Warren Hastings Law Expenses.

Hastings was in his sixty third year
when he was acquitted, after n trial
which lasted seven years His costs
amounted to el00, 600, which seems a
pretty heavy lawyers bill--it is at the
rate of over Ga, 600 a year-though, no
doubt, heavy expenses were contracted
before the trial began in the preparation
Of evidence. The printed brief delivered
to counsel for the defense extended TO
"a folio volumes, and Laws retainer
was'500 guineas. Hastings memorialized
tLo house of commons TO grant him COM
pensation, but Pitt, TO whom the petit
ton was sent refused. in curt note, to
submit it 10 the sovereign, though he
did not hesitate, as chancellor of the ex-
chequer, to debit the country with the
enormous costs of the prosecution. But
the court of directors of the East India
company behaved very well. They re-
solved to grant Hastings sum of e71,-
$50 as an decentralization for his costs
and an annuity of Go, 900 for life.
1t will hardly be believed that the
board of control, of which DuDdas was
the head, refused to sanction these pro-
posals, as excessive, and ultimately Hast
ings received from the directors $50, 600
down and ca. 600 a year for life. We pre-
sumo that he settled his bill of costs for
los. in the pound, and his three counsel,
Law, Plumer and Dallas, might well
have foregone some of their fees, for the
trial brought them so much reputation
that they all attained to the highest
posts ON the bench. Saturday Review.

The Hertin will case has been occupy
ing the attention OF Probate Judge Dool-
ing this week and the testimony is now
in and the Judge has the case under ad-
yisement. About two years ago Edward
hertin made a will In Minnesota be-
queathing all his property to his brother
Michael Hertin, OF Hancock. He after
ward came here, resided while with his
brother, and then went to live with his
nephew, Ed Hertin, son of Michael
Hertin. Last July he made second will
leaving the bulk of his property to Ed
Hertin with small requests to another
nephew in Ireland and to Bishop Bego'e,
of Duluth. He burned up the first will.
Edward Hertin, the elder, died in August
and the contest IL now made by Michael
Hertin, the sole beneficiary under the fir-t
will. He claims undue influence and says
the old man was not sound in mil d
when the second will was made. The
property is estimated to be worth about
$40. 900 and whichever way the decision
goes in the probate court it Is pretty sure
to be taken up.

MR.. CARROlL's GREAT IDEA.
IL Puts . Man ut His Best When He h

IL Puts . Man ut His Best When He II
Held Up by . Robber.
Taylor Carroll is engaged in devising
q formidable system Of defense for lone
pedestrians when they wander in dan
gerous places whe.e police protection ia
ineffective and the risk of being held
up" is ever present. His plan is to con-
vert the erect human body into minia-
ture revolving turret, armed at four
points and capable Of dealing death In
front, rear or flank simultaneously or
Of sending four successive discharges
in the same direction.
Mr.. Carrolls design is still in its ru-
dimentary stage, with numberless minor
details to be elaborated, but his central
idea is well developed. He says he has
not yet prepared diagrams or expert
mental apparatus, but has merely out
lined it mentally.
81 would have small storage bat
terry worn in a belt" he said, with
small copper wires running from it NJ
through the sleeves and connected with
each hand on the great or middle fingel
with copper ring the thumb can reach
In the palm of the hand. When the
thumb touched the ring, an electrical
current would discharge four batteries
loaded with ball behind and in front.
This discharge could take place wher
the hands were being held under the
threat Of an armed robber.
"The ring should be placed beyond
the reach of the thumb except in cases
Of emergency, SO the thumb will never
discharge the battery accidentally.
Mr.. Carroll is not practical electri
clan or mechanic, being an actor BY
profession. He has not figured up thu
weight of the storage battery to be car
ried ON the belt, nor is he adverse Il
considering the ACCESSIBILITY Of substi
tuting dry primary cell.
In his zeal for the application Of sci
entific methods to the protection Of TIT
citizen the inventor has apparently lef
out of sight everything but the tactica
advantage of the lonely pedestrian at
tackled In front by the bold marauder o.
clasped from behind by the lurking gar
roter. Thus he has not yet figured GU
how a slim young man is to avoid as
Stunning Falstaffian dimensions when h
braces storage batteries and arsenal
around his waist.
Nor does he forecast the possibly trag
ical consequences that might some da.
result from the clasp Of loving hant

a disastrous effect when IL Is already in

II Is easier to arrange the proper length
of the skirt after tits fitted around tho top,

Of much Importance. II Is no uncommon

breadth of which is three inches longer on

Is because the bias parts of the breadth

skirt would probably appear to be quite

Fflled with the Holy Spirit

Some people are very much afraid Of
the Holy Spirit. He seems to them SO
awful that any one under His power
must be uncomfortable. But all this Is
a mistake. His presence is the sweetest,

BILE. The fruit of His abiding with one
is love. joy. peace. long suffering, gen.
tleness. OF all companions in the world
the pleasantest TO associate with are
those who are filed with these cruces Of
His presence. The gentlest, purest. kind
est. most joyous and hopeful of people
are those who are filled with the Holy
Spirit. Whoever else you may know or
fail to know, do not neglect TO know
Him. This is blissful living.

Topic, Time and Sources OF
Temptation.

Ill.
Tempted in all points like as we
are, yet without sin. What encourage
ment for us Since be has suffered and
overcome the same temptations which
beset us, he is able 10 help and save the
tempted ones.
The time Of temptation-it is when
we have been full of thinking, planning.
perhaps rejoicing and receiving greatest
blessings in spirit. The body has been
unthought of, its needs unattended and
its appetites unheeded. Now they rise
in tenfold intensity and clamor for rec
ognition and satisfaction. These bodi
~ powers are necessarily q part of us
and their cravings must have attention.
How and when and why we attend to
them makes all the difference between
soul liberty and bondage. Here is where
lies temptation. Bodily needs must new
or be met at the expense Of spiritual
integrity. Right appetites of the phys
ical nature are 70 be satisfied at the
proper time and in the proper manner,
but never for the mere sense of gratifi
cation.
Gods care is ever over US and over
all. We can safely trust Him for all daj
ly needs. But this gives no warrant for
presumption or running foolhardy risks
or making exhibition of our trust and
His protection. Confiding trust in the
protecting care He exercises never calls
for ostentatiOus show. Sin turks in the
demand for a sign and in the attempt
10 meet the demand. Faith and folly
run close together, but are utterly un-
like in nature.
The impulse 70 take short cut TO
success, to compromise with evil in or
der to gain great advantage for the right,
is ever pressing and hard TO resist. But
yielding is fatal to the good and true.
"Ye cannot serve God and mammon.
One must choose and then abide by his
decision. God needs no help from satan.

of the world as pay for an alliance. he

True Beauty.

Power to appreciate the beautiful is
born with u.s. 1t may be cultivated or
by neglect may be largely lost. 1t is not
so much a matter of sight as of insight.
1t has heart qualities as well as artistic
value. Sidney Lanier we'll says: From
time immemorial, wherever there is
contest between artistic and moral beau
ty, unless the moral side prevails, all is
lost. Let any sculptor hew us out the
most ravishing combination of tender
curves and spheric softness that ever
stood for woman, yet if the lip have a
certain fullness that hints Of the flesh,
if the brow be insincere. if in the minut-
est particular the physical beauty sug-
gests a moral ugliness, that sculptor.
unless he be portraying a moral ugli-
ness for moral purpose, may as well
give over his marble for paving stones
Time, whose judgments are inexorably
moral, will not accept his work. -

A number OF gentlemen residing at al
near the Keweenaw club house IN East
Houghton, have organized themselves
into whist club and will shortly elect
officers. There il considerable interest
awakened on account of the games
played with members OF the Hancock
club. Each side has been victorious
once, and the deciding game will be
played next Tuesday evening at the
rooms OF the Hancock club. IL is pro-
posed by several enthusiasts to try next
season to organize an Upper Peninsula
league OF whist clubs. In the iron
country there are already clubs at Ish-
peming and Negaunee and several fine
players at Marquette. At Lake Linden
and South Lake Linden there are enough
players to make a strong club, Con-
siderable interest would be aroused by
getting up series OF matches.
