JUDGE sHEFFIELD'S CHARGE.
It Was One of The Features of the Trial of
the Rustin Assaasins.

It Was One of The Features of the Trial OF
the Rustin Assassins.
One of the features OF this remarka-
BILE case was the charge of Judge Shelf
field to the grand jury Immediately
after the converting of the court.
Those who heard it characterize 1T as
one of the ablest charges ever deliver
ed in a Gerogia court house, the effect
of which has been most gratifying.
He told the jurors that the time had
come when they must do something to
check the onward march of crime in
the county, else see it become hotbed
of laWlessness and corruption. He
called to their attention number of
cases where fragrant crimes had been
allowed to go unnotlced, the grand ju-
ries not even taking the trouble tOsin-
vestigate the facts, and declared to
them that unless the grand jurors
would act in such way as to manifest
an unmistakable zeal in their efforts
to bring guilty parties TO justice, there
could be no hope for the security of
life and property in Miller county.
He said shat if check was not in
stantly put on lawlessness the home of
any citizen was liable to be visited at
any time by the midnight assassin,
who could feel sure by reason of the
indifference of successive grand juries
that he could commit foul murders
with impunity.- Savannah News.

scotIand,s Strange R;rds.

From the small island of st. Kilda,
off Scotland, 10000 young gannets and
an immense number of eggs are annual
ly collected, and although this bird lays
only one egg per annum and is four
years in obtaining its maturity its num-
bers do not diminish. Obviously such
birds must reach a great age, or they
would long ago have been exterminated.

Bishop Potter on the Saloon.

Bishop Potter, of New York, has Gre
ated mild sensation by making what
has been termed "detense" of the sa-
loon in an address before the Church
Temperance Society last Monday. The
purport of the Bishops remarks was
that the saloon is a social necessity
made 80 because our civilization has
provided no general substitute for it,
The saloon, he said, is the poor mans
club, placed thickly along the streets
because the men who cannot afford to
pay $50 to belong to a club are more
numerous than the men who can. "We
may anathematize it," said he, "abuse
it and deplore it, but it is social nee
esity. 1t exists because you and I
have given no better thing in its place.
This defense is left. handed one. We
should call it rather a severe rebuke to
those who are fighting the saloon; and
not because they are fighting, but be-
cause of the methods they have adopt
ed. There is great truth in what
Bishop Potter has said. We read daily
these denunciations of the saloon, and
oftentimes the news is brought in of
the tearing down of saloon by some
jealous Temperance advocates. But
what do those who denounce offer as
substitute for the saloon? What do
those who tear down rear up in it's
stead? We don't propose to attempt
to answer the question. It's too great
a problem to be solved off-hand But
Bishop Potter has provided us all with
food for much thought, and the out
spoken and energetic opponents of the
saloon will do well to apply them
selves vigorously and at once to the
question. n.-Phila North American.
