LAST OF sEEcHER JURORS.

William II. Davis, Now Dead, Was

The Beecher-Tilton trial is recalled

which has elapsed since the Beecher

statement Of his relatives, has never

guilt or innocence Of Mr.. Beecher. At

Danger in Health Fads


"There are people, said La Roche
foucauld, who would never have been
in love had they never heard talk Of
it"
There are people, too, undoubtedly,
who would never-or hardly ever
be out of health If they thought less
about the matter, for ii is just as pos
sible to take too much care OF the
health as too little, and 1t probably is
every bit as mischieyous.
We have all heard Of the ''green-
eyed monster" jealousy, who makes
the food he feeds on" The health
worrier does much the same. He or

little symptom or ailment that depres-
sion of spirits results, and depression
is fruitful parent of both mental
and physical ills.

lately that he never knew strict

HOW FRANCE AIDS RUSSIA.
Assisting Materially in Speeding Fleet
to the East.

~ AAS AAeNa
There is little doubt that colonial
agents Of the French government, sta
toned along the route which the Rus
sian Baltic feet is taking in its east
ern voyage, have been authorized to
put a liberal construction upon the
laws of neutrality. France Is bound to
Russia by treaty, Of which the terms
have never been publicly defined 1t
is treaty compelling either party to
assist the other in any crisis in which
the national safety may be considered
at stake. Were France certain that
Great Britain would not fulfill the
obligations laid upon her by the
Hayashi-Lan LandsdoAne treaty, 1t Is pos
sible that French sympathy with Rus
sia would drive the French govern
ment to place its enormous naval re-
sources at the disposition Of st. Peters
burg. But such violent expression OF
sympathy would be perilous in the
extreme in the present condition or
international politics. 1t is impossible
for Japan to compel France to OBJ
serve strictly her responsibilities as
neutral. Some convenient French
ports are in the path Of the Baltic
feet. At one or two OF them the feet
has already received more than the
privileges that a neutral ordinarily
accords to a belligerent. The assist
ance which this policy gives to Rus
, sia can scarcely be overestimated
when we remember that the latter
power has no naval depot anywhere
In Asia south of Vladivostok, for Port
Arthur, dominated by Japanese guns,
Is not safe haven for Russian fleet.
Japan can protest against the undue
extension Of hospitality to the Baltic
voyagers, but she is no trim to make
that protest effective against power
ful naval antagonist. Politely, but
firmly, the French government may
Inquire. "What are you going to do
about it?"
