Personal.

-Ex-Judge w. w. Crump, who died on
SATURDAY. at his home in Richmond at the
age OF eighty, was ranked as one of the
ablcst criminal lawyers Of the south, hav-
ing figured in the most famous Virginia
cases, notably the Jeter Phillips and Clu-
verius murder trials He was noted for a
remarkable recollection of events his mind
was stored with "reminiscences of Virginia
people, and he was a brilliant CONVERSE
tionalist.
There is on exhibition in Boston the
Salon painting of William f. Warden, a
young artist, whose family are well known
in this city. Mr.. Warden is not over %
years of age. and he is the grandson of the
late Francis Warden, the Paris partner
of the late A. II. Stewart, and he is also
a nephew of the noted oculst and lecturer,
John Howard Payne, NJ. D., of Boston.
The Wardens have long been residents OF
Paris, but they are American in sentiment,
and the young men of the present genera
ton have found occupation in the United
States.
Rev Mr.. Charters has been prohibited
from bringing suit in English courts,

An Interesting Spectacle.

A spectacle that is arresting the atten
ton of the country is that of Congress-
man Jerry Simpson at Topeka, the capt.
tai of Kansas, trying as he says, to pre-
vent the legislature from passing fool
ish laws" Mr. Simpson is a Kansas con-
gresham. He is one of the men who
helped to put the notions in the minds of
the people of Kansas which have led
them to do a great many foolish things.
When he did that he gloried in being
called the sockless statesman, because it
enabled him to get a stronger hold upon
the people. In those days Mr.. Simpson
was a demagogue for revenue and office.
He wanted to so to congress and he
stopped at nothing to acquire notoriety
and achieve popularity. He taught the
people much of the kind of socialism that
has been prominent in recent years in the
politics and legislation of the state.
Mr.. Simpson succeeded in getting to con-
gress. He wears socks now and also a
tall hat. He no longer glories in being
called the sockless statesman. The legis-
lature of his state is the product of his
| teachings. but he is not proud of the
legislature. On the contrary, he is
ashamed of 1t. It's ridiculous doings cause
him remorse. and so he is trying to undo
| his work as far as he can
What a number of men there are in this
broad land who are much like Jerry Simp-
son! They find the people in trouble from
some cause or other, and, in order to
bring themselves to the front and get
into positions of power and profit, they
teach theories relative to finance and
other matters which they know to be
false. They lead the people away from
the truth, and when they have gained
| the object they had in view they en-
deavor to lead them back to sound princi-
pies, for fear their demagogy will be dis
| covered and they will be driven back to
the obscurity from which they came.
Mr.. Simpson may succeed in stopping
the foolshness in the Kansas legislature.
1t is certainly time it was stopped. The
state has already suffered almost ire
parable damage from it.

Weather Bureau in Criminal Court.


The story of Abraham Lincoln's con-
founding an opposing witness with an al
manac record of the moons phases. finds
parallel in the case of Waterson, recently
acquitted on a charge of murder in an
Iowa court The main witness against
him, says the Chicago Times Herald, was
one De.afield, who swore he was working
just outside the window of the accused on
the day of the alleged crime, and saw
Waterson open cupboard, take down a
bottle, move about as If preparing a po-
ton, and then administer the draught to
Mrs. Waterson, who died in great agony
later in the day.
A lawyer named Bradford, for the de-
Tense, had asked the jurymen on exam
ination of them as to competence, if they
had faith enough in the weather bureau
reports to attach credence to them, and
had found every man on the panel believed
the records were fair and reliable. The
state had not understood the drift of these
questions, but had not objected.
When it came to cross-examination,
Bradford asked the witness, Delafield
what he was doing outside Waterson's
window, and he said he was digging a
eistern.
When did you begin digging that els
term"
NOV. Il, the day Mrs. Waterson died. -"
How much did you dig that day
'Oh, about three feet"
What tools did you use?"
"A shovel"
land a pick?'
mo, the ground was mellow"
Work in an overcoat?''
NO; my shirtsleeves. The day was
warm"
Have anything to drink"
Had little pail of water on the ground
within reach"
Didn't it freeze?''
No The witness smiled scornfuilly.
Then Bradford offered in evidence GER
tilted copy of the weather bureau report
for Nov. 10 and II, and showed that the
temperature had been below freezing the
first day and below zero the day of the al
legged crime.
The jury accepted the official document,
and to that extent regarded the witness as
lmpeached, for Waterson was acquitted.

The act OF congress providing a limited
indemnity for registered letters Is now law.
having been signed by President Cleveland
n few days ago. For a very small extra
fee. insurance to the amount Of $40 can
be obtained upon a registered letter. The
registered mail Is one OF the few branches
Of the mail service which affords reven-
ue, and Il Is quite certain that on the
present basis of the earnings Of the regis
tered mail, all insurance claims could be
earned and the branch would still return
a considerable surplus. 1t believed. how
ever. that the Insurance feature will have
the effect Of considerably increasing the
registered mail business, with the result
Of bringing in greater returns. so that the
surplus turned IN to the department will
not be reduced.

lie Knew Where 10 Go.

The Boston Traveller recounts a funny
incident which took place in superior
court in that city last week, I'm the trial
of one Bebro. A witness, after telling
some of Bebro's alleged faults, went on
to recount an unpleasant experience he
had with the accused a few weeks be-
fore the matter got into court
Il called at his office" said the wit
ness, TO try to compel him to return
the money he secured from me by false
representation. He ordered me from mis-
Office and as 1 didn't care to be assaulted
I concluded TO obey him. AS 1 was going
out he told me TO go to-"
And in consequence of what he told
you 10 do, what did you do?" inquired
Assistant District Attorney Sughrue
Went straight to police headquarters, -
replied the witness.
Ii Is needless 10 add that the solemnity
Of the court was disturbed for the next
five minutes.

The University of Chicago ought to be
called Rockefeller University. MIR. John
d. Rockefeller has given it more than
half of the endowment which it has. 1t
has about $4,000, 600, of which Mr.. Rookie
Teller has given it 100000.
The institution, however, seems to be
in financial trouble pretty much all the
time. 1t has an income of 100000, and its
budget calls for 100000 It's deficit there
fore, if allowed to run on, would soon eat
up all the endowment fund.
Mr.. Rockefeller has been consulted
about the matter, and announces that
there shall be no more deficits. He has
practically agreed to give the university
$40 600 in addition to what he has
already given it. With an endowment of
1913 O00, 900 it ought to be able to carry into
effect the plans of its founders.
DR.. Harper, it's president, threatened to
resign recently, because Of the charge
that the Institutions financial affairs
were badly managed, and that its funds
were wasted. 1t does look as If there
were bad management somewhere. A
young university that cannot get along
on $4,000 a year must pay enormous sal
aries TO its professors or else the students
fail to pay their tuition fees and their
room rent. There is certainly something
wrong somewhere. II Mr.. Rockefeller
however, has constituted himself the
financial hacker Of the institution there
will be no more trouble about its financial
affairs

The president of a St. Louis bank. which
recently went up the spout because he had
loaned large sum of money upon worth
less securities declares that he was hyp-
Noticed by the borrower and that he could
not refuse the request. II is to be hoped
in the interest of depositors, who might
hereafter be affected, that the plea will
not hold good in court. Hypnotism and
kleptomania should be forever barred out
of banks and other institutions which han
die other peoples money.

rather than his words He has made a
good start, but he has four years before
him in which TO make a record, to prove
a failure or a success. We hope, for the
sake of the country, and for his own sake
as well, that he will not prove a failure.
