in the deepest water and are fond of turk ing under great rocks. They are caught with stout line and hook, and will grab at any bait offered them. But fishermen don't much care to hook them, and when one is hauled into boat he makes, usually, an unwelcome addition to it's occupants. He lashes around like boa constructor. He never attacks a man, but if your feet gets into his mouth you must take his head oti to get it out again. An Irish fishing crew, however, is not likely to be long bothered with him. They daze him with a blow from boathook and then cut deep into the back of his neck; but even after that has been done he must be watched or he will pass quickly over the side and back into the sea- Gin cinnati News-Journal.

THE PANIC AND TINE BUGAB00.

An able-bodied Panic stood in the front door of Trinity Church, New York. Its countenance bore evidence of it's per plexity.
 "What bothers you this morning." asked Bugaboo, as it futtered down from the tall steeple where it had been overlooking Wall street.
 "My cherished scheme has fallen through" replied the Panic.
 "What scheme?"
 "1 had formed plan by which had calculated that would never have an other days work to de, but it has failed and don't understand how"
 "Everything IS failing these days But what was your plan?"
 "Well, you see, figured that if there were no money in America there would be no work for me to do, so got lot of English actors and lecturers to come over here."i
 "What to do?"
 "Why, to carry away the money, tc be sure. But, by some hitch which ] cannot understand, they don't seem to have got every last cent; and here I an with work enough to discourage any Panic that likes leisure. ."-[ Chicago News.

Oil your own wheel first.
 Above all things, reverence yourself.- [Pythagoras.
 He who puts bad construction on a good act reveals his own wickedness of heart.
 "Why don't you have some stile about your" said the man who had looked along mile of barbsd fence for an en- trance.

 A man has no right to occupy such high moral grounds that he is constantly so far above his fellows that he can be of no earthly assistance to them.

 We level the poor to the dust by our general policy, and take infinite credit to ourselves for raising them up with the grace of charity.
 A boy in one of our public schools, having been told that reptile is an animal that creeps, on being asked the name of one, promptly replied, "A baby"
 "Is your father Christian?" said a gentleman to little boy on one oc- casion. "Yes, sir" said the little boy "but believe he has not worked much at it lately"
 "Shall I take your love to your mother?" said lady visitor who was going to see the mother in question to a little child of three years. "She has my love-" was the quaint reply. Life is divided into three terms-that which was, which is, and which will be. Let us learn from the past to profit by the present, and from the present to live better for the future. If we have need of a strong will in order to do good, it is more necessary still for us in order not to do evil; from which it often results that the most modest life is that where .the force oi will is most exercised.

Bright student: 'Limp, too" If you are wise man, you will trea' the world as the noon treats it-show it only one side of yourself, seldom show yourself too much at time, and lei what you show be calm, cool, ant polished; but look at every side of the world.
