May Be unpIeasant Task.

"In the performance of our duties, we may meet with many an unpleasant task but duty is often meritorious only as the performance is difficult and disagree able. True we should not be influenced by public clamor, but let Us take care to distinguish between the noise of the rabble and the honest expression of pub lie opinion. Let us take care to stem the rising tide of disrespect for the de- cisions and verdicts of our courts and juries. You can do much in that drec- tion, gentlemen, by performing your duty now.
 Refuse to permit this case to be taken from your consideration. Demand all the evidence surrounding it. Investigate com pletely and fearlessly. IF you decide that no crime has been committed; no inius- tice shall be done. If you decide that the law has been violated justice will have it's way. Gentlemen, I charge you that it is your sworn duty to continue your investigation of this case to the end"
 At the completion of Judge O'Sullivan's S charge, Chairman VanNalkenburg of the jury went to the district attorneys office to ask for the evidence in the district attorneys possession. When he reached the office, however, he was told that Mir Jerome had gone away and might not be back until late in the afternoon. He had a talk with the assistant district attor- ney. Perkins. who has charge of the grand jury proceedings in MT. Jeromes absence, but went away without obtain ing the evidence which was sought He said he would call on MT. Jerome later in the day.

WANTS THE JURY ID PROBE ID BOTTOM 0'SuIIivan Tells Them What is
 Expected DUTY MAY BE UNPLEASANT Says After All They Are the Ones to Determine Whether Corporation
 Political Contributions
 Constitute Crime.
DUTY MAY BE UNPLEASANT

New York, March 26-In charging the grand jury today, Judge osullivan of the Court of General Sessions reiterated his statements to the effect that it is for the jury to decide whether the gift of insurance funds 10 political parties, does or does not constitute larceny. In this opinion Judge OSullivan disagreed with District Attorney Jerome, who had advised the jury that such a gift is not larceny.
 Tt is your sworn duty Judge o'Sulli- van told the jury today, ito continue your investigation to this end. You should refuse to permit the case to be taken from your consideration and de- mand the evidence and investigate fear lessly.
 "Information has reached me that owing to the colloquy between the court and the district attorney following the courts instructions to you last Friday there exists a doubt among you as to the real meaning of the courts advice on the question discussed and your duty with regard to it.
 Limited to Franchise Investment.
 Officers of a corporation who are em- ployed to manage and invest corporate funds for the profit of a corporation, are limited in that respect to financial in- vestments. So watchful is the law over funds entrusted to such officers that it prohibits in certain instances investment even in securities frequently considered in the business world as standard securi- ties. There is a wide range between such investment and the giving away of cor porate funds to political party. If you find that they have been so diverted you will find that they have been misappro priated and to that extent violation of the law. If you find, however, that the operation was colored with felonious intent before you may call it crime. Your question was there felonious in- tent? must be answered by yourselves; but the court gave you the law on the subject and you are bound to take 1t as the court gives it. If corporate funds were diverted from the rightful owner and given away without the slightest expectation of profit or financial return, was any person deprived of his proper ty has any citizen a right to expect profit or financial return from such a transaction with a political party
 If a person was deprived of his prop erty and the transaction was falsely &C., counted for or not accounted for at all, have you evidence of intention to de- fraud, the answer Is with you under in- structions from the court already given namely: That felonious intent is crim- nal intent and criminal intent is to take with the intent to deprive and defraud.
 If you find that such officers did so inappropriate property, the court charges you that it is your duty to find that the crime of larceny has been com mitted.

Jewels on the Sick List.

Precious stones are subject to Sc
rious changes. The discoloration
which attacks them when they have
been exposed to the air for long
time is spoken of as a malady. The
influence of light makes itself felt
plainly on topazes and garnets. The
garnet turns much paler in short
time, while the topaz assumes
darker shade and even loses the
brilliancy possessed by it when
freshly cut. The most sensitive
stone in this respect is the opal. 1t
suffers always by excess of heat.
Owing to its chemical composition it
is sensitive to all changes of temper
allure. Pearls also deteriorate very
easily. Indeed the only way to keep
them in good "health'' is to wear
them next to the skin night and
day. Society women usually do so.
