THE DOG ASA WITNESS.
Mr.. Hartmann's Big Pet Of
fered in Evidence.
ONE JUROR DID NOT WANT HIM

IN THE SAME ROOM WITHOUT
HIS MASTER AND HE WASN'T
SENT IN THE JURY ROOM
COULD NOT AGREE ON A YER
DICT.
The damage suit against John C..
Hartmann, president of the Hartmann
and Fehrenbach Brewing Company.
brought by Benjamin c. Barclay. who
was attacked and bitten by Mr Hart
mann's mastiff dog, was concluded in
Superior Court to-day.
The defence in this novel damage
case was that Mr.. Hartmann had no
knowledge of the dog being vicious.
The onimals reputation for peace and
good order was brought into question
on The stand. Mr.. Ponder also moved
for a non-suit.
He claimed that the plaintiff had not
notified defendant of dangerous or vic.
iOus character of the dog. Mr.. Hilleg
contended that the family had knowl-
edge Of the vicious character of the
dog rs Mr.. Hartmann had said he was
kept as a watch dog. The court re-
fused TO grant the nOn-suit. Mr.. Sauls-
bury then went to the jury He said
that he would prove that Barclay was
playing with the dog before he was
bitten.
AS soon as the first witness was sum-
moned it was seen that the defence
would try to show that the dog was OF
a gentle and not vicious disposition.
Mrs. Jennie Cook was the first wit
ness called for the defence. She said
that at the time of the accident she
worked for Mr.. Hartmann. When the
men came to fix the heater on that
morning she saw Barclay playing with
the deg. She saw the dog jump at the
man but did not know whether he was
bitten or not. She never heard of the
animal biting anyone else and he play
ed with children.
John Hartmann, the owner of the
dog said that he had never heard OF
the deg biting or running at anyone
before. When he heard that he had Bit
ten Barclay he offered to have him
shot, Tut Barclay said that he need not
do it as the wound was not serious.
He paid Barclays doctor bill.
DR.. II. p. Ewes and Fred G. Mani
mele testified to the dog being very
gentle.
DOG IN THE JURY ROOM.
Mr.. Salisbury having offered the dog
in evidence, asked that it be sent in
with the jurors. Mr.. Salisbury con-
tended that the man was hurt, and he
was the only person ever hurt, while
playing with the dog, but that Mr..
Hartmann had done everything pOssi-
bic to be done between man and man.
The dog, he contended, was a St. Ber-
nard, used to pilot wanderers in the
Alps and save lives. Mr.. Hartmann
had bought him eight years ago as a
pet for his wife, and he was pet, ana
all the children of the neighborhood
played with him.
Mr.. Hilles closed by displaying Bar
clay's torn coat, summing up his in
iuries and declaring that the dog was
vicious and they knew it and kept Il
to drive off tramps.
One Of the jurors objected to the doc
in the jury room and the animal was
taken out by Mrs. Cook, ending one oi
the most interesting cases in court this
year.
At o'clock the Hartmann jury, hav-
ing failed to agree after being out al
hour, court took a recess.
This afternoon Messrs. Prickett anc
Hayes settled the case of Rebecca NJ
Smith VS.. John Mealey on judgment fol
the plaintiff for $3.50.

Pennsgrove. n. j., May 25.-It was
thought a week ago that shad fishing
would be about ended with the week.

From seventy-dve to one hundred have

the one-man system. The sturgeon
fishermen have had fair success the
past week from the fact that caviar

Sulphun1e!

The curative properties of
sulphur have been known for
ages, but owing to the crude
ness of the drug, its use to a
greater or less degree has
been restricted. The leading
chemists of the world have
labored for years endeavoring
to liquify sulphur in order that
suffering humanity might be
benefited. BY the aid of
electricity this grave obstacle
has been overcome.

POETRY,
HOOPS FIRST POEM.

The first poem published by
Thomas Hood appeared in the Dun
dee Magazine in June, 1915. 1t was
called Sabbath Morning." and is
said never to have been included in
any edition of Hoods works. The
lines are as follows:
How few of all this hurrying crowd
Who press to reach the house of
prayer,
Who seek the temple of their God,
Seek Him whose spirit hoyers there
See yon demure and pious maid,
She surely shows devotion true:
In robes of purity arrayed,
Her bonnet, not her heart, is new
TO yonder heaving bosom turn,
Which swells with silent rapture high :;
With sacred zeal her heart must burn !:
Ah! trace the coquette's glancing eye
That grave and stately sage, indeed,
His thoughts must be on Heaven In.
tent;
But Heaven, perhaps, in him may read
a pondering wish for cent. per cent.
With nimble steps and eager haste
That pious youth with pleasure view
Who fears single moments waste
His footsteps yonder fair pursue.
Yet who shall dare presume to raise
n ain OF censure, better Grudged
Take, then, the moral of my lays:
And Judge not that we be not judged

galloped to see who he was and to
render assistance, when General
Hampton and his staff rode up
We all dismounted, and General
Hampton, STOPPING over the pros
trate form, gently raised his head
and kissed him, saying, My son,
my SON" 1t was his son, Licuton-
ant Preston Hampton, his aide de-
camp.
The little group was in full view
of the enemy, and a volley was fired
at us, wounding four Of the party,
one of them being Captain Wade
Hampton, Jr., another son Of our
noble chief, who, having been upon
the staff Of General Joseph f.. John
ston, reported for duty with his
father upon the removal of General
Johnston from the command at At
lanta. L assisted Captain Hampton
to mount his horse, and supported
him to where General Butler was
overlooking the field, short dis
tance to the rear, and, leaving him

hundred yards or so further to the
rear, where / found a surgeon taking
care of the wounded. Returning
with him at full speed we met Cen
eral Hampton riding by the side of
springwagOn, which had been found
in farmyard on the field, and which
was being pulled out of the line of
fire by some of the staff and couri-
ers. DR.. B. w. Taylor, the chief
surgeon Of Hampton's cavalry corps,
was sitting in the wagon supporting
the head Of Preston Hampton upon
his shoulders, but the gallant youth
had ceased to breathe. General
Hampton simply said, "T0o late,
Doctor" and, turning his horse, he
rode over to portion Of the field
where Lieutenant Bamherg, of
Harts Battery, was engaged with
two guns in an artillery duel with
the batteries on the hill in the rear
of the pine thicket, and we directed
their tra until after dark, giving
particular Instructions as to the num-
ber of seconds fuse, and the eleva-
tion of each gun at each discharge.
The accuracy Of this fire was at
tested the next morning, as we saw
then several exploded caisSons and
over twenty dead horses. 1t was an
ennobling and an inspiring sight TO
see this grand hero, with the kiss
from the lips of his dead son still
warm upon his own, while the other
son was being borne from the field Sc
verely wounded, thus subOrdinating
parental affection to duty to his
country.
1t remains only to say that, ow-
ing to the obstinate resistance met
with at this point, the enemy found
that they could not succeed i'm reach
ing the railroad, and also fearing an
attack the next day by Gen. w. II. +.
Lee on their left flank, and General
Malone on their right, they quietly
and nOiselessly retreatcd during the
night.
This was the last battle of any
consequence fought by the cavalry

well-nigh impossible, and both ar
mics went into winter quarters.

He had the Password.

Speaking of the password" the
New York Herald tells a good one
on a Farmers Alliance man, in the
following words:
This happened in little town in
southern Illinois not many weeks
ago. 1t is a section where the Farm
ers' Alliance is strong, and a lodge
of that organization exists i'm the
town. There is only one lodge room
in the town, and Tuesday night it is
occupied by the Knights of Pythias.
The President of the sub-alliance
came to town on Tuesday night
He had visited the town Alliance,
and when he saw the lights in the
lodge room, concluded he would 90
over and see the brethren. He gave
the proper knock at the door. The
wicket was raised and an ear
placed at it to hear the password. -
4" ploW, l rake" whispered the al
lance man. The ear was replaced
by an eye which in turn gave place
to mouth, which whispered in re-
ply, THE HI you dov and the
wicket closed with a bang. The
farmer shortly afterward met a
'brother,' to whom he told his tale
Of woe. Why, dad blame it, was
the sharp comment of the brother
them's Knights of Pythias, and
you've give 'em our password. -

Rothschild returned it to him with
interest at per cent, which of itself
amounted to El50,000, a small for
tune. AT first the landgrave declined
to take the interest, but Anselm of
the Red Shield insisted that he was
entitled to it. 1t was very profita-
Bile Investment, for the landgrave
told the story all over Europe and
made his agent famous, so that every
king and duke and little potentate
who wanted money sought it Of the
honest Anselm, who became known
as "the Court Jew"
While the Duke of Wellington was
in Spain the British government
found it impossible to convey funds
to him. Anselm undertook the duty,
and succeeded in some secret way i'm
transporting large amount of coin
from London to the dukes treasure
chest in the southern part of the pen
insula and made an enormous profit
in the transaction.
Thus was laid the foundation of
the most wealthy and influential
banking house of the world.
Anselm had five sons-Ansel M
Mayer, Nathan, Solomon, James and
Carl-who scattered over Europe and
established branches of the parent
bank at Frankfort in Vienna, Lon
don, Naples and Paris. As early as
1920 they were the greatest bankers
In the world, making speciality of
government loans. HOnOrs and
decorations were shOwered upon
them by grateful kings, and they
were recognized socially where other
Jews were not. They obtained Ii.
ties ofnobility in England, Germany,
Austria and France. A Rothschild
has been consul-geneia for the Aus
trlan Empire in London, Paris and
Frankfort for more than half q CEN
tury. The sons inherited the finan-
cial genius of their father, but those
who have studied their career in de-
tail hold that the success of the fam
lily has been due to the fact that its
great business has always been con-
Quoted with unity of aim and in
terest. The dying injunction of An
selm Rothschild to his sons was that
none of them should ever undertake
an important financial transaction
without consulting his mother and
his brothers. This continues to be
the rule of the house in the present
generation. Every serious matter
Of business is the subject Of mutual
consideration and is carried out by
the united efforts ofthe whole family,
every one of whom participates in
the profits according to his position
While the great banks are in a meoe-
ure separate and distinct, they are,
nevertheless, the same, and the fam
lily, which is now very large, is a
single firm with single interest.
They have made it rule to inter
marry, and have defied the doctrine
of the scientists who have forbidden
the marriage of relations on the
ground that it dehilitates race. A
Rothschild always looks among his
cousins for wife uncles have mar
ried nieces, nephews have married
aunts.- ". r.. Curtis, in Chicago Re.
