NO II URRY.

It is reported that some of the lead ing delegates to the Constitutional Con- vention think that the session can be finished in six weeks. We hope there will be no hurry, and we don't suppose there will be any. It is usually report ed at the beginning of a session of a legislature that it can be finished with
 in reasonable time. To be sure, a session of the legislature is not a ses- sion of Constitutional Convention, but it is, perhaps reasonable to expect that when people get to talking about the Constitution instead of the laws they will take their time. So it will not be at all surprising if it takes more than six weeks for the Constitutional dele gates to get talked out. They haven't got their second wind yet, but when they do they will be likely to show much endurance. If they will only do the right thing nobody will find any fault if they talk little longer than is strictly necessary.

4 CRYING WEED IN HEW YORK.

| Doubtless the reform administration
 that has just begun work in New York will do what it can to give the children
 of the city adequate "school facilities :"
 They haven't them now The board of education points out that in the past four years 1t has applied to the city for $3S, ,49S, 900 for new school houses and grounds, but the city has seen fit to grant it only $14,873 ,00o which has been entirely inadequate to supply the wants of the situation. While the Tim itation of the law in the contracting of city debts has operated against the
 cause of the schools, still the board
 says "The necessity for additional &C.,
 commodations in nearly all sections of
 the city continues, and is certain to be- come more and more pressing with the growth of population. The overcrowd-
 ing in many schools and the large num- Der of half time and part time classes, a make shift necessitated by existing conditions, are anything but creditable to the great and wealthy metropolis and should not be permitted to con tinue." The statistics of the situation show that the registration of school children for the year has averaged 440,2S6 with an average daily attend ance of 398,391. There are 519 public schools, capable of accommodating all the pupils. but large number of them are absolutely unfit for use and must be replaced by proper buildings in the near future.
 If New York doesn't educate her chil- dren properly she will have worse trouble than she has had. It will sure- ly not be Mayor Lows fault if during his term good progress in the right di- rection isn't made. He understands what education can do.

to eliminate technical questions, and MT. Owens decided that his position as arbiter was similar to that of justice of the peace or a judge sitting in the city court
 In an effort to make q complimentary speech to the court, MT. Hurlock said: T know MT. Owens to be a fair lawyer and good sportsman whereat the crowd laughed and MT. Owens thought the compliment not wholly compliment tary.
 MT. Byrd said he was sorry he did not get absolute ownership of the puppies

WHO OWNS THE PUPPIES?

i Rights of the Owner of Sire and the l Owner of Dam Adjudicated.
 A sigh of relief came from the crowd present in the office of Albert S. J
 Owens in the Law building yesterday
 Mir. Owens, the referee in the Tomp- kins vs Byrd dog trial case, announced
 that he was ready to render his decis- 1 ion. The case resulted fro ma dispute as to the distribution of seven Irish set ter puppies, Dr. John A. Tompkins, Jr.,
 owning the mother and George W. Byrd the father of the pups As they
 could not agree as to how many puppies each was entitled to the matter was re- ferred to justice of the peace. Before he could be decided 1t was agreed be- tween the owners of the parent dogs
 and the attorneys engaged in the case to submit the question to referee, and
 Albert s. J. Owens was selected to act
 in that capacity, his decision to be final.
 His decision Is as follows:
 My decision is that the plaintiff
 (Byrd) is entitled to the two dogs in
 controversy, all cost to be paid by pr.
 Tompkins, but, exercising the special
 powers conferred upon me under the general directions contained in the agreement of arb 'tration, I direct that said dogs be delivered to pr. Tompkins upon payment to the plaintiff of the sum of s30, provided the doctor shall ex- ercise this privilege by noon on Monday next"
 AS was the case on Thursday when the trial began, the office of MT. Owens was filled with sportsmen yesterday Witnesses had testified that the dog owned by MT. Byrd, the dog being the sire of the puppies in dispute, was most sagacous one. In telling of his qualities they said the dog could dis tinguish the Sun. from any other Bal timore paper, and would at command take the paper in his mouth and carry it to his owner.
 w. Stewart Diffenderffer, who is ex- perienced in the matter of dogs, said that he would not own either of the parent dogs if they were offered to him as presents.
 The witnesses present yesterday were w, Stewart Diffenderffer, Jesse E. Riggs, Thomas w. Turner, Thomas J, Sheubrooks, Joseph K. Bramble, J. Chambers Weeks and A. Kirkland Weeks. After each witness had told how many world beating dogs he had owned, bred or raised to establish his ability as an expert, the lawyers in the case asked each his ideas on how many puppies should belong to the owner of the sire and the mot her respectively, of q litter The preponderance of opinion was that the s're's owner was entitled to the first selections A. M. Hurlocll | argued the case for the plaintiff Byrd. | and Edward J. Baeter and Robert M. | McLane argued the case for the defcnd- | ant. Dr. Tompkins,
 MT Baet1er claimed that the posses sion of the issue should belong w'th tha 1 owner of the mother. Mir. Hurlock ed- nitted this to an extent, but refer 1 -o the days of slavery and claimed that he laws gave the sire some ownership | Il the progeny. Both attorneys agreed l

PROSE US.

This is time of such prosperity that even that friend of the people who, in season and out of season, reaffirmed the national Democratic platform is prosperous. Perhaps he is prosperous against his will, and perhaps he feels ashamed to be prosperous under the domination of principles and policies which he despises. Yet prosperous he is, and he must make the best of it.. We read that MT. Bryan announces that his house in Lincoln, Nebraska, where, in 1900, he received visiting dele cations, will be speedily sold and that he will remove shortly to the suburbs, where a fine new house, to cost $20, 900, is being erected. He says: The foun- dation is in and the walls are above the grade so that work can be resumed as soon as spring opens. The barn is practically completed. In order to be on the ground while the house is being poiil' we nave ueciueu to move Into the barn on my birthday, the 18th of March, and occupy 1t until the house is com pleted.
 Living in barn is true Jeffersonian simplicity but it will be endurable with that $2o,000 house in sight. We con- gratulate Brother Bryan on his pros perity, and we hope that he will always find his efforts for the benefit of his fellow men as profitable to him and them as they now are.

There is fasination in the sub tie influence of a good watch. That air of mystery about the mechan- Ism which lmpresses one like the Latin of a doctors prescription often assists a fraud, therefore 1t behooves the cautious not to be attracted by the allurements of the cheap watch seller.
 When reliability is absolutely necessary. there is no better place to find it than at The George H. Ford Co.,, where the discount re- tlrement sale now in progress, in- cludes its stock oe watches as well as other articles.
 This house has been for a long time the official watch inspector for the New York. New Haven and Hartford Railroad company, and as its trade with railroad men is extensive it has made a specialty of accurate time pieces in dust proof cases.

however failed to attract the public
 doubtless for the reason that the three
 wheeler has never been a favorite here
 The motor bcycle, however, supplies
 the hitherto missing link between the
 bicycle and the automobile. between
 the poor and the rich of the speeding
 sport It makes it's owner feel that he
 is still a wheelman in spite of the snort ing motor on his wheel, and when auto
 mobiles of much larger horsepower try to pass him in vain on the road he Is pleasantlyrem that he is in it and able to hold his own among the swift company of automobiles. That, too, has something to do with the popularity of the motor bicycle. It is far cheaper to operate than the smallest launch, it is much less liable to get out of order than the most reliable type of horseless vehicle, and it Is the swiftest and most economic vehicle known in proportion | to weight, carrying capacity and fuel consumption
 A motor bicycle weighing only sixty pounds, of 11a horsepower, will easily and safely carry man weighing 1S0 pounds across the average kind of coun- try road at a maintained speed of from twenty to twenty-five miles an hour The automobile has not been built which, weight for weight, and propor- donate power. could come anywhere near this performance. When it is con- sidered that the factor of safety in steel bridges is four, or, in other words. that a bridge to be safe must be strong enough to sustain four times the sum of its own weight and the live load, the fact that the motor cycle is able to car ry three times its own weight and over, in addition to propelling this load at rate of speed prohibited on most bridges and by virtue of comparatively small horsepower, we begin to appreciate the amount of practical science involved in the building of the motor cycle.
 When the English Singer motor cycle was first introduced, it was ridiculed as top of very little practical use. Wheel men jeered at the idea of comprising the motor power within the front steer ing wheel, and automobiists don't ride motor cycles. It was soon found, how ever. that this unsightly but reliable machine would carry it's passenger over British roads at twenty mile clip with no material drawbacks except the lia- bility of the steering wheel to be jerked from side to side in traversing rough pieces of road.-From an article in Sci- entific American.

able opportunity by not declaring war at that time. Discussing the Man churian question, the officer pointed out that there were three courses open to Russia. She might be content to guard merely the railroad lines con meeting Dainy and Port Arthur with the Ussuri district, or she might annex Manchuria. A third course was to leave China in possession of the north western part and retain the eastern and richer districts. Korea, Colonel Agape- jeff declared, must sooner or later come under the protection of Russia.

USSfA AND JAPAN.

The Japanese who wanted war with Russia last spring will not be cheered by some remarks made by Russian, Lieutenant Colonel Agapejeff, who has returned to St. Petersburg from Man churia. This warrior expressed the opinion that war with Japan was not at present to be desired by Russia. The occupation of Manchuria by Russian troops, he said, had created great dis
 satisfaction in Japan, and it was pos
 sible that the Japanese government might have to yield to popular feeling,
 which was in favor of war. Had war
 broken out last spring, Russia would
 have been in dangerous position, for
 railroad communication had not been
 completed and her naval force in the
 far East was insufficient, while a small
 Japanese naval force would have been
 able to cut off Port Arthur from all
 supplies. The transport resources of
 Japan were so great that she could
 have thrown, without delay, 10000 men
 into Manchuria. She was also in po- sition to raise an army of 1000 men,
 of which 150,00O could be sent within a fortnight to the theatre of war Japan. therefore, in his view, let slip favor

According to a decision rendered by fudge Wiest, of Michigan, if jury be influenced by the sight of beauty in dis tress it's finding may be set aside and 8 new trial ordered. This pronouncement came in connection with the case of Mrs. Bennett, who sued John Clear for the value of services claimed to have been rendered as housekeeper. A sym pathetic jury awarded her $500, where upon the defendant sought a new trial, alleging that the fair plaintiffs tears, shed most becomingly while the case nvas on trial, had influenced the jury m her behalf. The court held the con- tention to be valid, setting forth that Mrs. Bennett is a good looking woman and that her signals of distress were sure to excite the interest of the jury as well as of outsiders. As there was
