JOHN SHRIVER'S DILEMMA.
The Newspaper Correspondent Urged
to Plead There Was Nothing in 1t.

The Newspaper Correspondent Urged
to Plend There Was Nothing in 1t.
1t Is not getting funny for John
Shriver as the time approaches for his
trial, with the possibility that in the end
the Supreme Court will be called upon to
pass final judgment. In view of the re-
cent leaks about the court and the pre-
mature publication of several important
decisions of the court, it is possible that
the august tribunal will not look 1 pom
the plea of privilege in case where a
newspaper man refuses to tell where he
obtained information with any degree of
lenience. 1t is we'll known that the recent
leaks have caused great discontinue to
the judges. They feel that the court has
been outraged, and although they may not
make an investigation of the matter they
will not feel like condoning the offense of
the newspaper man and the brokers who
refused to answer questions to where
they obtained information, or as to such
transactions as were under inquiry.
The newspaper men are having consider
able fun with John, and the constant al
lCsons to the irritation which the JUS
tees of the court feel about the recent
leaks have tendency to suppress some
what the buoyancy that Mr.. ShriVer has
heretofore maintained He has already
been advised to put in a plea at the trial
something that the newspaper men have
an tne tine nalhtained) that what he
published was of no earthly use anyway
cut no figure in the investigation, and
that when finally the mysterious stranger,
upon whom hinged the whole gauzy tale,
put in an appearance, mis- story, over
which the investigating committee seemed
puzzled, vanished into thin air. This is
| the kind of advice that John is getting
| on all sides. 1t has been suggested that
his attorney read the article declare that
there was nothing in 1t and that subse-
quent events, shown by the record of the
investigation. SO proved it. In this case it
is claimed by Mr.. Shriver's friends that
jury would at once acquit him, and he
would never be compelled to face an angry
Supreme Court. which had been ruff1ed by
leaks of an important kind. OF course no
one can tell what John will do. He may
refuse the kindly advice that has been
proffered him on all sides. and prefer the
| notoriety, even accompanied by some in
convenience, rather than take a sure and
short cut out.

THE SAMOAN MINISTER.
A Man of Importance and the Leading
Laundry of the Island.

1--WE were strolling about one of the Sa-
moan Islands," said naval officer to q
representative CT The Star the other day,
looking about for something interesting.
We met many people who did not seem to
know anything and could not answer our
questions. Finally We found man who
seemed to appear better informed than the
others and had the appearance of being
man of some Importance. Though not
native he had no doubt, been long in the
islands, as his appearance indicated. He
wore parts of a German and parts of an
English uniform, and am not sure that he
did noG have some American clothes on.
''Ycu look like a man of some import
ance here, one of said. Perhaps you
can tell Gus something atcut the country We
wish to know
~ am a man of some Importance here
he replied. am minister of agriculture
and labor. If can give you any informal
ton will do so with pleasure
Well he answered a number Of inquiries
and then said: L see by your uniforms you
are Americans. / am always glad to meet
Americans; but that was not what l want
ed to speak to you about You will prob
ably be here for some time, and wanted
to tell you that my wife is a first-c!asS
laundress, and we would be glad to do the
washing for the officers of your ship. Lean
assure you that it will not be done better
by any one in the island. !"

HYPNOTIsM AS A DEFENSE.
Chief Justice Horton of Kansas Dis
sfpates n NIisapprehension.

sfpates n NIisnpprehensiOn.
In an interview recently, ut Topeka,
Kan, Chief Justice Horton of the Kansas
Supreme Court explains away the general
acceptation that the court had recognized
hypnotism as defensive plea In a murder
case. The facts in the ease are these:
A man named Gray procured gun and
melted man named Mcdonald to kill one
Patton. Gray made Mcdonald believe that
Patton was traducing the character of Mrs.
Mcdonald. Mcdonald, who did the killing,
was acquitted. Gray was convicted in the
lower court and tine supreme court affirmed
the decision. The case will be known far
and wide as the hypnotic case"
Judge Horton says: 1.-THE Mcdonald case
was not presented to the supreme court. If
it had been, and the same evidence pre-
sented to us against Gray had been pre-
scnted against Mcdonald. the supreme court.
had it the power, would have ruled for
MeDcaald's convictiont The acquittal of
Mcdonald seems to have been miscar-
risge of Justice.

T Simpson bring daiiF' to this market fresh vegetables that cannot he sur. passed in the world. Vegetables that arc shipped from distance arc not to be compared to those taken fresh from the garden, and people act unwisely when they patronize others than our owd gardeners.
 This morning Mir. Merlo showed the GRAPHIC reporter n collector of as fine vegetable as he ever saw. The vegetables consisted of parsley. parsnips, carrots, radishes, onions, mustard, winter green, turnips. eale, oyster plants. sweet and Irish pota- toes, spinage, etc. Mr. Merlo is ex- tremely reasonable in his charges ana he shonla always he literally paironized.

CONGRESSIONAL CONTESTS.

,peaker Reed Will Appoint Two Commit
 tees to Consider Them.
 In view of the unusually large num- Der of contested election cases to be passed upon by the house of representa- tives Speaker Reed has decided to ap- point two committees to consider them. This is the first time in the history of congress that the number of contests reached the remarkably high figure of 82. Ill the last congress there were somewhat more than dozen, and some of them were not disposed of until near the close of the congress. The commit tees on elections will be among the first appointed and will be instructed to go to work and bring in their reports without delay. It is the intention to have all the contests disposed of during tho first session of the present congress.
 In all the contests there is but one in which a colored man is a cont< tant. That is the case of Murray versus Elliott, from the Charleston district Murray was tho only colored member of the last congress, and he hopes to be able to unseat Representative Elliott in his pending contest. Many of the contest. ants make the fight for the $2, 500 ex- penses allowed to contestants, providing they are unsuccessful, and 1t sometimes occurs that the expenses of contest arc not half that amount, but the contest mt is thrifty enough to put in bill for the entire amount New York Sun.

How do love thee9 tiny drop Of rain splashed down on the mountain top One April day. Then it joined two more And they trielSled over the tufted floor, Gathering strength as they raced down hill, When, lol from their union there sprang riil That cadenced quick to the musical breeze That played with the leaves of the lofty trees And then as its wandering way it took The Till grew strongand became brook And the brook danced on, and the sunheams
 bright
 Made sport as they played ill it's mellow light While the dimpling pebbles were filled with glee And nWlged each other necessarily. But the hastening stream bid them all goodby And flowed down, down meath the changing
 sky
 And grew to a river broad and deep. With stately stride and godlilse sweep. And the sun burned down, but the river flowed, Too strong to care how the hot orb glowed. Flowed out to the deep and the changeless sea- And this, dear heart, is my love for thee.
