THE NEW JUDGES TRIALS.
He Did Well on the Bench But Missed
His Latin.

His Latin.
Some years ago one of the laymen
who find places on the bench of the
highest court of New Jersey, thanks to
political influence and accommodating g
governors, was a builder or contractor
living in the northern part of the state,
a man notoriously ignorant of law and
untitled for any judicial position, says
the New York Post. Not long after his
appointment a Judge of federal court
who knew the man met him, and, with
rather an amused smile, asked:
''Wen, judge, how do you get along
on the bench?'
''Oh," was the reply, Il get along very
well. You see, L have been en- the grani
jury good deal and so had picked up
considerable about law. But, judge
he went on rather earnestly, Il find I've
got to study Latin"
Indeed! That's rather a serious bust
ness for a man of your age to take up
is it not?"
"Yes, but I've got to do it. You see
there are so many words L don't under
stand. Now, look here, what do they
mean when they say laches?"
He pronounced the word catches,
and as he spoke he made n motion with
his index finger as of man lifting &
latch.
The future course of the judges study
of Latin is not recorded.

How the Mesmerist Convinced HIS
Audience of His Power.

How the Megmerist Convinced HIS
Audience of His Power.
Several prominent people were talk
ing together recently in the billiard
room of the principal hotel in a large
provincial town in the north when a
weI-known conjurer and mesmerist
came to see if the bill poster had left
any of his programmes, says the Scot
tish Nights. Two or three gentlemen
began to poke fun at the professor and
intimated that there was some trickery
in his performance.
Finally the mesmeric professor stood
upon his dignity and offered to give a
free exhibition of his skill then and
there He said that he would so place
one of the party when under his inf1u-
ence that when he had caused the sub
iect to grasp his own nose he could not
leave the room without taking his
fingers from his nose.
The wager was accepted and one of
the party, an alderman, gave himself
up to the influence of the mesmerist,
who placed him by the side of an iron
column at the end of the room, told him
to close his eyes, and made few passes
over his face. He then took the alder
mans arm, brought it round the col
umn and put his nose between his
fingers. After a few more passes the
professor said:
''Now, sir, you cannot leave the room
without taking your finger from your
nose"
The victim opened his eyes and at
once saw the point of the joke.

THE MARINE ENGINEER.

An Officer with VAST Responsibilities
for Which He Seldom Gets Credit.
From the time, less than 60 years ago,
when the first steam vessel crossed the
Atlantic the evolution of the marine
engineer has been rapid, but he is the
one class of marine craftsman that,
above all others, has kept pace with
the developments of this fast speeding g
age, and he stands to-day the most fin
ished product of n century that has
created more new types and more new
il. says the Pail Mall Magazine. The
marine engineer to-day is more impoT-
tant than any deck officer, bat his i'm
portance is as little recognized by the
nonseafaring man as his identity is
concealed from the view of those who
travel in ships. Down in the bowels
of the vessel, he controls not only the
propulsion, but the steering, lighting,
pumping, anchoring, ventilation OF the
modern marine structure, and on the
warship he is even responsible for the
manipulation of heavy guns. The eyes
that steer the ship are those of the
officer of the watch, but the brain that
guides the ship to her destination and
regulates her internal economy is the
brain of the marine engineer. He is
the real responsibility, and, we are
afraid, his is the least share of the hon
or that is given to those who serve
their country or their employers with
courage and devotion on the sea.

Don't think because you are sick and
nothing seems to give you relief that
you can't be cured.
There must be a cure for you some
where.
If your doctor can't cure you, perhaps
he has mistaken the cause. Anybody
Is liable to make mistake sometimes.
One IN three of us suffer from indiges-
tion, and one out of three dyspeptics
doesn't know it. That is, he may know
he is sick, but he blames it to something
else.
Indigestion is the cause of half of our
dangerous diseases.
Shaker Digestive Cordial, made from
tonic medicinal roots and herbs, is the
most natural cure for indigestion. 1t
relieves the symptoms and cures the
disease gently, naturally, efficiently, civ
ing strength and health to sick dyspep-
tics.

KENNETH CLARK SELECTED
Vice President of the Merchants Ma
tiOnaI Bank.

The directors of the Merchants Ma
tlonal bank, who were chosen at the
recent annual meeting Of the stock
holders, met yesterday and elected the
following officers:
President-William R. Merriam.
Vice President-Kenneth Clark.
Cashier-George G. Power.
Assistant Cashier-George H. Prince.
The election, of Kenneth Clark to the
vice presidency of the Merchants Ma
ticnal bank will prove most satisfactory
to the stockholders. To- accept this po-
sitiOn, Mr.. Clark resigned the office of
vice president of the Capital bank, and
will hencefOrth be an active officer of
the Merchants National bank. Mr..
Clark takes the place of Charles H.
Bigelow, who has served only in a
nominal capacity, and has never given
any active attention to the institution
Mr.. Clark expects to devote his entire
time to assisting the other officers Of
the bank. He is regarded as one of
the most conservative business men in
the community, and the stockholders
and directors are confident that his h gh
personal character and his business
ability, will prove most advantageous
in the discharge of his duties.
George H. Prince, who was elected
assistant cashier to fill the vacancy
caused by the promotion of George C.
Power, was the cashier Of the Capital
bank. $500.

STATE TEACHERS ASSOCIATION
LEGISLATIVE COMMITTEE AND
THE CIGARETTE LAW.
WILL TIGHTEN 1T UP A BIT
RECOMMENDATION AGREED ON to
BE PRESENTED TO THE
LEGISLATURE.
TERMS OF THE NORMAL SCHOOLS.
Suggestion That the Sessions Be
Shortened and Increased to
Four Each Year.

A meeting was held yesterday in the
Office Of the department Of public in
struction of the legislative committee
Of the State Teachers association. Prof.
s. A. Farnsworth, of ST. Paul, is chair
man Of the committee, which includes
L. c. Lord, Of Moorhead; K. w. Buell.,
Fillmore county; T. B. McKelvey, Da-
kota county; F. A. Weld, Saltwater,
and c. H Congdon, Of this city.
The specific purpose of the meeting
was to discuss and arrange for legis-
lation needed by the schools and teach
ers of the state. Among other things,
music will be added to the curriculum
of the public schools Of Minnesota, the
cigarette law will be amended so that
the minor offending will be Included
in the penalty a part of which he may,
however, escape by furnishing infor-
nation as to where the weeds were Sc
cured.
The committee will recommend that
the sum of $50 be annually given by
the state to each school in the common
school district coming up to a required
standard, that is, having so many
pupils, keeping session for at least nine
months of the year and equipped with
proper rooms, books, ETC., these matters
to be decided by inspection.
The committee is in favor of an
amendment changing from 40 to 60
DAYS attendance as being necessary to
entitle a pupil to a share in the state
reapportionment. This change VIII
make the rule come within the pro-
visions Of the compulsory education
law.
Still another matter was discussed,
which, although rather out of the
province Of this committee, is still of
considerable interest, to the teachers of
the state. That Is the suggestion to
change the present plan Of holding three
sessions Of the normal schools amount
ing to 40 weeks to four sessions aggre-
eating 4S weeks. This, 1t is pointed
out. will allow teachers to come In and
take charge of classes for q short term
without much loss of time, and 1t will
also provide for a summer term at the
schools mentioned. The whole thing
will be taken up by the board OF nor
NAL regents.

DIR. KEAM DIVORCED.
Judge Kelly Decides He Is Entitled
to d Decree.

Judge Kelly filed his decision yes
terday in the action for divorce brought
by DR.. Alfred P. Keam against Addia
L. Keam. the court finds that the de-
PENDANT deserted the plaintiff and that
such willful desertion has been cOntin-
uous ever since the month Of December,
1898. 1t is therefore determined that
the plaintiff is entitled to a divorce and
a decree is ordered.
In his memorandum, Judge Kelly
says that, after the plaintiff had re
leased in October, 1892 all right he may
have had by the courtesy in several val
liable parcels of real estate belonging
to his wife, and, after the defendant
had signed and delivered a writer,
promise not to annoy the plaintiff or
demand any support from him and to
reside elsewhere than in ST. Paul,
plaintiff and defendant again resumed
for a brief time their relations of huS-
band and wife.
Plaintiff then and afterwards begged
defendant without condition imposed"
continues the memorandum, ito forget
the past and return to his home, and
that they resume permanently their
marital relations. That abrogated the
former agreement to live apart. The
defendant refused and failed to return
and made her failure emphatic by her
conduct in 1893, when plaintiff was in
the hospital sick and supposed to be
in danger of death. While it is neces-
sarily difficult to say just when de-
PENDANT formed the intention never
again to live with plaintiff as her hus-
band, it is perfectly plain 1T was formed
about or prior to September or Octo-
ber 1898, when she SO declared it to the
witnesses, DR.. Woolway and Mr.. Muir

CANNOT TOUCH HIS BREWERY
He Thinks a Great Injustice May BE
Worked by the
Act.

Judge Bum, in an order filed yester-
day, denying an application for the ap-
pointment of a receiver, points out
what he regards as the injustice that
may be worked by Minnesotas home
stead law. The case in point came be-
fore the court on the motion Of the
National Bank of the Republic, of New
York, for the appointment Of receiver
for the property Of William Banholzer,
after disclosure in supplementary pro-
ceedings. Judge Bum denied the mo-
memorandum accompanying the order,
Judge Bum says:
This cause presents in very forcible man
ner the injustice that mey be worked by our
homestead law. The defendant is allowed
to hold as his homestead five acres of land
in this city of great value occupied not only
by his dwelling house but by his fathers and
by brewery and buildings connected with
IL, beer garden and a dancing pavilion
and used not only for residence purposes but
for the purpose of carrying on a brewing
business. 1t certainly seems very inequitable
that the defendant should be allowed to hold
all this property exempt from execution while
his nelghbor, who owns property across the
street which is plated, hold but forty
feet But / am unable to see any escape
from this result. The statute and the de-
cision Of the supreme court seem to me to
absolutely protect the defendant in his enjoy
ment Of the entire five acres, however he
may elect to his property.
The plaintiff cOntended that the defendant
BanholZer had subdivided the property by de-
voting portions of it to separate and distinct
purposes, but Judge Bum holds that the
and that it is STILL to some extent, used for
agricultural purposes.
