Not a Party to the Case.

Many anecdotes are told of the late
Judge Cox, of the district bench OF
Washington, ID. c. One of them will
bear retelling. A young lawyer, de-
Tending a criminal before him, and
whose idea of eloquence seemed to con-
sist in constantly calling upon the Gre
ator, concluded with this remarkable
peroration: II ask your honor for
Gods sake to have mercy on my oli-
emit" The judge adjusted his specta-
Giles, asked for the papers, examined
them with much deliberation, and then
said: THE plea for mercy for Gods
sake cannot be entertained by the
court. After a careful examination oi
the papers | do not find that God is a
party to the record in this case. San

change of their calendar from the Julian
to the Gregory, the idea being to make
the Russian dates the same as those of
the rest of the world. AS it is now, Rus
sia is just ~ days behind the rest of the
world. The Julian calendar is the old

ago, and Russia is now the only country
that retains il.

Havana is rapidly becoming Ameri-

and interest in the match waXed so
warm that close decision by the um-

THE PARIS AGROUND
Led by a TredCherOuS Mist

The Passengers Removed Without nIshap and if Was Expected inc Vessel Would Be FIoated at High Tide no Worse for Accident.

Falmouth, Eng, May 21.-The Amer ican line steamer Paris, from South
 ampton, May 20, for New York, is hard and fast aground just off the Lowlands, a point two miles east of Ccverack. The vessel went aground in a dense fog. The passengers were landed safely at Falmouth It is not known to what extent the vessel is damaged. Captain Watkins reports that she lies in a comfortable position in a smooth sea. It is thought she will be fioated at high tide The crew of the Paris is still aboard the vessel. In the forward part of the ship there is a small hole. Tugs are standing by and will assist iii the effort to get her off. Further details of the disaster show that when the vessel struck the crew was summoned on deck. Passen- gers appeared in the companion way and were told of their entire safety Coffee and sti;nulants were dispensed to all who wanted them. Tn the mean time rockets were sent up and signal guns were fired. When Captain Wat kins returned from the trip ashore he learned that there was considerable water in the hold and tugs stood in readiness for any emergency.

HE CRITICISES GEN. HENRY
Former POrfO RiCaH Secretary of Sfafe attacks inc Late Governor.

San Juan de Porto Rico, May 21.-
 The Democracia, which is the personal
 organ of Senor Munoz Rivero, ex-sec-
 retary of state in the insular cabinet,
 publishes the following dispatch from
 Senor Rivero, which is causing con-
 sternation among the Porto Ricans:
 You ask why General Henry was removed from the governorship Of
 Porto Rico. Who is not aware of the reason? Who does not remember
 the extraordinary anomalies of that neurotic temperament? Who is igno-
 rant of the iIact that government in the hands of such man was Pene-
 lopes web, spun today and unspun to- morrow? Who will forget his errors, a thousand of which I was unable to prevent? The cause of his removal was these, and with blunt frankness I exposed them to General Kennedy, a member of the Porto Rican commis- sion, General Brooke and the minister of war. The reasons of his health are non-eXistent. You are aware that General Henry wished to remain in l14S 1S4d14U, anu lTOM Here WOTh6u CO that end. On March 2S I telegraphed you from Havana affirming that Gen eTal Henry's removal was a certainty After that Secretary Of War Alger went to Porto Rico, and told us we were to still have year of Henrylsn. Diplomatic formulas were used to hide the reality, honeydrops to sweetsn the bitter pill. General Henry as governor was impossible, and this caused his fall and something more, as some one took upon himselN to prove authenti- calIy. For these reasons my first tele. gram, sent from Havana, was some time in being confirmed, but now confirm it from New York, not be- cause I wish evil to General Henry, but that I should have been pained to see my island transformed into mad house.

Scott was a member Of the First Baptist church and Sunday school teacher. When he lived in Cleveland he was a prominent Mason Four years ago he was hit on the head in Cleveland by a trolley car, and since then he had at times been somewhat deranged. This worried him so that he became an inorGinate smoker, con- suming daily some fifteen to twenty cigars.

A CURRENCY SCHEME
The Republican Caucus Reaches a
 Plan by Unanimous Consent.

Washington, May 21.-It is under stood that the house republican caucus committee appointed to frame a scheme of currency reform, agreed upon measure along the following lines: The redemption of all obliga- tions of gold on demand; greenbacks once redeemed for gold to be reissued only for gold; per hitting national banks to is sue notes to the par value of their government deposit in the treasury. instead of 90 per cent as at present; permitting the minimum capacity of national banks to be S35, 1000 instead of $50.000, as at present.
 This plan is much less comprehen- sive than ardent advocates of gen., eral currency revision have urged, but it was adopted because harmonious agreement on it was possible, which was not the case when more radical measures were suggested

abandoned, and the dollar will have no words, except the customary United States of America, g and some thing to indicate that it belongs tn a special issue.
 Some difficulty has arisen over the date The monument commission de- sires to have the coins turned over to them as soon as possible, and also to have them bear the date 1900, which the act of congress says they shall bear. It is against the practice of the mint, however, to anticipate dates in 'ttis way, and there is a question also whether or not it is in violation Of law.
 Mir Roberts has not yet decided the matter. He said that the dollars will not be coined before fall, and probably not until early next year.
 Charles E. Barber, the engraver at the Philadelphia mint, IS the author of the design, and it is regarded at the treasury as an exceptionally success full one. The issue will be limited to 5O. 900 pieces,

The change meets with the general approval of the faculty, and while it may discourage some in the writing of theses, it will encourage those who are particularly well fitted. This change will not affect students in the technical or professional courses, and will probably go into effect with the next university year.
