It was regarded as a great triumph won for human liberty a couple of cen turies ago, when the principle was es- tablished that all trials of persons ac- cused of crimes and misdemeanors must be held with open doors. The famous "Star Chamber" court of the Stuarts was typical of tyranny. But years of experience under free insti- tutions have revealed the fact that in a very large number of cases a trial in open court has hardening and degrad- ing influence on the persons accused, and that with young people of previous good character some choice might well be allowed as to whether the trial should be open to the public or con- ducted in the presence only of the court officials, the necessary witnesses and attorneys. The latter view has ob- tained in the conduct of the special court established about a year ago in Buffalo for the trial of juvenile offend CTS. One of the first acts of the pres ent police justice was to announce that children would be tried behind closed doors. No protest appears to have been raised, and the plan is said to have been most successful.

What is the Amazon's favorite weapon? A Chicago newspaper con- piles table showing the character of weapons used by women in several hun dred cases of assault and battery before the police courts during the past year. AS was to be expected, the broom han dle is most used, being chosen by 1S6 belligerent females. But this may mean only it was the handiest, not the favorite, weapon. Hairbrushes and hat pins figure conspicuously, and the roll ing-pin is deadly in many cases. The most interesting is the case of a woman who went into battle with a nursing bottle and smashed it over her antagon- ist's head All this seems ridiculous. I but there is some satisfaction in the thought that women do not employ the knife or tue pistol in settling their differences. In this respect, at least, they can claim more common sense and humanity than men.

A Great Boon to Humanity.

BioXide of sodium seems to be one of the greatest boons to humanity which the century has given-that is, if the reports as to the recent demonstration of it's qualities before the French acad- emy of science prove to be substan- tiated.
 It is said that this product possesses the property of renewing oxygen, the life-sustaining principle in air. as well as of absorbing carbonic acid as it is given off. Two men with q new ap- paratus containing biOXide of sodium are alleged to have put on diving dress es from which all air was excluded, and remained for the space of two hours under these conditions. Subse- quently they remained under water for half an hour under similar conditions.
 The availability of this new means of vitaliZing air in the case of sub marine craft seems obvious. But its use is likely to be very extended, en- abling firemen to penetrate the densest smoke without danger of suffocation, and miners to pursue their calling safe ly, by depriving fire damp" and nox- ious gases of their power to work harm and death.-BOston Globe.

Effort has been made for some time to classify hydrophobia among diseases of the imagination. Even at Pasteur's laboratory faddists insisted that the wild-eyed children brought there for treatment after being bitten by wolves. dogs or cats were the victims of hallu- cination. In Chicago a horse bitten by a COW developed blood poisoning, ac- companied with all the symptoms of ra- bies, death resulting after horrible suf- fering. h the case of the horse it can scarcely be claimed that the creature died from dread caused "by associa- tion of ideas or nearing hydrophobia talked about" The truth is that rabid animals whose dangerous tendencies are rarely discovered until too late for precautions are allowed too great lib- erty among human beings. The in creasing practice of permitting dogs to be public familiars in crowded cities is full of peril. The torture to which they are constantly exposed and frequently subjected is of itself calculated to in- duce insanity, whose consequences are not limitable to their own species Dis semination of disease by all varieties of animal life is now so well estab- lished in scientific annals that cranks and egotists with animal fads must be required to keep their pets within safe guards for the protection of the com mun1ty as well as of the pets.

FOUND DEAD IN 4 WELL
Dreadful Fate of Poor Mrs. St. Clair in
 Los Angeles
BURIED ALIVE AT HER OWN DOOR
Disappeared Nov. Fist and was not found until Dec. lst, in a Horrible Decom. posed State

To be buried alive and suffer slow death by suffocation-such was the doom of Mrs. Mary St. Clair, of No. 174 Hewitt street, Los Angeles.
 She disappeared on the night of Mo- vember 21, during the storm that ragged and not till Dec. l was her awful fate known.
 In the afternoon her horribly de- composed body was dragged from de- serted well in front of the hovel where she and her husband lived.
 Edward St. Clear, the husband of the dead woman, is a hard working machinist employed at Llewellyn iron foundry. He and his wife had eaten supper together on the night of the tragedy. About 8:30 o'clock the woman went outside, and that was the last time she was seen alive.
 THE DEATH TRAP.
 About ten feet to the left of the front steps of the house, and immediately in front of the building stands the old well, forty-three feet deep. It has been unused for years, and was covered with a solid board top. The side walls project above the ground two feet. The front wall of the house, the east side of the well curbing and the fence at the east of the lot, form three sides of a square space to the left of the well, where a cave-in took place on the fateful night of the storm, and where Mrs. St. Clair is supposed to have fallen into the death trap.
 The walk from the front steps to the street is ten feet away from the deadly square of ground to the east of the well, and why the woman went into that sided space can only be con- jectWed. She weighed 190 pounds, and it is supposed that her heavy weight caused the earth to slide through the rotten east wall of the well, carrying the woman down.

ACCIDENTALLY KILLED.
Arthur Tappan, Aged IF, Shot by a
 Playmate.

Alameda, Dec. 2-Arthur Tappan, aged 12 years, was accidentally shot and killed by Charles Swan, play mate, with whom he was out hunting. Young Tappan, who was armed with a slingshot, was aiming at lark when Swan attempted to fire with a 22-cal- iber rife. The gun caught in his cloth ing and was discharged, the bullet striking Tappan in the breast. The wounded boy threw up his arms and fell, dying on the spot in few sec onds. The rife was held within yard of his body and his clothing was pow der burned. Swan and Willie Wal chow, boy who was in the party. were taken to the city prison, but soon liberated, as the shooting was clearly accidental.
