Ba0lLING.

If the. fire. should be too hot, sprinkle
salt over it.
Birds and other things which need
TO be halved should be broiled inside
first.
Always grease the gridiron well and
have it hot before the meat is placed
on 1t.
Never put your fork in the lean part
OF meat on the gridirOn, as it allows
the juice to escape.
Fish should be buttered and sprin-
kled with -four which will prevent the
skin from adhering to the gridiron.
Remember that a hot, clear fire is
necessary for broiling all small arti-
cles. They should be turned often to
be cooked evenly without being burned.
Cover the gridiron with tin pan or
a baking pan. The sooner the meat is
cooked without burning the better.
The pan holds the heat and often pre-
vents a stray line of smoke from
touching the meat.-Philadelph Ledg-

AS VIEWED BY BORAH
Would Give barrow All He Wants
10t ANALYSES the Evidence.

Senator Borah, in reply to barrow,
said that counsel for the defense in
his opening address to the jury alleged
thatya conspiracy existed between the
J. Pipkerton. detectives. the Mine Own
ers' association and the Citizens Alli-
gance- to drive the Western. Federation
of Miners out of Colorado. and that
many of the crimes charged to the
Western Federation of Miners were in
fact committed as Incidents of the
conspiracy to get rid of the union min
erS.
But when we come to sift the mat
ter out" continued Borah. what do
we find? That the conspiracy had
nothing to do with the Vindicator eX-
plOsion in which Beck and Mccormick
were killed; that was an accident. The
conspiracy had nothing to do with the
attempt on Bradley: that was gas ex-
plOsion. The conspiracy had nothing
to do with the death of Steunenberg;
that was the personal revenge of Har-
~ Orchard. The conspiracy had moth
ing to 10 With the death of Lyle Greg

difficulties. The conspiracy had moth

they were the results of political feel
ing.

that fact las not been shown here by
any competent evidence under any rule
of law. / am not going to argue this case
on the lines laid down by Mr.. barrow
- that they have not the right to
prove a counter conspiracy. | am not
going to oppose the principle that they
have a right to prove it: but what
contend is they have not proved it. Let
them put some member of the con-
spiracy on the stand and prove that
the conspiracy is responsible for the
crimes complained of. Testimony as
to a conspiracy must come at first

After Borah had concluded his
speech Richardson closed for the de-

the defense to latitude in evidence,
which. it will be noticed, BOrah did
not antagoniZe. and insisted that there

MADE SURE OF DEATH
Young Man Commits Suicide, Leav.
ing Message Written on Two
Pieces of Stone.


Bedford, Ind, July 19.-With moth
ing but a message scrubbed on a
stone to identify him Hester Herrell.
young man, probably "a years of
age, committed suicide by leaping in
front of a train on the Southern Indi-
ana railway, and when the train was
brought to a standstill, and the train
crew rushed back to where the body
of young Harrell lay, they found the
wheels had so badly mangled and
crushed the man, especially the face,
that the body was hardly recognizable
as a human being.
Harrell was noticed by some people
loafing about the Sixteenth street
crossing, where some stones had been
unlOaded. On one stone the man wrote
with lead pencil: "Hester Herrell,"
besides the name was the significant
sentence: 1--WE gone home to rest"
Just beneath this was inscribed: "JOe
Herrell, of Kurtz, is my father" A
message was sent to the latter by the
Hallway officials informing him of his
sons act. Engineer James Boruff
stated that as his train approached the
crossing, going at lively rate, he saw
the young man give a spring and land
in the middle of the track, Just in
front of the engine, that crushed his
life out before the machine could be
brought to a StandStill.

LAWYERS IN ENGLAND.
The Difference Between the BarristeT
and the Solicitor.

The DInerence Between the 6arriStef
and the Solicitor.
The barrister in England is the very
salt of the earth. He it is who makes
the laws, who goes into parliament,
who sits on the bench, who considers
himself seven or eight degrees higher
up in the social scale than aNy other
poor or middle class mortal, and with
all this he has absolutely no RESPONSE
bility toward his clients. That ancient,
much abused thing called custom in
this country has created for the law
two separate and distinct limbs, which
may be compared in a measure to the
life of the bee. One is the drone and
the other the queen. The drone is the
solicitor. who sits in an office working
up a case, consulting clients, drawing
gills, controlling estate transactions and
controlling the incomes of people who
are unfortunate enough to be Saddled
under the trust deeds. The solicitor,
who has his own tradition to work out
does not ever get to himself any glory
whatever. Except in police and coun-
~ court cases, he is persona non grata,
OF, in the words of the judges, The is
not seem" If he has a case on hand,
he is obliged to take it to barrister,
who, though he may never have heard
of the matter in dispute before, dons
his wig and gown, proceeds into court
and argues till all is black and blue,
as if he knew all about it, for which he
draws a most prodigiOuS fee, quite big
enough to enable him TO appear nicely
mounted in the row every morning.
If he spoils the case, there is no chance
for redress. because the barrister is
merely a gentleman whom fiction pO-
litely assumes to be a friend in need.
