The Democrats with the hope of ad-

is Republican by a majority of 800
and the negroes cast q vote heavy
enough to turn the scales in favor of
the Democrats. if they could be con-
vinced that the Democrats are their

ORDER FOR NEW TRIAL.
Involuntary Confession of Prisoner
Not Admissible as Evidence

The Court of Appeals Yesterday
handed down an opinion remanding
the case of Robert West, convicted of
housebreaking, TO the lower court for
new trial.
West was arrested by Policeman
Forteuay, on the Second precinct,
some time ago, charged with house
breaking. At the statiDn he made an
alleged confession of his crime, at the
solicitation Of the police, officers. After
he had been indicted and his case was
on trial this alleged confession was ad-
mltted in evidence. The prisoner was
conyictea. A motion for new trial was
made, but was denied and appeal w.s
then had to the Court of Appeals.
The two assignments of error in the
appeal were based on the refusal of a
new trial and the admission of the al
legged confession. The Court of APP
peo,s holds, as it repeatedly has held
and affirmed, that the action of the
trial court upon ! motion for a new
trial IS not subject for it to review.
In the matter of the confession the
court holds that the defendant did not
make voluntary confession, that he
was urged 10 make his statement by
the policemen who arrested him, and
therefore il should not have been ad-
mltted IN evidence. The case, there
lore, was remanded for new trial.

SURPRISED THE DEACON.
Mr.. weddIe Told Him He Didn't Want
the Hat in Which the COIIec-
tiOn Was Taken Up.

Mr.. Weddle, visiting his wife's rela-
tives up in Maine, fairly had to go
To church that Sunday. He did not
want to go, but his wife thought it
would do him good, and would be apt
to preserve the harmony of the fam
lily.
The sermon was long and powder
dry, says the New York Tribune, and
Weddle stole off into the arms of
Morpheus, gently and serenely. As
he did not snore his wife did not
suspect that he had gone to sleep
alongside of her, and gave herself mp
fully TO inspecting the bonnet of the
woman in the pew in front.
Like all things, good and bad, the
sermon came to an end at last, but
Weddle slumbered on like a baby
even after a deacon began taking VI
the collection in a hat. When the
derby was passed to Weddle, Mrs.
Weddle was surprised to see that he
did not respond. She nudged him
violently TO bring him back to his
senses. Weddle, awakened with 4
start. sat upright, and, bewildered,
gazed at the hat in the hand of the
deacon. Then he shook his head
sleepily and said:
"No. that isn't mine. Mine is a

WHAT A LIBRARY is.
George R. Peck Defines 1t as an
Epitome of the World.
A Scholarly Plea for Literary Cul-
ture-Dreams. Fancies and Im-
aginations Contribute Much
TO Human Happiness.

Galesburg, H., dedicated its new
public library not long ago, and Mr..
George r. Peck, the well-known attor-
ney of Chicago, was the orator of the
day. His address. like all of his "oc-
casionar" efforts, was scholarly in
style, happy in illustration, and par,
ticularly felicitous from a literary
point of view. Mr. Peck's close SYM
pathy with books and his wide reading
eminentIy qualified him for a task OF
this kind. His address was a strong
tribute to the intellectual forces, and
an eloquent appeal for literary cul-
ture, as not only productive of mental
growth, but as destructive of what is
obnoxious to that growth From his
point of view the library should be
organized. not alone for the disSemina-
tiOn of useful knowledge, but for the
encouragement of dreams and fancieS
and imaginatiOns. He believes there
is more help to average minds ins
''The Odyssey" Don Quixote," Les
Misera bles." or "The Newcomes" than
in all the scientific treaties, however
important they may be in their place,
While proud of the conquests of sci-
ence in the present epoch. he yet has
the courage Ito long for the literature
that used to be" and the faith to be-
lieve that it "can be brought back by
clinging to it" In these practical days
it is pleasant to read the thoughts of
the scholar and the dreamer, and such
an eloquent plea for literary culture
as that made by Mr.. Peck at Gales
burg. He spoke in part as follows:
a library is an epitome Of the
world Though it has no speaking
tongue, no lips TO proclaim the wis
dom and the beauty enshrined in
its volumes, yet the searcher who~.
ever he may be, finds both wisdom
and beauty. and takes them into his
own life, undisturbed by the noise and
