Barnes was largely interested in the

CAPTURED FOR BRIEF READING.
Attorney-General Griggs Approves the
Findings and Sentence by Courtmar-
tial of Capt Carter-A Kentucky
Woman Ravished and Murdered.
Atty. Gen. firiggs Scores Capt. Carter.

The opinion of Atty. Gen. Griggs in
the case of Capt. Oberlin Nj. Carter of
the army, upon which the President APP
proved the finding Of the courtmartial,
was made public on the 5th. After
dismissing certain of the minor charges
as unproven the encouragement takes
up the more serious questions involved
first considering the objection that the
charges upon which Capt. Carter was
found guilty were homogeneous. He
says that unlike the ordinary criminal
procedure the military usage and pro-
cedure permit of an indefinite number
of offenses being charged and adjudi-
Gated together in one and the same
proceeding. The statement concludes
as follows: II am, therefore, led to the
conclusion that the courtmartial was
justified in its finding of guilty upon
the charges and specifications relating
TO contracts made by Carter in 1896,
and that the finding and sentence of
the court with respect thereto, should
be approved"

The Cause of Old Maids,

A professor of natural science was
discussing In a recent lesson the proc
60 OF fertilizing plants by means OF
insects carrying the pollen from one
plant to another. In order to amuse
the class. he extended Darwin's illus
tration used In the Origin Of Species,
about the connection between cats and
clover, and said that old maids were
really the cause OF ii all.
The bumblebees carry the pollen"
he declared; "the feld-mice destroy
the nests of the bumblebees. there
fore 1t is quite evident that the more
held-mice there are In any neighbor-
hood. the fewer the bumblebees and
the less pollen variation of plants. But
cats devour feld-mice. and old maids
protect cats Therefore, the more old
maids, the more cats; the fewer field
mice the more bumblebees Hence"
was the professors triumphant con-
clusion, "old maids are the cause of
variety In plants" At this point a
