A WARNING TO cONGREssMEN.

The verdict in the case of Senator
Burton of Kansas isn't a surprise to
those who followed the evidence.
There was no doubt that he accepted
a fee from a get-rich-quick concern.
The contention of the government was
that he was to use his influence as
senator to keep the concern out of
trouble with the Postofice Depart
ment and to get its officers excused, if
possible, in the event they were called
TO account by the department for inn
proper use of the mails. Senator
Burton tried to show that he acted
simply as the attorney of the concern,
and that at no time did he use his in
fluence as senator in its behalf.
The evidence showed. however, that
soon after he became the concerns at
torney he went to see the postOffice
authorities in behalf of its previous
president. He found that complaint
had been made against that indi-
vidual, and in writing to the local at
torney about 1t he said that no action
would be taken against the concern
without his being advised about it and
that he would be informed in regard
to any hearing before the department
in matters affecting it or it's officials.
In conclusion he asked for his first
months salary.
From this it would seem that he
was hardly acting as an attorney, but
was depending rather upon his in
fiuence as a senator to assist the con-
cern. At least that is the view which
the jury seems to have taken of the
matter. Doubtless some of the SEN
ators in their desire to make fees find
it rather difficult to draw the line de-
hning where the influence of a senator
ends and that of an attorney begins
when they are filling both positions in
matters before the departments. If
their vision were not obscured some
what by the fee the probabilities are
they wouldn't be troubled by this diff
Guilty.
The indications are that a good
many congressman have been perilous-
ly near breaking the laws in recent
years, if in fact they have not actually
broken them in their dealings with the
Senator DIETRICH had a
nasty charge lodged against him. and
escaped a trial only because it ap-
peared that he hadn't taken the oath
as senator at the time the act was
done which was the basis of the
charge against him, and Congressman
was in. danger of having
charges preferred against him in con-
nection with glove contracts, but it
was found that the statute of lin1ita-
tions was in his favor The shaking
up tina. has been given the Postoffice
has had a disturbing ef-
feet upon congressman as we'll as on
postoffice officials. 5000
In Kansas it seems the verdict in
the Burton case is accepted as Great
ing vacancy in the Senate from that
state. Even if the verdict should be
set aside by a higher court the SEN
ator's political career is looked upon
as ended

THE RRYAN-RENNErr CASE.

1t is expected that the trial of the
Bryan Bennett will case will be begun
in New Haven to-day. Mr.. and Mrs.
Bryan are there, and both of them,
it is expected, will be witnesses in the
case.
The main features of the case are
generally known. Mr.. Philo S. Ben
nett, a merchant of New Haven. had
great admiration for Mr.. Bryan and
his political principles. So great was
this admiration that on several occa-
sions he contributed money to his cam
paign fund. He also went to Lincoln,
Neb., and paid a visit to Mr.. Bryan.
While guest in Mr.. Bryan's house
ne made a will, Mr.. Bryan writing it
and Mrs. Bryan copying 1t on a type
writer. In the win Mr.. Bryan was
given $4,000. The amount was actual
ly bequeathed to Mrs. Bennett, but she
was directed to dispose of it in ac-
cordance with the terms of a letter
which was to be seen by no one but
herself and Mr.. Bryan.
The widow obJecting. the surrogate
at New Haven wouldn't admit this let
ter as a part of the Will The trial
to-day is to settle two points, namely,
whether or not Mr.. Bryan exerted un-
due influence on Mr.. Bennett, as
charged by the widow Bennett, and
whether the letter shouldn't be filed
as part of the will. Unless the let
ter is made a part of the will Mr..
Bryan will not get his $4,000.
The trial is expected to be an in
teresting one. Mr.. Charles Towne,
whom the Silver Republicans in 1900
named for Vice President, is to argue
Mr. Bryan's case for him. and Mr..
Bryan is expected to make such a
good witness for himself that the jury
will be convinced he ought to have the
money. It begins to look as II II
would cost Mr.. Bryan pretty nearly
the whole amount OF IL 20 get 1t.

Halves and Quarters.

Joseph NJ. Edwards, who travels for
a Baltimore dry goods house, told the
following at the Grand the other even
ing, says the New York Globe:
"In Baltimore there's an old bache-
Ior I'm acquainted with who's a bit
of wit in his way. He lives, or,
rather, did before the fire, as it burn
ed him out, in very dilapidated house
and his rooms were always in great
disorder.

have some one. to keep the place tidy,
and make it homelike.'
1.-THE fact is, I've never thought of
it, he replied, but it seems quite feas-
Ible that a better half would want
better quarters

old fellow, and no one seems to know

-Accordign to Paris newspapers the
surgeons are now dressing wounds
with silver leaf. The silver is simply
placed on the wound or ulcer, and as
it sticks closely to the surface little
cotton soaked in collodin is SUFFICIENT
to keep it in place. The effects of
this sheet of silver are said to be very
remarkable. q
Henry Labeuchere, that stormy
petral of British journalism, has just
fought his ~ .forty-fourth action
for libel and he lost, being
condemned to pay $4,000 dam
ages for saying that certain ply
sician was not duly qualified and that
he was a quack. This is the heaviest
verdict ever brought against the editor
of Truth, but as he is a very rich man
it is possible he thinks the fun worth the
money. OF the fbrty-four suits he won
nineteen, lost eight, in two lthei juries
failed to- agree5 five were settled out of
court and ten were withdrawn by plain
tiffs who did not care to face trial.

Logical Deduction.

Senator w. B. Plunkett of Adams.
Mass, related this story at the Gre
gorian the other day, says the New York
Globe:
"a friend of mine UP in my state
has an S-year-old son who is as bright
as radium. One day recently he asked
his dad. I'm a chip of the old block,

"'Yes, my son. replied the father.

Philadelphia has adopted a system
by which the city will carry its own
fire insurance. According to the plan.
the conversion into cash of the per-
petual policies now in force will fur
nish the nucleus of a fund which will
be added to, from year TO year, by the
appropriation of the sums now paid In
premiums, until it shall grow into an
adequate reserve, and the present cost
of insurance may then be devoted to
the maintenance Of the property.
''This system" says the Philadelphia

The passage by the Maryland Leg

press of the North and West to once

prejudice against the South. Many of

Jim Crow" car is an abandoned cat
tie or swine car, painted black and put
into service for the transportation of
colored people. We have recently seen
the cars referred to as unfit for

the extreme" Those who made these
assertions did not know. of course,
what they were talking about, but they

car in the South is merely a separate
coach provided for the accommodation
Of colored travellers. The laws requir-
ing the separation of the races are
carefully drawn and provided that the
accommodation provided for one race
shall be just as good as that provided
for the other. Take the placards off a
Jim Crow car and a white car,
and nobody could tell them apart, for
the reason there. is no difference. The

A new racing automobile, just turn
ed out from a shop in Massachusetts,
has eight cylinders. Under brake test
the engine has developed 100 horse
power, but it is said to be capable of
increasing this considerably. In gen.
eral appearance the machine is said to
be not unlike the Winton Bullet, which
was recently seen in this city, except
that it is of longer body and sits low
er to the ground. 1t win be entered
in the races of the coming summer.
Next winter, in all probability, it will
be brought South, to this city and
florida. The development and concen-
tration of power in a small compass
that has taken place during the past
few years, in connection with automo-
bile building, has been wonderful. In
the case of this machine, for instance,
enough power to run sawmill or a
large river steamer, has been installed
in a space over which a man may

near where the find was made, told
Coroner Markley that on last Sunday
evening a rig was driven along an
unused road that leads up to the
place where the little body was
found. Mr. Backmeyer's hired hand
saw the horse and rig, but did not OBJ
serve closely enough to identify the
occupants of the buggy. The road is
one that is unused and this is the
first rig that has passed along the
narrow path for some time. The par
ties were certainly familiar with the
driveway, or at least knew where
they were going by having visited the
place previously.
Mr.. Haislev remembers having sold
shoes in that box to a young man
about twomonths ago, but as yet he IS
unable to recall who it was.

child as there is no evidence Of medi-
