nee EXpERT WITNESS.
HIS Tendency TO BefoG a Question IN
Technical EIucid0tion.

HIS Tendency 70 betoR . question IA
Technical EIucidNtion.
one of the besetting sins Of the ex-
pert witness is the habit of tendency TO
use a lot of Latin words in describing
an injury to the Jury. In some excep-
tional cases, doubtless. this Is done
without affectatlon or for a purpose,
but we have no hesitation in saying
that in the majority Of instances 1t Is a
very good index Of the learning and ca
p1city Of the expert, on the assumption
that the more words OF this sort are
used the more probability there Is that
they cover a deficiency Of knowledge
and thorough grounding on the part OF
the user. A really able man in his
profession will always accommodate
himself to circumstances, and, realizing
the capacity OF the average juror, use
very different forms and methods OF
expression in testlfying before court
and jury than Il he were making an
address or delivering paper on some
scientific subject before an audience OF
his professional brethren.
A physician, for example. who, when
upon the stand, 10 asked to describe
something to the jury, uses all the
high-sOunding terms and expressions
he can muster, deserves to have very
little attention paid to his testimony
and usually gets his deserts. An anus
ing example OF this truth Is given in
the following account Of an actual hap
pening In an English court. 1t Is from
a little book entitled, "Hints on Advo.
cacy." published first In England:
~ discovered considerable ecchymo.

travasation Of blood beneath the cutl-
Gle. said young house surgeon In a
case Of assault at the assizes.
Baron Bramwell-I suppose you
mean the man had black eye.
Scientific Enthusiastically, my
lord.
Baron Bramwell-Perhaps. II you
had said so in plain English those gen.
tlemen would better understand you.
Precisely, my lord answered the
learned surgeon, evidently delighted
that the Judge understood his mean
ing"
This incident, which might be paral-
leled many times in court In this coun-
try, carries its own comment. What
the Jury wants IL 10 be enlightened on
disputed points, and the way to do this
is not to use purely technical express
sionS, but to explain in plain, homeiy
language. There Is no danger that in
doing so the expert will be liable to de-
tract from the general estimate Of his
own abilities but rather the reverse
will be the case.-Albany Law Journal.

vinclng that 1t Immediately stopped any
further discussion of the matter In the
press. Perhaps Mr.. Van sIclen and the
Register have forgotten this matter.
Secretary Hay declared that the
United States was not concerning Itself
in the politics of other nations or their
policies. which In no wise involved any
interest of this nation. So rldIculously
absurd Is the idea that IT is astounding
that any American newspaper should
be harplng on 1t after denial from the
state department. Is this malicious as
sault upon the administration to have
no limit?

Honor to Whom Honor Is Due,

The Democrats are doing strangely
wonderful things these days. They can
be on either side of question, or on
both Sides, just as the spirit moves
them. A Brooklyn Democratic club the
other day passed resolutions fereely
denouncing the administrations Philip
pine policy, and at the same time de-.
clared for loyal support for the army
in its task Of restoring peace and or
der!
1t is almost impossible to believe that
there are such demagogues in this
country. Men of this stripe are seem
lngly unable to see how absurdly and
atrocIously one OF these declarations
contradicts flat-footedly the other de-
claration.
How do these demagogues expect that
the army can be loyalty supported by
abuse and exaggeration which strike at
the very root Of the loyalty urged? This
question is asked by the Baltimore
American. These Brooklyn Democrats
n they know anything and have par
tIcle of good sense in their heads know
the supremacy of the United States Is
absolutely necessary. and that supre-
macy is not maintained by throwing
stones at 1t and calling 1t names
This is about the rankest piece of an
attempt to ride a horse backward and
forward at the same time on record. 1t
sets in the background all the Atkin-
sons, the organs, the Lentz's and Nc
Leans In the country. Let the Brook
lyn Democrats be crowned with the
v,orIous laurels for being able to be on
two sides OF a question at once

REFLEcTIoNs or a BAcHELoR.

When a man tells his wife Just how
much he earns he resigns his independ-
ence.
No woman who loved her husband
ever believed that he didn't look grace-
full In dress suit.
Most women put of calling on their
new neighbors until after they see how
expensive curtains they have put up In
the parlOr.
AS soon as a man knows that a wo-
man loves him he goes to her in his
troubles, but 1t isn't until he knows
that he loves her that he goes to her in
his joys.
Every man is afraid of being sick
for fear he might get delirious and his
wife might hear him say things that
she ought to know are nothing but
senseless ravings.-New York Press

That "English-Amcrican Alliance"

the board of arbitration question, re-
turned to Scheveningen today, from
Berlin. 1t is said however, that owing
TO the absence Of the Emperor, DR..
Zorn was only able to consult with the
officials Of the German foreign office
DR.. Zorn Is discreetly reticent re-
garding his mission, but it is under
stood he has obtained the Impression
at Berlin that all hope need not be
abandoned of effecting an understand
ing regarding the organization Of an
arbitration board by amalgamating
the various schemes.
1t is expected that Emperor William
will reach a decision, this week Mat
tiers, therefore, remain unchanged. and
the drafting committee will not meet
until the kaiser's decision il known.
The general desire of the conference
favors an established arbitration tri-
bunal, recourse to which shall be op-
tional. II is believed that If Germany
declines 70 participate the other DOW
ers will still achieve some such result
before separating. They may decide
upon a draft scheme, pending Ger
