JURORS COMPLAIN ABOUT PAP.
But the Practice or Our Courts IL Not Likely
to ne Changed.

~ no =
Some Of tho jurors who were summoned for the
present Trial Term in the crimina branch Of
the Supreme Court have been dissatisfied with
the way in which their pay is computed, and on
Nov.,o3 they sent a petition to the Court, asking
that an allowance DO made them for each day
on which they were ordered to appear In court
Justice Fursman informed them that they
would be paid according to the law and practice.
Later Hiland Flowers Of 1877 West Ninety
sixth street, one Of the petitioners, sent q letter
to the Court asking Justice Fursman to decide
what should be considered as attendance.
According to the practice Of the authorities
in this country. payment is made to the jurors
only when they actually servo in court and an
swer to the roll-call. When a jury is complete
the presiding Judge asks counsel when they
think the trial will end, and on receiving their
answers he excuses all Jurors not taken for tho
it is thought the trial Will end. The jurors re-
ceive no compensation for the intervening days,
and II q miscalculation has been made in the
estimate OF the length of the trial and 1t is not
finished on the day on which the jurors
are ordered to report, the roll Ia not called
later date, In such cases they do not get pay
for reporting the first time. Sometimes, too,
the Judge thinks a case will end and 1t doesn't.
In such casea the roll 10 called and the jurors
stay in court with nothing to do. This is con-
sidered actual attendance, and pay is allowed
for 1t. Accepted jurors sometimes get Off. after
sitting a few minutes, by an unexpected plea of

made the rounds of the cells. they saw Con
Fitzgerald, with. q slungshot made of a

locked Jacks door. and both men were waiting

escape. They were tied up BY the keepers and

DANGEROUS USE OF
Strong PURGAIVES.

Pills and purgatives which act
quickly upon the bowels, irritate
and destroy the mucous Innings
of the stomach and bowels. A
continued use of such remedies
inhames the stomach and bowels.
The use of the genuine imported
Carlsbad Sprudel Salt is -ighly
recommended because it's action
is due solely to its solvent and
stimulating properties, without
irritating the stomach. Best c
suits are obtained when outdoor
