Hampton Street.

Mrs II. Davis, of 9lS Hampton
street says: MY kidneys troubled
me for three years. more or less, with
sharp. shooting pains in the small of
my back, les during the day than at
night, unless l lifted anything or
strained my back or over-eXerted my
self in doing my housework. At night
1 turned from side to side trying to
find comfortable position, and it kept
me awake for hours. There was also
a kidney weakness which was very
annoying and distressing at all times.
l became so bad that was confined to
my bed for over week, and had to
have u doctor. 1t was then that l
saw Doan's Kidney Pills advertised
and 80 highly recommended by Scran-
ton testimony that l was induced to
get them from Matthews Bros drug
store. They proved to be just what
1 needed and helped me right away.
My back was better and stronger than
it had been for q long time and the
kidney weakness completely dsap-
peared."

1t permitted the prosecuting attor-
ney to stand aside every juror on the
panel as he was called, without as
signing any reason, thus enabling a
dishonest prosecutor to pack jury
against the defendant. The McCarrell
bill provided simply for taking this
power away from the district attor-
ney. The Hoy bill proposed to do this,
but, to even things up, made an addi-
tional provision to the effect that the
district attorney should be allowed the
same number of peremptory challenges
--twenty-as the defendant, instead of
only four, as was the case under the
original practice.
The law now is, to state it briefly,
that the district attorney shall not
stand aside any jurors, and that the
prosecution and defense shall be al
lowed an equal number of peremptOry
challenges in all cases.
The Hoy bill in full is given below:
AN ACT Making il unlawful for district attor-
ncys 10 stand aside jurors in cmpanelling any
jury in the trial OF any indictment charging
felony or a mi'dcmranor in any court Of
this commonwealth and regulating the chat
longing of jurors by the commonwealth and
the defendant in such eases.
Section !. BE il enacted by the senate and
house OF representatives, Of the commonwealth OF
Pennsylvania in general assembly met, and il
is hereby enacted by the authority Of the same,
That from aud after the passage OF this act il
shall be unlawful! Tor any district attorney of any
county in this commonwealth in empanp,iug any
jury for the trial in any court of an indictment
charging felony or msdcmcanur to stand
aside jurors, but in every such case the com
monwcalth and the defendant shall in addition
to the challenges for cause now allowed by law
be entitled TO pgrcmptory challenges as follows:
In all trials for misdgmclnor the commonwealth
and the defendant shall each be entitled to six
percmptory challenges in the trial of fclonns
other than those trablc exclusively in the
courts Of oyer and temincr and general ial

GOVERNOR STONE
SIGNS HOY BILL
The Measure Which Has Been Before
Legislature Since 1888 Is Now
Law-Its Many Defeats.

Special from STAFF Correspondent.
Harrisburg, March 6.-Of particular
interest to parties concerned in the i'm
portant criminal case- scheduled for
trial in the near future will be the an
nouncement that Governor Stone today
signed the Hoy bill to prevent district
attorneys from standing aside jurors.
This measure has been before the
legislature at almost every session for
the past seventeen years. 1t was orig
inallv drafted by Hon. Lewis Cassidy
of Philadelphia, and first came into
the legislature through the late Hon.
Lemuel Amerman, in 1883. Senator
Mcdonald. Judge Kelly, and a senator
from the lower part of the state, each
in turn, tried TO have it passed at diff
ferent sessions, but none could succeed
in getting it through the both houses.
Last session it reappeared with Sem
ator McCarrel as its father, and was
defeated by the Insurgents, who did
not wish to deprive the district attor-
ney of Philadelphia of this powerful
aid towards securing the conviction Of
Senator Quay, who had been hauled
up in the courts and charged with
malfeasances. with a view of defeat

The bill was again defeated, after
one of the most vigorously fought
battles in the history of the Pennsyl-
vania legislature, and it was thought
an end had come to the Efforts to Sc
cure it's enactment. But strange to
say, the bill upon being revived at this
session went through both houses with

a seventeen years struggle, II is today
a law of the commonwealth.
The practice of standing aside Jurors
was brought down from old English
| times, and its opponents in this coun-
| try have all along contended that it
| was an unjust practice from its very
| inception, having been devised for the
sole purpose of giving the king an

| persons whom 1t was deemed expedi-
ent to get out of the way.

MI. Garner Takes the Floor.

MI. Garner Takes the Floor.
When the statement had been read,
Mr. Garner took the floor and testified
that Mr.. ROderick's version of the af-
fair was false as regards the utterance
complained Of What Mr.. Roderick
said, according to Mr. Garner, was:
They (the miners) can legislate me
out of office if they want to. After
they strike in April, they will have but
l. little power left. Their hands are
raised against everybody and every
body's hands are against them"
There was nothing whatever said
about Chickens came home to roost,"
Mr.. Garner asserted, and further he
averred Mr., RoderiCk's remarks were
not made in tones of anger, nut coolly
and deliberately.

ers, We're called by Mr.. Garner to tes-
tify that Mr.. Reynolds admitted to
them that Mr.. Roderick said just what
was charged in the resolution, but
Chairman Kendall advised against
| taking secondhand evidence. and
Messrs. Kearney and Collins We're ex-
Cused.
In commenting on Mr.. Reynolds
| failure to attend the investigation, Mr..
| Garner and Mr.. CHAMPAIGN made
some uncomplimentary illusions to
| him, those of Mr.. Champaign being of
| a personal nature.
Hugh McGarvey, an old-tme labor
| leader, spoke in flatterng terms of
| Chief Roderick as a friend of the
miners and argued that there must be
mistake in reporting Mr., Rodercll's
words as they appeared in the resolu-
| ton, for they are not in consonance
| with what he (McGarvey) knows are
Mr.. Roderick's sentiments.
Colonel Sweeney Appears.
| Colonel James Sweeney. Harrisburg
correspondent of the Hazleton Senti-
mel, created a sensation by taking the
floor and accusing the supporters of the
| resolution of having tried to railroad IL
| through the house.
He called upon the committee to give
it the consideration so important a
matter deserves. Mr.. Garner mildly
protested that no attempt was made
to railroad" the measure.
Chief Roderick supported Mr.. Ha-
| worth, who was Colonel Sweeneys
opponent for representative from the
Hazleton district at the last election,
and to this Colonel Sweeney attributes
his defeat.
The committee went into executive
session to decide on a report, but ad-

things with beautiful bright eyes.
The feathers are fastened to the han

only trouble is that they are alto
gether too pretty to use for any pie
beian purpose and most women will
tuck them up behind pictures or mir

effects.
Big round baskets of dark brown
