to the Federal Court room.
A few minutes later Judge Bradford
had taken his seat ON the bench and
Clerk Smith called the roll, every juror
answering to his name.
At the conclusion of this formula the
clerk asked if they had any bills to pre-
sent and Foreman John 5. Mullln an
swered in the affirmative, at the same
time handing Mr.. Smith ten bills OF in
dictment, seven OF which were true bills
and the remainder had been ignored.
At the request of United States District
Attorney Lewis G. Vandegrit the jurors
were then discharged.
Ever since the jury has been in session
the It time on Tuesday OF last week, a
number of sensati ms were promised and

officials and requisition papers be taken
out for him.

When it became known on the street
that both United States Senator Kenney
and }. Frank Alice had been indicted,
the utmost surprise was manifested and
many were the different opinions ex-
pressed in reference to the two men and

Exhnnstion and Loss of wind.

1T is the general Impression among
athletes that exhaustion and Gloss Of
wind" are due to the inability to consume
sufficient oxygen and exhale rapidly
enough carbonic dioxide says the Popu-
lar Science Monthly. When the muscle
is moving rapidly and forcibly it is true
that It demands more oxygen and gives
off to the blood more carbon dioxide than
when at rest. When a man Is running as
fast as he can make his limbs move he Is
able 10 keep up the pace but for short
distance, unless, like the hunter hare he
runs to his death. On account Of the
forced, vigorous and "a pid muscular ac-
ton in this case, the poisonous materials
are thrown into the blood, TO be carried
to all parts of the body-muscles, nerves,
brain. The heart Is affected by this pos-
on through the nerve cells controlling that
organ; the muscles Of respiration are sim
narly disturbed. The painting, distressed
efforts Of breathing, sidelong tumbling
anhelation and final semi-consciousness OF
the hunted stag or hare are a good ex-
ample Of acute auto-intoxication ending in
death. This latter deplorabie condition
Is not unknown among the annals Of hu-
man strife for athletic honors, even with
our present advanced knowledge Of physi-
ology.

Matinee gt;iris Ara Sad

There are bueketsE of bitter. burning
tears being she'd at many an otherwise
happy hearth tfis5 week because of the
marriage OF Nat c. Goodwin to Maxine
Elliot The matibee girls have gone into
mourning of the }da rkest hue, and pocket
handkerchiefs with borders an inch deep
have been In great demand ever since
the knowledge of the event became pub
lie property. Not that Goodwin was ever
essentially an idol of the matinee girl
he is too good an actor for that-but since
nearly all the rest of them have drifted
beyond the pale, many of the sweet young
things, who buy benbons and talk shop
at the afternoon performances. have
been inclined 10 fall back on him as n last
resort After all. Goodwin is clean shaw
Ell and rather good looking; is reputed to
drink hard and do other naughty things
spends his money like water and has
many other claims to the heart of any
self-respecting matinee girl. And now
he has spoiled 1t all by getting married.
Truly. it is touching how, one by one, like
soldiers on the field of battle. the idols
do fall, and in falling show feet of pro-
nouncedly clay color. With l.. II. Soth-
ern inconsiderateiy married. James X
Hackett in the same boat, and John
Drew's mustache irretrievable gone. what
is left to these poor children but con-
vent? And now, just as they were be-
ginning to send mash notes and violets TO
Nat Goodwin, he has shown his contempt
of their wises by getting married. 1t is
heartrending. Who can tell how soon
