JUDICIARY REFORM.

Reform of the Judiciary of Virginia
with view of lessening the criminal en-
penses and removing some ..of the cum
bersome features the present system is
question that has occupied the best
legal minds of the State for some years.
aud now that the people have decided ad-
versely to Il proposition for Il constitu.
tional convention to remedy thes. and
other existing evils the State Bar Associ-
alton at it's next annual meeting should
thoroughly consider the Subject with the
view Of devising II judicial System that
will tighten the burdens under which the
people have been so long suffered. When
the question of calling a constitutional
convention was before the public the
matter CT reform in the judiciary was
dwelt on at length by the advocates of u
convention as being u potent reason for
calling such convention, and among the
many plans evolved the aim Of all was
to reduce the number Of judges and
thereby lessen the annual expenses which
the salaries OF these and the machinery
of so many courts entailed upon the State.
1t was everywhere admitted that crimi.
nal charges were entirely too large for the
taXpaying capacities of the people, and
reduction was sought by increasing the
jurisdiction of magistrates and reducing
the number of appeals in conf aratively
trivial offenses. 1t is not, however, within
the scope Of this article to go into dis

annual meeting of the Virginia Bar Asso.
citation at the Hot Springs in August
next. The report has been printed in
pamphlet form for circulation and The
Times has been furnished with copy,
from which the extracts given below are
taken.
The objections of Mr.. Parker to the
present judicial system of the State are
first, that the service rendered by the
courts is in many respects not efficient;
and, second, that the cost OF that service
is too great, and in considering IL question
of Il new sYstew that will remove these
obj .ctions he says we must first seek TO
afford greater opportunities for the more
speedy determination of litigation by
providing i'll the counties at least for
more frequent terms of courts of general
jurisdiction; second, provide for the
greater efficiency and better pay of the
judges ut IL reduced or no greater cost to
the people, which can oily be done by
decreasing the number of..judges; third,
reduce the expenses of courts of record by
making changes in the present system of
prosecuting attorneys and clerks of courts
so that the courts may be relieved of
many merely routine matters and much
trif.ng litigation by restricting the right
of trial by jury in petty criminal cases,
except upon appeal from the decision of
the magistrates; fourth, by guarding
against veXatiuus delays by allowing an
appeal from the verdict of the jury to
only one higher tribunal; fifth, provide
for the relief of the court of appeals from

Gainesville, Pa, special: In stepping
over a revolving roll in the Lukens
iron mill today Frank Griffith, an en-
ploye. had a Embarrassing experience.
The tail of his long overeoat caught
on the ROLL and he was himself wound
around the latter in jiffy.
Employees sickened and turned their
faces away, expecting to see Griffith
crushed into shapeless mass, as the
space through which he passed in the
machinery was eighteen inches in dl-
ameter at its widest, and his head went
grinding against the iron.
The roll had made ten or fifteen rev.
olutions before the machinery could
be stopped. Then his companions
rushed 20 unwind and eXtrlcate what
they supposed to be only a corpse. They
finally got Griffith out after cutting OIL

Two years ago Jennie Childress, aged
years, whose parents reside in lizard

measles, which seems to have par
alyzed the vocal organs, rendering
speech impossible, although her power
of hearing was not in the least affected.
Last October she was sent to the Deaf
Mute Institute. For several weeks she
had been under the care of the insti-
tute physician, DR.. Gray, but he be-
came convinced a few days ago that
there was no hope for the little one,
and only yesterday wrote to Mrs. Chill

ment whatever to Jennie's case. Her
power of vocalization seemed to be ut
terly gone beyond recall. This after

Curious Facts Concerning Gems.

Among infirmities to which precious
stones are liable is one common to all
colored stones, that of adding or los
ing color when long exposed to the
light. The emerald the sapphire and
the ruby suffer the least, their colors
being as nearly permanent as eolors
can be, yet experiments made a few
years ago both in Paris and Berlin to
determine the deterioration of eolored
gems through exposure showed that
even these suffered, ruby which had
lain for two years in show window
being perceptibly lighter in tint than
its original mate, which was kept in
darkness. In the case of the garnet
and topaz the change Is more rapid
than in that of the ruby and sapphire,
but there is a curious difference in the
result in topaz and garnet for, while
the latter grows lighter. the former
appears to become cloudy and dull in

characteristic of a newly cut gem.

The Fable of Two poe..

A well fed dog, wearing a collar and
blanket, once fell in with a tramp
canine in the park. Dear me-" said
the fat dog. but you are a sight. You
need upholstering badly. Your bones
project through your skin and out into
the ambient atmosphere. Why is this
thus?"
Il am often hungry and am seldom
bountifully fed said the tramp dog.
"and that is the reason my joints pro-
ject into the future like a reporters
payday"
why do you not attach yourself to
some prosperous family" said the fat
dog, "and thus become sleek and fat,
like me?"
While they were speaking a dog
catcher came into view. The fat dog
soon had a wire moose around his neck,
and he was unceremoniously thrown
into a wagon where there were other
unfortunate ours. The tramp dog, be-
ing unburdened with flesh, lodged be-
tween the passing bicycles and escaped.

deemed him from the pound, and that
fact destroys the moral Truth.

from Mussendom he had witnessed
mysterious fire-circles fitting over the
surface of the sea at a speed or one
hundred miles an hour, a phenomenon
which no one had yet been able to ex-
plain. While steaming along the coast
OF Beloochistan, he had been called
from his cabin at night to observe the
more common phenomenon of a milky
sea, the water for miles around being
singularly white and luminous. In the
same locality the sea was, for snort
periods, as il putrid, the fsh oelhg
destroyed in myriads, so that to pre-
vent a pestilence, measures had to be
taken to bury those cast up on the
beach. This phenomenon was doubt
less due to the outbreak of subma-
