NOT suEEIcIFNT EVIDENCE

CASsoPoLIs, Mich. July 1l.-At the
May term of the circuit court Louis Grant
was convicted for the second time of MUIR
der in the second degree, and the court as
sembled Monday to pass sentence. Grant
attorney made plea for new trial, and
in passing an opinion upon that plea
Judge O'Hara caused intense excitement
and surprise by declaring that, although
the man had been pronounced guilty by
both juries, there was not sufficient
evidence The Judge then added to the
excitement by overruling the plea for a
new trial and sentencing the prisoner TO
ten years in the Jackson penItentiary.
Grant was about to SIT down over
whelmed by the sentence, when the court
babe him wait, and, relteratlng his belief
in the mans innocence, said he would have
the court stenographer, at the public
expense, make copy OF the record, so
that the accused might go TO the supreme
court with but little expense. Judge
O'Hara begged the people present in the
court room to rally TO othe defence OF a
greatly wronged man, and ardentiy ex-
pressed the hope that the supreme court
might overrule his rulings, whereby the
conviction had been possible The judge
said he himself would pay part OF the ex-
peEses,
Ihis done, Judge O'Hara adjourned
court, leaving the lawyers at loss TO uu-
derstand what had happened, and ordered
his horse hitched, although it was early 10
the afternoon, and set out for his home AZ
Berner Springs. Judge O'Hara has long
been known for his ecceatrIcIiies-

Old ColloQuial Phrases.

A writer in literary monthly lately an
nounced, with an air of surprise, his discov-
cry of the word ''fam," used in its present
colloquial sense, in work dated 1852. Tho
surprise was natural, for probably few but
professed students Of our older literature
know what a large number Of present day
words and phrases, modern and new tangled
IS they appear, are but survivals, some
times with slightly changed meaning, from
bygone times. In addition to considerable
number of such words the Seventeenth GEN.
fury vocabulary was also rich in colloqulal
words and phrases, which, owing to changed
conditions of life, and to the gradual and
latterly rapid growth of the language, have
either slowly died out of use, or have been
elbowed out of favor and existence by more
modern popular coinagey That will suit me
down to the ground" says the modern
dealer in slang; two centuries and more ago
it would have suited him ''up and down"
John Day, in his curious play, the elsie Of
Guls," 1906, says: "a thinge once wei done
is twice done; and am in her mind for that,
uc and downe." 'Friday-face" is term
still occasionally applied to a sour vis4ged
person; it was formerly in very common
use. In the old comedy of ''Wily Beguiled,"
1906, we find: what friday-facd slave it
is! l think in my conscience his face never
keeps holiday" The phrase is doubtless de-
rived from Friday being, enthusiastically, the
banyan day of the week.-Gentleman
Magazine.

The BEDS OF Royalty.

Clarence House is one of the most comfort
able houses in London, and is famous for its
good beds, for the only daughter of Alexan-
der II OF Russia is like ulany Muscovite ladies,
very particular about her beds and will toll
crate none but the very best Even when a
mere child, and long before her marriage,
she was so particular about this very impOr-
taut item in domestic comfort that, 10 insure
the sheets being tightly stretched over the
mattress, she used to have them sewn down.
for even the slightest crease or wrinkle would
entirely destroy the repose Of this imperial
spoilt child for the night
His royal highness used to be greatly chatr
ed about this weakness by members OF our
royal family when first she came 70 this coun-
try, but the queen, who is also very particu-
lar about her beds. stuck up for her, and al
though now the sheets are no longer sewn
down to the mattress, they ore composed Of
the most exquisitt.y ilne linen that can be
procured, and stretched Ike a tight rope
over the most perfect MATTRESSES that can be
manufactured in Paris, in which capital the
making of mattresses has been brought up 20
the level OF fine art.
A curious and amusing chapter might in
deed be written about the beds Of ilus;rious
peTsonages The ex-empress Eugene Is quite
as particular about her beds as the Duchess
of Edinburgh or our gracious sovereign and
quite agrees with the first named lady as TO
the flneness Of the linen and the tigbtness Of
the drawing Of the sheets, but her imperial
majesty has an odd fancy TO have her bed 50
low as TO give visitor To the imperial bed
chamber the impression that the widow Of
Caesar is almost sleeping on the floor. 1t is,
indeed, hardly elevated more than foot
from the floor, as all who have visited 10 Old
days the private apartments at St Cloud,
Compiegne and the Tuileries viii remember
Another curious bed Is that Of Sarah Bern
hardt. II is nearly fifteen feet broad, and
when the great comedienne Is indisposed and
receives her intimate friends reposing On her
couch she looks like q little golden haired bird
lost In great sea Of white satin.-Modern

| doubt that under the circumstances the
result would have been different if in his
confession DR.. Mellow had admitted he
shot his victim In the back as he was leav-
ing the Office In view of the result of the
trial, the defendants attorneys might have
saved the state the unutterable shame Of
this judicial travesty had they moved to
| quash the Indictment for murder on the
ground that there was no statute or South
carolina providing that the killing OF r.
w. Dawson was a punishable offense."
The city is full of rumors about the Nc
Dow case today. 1t is understood that
most of the pastors of the leading churches
of the Mellow verdict, adultery and muir
der. At the meeting which adopted reso-
lutions denouncing the crime the pastors
of the Methodist, Baptist, Presbyterian,
Huguenot, Congregational, Lutheran and
Episcopal churches were present. The
Rev. E. L. Horne, of ST. Johns, the church
at which Mellow worshiped and at which
Mellow received an ovation on the Sunday
after his acquittal, was absent.
1t is known that Mrs. Dawson. the wild
ow of Editor Dawson, had to appeal to the
police last night for protection and a po-
liceman was stationed Oh her premises.
McDow'S and Dawson's lots adjoined each
other in the rear. Persons on the rear pi-
azZas of both houses can converse and Nc
into the Dawson premises. 1t is said that
yesterday afternoon Mellow endeavored to
communicate with the Swiss maid who
was in the piazza with Captain Daw-
sons daughter, and that the maid reported
the fact to Mrs. Dawson. 1t is also said
that he repeated the attempt later in the
evening, when Mrs. Dawson appealed to
the police authorities for protection.
Another story going the rounds is that
one of the white jurymen who has been
intoxicated since the trial was heard to
boast in bar-room that Mitchell, counsel
for the state, might have saved himself
the trouble of speaking on Saturday. as the
jury had made up its verdict on Friday.
Still another rumor is the bruise on Nc
Dow's head to which his friend DR.. For
rest so feelingly testified as coming prob
ably from Dawson's five-ounce malacca
cane, is accounted for in another way. The
story is that it was received on the morn
ing of the murder in the house of one of
the doctors lady patients, with whom the
doctor had attempted one of 1.-The little in
discretions" which he is so confident his
friends will overlook. 1t is said the affair
leaked out too late to be introduced dur
ing the trial, but that the solicitor is in
possession Of the facts.

MUCH DEBATEAT SIOUX FALLS

SIOUX FALLS S. D., July 1.-THE eighth
days session of the South Dakota consti-
tutional convention was marked by q
spirited debate. 1t had been proposed to
memorable the president to suspend
mineral entries upon school lands near
large cities in agricultural districts until
the state is organized and can defend its
rights thereto in case such entries are at
tempted TO obtain such land fraudulentlv
Strong opposition was offered on the
ground that the ordinary operation of the
law is sufficient to prevent such fraud and
that to ask the president an entire class of
entries WAS equivalent 10 petitioning to do
the same thing that resulted in so much
criticism OF eX-Commissioner Sparks 1t
was further opposed on the ground
that even if parties obtained possession
of school land under cover of mineral laws
AID such lands should prove non-mineral
the title thereto could ultimately revert to
the government. and therefore no loss be
sustained. Despite these considerations
however the memorial was adopted by IL
vote of - to Is.
\ petition was received from the Meth
odist Ministers association of southeast
ern Dakota, asking the convention to pro-
vide safeguards for honest elections in the
constitution, and also that the vote on
state offices and temporary location OF the
state capital he taken at a different time
than that on the constitution. when every
effort will be made to guarantee an honest
election. Ii is not likely that more than
one will be ordered.

HAT DRUG BUSINESS.

BALTIMORE, Md, July 1.-THE state
ment that Kilrain was dragged finds sup
port among the Baltimore sports VINO wit
messed the fight, but the motive seems to
have been to deaden pain rather than TO
have caused his defeat. 1t the third round
after Sullivan delivered his tremendous
blow over Kilrain's heart Miuchell held to
his mouth sponge dipped in a
bucket. and after that jake fought
as in a trance. Mitchell pur-
chased in Baltimore drug which acts
directly on the heart. The blow over the
heart, caused flowing up of the hearts
actions and after administering the dose
whisky to exhilerate the hearts action
should have been given. A Baltimore
physician says: "kiIrain was over-trained
and believe the rapid reduction of weight
was not effected by hard work but by
powerful catharatic medicines. His nerves
were unstrung, he was shoulder bound be
hind and in no condition to 60 into the

UGLY RuMoRs ON THE mDoW TRIAL.

CHARLESTON, s. c., July 1.-THE News
and Courier of this city, which had pre-
served silence since the trial of Mellow for
the murder of Editor Dawson commenced
is out in an editorial on the subject today.
The article says: "The News and Courier
kept silent after the murder of Captain
Dawson and before the trial OF his SLAYER
because il did not intend that there should
be the slightest ground for the charge that
IL had attempted in any way TO shape the
the course of public opinion. The News
andCourier since the trial has been silent be-
cause it was well aware that whatever views
il expressed would be attributed TO personal
feeling and individual prejudice. 1t has
preferred TO await the Judgment OF the
country and to set up against the verdict
of the jury in the court of sessions the
verdict of the larger jury of the country.
We doubt that the verdict would have
been different if Captain Dawson had been
shot in the back in the very presence of
the court and aftzr the frenzy of three
hours waiting with his silent guest the
defendant had with moistened towel
fenderly wiped away from the cold still face
the whitewash and mould from the grave
IN the closet underneath the stairs. We
