GOES THE ROUNDS.
For Half a Century a Letter Has
Been On It's Travels.


Worcester (Mass.) Gazette: Prob
ably no letter in the whole world in
all time has travelled for so long as
that of the class of "A of Yale college,
Some so years ago some Of the MEM
bers undertook to keep a letter cir
culating, each man receiving it adding
whatever he considered would interest
the others, and when the epistle got
around to him again removing his
previous effort and replacing it with
new one. So the letter went on it's end
less way, year after year. and today it
is still moving, telling to the aged men
who are left of the class of IA what
their fellows are doing, of their sue
cesses and disappointments, of deaths,
too often. as the class dwindles away
before the ruthless hand of Time. Not
all the survivors are members of the
chain. but the letter-writers are so
we'll distributed that almost all of the
classmates are heard from and hear of
the new contained in the letter.
At present the letter makes a long
journey in the interval between it's
arrival to any one man. A Worcester
member is John A. Dana. He has just
received the regretful comments of his
classmates at the death of their old
friend at college, Colonel John w.
Wetherel, with comments on the news
paper biography which Mr.. Dana had
inclosed at his last sending. The letter
had gone from Worcester to Lee, Mass,
thence to Chicago, to Minneapolis, to
Pasadena, Call Birmingham, Ala;
Cape May and another New Jersey
town; Plantville, Conn; Pittsfield,
Somcrville, and back to Worcester.

IN THE HOUSE.
Resolution Prohibiting Coal and War
Material to Spain.

! Washington, April 21.-The consider
alton OF the contested election case of
Patterson VS.. Carmack, from the Tenth
tennessee district, was interrupted to-
day to allow the passage without di-
vision of the joint resolution to author
ize the president, in his discretion, to
prohibit the expectation of coal and
other war material.
The measure is considered of vital i'm
portance TO prevent the shipment of
coal to Cuban, Porto Ricon and ether
ports where it could be used by Spain.
The speaker signed it just before the
house adjourned.
Two resolutions of inquiry reported
by the foreign affairs committee were
adopted. One called upon the president,
II not Incompatible with the public in
terest to transmit all correspondence
between Consul General Lee and the
state department, between May 1, 1896.
and the present time.
The second requested him to inform
the house what steps. if any. had been
taken to protect the lives and property
of the 300 Americans left by Consul
Brice at Matanzas. In reply to an in
curry in relation with the latter reso-
luton, Mr.. Adams acting chairman of
the foreign affairs committee. ex-
planned the steps taken by the govern
ment to convey Americans from Cuba
and the warnings given. But, he said.
few Americans took advantage of the
offer of the United States They did not
seem to realize their full danger, al
though officially notified. Mr.. Adams
said our interests are being looked af-
ter by British consuls, and the Incl
dent at Havana a few days ago, when
an American was arrested and immedi-
ately released upon the demand of the
British consul, showed that the rights
OF our citizens were being carefully
guarded.
Mr. Henderson said he was willing
that the resolution should be adopted
simply TO show that everything was
being done for the protection of such
Americans as remained upon the island.
The bill to restore Mrs. Nellie Grant
Sartoris to American citizenship was
passed.
Mr.. Kirkpatrick (Rep., Pa then
called up the Tennessee contested cleo
ton case.
Messrs. Kirkpatrick, Grosvenor and
Brundige Oem.. Ark spoke on the
case today, and vote will be had at
$50 o'clock tomorrow.
AT 5:45 p. m. the house adjourned.

SPANS WEAK POINT.
Neglect to Lay In Sufficient Provis-
ions and Goal.

London, April ga dispatch to the
Daily Telegraph from Barcelona, via
Paris, says:
Grave apprehensions are entertained
in the highest government circles that
the issue of war may be decided, not
by valor and enthusiastic and logged
perseverance, qualities of which the
Spaniards possess an abundance. but
by reserves of coal and victuals. of
which they have made but a scanty
provision in Cuba. 1t appears that in
respect of coal in particular they are
worse off than they have hitherto i'm
agined.
The Spanish government, believing
down to the very last moment that
peace would be preserved through the
intercession of the pope and powers
neglected to Law in sufficient provision
of coal, despite the representations
made to them by one or two far-seeing
naval officers. Besides this, it is be-
heved they never once inquired of the
British or other neutral governments
contraband of war. The result is said
to be d state of things which may be
fraught with unpleasant surprises and
bring hostiiities to premature end.
Those in the secret were anxious to
overthrow the cabinet on other grounds
before the beginning of war, for patri-
otto considerations forbade a public dis
cussiOn Of the country's weak point on
the eve of hostilities. The short time
allowed for the deliberations of parlia-
ment rendered this intention difficult
Of execution, and the Liberal cabinet
which conducted the negotiations will
be allowed TO bear the responsibility for
the results during a conflict This
alarming story comes from an excel
lent source, quite above all suspicion,
even, Of hostility to the cabinet.
IF, as 1 fear. events should demon
strate its truth, the close of the war
may also be the end not only of the
Liberal government, but of much else
which is infinitely more worthy of re-
'pect than any political party. and
which enjoys the sympathy of all Eu-
'ope.
Il hear that extreme depression pre-
rails among the few who are initiated
nto this painful secret"

WOMEN RUNNING THINGS.
Idaho Woman Tried By a Jury of
Women.

Idaho Woman Tried By a Jury of
Women.
An interesting case, in which a
woman was tried by a woman jury,
was tried before Judge Newman at
,Weiser, Ida, few days ago.
Mrs. George L. Smith had done sew
ing for Mrs. Abshire for which Mrs
Abshire was to give Mrs. Smith some
fruit jars in payment Mrs. Smith on
a certain day went to Mrs. Abshire's
place of abode after the jars and was
| Informed by the latter that the jars
had been given away. Mrs. Smith, de-
compence, took a tea kettle. a frying
pan and two fiat irons in lieu of the
jars. Mrs. Abshire attempted to pre-
vent the removal of the property,
whereupon she was slapped by Mrs.
Smith. whereupon Mrs Abshire pro-
ceeded to Weiser and had Mrs Smith
arrested for assault whereupon it was
considered meet that a jury of women
should try the case.
Sheriff Kerfoot duly summoned
number of our most intelligent ladies
and the selection of the jury began,
and was observed with much interest
Have you formed an opinion in this
case?"
4 have formed an opinion. yes.'
Upon what grounds do you base
your Opiniion?"
Nothing. 1 have heard nothing
about the case, but have formed an
opinion"
We take the juror"
Another stated that she had formed
such an opinion that she did not. think
she could try the case fairly, and was
excused. Some are mean enough to
lnslnuate that several who were pre-
emDtorlly challenged went out a little
indignant.
At $50 the jury retired for delibera-
ton and the public could ONLY in
dulge in conjectures as to the animated
discussion of legal points that might
ne going on in the jury room between
dlHerent Jurors. In about half an
hour rap was heard on the inside of
the jury room door, the jury might be |
getting hungry but the jury only
wanted to know what they were to do !
II they were evenly divided, and also |
plalntlVely asked if they could not |
IeaVe the matter to either Mr.. Ayers. or.
Mr.. Mitchell. They were told that
unfortunately Ayers or Mitchell were !
not the jury and they would have to
render verdict themselves. Shortly
after Mrs. l. T. Smith sent I'M q nice
little lunch for the jury and after this
3 IdteIul reireshment they attacked the
matter IN hand with renewed vigor.
Al 9;5O the announcement was made
that a verdict had been arrived at and
the jury filed into the court room the
handing in a verdict of NOT
guilty. accompanied by a recon-
mendation that the court proceed to
severely reprimand" both the prose-
cutting witness and the defendant.
