ROSS FOUND GUILTY.
He Is a Drug Clerk and Was Indicted
for Illegal Sale OF Liquor.
Attorney Gener and Mr.. owen Made
Rather Unusual Arguments.

Joseph Ross, a drug clerk, was found
guilty by jury in Judge Wilbur's court
today under an indictment for selling IL
qpor to be drunk on tho premises. This was
the first trial Of case where drug clerk
has beon arrested for selling liquor. The
defendant's counsel. Franklin y. Owen,
gave notice of his intention TO file excep-
tions so sentence was deferred.
There was one remarkable feature about
the trial. namely, that In their arguments
both Mr.. Owen and Attorney General
Tanner went out OF thelr WAY, OF rather
took occasion 20 entertain TIE jury with
more earnest appeals for their respective
sides than they are accustomed To DO.
Mr.. Owen referred To what he claimed

changed the law requiring the detendant

cenco instead of requiring the state 10
prove his guilt

his three years experience as assistant
attorney general and said he mover saw
an innocent man convicted but he had
seon many guilty men escape.
Tho attorney general Dext drew atten

and compared IL To the sale in kitchen
harrooms. He said the drug stores that
sold liquor made cloak OF business

unmanly, said the attorney general, and
you can always tell tho drug stores that

After reviewing the evidence in q care

we are simply to,do justice. Our duty Is

Two police officers claimed To have

was sick and he gave them whisky and
only took payment for two cigars he pur-
chased.

The captain of tho wrecked steamer,
some of her officers and crew and seven
white passengers were swept overheard

ashore. Eight women passengers, nine
children, two officers and few of the
Aden's crew succeeded in getting away
from the wreck in boat. but they have
not been heard of since and there is little
hone that they survived, owing TO the bad
weather which has since prevailed. The
Mayo saved nine of the Aden's passen gcrs
three OF the white members of the crew
and 80 of the natives who formed part of
the steamers crew. All these persons
were rescued just as tho Alden was break

Education in Russia

A few figures, taken from official
sources. and referring to the first years
of the present decade, will throw consid-
cradle light on the matter Of popular
education in Russia. About 200, 900 re-
cruits are yearly enlisted, in the army
and of these only about $4,000 can read.
Among the peasants proper the percent
age of illiterates rises to 95 percent. III
some parts there Is only one
school to each 200 villages. If Russia
had the same proportion as her neigh
Dor, Sweden, for example, she wouli
nave about 25J,1 ,111 schools, wniie she ac-
tually has only $4,000. Again. take Rus
sia's enormous budget of 1,000. 100000
roubles. or this only 100000 are devoted
to popular education-that Is. one
eleventh part of what Is devoted to the
maintenance of the imperial court, one
six hundredth part of the cost of the
army. and one two-thousandth part Of
the whole. At about the same time Great
Britain was spending about f9.000,O0o
for elementary education, etc. with
population little more than a third OF
that of Russia. Moreover. about two
thirds of this paltry sum of 100000 rou-
bles goes in salaries Of ofinspectors.-Fron
