Of the bench made a decision that any
court would make. Would any court do
otherwise?
And still it is 2 fact that 1uries are in
luenced by the beauty and circum-
stances of plaintiffs and defendants.
That such is the case can be seen in
any court in any state. A man tried on
a criminal charge expects his lawyers
to do all in their power to influence the
jury. The lawyers win have the man s
children and wife. if he has them,
grouped about him in the court room
Then they viii try to get as many men
on the jury who have wives and chill
dren as possible. It's a trick Of the
trade. straight-edged justice is more
liable to be served by judge than a
jury.
A judge might have an eye that would
choose the comedy from the homely. but
he is also conversant with the wiles Of
lawyers and he would be far more apt
to administer justice after the manner
Of a blind man than would a dozen
men.
In fact, the system of juries is far
from perfect, and yet it is in all respects
as good a system as has been brought
forward. The personal prejudices are
quite as apt to sway u men as one,
and in some cases more SO. The Mime
sofa supreme court could make no other
decision, and still, if beauty counts for
nothing with a jury, why do lawyers al
ways put a good looking female client
to the front logged out in her best bib
and tucker? There are tricks in al
trades-even the profession of Black
stone.

all the world, is also of the past. The

A STUDIO IN CHURCH.
New York Artist and His Wife to Re-
side and work Where Famous
Pastor Once Preached.

Mr.. and Mrs. Francis Michaels Ton
ETH, happily mated sculptors, have
damned to make a former noted
church of New York their residence
and studio. Where once stood the
pulpit beside which Rev. DR.. Burchard
uttered his famous epigram: "Rum,
Romanism and Rebellion" during the
Blaine-Cleveland presidential cam
paign of 1884, the artists will in
stall their automobile, making the
place a stable between runs. Mr.
and Mrs. Tonetti expect to be resid-
ing in their new quarters before the
beginning of the new year.
The facade has been enhanced by
the addition of n mansard roof, in
which are three dormer windows. An
elaborate cornice has been added, but
the churchly aspect of the structure
is still readily apparent. Floors have
been built in and five-story house
thus obtained.
In what was formerly the Sunday
school room on the ground floor do
nestle Offices have been laid out.
Through the main entrance is n
driveway of generous width com
municating with the stable in the
rear. On the upper floors will be q
studio and above these again the liv-
ing apartments.
