rr1u LAW OF sELF-DEFENsE.

Reversing the rulings of Judge Parker,
in tbe limited States court for the West
ern district of Arkansas, in which a
young man had been convicted and sent
enced to eight years Imprisonment ior
having dealt a fatal blow to broth-ln-
law who had come upon his premises Win
two other brothers-in-law to claim COW,
and who was about to draw a revolver
when struck over the head, the supreme
court of the United States has ordered a
retrial of the case. The decision is I'M.
portant as setting forth the higher law OF
the land on the question OF seiI-uelehse'
The supreme court said:
"TIhe defendant was where he had a
right to be when the deceased advanced
mon him in threatening manner and
with a deadly weapon; and If the accused
did not provoke the assault, and nau ut
the time reasonable grounds to beheve'
and in good faith believed, that the de-
ceased intended to take his life or to 90
him great bodily harm, he was not oDllged
To retreat nor to consider whether he could
safely retreat, but was entitled to stand
his ground and meet any attack made
upon him with a deadly weapon IN sucn
way and with such force as under al
circumstances he had at the moment non
estlv believed, and had reasonable grounds
to believe, was necessary to save MS own
life or to protect himself from great bod
lily injury"
During the trial of the case Judge
Parker, in his instructions to the Jury y as
tLa defendant was compelled by that
i iaS " %to avoid danger by getting out of
the way if he could; that the only place e
where he need not retreat further err was as
-; 5r,oIl;no bouse" IT is difficult to
understand how the district court could
have given such narrow construction
to the principle in Question Its at bense
and "premises" has been brushed aside
by byT the Supreme supreme court as mere triyiaIityy;
the law by the higher tribunal wlli com Snn
mend itself even to the lay mind as nav nav
ing been grounded on common sense, ana
as having been duly deferential to the
first law of nature which makes the pre-
servation of life one of the natural and
instructive rights of man.-Philadelphla

plicationS have steadily poured in with
increasing numbers. The doctor has in
his employ number of expert physi-

applies to him receives the same careful

Every symptom and popularity of her

plainly worded advice given accordingly.
Still there is room for more. Any woman

nothing, yet it takes large sum of money

New York, June 16.-Tomorrow, amid
the booming of cannon, firing of salutes
and the cheering of thousands, the Har-

Governor Morton and staff, the mayors
of New York and Brooklyn and other
cities will take part.

will boom forth salutes. AS the first sa-
lutte is fired, two barrels of fresh water
one from Lake Champlain and the other
from Lake Superior-will be emptied into
the salt water of the canal under the
bridges that span the Harlem and pass
under the Madison avenue bridge, where
it will meet the land parade, which by

THE COTTON ACREAGE.

A prominent cotton exchange few days
ago reported as result of special invests
CATION that the acreage in cotton TINS
season would be 17,55S,000 acres, which
was decrease of 13 IL per cent from its
report of the acreage for 1894. The New
York Financial Chronicle last week gave
an estimate of 17,767, 1858 acres, or 1l.6
Der cent less than the 20, LOT ,247 acres
which it had announced as the acreage OF
the previous year. The federal depart
ment of agriculture in its June report
estimates decrease of 14.S per cent, but
not from the totals given by the private
investigators. The government reductions
are made from an estimated acreage OF
%. 6S7, $50 acres. which it made public
a month ago; so that it would appear from
the federal data that the acreage in cot
ton during the present season is approx
mately 20, 1872 900 acres. This is about as
great as the average starting point totals
of the private crop reports. Manitestly

opinion of the probable outturn of cotton

A MURDER MYSTERY.

Brooklyn, June 1S.-The remains Of
Charles w. Henry, who was found muir.
dered in his home on South Portland ave-
nue. last Friday, were buried today. The
fadt has been brought out that the letter
produced by the dead mans son, Walter,
in which the father had written of quar-
rel with the other son, William, and
threats that the latter had made against
his life, was not received through the
postoffice, and is now said to have been
handed by the father to his favored SOD
at the old mans home two days before
the murder was committed. Although
the house of the murdered man has been
carefully searched and nearly $4,000 irs
cash and securities found, no trace OF y
will has been discovered and 1T is Thought
the securing of the document, IL it exist
ed, may have been the incentive for the
commission of the crime. Not one OF the
neighbors believe that William Henry is
guilty of the murder of his father.

THE LAST RITES.
EThe Funeral Services of Mr.. Bert Sea-
right Last Afternoon.

Last afternoon at 4;3O o'clock the funer-
al services of Mr.. Bert Starlight were con-
Quoted from the family residence, the
Rev. e. B. Wright officiating. Hundreds
of friends and acquaintance Of the fam
lily were in attendance to pay the last
tribute to the dead and extend the hand
in sympathy to those sad hearted and
sorrowing relatives who were enduring
with all the fOrtitude possible the trials
of that sad hour that rends heart strings
as though they were of fibre.
DIR. Wright, in brief talk, paid beau
tiful tribute to the dead, eXtolling his
many virtues and manly traits, and eX-
tended those scriptural words of comfort
to the weeping relatives that eased in a
measure their sorrow. In addition to the
large cortege of sorrowing friends who
followed the remains to the cemetery the
Governors Guard acted as an escort to
the remains. Mr.. Searight was an hon
ored member of that company, and the
company, As strong, marched with his
remains to their last resting place and
witnessed with Borrowing hearts the in
terment of one of their truest and most
loyal members. Eight of the company,
as follows, acted as pail hearers and
walked beside the hearse: Messrs. w.
