At the American Bar association
meeting recently held at Saratoga
an interesting address on "Trial
by Jury" was delivered by Joseph
H. Choate. He contrssted the
system with others and said:
It is so much better that ten
guilty men should escape than
that one innocent man should
suffer. In truth, IN these days of
multiplied statutory crimes and
misdemeanors, a large majority Of
guilty men do escape by not being
found out, by not beng accused.
by not being brought to trial after
indictment, and largely, too, by
setting aside the verdict bv courts
of appeals, so that our established
public policy seems to lean against
any harsh or rigid or arbitrary sp-
plication of the criminal laws.
But, as Sir James F. Stephen has
we'll said, accepting as we must
the rule that the defendants guilt
must be established beyond all
reasonable doubt before he can be
CONVICTED, 1t is hard to see how, as
hong as three, or two, or one
honest man on the jury has a rea.
sonable doubt, tie prisoner can
justly be deprived of the benefit
OF 1t without destroying eur
cardinal rule. But the insuper.
able answer to any change, 80 far
as criminal trials are concerned, is
the question what substitute will
you provide-and none has ever
been suggested that would com.
mand the approval of q corporsl's
guard of lawyers or of laymen.

POUND THE BEEFsTEAK.
Mrs Lease Had an Amusing First
Experience on Charitable Board.

The first official trip Mrs. Mary Ellen
Lease made, after she was elected pres
1dent of the state board of charities in
1895, was to the insane asylum at To-
peka. AS soon as she arrived and it
was announced that she was there in
her official capacity the employees of the
institution who had friends they wished
appointed invariably managed to find
some fault with the one then employed
in the position their friend wished to
fill Mrs. Lease heard their complaints
one after the other till she was tired
of continual fault finding. One en-
ploye came to her and said:
Mrs. Lease, wish to make a COM
plant against the butcher
What is it?'' said Mrs. Lease.
'Why he gets up every morning at
o'clock and pounds the steak that is

$4,000 FOR A BOYCOTT.
Connecticut Fruit Dealers Claim
AGAINST United States.

Bridgeport Conn, June 2S.-A claim
against the United States for $4,000
has been filed by Mrs. Teresa Aquadro,
of this city The complaint sets up
that the woman has been greatly in
jured in business by a boycott estab-
lished against her store.
John Aquadro and his wife have for
years conducted a fruit and confec-
tionery store at No. 56S Main street. In
her petitioning Mrs. Aquadro says that
she and her husband have been openly
boycotted by persons who have stood
in front of and near their store. The
boycOtterS have persuaded customers
not to enter and have turned away so
many that now there are few who
patronize them. She alleges that her
husbands life was threatened, and that
a large stone was thrown through her
window one night, doing considerable
damage.

paid no attention to her. Failing to
get justice in Bridgeport, she sent a
complaint to the Italian embassy, from
which it was sent to the secretary Of
states office in Washington. 1t was
then forwarded to Gov. Cooke, of this
state. The governor made inquiry of
States Attorney FesSenden about the
ed High Sheriff Hawley to make an
investigation.
Attached to Mrs. Aquadro's petition
are affidavits by one Thomas Farrell,
and others, that they have often seen
persons lettering in front of the store.
They Swore that they knew the Aqua
dros had been been the victims of an
organized boycott.
Sheriff Hawley made official inquiry,
but was unable to find from the neigh
boring storekeepers that there was any
ground for complaint.
Mr. Fessenden will forward the Sher-
ifs report to the governor, and it will
in turn go to the secretary of state at
Washington, and then to the italian

Waco, Tex, June 2S.-While Lucinda

her fathers house, Walter Ford entered
and opened fire on her with a six
shooter. Both are colored. The girl
fed from the house, down the hill, into
the dry bed of Waco creek, closely pur-
sued by her madly jealous lover, who
caught her as she gained the skirt of
woods fringing the creek. The girl fell
on her knees and said: "Oh, Walter,
aHold up your head, girl, and take
your medicine" and with this he sent
a bullet into her brain. By that time
the alarm had been given, and officers
galIoped to the scene. The frenzied man
ran to meet the officers and surren-
dered, saying: II am ready now for
the stake or gallows." Ford was en-
gagged to marry the girl and her smiles
on a rival provoked the deed. He is in

DIES IN AGONY.
Cincinnati Doctors Fail to Provide
Instruments For Attempted
Qnarafion.

Cincinnati. June 2S.-After suffering
an hour of terrible agony, while nurses
and physicians stood helplessly around
her bedside, Lulu Brandy, a patient in
the city hospital, died under circurn-
stances that seem scarcely credible.
The poor woman was admitted sever
al weeks ago, suffering from an afflic-
ton which made abdominal surgery
necessary. Her emaciated condition
precluded the hazardous venture until
four days ago, when a radical 1aparo-
tony was undertaken, a number of in
ternal organs being removed.
She bore the ordeal remarkably well,
survived the resultant shock to her
nervous system, and was on the way to
recovery. quantity of pus had gath
cred in the cavity made by the knife,
and this was under drainage when the
emergency suddenly arose yesterday
where new drainage tubes and cathe-
ter were at once required. Formerly
all such inItruments were kept in the
ward, for long experience has taught
when such things are needed they are
needed badly. Under the new regime
all instruments are now kept in the
amphitheater under lock and key. The
attending physician VINO was hastily
summoned to the side of the suffering
patient did not think of the change
when he ordered the nurse to bring him
drainage tube and catheter with all
haste. Only when the nurse stated that
she would have to go to the amphithea-
ter for the articles he wanted did it
dawn upon him what a predicament he
was in. Another physician beside him
volunteered to go on the errand and
ran to the amphitheater, which lies in
a circuitous route about a half square
from K ward. Arrived at the door of
this department painting and out of
breath he found the door to the cup
board containing the instruments lock-
ed. He shouted for the man in charge
of the place, and when he arrived upon
the scene the key could not be found.
Precious moments were being lost, and
in his desperation the physician whose
only thought was for the suffering wo-
man in the ward, sent the attendant
post haste after a chisel and hammer.
The man hurried away as fast as his
legs could carry him, but he had to de-
scend several flights of stairs, and to
the doctor, who stood impOtent1y rat
Ting at the door, the seconds that in
terVened before his return seemed like
hours At last the tools came, and the
physician himself piled the blows upon
the lock until the perspiration stream
ed from his forehead from the unusual
exercise and his anxiety. The lock was
a strong one, and resisted long, but
when it was finally sprung he rushed
in and to snatch drainage tubes and
catheters by the handful and hurry
back to the ward was but the work of
few minutes. Meanwhile. however, the
afflicted woman had been suffering in
tensely. With the use of the catheter
and tube obtained under such difficult
ties she was soon in measure rel1eV-
ed For several hours she chung ten
aciously to life but shortly before mid
night her troubled spirit fed.
