Pennsylvania wins Trial Heat.

Henley, England, July S.-The Uni
versity of Pennsylvania crew won its
trial heat 10 the race for the grand
challenge cup today quite easily. The
London crew, its competitor, were three
lengths behind at the finish. The day
was clear and warm, and thousands OF
persons lined both shores along the
course. It was a foregone conclusion
that the Pennsylvania crew would beat
the Londons in the trial heat and there
were no offerings on this event. Penn
sylvania was considered the crew, how
ever, that would have to be beaten 10
the finals for the cup, so to was laid
against Pennsylvania that the field
would do it. The start for the heat
was made at 1910 p. m. London was
of fret and led by little during the
first quarter OF a mile, then Pennsyl-
vania pushed into the lead. After the
half mile mark was passed the London
crew weakened and Pennsylvania, max
ing no special effort. walked away from
their competitors. The Americans
we're quite fresh at the finish, whereas
the Londouers were we'll winded. The
Leander crew, which 1t Ia generally be-
lieyed will feht it out with the Amer
leans in the fioish, won their trial hea'

HOW IL Is Done.

The Lion Coffee Is we'll known to DO Of ex-
cellens and uniform quality and 1t Is used
today in millions Of American homes.
The fsct that premiums are given TO help its
sale, does not in the iesst aft ct the quality or
quantity, aud the great claim that this Coffee
has on the public mind is that it is absolutely
pure, and not glazed or coated in anyway. 1t
is said that the finest coffee roasting establish
ment in the world Is located on the Woolson
Spice Cos. premises In Toledo, and the
facilities for preparing this coffee for the
msrket are unsurpassed. 1tis therefore not
to be wondered at that Lion Coffee hiss such
an immense sale, as it has clearly pushed its
way to front on its intrinsic merits. 1t is
re- commended on account Of ite wholesome
purity, Its strength and fragrance, and the
fact that IL takes less of 1t to make good cup
OF coffee than any other brand on the market.
The new premium list OF the Woolson Spice
Co. will be issued on the Arst day Of Septem.
Der next, and will this year contain greater
variety Of useful and ornamental articles than
1t ever did before,

A REVOLUTION has been introduced In
the State constitutional convention to
give the Legislature the power to make
q iury consist of less than twelve men
and allow the decision Of two'thirds 10
control. 1t is hoped that such pro
vision may be engrafted into the new
constitution. People have become
tired OF the old aud expensive jury sys-
tenn by which, in many cases, the ends
of law and justice are defeated and
criminals frequently escape the punish
meut they SO richly deserve. Indeed
so grotesquely ridiculous has the pres
ent Jury system grown that bad men
take the risk OF committing serious
crimes, knowing that with a shrewd
lawyer and one stubborn juror they may
eventually go free. Then under the
present system the State is put to big
expense in trying triAing cases which, al
q matter of fact, should not go before
Jury at all. Several of the western
States have adopted smaller jury sys
tenn and all find it entirely satisfactory
and efficient and it is believed thai
should Virginia do the same it would
rebound to her interest.

STATE SENATOR J. P. JEFFRIEs Ia
correctly regarded as formidable can
didate for Attorney General before the
Norfolk convention. 1t has been
recognized from the start that he had
the lead and he has kept 1t, and from
present indications he and his friends
have every reason to be sauguine. The
objection urged by some that Mr.. JEFF
fries and Mr.. Willard candidate for
Lieutenant Governor) are from the
same district should not for moment
be entertained. The fact that the 9Th
district is able to furnish two excellent
gentlemen for the democratic ticket
should afford no reason for ignoring the
claims of either. Besides Mr.. Jeffries ia
n@sly deserving of recognition, and
de to show appreciation would be
reoreauoy on the part OF the democratic
party for which ne has lsbored sssidu'
ously, stumping the State in Its behalf.
1t Is hoped no such frivolous objection
as ia mentioned above will influence
any one. Mr.. Jeffries is not interfering
with Mr.. Willard in his race. The
track Is broad enough for both and they
are running for different goals.
