1T IMPRESSED THE JURY.
Fall of Stovepipe Gained Verdict for
Eloquent Lawyer.

Fall of Stovepipe Gained Verdict for
Eloquent Lawyer.
1t was a characteristic of a certain
Tennessee colonel that when once his
oratory had begun to flow before the
jury nothing could stop it till the
fount was exhausted. On one occa-
sion he had just finished tearing his
opponents argument to tatters when
the court room stovepipe fell with a
crash.
There" cried the colonel, as the
clouds of SCOT arose, there is a sim
lille furnished by nature herself! Just
as that stovepipe has come unjointed
and fallen useless to the ground, SC
my adversary's argument has fallen
with as loud a crash. One is not
more hollow than the other, or more
in need of polish.
And, gentlemen of the jury, what
do these clouds of SCOT and smoke
resemble-those black masses smut
ting all they light upon-what do they
resemble more than the malicious IL
bells and black scandals which my
adversary has poured into your ears,
and with which he has endeavored to
blacken the character of my clients?
His case had seemed hopeless, but
when he had finished the stovepipe
comparison the jury was converted,
and returned what became famous IN
Western Tennessee as the stove
pipe verdict" in favor of the colonel s
client-Montreal Herald.

IGNORANCE IN BRITISH GUIANA.
Indian Woman Falls = Victim t.
Heather Superstition.


A CHASTITY tale of heather supersti-
ton was recently unfolded at the
criminal session of the supreme court
of Georgetown, British Guiana, when
the chief priest and medicine man"
of the Wapishana tribe of Carib Indi-
ans was charged with instigating the
murder of an Indian woman named
Kaliwa, who was in ill-health. The
priest. who was consulted, recon-
mended that she should be stung with
ants and marabuntas- This was duly
carried out. But Kaliwa continued
to pine away, and the priest was again
consulted, with the result that he said
she had been possessed of an evil
spirit in the shape of camodio
snake, and that the only means OF
dispossessing her was by burning her
alive. The woman was thereupon
slung in a hammock and placed over q
pyre, which the husband of the woman
lit. When examined in court ,Taruma
said he loved Kaliwa, but unless he
had done what the priest told him he
would have been afflicted with the
same malady, and so would all the
village. The jury returned verdict
of guilty, with a strong recommends
ton to mercy, and the priest was sen
fenced to death. Immediately after
ward, however, the governor granted a
reprieve.

WAR IN SANTA DOMINGO
Insurgents Cripple Government Supply
 Vessel

Monte Cristo, Republic of Santo Domingo-The Clyde line steamer New York, from New York. January 30, has arrived here followed by the Dominican gunboat Presidente. Lighters were sent alongside the New York to bring ashore some ammuni- tion which formed part of her cargo. When the lighters had nearly reached the steamer the gunboat fired on them and the revolutionists on shore replied with cannon and Mausers. The New York, being in danger, thereupon left Monte Cristo for Puerto Plata. The firing continued for half an hour, after. which the gunboat sailed for Puerto Plata. She was hit twice by round shot and apparently by hundreds of bullets, for she stopped and lowered boats, evidently to plug up the holes in her hull The failure to land the ammu milton is a serious blow to General Jiminez.
 Washington-Drastic measures will be taken by the government to end the anxiety in San Domingo. Con tinued violation of international law, the destruction of American property and disregarc of foreign interests has convinced officials that affairs there can best be improved by force.

 Delegate Rodey of New Mexico says he does not know whether his people would support the Democratic meas ure, but is inclined to think they would.

INCREASE IN IMMIGRATION
STATISTICS ON THE TOURIST
 TRAVEL
The Population of California iu 1900 Was 1,4S5,O53 Showing an Increase Over 1890 of 276,023

San Franclsco-Statistic collected by the California Promotion commit tee show that California has increased more in population since the census of 1900 than in the previous decade. Tourist travel in 1903 exceeded that of any previous year.
 The population of California in 1900 was 1,485, ,053, showing an increase over that of 1890 of 276,923, and assuming on conservative estimate, based on returns already received, that the population of the state has increased 20 per cent since 1900, an increase would be shown of 397, ,00O for the three years, or 10000 more than the total increase for the ten years previous. At this rate the population of California at the time the census of 1910 will be approximately 2,50O, GOO.
 It is estimated that San Francisco alone has increased over 100, ,OOO since 1900. A conservative estimate places the city's population today at 450, GOO. This is exclusive of the bay cities, which can be safely estimated at 15O,- GOO, making in all GOO, ,OO0 people about the bay of San Francisco.
 Los Angeles, the second largest city in the state, had in 1890 population of 56, 395, in 1900, 1o2, 479. The popu- lation of Los Angeles in 1903, as given by the clerk of Los Angeles county, is estimated at 150,0O0, an increase in the three years of 42, 751, being 15,S40 each year, or three times greater than the yearly average for the ten years previous.

CHEER NIPPON NAVY
Pro- Japanese Sentiment Expressed in
 Berlin
Berlin

Berlin-Japan's initial success in the first attack with torpedo boats on the Rnssia1 fleet off Port Arthur pro- duced deep impression both on the people and military and naval critics here. Groups gathered around the distributors of the extras in the streets and read the news almost with ex- clamations of gladness.
 The comment at the marine depart ment was that even the temporary dis ablement of three arships placed the Russians at great disadvantage in the future operations. It was added that the torpedoing of the enemy's vessels lying under powerful land batteries must have been carried out daringly and skillfully.
 As Viceroy Aexief did not mention any Japanese losses in his first dis patch, the co mmon talk of the naval officers was that the Japanese have shown that they can handle their ships better than the Russians.
 The Cologne Gazette defines Ger many's policy in East Asia in an article which is evidently inspired as follows: "We must direct our atten- tion to seeing that further complica- tions do not arise from this quarrel and that the regions in China, ad- jacent to the theatre of war, are not drawn into the outbreak. We can best subserve this purpose by policy which will leave no doubt of our full est neutrality.
