SeeinQ and KnOwinu.

An eminent lord chief justice who was trying right of way case had be- fore him a witness, an old farmer, who was proceeding to tell the jury that he had "knowed the path for 60 year, nd my feyther towld l as he heard my grandfeyther say"
 stop" cried the judge. We can't have any hearsay evidence here"
 "No" exclaimed farmer Giles. "Then how dost know who thy feyther was, 'cept by hearsay?''
 After the laughter had subsided the judge said: Tn courts of law we can only be guided by what you have seen with your eyes, and nothing more nor less:"
 "Oh, that be blowed for tale." re- piled the farmer. ''I ha got bile on the back of my neck, and never seed 'un, but l be prepared to swear he's there, dang 'un.''
 This second triumph on the part of the witness set in a torrent of hearsay evidence about the footpath, which ob tained weight with the jury, albeit the judge told them it was not testimony of any value, and the farmers party won.

OLD MEXICAN KILLED
ChrlStObaI Para Knocked Down
 by Horses
Ridden by Two Bisbee YOuthS--tyi' denCe Showed that the Boys
 Were Not to Blame.

On Saturday evening an old Mexican named Christobal Para was knocked down near the slag dump by the horses ridden by Ray Chisholm and James Weiss and died almost instantly. The boys were riding home and were not, according to the evidence, riding at a very rapid pace.
 The old man was walking along the road, and was on the opposite side to the approaching horsemen. He ap- peared to be unconscious of their pres ence and at the very moment when they were almost level with him, turned and walked in front of the the horses. The old Mexican was deaf and doubtless did not hear the noise and 50 turned right into the path of danger.
 The evidence given before the coro- ner's jury by the boys bore out the theory that the deceased was so deaf as to be unaware of his danger, and that he could easily have turned aside or even remained where he was and not have been injured. Both horses, so the witnesses deposed, hit him, turn ing him round and of course knocking him down.
 The question of fast riding in this case was carefully inquired into and the two boys agreed that they were go- ing home and could of course have rid den slower, but the pace was not a reckless pace, and the way apparently clear, the solitary pedestrian was at one side the road and they were on the other. His movement could not have been calculated upon and was uneX- pected. It was suggested, too, by Weiss that he was not anxious to run into anybody as he might be upset and injured himself,
 The two horsemen dismounted at once and rendered every assistance to the injured man, and secured the ser vices of doctor but it was too late. There were no signs of injury on the body of the deceased.
 The jury returned verdict exOnera- ting Chisholm and Weiss from all blame,

ENGLISH SHELLS FOR DEWEY.
Interesting Letter ~-OsaS.Ceptain Williams of the English steam
 CT Winston Hall.

J..J. Ligon, retired capitalist of St. Louis, has just received letter from Capt. John C. Williams, commander of the. English steamer Winston Hall, in which he gives the details about l33 cases of siX-inch shells, belonging to England, getting on board the Amer ican fleet just after the battle of Ma nila, at time when Dewey badly need ed that kind of ammunition. While Capt. Williams does not, for obvious reasons, mention the name of his in- dormant, inferentially it came from an officer aboard British cruiser in Ma nila bay. He writes:
 After Admiral Dewey had sunk the Spanish ship he found that the last shell for his six.inch guns had been fred Among other vessels anchored not far from Dewey's fleet was II. NJ. s. Immortalite. There were also two German warships lying near. Admiral Dewey wanted sand for scrubbing decks, paint, etc, so he decided to send his boats to the beach for some, and sent three boats off after dark. They were anchored close to the beach.
 About midnight the launch re- turned for the boats and found them filled. Before daylight s3 bags filled with sand and other things had been hoisted up and slowed away on Dew ey's ships. About three months after this one of the United States warships went up to Hong-Kong. Before going into dock she landed 133 cases, and each case contained one or two six. inch shells, the broad arrow of Eng land appearing on each. will leave you to infer how the shells got on your ships"

To Preserve Historical Relics.

In response to Representative Kahn
of California the government has con-
scented to transfer to the Native Sons
OF the Golden West the old adobe Gus
tom house at Monterey, Cal. says
Washington dispatch to the st. Louis
Globe-Democrat. This is one of the
most interesting historical buildings in
the country. 1t was erected originally
by the Spaniards at date which even
tradition has failed to preserve. Mr..
Kahn says ii is in n state OF excellent
preservation. Ever since California
became American territory the build
ing has Seen used as a custom house.
From the flagstaff above it have foated
the flags of three nations, Spain, Mex
leo and the United States The plan OF
the Native Sons is to preserve the old
building and to make of IL a fitting
storehouse for historical relics.

covered Part of the PrOpylRa.
News was received in New York city
recently of important archaeological
discoveries at COrinth by the American
School of Archaeology of Athens. Pro-
fessor Rufus B. Richardson, director
of the school, sent long cablegram to
The Independent detailing the work.
The excavation of the site of Corinth
was assigned to the American school
some time ago. In eXcayating the
Agora, the market or meeting place of
the people, an ancient Greek fountain
was uncovered at a depth of 20 feet.
The fountain was in splendid state
of preservation, the bronze lion head
spOuts being in their original position.
Besides this unique discovery much
valuable sculpture was uncovered. The
most important work, however. was
the finding Of enough OF the great
PropylPa, the gateway to the Pan
theon, to make possible the restoration
of the topography OF the ancient city.
So important are these discoveries re-
garded by the Greek government that
it proposes TO build a special museum
for preserving the monuments recov-
cred by the American archaologists.
