An escaped convict was on trial be-
fore a French court, and the question
turned upon his identity with prison
er known to have been tattooed. There
was no appearance of colored marks
upon his arm, and the question submit
ted to NJ. Leroy, the mclico-legal OK
pert, was whether the man had ever
been tattooed. NJ, Leroy applied strong
friction to the skin of the mans arm,
This had the effect of bringing out
white lines as cicatriccs, with slight
blush tint. BY this means the word
sophie" was plainly leSible in white
marks on the Redeemed skin. This
proved the identity of the convict.

Japan is the ideal club land In this
country the club world has good
many class and other limitations. But
in Japan the system has flourished
from time immemorial and enters into
the daily life of all sorts and condi-
tiOns of men. 1t is no uncommon thing
for people of means to belong to from
ten to a hundred different clubs, be-
nevolent or social. all of which exist
mainly to give the members an oppor,
tunity for one festive gathering the
more. In Tokyo there are 5000 differ
ent societies, from the Red Cross to
the Mustaches and the Pockmarked,
which explain themselves.

AN IMPOSING SPECTACLE.
The Opening of the Supreme Court
of the United States,


AS the hands of the clock point to IL
the crier of the supreme court of the
United States raps with his gavcl, the
murmur of conversation ceases, and
rise while the crer slowly announces,
'The honorable the chief justice and
the associate justices of the supreme
court of the United States" Robed in
black silk gowns, they walk with slow
and dignitied steps toward the bench,
and as the chief justice appears at the
entrance at the rear they slowly pro
ceed to their seats. AS they do the
crier cries: "Oyez, oyez, oyez! All per-
sons having business before the hon
orable the chief justice and the associ-
6le justices of the supreme court of
the United States are admonished to
draw near and give their attention, for
the court is now sitting. God save the
government of the United States and
this honorable court"
Vt is an imposing and inspiring spec
tacle, the mere witnessing of which in
creases the red corpusclcs of ones pa
triotiSm. No man entering that dome
like courtroom may wear his ovcrcoat
No member of its bar may appear be-
fore it in coat of any color other than
black. Such is the dignity and i'm
preSSiveneSS Of that tribunal that men
to whom embarrassment has long
been n stranger evidence the renewal
of their acquaintance with it by a
stammering speech a quickened
breath, a nervous manner, when ad-
dressing the court-Green Bag.

FIVE SHOTS AT A DEER.
a Guide Forms Theory Of the Effect
of High Power Bullets.

OF rlQn fOWer Bullets.
Jonathan Balch of the Twin Lakes
country in nothern Minnesota has a
shooting anecdote of the last season
which goes to prove either that some
deer are insensible to pain or else
that they like to be shot at.
Balch, who makes a living as a
guide, was in the woods in Novem-
Der by himself trying to get a deer
for an employer who would take it
home with him and tell his friends
how he killed it. lie was carrying a
5000 rifle belonging to his patron, and
he had never shot it. The patron mad
impressed upon him that it was a
high-power gun, which threw It's pro-
iectile at least three inches high at
fifty yards, and in aiming at anything
inside Of a hundred yards it was nee
essary to aim low to avoid shooting
over.
After walking an hour Balch jump
ed a deer from a pine slashing. 1t
was two-year-old buck, with hand
some spike horns. 1t ran straight
down narrow trail for forty yards or
so and then stopped across the trail,
standing broadsde on to the man and
looking back to see what had disturb,
ed it.
The hunter had dropped to the
ground when the deer jumped and
now rose to his knees behind an old
stump, He rested the barrel on the
stump and sighted with care. Re
memDerlng the injunction, he drew a
bead on an imaginary point just un-
der the deer, centring a perpendicular
line passing fraction of an inch be-
hind the deer's shoulder. 1t was his
purpose to hit in the centre of the
body just behind the shoulder and
shatter its heart,
At the crack of the gun the deer
jumped foot high. straight up, lit in
its tracks and stood still, its head yet
turned and gazing down the trail.
Plainly it had not seen the haze Of
the smOkeless powder
Balch tried it again, and the same
thing happened. lie tried it again
with like results, and then a fourth
time, the only difference being that
at the last three shots the deer did
not jump, but merely stood and
gazed
Balch had never missed SO many
shots in his life and Swore hard at
the new gun. Then he drew line
bead exactly upon the spot where he
wished the lead to land, and the deer,
with one huge leap, went down stone
dead.
Examination showed that Balch had
been doing good shooting though he
did not know it. Each of the four pre-
viOus shots had gone where he aimed.
They had just scraped the skin of rhe
body from half an inch to an inch be-
hind the forelegs Two of them mad
merely burned off the hair; two of
them had broken the skin and drawn
a little blood.
Nobody knows why the buck stood
there to be shot at a fifth time when
it had been touched four times.
Balch's theory is that the highpower
bullets are so small and travel with
such velocity that a Craze from them
inflicts no pain at all and that the
deer did not know it was hit.

Government Trees.

In the Malay Peninsula there is at
the present moment an area of 1900
acres planted with the Hevea Brasili-
enss, the tree furnishing the Para
rubber of commerce. This area repre-
sents about 100000 trees, the result
of paintings introduced within the
last fifteen years by the government
of India. When the trees were hrst
planted the natives took but little in
terest in the experiment. AS The
price of coffee began to decline they
began to look for other objects of
cultivation and for the last six years
or so they have taken the matter sori-

dashed up the street with the helpless
woman on the seat. The woman
showed great presence of mind by
clinging to the seat all the time talking
to the horse in Il gentle voice. At the
corner of Elm street the wheels struck
the curling and the carriage came very
near going over, but righted and the
horse kept on. Near Chalmers ice
house on Main street the horse was
headed and turned into Il yard where
he fell and was stopped. The man es-
capped with n few bruises while the
woman. thanks to her coolness, was
unhurt. The horse was scratched

BRYAN TALKS.
Says Parker Cannot Possibly Get

from the moment that he set foot in the
hotel. he was an exceedingly busy man,
his callers being so many that he found
lit difficult to obtain time for meals.
He said. tonight:
after a conference with n number
of delegates from various sections | am
satisfied that the opposition to Judge
Parker is sufficient to make his nomi-
nation highly impregnable if not inn
possible. There}shas been no concen-
tration upon any aQti-Parker candi-
date, but two argumes is are having
weight with the delegates. Among the
radical Democrats the feeling is thai
the party must not be surrendered into
hands of Wall street. The Influences
back of the Parker candidacy Are SO
Intimately associated with the Trusts
and great corporations that the Dclh6-
cratic party could not appeal to tift
masses. The party cannot afford to-
entrust it's future to the men who We're
responsible for the party's defeat in
1856 and 1900.
Mr. Parker had record of his own
he might be judged upon that record
Put as he has refused to speak h. must
be judged by the record of his political
manager Ex-senator Hill. and his iinan-
cial agent August Belmont, and their
records. A man who is weak enough to
put his candidacy in their hands before
the convention would not he strong
enough to re sist their influence after the
election. if he were by any possibility
successful.
The second objection is the one that
carries weight with the conservative del
egatcS, viz: That he cannot win. Ii is
becoming more and more apparent that
he would prove a weak candidate and
this is rohbing him of whatever strength
he had among the men whose first desire;
il to win. With such a candidate the ba ~
tie would begin with a foot race. IND
end with rout The two arguments
seem quite certain to prove his uhdoing

CONTRASTING DELEGATIONS
National Committee Will Hold Confer.
ence to Hear Evidences.

St. Louis. July 3.-Tomorrow morning
at 10 O'Clock the national committee vii
meet for the purpose of heariny evidence
in q number OF contests, and deciding in,
favor Of delegates who are to be seated
under the temporary roll call.
The real fight in the majority of those
cases will come before the committee on
credentials. The principal contest will be
in Illinois, where protests are made
against two of the notwithstanding
two from each of Is districts The base
of the contest in all these cases is practi-
cally the same. it being alleged that the
Hopkins faction in the Illinois Democ-
racy arbitrarily unseated delegates of the
Harrison and Hearst factions for pur-
poses of their own. without a shadow
of cause. The Hopkins people, on the
other hand. claim that the original cleo
tons were void and that the action taken
at the Illinois convention when the dele
ga ties of the Harrison and Hearst peo-
pie were unseated, was only rightinsr n
wrong previously committed
The fight for the seats in the Illinois
delegation takes on added interest from
the fact that William j. Bryan has enter
ed the list of activity against the Hop
kinS people.
I'm addition to the contests in Illinois.
there will be a. fight for all of the seats;
of the delegates from the District OF
Columbia. The Hearst management
claim that arbitrary rulings by the char
gates friendly to Gorman.
Practically the same ground of arbi-
trary rulings is made the issue in the 10th
district of Indiana.
Other contests that will come before
the committee, tomorrow morning, are
from the I'd Maryland district, Eth ONO.
Of Pennsylvania; the I'd. 9Th and 18th OF
