SELECTING A JURY.
Several Venires Exhausted in the Mrs.
George Trial.

| Several Venires Exhausted in the Mrs.
| George Trial.
| Canton, Ohio, April 5.-The seven men
who had passed examination as to quail
| fcations yesterday, Mrs George and her
| friend, Mrs. Siddiner, were in their places
when court opened this morning. When
| the doors were opened the room filled with
rush. A man named Norris Of Hano-
verton, who yesterday sat among the
friends of Mrs. George. placed a hand
| some bouquet in front of the prisoner, ev
| identity to her delight.
| Mrs. Brown and Mrs. St. Clair, sister
and aunt of the accused, and others from
Hanoverton took seats within the bar
enclosure. The panel of - jurors was
filled and the period of peremptory chal-
lenge was at hand. The state excused a
man who said ne had formed an opinion,
but that it would not prejudice him in
the trial. Another man was called and
found to be cousin of SaXton's aunt,
but was not excused on that ground.
Then the defense peremptorily challenged
one who had emphatic views favorable
to capital punishment and conviction on
circumstantial evidence. The noon adj
iournment occurred with a juror under
examination.
The women reached the court house
ahead of the men for the afternoon ses
sion and filled more than half of the seats
in the public section. Several young wo
men stenographers of attorneys gained
entrance to the bar and occupied seats
usually filled by attorneys. The task of
securing jury occupied the attention of
the court during the whole of the after
noon and the special venire was demanded
by the state and court adjourned until to-
morrow morning to allow such a venire
to be drawn.
About % men will be called. They will
probably be from Massillon and Alliance,
west and east of here. and may be less
familiar with the details Of the crime.
Many may disqualify and as the defense
still has the right to remove -, 1t would
be no surprise If the next venire were
exhausted and the jury not completed to-
morrow.

PROFIT IN LOSS OF ITS NOTES.
One Source of Steady Income of the Bank
of England.

From the London News.
1t is q fact that, to many minds, no
doubt, must be very curious, that the
Bank of. England has always mad a
pretty steady source of profit in the loss
and destruction of it's bank notes What
it has gained of late years IN this way.
we are unable to say, but during a
period of SO years preceding 1882, the
bank had made clear profit of G1,330,-
900 from outstanding paper never likely
to be presented for payment. When the
destruction or the irrecoverable loss of
note can be proved, the bank. of
course, will always pay the money it
represents, and even when there is
doubt about it, the cash is paid on Sc
curity being given for indemnifying the
bank should the note ever be presented
The 100000 worth of paper-of 100000,
as it appears to have been reduced to-
taken from PARIS bank, will therefore
not represent a loss unless the crisp lit
tie billets have some day to be honored
at the Bank of England counter. In
that case the cash paid in exchange for
them will have to come out of the COT
fers of the plundered bank.
Many years ago a bank director lost
note for 100000. But being a man
of credit, and as there was no doubt
about the loss of the bill, he gave the
usual indemnity and got the money.
Many years after, when the man had
long been dead, the paper was present.
ed. 1t was payable on demand and had
come from abroad in the ordinary way
Of business and the sum it represented
had to be handed over, and as the in
demnity that had been given was re-
pudiated by the heirs of the man who
had given it and for some reason could
not be enforced the bank on that occa-
sion had to put 100000 on the debit side
Of the account. For once in way they
paid double honor to bit Of their own
paper
There is another story of a sum of
100000, which the bank in it's early days
for short time refused to hand over
in exchange for its own notes. They
were presented by Jew, whose asser-
ton that he had bought them was not
disputed, and whose personal integrity
was above suspicion. They had, how
ever, undoubtedly been stolen and on
that ground the bank refused to pay the
money. The Jew went out into the city
and began to spread it abroad that the
bank was shaky and couldn't cash his
notes, and, as he backed the assertion by
displaying his indisputable paper. the
assertion would in all probability soon
have caused a run on the bank and in a
few minutes a messenger came to say
that the notes would be cashed if he
would present them again.

WAR AGAINST WAR.
Right That the United States Should
Lead the Movement.

Boston, April 5.--Among the commu-
nications received by the United So
cieties of Christian Endeavor recently
in connection with its proposition for
war against war and peace by arbi
tration, are two from former United
States Presidents Grover Cleveland and
Benjamin Harrison, EX President
Cleveland wrote:
THE members and the friends of the
Society of Christian Endeavor have
never entered upon an undertaking SO
noble and so practicable as the efforts
they are now making to secure an
abandonment of war as a means for the
settlement of international differences;
and if there is any substance to the
claim that our institutions and the
traits that characterize us as a people
tending to national elevation and
Christanization. it is eminently proper
that our country should be in the lead
in any movement in the interests of
peace
EN-President Harrison's letter says:
For myself and much more for the
great body of it's citizenship, 7 express
the desire of America for peace with
the whole world. 1t would have been
vain to suggest the pulling down of
block houses or family disarmament to
the settlers on a hostile Indian from
tier. They would have told you rightly
that the conditions We're not ripe, and
so 1t may be and is probably true that
full application of the principle is not
presently possible, the devil still being
unclaimed
1T is by a spirit of love and forbear-
ance mastering the civil institutions
and governments of the world that we
shall approach universal peace and
adopt arbitration methods of settling
disputes"

COLOR FANclEs OF SPRING.
New Fabrics Designed for the Sweet q
the Year.

New Fabrics Designed for the Sweet q
the Year.
From the Chicago Chronicle.
The fabrics of spring are as soft and
delicate as the dainty attire of nature
herself on Easter morning.
Crisp, rustlng silks have had their
day. The new spring silks are all soft
and of wonderful beauty.
Satin is in favor again, and the nov
city of the moment is liberty satin
wrought with lace designs. The ex-
plaided and striped with lace inser-
tons. The lace Is appliqued upon the
satin and decorates it in transparent
bands
The most beautiful material which
has been displayed for many long DAY
is the new liberty satin scattered with
true lovers knots in guipure lace.
Charming effects may be obtained with
this lace wrought satin. A black lib
erty satin, with lovers knots of white
lace, is effective made up over a let
tuce green lining, the green showing
plainly through striped bands of black
lace insertion and lined with white silk
would also make, striking gown
These lace appliqued satins come in all
the new fashionable shades, especially
the tints suitable for evening wear.
Another new spring fabric for ones
very best gown is creped silk. The silk
has a glossy finish and is mass of
crinkles. Peau de sole and gros grain
will renew their old time popularity
this sping, and for their wearing capac-
ity these silks are unequaled.
Among the new colors are the wedge
wood blues, the fern greens, prune
which is a rich. reddish violet, and
rosewood are attractive names for a
new red with a brownish tinge.

WATSON FOR REFEREE.
He Has Been Selected for Fight Between
Smith and Green.

Smltn ana GreeN.
Special Dispatch to the Standard.
San Francisco. April 5.-Walter Wat
son, former boxing instructor of the
Olympic club and the first teacner Cor
bett ever had, will referee the fight be-
tween George Green and Mysterious
Billy Smith on Friday night. He was
selected at meeting tonight, at which
Billy Smith, George Green. Bob Nc
Arthur Alexander Greggains Eddie
Graney and Managers Gibbs and Groom
were present. From the preliminary
talk disagreement was expected, but
Watson proved acceptable to every
body. Greggains and Macarthur called
on Watson to learn if he would act and
Watson gave his consent on condition
that in case the fight went 20 rounds
he would have power to order five or
more rounds until decision would be
given. 1t was decided that under the
new law this could be done, and both
Smith and Green agreed to Watson's
conditions.
Green appears to be in the best condi-
ton that he has shown in two years
while Smith looks rudy and we'll train
ed. He carries red eye that he re-
ceived while boxing with Jeffords a few
days ago. There was some betting on
the fight to-day at 10 to 7 with Smith
the favorite, but not much money was
offered and either end could be secured
in small sums.

A FRlGHTFUL DEATH,
A Young Woman in Ohio Dies From
Leprosy.


Leprosy.
Columbus, Ohio. April 5-A special to
the State Journal from junction CITY,
Ohio. says: Hannah Carey, aged 90.
the older of the two Carey sisters, who
have been afflicted with supposed lep-
rosy for the past II years, died at their
home, three miles from here, last even
ing, after two weeks of intense suffer-
ing, the result of the dread disease in
vading the vital organs--probably the
heart and lungs. About two months
ago the Carey sisters were examined
by prominent specialist on that class
of diseases from Chicago. who dag
nosed their disease as genuine leprosy
and accordingly put them under his
special treatment with a view of allie
WAITING their condition, but without
success. The remains were inferred at
Salem cemetery this morning.
There is a younger sister. 12 years of
age, also suffering from the disease.
The mother and three sons are appar-
emily clean. The family lives on an iso-
lated farm in Perry county, which is
Stunned by all the natives: no one can
be persuaded to put foot within the
limits. There is no idea how the chill
dren became afflicted with the disease
and the only theory is that it came
from the father who died some time
ago, and was supposed to have con-
tracted it in the South during the
war.

| Ing master of Vienna, said that the
| modern successor of the old Laendler
| and the knightly torch dances, the
| waltz. was danced in Europe as UNI
! gracefully and inelegantly as possible.
| There was far too much hop and too
| little of the glide and people no longer
recognized in dancing an essential bod
| lily training and an indispensable ele-
ment of department Dancing was
considered as something superfluous,
and people only learned it half-heart-
eddy, being satisfied if they were able
to keep themselves turning first on
one foot and then on the other. At
ball at the Vienna court a former
British attache praised the Vienna
Waiting to the emperor. Yes re-
piled the monarch in French. yes, but
we no longer dance as well as we used
to dance, here in Vienna
Mr.. Strauss pessimistic opinion is
based on the old struggle of the Aus
trian and the German, the ancient his
toric fusion of the German states into
the confederation of the Rhine and the
later separation of the northern and
southern provinces under Bismarck's
wise dictatorship, the ascendency of
empire travelling away from Vienna
in the direction of Berlin.
Dancing may be rapidly declining
in grace and elegance in Vienna and
in the old world" said Mr.. Bournique,
''but that is certainly not the case here
in America and in Chicago. OF course,
looking on at a public hall, the spec
tator notices all kinds and styles of
dancing and department, but among
people of education dancing Is still an
elegant and graceful art and will al
ways be SO. In fact, dancing is more
of a fine art now than ever. People are
more interested in it and dance as well
now as they ever did Vienna to the
contrary Notwithstanding"
Mrs. Milward Adams agree with MIR.
Strauss, speaking from his point of
view. ''The ballet in Vienna" she said,
has deteriorated into a series of gym
nastic performances in which difficult
feats are attempted. There is nothing
rhythmic about it at all, while on the
contrary the French or the Italian bal
let tells a story or represents life.
Rhythm seems to me to afford a new
method of expression, a graceful out
let to internal emotion or thought.
Dancing seems to be very much in
vogue with us in Chicago at present
1t certainly doesn't seem to have gone
out of fashion, and scarcely think the
art of rhythmic expression will ever
fall into disuse''
Everywhere throughout the ranks of
society women opinion coincided on the;
subject Of the Strauss interview. Fancy
dancing is the popular foible of the
moment and grace is an essential for
its successful interpretation. Vienna
may have it's story to tell Of deca-
dence In the manner of dancing the ma
tional waltz, but here in America, and
especially in Chicago. the art was
never so valued nor so much in vogue.

DANCING GOING OUT OF FASHION.
Mr.. Strauss of Vienna Says So and He
Should Know.


When Edouard Strauss, the great
waltz composer, declares that dancing
as fine art is going out of fashion,
or as President Cleveland would
phrase it. falling into state of innoc-
uous desuetude, he voices an opinion of
a condition of affairs that may apply
to the Austrian capital or even to the
old world generally, but that, at any
rate, is hardly applicable to America,
or particularly to Chicago. Such, ar
any rate. Is the belief of persons COM
petent to decide tests of movement and
grace; such is the testimony Demon
strated in practical fashion by the
widespread fad of fancy and charac-
ter dancing which at the present hour
is raging among society women with
the virulence of contagon epidemic.
When Strauss was asked the other
day in Vienna, Are Europeans losing
the art Of dancing?" he replied as fol-
lows:
THE way the waltz is danced in
Vienna now is unworthy of u.s. The
fault lies, however, not SO much with
the dancing masters as with the pub
lie, who no longer take grace and ele-
gance into consideration All sorts of
postures are adopted in the ball room
and no one seems to know how to hold
his partner.
What, then, has come over thevien-
nese to produce this change? The cause
lies in the loss of the true old German
character, such as one saw in the days
of the first Strauss. Vienna was then
purely German town. and the Ger
mans represented the intellectual and
elegant elements in the daily life
Vienna is, however, no longer Ger
man city, but conglomeration of the
worst elements of other and inferior
races. At the court alone dancing is
be seen If o,lpht to
