JURORS MAY READ NEWSPAPER.
Instead of Disqualifying, Makes Better
Turyman OF Him.

While iuterrogating the men called for
jury service in an arson case in the cir
cult court ut Macon. No. one of the
talcsmen said all he knew about the case
was what he cad in the newspapers.
Judge Shelton told him that instead Of
that disqualifying him 1t would really
make him better juryman. Time was
when attorneys for defendants and the
court, too, looked with suspicion upon
the man who said he read the newspa-
pers," the court said Experience has
taught that the men who do not read
are more inclined to err in Judgment
than those who do. Correct discrmina-
ton and the ability to do justice are born
through experience and best understood
by those who read. The man who has
neither time nor inclination to peruse the
papers and books is almost certain 10 get
his head set in direction suggested by
his impulse alone. The reading man is
more likely to be conservative and fair.
He considers the views expressed by 9th
ers and tries 10 reconcile them to his
own. When men are selected for jury
service because of their reading and gem
eral intelligence there will be fewer hung
juries aud a greater measure of Justice

DARK YEAR FOR RUSSIA
No Prospect for Internal Peace During
1eo6-Radical Newspapers Take
a Pessimistic Outlook.

ST. PETERSBURG. Jan. 15.-TheA
note struck by the radical press in re-
viewing the last year and commenting
on the outlook for the new year is an eX-
trcmely pessimistic one. These newspa1
pers generally see no prospect of inter1
nal peace, but they unite in expressing
the hope that 1906 will not end as did
1905, with the spirit of reaction strong
ly in the ascendant.
The Novoe Vremya and The Slovo, ON
the contrary, look to the douma to put a
seal on the charter of the peoples liber-
ties and to restore tranquility to the
distracted country.
NJ. Amtiteatroff, one of the most brill
liant of Russian journalists, who served
a term of exile for his famous political
feuilletion, in which he arraigned the
members of the imperial family as pub
lie bandits, and who recently has been
living in Rome, in an article on Russia's
future, predicts that the coming year
will witness the financial and political
bankruptcy of the government.

TO BEGIN LONG FAST.
New York Man Walks to Coast to Meet
Dr. Tanner in Contest-Didn't
Eat for Sixty Days.

SANTA MONICA, Cal, Jan. ID
Van r. Wilcox of New York has arrived
here, and will begin a long fast with
DR.. Tanner, the famous faster, who
went without food for forty days in New
York twenty-five years ago. These men
are fast friends.
Starts After Long Fast.
On April II Wilcox stood on the city
hall steps in New York and announced
to crowd of park loungers that he in
tended to walk to the Pacific coast. He
said he had just completed a sixty day
fast, and that after the tramp across the
continent he would fast again. The
crowd laughed at him.
His walk of 1861 miles has caused peo-
pie to take him more seriously. He
came into the city wearing Il white
SLOUGH hat and a crash suit and carrying
n much-worn leather knapsack. He
went direct to the beach. and plunged
several minutes.
He was met by DIR. Tanner. The
men discussed fasting, and each assert
ed that he could go longest without food.
In the interest of science they will dem
onstrate how long it is possible for a
man to go without anything to eat. No
speciD. government has been drawn up,
but it is understood generally that the
contest will take place here, and that
the famous fasters will be under suryeil-
lance by several doctors.
Fasting a Benefit?
"My home is at West Fairview, Pa,

you can see that fasting has benefited
me. | had just completed siXtyday

me the necessary strength for my long

Il have proved that fasting will cure al
most any disease. When | first began

many people have been benefited by my
advice to stop eating.

before him, but he can see plainly any
thing at the side Of him. There have
been but few cases Of its kind before
and they have been caused by whiskey
or tobacco. Leach has never used
either, but has been great coffee
drinker and the specialists have decid-
ed that the case has been caused hC
this. Leach stated himself that for
several years he had drank three cups
of coffee for breakfast, two at noon
and one at night. According to the
records Of the specialists Of this coun-
try this Is the first case ever caused
by the use Of coffee.
The nerve is ruined beyond aid and
his case Is incurable. The fact that
makes the case queer one Is that the
sight forward has been lost and the
side sight has been retained. Accord
ing to the doctors statement the young
man will have to give up coffee or the
rest Of his sight will follow and the
entire nerve be ruined.-RegisterG Co
