The Patterson Jury.

New York, Special.-The jury which
is to decide the fate Of Nan Patterson
was completed at 7:4O o'clock Wednes-
day night when Recorder Goff adjourn
ed court until next Monday morning.
Miss Patterson is to again face a
jury composed almost entirely of mar
ried men, only two Of the accepted
panel Of twelve being single-one a
bachelor, the other widower.
Most Of the jurymen are men OF mid
die age and beyond. Many Of them
have large families, some grown daugh-
ters who are married.
1t was announced tonight that the
defendant will take the stand again
during the present trial and tell her
story of how Young met his death in
the hanson cab last June as he was
driving to the steamship pier to join
his wife on trip to Europe. 1t is also
alleged Miss Patterson is anxious that
her sister Ms. ]. Morgan Smith,
should become witness for the de-
fence, although it has not been deter
mined yet, either by the prosecution or
the girls lawyer just what part the
Morgan Smiths shall play.
When the last juror had taken his
place in one of the empty chairs re-
naming in the box. Recorder Goff
turned to the twelve men and delivered
the customary warning not to discuss
the case or to allow it to be discussed

New Plan of Improvement.

Work on the roads has been prosecu-
ted vigorously. Under the plan OF
| road improvement formed by the
board of revenue this year, it was
provided that each Of the eight dis
trict road oyerseers should have q
force of five men, and that this force
might be increased whenever occasion
required. When the repair work be-
gan ten days ago the force Of each Of
the road overseers was more than
trebled, and Improvements started in
earnest. 1t has been kept up ever
since. Indications now are that by
April 1 the county roads will be in
excellent condition.
Attention was given first to the mac
adamized roads. These were badly In
need of repair. The overseers went at
their work energetically. however,
ditching and filling in holes wherever
it was necessary to do so. The result
is that all these macadamized roads are
now being gotten into shape.
Though this work in repairing the
macadamized roads has been carried
forward with all possible speed, other
roads in the county have not been
neglected. Whenever bridge was re-
ported to be washed away or in need
Of repair, and wherever washouts' had
taken place, the road overseers prompt
" rushed a force of men to the place
complained of. The upshot Of their
work is that serious complaints have
ceased coming into the board Of rev.
enue. The road overseers will not.
however, relax their efforts to i'm
prove the roads in the rural districts.
They will, 50 long as the weather per-
mits, push the Improvements every.
where.
The board of revenue is highly
pleased with the results obtained by
the employment Of free labor in work.
ing the county roads. They say that
these results could not have been had
by the use of convict labor. They
believe also that the elastic plan OF
employing as few or as many men as
are needed to work the county roads
will solve the road improvement
problem. All the road overseers are.
it is said, taking special pride in their
work, and the eight separate forces
of men under the overseers are giving
excellent service.-Birmingham Age

lieves Togo will employ his torpedo
boats and torpedo boat destroyers,
which number more than a hundred
and are vastly superior to the Russian
torpedo boat flotilla. in harassing the
Russians while gradually picking on
the Russian warships. He said the

In the Land of Steady Habits.

Having once become fully convinced
of the benefit Of good roads and their
moderate cost to local taxpayers.
Connecticut is taking up the work with
zeal which promises soon to catch
up relatively with States that began
earlier and spent more money at the
start. This years road bill calls for
100000. which is twenty-five Of thirty
per cent. more than the last appro-
priation. Such a sum, when matched
with an equal amount from the towns,
ought to work wonders for rapid tran

Clearing the Roads.

The work is done at the right time.
and the roads are kept open in the
winter. Men are appointed in each
district to plow out the roads after
every storm, and travellers going
through the township are never de-
layed. Common plows attached to the
side of bobsled clean out the track.
The cost of this work is twenty-five
cents an hour for man and team. 1t
takes four hours for q man and team

little shoveling is necessary. as the

Ia Coming Fnst.

Martin Dodge, director Of the Office
of Public Road Inquiries, is stopping
at the Park Avenue Hotel.
1T is remarkable what hold the
idea Of good roads has taken upon
the minds Of the people Of every class
in every section" he said last night
I'm the extreme East. as much inter-
est is shown as in the rural sections
I am answering all sorts Of inquiries
from this city since the Brownlow bill
providing government aid has been IN.
troduced into Congress.
I'm some parts Of the South this sub
ject of good roads has actually super
seded the race question in pollticaI
and other conventions.
"They are begging from far on
Alaska, even, for information and lid.
On the Canadian side Of Alaska, where
good roads have received intelligent
government attention, flour costs IS:
in the distant regions. not far from the
American line, the same flour costs
S32-because the expense Of hauling
over the existing American roadways.
1.-The demands Of the people through
out the South are forcing some Of the
most conservative opponents Of gov
ernment aid in Congress from that
part Of the country to take an attitude
of approval toward the project. 1t is
a different matter to reply in the mega
tive to the farmer who argues that
the same government which gives
about $50, 100000 year for river and
harbor improvements should willingly
give $S,OOO,O0O per year for three years
to enable him to build better roads,
particularly when under the terms OF
the appropriation he must expend an
equal amount for the same purpose.
THE farmer, the railroads and al
most every aggregation Of capital are
together on this subject. Good roads
feed the railways, and in return re-
duce the cost Of commodities WI fch go
TO the farmers. Manufacturers are
benefited in both directions. The rural
free delivery and collection system in
its final value hinges on the question
of good roads."-New York Nerald..

If towards his home above,

I meet his gentle look of love
In every cloud Of white:
But straight the watery cloud
Changes to tomb and shroud.
When midnight hovers near.
And slumber seals mine eyes,
His voice still whispers in mine car,
His form beside me lies.
