Mr.. Cole Aoquitted-The Hearing Adj
iourned TO Monday.

MIR. Cole Aoquitted-The Hearing Adj
journed TO Monday.
Upon the reconvoning of the criminal court
yesterday morning the trial of Wm. b. Moses,
G. c. Cole, and James A. McDevitt, indicted on
the charge of conspiracy to kidnap George
Taylor, was resumed.
Col. Cook was about to proceed with his
argument, not finished the day before, on the
point raised that the testimony failed to show
any olense committed on the part of Mr.. Cole,
when the court checked him, saying he need
not discuss that point further.
Col, Cook then took UP the second question,
that the indictment failed to charge that an
oilense had been committed" aud argued 1t ut
some length
lie was followed by Assistant District At.
torney Coyle for the prosecution.
At the close of his argument Justice Mac.
Arthur said itappenrcd TO him that If Mr. Cole
was to be held on this testimony 1t was most
dangerous precedent TO establish. lie could
see no reason TO include him in the Indictment,
ana they could. therefore, argue the other
branch OF the case.
District Attorney Worthington suggested
that there was no necessity for keeping Mr..
Cole in court longer, and asked that tho jury
PC directed to Mt once return verdict in his
favor.
Justice Macarthur said he would not inter.
rupt the proceedings at that time, aud with
some emphasis remarked that so far as the ties.
timony was, concerned, 1t was plain that MIR.

courteous, and his correspondence with the
attorneys in New Orleans showed only the
proper interest he should have displayed for
his client This proceeding showed the danger
Of these indictments for conspiracy. lie did
not think that there was u member of the bar
that had not been as much liable to indictment
for conspiracy is v rs Mr.. Cole.
District Attorney Worthngton said he would
have preferred to have let the whole case go
to the jury, but the other side had preferred
otherwise.
District Attorney WOrthlngtOn proceeded to
argue the suilicicncy of the Indictment.
Mr. Worthington continued his argument uu-
I'll nearly o'clock. Mr., Wilson then arose to
reply, when Judge Macarthur said that il fur
thcr argument was TO be made he would ad-
jOurn the court. Mr.. Wilson said that he
wanted to just say one word about the indict-
ment, ana that was that II did not say that this
debt was not due.
Your honor, l would like Mr. Cole to have
clear record for the new year. said Mr..
Cook, "and you might instruct the Jury to re-
turn a verdict of acquittal In his casc.,' The
district attorney COncurrcd In this Request, and
the judge gave the necessary instructions, the
jury returning the verdict without leaving
their seats. The case was then adjourned
until Monday.

In order to prevent an excessive number Of

The accuracy of the signal service predic.
tions has recently been the subject of some
criticism by the press OF other cities, doubtless
due to the absence ofa knowledge of the rules
governing the officers in charge OF this branch
of the service. They are required to predict
not for the immediate few hours of the day OH
which their bulletins are published, but for
the thirty.twO hours following the date OF the
observations upon which their predictions arc
based, which Is generally about eight hours
Therefore, the time allowed for their fulfill

POliteness.

Nothing is so indicative of bad
breeding as impoliteness. Many a
young man has failed in obtaining
good position, when intellectually
and morally he was we'll quail
fed for it, simply on account of his
boorishness. A little politeness some-
times reaches long way. Besides
it is very cheap 1t does not cost
anything TO salute passer-by. IL is
just as easy to say yes, sir, as simply
yes. To say "thauk you," for favor,
is very cheap way of getting kind
Office performed. The young man
who is accustomed to tip his bat,
when be meets lady acquaintance
on the street, or his teacher, has
learned lesson that may be of much
greater beneftto him than his geogra-
ply or his grammar.
OF ali kinds of impoliteness snub-
bing is the most detestable. Some
one has very truthfully said: Don't
snub q boy because be wears shabby
clothes. When Edison, the inventor
of the telephone, first entered Boston
be wore pair ofyellow linen breeches
in the depth of winter Don't snub
boy because his home is plain aud
unpretending. Abraham Lincoln's
home was log cabin. Don't snub
boy because of the ignorance of his
parents. Shakespeare, the worlds
poet, was the son of man who was
unable to write bis own name. Don't
snub boy because he chooses an
humble trade. The author of the
"Pilgrim's Progress" was tinker.
Don't snub boy because of physical
disability: Milton was blind. Don't
snub boy because of dullness in bis
lessons. Hogarth, the celeprated
painter and engraver, was stupid
boy at his books. Don't snub boy
because he shutters. Demosthenes,
the greatest orator of Greece, over
came q harsh and stammering voice.
Don't snnb anyone. Not alone be-
cause some day they may far outstrip
you ia the race of life, but because it
is neither kind, right, nor Christian.
