1t should be borne in mind that juries,
whether Grand Juries or trial juries. are
intended to be as independent in their
sphere of action as are Judges in theirs;
and. except in cases of manifest miseon-
duct, so plain as to be beyond question, a
Judge has really no more right TO scold
a jury, or impugn their motives or hold
them up to public contempt, from his
place on lae bench, than they have to
criticise the Judge from their places in
the jury box.-New York asnn.'

Popular Young Actor to Assume a
New Role

Paul Gilmore. the young actor who
appeared here last week in Under the
Red Robe,' was chatting for a few mo-
ments after the show with a State Jour
nal representative in his dressing room,
when the subject of the accident to his
sword in the duel scene in the first act
came up. He said: I was playing in
Philadelnhia not long ago when nv
sword broke and few through the air,
striking a young man in the audience.
He called on me afterwards and told
me who he was. His wife sat in the
seat beside him, and today she has the
fragment of the blade hanging in her
home with ribbons tied to it.
Yes, it is not an uncommon thing
to break a sword. While we were play
ing in Omaha we broke two

scenes in the play, and is unusually re-

Shortly after Mr.. Gilmore appeared in
Topeka last season and while he was
playing one of his old productions, Don
Caesar de Bazan,'' in Phoenix Ariz., he
was accidentally shot 1t was in the
scene where Don Caesar is to be ex-
ecuted.
1t will be remembered that in this
scene Don Caesars youthful friend is
supposed to extract the bullets from the
guns which the soldiers use.
Don Caesar is supposed to fall down
and assume that he is dead. Either the
player who was cast in the boy part with
Mr. Gilmore's company neglected his
duties, or Arizona "supers' don't believe
in or won't trifie with blank cartridges.
At any rate when Don Caesar stood up
in heroic attitude and bid his friends

know that Gilmore had been struck in
the leg by one of the bullets. However.
