The II good men and true who con-
victed Molineaux received SIP each for
their three months work and conline
ment, ana yet wonder and resentment
are often expressed that citizens seek
to avoid jury duty. Moreover, the ex-
pense account of the trial shows that
the state paid out s5,SSl or almost
$500 for each juryman, for the services
of detectives to dog the footsteps and
watch the movements of these II men
who We're declared by the district at
tOrney in his closing argument to be
twelve of the most intelligent and
most conscientious human beings who
ever had sat in jury box" The cold
figures rather take away from the
value of that compliment.

The great trees of California are in
danger. If the giant groves of Gala
veras county are levelled one of the
greatest natural wonders of America
will be destroyed never to be replaced
Nevertheless, it is seriously proposed
to cut them down and turn them into
lumber. Their loss would be little less
than national calamity, and we re-
joice to see that the movement de-
signed to prevent such atrocious van
dalism is being vigorously pushed
Already a resolution has been intro
duced in Congress looking 70 their sal

which they stand in a governmental
park, the park to be created for their

A New York business man, Milton
Rathbun, has just ended a fast of 81
days during which he has taken 70
nourishment but water. Neither had
he, after the first day or two, any de-
sire for food. He was about his daily
duties at home and in his office, sat at
the table with his family. slept resu-
larly. and broke his fast when die first
really felt the desire to eat. He dld
not do this on a wager, but simply to
demonstrate the power of the mind
over the body, to reduce his weight
and to improve his health. He
brought his weight down from 20i
to 1874 pounds and looks rather gaunt
and weak. but declares he is feeling
much better in every way. Even his
eyes are stronger than when he began
his fast. How much of this is fact and
how much is invented by the New
York papers, we cannot know, but if it
is all true the food producing part of
our population and the doctors may
soon he ont of business. His expert
ence will not have been in vain if it
tends to prove to people that modera-
ton in eating is necessary to health,
and that the stomach is something else
than mere appendage to the nerves
of taste. Eating is too seldom con-
sidered from the standpoint Of health.

If does not surprise people that the
cided that the Spanish force in the
battle Of Manila bay, May l, 1898. was
inferior to that under Admiral
DeWey's command. The. results seem
IL have demonstrated that pretty
clearly. though there is NJ doubt that
the American fleet would have won a
decisive victory over much superior
Spanish force. The fact had to be
judicially passed upon. on account Of
the amount of prize money involved.

for both officers and men when a
superior force is overcome than when
The victory is over an inferior force.

own behalf. but as the representative
of all the officers and men who fought
under him On that great day. 1t is his
duty to put in the largest claim the
law allows. hence his claim before the
court that the Spanish force was
superior But the court disragarded
the land batteries and held the Span

however, tidy sum for the officers
and men of the Yankee fleet. and they
deserve it all. Still it is hard to soe
why in these days prize money should
be given a victorious fleet ana not to a

The Philadelphia Call estimates that
$4,000 visitors remained in Philadelphia
during convention week besides those
who came in and went out each day
put down at 10000 In estimating the
amount of money left in the Quaker
City the Call says:
The daily average of visitors to the
city easily reached 10000. These came
on railroads, steamers, and suburban
trolley lines from the surrounding
country and nearby cities. Thousands
of people came from New York, all of
the towns and cities of New Jersey, of
Delaware, of Maryland of Western
Pennsylvania, and even Washington
or one day excursions. So, including all
these visitors, the city entertained about
100000 strangers every day during the
week.
This, naturally caused the exchange
of good coin. Hotels are richer by sew
eral thousand dollars now that the con-
VentiOn is over. The receipts of one hotel
from rooms, the restaurants and two
bars was between $4,000 and $4,000
day for five days. The receipts for
five days preceding the gathering Of the
clans were over $4,000 day. so that the
total for one hotel can be safely placed
at 100000 Four other hotels took in
SIS, 600 each: ten smaller ones $4,000
each, and twenty others $4,000 each.
Thus the receipts of thirty-five hotels
aggregated 100000 in less than one
week
Altogether 412 boarding houses were
thrown open for the convenience of Wis
itors The receipts of these houses ave-
rage at least $50 each day for five
days, making $4,000
But by far the greatest number of
visitors were those who came in the
morning and returned home in the eve
ming. More or less they all bought at
least two meals in the city and placing
the number at 10000 a day and the
average cost of a meal at so cents, the
restaurants and lunch rooms reaped a
harvest of $15OOO0 a day or $4,000
for the week
Chairman Manley, Of the national ex-
ecutive committee, said that the ex-
'penses of the national committee for
the week amounted to about $40, 600,
exclusive of carriage hire. This amount
included rent for the national headquar-
hotel bills for members Of the commit
tee. The expenses of the various state
delegations came to a big sum. Each OF
the fOrty-fve states and territories
maintained separate headquarters
| Some cost $500 to $500 a day, but the
average would be about 5000. They
| We're open for a week at a total cost OF

Many Urge Him to Stand For Vice

Campau, chairman of the Michigan
Democratic state central committee and
member of the national committee is
in receipt of many letters from various
states urging him to become a candi-
date for the vice presidency before the
Kansas City convention. Mr.. Campau
can not be called even a receptive can
didate. He declares himself only as
anxious to see the vice presidency go to
a state which can draw the most, other
wise doubtful, votes to the ticket.
Mr.. Campau's political secretary de-
clared today in positive terms that
Campau's name would be presented to
the Kansas City convention as vice
presidential candidate.
