JURY CASE IN UNITED STATES
 COURT.

. UhL O<AoL IN UNALLD oL<A I17
 COURT.
 In the United States court yesterday was filed a motion for a jury trial in the case of Brent Thorstensen, of the lighthouse, against the Ritter-Conley company, of Pittsburg, a suit in dam ages.
 The case was originally in the supe- rior court, but upon the defendant suf- fertng a default there Attorneys Fitz- gerald & Walsh removed it to the jur- isdiction of the United States court. The defaulting of a case in the state court means that there is to be no jury trial, but that hearing in damages will take place, judge fixing the amount of damages.

A SERIOUS ASSAULT.
Percy Chapman, Colored, Held Without
Bond

Percy Chapman, colored, who was ar
rested by Officer Cullinane of the fifth pre-
cinct station on charge of assault on Will
liam Thomas late last Saturday night. was
brought into the Police Court this morning
and was committed to Jail pending the re-
covery of Thomas. Officer Cullinane swore
out the warrant of assault with intent to
kill, on which the prisoner was committed,
and this paper was filed with Clerk Potts
today. Owing to the serious character of
the offense no bond was fixed in the case.
The capture of Chapman was regarded
In police circles as a clever one. After
Thomas was found Sunday morning in
Southeast Washington with deep wound
In his head and in a serious condition and
robbed of his money and tools there ap-
peared no clue to the guilty party Thomas
revived enough. however to give a descrp-
ton of the assailant, and Oftlcer Cullinane,
who knows most of the residents of his
precinct suspected Chapman. He went to
Chapman's house. and after searching says
he found the missing tools hidden in the
chimney. This led to the arrest of Chap
man.
Thomas is still in the Washington Asylum
Hospital and IS recovering slowly.

Boundaries Of Mans knowledge.

From the National Magazine.
We taught by our great philosophers
that the sensible history of any concrete
form is history of its duration from the
moment 1t energies out of the realm of i'm
perceptibility to period when 1t will again
enter into a like state. That 1t Is certain
and demonstrable, however that every OBJ
tect has had a history prior to the time of
its perceptible recognition. and that it will
have a subsequent like history; and that no
knowledge of such existence can be said
to be complete or even entitled to the dig
nifty of the term, knowledge until Il has
comprised all that can be ascertaned be-
fore as well as after It's perceptible exist
ence. The history of man q being-as an
atom-would be incomplete which began
with his birth and ended with his death
We cannot say that we have knowledge of
any one thing In the world until we are
able to combine. not merely its sensible and
perceptible existence, but all that may pos
sibly be known of all that precedes and
all that succeeds perceptible existence to
the very border line of the unknowable.
Tracing backward from the moment of his
entrance into the field of perceptibility we
know that a period of embI yGnic develop
ment preceded the birth of this man, and
pressing our investigation farther back we
learn that the cellular tissue of whichshe is
composed existed In plants and other SUBJ
stances, and back still farther we find that
the atoms constituting the cells existed in
our investigation forward, we lind that de-
composition is followed by disntegration,
and this disintegratiOn passes his substance
again into the gaseous state. At these, two
extremes all knowledge of the individual
begins and ends

A Fish to Avoid.

From Field and Stream.
One of the most peculiar fishes Of Ameri-
can waters is the Johnny Grindle" or
dogfish but more generally called the bow
fin and mudflsh. Its characteristics are
striking, and its life history, SO far as we
know it. is curious and interesting. 1t is
said to bark like dog; to be as voracious
as a shark; more tenacious of life than an
eel; to guard it's spawning bed and protect
its fry with the parental courage of a black
bass: to swallow its young on the approach
of danger: to jump like an athlete and
fight like bulldog. But with all these at
tractive traits. this fish Is absolutely with
out SAVIOR and worthless as table fish,
and as such 1t has been tersely described
by old Michigan guide who, upon look
ing at a pile of grindles which couple of
guleless eastern anglers had brought into
camp, exclaimed:
Nav. thems doghsh a Norwegian
wouldn't eat EN-; their meats like mush;
hang 'em in running water and it'll wash
all the flesh Off en- their bones; lay 'em In
the sun half hour an ther'll be only
puddle left. Throw EN- out! Throw 'em
Out!'

Evils Of College Training.
From Harper's Weekly.

From Harper's Weekly.
We pass to what Mr.. Roosevelt terms
1.-THE normal function Of Harvard Col
lege, namely the function of turning out
each year many hundreds of young men
who shall possess the trained intelligence,
and especially the character. that will en-
able them to hold high the renown Of an
ancient seat of learning by doing useful
service foor the nation. For the right dis
charge of that function what kind of Spirit
what sort of habits, what principles, what
aims. should be inculcated? Mr.. Roosevelt
is quite right In saying that 1t is possible
to harm young men as well as help them
by sending them to college. II in the case
of any individual 1t is patent that his uni
versity training has produced taste for
refined idleness, a disinclination to sus-
tanned effort, barren intellectual AFRO
gance, or sense OF superciIious aloof-
ness from the multitude of strenuous men
who do the worlds work, then, obvious
ly his college experience has injured that
particular person. OF such injury we have
seen examples What we want to know is
how university can minimize the chances
of such injury. and what more 1t could do,
or ought to do, than it does now to tit
youth to play worthy part in life.

Degeneration.
From American Medicine

FROM american Meulclne.
Prof Schweninger, whose position as the
medical adviser of Prince Bismarck secures
for his announcements COSMOPOLITAN
audience. has caused some commotion in
the surgical circles of the metropolitan
communities of civilization by an attack
on indiscriminate surgical operation. He
says that the physician of the opening
years of the twentieth century is in dlnger
OF being progressively, and even perma-
nently. shunted by the operating surgeon
to the great detriment of the general pub
lie, who suffer so much and who understand
so little. The charge is by way of retort
to the accusation that toe few operations
were being performed in the hospital which
is under his charge 1t must indeed be
conceded that a multitudinous output of
operations Is an undeniable admission of
the failure of medicine. and. from the
point of view of the practitioner of medi-
cine the greater physicion of two Is not
he who can cut off a leg, but he who can
keep II on. On the other hand the methods
and the results of surgery appeal very
forcibly to the man in the street-who is
not himself an actual or prospective pa
uent The surgeons handicraft is of such
nature that the most skilled and I'M
educated can follow and appreciate its
traces; II makes the crooked straight and
the halt whole In the sight of every one
who cares to see. The surgeon binds up
broken limbs. lops OFF shattered members,
removes unsightly and unhealthy swellings
and excuses undesirable or superfuous in
ternal organs with ease and expediency
Accordingly, TO the disinterested and the
unemployed citizen he is the deus ex ma
china In all desperate and painful con-
ditions-especially the emergencies-in
which human life is at stake. His occu-
patton is more snowy than is the prac-
tice of internal medicine, and his art &C
cordingly appears to superficial minds as
the superior one.

as he approached the marriage license
counter at the city hall today.
This girl who accompanied the young
man, was an attractive creature of I'M

What Is the age of the young Iady?"
License Clerk Williams inquired.
Sixteen years" was the answer.
The law here requires that a woman
must be eighteen years of age before the
clerk of the court shall issue a license for
her to marry unless the consent of her

VIRTUE IN MINERALS
Hot and Other Springs That Possess
Fine Curative Powers.
From the London Lancet.

From the London Lancet
The medicinal hot springs in some parts
of Europe and the natural hot waters
owned by the United States government
at Hot Springs, Ark, have always puz-
zled science, for, while the curative eff
feet of the hot water was beyond doubt
no chemical analysis ever revealed any,
thing to satisfactorily account for It, 1t
could hardly be supposed that a few grains
per gallon Of chalk, suphate OF lime, com
mon salt and so on could have any marked
beneficial influence. The waters of Bath
Buxton. Contrexville and Hot Springs. Ark,
exhibit comparatively feeble degree of
naturalization and yet there can be no
doubt OF their therapeutic value Nor can
II be supposed that a water which is natur-
ally hot can have greater thera peutic eff
fects than would be gained by the similar
use of artificially heated water So far
then, the findings of the physicist and the
chemist do not afford satisfactory hypoth-
esis in regard to the thera peutic yalue of
such waters
The question now arises whether the
TACT that these waters are radioactive will
supply any explanation. Most, IL not all,
OF the thermal springs in Europe, which
have been examined have been found to
contain In slightly varying quantities argon
and heftum. and in the majority of cases
these waters have been found to be dis
sihSeis idoioactlNe lHueeu, the presence OF
argon and relium would appear to be insep-
arabic from radioactive properties. We
seem here to be getting some light at length
on what has long been an enigma, that of
two waters showing the same chemical COM
position as regards their saline constituents,
the one OF natural origin is distinctly SUI
perior, Independently speaking, to the one
artificially compounded.
The fact is that natural water yelling
up from the earth Is at the moment of its
discharge from its source radioactive, while
ordinary drinking water. rain water, well
water and the like do not generally ex-
hibit this property to any extent Further
since the property of radoactivity is rapidly
evanescent. the emanation quickly vanish
ing, it follows that If the benefit derived
from undergoing course of waters is due
to the radioaetivity of those waters the
treatment should obviously take place near
the source of the water-in other words,
the waters should be used when they are
showing maximum degree Of radioactivity.

Not a Revival of Chivalry.
from the London Chronicle.


Any one who saw the gallant way In
which the green grocer flung a couple of
roses on to the lap Of a charming lady
who sat on the top of an omnibus that
passed his cart in the neighborhood of Ken
sington the other morning would have
FASTENED to declare that chivalry is not
dead In this prosalc age of ours. The lady
blushed, the green grocer grinned, and
wave of romance seemed to have passed
over the roof of that omnibus which affect
ed even the early morning crowd that oc-
cupied 1t. Suddenly the driver looked over
his shoulder at the fayored one. Might
trouble you for that rose. miss?" he re-
marked. MY brother never forgets my
little gal at 'ome II 'appen to pass him on
his rounds Politeness made him add:
Won't We keep the little 'un. miss?". But
the omnibus was distinctly depressed.

Weather conditions and general forecast
The heated term continues undated In
the interior valleys and the middle Allan
tic states. The temperature has risen over
night in New England and the middle At
lantic states, a reading of SO degrees being
recorded at Philadelphia at am, 50 de-
grees at Boston and so degrees at New

Scattered showers have occurred In New
England, the lake region and upper Mis-
sissippi valley. also in the lower Missis-
Sippi valley.
The indications point to a continuance Of
the heated term for the next forty-eight
hours and probably longer. There Is a
slight probability of local rains in the
lower lake region and eastern New York
but the cooling afforded by these, should
they come, would be temporary only
The winds along the middle Atlantic coast

1t is stated that when Congress re-
assemblies it will find that the Presi-
dent has reconsidered his announced
intention never to send another
reciprocity treaty to Congress. 1t
will be recalled that, before the close
of the last session, several carefully
drawn reciprocity treaties were
sent to the Senate, ana there were
blocked by the efforts of high pro-
tectionists. The President at that
time declared that he would never
again send reciprocity treaty to
Congress till something had occurred
to break the calm nonchalance of the
stand-patters. 1t looks very much as
though this had come to pass. The
fact that Germany had negotiated
treaties with seven European coun-
tries which will become operative in
1905, that the new duties will bear
hard on the western farmers who are
expecting a bumper crop this fall,
and the boycott of American goods in
China all make toward forcing the
hand of the protectionists, and indi-
cate that the something" has hap
pened that will make the presentation
of new reciprocity treaties neces-
sisy. The wave of reciprocity has
swept all over the northwes., and it
is stated that the cattle-men and the
wheat growers will combine to use
their influence on the administration.
The President will not be slow to act
if he sees the conditions are ripe.
