The observations Emerson had made of
English life during his two visits had been
used in various lectures and from these he
made a book, published in 1856, under the
title of English Traits" For close argu-
ment be had no fitness and no liking, but
this volume has more logical sequence
than any other of his It may be said al
most to have plan. 1t opens with mar
rative of his first voyage to England, and
it contains a study of the character of the
British 1t is perhaps the best book ever
written about great people by foreigner.
Emerson had a singularly keen sense of
the ridiculous, he had an uncommon share
Of common sense, and he had marvellous
insight into humanity, and it is therefore
the highest possible testimony to the sub
stantial merits of the British that they
stood so well the ordeal of his examination.
He was too sturdy an American to be
taken in by the glamour Of the aristocratic
arrangement of their society. He saw
clearly the weakness of the British system,
but he is never hostile and never patroniz-
ing. He is always ready to praise boldly.
The spirit of the book can be shown by
tho extract from letter he wrote to q
friend in America just before his return,
Il leave England with an increased re-
spect for the Englishman, the more gener-
Gus that 1 have no sympathy for him"
Emerson expressed his admiration heart
lily, but he rejoiced always that he lived in
a society free from the traditions of feud-
alism Brander Matthews in

HILL DEFEATED
In His Fight Against the In

The Senate Votes Down His
Amendment.
TIL BILL p SIS ES
Carrying an Appropriation for
Collecting the Tax.
THE BILL PASSES

WASHINGTON, Jan. 17.-After de-
bate, covering a week, the senate yes
terday voted down by vote of 40 to
5 Mr. Hills proposition to refer the
legality of the income tax to the
courts, only five senators joining with
Mr.. Hill in supporting the PROPOSE
ton. But the vote was not taken
until late in the day, and up to that
time there was a spirited ebate that
the Hill proposition called out. Mr.
Vest was the principal speaker of the
day. In the course of his speech Mr.
Vest called attention to the gravity
of the tariff war which foreign coun-
tries had begun against the United
States as a result of the one tenth
sugar differential.
Although Mr. Hill failed in refer
ring the income tax to the courts, he
secured the adoption OF an important
amendment limiting the interroga-
tories of the officers see king to collect
the tax. The amendment viii have
the effect of compelling the treasury
department to change its regulations
as to collecting the income tax.
Mr.. Lodges effort to have income
tax officials placed under civil service
rules was defeated. The income tax
appropriation was then agreed to
and the deficiency appropriation bi IL
passed. Mr. AIdrich secured the
passage of a resolution calling on the
president for information as to the
negotiations with Germany in regard
to the tariff and retaliation.

A Whole Jury Declines to Obey the
Order of q Judge
CHICAGO, Jan. 17.-Never has a
United States court in Chicago been
the witness of such a scene as oc-
Cured in Judge Seaman's court yes
terday. An entire jury rebelled
against the order of the judge,
and, although eleven of the
jurors afterwards submitted to
the directions of the court,
one juror, julius Clayton, refused
even under protest to obey the court.
With a long imprisonment staring
him in the face for contempt of court.
he was firm, and at the close of the
day scored a virtual victory over the
judge. The case was one for dam
ages against a railroad by a woman
who was run over and had both lie gs
cut off, and the judge instructed the
jury to bring in a verdict of non-suit.
Judge Seaman explained to the
jury that they were not judges of
law, and that the responsibility for
the verdict was on him alone. Final-
ly all the jurors except Clayton
agreed to render the verdict ordered
by the court. The matter was argued
at length by the judge and jury. each
maintaining his position in a vigorous
but manly and dignified manner.
The case was finally dismissed on
the stipulation that the order of dis
missal should be equivalent to the
re ndering of a verdict by the jury,
upon the order of the court, and
under protest of the jury. The jury
was anxious to render a verdict OF
S24, 900 for the woman.

SANTA FE, N. NJ, Jan 17.-There is
a striking resem blance between the
prisoner supposed to be Bill Cook, the
Oklahoma outlaw, and Frank James,
the Missouri ex- bandit. The prisoner
is a mild hammered young fellow,
very unlike the descriptions of Bill
Cook. He does not deny his name is
Bill Cook, but the genuine Bill Cook
is described as half breed, possessing
negro or Choctaw blood.

persons suffering from nervous troubles, such
as sick and nervous headache, nervousness,
commissions, neuralgi9 apoplexy, dyspepsia,
sleeplessness, paralysis, nervous prostration,
epilepsy, etc. The outlook would certainly
be discouraging for you were there no means
of escape. Any of the above difficulties,
and many more, are advance symptoms Of
insanity or meother equally deplorablecons
