The legal form of investigating the
cause of the death of Editor Gonzales
has the been gone through in Colum-
bia, 5. c., and a Coroner's jury has
rendered the verdict that 1.-THE deceas-
ed came to his death from a gun-shot
wound inflicted by pistol in the hand
of James H. Tillman. The evidence
was 50 direct and conclusive that the
jury needed only five minutes to reach
a verdict. The case now goes to the
Courts, where James H. Tillman, ex-
Lieutenant Governor of his State. will
be tried by jury of his peers for the
murder of n. G. Gonzales.
Since the Columbia tragedy. which
occurred Jan. Is, probably every news
paper in the country has expressed the
opinion that South Carolina will be on
trial until the case of James H. Till
man is disposed OF, and that that State
will be Judged according to the verdict
rendered. At the same time there is
an evident conviction that no punish
ment, or, ifany, an inadequate punish
ment, will be meted out to the man
who deliberately murdered an unarm-
ed man almost within the shadow of
the Capitol of South Carolina.
The country in general will not so
readily admit that South Carolina is
willing to advertise itself as unable to
punish murderer if he happens to be
white man with political influence.
1t will wait and see what the outcome
OF the trial soon to take place at Col
umbia will be. Until the result of that
trial is known the public will not con
sent to believe that opinion IN South
Carolina favors the acquittal of de-
hberate, cold-blooded murderer who
approached his unarmed victim and
shot him as the latter exclaimed:
Here | am. Finish metz
The State is on trial at the bar of
public opinion and the verdict will be
made up only when a Columbia jury
disposes Of the case of James H.
Tillman.

When Ice Covered Europe.

During the long tertiary epoch, when
OpOssums disported themselves on the
site of Paris and mastOdons tramped
along the valley of the Thames, the
earth was in the thrOes of mountain
making. The Alps, the Himalayas,
the Alleghanies, the Andes, attest the
power of her activity in those days. At
their termination our continents stood
greatly higher than they do now, and
this aided their glaciation. although it
does not fully account for it.
But as they became loaded with ice
Europe and America gradually, and we
may venture to say cOntemporaneOusly,
sank. This was inevitable. Owing TO
the extreme heat and pressure prevail
ing in its interior the earth is an EN-
inently elastic body. It's surface ac-
tually bulges in or out with a very
slight increase or decrease of the load
upon it.-Edinburgh Review.

ditions in the Hard Coal Regions. 1t
is called "Children of the Coal
Shadow, and is written by Francis H.
Nichols. OF chief interest is Mr..
Nichols account of the "Junior"
unions formed by the boys working in
the mines, and by their sisters, who
work in the mills that have come to
Anthracite" on account of the cheap
labor there. These child unions have
the same organization, the same aims,
the same methods, and often accom-
plish the same results as the mems
unions, on which they are modelled.
Their hatred of the "scab" is even
more intense Some of the stories
Mr. Nichols tells, in this connection,
show very significantly that the senti-
ment of young America IN the Coal
Regions is force to be reckoned with.

Coffee Chewing.

Coffee chewing" says a doctor, ''is
a habit easily contracted. for the taste
of the crisp roasted berries is not un-
pleasant. and the eXhilaratiOn, the slim
ulus, that the berries give is quite as
marked as that which would be obtain
ed from a glass or two of beer or from
drink of whisky.
1t is this eXhilaratiOn, am convinc-
ed, that causes the habit to be formed
and that makes it a hard habit to break
away from. 1t should be broken away
from. Its effects are highly injurious
They are more injurious than those of
tobacco chewing.
The coffee chewing habit wrecks the
nerves, it makes the skin sallow and it
destroys the appetite. l have had oc-
casion to treat a number of men for it,
l always advise such men to break off
by imperceptible degrees; to give three
or four months to the task. Some sue
ceed and some do not. Men who work
in coffee plants find it almost impOssi-
bic to succeed. New York Tribune.

mems usually imagine that they are
surrounded by snakes. An explanation
OF this hallucinatiOn, says the Family
Doctor, is offered by the result of some
recent experiments. Sixteen alcoholic
patients were examined with the oph-
thalmoscope, and it was found that the
minute blood vessels in the retina of
their eyes were cOngested. In this con-
dition they appear black and are pro-
jected into the field of vision, where
their movements resemble the squirm-
