says
Judge Belcher, Of the San Francis
co Superior Court, gives as his opin-
ION that women would make as good
Jurors as men, except possibly IN
cases arousing their sex sympathy,
and even In that connection he is not
sure that they would not do better
than the average jury OF men. The
history of trial courts, he asserts,
shows that men jurors are prone TO
render YER dicks in accordance with
their sympathles 10 certain class
of cases, in which women are the de-
PENDANTS, it is almost impossible to
convict, however conclusive be the
evidence Of their guilt.
The Judge says;
In criminal cases you can scarcely
get a Jury made up Of men to convict
woman, unless the woman happens
TO be notorious, hsbltual criminal
This, 1 regret to say, has been my ex'
perience, and the experience OF many
other trial judges. Here, especially
the value Of women jurors would ke

N. Y. Stock Letter.

New York, Feb. 23.-Bache letter:
The London market is certainly get
ting better. Consols are back to 112A
and Americans are showing gains of Il
to r. The points is out again to buy
General Electric for 40, and AIorgans
are bulls on Northern Pacific preferred.
According to the Heralds special fin
ancial dispatch, the London stock ex-
change feels in a good mood and that
is in itself an Indication that a big
European war is not yet within meas
urable distance. There has been more
good wheat growing weather through
out the belt since Saturday. and with
war clouds dispensing a low wheat mar
ket is temporarily likely. 1t is re-
ported on authority of an enterprising
newspaper correspondent at Havana
that Fitzhugh Lee has mailed his let
ter of resignation to the war depart
ment in Washington The bears may
find some encouragement in this to raid
the market generally, but such positive
newspaper statements will probably
receive official refutation by the time
the evening editions are published. c.,
B. & Q. will sell ex-dividend today.
The business of the road is picking up.
Bears threaten to renew their attack on
Manhattan. This stock is a purchase
on all drives for big results.

HURLED THE HOLY BIBLE.
Rather Startling Allegation Made by
Preachers Wife.

Rev. Elmer E. Preston, who is now do
ing missionary work and preaching in
Nebraska, does not believe in taking his
religious teachings into his own home,
according to his wife, Mrs. Olive NJ.
Preston, who filed a suit for divorce in
the district court today.
Mrs. Preston is the daughter of a
preacher, though her parents are both
dead. It was her own father that join
ed her to Rev. Elmer Preston in Topeka
in 1884 Naturally Mrs. Preston had
deep religious convictions, and when her
husband was at home she insisted upon
family worship.
She says that at one time when she
was trying to induce her husband to
lead in family prayers, he picked up a
heavy Bible and hurled it across the
room at her. She also says that al
though he is preacher, when he is at
home he is very profane. and uses the
toughest kind of language.
Rev. Mr.. Preston is evidently some
thing of a pugilist, for Mrs. Preston says
that a year ago he struck her in the
eye with his fist, and as a result she
wore black eye for three weeks. The
suit was brought by Police Judge w. E.
