Brief and Pithy.

An American law journal has quoted
the charge to jury delivered by GER
tain Judge Donovan as the shortest on
record. The judge said:
Gentlemen Of the jury, If you be-
lieve the plaintiff, find a verdict for
plaintiff and fix the amount. If you be-
lieve the defendant, find verdict for
defendant. Follow the officer"
But an English periodical caps this
brief charge by quoting a shorter one
delivered by Commissioner Kerr. He
said to a jury:
"That man says prisoner robbed him.
The prisoner says he didn't. You settle
it,"

THE PRESIDENTS WORKSHOP.
The Whole East End CT the Second

Used for Offices.

The whole east end of the white
house on the second. floor is given up
to public purposes-the offices of the
president, his secretaries and the ex-
ecutive clerks, the cabinet room and
the telegraph room. writes Rene Bache
in the Ladies' Home Journal For
convenience the room last named aC-
joins President McKinley's own office
and the electric apparatus which it
contains places him in communication
by telegraph with all parts of the
world, and by telephone with all points
reached by the long-distance system
A special kind of telephone, which has
no central, enables him to converse
privately with the heads of the de-
partments. The cabinet room is about
one-third as big as it should be, and
the library next to it contains an in
feriOr collection of books, consistino
mainly of Out-of-date editions Of his
torical and classical works. A glass
door across the main corridor, which
runs lengthwise through the white
house, shuts off the offices described
from the sleeping quarters of the fam

ORIGIN OF WOMAN.
HindOO Legend Which Pays a Rare
Compliment to the Fem
mime Sex.

In oriental countries women are
generally regarded as the interiors of
men, yet, according to a Hindoo le-
gend, this is the proper origin of the
sex: Twashtri, the god Vulcan of the
Hindoo mythology, created the world.
But on his commencing to create
woman he discovered that with man
he had exhausted all his creative ma
terials, and that not one solid element
had been left. This, of course, greatly
perpleXed Twashtri, and caused him
to fall in profound meditation. When
he arose from it he proceeded as fol-
lows: He took the roundness of the
moon, the undulating curves of the
serpent. the graceful twist of the
creeping plant, the light shivering of
the willow, the velvety softness of the
flowers, the lightness of the feather,
the gentle gaze of the doe, the frolic-
someness Of the dancing sunbeam, the
tears of the cloud the Inconsistency of
the wind, the timidness of the hare
and the vanity of the peacock, the
hardness of the diamond. the sweet
ness of honey, the cruelty of the I'll
ger, the heat of the fire and the chill
of the snow, the cackling of the par
rot and the cooling of the turtledove.
All these he mixed together and
formed woman. Then he presented
her to the man.

claims are made but a great many do not

Major uses the best materials ever discovered
and other manufacturers do not use them be-
cause they are too expensive and do not allow
large profits Mr.. Major tells us that one of
the elements of his cement costs So. 10 pound,
and another 81 65 gallon, while large share
OF the so-called cementS and liquid glue upon
the market is nothing more than 16-cent glue.

cases. altered slightly in color and Odor by the
addition OF cheap and useless materials
Majors Cement retails at 10 cents and %
cents bottle. and when dealer tries to sell a

only object is to make larger profit.
The profit on Majors Cement is as much a
any dealer ought to make on any cement. And
this Is doubly true In view of the fact that each
dealer gets his share of the benefit of Mr. Ma

COERCED A CORPORATION.
New Jersey Woman Compelled a.
Railway to Give Her a
Special Train.

Miss Rose Heritage, of Gloucester
City, n. j., is probably the only
woman in the country who has ever
dictated to a big railway corporation
and, perhaps, the only woman who
has ever had the distinction of rid
ing on special train all her own. A
few days ago Miss Heritage went to
visit Mrs. William Sayer, of Clayton.
She took an evening train on the
West Jersey and Seashore railroad
for her home. The train had been
delayed by slight accident and was
over an hour late. After getting
aboard the conductor informed her
that she would have to change cars
at Glassboro, as his train did not stop
at Gloucester, and she could take the
next train in from there.
Miss Heritage protested, but final
ly yielded, and, after waiting till
nearly ten o'clock. she inquired Of
the operator at the station when the
next train would arrive. She was
told that the train had left before
she stopped, owing to the lateness of
her train. She insisted that he tele-
graph for an express to stop for her,
but this was refused, the officials
saying she could GO to a hotel at the
company's expense and leave for
home in the morning.
Miss Heritage's mother was ill at
home and she was anxious to move,
so she refused, saying the company
was responsible for her being put off
and they would have to take her to
Gloucester. After some further con-
troversy Miss Heritage was told to
wait a few minutes. and in short
time an engine and car pulled up.
She got aboard and in 13 minutes she
was landed in Gloucester and in a
few minutes was at her mothers bed

Report OF the Wisconsin Dairymen' S
Association

We have received from the secre-
tary a copy of the last annual report
of the Wisconsin Dairymen's assOcIa-
ton containing the proceedings,
papers, addresses and discussions at
the convention held in Waterfowl last
winter. to which is added very use
full and complete index, thereby more
than doubling the value of such
book.
The association was organized in
1872, being the second oldest in the
United States. and the present is its
twenty eighth annual report. Includ-
ing the index there are 222 pages and
every page has something on it which
cannot fail to be Of interest to dairy
men. 1t could not well be otherwise
when such men as Ex-Governor Hoard,
H. G. Adams, G.. P Goodrich Profs.
Henry, Hacker (of Minnesota, Far
rington, Vol, Carlyle and others
were on the program, names too we'll
known in dairy circles to make ex-
tended comment necessary. The
association was also exceptionally
fortunate in the new names added to
its list of speakers. Especially worthy
of mention are the papers by Mrs.
Addie F. HOWE, a successful dairy
woman of Elm Grove (near Milwau-
kee), on ''Developing the Dairy Cow"
by E, G.. Bennett, of Iowa, on ssWater-
ing the Dairy Cow" and Will Thomas,

A copy of the report will be sent to
each member OF the association, who
has paid the annual membership fee
of one dollar, and to others who may
care enough for it to send ten cents to

Milwaukee will have its delegation in

between Milwaukee and Kansas City, but
from the amount of money that the for

Twelve Men Selected TO Try MoIIi,
Harris for Murder.

hHTf1s Tor hurter-
The trial of Mollie Harris, colored,
charged with the murder of Alice Queenan,
also colored, was resumed to-
day in Criminal Court. No. !,
before Justice Clabaugh. Very soon aft
er the court convened the jury was COM
pleted. 1t was composed of the follow
ing: Robert Petit. Charles Phillips. Owen
L. Earnshaw. F. Y. Waltemeyer, A S.
Howard. Richard Green. William Berry.

The first witness called by the Govern
ment was Mary Stewart. who was with
Alice Queenan at the time she was killed.
The witness testified that she and Alice
and that they were striving to induce the
Harris approached. She made an effort to
have Smoot go away with her. and the
witness and Alice Queenan took hold of
him to prevent this.
A quarrel ensued between Alice and the
defendant. Words led to blows, and when
they separated the witness testified that
she heard Alice say I'm cut" Nav
Stewart stated that she saw Mollie Harris
strike Alice in the breast, but that she did
not see a knife in her hand a few min
utes after the cutting some one standing
near accused Mollie Harris of having a
knife, but she denied the accusation and
said she might be searched.

A new ELECTION ORDERED
The Decision i'm the Mutual Fire
Insurance Case.
The Court Sustains the Claim That
Holders of Certain Proxies Have
Right to NOte-Litigation Which
Has Created an Unusual Inter
est i'm Local Business Circles.

Justice Cole. today announced his decis-
Insurance Company election case. The
opinion in effect, declares, void the cleo
tion held on January 10 last, and in conse-
quence orders a new election.
The trouble grew out of action taken at
a recent meeting of the policy holders in
the Mutual Fire Insurance Company, de-
claring that proxies, dated later than Janu-
airy 1, 1900, could not be voted AT the cleo
ton held on January 10.
Exception was taken to this action, and
Richard H. Johnson. and many others,
representing the policy holders, applied 10
the courts. late on the day of the election,
while it was in progress, asking that
Samuel H. Walker, the president and
others. be restrained from declaring the re-
suit.
The restraining order was issued by Jus
tice Barnard and the count of the ballots
was stopped. until the manner of conduct
ing the election could be investigated by
the court.
Since then the Board of Managers of the
Mutual Fire Insurance Company held a
meeting ana removed MT. walker from tne
presidency. This act. Justice Cole held
was illegal, and decided that Mr. Walker
is still the president of the company.
In disposing of the matter Justice Cole
went into the question in detail. 1t had
been the custom Of the company for many
years, he said TO permit the voting of
proxies at all general and annual elections.
This in itself, he said was an invitation
and a privilege given policy holders to
absent themselves from such meeting
The power to do this, however. was ere
ated by themselves and it is clearly ille-
gal unjust. and unreasonable for the few
people who usually attend such meeting
to undertake 10 take this power and privi-
lege away from them. not only without
their consent, but in the face of their di-
rect protest. 1t was shown by evidence
submitted the court stated. that the resO-
luton resembling the power to vote proN-
les, shut off over 5000 policy holders,
which was a large majority of their whole
voting force. The complainants were rep
resented by Samuel Maddox and r. Ross
Perry & Son. and the defendants by
Messrs. ID. W. Baker. Lambert & Lambert,
and Worthington, Heald & Frailey.
