JURlES DlSCREDIT TES rlr1ONY OF
HIRED COLLECTOR OF EVIDENCE
THREE ACQUITTALS in THREE DAYS
whitney Didn't Know Whether He
Drank Whiskey or Ginger Ale
Received 5000 For His Work.

Three more trials for alleged viola
tions of the local option law took place
last week and in each the prosecution
failed to secure conviction before a
jury. These were the long-heralded
whitney whiskey cases.
One, John G. Whitney, it transpired
at the trial, had been employed by a
representative of the anti-saloon
league to procure evidence of vio-
lations of the local option law. He re-
ceived $1OO down and was to receive
an additional 500 upon securing con-
victions.
The first case tried was that entitled
the State VS.. Jesse Donson, bartender
at Matt Blindauer's Mint resort.
The complaint was sworr to by Rev.
). r. Burhhart upon information
furnished by ]. G. Whitney, The
case came up for trial last Wednesday
afternoon in Justice Morris court be-
fore jury consisting of L. J. Watson,
VIM. Steele, c. F. Moore, R. c. Par
menter, David Burke and Bernard
Oertli.
Whitney the prosecuting witness
testified that on March 20 he had pur-
chased liquor of the defendant calling
tor "ginger ale." Upon cross-exam-
ination he swore that he did not know
whether he got whiskey or not but
that the stuff made him drunk. He
admitted that he was to receive 5000
tor collecting evidence, part of which
had already been paid. He couldn't
remember whether he entered the re
sort during the day or night; who was
present; whether he paid for the drinks

Dissatisfied With the Times,

They were talking about the feel.
ing of unrest and dissatisfaction that
p~ervades certain sections of the coun-
try up at the Yale commencement.
Frank +. Dole. who is famed as the
owner Of the Edgewood Kennel of
bull terrier dogs. listened attentively
and suddenly broke up the whole con.
ference with his remark:

son.Seton or whatever his name hap.

You know he is strong on this new
fad of nature study. and he was re.
marking on this same spirit Of unrest
in the animal kingdom. Says dogs are
just as dissatisfied as men-and
skunks. Claimed he could understand
their complaints and while chatting
carelessly flung a bit Of dog biscuit at
Edgewood Monarch. The dog snap
ped 1t up, spat IL out, and then
growled.

He held out his hand and Marriott
grasped it gratefully.
The three weeks he was obliged to
spend turning his pounds OF platinum
into ready money and negotiating for
a coasting steamer for the return to
Lis treasure passed like a pleasant
dream. He spent part Of every day
with the Whyards. and although he
saw no more of the father. who, he
was told, had been suddenly called
away from town, he always saw Edith.
and he was more than content. When,
after the three weeks were over, he
sailed away again In the tramp steam
er Montevideo. which he had char.
tered and manned especially for the
voyage, he was already counting the
days before he could return for her.
He carried a picked crew OF twenty
men, and in view of the wild region to
which they we're bound and the valu-
able return cargo, shipped a few Win

and manned. AS 1t approached the

Lifting a Glass Of Water.

may break IL by mere pressure and
cut your hand. Besides. thin glasses
are very apt to have little hicks in
the edge which will both cut you and
spoil the trick by letting in air.
The glass must be a small one, as
II has to be well covered by the palm
of your hand. An egg cup or a wine
glass with n stem is best. II you
use a tumbler-which. being small In
diameter, will probably be not very
tall-you will have to hold it in the
other hand or set 1t on an inverted
tumbler or a block of wood in order
to get room to bend your fingers
down properly.
The trick seems especially difficult
because the hand Is fiat and the glass
nearly full of water, but these are the
very things that make 1t possible. You
cannot lift the glass with your fingers
bent-unless, of course. you actually
take hold OF it-as 1t IL the straight
ening of the fingers that auses the

Odd Way to Lift a Glass.

You ran surprise people very much
by laying your hand. with apparent
carelessncss. on a tumblcr or wine
glass nearly full of water and then
lifting the glass. water and all. by
raising your hand. with the fingers
outstretched in order to prove that
q do not take hold Of the glass In
any way. Probably there will be
some people whom you will not sur.
prise. These will say. "Oh. that's
easy" try To do the trick themselves
and fail.
The secret Of success is this:
Though your fingers are straight when
you lift the glass. they must be bent
downward sharply when YOU place
your palm upon II. You must press
your hand down rather firmly in or
der 10 make an alright joint between
1t and the rim of the glass. which
should be wet to make the joint tight.
err. Now suddenly straightcn your
fingers and lift your hand. This mo-
ton of the fingers causes the flesh
of the palm tn move in such a way
as to cause a partial vacuum n sue
ton which you can feel distinctly.
The space between the water and
your hand Is made a little larger. and
therefore the air in that space Is rare
fed or made thinner and eXerts less
pressure. Therefore. the greater all
pressure outside. acting on the bot
tom and sides of the glass, forces II
upward against your hand strongly
enough TO lift both glass and water
when you raise your hand.
