The First RESOLUTIONS Adopted and the
Trial Court Deck.

The First Resolutions Adopted and the
Trial Court ON Deck.
After some preliminary sparring the first
and second resolutions of the majority
report were adopted, and then DIR. Briggs
rose rs if to address the assembly. He and
the moderator had brief colloquy and at
the close the moderator said: II would
suggest in theIinterest of of brotherly kind
ness and peace"
"Say justice" exclaimed a voice from the
gallery, which was said to be that of Pro-
fessor Henry Preserved Smith.
"You wait" retorted Moderator Craig
sternly. "Don't you put words into my
mouth. / speak for brotherly kindness
and peace, which are higher than justice,
for out of them come Justice"
The moderator then explained that he
had denied Prof Briggs the privilege of
speaking at that time, but there would
come a time when his brother should
speak. The moderator then announced
that in accordance with the book of gov
eminent the assembly would be turned into
judicial court of the Lord Jesus Christ and
following the rule of procedure called for
reading of the judgment notice of appeal.
the appeals and the specifications of the er-
rors alleged. This was done by stated clerk
Roberts, the reading occupying more than
an hour and a half and exhaust,ng all the
remainder Of the afternoon session.
The great audience sat more quietly
throughout the dreary repetition of legal
forms than they probably would have done
under the most eloquent sermon. The
court then adjourned for the day. After
the adjournment the moderator called Pro-
fessor Briggs and the prosecuting committee
in conference and asked them what length
OF time they desired to occupy on the ques-
ton. Professor Briggs asked for five
hours; the prosecution committee said they
were in the hands of the assembly, but de-
sired Professor Briggs to have all the time
he wanted.

revolver. Shaughnessey said: champion,

arrested and landed in Jail here after an
exciting time. Many threats of lynching
were made. A mob of 500 awaited the
train here with everything ready to lynch
Sullivan as soon as he arrived. The officers
left the train half a mile out and beat the
mob to the Jail one minute. Sullivan has
been arraigned and pleaded guilty.

over the majesty of Michigan's statutes.
During the night the mob collected and
broke in the Jail doors. They made their
way to the cell where Sullivan was confined
and found him lying on the floor with his
throat cut.
Savagery and Earbarism
A rope was quickly placed around his
neck and he was dragged to the floor and
out to the steps. The body was then pulled
to the ground where the maddened crowd
trampled on the remains and mutiated
them in a terrible manner. Then the
clothes were torn from the corpse and the
rope was swung over the limb of tree,
the crowd jerking it up and down. The
murderer's body was finally let down and
dragged around the Jail yard for some
time, and the crowd finally dispersed. The
sheriff made a show of resistance at first,
but was overpowered.

When You Write to the Editor.

Occasionally people while reading their news
papers in the street car come upon remarks
which rouse their opposition, Indignation or ap-
proval to such degree that they feel impelled
to write to the editor and express their feelings
at once. Out comes the memorandum book and
on tOrn-off leaf letter is scrubbed in the best
way which extreme haste and the jOltng of the
car will permit. 1t is mailed that day and the
writer is often astonished at not seeing it pub
lished the next morning. Here follow a few
hints to correspondents, which. if observed, will
60 far to insure publication
nyOur communication refers to something al
ready published don't bother to mention that
fact; just give the additional news and let the
editor write an Introductory sentence or so ex-
planning what you are talking about He has
the files handy, and likes to search through them
for day and date. If you want to use a word
you don't know how to spell there is little use
hunting it up in a dictionary; spell it in Arthe-
mus Ward style and put quotation marks on it..
That will look as if you were Joking and editors
love that kind of a funny man.
As for grammar, why worry about that?
Grammarians differ so among themselves that
the editor will probably disagree with you any
way. So let him attend to the grammar; he has
Make each sentence as long and as much in
vOlved as possible. Then if you decide toward
the latter end of one to change the construction
and end the sentence somewhat differently from
your original intention do so without hesitation
and don't waste time making the first part of
the sentence conform with the last; the editor
can easily see what you are driving at and alter
it at his leisure, of which he has so much more
than you.
With regard to punctuation, do it prOfusely or
not at all In the former case the editor can
amuse himself scratching out the superfOus
marks, and in the latter will find gymnastics for
his mind i'll determining where your phrases con-
meet. He needs something like this to keep him
from sleeping at his desk.
Write on both sides of paper, so the foreman
will be unable to cut it into "takeS,'' which he
foolishly thinks necessary for rapid work.
Don't write legbly, or the editor will take you
for mere beginner. man of little Importance
Illegibility in their handwriting is assiduOusly
preserved by some of our most distinguished
men.
If you send typewriter matter, run the lines
SO closely together that no room is left for i'm
pertinent interlineatiOns or corrections by the
editor, and if you find that you have mad
vertently used a wrong word, write the correct
one on top of the wrong one every time.
If you observe these rules carefully. whenever
the editor finds letter from you lying on the
table, he will drop all other business in order to
get at it, that he may puzzle out its meaning and
prepare it for the compositor at once.-Ne,U
York Tribune
