VISALIA'S DISGRACE
Ambrose Bierce's Opinion of 1t
Grand Jury.

Grand Jury.
The following from the pen of Mr.. Am
brose Bierce, is worthy of thoughtful
perusal. We heartily commend TIE good
sense, ability and fairness of that gentle
man when he says:
"a Visalia grand jury has disgraced
Itself in signally interesting way by in
dieting Haswell, the express messenger,
for the killing of Radcliffe, the fireman
Mr. Haswel is a man of courage and
conscience, who being intrusted with the
custody of money, deemed it his duty to
defend it against rain-robbers-the only
instance in my recollection. If in the
performance of this duty Il chance shot
fired by him through the door of his car
found its billet in the firemen'S body, the
mischance should have been overlooked
without action. The robbers, it appears,
had by intimidation compelled both the
fireman and engineer to assist, them in
procuring Haswelfs surrender. 1t was
their misfortune to be part of the at
tackIng force, and the defender not only
had right to kill them, but was under a
moral obligation to, if by so doing he
could gain an advantage. What would
be thought of a military commander who
should withhold his fire from an enemy
whose attack is masked by prisoners of
war?-nay, even by fugitives from q
routed outpost. | have myself seen such
fugitlves fall by scores before the fire of
their comrades, and no court-lnartial in
qulred as TO the propriety of the sacrifice,
nor would the fallen themselves have
questioned it. 1t was the fortune Of war
nothing more. In rendering the train
robbers unwilling service, active or
passive, the engineer and fireman, being
unarmed, did the best they could; they
are not to be cenSured. But the character
and composition of the force assailing
him-the nature of the ties that bound
them together in a fellowship of crime
these were matters that Haswell had no
right to consider. He was bound to de-
fend his trust against all corners. and it is
inexpressibly disgusting that the first
train messenger in this State who by
courage and devotion has broken the
shameful record of cowardly surrender
should be molested by superserviceable
lackeys of the law. Let him COLIN the
name of decency let him go! Set him
free to shake from shoes whose latchets
we are not worthy to unloose, the dust of
State where courage gets no honor and
fidelity no reward"

A large crowd of Italians loitered about
the courthouse all evening, discussing
the probable outcome of the case. The
general opinion seemed to be that no YER
dict would be reached.
Shortly before midnight 1t was rumored
that the jurors were haggling about
whether to bring in verdict of murder
or manslaughter. Two, it was said, were
holding out for acquittal, four for muir
der, and six for manslaughter.
AT the hour Of going to press this
morning the jury was still out, and they
were no nearer verdict than when they
left the courtroom.

An Astonishing OTer-Some of the

This offer so startlingly asserted the efi.

MacauIay as a Speaker,

Men listened to Macaulay with re-
spect, weighed his arguments, reflected
on what he had said, were often con-
WINGED, sometimes converted; but no.
where did crowds of eager listeners
and ardent admirers bend beneath
the music of his voice or the lightning
glance of his eye. An old friend of
mine, recently dead, who had often
heard him and remembered him per-
fectly, assured me, however, that he
was a great power fifty years ago, and
he believed that his oratorical tri-
umphs hardly received full credit in
those days.
Macaulay himself said that one of
his chief defects as a public speaker
was his extraordinary rapidity of ut
terance, which spoiled the effect of his
words. His speeches resembled care
fully-prepared essays, delivered with
incredible rapidity and some want of
iElpressiveness, rather than the spon-
taneous Outburst of the orators full
heart. Fiuency and great facility in
finding the right words are not an I'M
mixed gain to the speaker. Appropri-
ate pauses and emphasis are even
more important; otherwise torrent
OF words lacks impressiveness. Then
the management of the voice counts
for very much. A speech that flows
on like rope unwound from a cylin-
der is not a good one. Again, to be
successful speech must be enlivened
9Th anecdotes or hurnor; people can
always read for solid instruction, but
platform speaker must amuse and
please rather than teach.-The Gentle

sneezing Ones Teeth Out.

The report of the physician in
charge of the Ningpo Missionary Hos
pital for the past year contains some
interesting observations on tooth
drawing in China. DR.. DAILY remarks
that Chinese teeth are much more
easily extracted than those of Euro
peans. The native dentists are said
to possess wonderful powder, which
is rubbed on the gum over the affected
tooth; after an interval of about five
minutes the patient is told to sneeze,
whereupon the tooth falls out. DR..
Daily has offered reward of 500 to
anyone performing the operation in
this way in his presence, on condition
that he is allowed to choose the tooth
and examine the mouth before and
afterward. So far no one will consent
to perform the operation on these con-
ditions.-New York Medical Record.

WHERE DO THEY COME FRoM2
Sudden Appearance of Vulnerable

Sudden Appearance of Vulnerable
Tall Women in Public Places.
The number of tall women to be
seen on Broadway is remarkable.
Wheredo they all come from? 1t is
thefashion to be tall and straight and
slender and willowy, because it is a
style we'll adapted to thebest display
OF the latest things in Partisan
millinery and dress goods. But have
women the power to suddenly grow
taller in order to meet q prevailing
fashion half way, as they might
blondine their hair? 1t certainly
looks like it. For there never was a
time when so many tall women could
be seen. They run all the way from
5 feet 6 to feet 2. You can meet 8
feet women in couples by the dozen
on Broadway any afternoon. BY the
side OF the ordinary run of men these
women look q feet 6.
There are two theories for the
sudden excess of tall women-one that
some mechanical process has been
discovered and is being secretly
practiced by which stout women are
drawn out into long aud slender fe-
males; the other, that these women
have always existed and are now
suddenly brought forth from their
retirment by the memorable decree of
fashion. The latter would seem to
be the more reasonable explanation.
When it was the fashion for women
to be embonpoint the tall and slender
woman hid herself away from public
gaze as much as possible. She shrunk
into her boots and walked stoop-
shouldered when she was to be seen in
public places. Now that she has her
inning she is making good use of it.
She is everywhere. She walketh erect
at noonday-also in the evening.
When she has beau she chooses one
she can look down upon. 1t accent
yates her giraffe style. Her clinging
dropping, Bernhardt draperies still
further lead forward and upward.
1t is a comparatively easy thing for a
woman of five feet six to add four
inches to her apparent height if she
be not fat. Fat! The very word
seems horrible to the sex just now.
The fat woman suggests the 10 cent
museum. Let her await her turn and
grow fatter in anticipation of her
coming triumph-New York Letter.

APPEARANCES AGAINST HIM.
Dilemma OF a ProhIbitlonist Who
Was EscortIng Two Tnebriates.


Was EscortIng Two InebrIates.
One of the ablest of the tutors in q
leading New England college was at
the same time an uncompromising foe
to everything of the character of
strong drink.
He not only practiced all the teach
ings of the prohibition science in his
own person, but never allowed an op-
portunity to pass unused of publicly
declaring against Intoxicating bever-
ages and general dissipation. Hence
his standing in the matter was par
ticularly we'll known.
His rigidity of views on this subject,
however, did not prevent his owing to
several little hobbies and goodness
of heart that sometimes had the effect
of taking the moral partly out of his
precepts.
One of these hobbies was his ardent
love of botany, and his gentleness of
nature came out in his overlooking
and hiding many OF the collegians' lit
tie faults.
One morning early he was returning
from botaniZing excursion, when by
the roadside he saw q freshman who
was plainly the worse from being out
all night. He had evidently tried to
make his way to his lodgings, but the
effort was too much.
Stipulus, the tutor, reused him and,
linking his arm to his own, continued
on his way. But what was his sur
prise, on going some little distance, to
meet another student in quite the
same condition as the first.
For a moment the inconsistency of
him-a stanch teetotaler-playing a
part of rescuing ship to these wrecks
of dissipation made him pause, but his
heart got the better of it.
Lifting the second fallen one he
steadied the pair as well as he could
and kept on his way
This double burden was not easy
to navigate, and he was by no means
a powerful man their webbing gradu
ally impaired a like motion to his
own steps. And at the very moment
when this wave-like movement had
SO to speak, reached it's climax, on
turning q corner he came face to
face with several members of the
senior class.
The surprise was so great that, not
knowing whether they had given hin
the slightest sign of recognition, he
failed to recover himself, or even think
of asking assistance until they had
disappeared.
Conscious of the purity of his heart
and motives, however, he saw his
cargo home and then went about his
duties at the college, only to fine
the report meeting him on every
hand that that morning he had beer
seen in such a condition on the public
street that it was necessary for two
good-natured students to almost
break their backs trying to carry him
home.
OF course the matter was made
plain to the faculty, but while Stipu-
lus is no less a teetotaler than ever,
he wouldn't now stoop to pick up a
man if he saw him fall out of bal
loon.-Philadelphia Times.
