sells own affidavit says t" the witness
Kalaluhi (k) on the part of the
prosecution was sworn, and the
Court by Chief Justice Judd, ordered
the witness not to testify as one of
the jurymen was absent from. the
jury box" Even if this was so, could
it be contended that the defendant
was thereby prejudiced in any way?
It is a general rule, that a new
trial will not be granted for an en-
tirely harmless error. Motions for
a new trial are addressed to the
sound judicial discretion of the
Court, and ought never to be granted
except to subserve the purposes of
substantial justice. Hilliard on New
Trials, page 80. We also override
this ground.
Third ground, is supported by the
affidavit of Mr.. Rosa as to what q
witness named Joe told him after
the trial. There is a counter affidavit
of the man Joe in which he denies
the statement of Mr.. Rosa and says
that all he knew about the case was
WudO u0 udu SlNOA III 0SAO0ACO OOAOA0
the court at the trial, and that that
evidence was the truth" In the face
of his former evidence and the
affidavit, the man could not change
his testimony even if new trial was
granted. This ground is overruled.
Fourth ground, is supported by
the affidavit of one r. Gerke as to
conversation with Peter Nowlein,
foreman of the jury. This is met by
the counter affidavit of Peter Now
lein, in which he denies having had
a conversation with Gerke. and de-
MES everything contained in his
(Gerke's) affidavit.
A new trial is refused and the mo-
ton denied.

HE DEVIL AND HE LAWYER.

There runs a quaint legend of ancient-day lore.
- of q quarrel twiXt Heaven and Hell.
Ger the boundary line the c.amoI grew high,
But how it ran no one could TELL
ST Peter he swore he had once mapped 1t out
With the tools of stray engineer,
But the Devil he said, with quizzical smile,
That it fcouldnt DE right, 1t was clear.
The angels grew tired of sitting on clouds
And watching the endless dispute.
so they packed up the harp and folded their
wings,
And foated away with the Lutte.
There came no decision. ST. Peter was mad,
And sad the long look on his face,
When the Devil suggested an admirable plan'
That Jury should settle the case.
and each a lawyer should bring the next day
To decide who had been in the right
SO the Saint stroked his chin, and upward he
flew,
While the Devil took downward his flight
Bright and early next morning the Devil ap-
peared,
And knocked at the heavenly door,
While far out behind were stretched out In
line,
Five hundred of lawyers, and more.
All alone stepped the saint from the portals OF
gold,
AS he heard the big clock strike eleven,
And sadly he sighed to his smiling old foe,
There's not even one lawyer in heaven

Family Names.

One of the oddities Of fashionable So
ciety in Philadelphia, says the Times,
which is puzzling to strangers, is the
classed as bellies who bear the same
family name. Until recently it has not
been considered good form to use, ex-
cept in intimate intercourse, young
ladies' first names, but now it is not on
ly necessary but, there being daughters
of different branches OF the same
family bearing the same Christian name,
it has been convenient to number them
as in the case of young men, and such
titles as Miss Arabella Rittenhouse II.
and Miss Regina Pedigree III. are found
on cards and invitations. This of
course, cannot be carried out in intro
auctions, and as there are at least
twenty families with young ladies bear
ing the same name, though only dis
family related, the effect at large
party is very confusing. For instance,
there are tWenty-eight Miss Biddles.

THE FETISH OF THE HOUSE.
An Instrument More Potent Than Reed
GaveI in Congress.

An Instrument More Potent Than Reeds
GaveI in Congress.
Look back toward the east entrance.
You see another page, with hands in
front of him, clasping what appears to
be massive siiyer-bound ebony club.
It is surmounted by globe of silver,
upon which the hemispheres are
traced. A silver eagle, with OUT
stretched wings, is perched upon the
globe. The whole resembles the faces
carried by the Roman lictors before the
tribunes in time of peace, and before
the consuls, returning from war. 1t is
a bundle of thirteen ebony sticks en-
twined with silver band. These thir-
teen ebony sticks represent the thir-
teen original states. This club is the
mace representing the authority and
dignity of the House. It's custodian is
the sergeant-at-arms 1t is kept in his
office when the House is not in session.
The page carries it through the lobby
and into the chamber. 1t is placed at
the side of malachite pedestal. This
mace was made in 1884. although it
bears the date of 1871. The latter date
was engraved upon it at the time it was
repaired and mounted. Itweighs about
twenty pounds.
The mace remains upon its pedestal
until the House goes into committee of
the whole. Then it is lowered and re-
mains lowered till the committee rises
Notwithstanding its prominence and
significance, a man might serve six
months in the House of Representatives
without noticing it, This would be
more likely to happen if the members
sat on the Republican side of the cham
Der. There the Speakers desk hides it
from view. But let a storm rise; let the
pulses of the members be quickened
with passion and hot words be uttered;
let clenched fists be shaken and mem
beers rush toward the main aisle ia rage
and fury, and the mace will appear. 1t
will be borne aloft majestically over the
area in front of the Speakers desk, up
the main aisle, and down the side aisles,
calming the tempest, cooling the dis
putants, calling the House to it's sober
self, and causing members to resume
their seats. They recognize its sig
nifcance as symbol, and submit to the
authority it represents.-W Washington
