In Kentucky Jurors Must BE Able to Read.
Circuit Judge Green in murder trial
at Williamstown decided that not being
able to read disqualified person from
sitting on a jury. 1t is the first time the
question has been raised we believe.
Section 225 Of the criminal code pro-
vides: 1.-The court shall, ON motion of
either party, and before argument to the
jury, instruct the jury on the law ap-
plicable to the case, which shall always
be given in writing" Congressman
Dickerson made the point that each jury
man should be able to read the instruc-

Another Murder In Kansas City. Kan.
Caused by Wount. d "Honor."
KANSAS CITY. No.. July 24.-Another
murder, the third within the past ten
days, was committed in Kansas City,
Kan, yesterday morning, when Charles
| Bunk shot and almost instantly killed
William Blackford at the formers
| home in Edgerton Place. The first OF
this trio of capital crimes was the kill
| ing of Dick Moore by William Mullens
over 4 game of craps in Lawrence's S
| joint on Third street: the second was
the murder of Lawyer B. E. Johnston by
Banker A. w. Little in front of Con-
ley's drug store on Minnesota avenue
over business transaction. In yester-
days murder the man was killed with
out warning by shot from behind,
and it was the most cowardly of them
all, as well as one deliberately premed-
itated. The killing was the result of
Blackford having paid too much atten-
ton to Blunk's wife.
Bunk owns ''joint" on North
Third street, near the Northwestern
railroad crossing, and Blackford had
been employed by him as bartender
since January until last Tuesday, when
Bunk objected to Blackford giving
away so many drinks, and the latter
quit work.
It seems that Bunk took girl to a
dance and Blackford, hearing of it,
took Mrs Bunk out This fired Mr..
Bunk up to the point of madness and
his honor could not be satisfied until
he had killed Blackford.

POurinr "a Gun of Coffee.

'Do you see how that cream has cur
died in your coffee?" said well known
caterer yesterday. You'd attribute
that to its being sour. That's not the
cause. The trouble is that very few
people know how to pour cup of cof-
fee. 1t is almost the universal notion
that the cream and sugar should be put
in first and then the hot coffee poured
upon this. This is mistake. as it will
almost invariably curdle the cream
You should first put the cream in the
cup, then the coffee, and put the sugar
in afterwards-if you use it-and you
will always have good cup Of coffee :"
