WASHINGTON Feb. 5.-Yesterday afternoon
in a quiet home in Washington overlooking
the Capitol, u bottle of wine was opened that
nearly 80 years ago was paid as a wager be-
tween two army officers in camp at Corinth,
Miss. The fact that each officer has ma
tional reputation, and that such thing is
not apt to happen again in thousand years.
makes the story of this particular bottle Of
wine most interesting. Thirteen gentlemen
sat down to n dinner given to celebrate the
occasion by General G. NJ. Dodge. In a long
speech General Bane explained the circum-
stances leading to the reunion. 1t was in
1868 and General burnside had issued an
order suppressing the Chicago Times for dis
loyal utterances. The bet was made between
General Dodge. the speaker, as to whether
President Lincoln would revoke the order.
The stake was q bottle OF green seal, and
was won by General Bane. 1t had been kept
all these years to be opened in the presen ce
of General Dodge. The guests tasted it and
spent n pleasant evening in recalling Incl

AFTER all a man is judged BY the
thoughtful world from the life he leads and
not exclusively from the condition of the

his survivors learn that he used his property

Too Many Cases Given to Juries.

THERE'S still another evil in the system.
We submit too many cases to the verdict of
the jury. In actions on contract, where the
damages are liqudated and the amount is
either undisputed or is the result of math-
ematical calculation, the trial should be
submitted to judge. The determination of
men of sound learning, unbiased Judgment
and ripe experience must in such case be
more satisfactory than the haphazard de-
Examinations of men mex pc rienced in other
business tnan their own, unframed in col
Iating or analyzing evidence and swayed
often unconsciously by passion, prejudice or
favoritsm. In such cases the rights of Jury
trial could readily be protected by provid-
ing that in cases of necessity the issues of
fact arising therein might be determined by
a Jury and presented to the judge for his in
formation and guidance.
AS we advance in civilization the law be-
comes more refined and difficult, the cases
more complicated and its application and
determination requires higher training Our
juries have not kept pace with these de-
mands. We cannot dispense with them, we
must improve them, and to do it most eff
ciently we must make its service honorable
and restrict its use to cases peculiarly its
province. HON. WIN. H. ARNoUx.
