According to the Boston Herald, 1t has been
stated. and probably not without truth, that
the jurors agreed TO convict because they
were hungry While certain members OF
this famous twelve deny such to be the fact,
it Is nevertheless true that all OF the dozen
were hungry, and all desired to set away
from their tedious and monotonouS duty.
Officers OF the court state that the failure to
order q dinner 'or the twelve arguing men
was an oversight and was altogether unn-
territorial on the part Of the interested par
ties; yet 1t Is certain that the rumor which
circulated and gained much credencc
throughout the jury room that there was
nothing more to eat until verdict was ar
rived at hnstened the decision Of some OF
the doubtful ones. The last OF the twelve
to hold out for a disagreement remarked as
he cast his last ballot for conviction. May
God forgive me and have mercy on my soul
II | have done wrong" The verdict came
as a surprise to almost everybody, the gen
e;al opinion OF those who had read the evil
dcnce being that the jury would either ac-
quit or disagree. 1t was one of the maNims
OF Lord Stowell that "a dinner lubricates
business" and Lord Byron tells us:

Make Their Report.

OF the total number of persons who Sc

Kidney Pills and have reported have
either been entirely cured or greatly
benetited; quite number of those who
reported live in towns outside of Omaha.
They report that DR., Hobbs Sparagus
Kidney Pills have been creating quite n
sensation in their towns; in fact we
have strong reason to believe wherever
the omaha newspapers circulate, the
public test that DR.. Hobbs has been
making in this city has been closely
watched.
From the large number of letters re-
ceivcd daily from persons testing these
pills. they indicate clearly the interest
being taken by men and women who
have suffered for years with distressing
and dangerous kidney and kindred all
ments. which doctors have been unable
to cure, and who are rejoiced to know
that there has at last been discovered an
absolute specific for their complaint.

The theaters Of this city, in view OF the
financial depression that prevails here, nave
been compelled to reduce expenses, and in
view of that fact they have decided to re
duce the personnel of their orchestraS IL
consequence OF this condition of affairs the
orchestra in Boyd's theater has been reduced
to four men, and the Creighton theater con-
templates a reduction to seven men. The
welfare of orchestral music depends very
largely upon the patronage of the theater5,
as by It, and by 1t only, do the best muSi-
clans earn sufficient livelihood to make 1t
worth their while to live in this city. The
musical progress of the city, in comparison
with other cities, depends very largely upon
the orchestral ensemble which can be OBJ
tanned here, and the theaters are the sole
regular employers Of orchestral players. The
loss of these musicians would impoverish
the musical resources Of the city and re
duce the chances of its future development.
In view Of the Transmis5issipp Exposition
and the present interest in orchestral music
it Is to be hoped that the theaters and the
public will do ali in their power to keep the
musicians here and to afford them romunern-
tive employment. HOMER MOORE.
