"pRAIsE FROM SIR RUPERT"

The Brunswick Knights of Pythias,
who are getting down to business
again alter week Of glory seeking
ana glory-winning, are indebted to
the Savannah Press for this gracious
tribute:
''The gallant knights from Bruins
wick, who bore off the honOrs of the
prize drill yesterday, feel elated over
their victory and are celebrating it to-
day in sundry ways. They are hav-
ing jolly time and last night painted
the town in cardinal hues. They did
TINA gentlemanly and knIghtlY way,
however, and made many friends by
the magnificent drill they put up. 1t
was such superb exhibition that
Major WiIcoxsOn, of the Fifth regi-
ment infantry, u. S. A, said 1t WAS
the finest and most perfect drill he
ever saw. Praise from Sir Rupert is
praise indeed" and when Governor
Atkinson heard this grateful tribute
paid to the Brunswick team he re-
marked that it was too bad such fine
corps could not be impressed in the
states service. The Savannah team
and the people congratulated the vic
tors and wish them renewed honors
and glory, for certainly the Bruins
wick boys deserve them"

SLAB FROM A BIG TREE.

1t Will Be Used as Table, at Which
Forty Guests Will Dine.
A big slab Of redwood, a cross section
cut from log IA feet inches in diam
eter, with the bark peeled off, was re-
Gently lowered into the hold Of the Ger
man ship Maria Hackfeld, at Long
Bridge wharf, San Francisco, for ship
ment to London. The wood is consigned
to William Waldorf Aston, and it is in
tended to decide a wager.
At recent dinner party given in
London some stories were told favored
with exaggeration. Mr. Astor spoke
about the big trees of California, and
one young Englishman doubted their
existence.
There were just 40 guests at the din
ner, and Mr.. Astor, to prove his asser-
ton, wagered that table big enough
to accommodate 40 at dinner could be
made from cross section of one of Cal
ifornia's trees. The wager was accepted
and the shipment on the Maria Hack
field is the result.
The piece of redwood was cut from
one of the many giant trees of Hum
boldt county. There is not a knot or
blemish in the whole piece. Heavy wire
cables were bound around it and heavy
planks protected it from being split. 1t
is about three feet thick and weighs
about 19 tons. New York Herald.

"Jacls the Clipper" Is Again Abroad In

"Jack the Clipper" is growing bold.
One day recently in Chicago he used his
shears in one of the public school build
ings, and of her beautiful black hair
that fell to her waist Irene Schuman
has but two curls left
The girl is ~ years old and is pupil
at the Bass school, Sixty-sixth and Ada
streets. She was attacked with bleeding
at the nose and went to the basement.
After applying cold water to her face
she started to ascend the stairs. when a
man sprang from behind door and
seized her. Clapping his hand to her
mouth, he threw her to the floor He
drew a pair of shear from his pocket
and with the dexterity of long practice
clipped her tresses from her head.
The girl got chance and screamed
while he was at work on her hair. The
man stuffed the curls in his pocket and
ran through the engine room into the
street.
Principal Fulton B. Ormsby heard
the girls screams and met her i'll the
hall at the head of the stairs. She was
frantic with fright, and it was some
time before she could tell her story.
She was able to describe her assailant
infinitely and said she could identify
him.
The'clipper was seen hanging about
the school by number of persons. He
was dressed in a military fatigue uni
form, and all who saw him believe that
he is a soldier. Chicago Times Herald

THE JURY AND THE FACTS,


One G.. p. Jacques, who is sufficiently
insensible to public crticism to con-
fess that he was juror in the case of
M. Lowry, writes or has had written
for him, an article in Friday morn
ing's Call, to the effect that he has
not changed his mind from It's orlgi-
nally expressed conviction which con-
demned Lowry to capital punishment.
The said q. Z. Jacques shows consid-
cradle "grit" in being the first mem
Der of that remarkable jury to &C.
knowledge over his own signature,
participation in such a verdict; but
the sober judgment of the governor of
the state is not in danger of alteration
from the afterthoughts of the positive
G. p.
Mr. Jaques states emphatically that
he has not changed his mind; which
is very complimentary to the stead
fastness of Mr.. Jaques' mental equip
ment, if not TO its verify. THE TIMES,
however believes that, when pre-
sented with tbs petition for executive
olemency, Mr.. Jaques will promptly
sign 1t, and that if he does not, his re-
fusal will be recorded as one of the
most arrant instances of pigheaded-
ness ever brought to the attention of
the public, even from the prolific
sources of petit jurydOm.
The verdict condemuing Lowry to
death on the gallows was clearly
wrong, because it gave to cIrcumstan-
tial evidence degree of credence
which is seldom given by sensible men
to direct testimony. 1t was based on
two conclusions; first, that Lowry had
malice against Burns and second that
Lowry expressed, after Burns death,
qualification that he had been killed
The first supposiUion was supported
by hearsay testimony ;the second by the
uncorrOborated evidence of irrespOn-
sibe witnesses, Acting on these
wholly insufficient grounds, the jury
found Lowry guilty without recon-
mendation. The verdict was unsup-
ported either by law or facts.
The majority OF the jurymen who
rendered this unjust Judgment excuse
themselves on this ground: During
the trial of the case, it was made APP
parent that, If a verdict of guilty was
found on cIrcumstantial evidence,
Judge Sweat had the right to make the
sentence life imprisonment. Meekly
subscribing TO this view, the jury
took it for granted that the court
would impose such sentence, and came
to the conclusion that the life OF
Lowry would not be involved in YER
dict of guilty. They were mistaken
fatally mistaken. Lowry stands in
the shadow of the gallows. Only the
governor can save him from death.
TIE following are the men who con-
demned him: f. Bowen, w. H. Lip.
trot, A l.. Metts, Jacob Hotch, w
Gign,lliatt, Percy Higginbotham
John Campbell, F. Baumgartner, Geo
Jaques, l. ID. Oldham, c. Nj. Tilton, A
L. Owens.
The only way IN which they car
remedy their serious blunder, which
trties so carelessly with human life
is to sign, in body, the petition foI
executive clemency.
Let them do so, and at once. None
of these gentlemen could enjoy mo-
ment of future peace with the con-
seriousness of LowrS's execution upon
their souls,

In the Cosmopolitan we find an elab
crate description of THE New Con-
gresslonal Library" by Mamie Belle
Mury. She writes:
"rhe topic of public lbraries-lntel-
lectual lighthouses, as some one has
called them-is in the air. Boston's
beautiful building is much discussed,
and New Workers are much interested
in the great library to be formed by
com mining the Aston, Leuox and Til
den foundations. Meanwhile the ma
tion's new pnbIc library at Washing
ton is nearing completion"
She notes that Georgia and Vermont
marble is side by side, which is sug-
gestive of the friendship now existing
between the north and south.

Collection of News" By Il. B. Cor
merry. He says: A glance at the pages
of any of the early newspapers-say of
the fifteenth or sixteenth century,
will show that the publ shers or edi-
tors made no effort to gather news TO
guide public opinion. One readily de-
Uects the reason after a moments re-
lection. Readers looked upon the
little sheets more as curious product.

graph in our own days, than as some
thing destined for the double purpose
of instructing and supplying mankind
with knowledge of the current events

world, the Gazette, of Nuremberg
which appeared in l457, was not even
called a newspaper. The appellation
Gazette was chosen because it repre-
sented the price of copy, gazette be-

that period.

In Lipplncott's Monthly, from the
pen of "Alva Fitzpatrick" we find a
recollection of the celebrated contin-
gent of Frenchmeh, who, in the winter
of 1916, sought in the wilds OF Ala
bama an asylum from Bourbon perse-
cution which followed the downfall of
Napoleon.
The historian has the following tri-
butte in admiration of the firm resolu-
ton and calm philosophy with which
the French accepted their lot: "Im
INJURED in the depths of the Tom Big
by forests, where, for several years,
want pressed them on all sides; cut off
from their friends in France; sur
rounded by ChOctaws on one side and
unprincipled land squatters on the
other; assailed by the venoms of in
sects and prostrating fevers, never
theless their native gayety prevailed.
Being IN the habit of much social in
tercourse their evenings were spent in
music conversation and dancing. The
larger portion OF them were we'll edu-
csted, while all had seen much of the
world, and such material was ample to
afford an elevated society, and the fe-
male circle was highly interesting"
Dora E. W. Spratt writes of the
Orient. "Many men, many minds
and many methods of making money
but how the Chinese economic and
live on the mere pittance they receive
as wages for skilled labor is certainly
marvellous. Ii in these United States
such wages obtained there would be
many more SUICIDES than we have.

wages received IN Canton, where peO-
pie are better paid than in many parts
