Jury In the Famous Murder Case
Declares Defendant Not Guilty.
NEW BEDFORD, Mass, June 21.-The
jury in the Borden case, after being
out little over an hour. returned
verdict of not guilty. After the verdict
had been received the district attorney
moved that the other cases against Miss
Borden be nolle pressed, and the order
of the court was to that effect.
The scenes at the close of the
trial were in contrast with those that
preceded it. Heretofore everything
had been decorous and in keeping with
the most dignified court in the country.
But when the verdict of mot guilty"
was returned
Il Cheer Went Up
which might have been heard half a
mile away through the open windows
and there was no attempt to check it.
The stern judge looked straight ahead
at the bare walls He was pow
erless to WELD the gavel which lies
ready for his use and not once during
the tremendous excitement, which
lasted fully minute. did he make the
slightest sign of having heard it. He
never saw the people rising in their
seats and waving their handkerchiefs
in unison with their voices because his
eyes were full of tears and were COM
pletely blinded for the time.
Miss Borden heard the verdict stand
ing at the bar and tears came where
they had not been for many day.
When the spectators had finally gone
Miss Borden was taken to the room of
the justices and allowed to recover her
composure. At the expiration of an
hour she was placed in carriage and
driven to the station, where she took
train for Fall River.

JUVENILE SMOKING.

Mettle,

Wherein the Birch Bark Should Show Ita
Mettle.
Expressions of individual opinion re.
garding this form of youthful perver.
sity are not lacking; but before the
custom can be wholly abolished gen.
eral and outspoken objection must be
made and maintained, says an exchange.
No one who has really given any
thought to the matter would hesitate
in coademning the injurious folly Of
the practice. Stunted growth, i'm.
paired digestion, palpitation and the
other evidences of nerve exhaustion
and irritability have again and again
impressed a lesson of abstinence
which has hitherto been far too little
regarded.
A further stage of warning has been
reached in case which lately came
before coroner. A boy was in the
habit of smoking cigarettes and cigar
ends, and after an attack of sickness,
died somewhat suddenly.
The post-mortem examination re-.
vealed fatty changes in the heart,
which there was little doubt, as the
verdict held, had been fatally supple
mented in their influence by the smok.
ing habit referred to.
This. of course, is an extreme ex-
ample. 1t is also, however, after all,
only the strongly colored illustration Of
effects upon health which are daily re-
allied in thousands of instances.
The pipe or cigar is nothing less
than dangerous when it ministers to
the unbounded whims and cravings of
every needless urchin. Clearly there
is need of some controlling power
here, for the parent, in certain classes,
is almost as ignorant of consequences
and, probably, often quite as apathetio
as his boy.

Family Resemblances.

Prof. Galton, illustrating the strong
likeness which often exists between
members Of the same family. says the
Youths Companion, reports the follow
ing facts: One boy sometimes spoke
to himself in looking glass, thinking
he was talking to his brother. A little
girl, whose mother and aunt were twins
often called her aunt mother" and her
mother "auntie," SO much alike were
those ladies.
"On one occasion, when returned
from foreign service, says q British Of
ficer, my father turned to me and said |:
I thought you were in London, think.
ing 1 was my brother; jet he had not
seen me for nearly four years"
But the following anecdote is still
more interesting. 1t was sent to Prof.
Galton by young Englishman who
says Il was coming home from India
on leave 9f absence. The ship did not
arrive for some days after it was due,
My twin brother Ben had come up to
receive me and our aged mother was
very nervous.
"One morning, after she had under

A Mexican Popularity.

There is one popularity about the
Mexicans in their social and family re-

any other people on the globe" said P.
L. He'll, of chihuahua. Mexico, at the
Lindell. "While 1t is true that a ma
jority of those occupying the highest
social and political positions in the
country are descendants of the proud
old aristocratic Spaniards, yet it is
equally true that great many others of
wealth and acknowledged leadership
have come up from the lower ranks by
some sudden turn of the wheel of for.
tune or eruption of revolution, Unlike
the American, the Mexican who acquires
fame and fortUus never forgets or neg

American again, he treats his more inn
pecunious relatives in queer way. He
takes them into his household as SER

or attempting TO conceal it. know Of
many instances where rich Mexican's

own them altogether or put them on an

A METRlCAL MINIATURE.

Her eyes display blended hue
,Jf summer skies and violets blue,
With just hint of April dew
TO make her glances bright
But, lest their lustre be too fair,
And brighter than the world could bear
Long lashes. like silken snare.
Befrnge her lids of white.
Shy apple-blossoms flushed with morn
Have lent their color to adorn
Her cheek. whereon is gaily born
4 dimple with each smile.
Her wayward tresses scoru to rest
BY ribbon bound or fillet prest,
And ever weave at their behest
Fresh graces 10 beguile.
Her curving lips by turns recall
Red roses. pOppies, cherries-all
That wins the eye or could enthrall
A hermit or saint.
Her cleaning teeth 'twere vain to hymn;
The brightest words are all too dim;
The artist who their light would linn
Must crush pearl for paint.
Beneath her kirtle peeps foot
hat charms in slipper. gaiter, boot:
Whose music makes the birds grow mute
With bended heads to hear.
Her hand can boast perfection's mold.
In winter warm. in summer cold,
And just the temperature to Aold
AT any time of year.
A snowy neck, wtching chin.
a N ear in tint the sea-shell's twin,
saucy nose-just put that in
The bonnie little belle!
Her name? All, there hesitate:
" ith many a rival at her gate.
Her name, until know my fate.

Else You May Hit One of These Thiei
Catching Cats.
A correspondent of the New York
World had occasion recently to visit
large grain elevator on Thirty fourth
street. near the North River. As he
walked through the ground floor to the
Office he saw with some surprise, ranged
on one side of the building, a score of
big, sleek cats, contentedly chewing
choice bits of meat. No fear marked
their demeanor as he approached, no
faltering eye was turned; all were forti.
fed by the sense of security born of
conscious rectitude and the pride Of
duty we'll performed.
The proprietor of the elevator saw his
visitors establishment. He smiled and
said: What, those? Why, they are
my Pinkertons-my sheriffs posse
my metropolitan police. They save me
from ruin every week. They are faith
full, reliable, indefatigable. They never
go on sprees, never sulk, never ask for
holidays, never strike for higher wages.
They never elope, and they never steal.
They are never in the way and they
quietly do their duty with the precision
and promptness of veteran of the Inn
perial Guard.
Take them away from me and my
business would be ruined. Iwould lose
more grain in few weeks than my
profits for year would pay for. II

his cats and lost what they would have

without bread. A plague would over
whelm us. to which cholera, yellow
fever or black death would be trivial.
To what do I refer? Rats, sir, rats!
IF we produce people did not keep
those pests continually in check they
would wipe out great slices of the
worlds wealth in no time. Go read the
story of the Pied Piper. It's true. We
are fighting these robbers necessarily.
Take away my little community there
and I could not keep sack whole or
bin full. Jesse James and Italian ban
dts are nothing to these bullies,

your back is turned, and disappear
when you turn your face. Give one
