WEAKNESSES OF GENIUS.

Great Men Who Have Been Conspicuously
 Deficient In Mental and Moral Health.
 Dr. James Weir observes that mechan- ical geniuses, or those who deal mainly with material facts, do not, as a rule, show any signs of mental degeneration. In proof of this one need only instance Darwin, Galilei, Edison, Maxim, Watt, Rumsey, Howe, Morse, etc. It is only the genius of @stheticism, the genius of the emotions, that is generally accompanied by unmistakable signs of degeneration. Swinburne's poems show the mental bias of their author, who is described as pecul- jar and eccentric. Many of the men who have aided in making the worlds history were victims of epilepsy, as was Julius Caesar, military leader, statesman and au- thor. Many men of genius have suffered from spasmodic and choreic movements, notably Lenau, Montesquieu, Buffon, Dr. Johnson, Santeuil, Thomas, Campbell, Napoleon and Socrates.
 Suicide, essentially symptom of men, tai disorder, has carried off many man of genius, including such immortals as Chatterton, Blount, Haydon, Give and David. Alcoholism and morphinism are now recognized as evidences of degenera- tion and have had as victims Coleridge Sheridan, Steele, Addison, Hoffman, Charles Lamb, Burns and many others In men of genius the moral sense is some times obtunded or absent. Sallust, Seneca and Bacon were suspected felons; Rous- seau, Byron, Forcola and Caresa were grossly immoral, while Casanova, the gift ed mathematician, was a common swin- dler. London Public Opinion

A BOOMING YOUNG CITY.

Not everybody knows that a
booming young city is coming to
the front out forty miles north of
Texarkana, on the Texarkana & TT.
Smith railroad, but it is a fact new
erthless.
Winthrop is the name of this city,
and, in view of its fine location, at
the soon to-be terminus of one rail-
road, and the principal inland town
on another, its fame is not surpris-
ing. The Texarkana & Fort Smith
road will soon be completed to it,
and branch railroad will be built
out to Rocky Comfort This will
give it two railroads.
Winthrop is located on a beauti-
full, high plateau, midway between
the Red and Little rivers, with no
city of consequence nearer than
Texarkana, and being only six
miles from the Indian Territory,
may hope for big trade from this
fertile region.
A splendid opportunity is now
afforded investors, as well as per
sons seeking a desirable location for
for a new home, The following
persons have bought lots, within
the past few days NJ. H. Bales

Now is the time to invest, as

Why Trial Follows Admission of Guilt
in the United States Court.

The manner of procedurei in the trial OF crlml-
nal cases in the United States court is a mystery
to many and certainly does seem strange to one
not familiar with the reasons of it. The wonder
is that after man has signed an admission OF
guilt he will refuse to plead guilty, require.that
a jury be impaneled and that his admission be
read in testimony against him. The eXplana-
ton is in the fact that the United States dis
trct attorneys office is fee office. and that his
compensation for plea of guilty is only fifteen
dollars, while for conviction he receives twen-
ty-five dollars. This causes him to get the
signed admissions of guilt, to impanel jury,
have admissions read before it, secure verdict
of guilty by the direction of the court. and con-
sequently..credit Eforl. conviction q. Oftentimes
from thirty to forty cases will be disposed of in
this manner by the same jury in the course OF
couple of hours time without the jurors leaving
the jury box the foreman simply signing the
verdicts and the others asserting to them.-

Nobility in Stripes.

An uncle of the present Lord Brabourne was
hung in Australia not for one murder, but for
about dozen OffenSeS of that character.
At the present moment two Italian dukes OF
Viarosa are serving time in the great Italian
pententiary of La Magdalena for a peculiarly
cowardly murder.
Then there is Count Schleinitz, who is doing
time in Germany for Matchmaking, and as l
stated the other day, Count de Molen in France,
who has just completed term OF servltude tor
attempted murder.
So it is in almost every country where titles
and aristocracy exist. large percentage OF
the long-term convicts in Siberia bear the title
of prince or baron, and it was only few weeks
ago that we read of the eldest son of an English
peer, and the heir to the title, confessng in open
court that he had forged the name of his mother
to a promissory note. This only goes to show
that there is no family, no matter how high in
rank. that does not have its domestic skeletons
and black sheep.-LOndon Letter.

Women as Jurors.

Chief Justice Howe, of Wyoming, had nothing
to do with the enactment of the law under which
women in that state enjoy the privilege of suf-
frage and are eligible for jury duty. But now
that the law is in force he intends that it shall
have trial on its merits. He is the first judge
who has opened court with women jurors, and
he says:
with all my prejudice against the policy, am
under conscientious obligation to say these
woman acquitted themselves with such dignity,
decOrum, propriety of conduct and intelligence
as to win the admiration of every citizen of WyO-
ming. They were careful, painstaking, intelli-
gent and conscientious. They were firm and
resolute for the right as established by the law
and the testimony. Their lverdcts were right.
and after three or four criminal trials. the law
yers engaged in defending persons accused of
crime began to avail themselves of the right of
peremptOry challenge to get rid of the female
Jurors who were.toO much in favor of enforcing
the laws and Furnishing crime to suit the interests
of their clients
There is one thing to be taken into consider
alton in connection with this Endorsement of
women jurors by Judge Howe, and that is that
the cases which were tried seem to have been
mostly prosecutions by the state against gamb-
lers, and keepers of dance houses and other low
resorts. During the previous experience of the
Judge. it has been difficult to get juries in WyO-
ming that would stand for a strict enforcement
of the laws against these classes of offenders.
The natural impulses of women jurors make
them relentlessly just in such cases as these.
Whether they would be equally keen and equi-
table in all cases remains to be seen. They
might get tangled in maritime and business law.

measured by the cost Of its production or by its
value to the consumer. We are talking about
an American, metropolitan, daily paper Of the

of progress to be without it. There are other
papers possibly as good, but none better, and
none just like it. 1t prints all the real news Of
the world-the news you care tor-eUery day,
and prints it in the shortest possible space. You
can read THE CHICAGO RECORD and do days

all political news free from the faint of party
bias. In word-jts complete, condensed,
clean, honest family newspaper, and it has the
largest morning circulation in Chicago or the
