called for trial. The plaintiff in the
 case Is Dr. Joseph B. Sayles of Howe
 street and the defendant is Attorney
 David E. Fitzgerald. The suit is for
 $500 and is brought against Fitzgerald
 as the eXecutor of the estate of the late
 John Reilly, who died recently in
 State street lodging house, leaving an
 estate worth about $2000, Dr. Sayles
 attended Reillyand after his death rem
 dered to the eXecutor bill for $400 for
 his services. MT, Fitzgerald considered
 the bill exorbitant and would not pay
 it, hence the suit.
 In court yesterday morning he was
 represented by Lawyers Pigott and
 Walsh, and Edmund Zacher appeared
 for the plaintiff, Mr. Pigott challenged
 the array of jurors claiming that they
 had not been drawn in the manner pre-
 scribed by the new charter. MT. Pigott
 objected to allowing the sheriff to file the return which was of no value
 because it did not meet the require
 ments of the law. The attorney for the plaintiff cited the law on the sub- ject and proved to the court that the new charter makes it mandatory on the part of the sheriff to draw the jurors in the presence of the judge or asso- ciate judge of the court. This he had not done, and in fact 1t never has been done since the new charter went into effect Judge Dow decided that the point was well taken and dismissed the
 jury. The case may come up again on
 Thursday and will be warmly contes- ed
 Under the new city charter this law is so amended as applied to the city court to read as follows, in part: "Whenever said clerk shall issue war rant commanding any proper officer to summon a jury to appear before said court such officer shall, in the pres ence of the judge or associate judge Of said court, take out of the jury box as many papers as his warrant directs and the persons whose names shall be found written thereon shall be sum- moned before the court at the time in l the warrant named, to serve as jurors.

How Long Will 1t Last.

London, March 29.-"I can't see
how war between the United States
and Spain can be avoided" said
Sir Charles Dix to The World
correspondent last night.
"It is impossible to express an
opinion on such meagre details Of
the findings Of the Maine court of
inquiry as have been published
here, but affairs have come to such
a pass with Spain that she may
welcome war as the best means of
getting rid of Cuba. 1t has be-
come such milestone around her
neck that she must free herself
from it somehow, and to proud
Spaniards war would be the least
disagreeable way.
"I do not think mediation by any
European power is likely. Media
ton could only proceed Oh the
basis of some species of autonomy,
and to any further attempted
solution in that direction the
Cubans will not assent.
cit has been evident for the last
1S months that Spain can never
be any system of autonomy or by
force of arms regain control over
Cuba. But Spain won't give it.up
without fighting.
"Neither country has a fleet
large enough to enable 1t to obtain
decisive command of the sea
within short period. Therefore
it is difficult to forecast the dura-
ton of hostilities. l could speak
more definitely if knew how soon
the United States c:sn complete the
four large war ships she is building,
for they would exercise a decisive
influence"

William Jennings Bryan on the
Situation.

"Yes, the time for intervention
has arrived. Humanity demands
that we shall act. Cuba lies almost
within sight of our shores and
the sufferings of her people cannot
be ignored unless we as o nation
have become 30 engrossed in money
making as to be Indifferent to
distress.
"Intervention may be accom-
panied by danger aud expense, but
existence cannot be separated from
responsibility which sometimes
leedsa nation, as an individual,
into danger. A neighbor must some
times incur danger for neighbor,
and friend for friend.
"War is q terrible thing, and
cannot be defended except as q
means to all end, and yet it is
sometimes the only means by
which a necessary end can be
secured. The state Furnishes it's
own citizens by Imprisonment or
even death when counsel and
persuasion fail. War is the final
arbiter between nations when
reason and diplomacy are of -
avail.
"Spain might not resist interven-
ton. 1t is to be hoped she would
recognize the right Of the United
States to act, and Immediately with
draw from Cuba, but whether she
resents Intervention or not, the
United States must perform plain
duty.
"Spain has only herself to blame
FOR the condition of affairs in
Cuba. If she denies tc her for
mer subjects the right of war and
calls the Cuban army a mob, lei
her remember the worlds of Victor
Hugo: The mob is the human
race in misery No nation can
afford to make it's people mis-
cradle.
eff the Cubans prefer death tc
Spanish rule, it must be because
Spanish rule has robbed life of Joy
and hope. If a nation sows the
wind it must reap the whirlwind.'

The most practical plad that has
yet been suggested for giving
relief TO the cotton growers, to
protect their crops from being

inaugurated in North Carolina, by
establishing bonded ware house,
where cotton may be stored some

distillers deposit their products.
In this way the planters can store

An Arkansas correspondent of

Gates war as follows:
my father was a soldier
And fought to save the south;
MY mother said: "They'll kill you
Ned,
Said father: fShes yer mouth!'
But away he went to battle,
But didn's find it fun:
Left one arm at Manassas.
And one leg at Bull Bun.
"And shall we 20 to war again
When home is full Of charms;
To leave, perhaps, leg in Spain,
And likewise all our arms?
Perish the thought For we've done
fought
Enough from strand to strand;

Before in hell we land''
