Secrets of the Crontn Jury.

The first authentic story ofhow Juror Cul
yer acted during the time the jury was bal
loting on the tate OF the CrOnin murderers was
told the PIONEER Press correspondent al
Chicago. The details were furnished by Ju

Attorney Longnecker and the recital may
result disastrOusly to the pious EvanstOnian
When the ballot was taken on guilt or limo
cence OF prisoners eleven men promptly vot
ed that Burke, Coughln and O'Sullivan
loted mot guilty" The result created con
sternaton in the room, but Culver was un
disturbed. Foreman Clarke paced the floor
in passion. Culver had long been suspected
by his companions, to whom he had made
startling admissions. Another ballot was
taken as to whether Cronin was killed in the
Carlson cottage. Eleven jurors voted
but Culver declared the state had
not associated the cottage with the
tragedy. A turbulent scene followed
Eleven men stood before Culver and demand
ell an explanation, but the strange juror i'll
tensiied the bitterness by remaining silent
Culver pleaded WEAKNESS and requested 4
cot. His colleagues stOrmed and refused tC
go to bed. Finally Culver stretched himself
upon plank and began to pray loudly
During his suppication he was the
target for a volly of interrogatories
but paid no attention. Saturday
morning the obedient juror opened the storm
afresh by defending Martin Burke, the fugi
tive assassin. who, he said. had not been
identified as Frank Williams. The eleven
others could stand this no longer. They
gathered in a corner and wrote a series OF
questions on slips Of paper. Culver made no
reply. He perspired profusely and trembled
violently. Foreman Clarke followed Culver
up and down until the latter, becoming panic.
stricked, opened the door and called Bailif
Santa. The door was slammed shut and
with pallid face Culver fell on his knees and
began praying again. His companions
banged on the table and raised such uproal
that Culver resumed his march around the
room. The eleven men followed him with
imprecations. Finally Culver grew so weak
that he called three jurors into one coTDel

Old Men in Indian Jails.

A recent visitor to one of the Pun
jaub jails was amazed to find O re-
markably large number OF old men
among the prisoners, almost one
convict in five having gray beard.
The jailer being asked for an explain
alton replied: 1T is acommonp prac
tice when a theft is brought home to
9 man by the police for him to get
an old father or uncle to take the
blame on himself, or he puts up .
young brother to do 40. Before the
court they make full and circum
stantial confession. They are COR
yicted and the real thieves get off,
and it is for the family benefit that
this should be so. A sturdy young
man is able to do more for the family
support by honest labor or thieving
than an old man or u boy. The old
man has lost many of the Instincts
and appetites which make liberty SO
dear to the young man. He cannot
be put to any hard labor, and will ba
well fed and well looked after while he
is in jail. Ifa boy confesses he will
probably escape with a fiogging. The
conviction of an old man or a boy
will look quite as we'll in the police
returns as that of an able bodied
young man. So long as they get
their conviction, the police don't
trouble themselves very much about
the matter. ."-Philadelphia Ledger.

An Eccentric Spendthrift.

From the st. James Gazette.
At Fulbeck, near Grantham, has
just passed away one of the most &C.
centric characters that ever lived in
that district-William Richmond.
He went out to Australia some
twenty-five years ago, and returned
home fiveyea ago with alarge for
tune. This he put in the bank, and
ran on the principal very freely.
Among the eccentric acts of the last
year of his life, which almost bord-
cred on insanity, were the purchasing
of valuable articles and destroying
them, A gold watch was smashed
up Immediately, the back of a silver
watch was wrenched off so as to be
more convenient for winding up, the
straw was taken out of q mattress
for pig bedding, springs taken out of
a new chair, shelves out of the house
for firewood, clocks broken up and
thrown away, bread daily burned on
the fire: legs of mutton and sides of
bacon were buried in the garden, val
liable trees were bought and chopped
up. He built a greenhouse and
knocked it to pieces. A little pig had
refused to be driven upstairs, where
bed had been prepared for it with
great care, and it's career ended by q
blow on the head by a hammer. He
died poor man-in fact a pauper--
and he was buried by the parish.

Etscts Of Alcohol on ths Mind.

It Is one of the curious errors that
alcohol stimulates the imagination,
and gives clearer, more practical In.
sight into the relation of events OF life
The whiH of thought reused up by the
increased circulation of blood in the
brain is not imagination; 1t is not
superior insight or conception of the
relation of events. but is a rapid re,
production Of previous thoughts, soon
merging into confusion. The inebri-
ate never creates any new ideas or
new views; all his fancies are tumnltu-
Gus, blurred and barren. The apparent
brilliancy Is only the fash of mania,
quickly followed by dementia. Alco-
hol always lowers the brain capacity,
and lowers the power of discriminate
ing the relation of ideas and events.
After few periods of intoxication,
the mind under the influence of spirits
is a blank, blurred page. The poets
and authors who are popularity sup
posed to make great efforts under the
influence of alcohol only repeated what
had been said before in a tangled de-
lirium Of expression. The physicians
who are supposed to have greater
skill when using spirits have paralyz-
ed their higher brain centers, and
have lost all sense Of fear or appreoia-
ton of the consequences OF their acts.
and hence act more automatically,
simply doing what they have done be,
fore without any clear appreciation or
discrimination of the results. The ine-
hriate Is the best OF all Imaginative
persons, and the one whom the higher
brain forces OF judgment. reason aud
conception are the ffE4:i.s...2 give way.
The man who uses spirits to give
mental force aud elearness is doing
the very worst thing possible to de,
stroy this effect. Alcohol is ever and
always n paralyzant It never creates
anything; it never gives strengt tn or
force that did not exist before; it
never gives a clear conception and
power Of execution. but always lowers,
destroys, and breaks down.

ROMANCE OF BUTCHER.
How a Bright American Citizen
Became British Aristoorat

How a Bright American Citizen
Became a British Aristoorat.
Several years ago young English
man, who had just landed in the
this country, sought employment in
Chicago, says the Arkansaw Traveller.
He appeared to be fairly we'll educated,
and was Of gentlemanly bearing. He
declared, on more than one occasion
when he applied for work, that he was
willing to do almost anything-all he
wanted was a chance. He confessed,
however, that he was not competent to
perform work that required any great
degree OF skill, and, as a last resort,
began to work in a butchers shop. AL
though immeasurably superior, in
tellectually, to his associates, he did
not hold himself above them, but
strove TO make the most of his situ-
alton, and, above all, to master every
detail of the trade. He saved his
money, became known as an authority
on cutting up meat and. in fact, was
at one time summoned before court to
give expert testimony in a case involv-
ing the assassination OF cow.
One day recently, shortly after the
young man had opened a shop of his
own at 748 North Sarsfeld street, a
misunderstanding man entered
"Is John De We're imp
That is my name," the young
butcher answered.
Il have thrilling news for you.
Your grandfather is dead, and you are
now the owner OF Three Oaks Castle.
Come with me-"
There was a sensation in butcher
circles, and there was much rejoicing
among the cleavermen.
Mr.. De We're returned to England
and dispatch in the papers the other
day announced the fact that he had
been knighted. and that hereafter he
will be known as Sir Loin.

overheard, when, presto! away went
the whole flock, popping over the
rail, one after another. into the sea.
Boats were lowered, and with much
labor portion of the flock was saved.
Another told story which illus
trated the same follow-my-leader trait
in the character of sheep. At port
on the Sound one evening just after
the deck hands had got all the freight
slowed away, there came down 500
sheep to be put onboard. All hands
were vexed because of the delay and
trouble connected with shipping them,
but finally a pen was made of hurdles
between decks, and gangway rugged,
and in the dusk all was ready to take
the sheep on board, and they were
started down the gangway. The first
one. as he struck the deck. saw an
opening in the other side of the boat
across which hurdle had been placed.
Instead Of going along to the corral
prepared, this sheep made a running
jump, cleared the hurdle and landed
in the salt chuck alongside. Every
one of the band followed suit, and in a
short time 500 sheep were struggling
in the water. The captain, having
seen the last one go down the plank
yelled out, ''all right down there?" An
answer came back, ''all right, sir; send
them down." "Send 'em down." roar
ed the captain, ''haven't you the sheep
down there?'' "Not sheep, SIR" was
the reply. and investigation showed
that there was not sheep ON the
boat. The captain could not delay
any longer, and so steamed away, and
only small number OF. the sheep ever
p0t ashore
