THE CRONIN TRIAL.
The Search for Jurors Meets with
Some EncOuraR Rement.


Some Encouragement.
CHICAGO, September 17.-When the
Cronin trial adjourned this evening there
were four men in the box against whom
no legal diequaiifcations had been dis.
covered, and who had bsen rendered the
State by the defense. The States At.
torney asked until tomorrow to consider
these persons, and it is not improbable
that some, or even all of them, may be
ultimately sworn.
A mail carrier says that, while sorting
his mail yesterday, he saw the informer,
Le Caron, who testified in the Parneli
case in London. LIE Caron was standing
in the corridor. O'Brien, who is init.
mately acquainted with LIE Caron, de-
clares that he cannot be mistaken. He
hastened out into the corridor, but LIE
Oaron was gone. 1t is said that he is
here to testify in the Cronin case.

NAVAL CONTRADICTION.
The mare Island Navy Yard Equip.
ped for Building Purposes.

WASHINGTON, September 17.-Secre.
tary Tracy is giving careful consideration
to the question as to what shall be done
in respect to the two 3000.ton cruisers
authorized to be built by an act of Com
gress. The Department failed to secure
bids for the construction of them within
the limit of the cost imposed by Con-
gress. 1t was not possible to reduce the
requirement as to speed and increase the
premiums as has been done in the case
OF the 2,000-ton vessels, for the law had
fixed these specifically. There was little
hope Of securing lowe, bids upon read
vertisement so that, aside from awaiting
the tardy action of Congress, the only
alternative seemed to be to build The ves-
sells in the Navy Yards. 1t is this phase
OF the case that Secretary Tracy is con-
sidering and should he be able to satisfy
himself that the work can be done in q
reasonable time and at moderate cost,
it is highly probable that he will decide
to have it done at the Navy Yards. Upon
the first point, it may be
stated that while eastern ship
building Navy Yards ore not crowded
with work, Naval Constructor Tichborn
is prepared to recommend that the Mare
Island yard be given an opportpnity, to
cASW WAeS 'SeAA wv AZ eiO way VI UulA0-
ing modern man-of-war. Acting under
authority conferred by Congress, the
Construction Bureau has been actively
increasing the plant at that yard. Ma
chine tools of the latest type are being
delivered rapidly, and the Acting Chief
Constructor believes that within two.
months the yard will be able to under
take successfully the construction of at
least one of the l9-knot cruisera
wHITNEY's RESPONSE TO TRACY.
WASHINGTON, September 17.-In re-
sponse to the telegram of congratulation
sent yesterday by Secretary Tracy to his
predecessor on the successful trial of the
new cruiser Baltimore, the following was

partment:
LENox, Mass, September II.
To the Secretary Of the Navy, Washington:
Many thanks for your kind dispatch.

The Paradise Of Preachers.
Richmond Dispatch,

Probably DR., Morgan Dix staLds as the
best type of the Fashionable and success
ful preacher in the metropolis today. The
rector OF Trinity receives nominal sal
ary Of $4,000, but his actual income
from his pastorate Ia limited only by
his necessities. He gets all and every
thing he wants. From the time when old
Trinity was organ zed in 1897, until now,
it has never ceased to be the fashion in
New York. At the outset it almost broke
the hearts of the dominies of the Old
Dutch Reform church by drawing away
the yonpg Dutchmen, who We're fascinat-
Ed by its beautiful service, by TIE fact
that It was in English, you know thus
furnishing the earliest instance of Anglo
mania on record. The little fAn-shaped
farm which the church got from the
colony bas developed into the richest
part Of New York, and Trinlty's vast
possessions between the Battery and
Fourteenth street are now estimated a7
being worth $40 O00000 It's great bust
ness piles and grimy tenements, dingy
warehouses and aristoor9hc dwellings
now bring it in revenue big enough 70
run small-sized kingdom. It's rector
ia allowed a handsome residence free,
haa life position, and Is the pet of the
nabobs OF Gotham and the Idol of itf
fashionable women. What with valuable
gifts and frequent trips TO Europe hi'
lines are certainly cast in pleasant places
As the better and more Influential par
OF thia flock are away in the summer he
cao shut up old Trinity if he chooses aud
let the devil take a holiday, or he car
bend over his theological cudsel TO
deputy nd interim. His assistants re-
ceive $4,000 year each, and many pres
snts, thus making Trinity the very para
disc of preachers.

One wet, foggy, muddy day little girl
was standing on one side of the street IN
London, waiting for an opportunity 20
cross over. Those who have seen Lon
don streets on such day, with their wet
aad mud, and have watched a rush
of cabs, hansCms, omnibuses Bnd cEr-
riaRes will not wonder that little girl
should be afraid TO Try to make her way
through such q babel ss that. So she
walked 40 aud down, and looked INTO the
faces Of those who passed by. Some
looked careless, some harsh, some were IN
haste; and she did not fad the one she
sought until at length an AGED man rather
tail aud spare, and of grave YET
kindly aspso came walking down the
street. Looking IN his face she seemed
70 sec in him the one for whom she had
been waiting, aud she went up to him
and whispered tlmid'y "please, sir, wil'
you hcip me over!'
Tho old man saw the little girl safely
a,coss the street; ana when be after"ard

What Physician Has TO say About the Pop

phifadelDbfa TiTr %

Oatmeal has recently resolved some sd
verse criticisms. This is not surprising,
as no food article is just the thing II
every case or at all times. Our daily tx
periences convince Us of such truth By
likes and dislikes tor very common anG
the most wholesome foods. It is natural
and best to have some variation of diet
One thing may be j1st adapted to the
state of the Individual - bodily end
mentally-at one time anG not at the
other, while with another person 1t may
never agree. Without entering into
lengthy, uIinteresting details, chemistry,
physiology and experience al! prove oat
meal one of the most valuable cereal
foods for producing good muscles and
clear heads. Why, then, is it frequently
found to disagreed 1t is easily answered
By being used almost exclusively as mush
it is swallowed so easily that it is not
properly mixed with the ssliva-the first
step for digestion. When there is little
or no saliva, as in some diseases, there ia
also a very weak or no digestion.
If any soft food, mush or toast, etc, is
swallowed too rapidly, or any food is
washed down with tea, coffee, milk, wine
or water, some degree of indigestion il
thereby produced sooner or later, ae often
shown by a sense of fullness, disco fort
belching and other disturbances. If there
is a lacK of saliva, or that of proper
quality, it is often best to eat some hard
Kind of bread, or the thin, hard Scotch

when the teeth admit of it, and very
slowly, 20 thus naturally increase the
amount and quality OF saliva. Such q
course is often better and a safer oor-
rective than all the drugs in the country
GOOD health can usually be secured by
correct living. The best physicians are
those who recognize this fact and try tC
