Durant May Get a New Trial.

Today the Attorneys Of Theodore
Durrant will ask the Court for a new
trial on the ground that Horace
Smythe a juror, was influenced by
INDUSTRIOUS stories which he heard re-
garding DuiTaht and not by what he
learned from the testimony. 1t is
alleged that the police department
caused stories to be carried to Smythe
charging Durraat with incest, and
that Smythe told four responsible per-
sons after the trial that he found a
verdict Of guilty because OF his belief

to appear for contempt.

a trade OF a basket of eggs for a calico
dress. After some time "a bargain was
closed, the native walked out with the dress
in bundle under his arm, and / fol-
lowed him.
1T Isn't any business of mine" said,
but was watching that trade. and was
surprised to See You let the eggs go for

How many eggs did you have?"

Dunno. Can't COUNT
That's where YOU miss the advanta ges
of education. With knowledge you might

But don't want two dresses, mister"
he argued.
Perhaps not. but that was no reason
why you should have paid two prices for
one. The merchant got the advantage Of
you because of his education. He knew
what he wa s about"
He looked at me for minute, is If he

The idiot and Other People.

THAT species OF insanity which prompts
certain persons to make young married
couples conspicuous and embarrassed
during their honeymoons seems to be
on the increase said the obServant clerk
of large uptown hotel on Fifth avenue.
Now, here Is " hite kid slipper which
has been mailed to q bride who b as been
stopping here for a week Her name
I'm large letters, and the stamps have been
stuck in a row across the toe. 1t is
obviously one of the Iady's old slippers
and some one of the wedding guests who
evidently lost a chance to throw it at her
at the wedding probably felt in conscience
bound to mail it to her.
Il fail to See much of joke In this sort
OF wedding gift. There is In one of our
mail boxes a large envelope addressed TO a
couple stopping here, and directly under
the names are the words bride and BRIDE
groom, in large letters. This letter scheme
is, believe, new dodge OF the facetious
wedding guest. But there Is another new
scheme practiced by these Jokers. 1t is
this-a long telegram came addressed t.
me stating that a certain young couple
standing high in the social world had tust
been married. They would stop at our
hotel and the sender desired Ms to know
that they Were a BRIDE and bridegroom.
''It was OF no advantage to me to know
that the arrivals had been recently married
and If the sender Of the telegram thought
we would show his message to tie couple
he greatly deceived himself. The bride and
bridegroom were none the wiser and, after
the manner OF all young couples. imagined
everybody thought they were old married
people
"The practice OF aying practical jokes
on brides and bridegrooms is by no means
diving ont. II We hotel clerks can help the
couples out or any trouble caused by this
nonsense. We will do 1t every time. Com
