It is believed that Attornoy-Generai

who decamped with $430 belonging TO

The report that influential relatives In
Philadelphia would make up the def

not credited. The only relative Nen
claimed was Dr. Neff, who rs a second
uncle, and has had no correspondence
with the late clerk
Mr. Penrose left the city yesterday

who have been at work on the case

OUR government should profit by the
example of Germany in its attempt to
increase it's foreign commerce. There
the government, the great banks at
the financial centers, the railways, the
steamship lines, ambassadors, consuls,
the trade and technical schools-all
labor together for the development
and protection of Germany's foreign
commerce. AS an example of the in
telligence and thoroughness of the eff
forts made in that direction NAV be
cited the sending out this year of a
special economic expedition to China
and Japan to study the wants and
tastes of the people of those countries
and instruct manufacturers at home
how best to carry German competition
into those markets. That is a way of
doing business in comparison with
which the methods employed in most
countries are exceedingly slow and old
fashioned; and it is not surprising that
it has caused marked expansion Of
German commerce.

THE utter uselessness of expert testi-
mony has been shown in the Luetgert
case in Chicago. The doctors have
contradicted each other so emphatic
ally that the truth is as completely OBJ
scured to the laymen as technical
terms can make it. Except in rare
cases the ends of justice would be more
frequently served if all expert testi-
mony was prohibited. If one party
introduces it the other can find dis
senters enough to spoil the opposition's
efforts and the time of the court is &C.
cupied in hearing testimony which
amounts to nothing before the jury.
Expert testimony is an expensive and
useless luxury.
