A writer in Science denies that tho
letter is a lineal descendant from
the Roman Y, which. in the time Of
Cicero, was borrowed from the Greek
alphabet to represent upsilon in the
translation Of Greek names The
latter is only used, he says, as a vowel
to transliterate upsilon in loan words,
either direct from the Greek or indi-
rectly through Latin or French. In
a great majority of cases the English
is a semi-consonant, corresponding
in value with the Continental ]. Along
with the other Roman letters, y was
adopted by the Anglo-Saxon5 from
the Latin alphabet, with value APP
prOximating to that of /. In fact, he
claims that there is not lineal de-
scendant Of the Anglo-Saxon word
now in existence. The letter in
modern English words is. curiously
enough. he claims. not at all, but a
lineal descendant Of the Anglo-Saxon

by the Romans out Of an earlier G.

The court room was crowded with
people who were anxious to know
what sentence the judge would pro-
nounce on ''that wild man who at
tackled Mr.. Jenkins, you know, with
out the least provOcation.
The prisoner stood sullen and
stony, waiting for sentence. He had
offered no defence and answered no
questions, He seemed dead to every
thing. The judge cleared his throat
and addressed the prisoner. He re-
viewed the evidence in a mastery
manner, touching upon the defend
ants sullen demeanor in court. and
giving him some good advice, which
was lost ON the man, who did not
seem to hear it. The sentence was
five years in state prison with hard
labor.
The prisoner looked up with a
CLEAN of intelligence, his face worked.
while he trembled in every limb and
was finally borne from the courtroom
in a fainting condition.
The crowd dispersed, glad to get
into the air again, for in July the at
mosphere of crowded courtroom is
anything but pleasant.

that the sentence was a just one, and

Closed On Sunday.

Experience has already PROVED
that the multitude anxious ap(
willing to pay for the privilege OF
seeing the Worlds Fair is much
greater on Sunday than any other
day. Hundreds of thousands OF
workingmen, with their wives,
families and sweethearts, living
in or near Chicago, are clamoring
for the privilege of viewing the
grea, exposition on the only day
when they can do so without los
ing days wages. But there are
three influences at work which so
far have succeeded, and may sue
coed in future, in keeping the
gates closed on Sunday. The CEN
trail of these influences is the legal
wing of the United States govern
ment, represented by Attorney
General Olney. He maintains
that it was agreed when govern
ment aid for the fair was granted
that Sunday should be observed.
and that the law must be enforced
"A second influence is that of the
religious organizations, which are
honest and earnest in their claim
hat it would be rank Sabbath de-
'ecration for the working people
who toll the other six days to

Circumstancial Evidence.

The execution of Harris for al
legged wife poisoning has not, it
seems, been satisfactory to the pu-
bic. The great probability is
that he was guilty of that most
atrOciOus and unnatural crime,
still there was room for doubt.
1t may he that he did not do it..
1t may be, then, that instead of
numbering the girl he has himself
been murdered. The killing of
an innocent man is murder whe-
Their by an individual or by COM
munity. 1t may be said that in
the case OF an execution by the
government there is no malice and
malice is necessary to murder;
but there is general malice in that
trifling with human life which
takes chances that from time to
time prove to have been ipjudici-
Gus and unjust.
ut is better that ninety and
nine guilty escape than that one
innocent man should perish"
What then are we to think of that
law. OF that construction of law.
which must necessarily result,
once in a while, in the judicial
killing of an innocent man? But.
it is said, this may never happen
again. 1t is idle to make any such
supposition. A rule which has
always and lii all countries worked
in that way will continue to work
in that way. A rule that once in
a while convicts an innocent man
is bad rule. Its mistakes are
not accidental; they result from
an inherent defect, from taking
chances that ought not to be tax
ken. The law talks of "reasona-
BILE doubt" "Circumstantial evil
dence must convince beyond rea-
sonable doubt before the Jury
ought to convict" But in truth |
and in fact any doubt whatever is
reasonable SO long as mistake
may possibly be made.
Other mistakes may be rectified |
and made good. The mistake
which results in death is final and

Lewis Chambers COMMITTED.

Lewis Chambers one of the men
convicted and sentenced to death
for the murder of Mrs. Robertson
and her daughter, who was respit-
ed by the Governor Just a few
days before the day fix for the
hanging, had his sentence commu-
ted to life Imprisonment at hard
labor in the pennitentiary.
AT the time the application was
made for communication of his
sentence very few people believed
that such would be the result. al
though many of our people who
heard all the evidence always
maintained that there was too
much doubt in Chambers case
for a death penalty.
Chambers is no doubt n bad
man if all we heard of him is true.
and on this account there was
great prejudice against him. and
we have heard many expressed
the opinion that if he was not
guilty of the Robertson crime, he
had committed others for which
he should hang. The more con-
servative people who took under
consideration the strong doubt
that existed in this case, thought
that it should be to the benefit of
the man.
The evidence brought before the
board of pardon must have been
strong IN favor of Chambers for
them to grant him a communication
OF his sentence, and what the
board did, we believe was done
after due and mature deliberation.
Saturday morning last, our peo-
pie, who were not informed of the
communion of Chambers, were
surprised to see him pass through
town IN charge of Sheriff Rees.

take the train for the penitentiary

OF our people if they knew of the {
of the sentence of [
the man. We believe our people I
have had enough in the past few {
years with lawlessness, and we ap- a
prehanded nothing of the kind.
Chambers was convicted for the r
murder of Mrs. Robertson. and if /

The legislature Of Michigan b.

The Legislature Of Michigan has
repealed the famous law whereby
presidential electors were selected
by congressional districts. The
constitution Of the United States,
however, provides that the states
shall appoint electors in such man
ner as their respective Legislature
may direct. The suggestion has
frequently been made in view Of the
INSTRUMENTATION process, and be-
cause in some Of the states these
electors were chosen by the legis-
lature themselves, that the consti-
tuition. should be so amended as to
require presidential electors chosen
in a uniform manner throughout
the union. Whatever may have
been the Objectionable features Of
the Michigan law its fatal defect
was that the method was not univ
ersal.
