Judge Roger A. Pryor of New York has recently made several rulings that stir up the old fogy lawyers from the fact that these rulings are in direct line with enlightened modern common sense instead of with musty, antiquated prec- edents. For one thing he ruled that jurymen should read newspapers as much as they liked. "A jury" said Judge Pryor. lis composed of intelligent men"

How to Lay Out Curved Walks.

A very quick way to lay out a curved walk is to use elothesline or small rope in the direction it is desired to have the walk, and when the proper curve is at tained drive small sticks into the ground at short intervals alongside tho rope. To get the line for the other side of the walk cut stick as long as you want the width of the walk to be and use for spac- ing, setting Q second row of stakes. Leave the stakes in position until tho walk is finished.

THE weatber bureau is indulging in

THE weather bureau is indulging in some big blowing on its own account. It claims to have predicted the cyclones twenty-four hours in advance, and to have warned people who were in dan ger. The trouble appears to have been that the people who were warned didn't take sufficient stock in the weather bu- reau's proficiency to heed its warnings.

Halstead,s Silver Policy.

In the New York Herald MT. Murut Halstead outlines a proposal of silver policy for President Cleveland. The main feature of it is that after the Sher- man act is repealed silver be made the basis of bank circulation. MT. Halstead says:
 Suppose the repeal of the sherman law was associated with the repeal of the state bank tax and the provision that national and state banks could issue notes to the amount of % per cent of the gold value of deposited silver bull lion There Is something more than con lecture that points to this, far of though it seems, as feature of the financial policy of the admins tration. Cleveland and Carlisle have been in- terested precisely as here stated, and they have got to do something when congress conyenes. The measure suggested would not be attractive at first to the free silver men unless they could issue straight silver paper. They want loo cents of profit on each ounce of product Govern ment, though decli.ing to purchase any more of the white money metal, would open a mar ket for 1t. The national and state banks might as well Invest in metal as in paper, And they might want great deal of silver. They might buy some of our pig silver with the paper is- sued on 1t.
 1t is the theory that the national banks could reorganiZe. buying pig silver for security of notes On the bonds now held RS securities, and find the advantage or pcrmanency some com pensation for the fact that they could not draw interest on the metal as they do on bonds, but the paper would circulate, and on that the market rate of interest would be obtained. If the national banks decline to 20 into the silver business, the state banks would have tho field Co themselves. Of course there would be a con- test over the amount of paper issued on silver security. Safety would bc in fixing it at 10 per cent below the gold value. With this rccog- hilton of the gold standard and talk kng the gov erument out of the market WE could be re- Heved from the speCter of the silver standard and securities held abroad not be rushed upon us under the apprehension that they might Shrink +6 per cent in two days.

Subscriptions and offers of substantial help came steadily to President Higin- botham, who sat at his desk in his shirt sleeVes saying little about the calamity, but working hard. He acted as trustee of the relief fund.
 The total amount of the subscription fund amounts to over $5, 900, but it will not stop there by any means. The spirit of aid for the suffering families is abroad, and everybody is anxious to contribute his or her money. The ClhF Dwellers company will give a performance for the benefit of the brave men. A substantial sum, will no doubt be realized from a special benefit performance of the military tournament at noon tomorrow in the Stock pavilion.

JOSEPH JEFFERSON.
How lie Spends His Time at HIs Buzz
zsrd's Bay Home.

Mr. NJ. Fletcher Of IS w. North-st. has
q personal acquaintance with the great
actor, Joseph Jefferson, who will shortly
appear here. Said he yesterday TO SEN.
TINEL reporter:
Those who admire Joseph Jefferson as
IN actor would find him quite as delight.
ful socially in his home life. All will re-.
greet the burning of his beautiful summer
home on Buzzard's bay, where most of
his time has been spent the last few years
when not professionally engaged, and
where hospitality has been broadly ex-
tended to children, grandchildren and
friends. Mr.. Jefferson is genial in dlspo-
sitiOn snd manner, and so unostentatiOus
In dress that a visitor at the bay would
scarcely distinguish him from an ordinary
rustic.
HE lie very much interested in local
affairs and may be seen fraternizing with
some neighboring soil tiller, discussing
crops and land improvements though Mr..
Jefferson, unlike the typical farmer, is
never found lettering around postofiice or
village store. Two of his special cronies
at Buzzard's bay are President Cleveland
and Richard Watson Glider of the Cen
Urg VINO nave sum mer homes near Dy.
Usually one or more members of Mr..
Jetterson's company are within call and
Jolly parties and private theatricals are of
frequent occurrence. Recently Mr.. JEFF
ferson and Mr.. Cleveland nave completed
a carrisge bridge over the bay, something
long desired but never before accom-
plished. Sometimes the great actor does
not appear among his friends for several
days, and then il is known that he is de-
voting himself to painting, in which be
is a master. Some of his most valuable
productions were destroyed in the recent
fire.
"His chief recreation, however, is taken
on the water. sailing, trolling or casting
the line from the bridge, for he is an en-
thusiastic and skllful fisherman. A
branch of the Old Colony railroad crosses
the narrow part of the bay just within
sight OF Jelerson's place, and under the
bridge the ebb and flow of the tide cause
a very rapid current In the security of
the foot passengers way Jefferson and his
fellow-anglers conGreRate. ana from thence
have exciting tussels with that king of the
bay, the white bass. and the milder blue
fish, using shrimp for bait and sometimes
letting out the line for 200 yards before
capturing their prizes"

About Q 80 o'clock, Mr.. and Mrs. Ey-
ster were in the store talking when two col
ored men, each apparently about nine
teen years OF age entered and asked to be
shown a pack of playing cards. The
price did not suit them so they changed
their minds and concluded to take pair
of dice. After paying for them they left
the store laughing and joking and ap-
peared to be In the best of humor.
Mrs. Eyster went to her rooms upstairs
and her husband informed her that he
would close up in few minutes and fol-
low her. She had scarcely left the store,
however, when the men returned and in
formed Mr.. Eyster that they had
concluded not to take the dice and would
like to exchange them for cigarettes.
That's all right" said Mr. Eyster,
anything you say goes" and turned
around to get the cigarettes.
"Well, you are an angel" ssid one of
the men.
80, that's all right" returned the drug
gist.
"You are an angel. or at least ought to
be-" exclaimed the negro and drawing an
old-fashioned revolver from his pocket he
fred directly at Mr.. Eyster, the bullet
striking him in the center of the abdo-
men. The injured man placed his hand
on his heart and exclaimed:
my God, Pm shot," and started On
run upstairs. where he met his wife and
informed her OF what had happened, the
negroes in the meantime making good
their escape out of the front door.
The screams of Mrs. Eyster attracted
the attention of Patrolmen Ward and
Carter, who were standing on the corner
of Fourth and Mississippi-sts. and they
fastened to the scene. but too late to
prevent the negroes from escaping. Drs.
carp and Browning were summoned and
made hasty examination of the mans
injuries and gave it as their opinion that
he is seriously if not fatally injured. The
bullet entered about the center of the
abdomen and took q downward course.
They traced it's course for about FIVE or
six inches but were unable to find its ex-
act location.
The affair is shrouded in the deepest
mystery. and Mr.. Eyster nor any of his
friends can give any reason whatever for
the shooting unless it was for the purpose
of robbery. This is not plausible story,
however, for no attempt was made to hold
him up, and even after the shooting no at
tempt was made TO rob the store. Had
robbery been the intention OF the men
they would have probably taken another
course rather than shooting Mr.. Eyster,
The Indiana State sentinel. [volume] (Indianapolis) 1868-1895, 1893-04-19

and the only reason assigned tor the act
is that they had some grudge against him
and took this way OF getting even. MIR.
Eyster, however, is not inclined
is believe that this is the
case, for he says he has
no knowledge OF an enemy among the
colored people living in the city. lie de-
scribes the men As being rather heavy
set, apparently about nineteen years Old
and wearing soft felI hats. They were
strangers TO MIN, but he is positive that
he would recognize them il thev were
brought before him. Neither of the men
wero intoxicated. The police will put
forth every effort IN their power TO capture
the men and are making 3 thorough
search of the city for them
After Mr.. oysters wound had been
dressed he rested quietly, but the injury
is dangerous one and may prove fatal.
Saturday morning Mr.. Eyster died from
the effects OF the wound. Two negroes
were arrested and charged with the muir
der. Their names are John Parker and
Edward McAfee. They deny their guilt.
but the chief of police thinks that he has
the right parties.

The Brazen Cheek.

The New York Tribune is now in great
agony over the dangers that threaten the
country from the dangerous views of the
democratic party on the currency ques-
ton. 1t is convinced that the country is in
a most critical condition on account OF the
Sherman silver law, and anticipates
frightful results in the future if that law
shall not be repealed. 1t gives President
CLEVELAND praise for desiring the repeal,
but is fearful that he will not be able to
educate his party to his position. Thus:
1t is to be hoped that the president will
not forget the risk he takes in supposing
that such a party can be educated TO finan.
cial sense or honesty with ease or rapidly.
The country cannot afford to have another
monetary debauch in order to lift the
democratic party out of the mire of its
heresies.
We sympathize with the Tribune in its
distress. but must pause to ask why il did
not have better understanding OF finan-
cial heI estes when the Sherman law was
passed. 1t was passed by a republican
congress and approved by republican
president The republican press, includ-
ing the Tribune, Endorsed it as a great
financial measure, which would solve the
vexed silver problem. Why is it any
more heretical now than il was then? We
do not think OF any answer that can be
given, except that the law has proven fail
ure. 1t has accomplished exactly the OPP
posite of what il was promised would be
accomplished by it. That being the case.
WHY should anyone have any further con-
fidence in the financial views of the
Tribune and the remainder of the repub-
lican press? They confess that they were
completely mistaken then. What assur-
ance have we that they are any better
qualified to dictate the financial policy of
the country now? 1t would be more
