IMAGINING A NEW JURY,

An Eastern Journal Has Pittsburg Impanel
Woman Juror.
To show how one must go away from home
to hear the news, it may be mentioned that
the New York Graphic says, editorially:
The old common law. which permitted women
to serve as jurors under certain circumstances
has come curouslv into play at Pittsburg. An
application for such jury has been made
in the Orphans Court. The case is a claim by
a Miss Mitchell to the estate of Thomas Sbee.
han, whose child she claims to be- Sheehan
had child, which was placed in a convent at
an early age and reported to have died When
Sheehan died his estate was valued at $50. 600
His wife survived him and instituted an in
quiry for her child. A number of claimants
appeared, attracted by the estate. None of
them cauld show any evidence of the genuine
ness of her claim except Miss Mitchell, whose
identity was made clear to the mother through
birth mark. As there are other contestants
for the estate, trial in the Orphans Court is
necessary, and jury OF women has been de-
manded The trial will he novel one in the
history OF American Jurisprudence.
The writer proceeds to remark that. if
women were to be chosen to do jury dutv, it
would be great relief to the male members
of the community, and suggests that, while
there are cases in which woman's sympa-
thetic nature and impetuosity would make
her dangerous to detendants-as, for in
stance, in breach of promise and divorce
suits, where women were plaintiffs-but
otherwise the writer is OF the opinion that.
in prosecutions involving morality and hon.
esty, their strong sense of right and wrong
would enable them to 'tgo direct to the heart
of the controversy, sweep aside legal FORMS
quibbles and biased charges of judges, and
mete out equal and exact justice, tempered
with mercy" etc.
In the first place, neither Register Conner
nor Mr.. Cyrus Gray knows anything of the
application for jury in this case, and, were
one asked, the trial woul Id be in the Com
mon Pleas, as the Orphans Court does not
try cases BY jury.
Messrs. Quail and Cotton and other law
yers seemed to doubt that a case could be
legally triel before jury of women in
this State. and Mr.. Raymond remarked, as
to the possible advantages suggested bv the
Graphic writer, that, just as at present, re-
suits would depend on the character of those
drawn as jurors.
Neither OF the Orphans Court Judges
could be found; but it seems that some
newsmonger has drawn on his imagination
for the delectation OF Gotham readers.

And then. as a further duty, we must
keep the conscience quick. We must see 70
it that we have q conscience which will be
speedy to inform US whenever we fall below
our ideal. 1t is easy to make the voice Of
conscience dim. Refuse to listen once, and
the call will be fainter the next time. Con-
tinue to refuse and you will silence con-
science This is an inevitable law. DR..
South, in his quaint manner, puts this In
another way. "Often securing and cleansing

when it is so a man may see his face in 1t.
On the contrary, ii conscience, by long

would it tell you? Perhaps you silenced il
long ago by not listening TO it And is it q
true conscience? May IL not possibly ap-

You are doing your duty because you
have never taught it what duty is? May
you not need to educate your conscience7

Him who gave Himself to suffer and die

put your good will toward your neighbor
beside the first and great. commandment,
Thou shalt love the Lord thv God with all
thy heart and with all thy soul and with all
thy mind and with all thy strength. Tell
your conscience that there is such a stand
ard of life as that and then listen"
We cannot but believe that any man who
lives eonscientiously shall be saved. But,re-
member, that that means this and nothing
less nor lower Every man who keeps his
conscience diligently, by learning and fol-
lowing the will of God as closely as he can,
shall be saved. The man who keeps his
conscience right bv setting his ideal as high
as epossi6ly can; the man who keeps hiscon-
science quick, by listening to it and obeying
he shall be saved. Keep thy conscience
with all diligence, for out of are the issues Of
life-everlasting. GEORGE HODGES.

A roval show, and big one, too, is pro-
vided for this week, the attraction being
Nelson's Great World Combination, which
opens Monday matinee. 1t comes, as it is
pronounced, perfect vaudeville avalanche,
brimiul of more European novelties ana
bright specially artists than any other show
on earth, besides being the largest and most
expensive organization that has visited
Pittsburg in many years. Heading the list
is the famous Nelson family, seven in num-
Der, who are pronounced without living
equals, acknowledged Europe's greatest
feature and recognized the premier acrobats
OF the world. The Ieats performed by these
peerless acrobats are such as no other artists
have ever attempted. and are marked by a
degree of skill and daring that simply hold
the audience spellbound. Many other
artists OF varied talent contribute to the ex-
cellent programme.

A Maid Servant Who Proves n Bonanza TO
Drug Stores.
The great wish to get something for moth
ing is brought out in the story which a
charming invalid lady relates to reporter
of large-hearted naid-servant of hers.
Her physician gives a new prescription
every day, and, as the invalid's
ailment usually disappears after one
or two doses of the medicine a large stock
of partially-6lled bottles accumulated about
the medicine chest. Ann, the maid servant,
in all her healthy native curiosity and
boldness, asked the lady "for why" this
medicine was purchased, how it should be
taken, and what were the symptoms of the
disorder?
Her mistress informed her, and in two
minutes Ann complained of f"feelin' quare,"
and asked permission to finish the bottle.
Preparations for colds, sick headaches,
toilet water, hair oil and anything that
looked like medicine were taken by the girl
for her imaginary complaints, and she
began growing stout and hearty on her new
diet. The invalid is anxiously watching
the result.
The girl actually takes pride in the num-
Der Of times she has been in the hospital.

TrIal min of the ounboat petrel.

BALTIMORE, May l0.-1he United States
gunboat Petrol, built at the Columbian iron
works, made trial trip for the builders. The
Petrol ran down fourteen miles and worked
with smooth satisfaction. During a squirt
she made over sixteen miles an hour, and for
a while she ran at the rate Of eighteen miles.
The contract calls for H. 100 horse power, and
the trial trip evidenced that she would ex-
ceed that with a large margin to her credit.
In private tactics the Petrol made a fine
circle in 800 yards, covering the evolution in
five minutes and forty seconds. She was but
twenty-eight seconds from stop until she was
reversed, and in the back motion at full
speed. A feature was her sensitiveness "a
the helm, and her promptness in answering
was really subject Of admiration. The
official trial will take place within two
