Michigan Couple Have Adopted Eleven

South Haven. Mich. Aug 7-Mr.

twenty-five are not all infants. Some

He is therefore preaching, at every opportunity the prime importance for every patriotic American to see that the navy is built up and kept in the highest state of efficiency. such is his en- thusiasm in the matter that we may expect to see our navy make great strides in the next few years

 900 and the greatest evil have had contend with here is jury bribng, and sincerely believe that unless steps taken correct this evil the of justice by the jury system will be farce in this district
 The above is extract from a letter addressed by Attorney $. T. Jeffreys to the Hon. James Wicker sham dated April 29, 1902. It is here referred to because, in the first place, it made part of the record in the "opinion, judgment and sentence' handed down by Judge Wickersham in the case of the United States against United States Marshal Richards and J. D. Jourden, recently tried and con vcted a charge of contempt of the court and, in the second place, wish to challenge the truth of the statement therein made the existence of jury bribing in this community We have lived longer in this community than has the attorney who charges the community with harboring and fostering nest of jury bribers, giving a habitat to who can be bribed at wil and we do believe his statement We take the assertion thus made to be deliberate assault upon the who make up this section of Alaska, and unhesitatingly characterize the state ment an egregous blunder.
 Men who live in community, if they have any real interest in it or the people who make it, should be jealous of its reputation. No man should be so utterly thoughtless and lost to all sense of what should constitute self respect and public decency to make charges such this unless he is absolutely safe in bis premises. And feel that the gentleman who thus put such statement in writing tenn porary carried away by transformation, passion or prejudice.
 We do not here hesitate to say that there has never been any known of jury brbing in Nome, notwithstanding the flat assertion of the gentleman quoted. X bad workman quarres with his tools, and, while do not say that Attorney Jefreys is other than an excellent professional man, do say that we have noticed that when lawyer loses case or if it does not go quite to his liking else than himself is to blame. And this, in large sense, is true of all men, whether professional or not
 We are inclined to think that Mir. Jeffreys acted without due consideration. He complained in his letter to the court of bribery in the of J. R. Waterbury, ct al., vs W. II. Ferguson, ct al., in yolving q Crooked creek claim. Yet his clients secured a verdict although it did not carry the damages asked for. The has been appealed, and the records show that Attorney Jeffreys opposed the motion for new trial. Yet the gentleman alleges that jury brbing practiced in that case, and is common industry in Nome.
 MT. Jeffreys We believe, has libeled the com munty in an unwarranted manner, and we protest against it. Not many months ago Judge Wicker sham on more than occasion complimented the personnel of the iures serving in his court. And we believe that therein he did not

THE CASES OF ALLEN AND .DOlAN.

A San Francisco dispatch recently stated that the sentence of Tommy Dolan, convicted of the robbery of R. J. Embleon, in Nome, in December, 1900, had been affirmed by the appellate court. A previous dispatch carried the information that Gsorge Allen convicted at the time and for the same offense had been granted trial.
 In the first place we assume that the dispatches state the truth, and although mention is made of the third of the convicted trio, George Hawkins it is presumed that the sentence pronounced upon him has been also affirmed.
 This ease is anomalous, and when it is analyzed t'is small wonder that courts are often looked upon as mere machines, in which the man with the longest poke or the most influence secure what he de- sires. The judges of any court but men, and they are just liable to of judgment are their fellows who pursue the nonprofsssional paths of everyday life. The who occupy seats upon the "woosaek" are just frail, narrow, prejudiced and purblina as the men who pursue other avoca tions. It is fact that they are, in the popular mind supposed to be above the reach of those private citizen. But are they Neither the history of our own country that of any other furnishes anything substantial to establish such a contention The American judiciary, taken a whole, is com posed of the best which the country has pro- duced.

SPEED OF SOLAR SYSTEM.
sun, Moon and Stars Are All Going
Somewhere Mt the Rate of
10000 Miles an Hour.

According to Prof. Simon Newcomb,
the great astronomer, the most i'm
portant achievement in astronomy
during the nineteenth century was the
determination of the rate of speed at
which the solar system is moving
through space. Astronomers are now
able to say with certainty that the sun,
moon and stars are all going some-
where at the rate of 10000 miles an
hour. Where they started from and
whittier they are bound are questions
which must be left for future sci
entists to solve. At any rate, says the
Chicago Tribune, the discovery is suf-
fcient to emphasize the unimportance
of men in the scheme of the universe.
The widest dream of human inventors
looks forward to the distant day when
il will be possible to travel over the
surface of the earth at the rate of 100
or 200 miles in 60 minutes. Meanwhile
the whole solar system sweeps through
space at a rate of speed entirely be-
yond human comprehension. The only
way to get even a suggestion of what
II means is to imagine travelling more
than one and half times around the
world between noon and one o'clock.
Alarmists who like to picture the aw-
full possibilities of sudden failure of
the laws which govern the harmony of
the spheres can hardly find more
fruitful subject for their Imagination
than in considering what would hap
pen if the solar system, now running
at 10000 miles an hour should be in
stantly brought to a stop. Certainly
space would be filled with a flying con-
fusion of scattered worlds and shiv-
cred stars.
