Bhe Serves on n Jury and Acts n Its

A precedent was established in Hunts
justice court in Denver recently which
created considerable merriment. The first
woman juror In the history of Arapahoe
county justice courts was impaneled In the
case against Dominic Gother, an Italian,
who was charged with the theft of 10 cents
worth of coal from coal company. The
woman Juror was Mrs. Jennie Pierson,
cOlored.
When tho case was called, the defense
asked for q jury, and the court had to
grant the request. Deputy Sheriff Howard
La Due saw the courtroom was crowded
with spectators and experienced happy
sensation. thinking that he would have no
difficulty In securing jury out Of the peo-
pie present.
So six men were called inside the railing
and were subjected to tiresome sxamina.

fears that they were going to be bunkoed.
One after another they were excused until
the six were all disposed Of, and La Due
had to return for more. This waSrepeat.
ed several times, and finally those Of the
spectators who had not been called feared
that they might, and departed.
Things were beginning to look bad for La
Due, and he was about to take his hat and
canvass the streets for jurors, when bis eye
rested upon Jennie Pierson, a buxom WON.

Temporary Famine Expected In London
During Jubilee Ceremonials.

During jubilee Ceremonials.
Already in London much apprehension
is felt in regard to feeding the estipated
1900, 900 strangers who are expected to be
present at the celebration of tho queens
jubilee.
AS is well known, England is mainly
dependent for it's edibles upon foreign
sources. London is provisioned only from
day to day, and any interruption of trans.
portation facilities from the continent for
few hours would practically exhaust its
supply of many perishable commodities.
The Daily Telegraph is already indulging
In gloomy forebodings on the subject. 1t
asserts that perishable food, such as milk,
fruit, vegetables and fish, will be scarce
and extortionately dear. On the actual
day of the procession it fears an actual
fight for edibles. Caterers are already con.
tracting to supply luncheons and dinners
for the sightseers on June %. From the
terms demanded it is conceded that only
millionaires will be able to feed satisfac.
torily. Alarm is inspired by the possibil.
ity that for several days previous to TIL,
celebration the demand upon tho passen'
ger service of the railways will be so great
as to disorganize the transportation OF
food from rural England and tho CONT

Pomona, California, has been wrestling
with the liquor question, and with origi
nslity worthy of the country has just

will be allowed, and even casks will not be
allowed for customers to lean or sit upon.
There must be no back doors or windows.
The saloon keeper will forfeit his license
and bond IL he sells to minor or a woman

Vast quantities OF wool, woollen cloth,
hides, leather and other commodities which
will be affected by the tariff are also being
imported by American spectators. These
will likewise be held until the new tariff
becomes operative. Then the people will
be obliged to purchase at the advanced
price while the speculator will pocket the
profit. The treasury will not get single
dollar in revenue from these sales. That is
the situation in every line OF merchandise
affected by the tariff. The people, as usual,
must pay all the duties, while the trusts,
monopolies and spectators pocket their
miIlions

Harry Pearsall was sent to Jail for 30
days recently by Justice Steers in Brook
lyn. Pcqrsall was charged with assaulting
John Ericsson at Canarsie. He followed
Ericsson around the entire afternoon await
ing a chance to light upon him.
When the rosy colors of the sunset illu-
minated tho placid waters of Jamaica bay,
Ericsson retired to n. neighboring hotel to
quench his long thirst. Pearsall saw his
chance. AS his victim poured down the
beer he slipped up on him, seized the idle
sandwich OH the table and struck him q
cruel blow with 1t. The sandwich had
been in tho hotel for many days and was
almost petrihed. The blow almost killed
Ericsson. Before Pearsall could repeat the
assault hewas seized by the police and dis

RE|VIBV OF TRADE
Anticipated Revival Has Not
Materialized.
State of Business With Prospects
as Seen by Bradstreet.


New York, May 15.-Bradstreet's s says:
The unexpected falling off In the request
for staple goods within a month results
In a period of comparative calm at a
time when a general revival in demand
had been looked for. Wool Is In less de-
Mand and is weaker. although 1t is be-
tween seasons with some textile man
ufacturers. The movement Of cotton
fabrics continues disappointing, and the
outlook is for further restriction of pro-
ductiop, as 1t requires concessions to
sell goods. Print cloths are quoted low
ell, but the most conspicuous changes
In prices are those for pig iron and Steel
which are now the lowest on record
Among leading articles for which quo
tations are unchanged are coffee. petro-
leum, anthracite coal and lumber. The
advance for tea Is based upon the tariff
proposals. and that for cotton on the
outlook for recreased acreage. but higher
prices for nearly all cereals are not the
outcome of discoveries or new condi-
tions. Wholesalers report that the vol
ume Of business consists Of filling-in
orders, even Chicago not claiming more
than to have held its own In volume Of
goods distributed. Interior merchants
and In many directions farmers are too
busy with field work to supply their
wants at the country stores.
The continued subsistence OF the foods
In the lower Mississippi river valley has
encouraged wholesale merchants In that
region; grocers report unusually large
distribution Of canned goods West and
Southwest, and the extreme depression
In pig iron prices Is followed by large
Western purchases. Wholesale dealers
announce an Increased demand for gro
ceries and hardware at Duluth. st. Paul,
Minneapolis, Kansas City and Memphis.
Bank earning aggregate r.oo4.0 900 the
week. 10 per cent less than last week.
There are 251 business failures re-
ported throughout the United States
this week, compared with 228 last week.

ago, and 210 two years ago. 1876 three
years ago, and as compared with 265
In the like period Of 1898.
Stock values are depressed and the
New York market Is dull and profess
sional on the renewed Cuban agitation
at Washington. American sugar has
weakened on unfavorable tariff news
from Washington.
Aggregate railroad earnings show
about the same gain as in March, al
though the former month was one day
shorter and furnished several holidays.
Exports of wheat (fiour included as
wheat) from both coasts Of the United
States and from Montreal this week
amount to 2,183,S75 bushels, as COM
pared with 1,799, 900 bushels last week,

dians and snforcers of the law themselves.
They are daily disregarded and NO one Is
the wiser, nor would they care II they
were. A thorough purging of the statute
books is needed, not because certain laws
are calculated to wrong US, bus because
their continued existence is an absurdity

Much complaint is heard regarding the
nuisance Of travelling peddlers. At the
present time when times are bad, these
peddlers, carrying their wares into the
homes OF the poor, will take large sales
because they offer cheap articles at low
price, but yet receive more profit on the'-.
sales than do the merchants along the
streets who have to pay rent and taxes.
1t is unjust to the latter to allow men from
Providence and even Boston to come here
In droves, as they do daily and impose
upon the people and annoy the house
keepers of the city by ringing doorbells.
The housekeepers often complain that
these peddlers are 30 persistent that they
often intimidate women into purchasing

be put down in justice to our merchants

that minor, who had purchased bicycle

To nav for the same but had returned the

Frightens Sick Girl Into a Danger

An alteration took place yesterday
afternoon between a census taker named
Romero and Mrs. Fonk, who resides on
Hewitt street. Romero called at the
front door, and after a series of violent
knocks demanded admittance. Miss
Matte Fonk, who occupied the front
room, has been for several days pasr
very i'll from an attack of appendicitis.
She appeared at the window and told
Romero to go around to the rear door,
where her mother would give the desired
information.
Romero, however. refused to do so,
and after saying he would break in the
door, tried to force his head through the
wire screen covering the window.
He at last left. saying that he was an
officer of the law and that the inmates
OF the dwelling would hear from him be-
fore nightfall. Romero next called at
the adjoining house, occupied by Mrs.
Rankin, and conducted himself In the
same obstreperous manner. Mrs. RAN
kin claims she smelt liquor on his breath
and thought from his actions that he
was Intoxicated. Miss Matte F0nk was
