Circumstantial Evidence.

A prisoner at Sing Sing was to have
been executed Tor murder this month,
but the date OF his death will probably
be considerably deferred now that an
other man, companion, has confessed
TO having committed the crime. ne
case Illustrates the uncertainties oil CIR
cumstantial evidence. The person in
prison was convicted after trial lasting
only eight hours. The states lawyers
believed they had sure thing The jury
had no doubt about it, The Judge
thought it was clear case. Only the
prisoner thought that he had not com
mitted the murder but his evidence had
no weight. In England, recently,
young man was sentenced to long term
10 jail for having committed highway
robbery on a woman and he mad served
two months when it was demonstrated
that he was innocent, because he had
been somewhere else when the crime was
committed. The fellow had insisted
upon his abb at his trial, but his identi-
fication by the woman was apparently
so complete that the court called the abb
story nonsense. But the judge, in the
end was forced to admit that justice had
miscarried. On the other hand, Rev. I.
O. Brown of San Francisco, who tor two
wears or more has strenuously insisted
before his Maker and numerous bodies OF
Acknowledgement, that he was guiltl'ss
OF the charges of having had improper re-
lations with women parishioners, has
now confessed that the charges were
true. He had even made many good
people believe that he was terribly
wronged man and he found congrega-
tions that, in spite of all the accusations,
were content to listen to his preaching.
In the long run, very likely, circumstan-
tal evidence grips in its tolls more guilty
than innocent men. But 1t is by no
means so sure as death and taxes

Is il an UnIucky Coin?

The belief that the number 13 is har-
binger OF i'll luck is the most deeply
rooted and widespread of popular super
stitions, says the New York Journal. 1t
is of even more general circulation than
the prejudice against Friday.
An emblem that fairly bristles with the
supposedly unlucky 10 is the 25 cent
piece, or quarter.dollar, OF the United
States.
The 10 colonies that revolted against
English rule were not handicapped in the
end by the fatefulness of the number. 1t
was England that had the bad luck in
that instance. That may be an argu.
ment for the believer in the malignity .of
the number. But to the American quar-
ter and its combinations OF 13.
In the first place, the head on the face
of the coin is surrounded by 13 stars.

A STRAY ITEM OF NEWS
CuIled from an Exchange in
Burlington, VI.

The reader may never have been in Bur-

never walk the streets Of that picturesque
city which overlooks Lake Champlain, but if

ever is, he can see at No. Io2 Hyde street,
sign, which reads, "Walter w. Spear,
Painter and Decorator" A good, honest job
this painter does, whether printing sash or
putting the finishing coat on the most med
ern structure. When our representative
interviewed him he was completing an artistic
sign, and as he moved the varnish brush
from side to side he frequently stopped and
pressed his disengaged hand in the small of
his back, for it ached and panied, and every
awkward or un ,remeditated move brought
him excruciating twinges. Our represent
alive quietly remarked, "Why don't you use
Doans Kidney Pills." "Well, replied Mr.
Spear, ~ have noticed score Of advertise.
ments about this remedy in our local papers,
but thought they were like every other specific
which had tried" "Try them, and see"
our representative suggested "if they don't
do you any good they won't do you any
harm" Some three weeks afterwards
second visit was made to Mr.. Spear, when the
following particulars were given by him for
publication: IT suffered very badly from
kidney complaint and required something to
alleviate it. A dull, aching pain seated
itself deeply in my joints. If there was any
particular period of the day when it left me

it was terrible. I was almost doubled up
with it and often had to rub my back with
INV hands in order to get some ease. If l
attempted to lift anything, far from gentle
reminders caught me in the back and
was in pretty serious condition. Since !

by Doan's Kidney Pills 1 have not had a
