1t Is noted by the Republican Boston
Advertiser that ''in those states where
Republican conventions have been held
this year the platforms which have
been adopted have not followed the
lines laid down in advance by Senator
Hanna and some other prominent Re-
publicans. Hanna announces that In
no case viii Congress discuss any
tariff questions. The platforms call
for nm extension of the reciprocity
policy. Hanna says the trusts are

the opposite. Possibly Hanna may
have the power to check legislation
at Washington, for time; but h
cannot defeat the public sentiment
which demands such legislation from
either tho Republican or the Demo
cratic party" The platforms may
say all these things, but the meaning

JURORS WHO
CONVICTED GUITEAU.
Eight Are Still Alive Notwithstanding His Curse
Upon Them.
Upon Them.

Washington, Sept. 13.--rhe attempt
to assassInate President Mckinley has
recalled the history of the Guteau
trial and conviction and has suggested
the correction of IA reported error in
regard to the fate OF the jury that
condemned the assassin to the gallows
nearly 20 years ago.
Time and again it has been publish
cd that all of the jurors are dead; that
some of them went insane, while 9th
crs have come to untlmely ends
in some way. Guiteau, at
the time the verdict was
rendered denounced the jury in terms
that made the cold chills run down
the back of all In the Washington
court room at the time, but only
four of the famous Jury have passed
away. The other eight are living In
this city.
The trial and peculiar incidents sur
rounding Gulteau's efforts to escape
the penalty of the law have all become
history, yet II will ever remain u mat
ter of interest.
Mr.. John +. Hamlin, who was fore
man OF the jury, ID a messenger to
Senator Morgan's committee in the
United States Senate. He is hale
and hearty old gentleman Of over three
score and 10 years. He was seen some
days ago at his home on Morgan ave.
He said, speaking of the event In his
life: Judge Walter Cox had given
his charge TO the jury and breathless
silence hung over the vast multitude
assembled In the court room to wit
ness the closing scene In the judicial
investigation of the great national
tragedy. The verdict Of guilty was
announced, whereupon Guiteau arose
and said, pointing his finger at the
II men: My blood be upon the head
of that jury, and don't you forget It.
That is my answer. God will avenge

Congress, by ratlfying the cession
act of the Tennessee Legislature,
which fixed the Virginia-Tennessee
boundary line in the middle Of Main
street in the town of Bristol has Gre
ated a situation some features Of
which are decidedly curious. Exactly
in the centre Of that street there runs
a car track, one rail Of which is now
in Virginia and one in Tennessee, so
the question as to which of the two
States a passenger in that company's
cars is travelling through depends on
which side of the car he happens to
find a seat If he stands up he can
be in both States at the same time.
And if he moves from one side to the
other he will have to set his watch
backward or forward a whole hour II
he wants 1t to show the legal time Of
day, for the State boundary is the d.
yiding line between two standard time
zones. Other difficulties and confu-
sions are sure to manifest themselves
to the citizens of Bristol and they are
likely to find their position even more
inconvenient than interesting.

Speaking Of fuses, the rector told US
one day a very funny thing he had

Every day, as long as the siege con-

passed over the most exposed streets
on his way to the church, always car

head appeared, bobbing out first from
one side, then from the other. Above
him in the air, bobbing too, and with
a quick, uneasy motion, was a lum-

came out to prospect. The supposed

Tempering copper so as to equal in
hexibillty, toughness and hardness the
best Damascus steel is an art which
the ancients possessed, but which is
unknown in modern times. Its redis.
covery has been vainly sought for
century or more. Some years ago an
American inventor claimed to have
discovered the process. II he did, the
world reaped no benefit from it, for
he died without revealing his secret.
Now a woman and her two sons, liv-
ing on the Pacific coast, are said to
have evolved a process which tempers
copper so that it will cut chilled steel
and Harveyized steel plates. If so,
the lost art has beeN restored to the
human race for inasmuch as the Sc
cret Of the process is in the posses
sion Of three persons there is every
likelihood Of its being finally com
municated to others and becoming
permanently retained in the metal in
dustrlcs. Owing to the greater due
tillty and durability of copper over
iron, a knowledge Of tempering it will
be boon Of incaIcuable value to
mankind.

! Adjourned Court TO Settle n Controversy

Recent dispatches contained an &C.
count OF a sensational occurrence in
the district court at Watertown, S. d.
In the trial Of a divorce case one Of
the attorneys, George w. Case. said
something offensive TO Judge Julian
Bennett, who sat on the bench. There
upon Judge Bennett responded hotly
and Mr.. Case said: Judge Bennett,
you can address me in that manner
from the bench, but were not court in

self, though we regard the Kansas in-
cident which we are about to relate
as the funnier Of the two. In 1868, tbs
. famous Judge Joyce was a justice ct
the peace in Hays City, and, as the
only judicial officer In the region, ad-
ministered the law with an autocratic
hand. In the town there were two law
yers, only one of whom has to do with
this story. His name was Ryan, and
some months before he and Judge
Joyce had quarreled, with the result
OF Ryan being disbarred from practice
on the ground that he had been Con-
federate soldier whose disabilities had
never been removed. OF course the
fact Of Ryan's being a Confederate sole
der was not cause for his disbarment,
and, anyway, Joyce had no right to
disbar him. but everything went In
the west in those days, and for some
months Ryan had to stay out Of court
However, after Joyce had considered
his enemy sufficiently punished he sent
word to him that he could come into
court. The next case which came up
for trial was against a fellow who had
stolen a COW, and he engaged Ryan to
defend him. In due course the prose-
cution made its case a good one, by the
way but while the witnesses were be-
ing examined Ryan sat with his hat
pulled down over his eyes, saying
never a word. At last, when the guilt
of the prisoner had been established
beyond all doubt, the prosecution
rested, and, turning to Ryan, Judge
Joyce said:
"The defense can now take the
stand"
What the HIS the use? A man
can't get justice in this court" re-
sponded Ryan.
"Misther Constable, adjoorn ths
COURT" shouted Joyce, springing to his
feet Come outside, ye monkey
faced hellion, an I'll give ye justice!"
And whereupon everybody adj
journed to the outside, where Joyce
and Ryan went at it hammer and
tongs, with the result that Joyce re-
ceived a beautiful licking. Later, when
the blood had been washed off and
considerable red liquor washed down,
Joyce reconvened the court and sol
emnly gave judgment for the defend
ant.
But, here!" shouted the lawyer for
the prosecution. I'VE proved that man
guilty and he ought to be sentenced"
"Will ye hould yer yawp?" sternly
responded his honor The court finds
