IN HANDS OF ARBITRAToRs.
Saxon Mill Weavers Leave Their Case
to the Board to Decide.

10 tno boaru TO Dcctucs
The weavers of the Saxon mill met this
morning and decided to leave themselves
in the hands Of the board OF arbitrators
as to whet er they shall accept the re-
vised list offered by the Saxon Mill com
pany. or whether they shall still remain
on strike.
The board OF arbitration was in session
for three hours this forenoon considering
the various lists OF prices but has not
yet completed It's labors The board ex-
pect to be ready with counter PROPOSE
tion to be submitted to the Saxon Mill
company on Saturday morning.
The board Of arbitrators places consd-
erable emphasis upon the agreement
which is TO be made with the
Saxon mill company, for. although
1t is the smallest. they think that
the list OF prices which is accepted by
the weavers OF this mill will be made the
basis Of settlement at the others.
1t WAS reported at noon that whatever
decision may be reached the Saxon mill
will open its doors for any to 20 to work
who desire to do So The executive COM
mittee laughs at this and says that unless
an honorable settlement be made the
weavers at the mill will still hold out.

Extraordinary Tactics Of Pennsylvania
Lawyer TO Eniiven a Trial.
II don't believe in trying case in n
dull, routine manner, SO that it be-
comes question whether the attorneys
Or the jurors will go to sleep first,
said ). s. Boyer of Sunbury, author of
"Boyer's Criminal Digest, to re-
porter. Mr. Boyer was defending
Eeorge Kuhn in the United States
courts against the charge of imperson-
ating United States officer. The case
proved to be one of the most amusing
that has ever been called. 1t was full
Of funny incidents from the beginning
eo the end.
Attorney Boyer is Pennsylvania
Dutchman and has enough of that ac-
cent to make his conversation very at
ractive. The first day of the trial
witness was called who, owing to some
chronic affection of the throat, was not
able to speak in an ordinary tone, but
had either to speak in whisper or
shout his words. Attorney Boyer didn't
know this, so when the witness began
to shout his answers Boyer thought he
was doing it to be disrespectful. He
became angry and shouted his questions
In "a not very polite manner.
In his speech to the jury Boyer said
some very bitter things about the wit
ness, among which was, "You saw how
much of a rowdy he was by his actions
on the stand" He was quite taken
aback when United States District At.
tornsy Hall arose and explained the wit
ness affiiction. In addressing the jury
Attorney Boyer apologized for not being
able to present his cese in an eloquent
manner for his soldier client. "for," F"
he said, AS my client left part of his
body on tho battlefield, so left part of
my voice nc the breakfast table" He
had met with an accident TO his teeth.
Attorney Boyer then went on to say;
"In the great book of books il says
that it is better TO leave 90 guilty per
sons go unpunished than to punish one
innocent man." Attorney Hall in
closing answered this in neat man
ner by saying: when the attorney for
the defense quoted about 90 guilty per-
sons from the book Of books. i at once
presumed he meant the Bible. I can
now see my mistake, as that sentiment
is not expressed there, for by his book
of books he must have meant Boyer's
Criminal Digest. This created a
great laugh in the court.
AS Attorney Boyer closed his speech
he did n most uncommon thing. He
turned to the jury and said: IF there
is any point you don't understand about
this case you'd like me 10 explain, just
ask me the question. I'll have 10 mako
the same restriction 10 you as i did 20
the supreme court, however. 1 told the
judges they wero at liberty to ask me
questions concerning the case i had
before them and not TO be afraid 10 do
10, as they conld not embarrass me, but
10 ask only ond question at a time, as
that was oil could answer" This odd
practice created quite little sensation
IN the court Attorney Boyer. after
abusing a witness IN a terrible manner.
turned and said. If that witness wants
90 see mo outside after the case is over,
I'll speak TO HIM" The case gave con-
slant amusement by the oddities that
crept In, and Attorney Boyer's natural
manner Of addressing the jury seemed
TO take, for his client was acquitted

BRUISERS,

GENTLY we'll off to send him to college.
There has been such a howl over the
proposed t%isticuffs between CoRBETT,
"gentleman," and MITCHELL, gentle
man" that even the bully democrats of
Coney Island have shrunk from permit
ting the savage exhibition, and the two
'gentlemen' are running about the
country seeking a place to maui each
other where the gate money will be
enough to pay. And it is only just and
decent that this should be so. If civil
cation is worth anything it is worth i'm
proving.
But meantime crowds of "~cultivated'
people are 1Ocking to another kind Of
exhibition that is just as brutal and de-
moralizing in tendency, under the name

WHAT HE SAID.

A gentleman who calls to see us every
once in a while was talking about the
Kelley institute the other day, and he said
that Notwithstanding some had fallen
from grace-the Kelley cure had been Of
incalculable v~alue-and that it would be
written in history that DIR. KELLEY was
a public benefactor.
For his own case, the gentleman in
question said that he had never been to
K~eeley-but that for over a dozen years
he lived a drunkard's life-that he was a
miserable man, and that he finally made
one grand super human effort as it
seemed to him, and he arose from the
mire. He says that he does not believe
Kelley can cure the liquor habit, but that
he does know he can extend the strongest
hand to the imagined hopeless drunkard
that can be put forth in this world. He
says that he simply treats a subject as
any other physician would treat one for
any other disease. He gets the system
in shape. The habitual drunkard may
all his life still yearn at times to take a
drink-but he says if one has moral
courage and enough self respect he can
over come his weakness and resist temp.
tation. If a man wants to quit drinking,
the thing for him to do is to avoid the
people who frequent bar rooms and who
are always insisting that one should take
something. He says he will wager his
existence that nine out Of ten cases of
dipsomania can be cured by faith. Well,
it may be, and GoD knows that if it can,
a faith factory would do a thriving bus
mess in this world.
No man can defend the drunkard. He
may pity him-and the tippler who goes
it light to-day will finally go down the
winding path chained to the chariot of
rum. So if faith is the thing to cure the
habit, the tippler is the fellow who
should early understand what our sober
friend related.
