The American jury system, peace to
its ashes will we say with eased heart
when legislation will do away with it.
TO disallow person from serving on a
jury because he has formed au opinion
of the case in question discussed by his
newspapers, is to consider the attorneys
as unable to influence the jurors.
Granted that a man examined by the
judge has formed his opinion, may not
an able lawyer influence him to another
way of thinking, may not the proofs in
his hands cause an abandonment of
previously taken views?
Put man in as juror, who has not
read of the case, not cared therefore to
learn, what will force him now to take
an interest in the proceedings? Moth.
ing more than the fees he is promised,
his duty is done as business transac-
ton, and the courtroom becomes bus
iness-house.
The average case if left to a respect
ed and able judge is much safer and
surer Of execution than in the hands of
a jury, made up Of people, who never
read the papers and consequently are
not public spirited, enterprising citi-
zens.

We are emphatically opposed to the
robbing, as it were, of womaD's rights,

in civil law which place woman at pre-

the unrestricted right of suffrage is a
step which does not yet belong to the

otherwise unfit for use, our laws gov.

erless to prevent continued malpractice
in this respect.
The governments attention has been
called to the matter and the senate has
now under consideration bill for the
establishment of a pure food division of
the department of agriculture, to pro-
vide for inspection of live stock about
to be slaughtered at slaughter-house,
canning, sailing, packing and render
ing establishments, the carcasses or pro-
ducts of which are intended for human
consumption in any state or territory
other than where slaughtered or for ex-

prohibit the introduction of adulterated
Or misbranded food or drugs into any
state or territory or the District of Col
umbia, from any other state or territory
or foreign country.
This step is ladable as law to that
effect will necessitate uniform state
laws, and thus give complete control
over food, which to-day is adulturated
in our states more than in European
countries.

GRIMES and ACCIDENTS.

Above Sick New Yorker Fatally Ad-

New YORK, Jan. ).
The author of the cruel hoax of advertis-
ing the marriage of Miss Lillian May Stokes,
the seventeen-year-old daughter of Thomas
Stokes and heiress to three million of dol
lars, to Walter Phelps Dodge, son of
Professor d. Stewart Dodge, has been dis
covered, After duplicating half dozen of
the most reputable young men of this city,
some of whom were his collegiate mates at
Yale, young Dodge has confessed that he
alone is responsible for the publication of
the marriage notice which appeared in three
newspapers on Sunday morning. 1t has also
been developed that young Dodge had pre-
pared for publication notice announcing the
death of the young lady in which notice
her name was given as Mrs. Walter Dodge. 1t
is believed that the young man sought to
force the girl to marry him, and intended to
use the obituary notice as a threat to compel
her to do so. 1t is understood that he has
been given the alternative of leaving the
country for five years or going to Jail

THE STRIKERS
At Reading Likely to be Masters of the
Situation.
PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 4.

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 4.
A special to the Press from Pottsville,
says: The miners strike is more complete
than ever. Heretofore the number of idle
working collieres has been willingly stated at
the office of the Coal & Iron Company. To-
day the officials there said they had been in
structed not to give out the figures. The
miners say that the reason is that there are
no Reading collieries working at all. The
best information is that the Suffolk colliery,
near Mahaney, and the Brookside at Tower
City, are still working, but with crippled
forces.
Henry Clay of the Reading collieries near
Shamokin, was compelled to shut down to-
day because the shaft running machinery of
the breaker was broken. Two Reading col
lieries, the Richardson at Glen Carbon and
the North Franklin near Breventon, were
working yesterday but closed today on ac
count of the strike. The VIM. Penn colliery
which has been running on an agreement to
continue to pay on the advance basis pending
settlement, was shut down today. The
miners refused to cut coal to be loaded on
cars that are handled by non-union men.

The readers OF the journal will be sur

one of Augustus suddenly famous citizens
who opened an original package rum shop
here, has returned to his old camping ground
His stay in this city was very short. We'd

when he come here, to defy the the minis
tiers aud the Law and Order League, he
weakened when he was told that the munich
pat authorities would make it warm for him (:
that If necessary search warrant would be
served upon him every day. Finding that
there was great amount of opposition here,
Burns went to the Mayor Wednesday after
noon, and was told by Baths chief executive
that il woull be better for him not to stay in
Bath and carry on the liquor business. Ina
kind but firm manner the Mayor stated to
Burns that there was a great deal of talk be-
ing made about the opening of a shop for
the sale of imported liquors, and that there
was no little complaint against allowing an
out of town man to come here and engage
in the rum traffic when an effort was being
made to stop those engaged in the liquor bus
mess here. The result of the talk of the
Mayor induced Burns to give up the business
here, and before his departure from the
Mayors office, the Augusta citizen said he
would take in his sign and close up the bus-
ness as far as running store. The one
hundred cases of imported liquors in bond at
the Custom House, Burns intends to keep
there for the present.
