PORTSMOUTHNE

seek to establish and maintain in the
interest of good government a proper
anu dignified bearing toward these tri-
DUMAS, L am by no means advised.
Inc fact remains, however. that there
sun exists means OF dealing with libel
ious offenses against the public jus
tice. The law imposes upon ths grand
Juries the duties of presenting such Of
tenders. and upon the petit juries the
power of trial.
In this Commonwealth all The courts
derive their authority from the people,
and hold II in trust for thei: security
and benefit
The powers which the courts exercise
Is but the authority of the people them
selves exercised through the Judges
and turies as their trusted agents. 1t
Is the authority and law emanating
from the people which these officers sit
to exercise and enforce. Contempts and
libels against these officers In the ad-
ministration of the laws are insults
offered to the people themselves, and
not to the humble agents of the law,
whom they employ in the conduct of
their government
These principles being established
when the law holds that speaking or
writing contemptuously of courts or
judges acting in their judicial capacity,
printing false accounts of causes then
depending in Judgment. or by anything.
I'M short. that demonstrates IL gross
want of that regard and respect
which would tend to bring the courts
into disrepute and impair their efficiency
Is an indictable offense.
In the interest therefore of the pub
lie ut large, and especially of this court
whose integrity and effectiveness must
be protected, you have been convened
for the purpose of inquirinE into the
misconduct In bo
letter of the Commemorative Attorney
heretofore referred to. and OF report
ing to this court the result of such in
vestigations.
1t Is needless to say, gentlemen. that
you fully appreciate the important du-
ties which devolve upon you in this
investigation: that you will present no
person through prejudice or i'll WILL
nor leave any unpreSented through fear
or favor, but that you will hew It to the
line and let the chips fall where they
may.
AS a special grand jury, at least five
OF your number must concur in finding
or making an indictment or presentment
You may make a presentment upon
the testimony of witnesses sent to you
by the court. or called on by you, Oh
upon the information of two or more OF
your own body, and the names of the
grand jurors giving the Information OF
of the witnesses must be written at the
foot of the indictment or presentmcnt.
The law allows you only the witnease:
for the Commonwealth. and it Is only
necessary that such u case shall be
made out against the accused as ought
in your Judgment put him upon his tria
before a petit jury.
The Sheriff will now conduct YOU tc
your room.

MONUMENT TO A PRIZE FIGHTER.
Proposed Tribute to Jack Dempsey Stirs
Up Protest.

Proposed Tribute to Jack Dempsey Stirs
Up Protest.
The movement on foot to erect a mon
ument in Calvary cemetery, NewtOWn,
l.. l., in memory of the late Jack"
Dempsey, the middleweight champion
vigorous protest from the authorities
of the cemetery, and if the thousands
of friends and admirers of the dead
fighter persist in the scheme, bitter
contest in the courts will be the result.
The widow of Dempsey has already
given her consent for the removal of
the remains of the late "Nonpareil" from
Portland, Or, where they are inferred,
to Calvary cemetery. Such prominent
Corbett and Bob Fitzsimmons have
expressly signifed their intention to sub
scribe literally to the proposed monu-
ment fund.- A letter was received from
Fitzsimmons the other night to the eff
feet that the present champion heavy
weight considers that Dempsey was the
gamest man that ever stood before him.
Bob" has offered to chip in $500 to-
ward the fund.
"Gus" Tuthill, Dempsey's old hacker
and intimate. friend; Messrs. Phil. and
Mike Dwyer, David Gideon, Senator
Timothy b. Sullivan, who is a great ad-
mirer of the manly art; Bookmaker
Peter De Lacy, Richard X. Fox, Arthur
Lunley and prominent sporting men all
over the country have signifed their
willingness to contribute to the fund.
Martin Dempsey, brother of "Jack," says
that there would be no trouble about
securing plat for the burial of the late
champion.
The proposition was to place over
Dempsey's grave a bronze statue of
Dempsey in ring costume and in fighting
attitude On the pedestal was to be in
scribed record Of his numerous battles
and victories. It is just here where the
hitch comes in. I. ]. Mcmahon, who is
in charge of the office of Calvary Gem
etery, says that no such monument
would be permitted in the cemetery.

deprecating protest against losing caste.
The young heiress without available
chaperonage in or out of her own family
is the sugar plum Of the professional
chaperon. There are several of these
dainty morsels in New York society this
season, and many of the most successful
debuts and the most brilliant matri-
monial matches of the last few seasons
have been due to the coups de main of
the professional representatives cf the
managing mamma. In England there
are number of titled women who are
available as social stepping stones to
young women. The young woman in
some cases is adopted into the home of
the chaperon as ward or guest; in other
cases new establishments are opened on

Trolley and storage Battery.

A novel plan of making zone hand

While the car is travelling over the
trolley section the accumulators are
charged, receiving current through the
same feed wire as the trolley. When
the end of the trolley is reached, which
overhead wires are prohibited, the car
continues on it's way over a track that
was formerly used as horse car line, re-

INSIDE THE TEAKETTLE.
1t is Well Worth While to Note It's Cor
ditiOns.

1t is Well Worth While to Note It's Com
ditions.
A helpful suggestion is to be welcomed,
from whatever source it may come, and
this bit of moralizing regarding certain
kitchen practices is just as valuable as
though it appeared for the first time in
some publication claiming to be devoted
especially and exclusively to the interests
of Bridget and her mistress. 1t is often
the simplest details in kitchen labor that
are the most neglected. The hot water
kettle, for example-how many cooks
pay any attention to it? Stale water,
simmered, and with all vitality cooked
out, is it's perennial portion, with an
occasional filing up and sudden boiling
as the need requires. If every house
keeper who reads this paragraph should
go straight to her kitchen, lift the kettle,
and carry it to the window, where a
strong light will disclose it's interior,
nine out of ten of them will find rusty
layer of lime, iron and dregs, that eff
fectually prevents any good-favored wa
ter from issuing from it. The kettle
needs the same frequent and thorough
care that any kitchen utensil needs.
Into such, having it already warm, put
fresh filtered water, boil rapidly, and
use at once, and one of the large aids
to palatable food is ecured.-Philadel-
mia Times,
