the United States frigate Constitution
had carried through the war OF lSl2.
II was placed OH the bow of the frigate

The EVIL Eve.

One of the remarkable things about
the superstition of the "evil eye is
that it is often attributed to whole peo-
plies by others who dislike or hate
them. In ancient times the Thebans,
the Illyrians and the Thracian women
were so regarded. In these latter days
the Christians Of Asia Minor have the
same feeling about the Turks and the
Turks about the Christians.

BUCKLIN GETS THE STAY
Subp9nas Served on Il. {. pande1-
biH and Others Useless.

Justice MacLean in the Supreme Court yester-
day, granted a stay in the trial of David W.
Bucklin, Canfields manager, which was to have
begun tomorrow before Justice Herrick in the
criminal branch of the Supreme Court The stay
was granted, District Attorney Jerome said
on Friday it might be, on an application by
Bucklin's counsel for change of venue. This
may permit several witnesses, including Reg
inald c. Vanderbilt, to escape testifying in the
trial.
John Delahunty, who is Canfield's personal at
torney and one of Bucklin's counsel, filed with
Justice MacLean the application for change in
the place Of trial. and there were about eighteen
hundred folios in the bulky petition. The appll-
cation is to be argued in Special Term, Part L,
of the Supreme Court, on March 3. and Justice
MacLean's order stays the trial Of Bucklin until
that time. Mr.. Delahunty was asked yesterday
if he would apply to have Saratoga County
designated as the county for the trial of Buck
lin, and he replied:
NO, 1 would not like to have the case sent
to Saratoga because acquittal there might
be said to be due to influence.
.3ucklin's affidavit declares that it would be
Impossible to get fair trial in New-York Coun-
ty. because of the many newspaper interviews
with District Attorney Jerome, which have been
published and because of the statement of Mr..
Jerome before Justice Herrick that the house
No. East Forty-fourth-st. was as well known
as gambling house the Waldorf-Astoria was
known hotel.
Does Bucklin maintain that the house No. 5
East Forty -fourth-st has not been gambling
house?" Mr.. Delahunty was asked.
He does replied the lawyer.
District Attorney Jerome will oppose the ap-
plication for a change Of venue in the Bucklin
case but the trial OF Bucklin will have TO go
over to next month, and Justice MacLean's stay
will prevent proceedings which the District At
tcrney may have had in view to compel the at
tendance of Reginald c. Vanderbilt and some
other unwilling witnesses at the trial Mr.. van
derbilt one of several prominent men who
were wanted as witnesses at the Bucklln trial to-
morrow. They failed to appear when the case
called, and postponed last Monday. and
since then their lawyers have been trying to
make arrangements by which they could escape
court proceedings to compel their appearance.
The stay in the Buckln trial renders useless
the subpCpnas which were served on Mr.. Wander
bilt and others who were trying to escape giving
testimony about Canfield's gambling house Mr.
Jerome will not be able to have them served with
subpoenas in this city again If they persist
in staying away until after the trial of Bucklin
is begun in New-York County or in some other
county The action of Bucklin's counsel Is re-
garded by the District Attorney as a trick to
help such witnesses to escape from the prosecu-
ton
