Special dispatch to the Daily Eagle.
Topeka, Kan, Aug. 9.-Judge HaZen's
protest to the Prohibitionists against call
ing a special grand jury to prosecute
jointists is the leading topic OF interest
among politicians here.
Judge Hazen has issued the call for the
grand jury, but he does it against his
judgement and wishes. But the necessary
petition WAS presented and he had to fol-
low the law.
Probably the strongest portion of his
long protest is this:
"a grand jury should never, except in
cases of pressing necessity, be called dur
ing political campaign. During a heated
political campaign charges and counter
charges are made against the leaders Of
the different political parties and the action
and Conduct of men will be- brought before
the grand jury which would pass unnoticed
ut other times. It creates tribunal be-
fore which mems conduct is investigated,
not for the purpose OF vindicsuing the law
but for the purpose of making political
capital.
without a grand jury the response
bility OF enforcing the laws is with the
county attorney, but when a grand jury Is
called he is, to "A certain extent, relieved of
that responsibility. Without a grand
jury the county attorney is responsible to
the people OF the county for the Proper en-
:orcement Of the law, and be will doubt
less do his duty in that respect.
IF au Indictment returned by grand
jury Is found 10 be defective aud Is
quashed, no amendment can be made, but
the prosecution, in so far as the indict-
ment is concerned, is ended and the
prisoner is discharged But where an in
formation is flied by the county attorney
aud Is afterwards found to be defective, il
may be amended aud the defendant placed
on trial upon the amended information"
This is only one of the blows he gives
tha PrOhibitionists.
He repeatedly declares in his protest
that the PrOhi6itIouisJs have never ac-
complished any thing through grand juries
and adds:
Experience shows that the enforcement
of the prOhibitory law through grand
Juries in this county has been a failure.
The reason is obvious. A grand jury is
called, all persons violating the law are
advised OF the fact: they know when the
grand jury will convene and they govern
themselves accordingly. If they have been
the law aud their conduct is be-
ing investigated by the grand jury they
leave the stats and await de-
Ii they are Indicted. they re-
main away until matters can be nd just ed,
if not they return; and this is why no
more arrests are male upon indictments
ret urned by the grand juries."
Besides, he points out, grand jury, in
such cases, is a needless and expensive
luxury, costing the county 800 to S125 a
day.

CRAZED ENGINEERS.
Instances I'm which Unavoidable Accidents

The strange antics of crazy engi-
neer at Alton, Ill, recently suggest the
fact that insanity Is very frequent
among railway employees. Two dra-
matte illustrations may be mentioned.
There is living in New Jersey not far

phia Times, a man who for many years
was the foremost passenger engineer
between New York and Philadelphia
on the Pennsylvania railroad He ran
all the specials and best trains and in
ten years never had an accident One
night in the CLEAN Of the headlight he
saw woman. lie had only time To see
her hands raised and to hear her cry,
and before he could put his hand upon
the lever he felt Z jerk under the
wheels and knew that all was over.
Since that night he has never been on
an engine For months he did not sleep
and later became practically insane.

hearing the woman his engine killed.

THE SILENT CRANK.
Type That the Foreign Critic VIII Not
Be Able TO Understand.


There Is one type of American citi-
zen which it is certain no foreign critic
Will ever be able to understand. II
does not make much difference who
the critic may be, when he confronts
the type of silent and suffering base
ball crank he will be at sea. 1t Is a
type that IS familiar TO all the attend
ants at the ball games and to the many
men who are acquainted with the
world of sports. The bowling deryish
sort of crank is known to all men, but
the silent and suffering one usually
battles analysis. In the majority of in
stances he * man of mature wears,
who has secured an important place in
the financial or commercial world. His
passion for baseball IS a thing that
passes all understanding. lie is on
hand at the games whenever il Is pos
sible, but always takes n retiring and
unobtrusive seat where he sits with an
outward air Of boredom and indy
ference. but really suffering from
emotions that are violeutand tempestu-
olS. II isonly when he Erits his teeth,
drives his nails into the palms OF his
hands. or suddenly lets out blood
curdling scream that the spectator
gets any idea Of the emotions which
are aroused by the playing. At other
times the tremor OF his evelids or the
fierce fashion in which ne bites his lips
as he watches the game indicate how
closely he participates IN the fortunes
Of the home team.

FOREIGN GOSSIP.

An interesting chronological exhibit
ton has opened on the Champ de Mars,
Paris, consisting of a caravan of the
Chambaa tribe, men, women and chill
dren, with their animals and household
trappings, brought there by the ex-
plorer, NJ. Bruneau.
The Russian newspapers recently
spread the report that the ministries Of
agriculture and imperial lands intended
to employ women in the work of their
departments. The result was a mass
of petitions from women, and it took
denial in one G the official papers to
convince the ladies that they had dis
turbed themselves uselessly.
HANG -raised" canary birds, as the
little ones are called which are brought
up from the egg, make the best singers.
1t takes something less than eight
months before the birds get their sing
ing voice, and when taught trick or
two they sell readily at from ten dol
lars to twenty dollars. Campanini birds,
as the best singers are called, bring
fancy sums.
Havana is city of 100000 inhab-

more are called for to make the cele-
bration upon what the advisers deem

by levying a tax on mustaches. II is
estimated there are two million Bel
gians who would not part with their
mustaches for ten francs or TWO dol

of four million dollars year. But

CUNNING OF THE COYOTE.
Not Afraid to BE Near a Man Whom Hs
Knows to BE Unarmed.

Not Afraid to BE Near Man Whom Rs
Knows to BE Unarmed.
The barking habit of the coyote il
very doglike. and his old name of bark
ing wolf is very appropriate. When
collecting mammals in Wyoming, saws
writer in st. Nicholas, it was q very
common thing for us to hear the coy
otes around our camp set mp q great
barking in chorus at the first sign Of
daybreak, just when the roosters be-
gin to crow on the farm 1t is wild
and uncultivated kind of bark. ending
in falsetto howl, and resembles the
cry of the jackal of India more nearly
than any other sound l ever heard.
But Sir Coyote is cute. He knows ex-
actly The distance that constitutes fair
rifle range, and he knows just as well
whether the stranger is armed as does
the stranger himself When hunting
in the Shoshone mountains in 1859. l
wanted TO kill a coyote for a special
purpose, but never once succeeded in
getting a fair shot, even at two hum
dred yards. For ten days we banged
away industriously at every one we
saw, but never touched hair. Finally,
at Corbetts ranch left the expedition
and started north by stage, leaving be-
hind me rifle, revolver. knife and even
scissors. just two hours after I had
said good-by to my shooting irons and
taken the buck board stage" we saw
coyote ahead of us, close TO the trail.
Seeing us coming, he selected a soft
spot. sat down within thirty yards OF
the trail and waited for us. We drove
up, stopped as we got opposite him,
and still he did not run. That villain
rat there coolly without moving mus
Gle, but with a leer that plainly said:
Now, don't you wish you had your old
gum" When we got through making
faces at him and wishing for gun ora
revolver or even common stone To fire
at him, we drove on, and then he got
up and went hunting for jack rabbit.
To this day have been pulling over
the question: How did that crazy
rascal find out so quickly that both the
driver and were totally unarmed?"
That he did know il perfectly well
have no doubt whatever, for no coyote
ever waited like that for man with
gun.

GEORGE GOULD AND WALES.

CowEs. Isle of Wight, Aug. 9.-George
j. Gould and the prince of Wales have ar
ranged for a special match for next Mon
day between the BrittanaIa and the Vigil
liant for 100 pounds a side. The course IS
fifteen miles out from the needles and
back. The Vigilant's people say there IS
no truth in the report that she touched
ground today in Gumard bay. But on he
first round when the yachts were Invisible
from this place, the Vigllaut's forestays
top was carried away. and in the second
round the Vgilanr's spinnaker split.

mIshap, the Vigilant was certainly handi-
