to rob him. When he moved up toward the

chance to open a window and holler or get any

He had got about one more step to make to
reach the bureau. and he was moving along as
quiet as q man could when. quicker'n lightning
he made jump and butted me square off my

industries SIN Inc-ease.

Ship building is almost an entirely new
! industry south Of Philadelphia But an
order recently placed at the Virginia ship
yard Of Newport News by tie Pacific I'm
provement Company for two 5, OOO-ton iron
steams lips costing about 5000 900 each, for
the Morgan steamship line. indicates
that this great transportation COM
pany has confidence in the skill
snd facilities at the command
Of that yard for the proper construction Of
those immense vessels. Iron steamships Of
large capacity have never before been built
south of Baltimore. But these are to be
larger than any ever previously built south
Of Philadelphia. They are to be 4O5 feet
long and 4sfeet beam, with triple-expansion
engines and the highest grade Of workman
ship in every respect.
Besides these important undertakings the
Baltimore Manufacturers Record reports
many other promising projects in prospect
for this year. Among them may be men
toned the organization Of a company with
a paid-up capital of 81, 900, 600 to establish a

Touched a Jurors Conscience.

Several years ago, says writer In the Chi
cago Nelcs, william s. Forrest was sitting in
his office bordering over q case of his which had
just been passed upon by a jury (his client
having been found guilty of murder and sen
fenced to life Imprisonment VIII n one of the
twelve jurors who had decided the case entered
Mr.. Forrest, " said he, you must be sure to
get that poor fellow a new trial"
Why's" asked Forrest, in his blunt manner
Because think he Is innocent"
oh, that doesn't make any difference. Why
did you not sentence him to deathf We would
then have hanging in Cook county, and no
doubt the entire jury could have gotten a pass
to see the sight. Did you ever see hanging!
Nor You should see one"
What, ga ped the astonished Juror, could
you have seen MIN hangvd?''
"Certalnly, the law must have taken its course
did all could to save him. My conscience is
clear. But had rather be damned than be in
the position of a juror who found the man
guilty when be believed him innocent"
1t was not until this point in the conversation
that the astonished Juror saw through Mr. For
rests remarks but the attorney had no mercy
He was sore over the matter. and to hear that
juror explain that he voted for a life sentence
because the other eleven did was too much for
him; and while he talked jokingly of hanging.
he sent every shot home and the most miserable
man in all Chicago was that Juror
Two years later the convict was a free man,
He secured new trial, and the second jury
found him innocent

An Abused Statute to Be Repealed.
After many years of experience and
great many curious, not to say grotesque
developments of the law, England is about
to repeal the ancient statute authorizing
legal actions and providing penalties for
breach Of promise Of marriage. Probably
no law on the statute books has been more
abused. 1t was really never a reasonably
rational law. 1t was always legal absurd
ity, and merely fostered folly and fraud.
Wisdom and everyday experience GER
tainly do not sustain such a statute.
When a woman fails to attract and can
not persuade the man of her choice TO marry
her, she is certainly very foolish to attempt
to ensnare him by coercion. Thus she merely
gratifies her passion at the expense of her
life-prospects Of peace. Hence it is posi-
tive benefit to her to prevent her from so
destroying her whole future by such
manifestation OF matrimonial madness-to
which, however. SO many emotional women
are all too ready to yield. Then there are
the thrifty DANES and damsels who go in
for what they may profit by laying bare
TO the gaping world their alleged heart
ioCeihblohH. Ahey aTo tue vampires WHO
have made the law odious by prostituting
it to Matchmaking purposes.
1t is diff cult for sensitive, self Prospecting
woman to bring herself to institute a suit
for breach Of promise, whatever her wrongs
might have been. Such Haunting public
exposure of her most sacred emotions could
only prove to her a greater torture than
the poignant pain of disappointment.
Beside, her pride would prevent her from
attempting to assert any claims upon a
man who palpably did not want her.
To their credit be it said that men very
rarely avail Of the law. Since the statute
has proven more baneful than beneficial
the time has arrived, according to English
opinion, when it should be repealed without
further delay.
