JABEz BALFoUR's TRIAL.
Bu Gable to the United Press.

LONDON, Nov. 3D. 1S95.-The trial of
Jabez Spencer Balfour, accused of frauds in
connection with the Liberator Building and
Loan Society and other similar organiza-
tions,. was resumed this morning with the
opening for the defence, Balfour's lawyer
making an Ingenious attempt to mitigate the
effect of his clien's absconding to South AmT
erica On behalf of Balfour he made an
apology for the defendants having left the
country. It was very foolish move, but he
only did so upon the advice of prominent
city financiers. Balfour, he said, was now
a broken and ruined man, deserving of smy-
pathy rather than condemnation.

'sSt. James Gazctte,, Thinks He Must
Come to New York At Once.

LONDON, Nov 1S, 1Ss5.-The ,''st.
James Gazette which is read largely by
society people and clubmen, published a
long letter today under the caption:
SHOULD Lord Dunraven Apologize?" The
article begins by saying
English commenters upon Lord Dun
ravens statement hardly seem to unifer-
stand the justffiable Indignation that
this noble sportsman's allegations have
aroused in America" and adds the dec
laration that, Lord Dunraven must go
to New York and assist the Cup Com
mittee of the New York Yacht Club In a
thorough inquiry. If the accusations are
not proved, the accuser will owe Mr.. Ise-
lin and the other gentlemen a very hand
some apology, but if Lord Dunrayen,
having shot a poisoned arrow quietly
most people will think that temper and
spite have betrayed him into behaving
rather badly"

Police They Were in Her House.
A tall dignifed woman in deep mourning
created scene at police headquarters, Ho-
boken, this morning. She entered the pa
trolmen's room in an excited condition and
asked to see Captain Rathjen. Upon being
told that there was Sergeant Rathjen she
said he would do.
When the Sergeant appeared the woman
said:-"I want you and the Mayor OF the
city to remove the machinery from my
house. and unless you dispose of it at once
l shall tell why you had it put there"
The sergeant took the excited lady to Chief
Donovan, whose eyes flashed when he
realized that Rathjen had gotten rid of the
woman by taking her to him.
Failing to calm her, he had an officer es-
cort her to the street. She said she was

The Opening of the schools.

fne public schools Of Chatham county
open to-day with the prospect Of a very
satisfactory school year. A pleasant
change IN the weather came Sunday
night, and while We may reasonably ex-
pect some warm days this monrn. II can
be safely assumed that the summer is
past. and that from now on until sum
mer comes again we shall have no such
temperature as will make a few hours
in the school room a serious hardship for
the children.
Many OF the children and most Of the
teachers have passed the vacation away
from the city. and they come back 10
their tasks refreshed and invigorated,
and are anxious doubtless to make the
years work fruitful of good results.
savannah's public schools have an en-
viable reputation throughout the state.
Still, We are not sure that the school
commissioners, superintendent and
teachers do not see where improvements
could be made. 1t is a difficult matter.
however. to do all that needs to be done
at once. For lack of means and other
reasons changes for the better have to
be made slowly.
1t goes without saying that the people
are profoundly interested in the public
schools. It is but natural that they
should be, and they keep close watch
upon them. Because they do not say
much about the schools it doesn't follow
that they are not fully acquainted with
the policies in accordance with which
they are conducted or with whatever
shortcomings there may be in their man
agement.
The purpose of the school commission
ers should be, and doubtless is, to give
Chatham county the best schools posi-
BILE for the money they have at their dis
posal. AS long as they accomplish that
purpose they will have the approval and
support Of the public.

why scott woula Nor s,0n

1t is stated in the World that the reason
that the Southern Railway and Steamship
Association failed to reach an agreement
at its meeting at Hotel Waldorf, New York,
last Saturday, is that Thomas X. Scott.
the manager of the Georgia railroad. re-
fused to enter the association, on the
ground that its members make agreements
and then violate them openly. He is also
reported to have said that a committee
representing the association had assured
him that if his road would join the asso-
citation it need not live up to the agree
ment.
Assuming that the foregoing statements,
attributed to Mr.. Scott, are true, he has
excellent reasons for not joining the as
sociation. What folly it is for great rail-
road corporations to enter into a solemn
agreement to abide by certain schedule
of rates and then both secretly and openly
violate that agreement What's the good
of such an agreement? What purpose
does it serve? Is 1t intended simply to get
the better of the roads of the association
that respect the agreement? If that is
not the purpose what is 1t?
1t has been quite difficult heretofore to
keep the association together, because of
the belief of some of the members of the
association that other members were get
ting business that did not legitimately be-
long to them by cutting rates or allowing
rebates. 1t was far from an easy task
to prove that the belief rested upon a sub
stantial foundation, because the suspected
members always Indignantly denied that
they had acted in bad faith
Mr.. Scott makes the charge that they dc
act in bad faith, and, according to the
Worlds report. he stated that they have
no other Intention than to act in bad
faith. His charges ought to be thorough,
ly investigated, because, il they are true
they offer an excellent reason why he
should not make his road a part of the
association. He doesn't want to appear
before the public as being bound IL
honor to charge certain traffic rate
when, as a matter of fact, he is accepting
an altogether different rate.
If what Mr. Scott Says is correct, tn,
public would like to know why the South
ern RAILROADS and steamship lines desire
an association. 1t costs a good deal OF
money to support it. and yet, according
to Mr.. Scott, its members violate tn,
agreement which holds it together when.
/ ever they think it is to their interest te
| do so.

BostOn's standard of Means of SUP
port.

A School street lawyer, according IN
the Boston Globe, tells the folloWine
story as characteristic of the late JUDGE
McCafferty:
Among the cases before him one morn
ing was one in which a rather seedv-looE
ing fellow was billed for vagrancV. The
officer who made the arrest, and who was
the principal witness, was one of those
officials who never speak a good word of
a prisoner. He testified in substance that
he had seen the man loafing around for
several days, and, as far as he knew.
had no visible means of support
Was this man searched when arrest
ed?" asked the court, nodding his head
in the direction of the man in the dock.
Il searched him, your honor" replied
the officer, promptly.
Did you find any money about his per
son?''
The officer looked at the Judge somewhat
confusedly, and then. after a few mo-
ments of thought, replied, rather lightly.
Yes, your honor, 10 cents''
can you buy plate of beans for 10
cents?"
The officer, thinking his honor was
about to crack joke laughingly re-
sponded:
'FWhy, yes. of course"
''Then, sir" and the Judge spoke Sc
verely, understand from me that a man
who has money enough to buy a plate
of beans is not a vagrant Understand
further, sir, that as long as I am a ms
tice in this court, 1 never again want to
see you bring a man before me on a
charge of vagrancy who has 10 cents in
his pocket. Mr.. Clerk, discharge the pris-
oner.''
