THE INTELLIGENT JUROR.
one Who Had to Inquire the Meaning
of "PlaintIn" and "De-
PENDANT"

1t is common and natural practice Of
lawyers in addressing jury to single out
one member who seems to them the most
intelligent, and to deliver their appeals to
him. They usually feel that il they can
impress him, his influence will be valuable
in its effect upon the other members. II
they make mistake they rarely discover
it, says the New York Sun. But the
stenographer of one division of the supreme
court tells an incident of a mistake that
was found out.
All the testimony in a case had been
taken, the lawyers for both sides had
summed up, and the judge had charged the
jury, when up rose the intelligent juror
whom both counsel had singled out as the
recipient of their imprisoned appeals. He
wanted the. court to give him some in
formation.
81 have been bothered good deal" said
the juror, about two words the lawyers
use here all the time"
"What are they?" asked the court, ex-
pecting to be called upon to expound res
inter altos acta or fortiori, or some other
dead terms.
"Why, plaintiff and defendant" said
the juror. 81 don't just know what they
mean.

Gen. MiIes says the AmerIcan soldier
IL Not Responsible for Craei-
ties In philippines.

New York, May 16.-The Army and
Navy Journal prints letter from Gen.
Nelson A. Miles, in which the writer
says that he 'went to the Philippine
islands not as a tourist, but in an Of
fetal capacity, and that the instructions
ADDRESSED to him as lieutenant general
commanding the army came fr m
the highest authority, viz: the presi-
dent, in which he was directed to give
special attention to the instruction.

In referring to his official report on
the Philippines, Gen. Miles says that
mo one can have more sacred re-
gard for the honor of the army than
myself"
Coming TO the subject of cruelties
in the Philippines, Gen. Miles letter
reads as follows:
ut is idle to assume that campaign
ing. in the Philippines has conditions
that warrant resort to medieval cruel
ty and departure from the honorable
methods of conducting warfare and
that such departures as have existed
should be overlooked and condoned,
1t is most gratifying that the serious
offenses have not been committed by
the soldiers unless they were under the
direct orders of certain officers who
were responsible. Soldiers have with
held fire when ordered to shoot pris-
oners, protested against acts of cruel
ty, and written to relatives at home
urging them to take action to put a
stop to those crimes. 1t will ever be
one of the glories of the army that
such deeds committed by whatever au-
thority are abhorrent to the American
soldier. The officers who are response
BILE, using chiefly cruel Maccababees,
do not by any means constitute the
American army and there must be
very unmistakable line drawn be-
tween the great body of honorable
and faithful officers and brave soldiers
whose records have been commendable
and those of whatever station, whose
acts have received and should receive
the earnest condemnation of all hon
orable men,"

RUINED BY a

New York, Nov. l6.-Mrs. Elizabeth
Weisen filed a petition IN bankruptcy yes
terdaY because she has been ruined by an
order of court to build a monument over
her husbands grave. Her liabilities are
placed at $42, SAT. with no available assets.
When her husband, a wealthy resident OF
the Bronx, died two years ago, 1t was
generally believed that Mrs. Weisen would
be able to live on the income of his prop
erty. Ellis will decreed that a magnificent
monument be erected for himself and his
wife in Woodlawn cemetery. He had had
plans drawn.
Whether he had overesti1rated his
wealth. or whether he underestlmated the
cost of the monument is still a matter of
doubt among his relatives. 1t was found
that the estate would not. only be con-
sunled, but that the widows own re-
sources would be taxed heavily to carry
out her late husbands wishes. Mrs. Wei
sen appealed to the courts for relief, but
it was decided that so far as his estate
was capable of bearing the expense, his
wishes must be carried out. The monu-
ment, one of the finest in Woodlawn. has
been built, and Mrs. Weisen Is now worse

Would Poison the Family.
Sioux Falls. S. D., Nov. 1S.-The pro-
curing of warrant, by b. F.! WOODS, a
respected resident of Hartford, This
county, for the arrest of his wife on a
serious charge, was the elimination OF
a series Of sensations which for some
time have furnished food for gossip
among the people of the town. Woods
and his wife nave been married less
than a year. The trouble between them
had for some time been the subject of
quiet gossip, but was not brought to
public notice until Woods secured the
warrant for her arrest.
The. warrant was secured on the
charge that Mrs. Woods had threatened
TO administer poison to the family in
their foOd.esHe stated that she had also
threatened to cut the threats of his
two daughters by a former marriage.
One OF the girls is 10 and the other u
years old.
The. elimination of the trouble be-
tween the couple resulted i'll the public
being Informed hat weeks ago Mrs.
Woods made a desperate attempt to
end her W life by taking a poisonous
drug. Her. attempt would have been
successful had it not been for the
prumptness Of her husband and a ply
siclan whom he summoned. Woods
stated to Judge Gage, from whom he
secured the warrant, that in view Of
aer attempt to end her w life he was
absolutely in fear that she would at
tempt the lives of her daughters. and
wanted her placed under bonds to keep
The peace.
Interest was added to the case by
Mrs. Woods, who, when arrested and
taken into court. determined to act as
ler own attorney. She defended her
elf SO Well that the court hesitated to
enter final judgment in the case and
postponed definite action for a few
days.
Woods. and his wife effected a com
promise before the date set for the
hnal hearing, she agreeing to go to the
nome of relatives at Richmond, Va. He
furnished her the necessary money and
she departed.
The wise mes hint that this will not
ne the end of the trouble.
