Washington, June z.
The Example of a Patriot.

Atlanta Constitution.
 The memorial address made on Demo- ration Day at the tomb of General Grant by Judge Thomas G. Jones of Alabama. an ex-Confederatc, was one of the signi- ficant utterances of the day. Singular, too, was the fact that while the former foe was standing bsfore the remains of the great captain to whom he had yield cd and was eulogzing the magnanimitv and generosity of the conuueror the President of the nation, at another Ma tiOn2l Macpelah. was raking oyer inc ashes of the dead era of internecine strife and renewing the animosities of that day by untimely contrasts
 Passing by the latter we rejoice in the exceeding good taste and loyal temper of the address made by the eminent Southerner, who is now a high official of the Federal Judiciary. With the spirit of the true knight and the words of a sin cere patriot, he paid tender and grateful tribute to the soldier. statesman and re- Concliator whose ashes and memory are revered by honorable men of the South and the North alike.
 The Confederate pilgrim to the tomb of Grant did well. What he said was neither forced nor fulsome. He voiced the regard of the honestly loyal people of the South for one who refused ignoble rcvcnges in the midst of his victory and their humil- iation For the people of the South har- bor no bitterness against any honorable foeman whose Valor contributed to van uuish their hopes. and like Judge Jones they gratefully gather with gdrlauds and praise at the tombs of such patriots as Lincoln and such hc.oes as Grant

Even the comparatively slow and safe bicycle sometimes runs over an unfor- tunate pedestrian. and what may we mol expect from machine running at rail- way speed and driven by a reckless or in competent driver? Some of the decisions already rendered by officials are interest, ing. In New York pedestrian who came near being run down swatted an auto mobilist on the head with stone or lump of hard clay and was arrested for the offence. but the trial justice released him on the score of self-defense. In the same city reckless rider ran into a wagon. upsetting it and sending its driver sailing through the air. He was tried and fined just $i for his fun. There's much inteerst in the future in connection with automobiles. beyond a doubt.

 A comparison of this May with May 1899. that period the daily average increase has been 6.762; the Sunday average increase I,- 376. The percentages are relatively sf4s and TOT .47. In other words. The Advertiser s daily circulation has simply doubled in the past three years-and the end fs not yet

The Return of the Passenger.
BY EDWARD F. PAYNE.

Copyright, 1902 by Daily Story Pub. Co., The grizxled old gripman sat stunning himself beside the car barns. His legs were stretched out and his shoulders were propped comfortably against the warm brick wall. A man came along the toddl.ng little girl whose fat legs shot or at unepexcted angles when her feet atruck the rails on the curve turning into the barns. They passed the old gripman
 and the man smiled. nodded and said. Good morning"
 "Mornin', mornin'. sir" said the grip man. smiling broadly. He shook his fin- ger in mock threat at the baby. who laughed daringIy into the scanned face: whats the matter. Dad??' asked the We'll" said Dad" fetching another I'm plumb in love with that baby that l Just went past. Kind of feel like she part belonged to me-
 "ReIative?' asked the man. piece of black plug tobacco.
 ''um." he said. Well, I knowed her | ma an her pa, too."
 The warm bricks at his back seemed | to unloosen the fountains of Dad s'' | speech.
 'I can't remember just when saw that baby's ma first. I s'pose 1 seen her a lot of times before l took any particular
 notice. You see. him and her used to live up beyond the barns. I guess she must have had job of some kind or other down town. got to noticin her standin' on the edge of the curb right where the trains stop after comin out of the barns. Both come down on the electric cars. only she was always ahead of him, some way. There shed stand
 an wait till he come jumpin through the
 waitin room from the trolley; Then
 they'd get on the cable and ride down town together. If the weather was so a
 white man could live outside. they'd sit on the grip.
 Well. that kept goin' on for long time, she a-waitin' for him In the mornin' an him comin' off the trolley and they ridin' downtown together. Once in awhile he wouldn't come an then she'd get on the grip alone, sorowfuI-like. an just look straight ahead. Once or twice wh en we was poundin down into the tunnel 1 seen him reach out. easy like, an take her hand, an there they'd sit, holdin hands an her checks like fire when the arcs in the supportin' wall flashed on
 "When it got warm weather they'd come down together Sundays. her dressed like a girl in a picture, an they'd get off at the park, an I'd see 'em go stroliin down the gravel paths. walkin' mighty close together an him talkin low in her ear an her smilin' an fiashin them black eyes on him.
 Finally it got so shed nod to me when they got on the grip. She'd just look up an smile an nod that pretty head of hers soclable as you please. Some times he'd speak, too, but mostly he was too busy lookin' at her that he didn't have no time for me- reckon it was three or four days before I really noticed that she wasn't ridin down town any more.' he went on. 'It kind of dawned on me that he was ridn' alone. But he seemed to look mighty happy all the time. an I couldn't get up the nerve to ask where she was.
 That was along in the fall an I guess 1t was plumb three months before 1 seen

AN ABSURD LAW.

New 10rk mas enacted law Intended to punish men for failing to vote. and 1t is about the queerest piece of legal assininity that we have any account of in modern days. It provides that in
 making up lists for jury duty the names | of all men who have failed to register and vote shall be placed in one box and the
 names of all voters in another. When juries are to be drawn the non-voters' box must be emptied before any name shall be drawn from the other box This is the gist of the law, and we have seldom seen a less defensible theory acted on by body of law-makers-the theory being that men who fail to vote are not doing their duty and must be punished, and that putting them on the jury is a good and proper way to punish them. We agree with The New Bed ford, (Mass.) Standard in it's reasoning when 1t says:
 The mistake of the whole scheme is in its classification of jury duty as a penalty. A man omits the duty of a citizen and neglects or refuses to vote thereby demonstrating that he is not en- tirely a good citizen. Therefore to pun- ish him for this default. he is to be made a juryman. and put into position where the rights and the interests of his fellow citizens are in his power. Here we are to be treated to the spectacle of jury box filled with men who have proven that they have failed in their civic duty. What sort of men are they to decide on the serious issues which come before A jury? They have been unfaithful to one obligations; where is the reason 10 sun- pose that they. will be faithful to another? Jury duty. which is really one of the most honorable of all the duties of citizen- ship, is placed by this law on plane with jail. There is no possible good defense of such position.
 Among the most vital needs in our sys- tenn of government we may confidently impartially selected" was one of the features regarded by Jefferson as espe- cially important to a free government, but he might have gone further and in- sisted that the juries should not only be impartially selected, but that they must As Shakspear says:
 The jury, passing on the prisoners life, May in the sworn twelve have thief or
 two
 Guiltier than him they try,
 and next to corrupt jurymen may be placed incompetent ones. and next to them may be placed unwilling ones. As The Standard observes, men who volun- tarily refuse to register and vote can not be classed among the best citizens, and if they are forced to serve on juries as punishment for not voting they may be as indifferent to duty on the jurors bench as they were as electors. Any way We look at it there is no defence for the New York law

 Logic.

You can depend upon the ab- solute correctness of the factory finish given the best brands of collars and cuffs. In these days of keen competitor manufac- ! turers are prompt in needing the demands of fashion. Com- pare our finish with that of the best and highest priced brands of new linen. If you compare with the most popular brand upon the market, you'll find it identical. Our processes and equipment are the same as those employed in finishing this par ticular brand.

One of the latest-and confoundedest!- Inventions We have seen reference to is a kind of addition to a telephone which will make portrait of you while you are talking into the machine. That is what we call adding insult to injury. When a man is trying to make some one understand him over the wire the only consolation he has is in the refiec- tion that the person at the other end can't see how he looks. A telephone which will take a portrait under some circumstances wouldn't last long.

The proposition that Parliament appro- priate quarter of million dollars for Lord Kitchener as a bonus for his ser vices strikes Americans as an exceedingly liberal act, yet we notice that some of the London papers speak of 1t as a nig- gardly gift. If the Congress of the United States had given Grant such a sum it would have been looked on as an act of criminal extravagance, but our people don't look at such things as the English do.
