How the Last Juror was Won.

DIR. Robert d. Sheppard, business
agent Of the Northwestern University.
relates a story Of how he once won a
law suit which illustrates the RAINIER
in which lawyers sometimes aiaIt
themselves to their juries.
There was no question:" said DIR.

my attorney arose to make his opening

about to close his argument when he

him. The other eleven men had al

minds, but the farmer had ssngg;sh.

which BODIED no good for me or my case.
Again my lawyer reviewed the evil

to this one man, but no impression was
made. The same stolid expression still
o cupied the mans face, and he SEEM
&c as little likely to be moved rs the
courthouse in which the trial was TAX

a! out giving up in despair, q happy
thought struck him. He repeated
again the bare facts, and whep he
came to a place where the person op
posing me had made an egregicus err

old farmer and said:

that there's where he dropped his wat

MISS BARroN,s RELIEF WORK.
An Account OF Progress Among the
Stricken Armenians.

Miss Clara Barton has drawn up the
following statement regarding the pro-
gress of her relief work in Asia Minor:
cit should be understood that one
object of our expeditions in the field
at this time is the helping of the peo-
pie to cultivate their lands and get
crops of some kind to growing that
they may subsist upon in the near
future and through the coming winter,
of their condition of hunger and
threatened starvation will be as great
or greater than now. To this end
our two expeditions have been for
several weeks purchasing in the
cities the farming implements in
general use by the people and
carrying them to the villages and farm
lands of the country, where all imple-
ments have been either destroyed OF
taken. 1t is understood that the gov
eminent has expressed desire to take
part in providing seed for planting.
Indian corn or maize is one article dis
tributed for food by our people, and it
can be planted, if no other seed is pro-
vided.
"The two expeditions are en- route
for Harpoot by different ways, provid-
ing the farmers as they go. Money
for this purpose is being freely sent
from here. The object, and perhaps
the one appealing more directly to the
sympathies of the people, is the hand
ling of the medical relief of the two
fever-stricken cities of Zeitoun and
Iarash. where eight to ten thousand
people are suffering the agonies of four
distinct epidemics raging among them
at once; typhoid and typhus fever are
raging.
SIN this state of things we took up
the medical relief of these ill-fate
cities. Physicians must be found who
are willing to risk the double danger
Of contagious disease and country by
no means in a settled condition.
Through Mr.. Geo. Post, of Bey
rout, few were drawn from the med
zeal college in that city, placed under
charge of DR.. Ira Harris, and sem
with medical supplies to begin Q hospi
tai in Marash.
"More physicians are on the way AM
others are being procured to report t.
DR.. Harris.
"The reported number of death
has been for some time 70 to 100 daily

NECK BKokEN BY THE FALL.
III. HI. Holmes Hanged In Moyamen'
sing Prison.

Herman w. Midget, alias II. 81.
Holmes, was hanged in Moyamensing
Prison, Pa, Thursday. The drop fell
at 1O:12:30 O'Clock. It was fully q
half hour later before he was officially
pronounced dead,
A half minute before he was shot
into eternity he m .de this declaration
to the solemn assemblage gathered
about the scaffold:
"Gentlemen-I have very few words
to say. In fact, would make no re-
marks at this time except that by not
speaking 1 would appear to acquiesce
in my execution. only wish to say
that the extentSof my wrongdoing in
taking human life consisted in the
death of the two women that have died
by my hands, and as result OF the
criminal operations. I wish to state
here, so there can be no chance OF
misunderstanding, that / am not guilty
of taking the lives of any of the PIetzel
family-the three children and Benia-
min, the father, of whose death l was
convicted and for which I am to be
hanged. That is all have to say"
The words were well chosen and dis
tinctly enunciated. The voice OF the
condemned man never quavered; the
hands, clasped on the dark railing Of
the scaffold, did not tremble. The
nerve which has all along character
lied this most marvellous of assassins
did not desert him at the end. As the
last syllable fell from his lips, he
turned to his attorney, Mr.. Rotan.
Clasping the right hand of the young
lawyer, Holmes placed his left on the
mans shoulder, and, gazing up into
his eyes, said in a loud voice, "Good-
bye" Then he carefully buttoned
his coat, nodded to the sheriff, and
an instant later he was shot up into
the air.
He was undoubtedly the most stolid
of any in that assemblsge of more than
fifty men. The pallor of his face was
no deeper than the ordinary prison
bleach, and he stood erect, gazing
steadfastly before him until the hor-
rible blackacap shut cut his last look
at earthly things.
