Jury in the Eastman Muir.

RETURNED VERDICT
Saturday Night wiplng Stigma
From His Name

Boston, May 13.-When Charles K.
Eastman stood up in the court room
at East Cambridge, Saturday night,
and heard the verdict of the jury''not
guilty." which wiped away the stigma
of the Indictment of having murder.
ed his brother.in.law Richard H. Gro.
gan, jr., it seemed as If the walls II
tbs court room would give way before
the round Of cheers that greeted that
decision.
Gone was the ordinary decorum Of
the place. Men stood up and waved
their hats: women danced up and
down and wa we'd their handkerchiefs
and all cheered. The crowd seemed
to be much more affected by the Sit
uation than the defendant himself,
although it was apparent that only
by tremendous effort was he able to
maintain his self-control. He simply
bowed his thanks and then when the
clerk had indicated that he was a free
man, he stepped from his cage en-
braced his old father and sat down
with him within the bar inclosure.
Throughout the court room there
was laughter and tears, and, paradox
ical as it may seem, they were both
occasioned by the hysteria Of extreme
happiness. Even the jurors were af-
fecJed by the scene, and there were
tears in the eyes of many Of them
when the verdict was announced.
Just before the announcement OF
the verdict a horrible doubt had been
tugging at their heartstrings, but
those two magic words of the fore
man cut away all such OBTAINING in
fuences. The words dissipated that
element of fear and doubt, and trans
lated them in an instant to realms OF
bllssful happiness, where the horrible
past became simply a nightmare, and
the joyful present a dream almost toe
good TO be true.
The devoted little wife, half hySter
ical and hardly able to speak intelli
gently, ran across to the opposite side
of the room to greet the jurors whose
decision meant so much to her.
But the most pathetically happy
figue of all was the mother Of the de.
fendant. 1t was her first visit to the
court room. Hitherto she had alb
sented herself al the request of he
son and at the suggestion Of her phy
sician, who feared the effect upon he,
heart of the excitement Of the occa
sion.
But Saturday night she would b.
thereto rejoice in her sons triumph
if triumph it should be, or to shar'
with him his sutferings, if suffer b.
must. The excitement Of the few

THE FUTURE OF THE SOUTH.
Depends Upon tho Development Of Hre
Broad Farm Lands.

Depends Upon tho Development Of Hre
Broad Farm Lands
The future of the south Is question
which has perplexed capitalists and
thinkers since the reconstruction Pc
riod. There is no Disgusting the fact
that the material growth Of the south
Is not keeping up with the north's
rapid development. The south is es-
sentially agricultural and In the ju-
dicious cultivation of her soil lies all
her hopes. One Of the greatest him
ORANGES in this line is the continual
exodus of the energetic young white
man to the north or west. They are
obliged to struggle hard for an educa-
ton, and when they leave school In
variably choose to enter the more en-
te-prising fields Of labor tan drag out
a slow. weary life in their own south
land. Farming has never been con-
Quoted in the south on scientific prin-
ciples. Hitherto the farm lands have
been worked on the same plan as
mines-everything dug out and carted
off and nothing put back. Under such
treatment the farms in many OF the
southern states have Leen exhausted,
the soil has grown thinner and thin
ner, and it is found necessary to put
more acres under cultivation in order
to maintain the usual yield. This plan
IS carried to such extremes that more
acres are put under the pillow than can
be worked and soon reach condition
where they have to be abandoneq. And
then new fields are cleared at a heavy
expense. Thus the process goes on
and on without enriching the farmer.
but wearing out and impoverishing his
land. It is safe to assume that not
more than 10 per cent of the land IN
the south is cleared and less than
per cent is under cultivation. The
prairies Of the west offer no such In
ducements as this to the young south
erner, and the quicker he realizes 1t
the better. Should the northern
farmer begin to colonize in the south
and clearing broad timber lands. Gre
ate a fine farming community. then
the southern young man will see the
folly Of leaving home in search OF lu-
crative employment, farming will be-
come fashionable, and as result the
south will become prosperous, popu-
lous and as powerful as the north
Pennsylvania Grit.

Must BE Well Built.


Revised regulations for the medical
examination OF candidates for commits
sions in the British army were re-
Gently issued. A much greater latitude
in the way Of actual measurements is
to be allowed, but stringent rules are
laid down to insure absolute fitness for
campaigning. A candidate % years of
age, for example, may only be feet
2h inches in height, with an expand
ed chest measurement Of thirty-flve
inches, and yet be passed. The ease OF
the physical part Of the examination,
however, is more than counterbalanced
by the difficulty of passing the medical
part. The eyesight test is to be very
difficult, but defect in one eye to the
extent of one-sixth will be allowed if
the defect is simple error in refraction,
remediable by glasses. Good teeth are
essential. but well-stopped teeth will
be considered good. Apart from mere
measurements, the chest and limbs
must be well formed and developed
and the joints of the latter must be in
good working order. The examination
board is also to decide whether the
candidate is of pure European de-
scent" but the order does not state
what is implied by the term pure Eu-
rOpean."

New York. March 1S.-Speaking of the
attitude of the English press on the
treaty situation. despatch to the Trib-
une from London says:
There is no note or triumph in the arti-
Giles watch have appeared since the re-
lection Of the senate amendments to the
canal treaty. The language is moderate
and there is a general disposition to
drop the subject as quickly as possible
without Civ ing ofense to the Americans.
Those who have seen the text of the
memorandum say that the rejection is
made in terms of courtesy and dignity
and are confident that the lucidity and
jectionS are urged will make good i'm
preston in America. The text OF the
reply had not been seen at the Ameri-
can embassy yesterday. but the sub
stance and line of argument We're known
and no secret was made over the con-
viction felt that the treaty had been al
lowed To lapse in peace without word
from the foreign office. A courteous
note with a clear statement of reasons
is clearly better than silence would have
been, with AUTOMATIC closure of the sub
ject through expiration OF the time
limit. The subject is left in form
which will enable the state department
to take it up anew at its own discretion.
Meanwhile the English press is acting
on the principle that the least said the
sooner it is mended.

lie sentiment capable of controlling the

ment in this country and Europe is
quoted in special to the World from
Boston, as saying:
The comments of the papers evidently
have been based on misrepresentation of
the facts. They seem to have assumed
that ! spoke on trusts, whereas my adj
dress was not on trusts. but on public
conscience. my reference to trusts being
incidental and of the most casual char
acter.
Il do not mean that the trusts will
create an emperor. What I said was
that an aroused public opinion is the only
thing that can control the trusts and
without that public opinion we shall have
an emperor

! New York. March 13--A despatch, to
the Herald from London. says:
Mr. John j. Healy. who is known
throughout Alaska as king of the
Klondike." is staying at the Hotel Cecil.
.\S former general manager of the North
American Trading and Transportation
Co.. he has probably done more than
| any other one man to develop the riches
of the Alaskan gold fields. His pres
ence in London is in response to the in

terested in the Klondike who are
| anxious to know the exact facts about
their property.
1t is more than probable that one re-
suit of his visit to London viii be the
organization OF a rival to the North
American company. which has hitherto
enjoyed almost a monopoly of the trans
portation facilities of that country.
1T is too early yet to speak of my
plans definitely" Mr.. Healy said. las
am in daily conference with the parties
who wished me to come for consulta ton.
| can say. however, that the near future
is likely to see English interests in the
Nlondike on a better business footing
than they have ever been.
The northeastern peninsular gold
fields are richer than any yet opened,
while the southern section is probably
unequal!ed as a copper bed by any place
on earth. l have no lands to dispose Of
I am not here for that purpose
What are the prospects for rail-
ways?"
Good" he replied. while no rail-
ways in Alaska are actually in operation
as yet, there is good prospect for the
near future. Surveys have already been
made But of course, till the popula-
ton warrants construction, one can't
expect that capital will undertake any
outlay. However. I may say that the
population of Alaska has now outgrown
