BLACKBURN JURY DISAGREES.
f. B. Blackburn was charged with
needless driving before a jury yester-
day. Blackburn is the man who ran
down Colonel Halves a few months ago,
from which the latter is still suffering.
The jury in the case after half an hour
of argument in the jury room, reported
disagreement, several members stat
ing that there was no possibility of a
, verdict. Mr.. Douthitt announced that
ne would prosecute the case again at
the next term of court Judge De Bolt
in his instructions to the jury clearly
defined the rights of pedestrians to the
use of the street. The jury was dis.
charged by agreement of counsel.
PARKE MUST PAY.
W. c. Parke as administrator of the
Estate of katherine Aud was yester-
day ordered by Judge Gear to repay in
to the court the sum of $685. turned over
to the heirs without an order of court.
1t seems that Morgan sold the house
hold effects of the deceased for $1420
and that the administrator accepted re-
ceipts amounting to 1898 from various
heirs being the amount of their bids
for family heirlooms. Judge Gear held
that this was a distribution of the es-
tate without authority and Parke was
ordered to repay into court the amount
so distributed.
RECEIVER FOR PROGRESS BLOCK.
Judge Gear yesterday appointed w. G.
Cooper as receiver for the Progress
Block. The order was made upon the
suit of the German Savings and Loan
Society against c. S. Desky and Bishop
& Co. for foreclosure of the $55, 900 mort
gage upon the Progress Block. The
mortgage deed permits of the appoint
ment of a receiver without notice to
the defendants.
ASHFORD NOT IN CONTEMPT.
Judge Gear yesterday ruled that c.
w. Ashford was not in contempt in
going upon the property in dispute in
the case of Kaikainahaole VS. ]. o. Car
ter. Ashford demurred to the citation,
claiming that the order of injunction
was directed to the defendants and not
to the plaintiffs. He argued that at
most his action could only be construc-
tive contempt, and quoted the Supreme
Court decision in the Walter G. Smith
court held that no contempt of the or
der was shown, as it was not directed
to the plaintiffs. He held however that
the status quo should be maintained
and neither party interfere with the
possession of the property,
X SUPREME COURT.
j The Supreme Court yesterday held ar
gument in the cases of Tibbits VS.. Pail,
and Territory VS.. Wong Shin King.
The latter is the Chinese libel suit,
wherein the defendant made serious al
legations against the Chinese consul,
and was sent to prison by Gear.
Judge Robinson held no court yester-
day, the attorneys in the case set for
| trial being engaged in the Supreme
Court. There is much objection on the
part of the circuit judges and attor-
neys, over the holding of a Supreme
Court session during the term of the
Circuit Court.

Humor Mt st. Peters.

You would not look in st. Peters for
a practical joke, but one was perpetrat-
ed by the unknown artist that carved
the tomb Of Pope Innocent XII, who
reigned from 1901 TO 100. His family
name was Pigmatella, which Is the
Italian for a small jug, and the artist
has introduced tiny jugs at every OPP
portunity among the embellishments.
The toe of the famous bronze statue
of st. Peter has been worn away by
the kisses Of the faithful, which prac-
tice has given rise TO the absurd but
widely believed idea that pilgrims KISS
the actual toe OF the living pope. 1t is
the ugliest thing in st. Peters. The
figure is Of rude workmanship, and one
is ready to believe the story that 1t was
never intended for st. Peter at all, but
is an old statue of Jupiter Capitolinus
unearthed I'm excavations Of the SIX
teenth century. The church authorities
admit that 1t was cast from the bronze
of pagan statue, but claim that 1t was
always intended for st. Peter.-Rome

Ancient Chinese Bridges.

Suspension bridges which were built
IN the time Of the Han dynasty COP D..
c. to 900 A. Do are still standing, strik-
ing examples Of oriental engineering
skill. According to historical and geo
graphical writers Of China, 1t was
Shang Lieng, Kaen Tsu's chief OF com
mand, who undertook to construct the
first public roads in the noWery enl-
pire. At that time It was almost I'M
possible for the province OF Shehse ~
communicate with the capital. Leng
took an army Of 10000 workmen anu
cut great gorges through the noun
tains, filing up the canyons ana var
Ievs with the debris from his excaVa-
fions. At places where deep gorges
wore traversed by large and rapidly
flowing streams he actually carried
ont his plan of throwing suspension
bridges. stretching from one slope to
the other.
These crossings, appropriately styIeu
"fying bridges" by early Chinese writ
ers. are high and dangerous looking in
the extreme. At the present day a
bridge may still be seen in the Shense
which is 400 feet long and is stretched
over a chasm more than 1000 feet
deep. How those early engineers erect
ed such a structure with the tools ana
appliances at their command is a mys-
terry which will probably never be eX-
plained

The HoudIn Health.

Let us shake hands with a man ana
we will tell you something about his
health, says the London Doctor. The
firm, hearty handshake Of a sincere
man may be rather rough, so that one
is taught he has q grip, but it Indicates
stamina. While denOhng absence or
tact and refinement, it points to phys
ical strength. The flabby hand that
retains no pressure belongs to the per
son who has no great strength of body
or mind. The quick, nervous handshake
Of an excitable, nervous temperament
and its opposite, the nerveless, passive
one, belong to persons in i'll health.
The hand that threatens TO collapse or
give means fear. The feel Of the hand
called magnetic indicates health and
kindness and desire to help others.
In many ways we may decide charac-
ter by the hand as well as the brain.

Tho Curious Bezoar Stone.

There is now no sale for beZoar
stones. The time was when this con-
erection was deemed very valuable, and
many living men will remember hav-
ing seen perfectly formed specimens
sell for So or $40, to be carried in the
pocket as lucky stones. The bezoar
stone Is formed In the stomachs Of cat
tie. 1t is calcareous and as hard as a
bit Of limestone, but the core is gener-
ally a mass of hair licked from the
hide Of the animal and carried into the
stomach with the saliva. These con-
cretions are as plentiful now as they
ever were.

witness to the wonderful curative
qualities of Kodol Dyspepsia Cure. 1t
IS the only preparation which pos

good food you may eat. No one dis
mites the fact that some other digest
ants partially accomplish this result.
PepsIn, for instance, is found in the
healthy stomach. When it is lacking,
the patient takes pepsin and it helps
him. But pepsin digests only album
inous foods, like meat and eggs. May
be there's plenty of pepsin and a lack
of the other digestants. Then IT
does no good. That is the trouble with
the other preparations. They don't
contain all the dlgestants. Kodol
Dyspepsia Cure contains them all. 1t
