From the famous laboratory of Teco ware
there will be an exhibit of unusual interest:
This pottery is the outcome OF long years OF
experiments by artists and artisans to pro-
duce a beautiful ware in variety and fine,
ness OF finish, richness Of colors and withai
such reasonableness in price, that 1t can be
placed in every home. IN color scheme the
tones are varied, the main effort being dl-
rected toward the production Of soft vel
vety glossless surface. In design the Teco
ware is unique The factory is located in a
picturesque valley beside little lake,
aquatic plants are cultivated and the de-
sgners take motifs from these forms OF
nature.
FROM THE BAYOUS.
One department of the Tulane University
Of Louisiana is devoted to technical skill
and from this art school the Sketching
Club has secured an exhibit of the New
comb pottery which became famous from
bition, when the industry was but in its in
fancy. The clay for this pottery is taken
from the Bayou Tchulakafana in Missis-
sippi. Each piece of this pottery is original
and is never duplicated. 1t bears the mono
grams of the college, the designer and the
potter, and thus makes the regulations OF
the individuals producing It. The decorative
motifs employed in the Newcomb pottery
are based upon plant forms applied to the
ware either in low relief, inciSed, or
sometimes painted. The distinctive charac-
ter of the Newcomb pottery is in the blue
green tone made from composition of the
clay and other technical requisites. How
ever, there are notable exceptions in the soft
yellow gray tones that are appearing.
, LANTERNS AND LAMPS.
From the shop of r. r. Jarvis will be an
exhibit of lanterns, candlesticks, lamps and

of woollen goods. Through inability to find
some one to make a lantern of iron with

PRICK OF A PIN.

Rochester Post-Express.

Rochester Post-ExpreSS.
On a much slighter thing than spider
the fate OF empires may turn. What could
be slighter than the prick of pin? The
battle OF the Nile, in which Nelson won
one of his decisive sea triumphs, also came
from the prick of pin.
The great admiral was at his wits end
to find where the French navy was. Morse
and Marconi were yet unknown. He could
get no clew to the position OF the foe. Sir
John Acton, the British commander-n-
chief or land and sea forces at Naples, was
in his wife's room when her maid was put
ting the finishing touches to her lady
ships dress. The maid drove the point Of
a pin into her mistress, and apologized;
some one had at that moment handed her a
letter from her brother, a French sailor,
from whom she had not heard for some
time, and its receipt had startled her. Sir
John Acton, foreseeing possibilities, offered
to read the letter while the maid continued
her attentions TO her mistress. The mo-
ment he had read it, he dashed off to find
Nelson. The letter gave all the informa-
ton as to the Whereabouts and intentions
OF the French. Upon this Nelson acted and
the battle of the Nile resulted from that
pin-prick.

tSESGsgD So,
All who have at heart the development
of art industries, who recognize the value
of beauty in its relation to every day life,
will be interested in the efforts of this lit
tie association of artists who are striving
to establish and maintain in this COM
munity an appreciation for handwork OF
the very highest standard of excellence.
With this purpose in view the Sketching
Club will exhibit for two weeks articles
from the most artistic workshops In the
United States, made by skillful handwork-
ers in leather, metal, weaving, embroid-
cry. lace, basketry, bookbinding. book dec
grafton and lettering, china painting and
pottery. Those articles are solicited and ex-
hibited by the club and portion OF them
are for SALE A small percentage of the
sale price defrays the expense OF the ex-
hibit There is no admission to the
exhibit.
THE HAND-BOUND BOOKS.
Perhaps the greatest interest will center
In handsome hand-bound books, as the club
has been particularly fortunate in secur-
ing books from the leading workers in this
art in the United States. Miss Ellen Gates
Starr, of Chicago, a distinguished pupil of
Mr.. Cobden-SanderSon, the greatest con-
temporary exponent Of artistic bookbinding,
will show several books. Mr.. Peter Veder-

over the country as among the most de-
lightful examples of this art. will also ex-

workers In this craft, will send books and

John Brown used the desk about 1876 In

door, and were taken away from the Lib

on Sanford street Brown did not live in
the city for many years and was away
much OF the time.
The desk is now much worn, but still very
substantial and very heavy. The long top
opens In two lids, under which are two
large compartments. There are two small
drawers in the front, and the lower part
is one big cupboard with doors opening
into IL.
How much John Brown pondered over
the future while sitting at his desk no
one may know, but if the desk could speak
1t might throw some interesting light upon
this man whose historical Importance grows
as his soul goes marching on.

movement has been started here for an
amendment to the laws of Iowa look
ing to what is called a modified verdict
by a jury. III. H. Abrams, of Iowa
City, the we'll known superintendent of
the Iowa Anti Saloon League, is es-
pecially interested in this reform, but
it is not in any way connected with
his temperance work, and it is being
taken up by others entirely separate
from any temperate movement. Mr..
Abrams says:
There will be q bill presented to
the legislature providing for a modified
verdict. For instance, in criminal cases
where life imprisonment or hanging
lis punishment, the present unanimous
verdict of twelve men would be con-
.tinued; in cases OF felony, where less
than life Imprisonment could be in
fiicted, it would be say a two-thirds
verdict, or agreement on the part of
two-thirds of the jury, or eight; in
cases of misdemeanors it would be a
majority of the jury that could convict.
So also in civil cases some such grad
uation as this. Why should we insist
on twelve men picked up at random
being required to all reach one con-
clusion before we can have a deci-
sion, while on the supreme court and
the court of appeals a majority only
need agree? The judges ought to be
better able to arrive at a unanimous
decision and to all agree than the
average jury. We do not insist on the
judges reaching a unanimous verdict.
The plan of a modified verdict has been
placed on the statute books Of Missouri,
and the court there have recently de-
cided it constitutional. It is a plan
advocated by many able jurists and
lawyers. 1t will be opposed by the
professional criminal lawyers and those
who believe hat the more litigation
there is the better it is for the coun-
try, but h sensible lawyers and those
who want to reduce cost OF the courts
will favor the reform. We will never
have justice in this country until we
have thus modified our laws regarding
verdicts. 1t will be a great step in
the prevention Of corruption and in
taking away the Weaknesses Of the
present judicial system"

Warren Beebe. the wealthy farmer lfv-
ing near Homer, who blew out his
brains Saturday, ooh place yesterday.
For the past five years Eeebe had been
brooding over what he looked upon to
be a g%rieNous injustice towards him, a
matter Of running a road thru his prop
erty and causing him to move back his
fences. Soon after 1872. when Beebe
first moved to Webster county, he at
tempted to have located near his farm a
school house, in order that his children
would not have to walk two miles to
school, but was unsuccessful in his ef-
fort. Five years ago a new school
house was built heal his home, but he
only looked at this as Oh injustice to
him, for reason of the fact that his chill
.dren had grown up ard no longer at
tended school. When q road leading to
the school was ordered Beebe objected
to its entering his property, declaring
that he would not move his fences and
would shoot the first nan who at
tempted to do SO.
Saturday afternoon his family was
absent attending the funeral of a neigh
Dor and when the members returned
they found Beebee lying dead on the
kitchen floor, he having placed the muz-
zle of a shotgun in his mouth with his
left hand and pulled the trigger with
his right. On a nearby table was a let
ter which read: God VIII judge every
n of us. / have suffered trouble
enough unjustly." In his pockets were
found s366.5o, mostly in bills, creased
and soiled. showing that he had carried
them a long time. 1t is believed that
Beebe left nearly $4,000 in money Sc
creted about the house, the whereabouts
of which his family is ignorant.
