Judge Piper erred in requiring the state
to alternate it's challenges with the de-
Tense, the latter having twice as many
as the prosecution.
The other point on which Piper was
overruled was his instruction to the
jury that they could not convict unless
they should find that the violation Of
the statute was made with intent to de-
fraud the county.
The case Of J. III. Gaffney VS.. Judge
Piper was also decided. The Genesee

Piper refused to appoint him. however,

The express provisions Of the statute

creditors as established by law. The

Swank general manager Of the Ameri-

Spouse to request from the Associated
Press for statement regarding the ru-
mored combination of steel companies
said today:
II have no definite information about
pooling arrangement. but any ar
rangement among the manufacturers is
justitiable that secures a fair reward
for capital and labor, and does not un-
fairly advance prices. There is no dan
ger that prices will thus be advanced.
Our iron and steel manufacturers have
never yet taken undue advantage of
their customers. It is not for their in
terests to do this, and they will not do
SO now. but they ought not to be expect
ed to continue the ruinous policy of
giving their products away and thus
inviting additional financial disaster for
themselves and others

THE CoMMANDANT AND
Sketches of Two People Of World
Wide Fame.

Wide Fame.
Some Of Ballington Booths admirers
are unkind enough to insnuate that the
Booth fuckers are tired of their wan
dering life, and have been scheming to
get the American command. Great
things are expected of Mrs. Booth
Tucker, and she is the beauty of the
Booth family. She is as tall as her
brother Ballington, who is six-footer.
Her features are regular, and, though
strong in every lineament, no one is so
prominent as to be out of proportion.
Her complexion is soft and clear. She
has the robust, aggressive air of thor
oughly healthy Englishwoman AS a
platform and drawing room speaker she
is said to be incompara BILE. She has no
equal anywhere, outside of America,
anyway. There will be many, of course
who will hold that she is not as power
full as Mrs. Darlington Booth, but
comparison will be hard to make, be-
cause Mrs. Ballington Booths most sue
cessful public appearances have had to
do with the raising Of money for the
army. Mrs. Emma goes more for soul
saving. That is her especial forte.
Mrs Booth-Tucker is only about 81
years old. She has been married II
years and has five children. One of these
is not yet two months old, and 1t is be-
cause Of Mrs. Booth-Tucker's condition
that the trip to America was delayed.
Four of the children are her own. The
other is a little boy that she adopted a
few years ago. Mrs. Booth-Tucker has
always been fond OF children. She has
rescued and raised scores Of them, some
of whom are officers in the Salvation
Army today. Mrs. Booth-Tucker began
work for the Salvation Army almost be-
fore she could talk. She was conse-
Grated to the cause soon after birth.
and has always been in the work. AS
a girl of is she was placed in charge of
the training home. and remained in
that place until she married Commits
sioner Tucker. She was then 20 years
old. She went to India with Commits

MARKING FRANKLIN's HOUSE.
4 commemorative tablet has just been fast
ened to the walls OF the house In the Rue Singer
at Passy which, toward the latter portion Of the
last century, was occupied by Benjamin Frank
lin. Passy was In those days not part OF
Paris as it is now, but village about four
miles from the city. and the quietude OF the
hamlet appealed strongly 10 the Minister from
the United States already at that time aged
and somewhat inirm. The house belonged to a
NJ. lie Ray de Chaumont. who had conceived
great regard for Franklin, and who placed ii at
his disposal. According to popular tradition II
was the first house which a lightning con-
ductor was ever erected in France, although this
is denied by French scientists. who insist that
the lightning conductor had been invented in
France long before Benjarlin Franklin had ever
been heard OF. Franklin left Passy for Am erica
in 1fs5. and, according to the contemporary pub
nratonS here, was mOurned by the entire viz
lage as It's patriarch and most eminent inhabi-
tart. He was al the time eighty years Of age.
and in such q weak state Of health that he
could not bear the jolting of the carriage. Ac-
