\ Story Of Charlea N,(nnnr.

At the closing of the St. Nicholas ho-
 tel in 1884 in answer to a question by
 the writer how he succeeded in saving
 the life of Colonel Lorlng in the mem-
 or3ble trial for murder committed at that hotel, Charles O'Conor gave the following account:
 After the trial had proceeded for some
 time the court was informed by the
 jury that one of their number was a relation of the prisoner, The court ad- journed the trial for consultation on a question so serious. MT. O'Conor, as TrisOner's counsel, consented to the withdrawal of the juror and stipulated to proceed with eleven jurors. The
 point was doubted, but, on consent of the district attorney, the trial proceed ed with eleven jurors. The only wit- ness to the killing was the bootb1ack,
 who testified that on some disturbance being made by Graham in throwing out his boots. the prisoner angrily came from his room, and an alteration en- suing, with his sword cane stabbed Graham and worked about the weapon when in his body; and witness shortly informed prisoner that Graham was dead. What did he say when you told
 him this?" Answer-"No"' OConor-
 ''Is that the answer of one who mtend-
 ed to kill? Is it not the answer you
 would make if informed a friend you had just seen was dead?" Seeing the jury somewhat impressed by this view, and the change appearing in their faces, he so pressed the point that they found a verdict of manslaughter, The court imposed the heaviest penalty imprisonment for seven years.
 In MT O'Conors opinion, the greatest lawyer was not the man who knows
 the most law, but the one who sees at a glance the real questions involved; and he often declared that many cases were carried to the court of appeals without the lawyers on either side discovering
 the real legal principle which must gov ern the case.--W. Watson in North American Review.

The Orioin of Tobacc ,.

The Prophet was taking a stroll in the country when he saw a serpent stiff with cold lying on the ground. He compassionately took it up and warmed it in his bosom. When the serpent had recovered it said;
 Divine Prophet listen. I am now going to bite thea.'
 why pray?" inquired Mohammed,
 Because thy race psrsecutes mine and tries to stamp it out"
 But does not thy race, too. make per petual war against mine?" was the Prophets rejonder. How canst thou, besides, be so ungrateful and so soon forget that I saved thy life?"
 "There is no such thing as gratitude upon this earth,' replied the serpent, and if l were now to spare thee, either thou or another of thy race would kill me. By Allah, I shall bite thee"
 If thou has sworn by Allah, I will not cause thee to break thy voW," said the Prophet, holding his hand to the selpent's mouth The serpent bit him, but he sucked the wound with his lips and spat the venom on the ground And on that very spot there sprana up a plant which combines within it. self the venom of the serpent and the compassion of the Prophet. Men call this plant by the name of tobacco,- Conte Arabe.

7-s-77 YIEE NIYIt IpION

Without being unduly pessimsNc it can be admitted that the country is in a rather distressful condition. It is burdened with a tariff for deficit, an unsound financial system, a war scare, a Wall street panic and a flood of con- flictlng and more CT less useless gab. But courage, brethren and also sisters, There may be a way out of all our woes and dangers. After what has hap pened it would perhaps be q little pre- sumptuouS to expect that such a way will be found by our Democratic Presi- dent and his advisers, but the Lord may provide. He has provided in time past when it has seemed that the wrath and the folly of men were about to do ire parable damage to this Republic. Let US go on, therefore, courag geously and hopefully.

 lINOTIIEH NENS IEiE

The President has sent another mes sage to congress. He points out that i've are in the midst of another season of perpleXity caused by our dangerous and fatuous financial operations" and that there can be no safety until there is complete change in our financial system. He announces that until such a change can be made the executive branch of the government will do all it can to sustain the public credit and he asks congress not to take a recess until it has by legislative enactment or declaration done something not only to remind those apprehensive among our people that the resources of this gov ernment and a scrupulous regard for honest dealing afford a sure guarantee of unquestioned safety and soundness, but to reassure the world that with these factors and the patriotism of our citizens the ability and determinations of our nation to meet in any circum- stance every obligation it incurs do not admit of question.
 It is to be hoped that this message will do as much toward restoring con- fidence as the other has toward de- stroying it, but it probably will not IL is, however, timely and sensible.

THE SENITE,S -.CTION.

The action of the Senate in passing the Venezuelan commission bill without amendment will be generally approv- el. Senator Plat, of this State, put the matter right when he said there was no need of talking about g. proba- ble war, although the American peo- pie would not shun it if it was forced upon them. It made no matter what the Monroe doctrine was called. There was a. determination to maintain the American policy that no foreign power should exercise any new dominion over any country in this hemisphere or unjustly oppress any State. Any amendment made to the bill would be construed in England as a hesitation on the part Of the Senate to sustain the President. It is asserted on the other side of the water that this is d campaign trick. England must be dis abused of this. The American people were never more in earnest since the breaking out of the Revolution than they are now in their purpose to main tain this doctrine, vital to our national security and honor.
 This is the true state of the case. Some of ths w.se men say that the President has been foolish. Others who are not so wise don't know whether he has or has Uol bsea- But the great majority of the people feel that the Monroe doctrine is right and that the

- SOME ClfE4lIITY,

what happened in Wall street and elsewhere yesterday showed in a start ling way what war would mean. Since the Presidents message was delivered there has been a shrinkage in values in this country of at least $300 900 and some good judges put 1t as high as $l,- 900 OO0, ,000. And thsre is probably more to come before the war scare is over. Of course a part of this shrinkage is due to the fact that the scare finds the country in an unsound financial condi- ton. There is good reason to believe that the scare will be of short duration
 but it has already had terrible effect and may have worse. There is nothing to do but to take things as they come and remember that "there is no calam- ity which a great nation can invite which equals that which follows a su- pine submission to wrong and injustice, and the consequent loss of national self-respect and honor beneath which is shielded and defended a peoples safety and greatness This is pro- foundIy true, although there appears to be a doubt whether our national sslf- respect and honor are menaced in just the way the President thinks they are. If they are any money loss incurred in defending them is not worth consider

skirt are one of the more simple sorts Of trimming that designers are striving to persuade women to adopt. But, try hard as they can, with this and other devices, to overcome the plain skirts popularity, 1t still holds it's own.
 As the scene of trimming is still upon the bodice it is as desirable as ever to have a change of neck flxings. If these are selected well they will add much to the possible combinations in a small wardrobe. One of the most useful de- signs is a collar of satin yelled with chiffon. The collar is high and from it extend a lot of points of the satin. each point edged with frill of the chiffon as well as covered lightly with it. A little fur tail runs down the center of each point, and the top of the collar Is edged with fur. This little affair will make an addition to a fur coat, or t will go over 8 low cut gown, it will go on a cloth gown or with almost any rig the combination of the three things chiffon satin and fur, adapting it to all occasions. A little theatre bonnet should match this, and be a kind of tam of the satin with a band of the tails an outstanding pair of them and H pretty softening ofchiffon, the inevita- ble glistening buckle being added.

One end of the keg is removed and q number of nails driven through the slaves from the outside. The keen scented bear dives in for the honey, but he cannot back out again, and, handi- capped with the keg over his head, he falls an easy prey.

A bicycler in England who killed a man by running against him on the highway has lbeen sent to prison on con- viction of manslaughter for four months The New York Sun, on the suggestion of this incident, calls atten- tion to a fact that may not be known to many wheelmen. It says: Brewers wagons, and cable cars, and a great many wheelmen, have done a great deal to spread the idea that while pedestri- ans are supreme on the sidewalks, vehi- cles rule the roadway The truth is otherwise On the street, as well as on the sidewalk, the right of way belongs to the man afoot, and don't you forget it.

The result of the census taken the other day in Berlin has caused some surprise. It shows the total population of the German capital to be 1,674, 112 whereof 797, ,1S6 are males and 876926 fe- males. The estimate, based on the pe- riodical returns of births and deaths and of departures and arrivals, which in Prussia have to be reported to the police, had shown, as worked out on November 10, total population of l. 757,S9S. Moreover, the increase in the population during the last five years according to Mondays census, has been only per cent, as against 20 per cent. between 1885 and 1890, and IS per cent between 1880 and 1885. The explanation lies in the enormous growth of the sub- urbs as compared with Berlin proper.
