A SENSIBLE CHARGE,
Judge Hammond at Memphis Tells 9
Jury Its Duty.

Judge Hammond, of Memphis,
used some very pointed language
the other day in charge to a
Jury that was trying a wretch for a
very aggravated offense. 1t was a
charge that will be read by the pub
lie everywhere in the State, and it
should sink deep into the minds Of
the men vino usually get on the juries
in important cases. In making the
charge Judge Hammond said:
sit hehooves juries to do their
whole duty in dealing with crime
only by such means can the people
be inspired with sufficient confidence
in our courts to induce them to for
bear the barbaric mode of seeking re-
dress and resort TO the channel pro
vided by law-the c0urts-which lat
ter method is in accordance with our
ideas of civilization. The shotgun
policy is always fraught with the
danger of Staying an innocent man.
A jury without passion or prejudice
weighs the evidence and fixes the
guilt or innocence of the accused. II
a jury finds a deienGaLt guilty be-
yond a reasonable doubt, it is their
duty fearlessly to say so, no matter
what sympathy they may have for
the accused or his family. 1t is
duty they owe to society, and II they
would have our courts respected they
must do their whole duty firmly and
impair lally."
There are but the fewest of men
who recognize the important step
they take when they 60 on jury.
A man has two-fold duty to per-
form. He has the life of his fellow
man, perhaps, in his hand, and he
also has duty to perform to society.
He must not allow the sobbings OF
wife or the pieadings OF father to
swerve him in his course. He must
have the ability to overlook all such
things as these and to do justice to
the accused and to society.
The charge mentioned above was
delivered to the jury that tried the
man Kossel for sending obscene mat
ter through the mails to n young lady
of Memphis. The defendant stood
well in Memphis before the trouble
and he had an excellent wife, who,
woman like, stood by him in his
trouble, remaining in lhe court room
all through the trial and Offering to
go 10 Jail with him after he had heen
convictei. The jury convicted Kos
sci, notwithstanding the fact that he
had money and counsel, and de-
voted " lie to plead for him, and there
Is little doubt that the straight talk
given the jur, by Judge Hammond
had something to do with the ver-
dict. The time has come in this
country when a jury must net allow
the pleadings of relatives or counsel
to cheat iustica,

Lace belongs TO them, whether IT 10
piled up over the dear old head or gath
cred at neck and sleeves. Crepe lisse is
theirs by right of its delicate softening
effect. Rich dark silks, brocades and
velvets were never so well employed as
in gowns for those dear old ladies. Soft
woods in drab, prune gray and black
seem made on purpose for them, and in
them they make charming pictures.
The driving dresses are usually warm
and thick rather than ornate, and the
wrap should be of a rich and elegant
kind and one of those that does not 40
out of fashion soon, as grandmothers do
not like to change the fashion Of their
clothes with every new moon. The bon
nets are made to suit. There are those
that come down over the ears, and there
are felt hats for those who like them,
trimmed heavily with feathers and
MORE ribbon, and wide bows under tho
chin, for few ladies who have passed
their fifties can go without the bow
under the chin, which hides that fatal
double fold of flesh and preserves the
old outline of younger days. There are
close capotes and bonnets of various
kinds but little different in style from
those for the granddaughters, only that
the colors are trifle quieter, and the
outlines not quite SO accentuated. Grand
mothers are as dainty with their gloves,
their shoes and other trifles as their
granddaughters, and this is as it should
be. They should be even more particu-
lar with their toilet to make up for the
ravages Of time.
| might add q word here about shoes
for the very old grandmothers-no the
active, middle aged ones. For them,
when their foct are tired with many
weary midnight walks with fretful
babies, are lovely soft shoes with soles
flexible enough for the tenderest feet
And it is now the fashion to crochet and
knit warm woolen shoes and sew them
to thick felt soles. A pretty ribbon
around the top finishes them and draws
the top snugly around the ankles and
keeps the feet warm as toast No better
present could be devised for dear old
grandmother.
Her little pets are dressed so quantity
ny I'LL AIueTlChU U1ObUcTS. 1IUdhb are
of elder down flannel or of some of the
thick, soft woolens, garnished with mar
row bands Of fur or ribbon. One cum
ming little coat of drab flannel has
sleeves and yoke braided with green
braid, and sash bow with three round
tassels Of green silk. The hat was green
felt and drab plush.
Another had shorter coat of light
blue cashmere with black astrakhan
trimming, and hat of white felt with
blue ribbons and plumes. A funny lit
tie Quakerish gown for party for
girl of ten was Of baby blue cashmere
with ribbon bands around the skirt.
The waist was quilted onto the yoke and
held in just under the arms with ribbon,
and the sleeves were made the same way.
Il Is like the "hourglass" pattern in
vogue perhaps 200 years ago. It is pic
turesque, but do not call it pretty, yet
one has to give the fashions as they are.

A QUACK IN AFRICA.
Hc Took Cattle rs Fees and Soon Acquired
Thousand Animals.


A German agent in the southwest AT
rican possessions of Germany writes to
headquarters in Berlin that confidence
men and scamps have invaded even
that sparsely settled and half-savage
region. He says that ayear ago white
man went wandering through the coun-
try carrying on his back bag filed
with medical nostrums. Little atten-
ton was paid to him, but it was found
later that he knew nothing whatever of
medicine, and that his little plasters,
waters and drugs were worth no moro
than SO much fetish. He heralded his
coming everywhere, just as the quack
doctors do In this country, and the sim
pie-minded natives flocked to him from
far and near to secure the benefits of
his wonderful treatment. He remained
only two or three weeks in place, and
then would seek other fields He took
payment in cattle, and from place to
place he drove his herd, which cost him
nothing for food and kept rapidly in
creasing in size.
Finally he reappeared on the coast
with herd of about one thousand six
hundred cattle out of which he had
bunkoed the natives. As he had no
medical skill and the contents of the
mysterious bag probably were not
worth ten dollars, he found the business
a paying one. The natives, after he
had swindled them, made up their
minds as to his true character, and the
German agent writes that it probably
would not be safe now for any itinerate
dealer in medicine and cures to travel
through the country; however honest
and competent he might be-
The agent says, however, that there
is fine opening in southwest Africa
for some young practitioner who is hav-
ing hard work building up practice in
Germany. He names the town where
the young man should settle, and SAYS
he is confident that few years prac-
tice among the natives there would en-
able him 10 return to Germany with a
snug little fortune. The agent will ex-
ercise great care to prevent any more
quacks and humbugs from getting into
the country and giving the natives an
unfavorable impression of all white
men.-Chicago Times.
