The Little German Juror.
The Judge had his patience sorely tried
by lawyers who wished to talk and by
men who tried to evade jury service, says
the Green Bag. Between hypothetical
questions and excuses it seemed as If they
never would get to the actual trial of the
case. So when the puzzled little German
who had been accepted by both sides
jumped up the Judge was exasperated.
"Shudgel" cried the German.
"What is itf'' demanded the Judge.
Ell t'ink 1 like to go home to my
wife," said the German.
tsYou can IT, retorted the Judge.

"What boxf'' said the German
sJury box,'' said the Judge.
"Oh, thought it vas bad box that
people gets IN sometimes.
"No," said the Judge; "the bad box
is the prisoners box.
"But, Shudge," persisted the little
German, 'sI don't speak good English -
"You don It have to speak any at al, -
said the Judge. "Sit down"
The little German pointed at the law
years to make his last desperate plea.
"Shudge,o he said, 81 can't make
holdings of what these fellers say"
It was the Judges chance to get even
for many annoyances.
"Neither can any one else, he said.

With sigh the little German sat

rmuirratton Statistics.

Speaking Of continued new big rec
ords In immigration statistics, the
Brooklyn Eagle says: "But It Is COM
forting to learn that Increasing num-
bers represent the free, strong races of
the North, and there VIII be no slums
for themj they WIN go to the prairiss
and the woods and win their fortunes
from the SOIL"
We have not seen any comparative
nationality and race returns concerning
recent immigration, says the Rochester
Democrat and Chronicle, but If the
Eagles statement Is correct, the coun-
tty is to be congratulated on the turn
ing Of the tide. The disheartening fact
about the enormous immigration Of the
last few years has been It's quality and
character. The numbers have been I'm
mense, but large majority Of these
aliens have belonged to races with
whose traditions, views, customs and
temperament Americans have little in
common. They have been brought here
to enrich steamship companies and to
furnish labor for our bitches and other
menial phases Of our industrial hfe.

American Spirit That Does Not Faltsr 10
to Be Found In the
Pacific Metropolis.
That San Francisco will be rebuilt.
grander and more beautiful than ever,
is a foregone conclusion, says the
Marysville (Ky.) Ledger. The Amert-
can spirit Is not the spirit that falters
In the face of calamity, and the San
Franciscans are Americans. Already.
even before the embers have died out,
preparations for rebuilding are being
made; in few years there will rise
at the Golden Gate the most magnin-
cent city in the Union. and to further
beautify the new city and to give 1t
distinction possessed by none other
in all the world the Ledger suggests
a Memorial Temple.
The outpouring of money for the re-
lief of the sufferers has been unpar-
alleled, already reaching probably $780,
100000. Vast sums are yet to be sent.
And it is likely that many hundreds
of thousands of this money will be
unused for actual needed relief. Let
this unused sum-the greater the bet
ter-be set apart for the building OF
a magnificent temple, devoted to pub
lie uses, and in that temple, in tablets
of brass, let there appear, arranged
by sections or States, the name OF
every country, corporation, society or
individual who contributed for the re-
lief of the stricken city Of the Pacific
Slope.
Such q building would serve a two
fold purpose-it would be most at
tractive feataure In the newborn city
and it would be monument to the
spirit that prompts the relief Of dis
tress.

WATERS TO BE DIVIDED.
Treaty Signed Regulating Use of Waters
of Rio Grande for Irrigation.

Washington. May 21.-Secre-
tary Root. for the United States,
and Ambassador Casasus, for the
Mexican government, today signed
treaty regulating the use of the
waters of the Rio Grande, which,
if approved by the senate, will
remove what has for twenty years
been a source of friction in the
relations between the two coun-
tries: For almost a century the
Mexicans living along the lower
river have made large use of its
waters for the purpose of irrigat-
ing their lands. But in recent
years private companies on the
upper waters of the United States
have, by the construction of dams,
diverted large part of the water
to this side of the river.
The Mexicans have preferred
claims for the damages sustained,
but so far without success. Now
the plans for the reclamation have
made it certain that practically all
of the water will be retained on
American soil unless some proper
scheme of division can be arranged.
The construction of the $1,000
900 dam across the Rio Grande at
Engle, N. NJ, brought the matter
to climax and led to negotiations
between the two countries which
eliminated i'll the treaty signed
today.
The underlying principle of the
convention is the recognition of
the common law right of the Mex
leans to the use of fair share of
the waters of the river, but as the
United States government is put
to the entire expense of building
the great dam and canals the Mex
lean share is only fractional por-
ton of the whole flow. It is
that the impounded |
waters will suffice to irrigate about |
100000 acres of otherwise arid |
lands, and it is stipulated that of
this total 10000 acres of water,
which is to make arabic about |
IS, 900 acres of the land, will be
delivered on the Mexican side of
the border each year. On its part
the Mexican government guaran-
tees the UniteS States government
against any suits or liability on
account of the claims of individual |
MeXlCanS who have SO far suffered |
through the diversion of the water.
Opposition to the treaty is ex-
pected OH the part of some of the
Western senators, who express the
belief that either the United States
is entitled to all of the water with
out Compensation in view of the
great expense to which it has been
put by the work of constructing
the dams and canals, or that if the
Mexican right is to be recognized |
at all its title should be purchased |
outright by a cash payment.
