In the death of James Russell Lowell,
America loses one of its greatest writers,
and Boston one of the figures that made
it pre-eminent among the cities of the
continent The friends of such a man
are fortunate in having memories that
are a golden compensation for rubbing
elbows with the world. Perhaps none of
his Boston friends knew Lowell better
than Edward Everett Hale, and an ar
ticle Oh the poet by this accomplished es-
sayist in the New England Magazine for
October, is one of the delights of the
months haul among the magazines. Mr..
Hale's article is written in his usual easy
view of pleasant commentary, and is
brimfull of sympathy and delicious COM
prehensiOn.

From the New York Press.
Mrs. Rebecca Hooper, a 93-year-old
lady living in Linn county, Kan, has
some interesting personal memories of
the nations early days. Her maiden
name was Wood, and she was born in
Maryland Oct. Z, 1898. Her family re-
moved to Washington. and she was a
clerk in her fathers store when the Brit
ish troops sacked and burned the capital
in 1914. She was carried out of the store
in the arms of British soldier on that
occasion. In August, 1924, when Lafay-
cite revisited the United States, she
represented the state of Maryland in the
committee of young ladies who escorted
Lafayette from his carriage to the hotel.
and who spread their silk, fiower-em-
broidered shawls in his path for him to
walk upon. Mrs. Hooper is still in very
good health and spirits.

was A, 112, as compared with 1881 for

volume of immigration to America from

A MERRY JUDGE.
Taking Half Pint Drinlxa without
winkinG.

From the Baltimore Sun.
The trial of Judge Botkin at Topeka,
Kan, has brought out some very inter
esting testimony as to the capacity OF
the accused for the accommodation OF
liquid refreshment, if we are to believe
the evidence reported in the Kansas City
Times. According to one witness
the Judge usually took at single
draughts from four to ten ounces
of whiskey, and, according to an
other, he frequently took hali-pint
drinks without so much as winking. In
drinking beer the Judge would empty a
quart bottle without removing 1t from
his lips, and the witness had on several
occasions seen him drink a bottle of beer
on top of half.pint Slug" OF whisky
He admitted, however, that he had never
seen the Judge drunk, "as he was always
capable of carrying heavy load
without giving way under it, A
man of Judge Botkin's capacity would
have been considered an honor
and ornament to the bench among the
ponderous burghers OF New Amsterdam,
or in such genial, jolly company as prob,
ably surrounded the Governor OF North
Carolina when he uttered his famous pro-
test against long, dry spells. But kan'
sas is a cold. water State, and has no
sympathy with illustrious examples or
celebrated precedents of this sort. Pos
sibly if Judge Botkin had not found Kan
sas 80 very dry, he might have taken less
at a time, and so have avoided scandalz
ing people of weaker heads and shallower
stomachs. AS the supply was uncertain
and more or less difficult to obtain, The
Judge NAV have considered itgood policy
to Law in a large stock whenever the op
portunity offered, and as he appear:
rarely to have been effected, he woulc
seem, even according to his enemies, tt
have gauged his capacity pretty accu
rately. 1t may be. however, that th'
Judge is an ardent prohibitionst at hear
| and hates liquor so much that he did moi
| want to leave any lit in Kansas as
temptation to the unwary.
Thus attempting to solve the temper
ance question and its quletus make witt
a judicial Botkin, his noble and disnter
ested motives have been misunderstood
like those of many other patriots, ant
he is held up to scorn when he shoul'
rather receive those honors that belonl
to the highest achievements at the bar
Judge Botkin should shake off the dus
of dusty Kansas from his feet and settl
in a state where the atmosphere IS moist
rr and where there are not such long IL
teryals between drinks.

detective and Jury.

The New Orleans grand jury is emphat-
ic in it's expression Of the conviction that
the result of the trial OF the men accused
of killing chief of police Hennessy was due
to tampering with the jury by detective
O'Mally and others associated with and
employed by him. Against them and
o'Mally the jury present formal indict-
ments. The grand jury's report lays
bear O'Mally's criminal record previous
to the Hennessy murder, from this it aP-
pears that "he served termi the work
house at Cleveland, Ohio, in 1875, tor
petty larceny, and that he was after
wards indicted in the United States court
in New Orleans for perjury but was ac-
Quilted, owing to the timely disappear
ance of an affidavit; was convicted to the
parish prison for attempted blackmail
was five times convicted and sentenced
for carrying concealed weapons; indicted
twice and convicted once of assault and
battery and twice indicted for attempt.
ing to prevent witnesses from appearing
and testifying."
The grand jury further say: Tho
moral conviction is forced upon us that
some OF the jurors empaneled to try th'
accused on the charge of the assassina
ton Of the late chief of police were sub
ject to money influence to control their
decision. Further than this, we mal
say, it appears certain at least three, /
not more, Of that jury were so undul'
and unlawfully controlled"

Italy may rage-but the worst, that 49,

the New Orleans grand jury has done the
best it could with the case Of the men that
hanged the Italians. THE CITIZEN has
consistently condemned the tragedy that
followed the acquittal of the men ac-
cused of numbering Chief of Police Hen
Messy, but the grand jury has realized
that it was impossible to arraign score
of men who had back Of them strong
public sentiment that would not have al,
lowed hair of their heads to be harmed
and against whom it is highly probable
there could not have been produced evi-
dence enough to warrant an indictment,
to say nothing Of trial. This in effect,

absence of testimony to the contrary, we
are bound to take it as it stands.
