 Speaker Cannon.
 WASHINGTON, April 29.-The clos ing of the second session of the house of the Fifty eighth congress was made notable by demonstration which was evoked by a resolution offered by MT. Williams, the minority leader, testify ing to the courtesy and impartial man. ner in which Speaker Cannon had pre- sided over the house. The resolution was not of the perfunctory kind, but was expressive of the kindly feeling which men in the house of all parties entertained toward him. In a grace ful speech the speaker declared his ap- preciation of the resolution.
 The only debate of any importance was on the bill providing for the res- toration to the Naval academy of three cadets who had been dismissed for hazing, the house voting overwhelm- ingly against it.
 The members, after the speaker am nounced final adjournment, joined in singing patriotic airs Id slowly filed out of the hall after shaking hands with the speaker and bidding him goodby.

While every preparation had been made for the opening of the Connecti- cut base ball season yesterday, rain fell and prevented clashing of the teams.

Chamberlains Cough Remedy.

No one who is acquainted with
its good qualities can be surprised
at the great popularity, of Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy. 1t not
only cures colds and grip effect
ually and permanently, but pre-
vents these diseases from result
ing in pneumonia. 1t is also a
certain cure for Group. Whoop-
in cough is not dangerous when
this remedy is given. 1t contains
no opium or other harmful sub
stance and may be given as con-
fidently to a baby as to an adult.
1t is also pleasant to take. When
all of these facts are taken into
consideration it is not surprising
that people in foreign lands, as
we'll as at home, esteem this re-
medy very highly and very few
are willing to take any other af-
ter having one used it. For sale

"Did | understand you to say
that this boy voluntarily confess

to the school house?" asked the
magistrate, addressing the deter
mined looking female parent of
a small and dirty boy.
Eyes, sir, he did," the woman
responded. 81 just had to per-
suade him a little, and then he
told me the whole thing voluntar-
lily.
GLOW did you persuade him?"
quried his worship.
''Well, first l gave him a good
thrashing,' said the firm parent,
"and then | put him to bed with
out any supper and took his
clothes away and told him he'd
stay in bed till he'd confessed
what he'd done if 'twar the rest
of his days, and l should thrash
him again in the morning. And
in less than an hour he told me
the whole story voluntarily. y

The Test of Excellence.

Congressman Mudd, of Mary
land, recently told of a dispute
on matters political between an
lrishman Of Baltimore and a
friend from Montgomery county.
During the course Of their some
what heated arguments the
lrishman announced with con-
siderable emphasis that he
would never vote any save the
Democratic tibket.
81 am glad to say that am no
such hide bound partisan as YOU"
said the Montgomery county
man. 81 make it rule to vote
for the best man, no matter what
his party is"
"Upon me soul, | always
thought We nugwumps and ray
formers was a crazy lot" ex-
claimed the Celt, "and now /
know it. How are We goin' to
tell who is the best man, till the
votes are counted?"-New York

Equal to Emergency.

As an old colored preacher who
had been conducting a revival
meeting was reaching the end of
his series, relates the Indiana
polls News, he appeared before
the congregation and spoke thus
''Bretheren and sistern,> | come

ing all so'ts of things and to show
the brethren and sistren that |

this congregation suggest sub
ject and | will preach about it to
you"
For several minutes there was
an embarrassing silence while
the minister scowled over the
top of his glasses, waiting for
some one to propose a topic. No
one seemed anxious to take ad-
vantage of the opportunity, I'M
til finally a little fellow up in
the back part of the church yell
ed out: "Pllls." There was a
smoker as the preacher cleared
his voice and said:
"Pills. / had been requested

CATION to discourse befo' you all

Effect of Eloquenee on Jury

The most peculiar verdict that
was ever given in a criminal
case was rendered in the Boyle
circuit court many years ago,
and still stands on the records of
that court" said a lawyer from
Danville, according to the Louis
vile Dourier-Journal.
r. j. Breckenridge, formerly
attorney general of Kentucky,
was one of the lawyers in the
case. 1t was just at the close of
the war. Judge Breckenridge
had been captured during the
war and had been in prison for
some weeks, so he was familiar
with the inside of a penitentiary.
The case about which | am talk
ing was that of man who had
been indicted for shooting and
killing a horse, the property of
jim Harlan. AT that time the
crime was a felony, punishable
by CONTINENT in the peniten-
tiary for from one to five years.
The case went to trial and the
evidence showed that the de-
PENDANT was undoubtedly guilty,
and when the evidence was all
in and the court adjourned fol-
dinner, Judge Breckenridge de-
eided that his case was hope
lessly lost.
" Talk to the jury, Mr.. Bob,
said the defendant. The Judge
thought it was a useless waste 0.
energy, telling his client tha'
they would necessarily convic'
him. But finally he agreed t,
make a speech. When cour'
convened Judge Breckenridge
began his speech. He did no
touch on the evidence at all, bu
confined himself solely t.
painting the horrors of a peni
Tertiary. He told of the dark
ness, the loneliness and tn,
pangs which attack a man con
fined in what to him is tomb
The jurors did not remain long
but returned with this verdict
which was read by the foreman
We, the jury, find that tn,
defendant shot jim Harlan
horse, but not as charged in tn,

PENDANT to his freedom, being il
