HARD To GET
MURPHY JURY
Two Special Venires
Issued From
Court.

But little progress was made yester-
day towards securing a jury to hear
the case of Pat Murphy charged with
murder in the first degree. In the
morning fourteen jurors were excused
for cause and in the afternoon the en-
tire special venire was exhausted with
three peremptory challenges, the pros
ecution still having four and the de-
PENDANT eleven challenges to exercise.
1t seems to be rather hard work to
get juryman to sit on murder case
particularly where the. evidence is cir
cumstantiaL A large percentage of
those examined yesterday had CON
scientious scruples against inflicting the
death penalty, which they couldn't lay
aside in any event where the evidence
was not of a direct nature. A lot of
those excused were unable to distin-
guish the difference between direct and
circumstantial evidence and they were
permitted to go without objection from
either side.
The regular panel OF jurors was ex-
hausted at noon, without either side
having exercised a peremptory chal-
lenge and Judge Robinson issued a
special venire for fourteen. returnabie
at two O'Clock. But four of the jurors
were served and another adjournment
was necessary for the summoning Of
more Jurors. Judge Robinson then is
sued an open venire directed to the
High Sheriff for twenty-five jurors to
be chosen by him from the body of the
district
The jury win probably be chosen be-
fore evening today

Ewes Apple Tree.

A fruit supposed to bear the mark
Of Ewes teeth is one of the many
botanical curiosities of Ceylon. The
tree on which it grows is known by
the significant name Of "the forbid
den fruit or 'Eve's apple tree"
The blossom has a very pleasant
scent, but the really remarkable fea-
tnfe Of the tree, the one to which it
owes it's names lis, the fruit. It is
beautiful and hangs from the tree
in a peculiar manner. Orange ON
the outside and deep crimson with
in, each fruit has the appearance OF
having had piece bitten out Of it..
This fact, together with it's, poison
ous quality, says the Liverpool Post,
led the Mohammedans to represent
it as the forbidden fruit OF the gar
den Of Eden and to warn men
against its noNous properties

on himself he wcrld never spend more
than fifteen or twenty cents day,
he thought nothing Of buying Irish
men sumptuous dinners, with cham.

their musical brogue. An Irishman
onoe played Colonel Cline false. He
stole o pair Of boots from him. Die
covering the theft, the millionaire
pursued the Irishman, overtakipg him
as he was about to enter o paunshop
with the boots in his hand. "Thess
are my boots; you have stolen them,y
said Colonel Cline. '.Sure it was Q
only . joke, said the Irishman. But
the memorable millionaire hauled the
thief before magistrate, aud here
again the man repeated. "It was only

Mr. Cline, how far away from your

STAGE DRESSING ROOMS.
Often the Cause of Disputes and Feuds
Between Actresses.


Between Actresses.
Deliver me from staging show
with two women stars in the cast,''
said one Of the veteran Broadway
stage managers. 'They will give
you more trouble than q barrel of
monkeys or q regiment Of blond
chorus girls
Jealousy, suppose, because
their parts cannot be exactly alike" !"
observed the ordinary citizen who
was lucky in the friendship of the
lord of the greenroom.
'It is jealousy all right" said the
manager, 'Sbut not over their parts.
They have fought that all out with
the author during rehearsals. When
they get into my department the
trouble is all over dressing rooms" "
Gone would think that any COM
Portable room would be good enough
tn dress in" remarked the citizen,
betraying his ignorance.
"You'd think a lot of things"
growled the manager, 'but unless
the dressing rooms are as like as
two peas I'd like you to convince
twin stars that they were receiving
proper treatment. Even if tho
rooms are alike the women are not
satisfied. They want the wall pa
per and the wardrobe curtains
changed to match their complex
ions.
"The average theater is usually
shy on dressing rooms. It may be
thoroughly up to date and perfectly
appointed in every way until you
get back of the stage or under the
main floor, where are the quarters
Of the people. I've never seen the
time that I could not use q dozen
more rooms than I had at my COM
mand. Generally there is one room
that is very much superior in loca-
ton and furnishings to the others.
It is intended for the leading wom-
an, and in the old days when there
was only one leading woman there
was little trouble about this prizo
room.
'1n this act of the life play, how
ever, there are likely to be several
leading women. The woman who
plays the name part insists that she
is the star. The popular singer who
is being featured in the piece and
who draws $50 or $1O0 week more
than the woman of the name part
insists that she is the star. IF the
leading man has a wife in the cast,
she surely deserves the best dress
ing room. And there you are
three women and one decent room.
cit is just like shaking q red flag
at bull, this business of dealing
out dressing rooms. Sometimes it
all but breaks up show, and many
lifelong feuds between actresses are
the result" New York Tribune.

Great Statue In Cotton.

A colossal statue Of King Cotton
will be the most striking feature Of
Mississippi's exhibit in the palace of
agriculture at the worlds fair at st.
Louis.
1t will be the largest statue in the
exposition, and will tower SO feet
above tho heads of the visitors. His
majesty is seated on an immense
throne, and if the breath of life were
to animate the gigantic statue, and
ne were to arise to his feet, he would
be compelled to stoop to prevent his
head striking the rafters Of the great
building, the oornice line OF which is
IS feet above the foundation.
No modern monarch possesses a
sufficiently dignified appearance, say
the Mississippians in charge of the
feature, to adequately represent SO
important subject as their great
Southern States cotton crop, SO r.
FL. Henry, the director of exhibits
caused the artist to choose for his sub
ject q venerable king Of the sixteenth
century.
King Cotton's face, hands and feet
will be Of wax, and cotton will form
the remainder Of his makeup. a
space so feet square has been allotted
by the exposition management as King
Cotton's domain. His will be an ex-
elusive monarch and no passports
viii be honored. A strong railing
will define the boundaries of his king
dom and Jefferson guards will prevent
trespassing. All visitors may see the
kingsand pay homage, but they may
not tread on his domain, nor pick him,
or his subjects or his kingdom to
pieces for souvenirs.
His majesty sits with digniied mien
on great throne completely covered
with raw cotton, as white as snow.
The throne vii! rest On q pedestal 6
feet high, built entirely Of cotton
bales. The drsperies about the throne
will be made from lint from the cotton
gin, dazzling in whiteness, and as fine
in texture, ss spiders web. His
crown and scepter are Of cotton, and
his giant limbs and colossal body are
Of the same material. The entire
kingdom is covered with carpet made
Of pure white cotton. Real cotton
plants will be installed and charac-
teristic group Of ststuary will occupy
space before the throne. This group
will consist Of o family Of negroes
picking cotton-the father, mother,
son and daughter, and little pioka-
ninny, too little to toddie, will lie on
his back on the downy carpet just as
he does on his native heath in the
sunny South. These figures will be
life size, like everything else in King
Cotton's domain, will be made Of
Mississippi's most staple product
except their heads, hands and feet.
These, like his msjesty's, will be
fashioned in wax.
The King Cotton feature of Mississ'
ippi's exhibit ia an artistic orestion
by Q leeding Mexican wax.worker aud
was designed mainly to attract atten.
tion to the States display. In the
universal cotton exhibit, under the
came roof, the etase commission will
install other exhibits OF absorbing in
terest. A practical cotton gin will be
in operation, looms will be working
and cotton in ell ite phases vii, be
shown. Machinery will be in motion
and cotton will be put through ell
processes and converted into fabrics in
plain view of visitors.

Miss Conyers, but I must ask you

He turned the key in the lock
and put it in his pocket.
"Please sit down again. Sit down,

"What do you mean?" gasped,
feeling very scared indeed.
''No bodily harm to you unless
you force me to it, that I swear
upon my honor. And really after
those delicious waltzes you have Civ
en- me i heenly regret having to
offer you any annoyance whatever.
But, Miss Conyers, business is bust

your society, and z feel sure you
will understand that some recon-
pense was due to me-. I must trou-

ooh, you cannot mean to-
fMiss Conyers, I am man Of
my word, and let ME nenind you
that time presses. My carriage is
waiting for me outside, and I have
long drive ahead of me. Now,
must L act as your lady's maid, OF do
you prefer to unclasp the diamonds
yourself?"
With trembling fingers I took off
and handed him my necklace and
the bracelet and the half dozen lit
tie brooches from my corsage.
3"Thanks, very much," he said,
slipping them deftly into his breast
pocket. "And might I venture to
remind you of that exquisite star
which nestles in your hair? Thanks
again. No other trifes you would
Like to part with? I think, my dear
Miss Conyers, if you take off your
left glove you might find something
interesting there. I believe I see
slight protuberance on the third
finger. Thanks once more. You
are too awfully good. And now T
won't bother you any further"
And he was gone, and ] heard
the lock shoot in the door, and the
key was turned on the farther side.
It was a full hour before any
one came near to let me out, and
by that time my fascinating partney
was far enough away.
It was quite true that he had
come down from town on purpose
for the assembly ball. The police
said that he was a well known Lon
