Chicago Chronicle: A gentleman
living in the north division says he
is not prepared to believe the
tales of distress which frequent
ly reach him because. having
lodged with the Relief and Aid Society
two months ago an offer to provide
Il home for II needy person who
would render a small service, he has
had but n applicant, and he was an
aged man too feeble to work at all. 1t
is possible that the gentleman did not
file his proposition at the right place.
The Relief and Aid Society appears to
have become an institution where GER
tain latter-day Wilkins Micawbers ne
gOtiate paper or float loans. but which
does not concern itself particularly
with hard, grinding and offensive pow
etry. No doubt the society has a mis-
sion which it fills acceptably. but the
average citizen should not be miSled
by the name of the institution. 1t dis
penseS n certain amount Of relief and
aid to deserving individuals whose ped
igree, appearance. state Of health. so

fullest and most p~rOtracted invcstiga-
ton. AS now conducted. il would be
impossible to bring the machinery OF
the Chicago Relief and Aid Society to
bear upon a case of starvation or freeZ-
ing, for it is adjusted to a very differ
ent class of work. Even the wretched
have a way Of avoiding places where
they are not wanted and where no as
~sistance is to be looked for. Perhaps
if the north side gentleman had made
his proposition to some society or In
dividual that is in closer contact with
the distressed he would not have had to
wait so long for an answer. No old
time Chicagoan would expect to hear
from the Relief and Aid Society in two
months anyway.

Sustained the Jury's Rights.

Judge PrendergaSt, before his eleya-
ton to the bench, was defending an az
gravated case of assault before Judge
HOrs. He desired to introduce some
evidence favorable to his case, but 1t
was incompetent, being hearsay testi-
mony. He made numerous attempts to
bring out the evidence. 1t met with
strong objection as often from the
States Attorney. The question was ar
gued at length, and the court sustained
the prosecution, ruling the evidence in
competent. ThereupOn Judge Prender-
CAST swung around to the jury and
said:
well, gentlemen of the jury, shall
this evidence go in or not?"
YES" the jury burst out.
The judge and States Attorney lost
their breath by the shock incident to
such a remarkable and unheard-of pro-
ceeding. Recovering his breath, Judge
Hors, who was a novice on the bench
then. asked:
Where is your warrant for such ac-
ton as you have committed"
Your honor. this is your first criml-
nal case" replied Judge Prendergast,
seriously, land you are not familiar
with the criminal practice. The law Of
this State says the jury shall be the
judges of the law or fact in such cases.
You have %overruled this right of the
jury and the jury has reversed your
ruling. / will no longer defend the
case"
The proceedings caused a sensation.
However, Judge Prendergast remained
IN the case under protest. The jury was
indignant to think their lawful right to
decide all questions had been impaired.
The defendant was discharged, the jury
not even leaving their seats.-ChicagO

Recent dispatches from Valparaiso,
Chilli, describe the ceremonies at San
tiago, when the remains of the late
president, lose Manuel Balmaceda,
were inferred with great public hOnorS.
The career of Balmaceda and his tragic
death are Of the highest interest in
South American history. Balmaceda
was elected president Of Chill by al
overwhelming vote in 1886 to serve IN
til 1891. He was one of the most dis
tinguished citizens of the republic. He
had been conspicuous in Congress, elo-
Quent in debate and Of great influence.
He had been prominent in the diplomat
ic service and in 1885, the year before
his election, he was the most popular
statesman in Chilli. He was a liberal
and Il of the most progressive men
in the party. His administration as
president began full Of promise and its
success was regarded as assured. But
the liberal party was divided into nu.
merous factions, all inspired by greed
for spoils, by anger and by the jealousy
Of their separate leaders. His wisdom
as q statesman and his faith as a pat
riOt did not ave him from the efforts
of revolution. In 1891, when his term
was approaching its completion, Con-
gress and the officers of the navy re-
belled against his government. The
conflict a were and the insurgents
appear to have had the sympathy of
.,.Aiy, ,nn- ,a, ntbn,. p;nr,
arr facts public sympathy in the United
States was almost universally in favor
of the rebels against the Balmaceda
government. Our sympathy always
was in favor of every rebel movement
except that which occurred on our own
soil. Balmaceda was defeated and at
tempted flight. But he was pursued by
the hue and cry OF the country to which
he had rendered the greatest service.
His escape was bafied and he sought
refuge in the house of the Argentine
minister at Santiago. Threatened by
Il savage mob, apprehensive Of an igno-
miniouS death II arrested. he commit
ted suicide beneath the roof where he
had taken shelter. His remains were
buried. but the place was unknown eX-
cept TO his friends. There We're stories
that he vas not dead, but that the ac-
count of his suicide and secret inter
men1 was prepared to cover his escape
from the country. But this rumor was
eifectually diScredited. His secret bur-
ial was Tor the purpose OF shielding his
grave from proclamation by his political
enemies. VI the recent reburial with
imposing ceremony mora han 10000
persons Were present. There was q
long procession. Leaders OF the opposi-
ton paid their respects to the surviving
members of his family. More than POO
floral wreaths We're thrown upon the,
gorgeous mausoleum prepared for his
remains. And with this ceremony one
of the greatest South American states
men since Simon Bolivar passes into
history.

saving apparatus-always in perfec,
order and readiness.
The crew consists Of a Keeper and six
surfmen, though some stations number
seven Surfmen; these men are gradu.
ates from no naval college, but have
served their apprenticeship with Old
Ocean as their master: they must be
able to handle a boat in the toughest
weather, and to face all the dangers of
the deep.
Each man must undergo a strict med.
ical examination, and must bring to the
station his certificate of good health;
and he is also obliged to sign an agree
nent to faithfully perform all duties.
The keeper receives a salary of 5000
a year Cup to 1892 it was $70O); he must
be at the station all the year round, but
is allowed a months leave of absence
in summer if he gives up his pay. A
surfman receives $50 a month, is at the
station during eight months Of the
year, and has the privilege of leaving
the station for twenty-fOur hours every
two weeks-but in lonely stations they
| generally remain for the active season,
which begins September /. ending May
l; when a man leaves in May. he goes
where he pleases, and if he does not re-
turn in September the keeper gets IN
other man in his place for the next win
ter season.
The keeper is held responsible for the
condition of everything connected with
the station; he must drill the men in
their duties, divide the work evenly,
and see that the men are orderly. No
liquor is allowed on the premises;
drunkenness or neglect of duty is pun
iShed by instant dismissal from the SER
vice; the a who is detailed to cook
must keep the kitchen in perfect order;
and each has his share of the house
work to perform, for no women live at
the stations.
The crew are numbered by the keeper
from n to six, and at midnight pre-
ceding September 1 the station goes in
to commissions; at that hour the keeper
gives patrol equipments to two Of the
surfmen, and they start our on the first
patrol, and the active season has fairly
begun; everything run like clock-wOrk
after that, and as strict a discipline is
maintained as on board a man-of-war.-
