CAUTION TO JURORS.
Judge Morrow of the Federal District
Court Admonishes Them to OBJ
serve Reticence.

serve Reticence.
United States District Judge Morrow
will have no repetition of the offense for
which Grand Juror mmerhayes was sent
to jail if it can be avoided. When the
venire of trial jurymen appeared in court
yesterday morning he gave them some
plain written instructions, which speak for
themselves, as follows:
You, and each of you, are hereby admon-
lshed, ordered and commanded not TO converse
among yourselves or with any person, or suffer
concerning any subject connected with the
trial of any case on the calendar of this court,
or with respect to any case that may be tried at
the present term.
This order does not, of course, apply to pro-
ceedings in open court, where, for example,
you may be lawfully interrogated by the court
or counsel as to your qualifications to serve as
a juror in any case but, aside from such open
and regular communications connected with
well recognized proceeding in court, your lips
are absolutely sealed, and must so remain
until your service as a juror in this court has
been completed.
Should any person approach you in any
manner in relation TO any case on the calen-
dar of this court, or with respect to any case
| ent term it is your duty and you are hereby
| commanded, to Immediately report such fact to
the court. Disobedence of these admonitions,
| orders and commands will be deemed con-
| tempt of court, and will subject the offending
juror to be summarily punished for such dis
| obedience.
In conclusion the Judge said his instruc-
tions were applicable to all others having
any connection with juries in his court.

of bloodcurdling tragedy was deter
mined and successful effort of the audience
to hear Miss Cad Wilson sing and see hel
gyrate with profusion of filmy skirts
Her specialties were introduced after the
third act, and just after Henri Du Bois
who personated Durrant, had choked tc
death, in the midst of much screaming
and racket, his first victim. The audience
wanted more; that is, more of Miss Viii:
sons singing of songs, and could only be
quieted by another verse and another
flourish of her abbreviated skirts.
Pietro Sosso, the young man who under
took to be the demon of the belfry," sue
ceeded in making himself fairly good
likeness of Durrant, but, contrary to ex-
pectation, he ard his "demon" conduct
were received with occasional applause, in
recognition, doubtless, OF his cleverness as
an actor. He undoubtedly tried hard to
make himself a great villain, in speech,
look and action. His first appearance on
the stage was followed by clapping OF
hands and vigorous stamping of feet.
There was no demonstration indicating
that the demon" was abhorred or was
other than an amateur actor.
The play cannot be considered seriously
at all. 1t is a tumble of bloodthirsty soliIo-
quies of the demon" with occasional
lapses into remorseful state of mind, in
congruous associations, a full-hedged
image of his Satanic majesty, according to
time-honored tradition, and an evil

little else than deliver speeches of
undoubtedly orthodox sentiments. In

the "demon of the belfry,'' the spirit of
the mother, clothed in irreproachable
white, appeared in an upper story
of the scenery and the audience
greeted her and the prayerful girl
with almost vociferous laughter.
Satan, who was personated by Edwin L..
LLOYD, appeared frequently, and with
enough red fire to make, it was probably
hoped, the blood Of the audience run cold,
but he was received with laughter and cat
calls from the lrrepressible small boy. The
devil was failure, and his majesty at one
time appeared to laugh when he endeav-
ored hardest to inspire awe.
Isl Plunkett," gentleman from the
country, was made the most effective
character of the play by David Rivers:
Next to the singing of Miss Wilson and
the boxing bout, he carried off the honors
of the evening
In the concluding act the two villainous
'body-snatchers' forgot then calling long
enough to moralize and conclude to join
the Salvation Army, and everybody ap'

down on the stage and dies, thus cheating

Then the curtain dropped and the people
went out. Judging from the remarks
made the play was farce and of no con-

started during the Midwinter Fair by the
German colony. The accounts of the fair
last evening showed the expenses to have
been about $4,000, and the total receipts
run up to about $4,000. Last evening
President Bundschu, in expressing his
pleasure at the success of the venture, said ::
It is to the active workers that the credit of
TINS success Is due. NJ. kollmann, the secretary,
and M. Berghein, the recording secretary,
have worked day and night We must also
give the credit that is due to the ladies, who
gave up their time and labored in the
restaurants and had no part in the festivities.
There are the members of the St. Marcus

OF Mrs; Ludemann; the ladies of
the William liam Tell booth, under the

ice cream booth, over which Mrs R. r.
Melnecke presided; the Ladies of the Red

FRANCISCO Schuetzen under Mrs. w. Harris.
10 these and their assistants is due the success
OF the festival, as well as to those who have
previously been mentioned.
= The entertainment last evening con-
sisted of all the most attractive features

the Durrant murders, and the production
OF which was enjoined by the court pre-

evening at the Auditorium, with auxiliary
attractions in the shape of songs, dancing,
boxing bout and coarse comedy. The
house was fairly well filed with people of
both sexes and of all ages and conditions.

The Grand Jury Considers a
Criminal Libel Charge Against
Two Lawyers.

neutrality-suspicious. King
Gets Hearing.

The Grand Jury held regular session
yesterday afternoon and was guided in its
deliberations by Assistant District Attor-
ney Black.
The first case considered was the charge
of criminal libel preferred by Police Judge
Charles A. Low against Attorneys Dona-
hue and Keyes. The first witness called
was James McMullen, city editor of THE
CALL. He was followed by the attorneys
named and then consultation was held
between District Attorney Black and
Judge Low. The Judge was asked
whether he would be satisfied if the ac-
cused attorneys should make a public
acknowledgment retracting the charges
against the court, and the Judge replied
in the affirmative, saying that he was not
vindictlve.
When the statement was published i'm :
plying that Judge Low had an interest in
transferring a sum of money coming to
the Johnson family to the Society for the
Prevention OF Cruelty to Children he went
before the Grand Jury and explained that
the suggestion was made in open court
He believed that the money if not trans
ferred would be squandered for liquor, and
the children, whose parents had been ar
rested for cruelty. would be neglected in
the future as In the past.
| Judge Low told the jury that if the
charges against him were true he should be
indicted and removed from office; if thew
were false the lawyers who made them
should be indicted. Judge Low i. deter
mined that the vindication shall be as
open as the accusation.
The jury made a partial report TO Judge
Sanderson, handing in an Indictment for
robbery against Spider Kelly. the pugil-
lst, and J. Sullivan. This is the case that
Offlcer Crockett has been working on for
| several weeks. Severe pressure was brought
to bear to prevent an indictment. The
man robbed was Bassil Owen and the
amount of his loss was ST. but he received
smash in the eye from one of the men
concerned in the alleged robbery.
An arrest was made and the case taken
to Police Judge CampbelIs court and there
dismissed.
Jabez S. Swan, ex-member of the State
Board of Equalization, became indignant
when so many of his signs were ordered
removed, and rushed to the conclusion
that he was being personally prosecuted
and fancled that his prosecutor was Marion
Leventritt of the Grand Jury. 1t is trne
that Leventritt was once in the sign post-
ing business and had reason to regard
Swan as rival, and therefore the latter
reasoned that Leventritt was the SIGN.

TIN PLATE FIGURES.

According to the Iron Age, within
the next six months there Will be in
operation in this country total OF 1876
tin plate foctories, having a possible
annual output of $3.50, 400 boxes, which
is more than the ordinary yearly con-
sumption of the United States. OF
these. 157 mills afe either built or are
in process of construction, and ar
rangements have been made to erect
within the next six months thirty-nine
additional mills.
Under the Mckinley law the duty
upon imported tin plates was 30
cents per pound, or on a percentage
basis the duty was IS per cent. ad valo-
rem. The present duty is 1 Is cents
per pound, or on a percentage basis AZ
per cent. ad valorem. Yet according
to the Iron Age. the advance in pro-
ductive industry under this low rate of
duty is wonderfully greater than 1t was
under the high Mckinley rate. IN
fact under the latter, not a pound OF
tin plate was put on the market, partly
because Of the insane policy OF taxing
the raw material of the industry. In
other words, if the present duty Of III
cents per pound is sufficient to stimu-
late industry to the extent that the
Iron Age states. then the duty of near
lv double that amount was, as the Reg
ister contended. a gross eXaggeratiOn
and an unwarranted imposition on the
American people.
The old duty. under the law of 1888
was one cent a pound or but one-fifth
of a cent lower than the present duty.
But. evidently because of the enervat-
ing effect of high protection, no effort
was made to manufacture tin plate, 1t
having simply been assumed that the
duty was not high enough-and, as it
was easy for combined capital to make
money in other branches under the Re
publican policy without effort. no man
ufacurer cared TO expend his energy
in trying TO make tin plate
The Iron Age asserts that this enor
nous increase in production, promised
within the next few months, will al
most certainly tend to severe compe-
tition. and hence it may be assumed
that the present price of tin plates,
which appears to be an active encour-
agement for a large number to enter
into the business, is not likely to be
maintained. But if the present price
is so high as to encourage by the
profits that it holds out an extraordi-
nary entrance of fresh capital into this
line of industry. it may be assumed
that the fear of foreign competition
that has been held out has been largely
a delusion. and it is by no means i'm
probable under such conditions that We
may before long export tin plates to
England, and sell them there in COM
petition with the Welsh makers. And,
apparently. this business might have
been entered into ten years ago, when
the duty was / cent a pound, just as
we'll as at the present time.
