CURLY-HEADED MEN AS JURORS.
Lawyers Dislike Them Because They
Arc Not Easily CONVINCED.

1t is not generally known that there
ls a well-defined prejudice against
curly haired men when it comes to
choosing a jury to try criminal cases,
says the New Orleans Times-Democrat.
The prejudice, when it is manifested.
comes from the defense. When asked
to explain the objection to curly-haired
men, prominent practitioner said:
When l was just starting my legal
mentor inculcated that idea to me, He
said that curly-haired men had almost
invariably been the pampered darlings
OF their parents and in their youth had
been so used to having their own way
that they had come TO believe that every
body on earth was wrong except them
selves. In this way the seeds of oppo-
sition were sown, and when they grow
older they make point to disagree with
everybody and everything. If every
body else on the jury votes for acquittal
they vote for conviction as a matter oil
course They live on combat and are
as stubborn as the days are long. a
curly haired man never gets on jury
when am defending man if can see
him in time"

TEN of electric tremways to be adopted
in Berlin is lying in the kaiser's cabinet
for final decision. The plan of the lines
has already been approved, but the sys-
TEN of conducting the current has not
been settled. The emperor has there

AS soon as he has pronounced his hoe

with the largest system of electrical
tramways on the continent. The Ber-
lin Tramway company has already COM
pleted its preparations, the lines are
laid and the cars are ready; only the

ENDS IN A FIASCO.
Sharkey-Corbctt Fight Awarded to
Sharkey on a Foul - Bets De-
cIared OFF by Refereee.

New York, Nov. 23. = The Sharkey-
Corbett fight, which was witnessed by
the largest and most representative
gathering of sporting men that ever
congregated to see ring contest, end
ed in most disgraceful fiasco Tuesday
night at the LenoX Athletic club. Cor
bett had all the worst of the encounter
when one of his seconds, Connie" Nc
Vey, jumped into the ring, appealing
and the referee, Honest John" Kelly,
had MO alternative but to disqualify
Corbett and award the bout to Sharkey
When Corbett realized what had oc-
CURED he was furious with passion, and
rushed at McVey. Had he caught the
latter there is no telling what Corbett
would have done in his frenzy, but the
police were on hand and rushed be-
tween the men, thus avoiding a scene
which would have added to the dis
graceful exhibition. Just what effect
the untimely incident will have on the
boxing game in this vicinity in future
cannot now well be gagged, but that it
will injure pugilism in this city is be-
yond question. A close estimate placed
the attendance at 5000, and it was
learned that the receipts exceeded $45,-
600.
McVey's interference was absolute
ly inexcusable, and the referee, believ-
ing that there was "job" in McVey's
action, took it upon himself to declare
all bets off.

Millions of Fish Eggs.

Whitefsh eggs have begun to arrive
at the United States fish hatchery in
Duluth. and will continue arriving for
some time. 1t is expected that the
total hatch of all sorts of eggs this
year will be about 200, 600, 900, of which
nearly all will be whitef1sh, wall-eyed
pike and trout of the various varieties.
This is far larger number than has
ever been handled in the place before,
and more than is to be found in many
of the larger hatcheries of the country.
During the summer considerable
money has been spent in building trout
ponds and making other arrangements
for taking care of larger number of
eggs. and the winters work is expect
ed to show better results than ever.
