Justice Brewer on the
Jury System.

New Haven Conn. Feb, i5.-
Hon. David J. Brewer, associate
Justice of the United States Sa-
preme Court, delivered the third
lecture in the Dodge course on
s.The Responsibilities of Citizen
ship to-day. In the course of
his remarks Judge Brewer lamented
the evils of the presentju system,
calling attention to the fact that IN
some States the jurymen are locked
no At night, paid laborer's wages,
and curtailed of their liberty in a
wav that makes men shrink from
jury service and induces them by
every means available to shirk IT..
Justice Brewer stated that he hoped
the time would come when the
iurymen will be paid business
mans wages and is treated like a
gentleman. He also favors the
conviction by considerable ma
jority of . jury Of twelve men
rather than a requirement of unanl-
nifty.

VIRGINIA CONVENTION
THE TREAT-GREGORY CASE STILL
UNDECIDED.
Discussion Of Proposition to Change
Meetings Of the Legislature
to Four Years.
Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
RICHMOND. Va. September 21.-The
contested election case Of Treat VS.. Greg
ory was brought to the attention Of the
constitutional convention today in the
shape of third report by John Garland
Pollard. the eleventh member Of the COM
mittee, who signed neither the majority nor
minority reports presented on yesterday.
Mr.. Pollard.s report makes the vote tie.
whereas the majority report gave Mr..
Treat a majority of two. while the minority
gave Mr.. Gregory one, Mr.. Pollard recon-
mends that a new election be ordered. The
report was ordered printed.
There was another deluge of petitions
from all sections Of the state praying the
adoption Of the Barbour resolution to regu-
late the liquor traffic.
Mr.. Willis of Warwick presented a reso-
luton empowering councils of cities and
boards Of supervisors Of counties to exempt
for ten years new manufacturing enter
prises from local taxation. provided that
the exemption shall not exceed four times
the amount actually paid for wages during
the preceding year.
Delegate Dunaway of Lancaster presented
substitute for section Of the bill Of
rights, as reported by the committee and
adopted in committee Of the whole. The
section affects trial by jury and was dis
cussed for more than a week.
The convention, on motion OF Mr.. Moore
of Fairfax, went into committee Of the
whole and resumed consideration Of the
report of the legislative committee, the
amendment Of Delegate Harrison of Fred
erick, to substitute biennial sessions Of the
legislature instead Of quadrennial. as rec
commended by the committee.
Mr.. Flood of Appomattox called attention
to the fact that the attendance was small
and moved that the section be passed by
temporarily.
Mr.. Moore opposed the motion. saying
the report had been before the members for
a month and they were cognizant Of Its
contents.
The motion to postpone was lost Dele
gate Kendall of Northampton advocated
the amendment, saying that the people
should be respected by having an opportun-
ity to exercise their approval or disap-
proval of measures and policies Of govern
ment.
Delegate Richmond of Scott championed
the report, declaring in favor of the cleo
tion Of all officers by the people.
Delegate Ayers Of Wise supported the
amendment, saying that it was the peoples
FORUM he believed in trusting the people,
but four years was too long time for the
law-making power to be removed from the
people. ..-
Mr. Withers of Danville suggested that
the report be so amended as to allow the
calling of extra sessions by majority In
stead Of two-thirds vote Of the members
Of the general assembly, which was ac-
ceptable to the committee.
Senator Daniel at 2 o'clock began
speech in favor Of biennial sessions.

Amusement. of the Russian Soldier.

Amusements of the Russian Soldier.
From Pearson's
How simple are the Russian soldiers may
be judged from their amusements. Their
only games are of the most primitive char
acter, like our Aunt Sally" Their great
est pleasures are singing, dancing and
playing on the "harmonika," a musical In
strument like a concertina, or on the bal
lailaika" a national musical instrument
something like banjo, which will keep
them amused for hours. If he can only
play two or three tunes, Ivan 1vanovitch
will be able to enjoy himself rapturously.
Singing, however, Is his greatest pleas
ure, and chorus singing is a great feature
in the Russian army's accomplishments.
The number of songs an ordinary soldier
knows is beyond belief Singing Is en-
couraged by the officers, and the men with
the best voices are specially rewarded.
Among illiterate people the singer will al
ways be able to exert a great influence.
One has only to see Russian regiment on
the march to understand what moral power
the singers can give the soldiers.
Ivan IYanovitch stands greatly In neeo
of cheap forms of amusement, for he Is
wretchedly paid. He is the worst-paid SOL
dier in Europe and therefore has very
hard time during his four years of service,
unless his good folks at home are inclined
to be generous.

TWO 'hcles in the United States En-
rich an EngIishman In Need

an fhEilBhman In Need.
From the London Chronicle
10 lew men is 1t given to make fair
competence, lose 1t and suddenly and with
out expectation find two fortunes thrown
at their feet. That has been the expert
ence of Mr.. Joseph Samuel Stadden Rus
sell AT the beginning of this year he was
employed In the humble capacity of groom;
today he Is in possession of a fortune OF
tloooo, most of 1t invested in freehold
property in New York and Pittsburg
The story has most of those elements of
romance with which the popular imagina-
ton clothes the unexpected acquisition of
wealth. AS In SO many other cases, 1t is
the rich uncle In America-would there
were more OF them!-who has played the
part OF a generous Providence In Mr.
fusseiis case. however, there were two
uncles, but from neither did he entertain
any expectations Of an inheritance One
lived IN Pittsburg, the other in New York:
one was his uncle on his fathers side, the
other was the brother of his fathers Sec
ond wife. Mr.. Russell himself was bora in
London within the sound of Bow Bells"
but he has spent fully thirty years In the
states Both his uncles went out there
when very young and very poor, but t1oy
rapidly advanced and became considerable
property owners. Recently Mr.. Russell
returned to this country and started a pul-
lie house at Maidstone at the same lime
depositing all the money he had saved in
America with Dumbelfs Bank. When the
bank failed he lost everything, and al fifty
had to face the world penniless. l. was
then that he took place as groom, but
he had not been long In that situation
when the news came that mis- fathers
brother had left him fortune, when was
originally stated to be f50 600 odd bu. in
reality came to something more, I,carly
approaching 100000. That. however, did
not exhaust Mr.. Russells luck. Only the
other day he received intimation from q
firm Of solicitors In New York that his
unole-in-law had bequeathed to him a sum
which, with the previous windfall, put him
In possession of 100000
1t Is extraordinary revolution I'm the
fortunes OF an unambitious man, and all
the more extraordinary, perhaps. because
1t was quite unexpected. Mr.. Russell Is
shrewd. level-headed Londoner, who Is un-
der no apprehension that he will be tempt
ed to squander his fortune.

ESPECIALLY FOR CHILDREN,
Room at Smithsonian Institution fol
Their Instruction.

Under the direction Of DR.. s. P. Langley of
the Smithsonian Institution a room will be
opened in that building Monday, designed
exclusively for the instruction and enter
tainment of children. The project has been
long considered by Prof. Langley, but only
recently has he completed his plans and
equipped the room from the use of which
he expects Washington's young people to
derive so much pleasure and profit
The room will contain variegated ex-
hibit, including species of birds from the
largest to the smallest. and from the most
fierce of the carniv erouS class to the gen.
tlest of the sweet singers. The room will
also contain an aquarium containing fishes
of every description, and compart ment
for the beaver and various interesting in
SectS
A deep-sea collection, which, with its at
tendant mystery. always amuses the young
people. Will be furnished, and will include
many specimens of coral, minerals and fos-
siis of all kinds and many other objects
illustrative of nature.
The collection will be most interesting
one TO the youngsters, and is expected to be
very successful. One of the practical fea-
lures of the exhibit Is that everything on
view is placed at a low elevation from the
floor, in order that even the smallest tot
may get good view.

No arrangements have yet been made by
which the present strike between the
Paperhangers' Assembly and the Masters
Association may come to an early close.
Both sides are still holding out, and claim
to be able to do without the assistance Of
the other.
1t is claimed by members Of the masters
organization that with the constantly in
creasing supply OF new men it will be only
a matter of time, and that comparatively
short period, when all of the places made
vacant by the strikers will be filled.
Fifteen outside men, 1t is stated. have
come to this city within the last two days.
On the other hand, the strikers assert
taht they are more confident Of holding
out than at any period in the history Of the
strike.
Men are going to Richmond, Norfolk, and
even SO far as Charleston, to work until
there is an end Of the trouble in this city.
This morning a large contract was start
ed by the union at Forest Glen, where work
will be provided, it is stated, for several
months for a good force Of men.
1t is stated by several officials Of the
striking assembly that they have inside in
formation that several of the men imported
to this city by the masters have not made
good" and that they have been sent out of
the city.

A Monument to an Actress.
rom fha Pail Mall Gaxefto

From the Pail Mall Gazette.
Mile. Clairon. the tragedienne OF the
eighteenth century, is to have a monument.
The little town Of Conde-sur-Escant, where
Claire Lerys, daughter Of a sergeant. was
born. has just witnessed the unveiling OF a
bust of the woman whom Voltaire called
1.-The divine Clarion and Diderot styled
"the unique The inscription on the mon
ument Is simplicity itself-"A Clairon, 17ZS-
1903" is all. Yet what a career IL there
underlined. She was the first to rebel
against stage conventions and appear
dressed for her part in appropriate attire
She was also the first to revolt against the
treatment of actors and actresses as social
pariahs. The people used to shout ''Vtve
lie Rol ct Mile. CIairon"' when she appear
ed at the theater. Her numerous love af-
fairs only increased this popularity. At
a comparatively early age she forsook her
profession to become the Aspasia Of the
court of Anspach. Many years later. when
the last century was young. an old, wiz
ened, starving, barefooted charwoman died
in Partisan garret. 1t was the Clairon.
Believers in omens may hold up the ac-
tress' earliest experience Neither her
mother nor her grandmother thought the
baby would survive her natal day. She
was, therefore, hurried to church for bap-
tism. But the clergy were spending carni-
val In time-honored dances and feasting
When the priest was at length found ne
had on testers dress and the curate wore
clowns attire. Grandmamma was, how
ever, in such a hurry that the rites had to
be performed there and then without
change of costume.

California Fruits in Europe.

From Success.
The latest American Invasion" of Eu-
rope is the carrying Of fresh California
fruits to London and Paris in the face Of
the competition of the Spanish and Italian
fruit growers. A Valencia, Spain, paper
says: California oranges, peaches, apples
and pears reach Paris, after traversing six
thousand miles, In q more .appetizing con-
dition than ours and adds that her fruit
growers can only compete with America
by employing Americas improved methods
of cultivation. California Is natural
fruit garden. and its crops are far too
large to be consumed in the horf1e markets.
For years the California orchardist has
been seriously, considering the foreign de-
mand, and many wonderful schemes have
been devised to ship fresh fruit abroad.
California prunes have, generally, taken
the place Of the French article, and Cali
they have reached a state Of perfection
never before attained.

ONE HEAT. FOR EACH.
Cresceus and The Abbot Running fol
s Big Stake.

READVILLE, Mass, September 21.-A
beautiful sky and track well dried out
after last nights rain gave promise Of
grand contest between the two champion
stations, Cresceus and The Abbot. The
only thing which threatened to mar the
contest was a stifr northwest breeze. which
blew across the track.
Nearly 10000 people saw the race The
entire gate receipts will be given to the
West End nursery, through the generosity
of Thomas w Lawson, who gave the purse
of $4,000 for the match.
Cresceus won the first heat handily. The
Abbot broke badly in the first eighth and
at one time he was fully thirteen lengths
behind. Time by quarters, S2A, LOS. 1.3SA.
