book of a shipwrecked seaman who
had sought shelter with him, and whom
he had treacherously murdered, and
whose belongings he had made his
own. Judge Goodrich told me long
stories of the misdeeds of Christopher
Columbus, which he had found out in
their true character. He spoke of the
so-called Great Discoverer of the
New World with intense Indignation
and denounced him as an assassin,
hyporcite and false pretender,
cruel tyrant, and a downright pirate.
He was industriously pursuing his
inquiries concerning that infamous
person, and he was going to expose
the fraud in book which he hoped
to publish before long.
"Judge Goodrich's oratory was
somewhat singular. We agreed to
alternate in the order of proceedings
in addressing audiences. He was to
speak first at one meeting, and I at
the next, and so we listened to one
another a great deal. His speeches
always had sound, sober, and strong
body of.argument, enlivened by some
robust anecdotes after the fashion of
the stump, but he regularly closed
with an elaborate peroration couched
in wonderfully gorgeous and high :
sounding phrase, in which the ruins
of Palmyra and the decline and fall
of the Roman Empire played a great
and mysterious part. That man of
such practical intellect and large
reading, and so capable of strong rea-
soning, should please himself in such
|euphonical display astonished me not
a little. It actually troubled me.
One night when. after a very success
full meeting and after an especially
cordial and confidential talk, we went
to bed together, / picked up the
courage to say: Judge, those SEN
fences about the ruins OF Palmyra and
the downfall of the Roman Empire
are very poetical, but / have not been
able exactly to catch their meaning
and application to the slavery ques-
tion. Will you tell me?' The Judge
gave good, natural laugh. WE'LL
said he. L have thought all along that
the ruins Of Palmyra and the downfall
of the Roman Empire would strike
you. The fact is, [ composed the
piece in which those sentences occur
many years ago when was young,
and have always been fond of it and
kept it in my memory. | thought it
would do splendidly to wind up a
speech with. It's true, its bearing
upon the slavery question is not quite
clear. But don't it sound beautiful?
And don't you think it sets folks to
thinking?' Of course, I thought it
would, and there was nothing more to
be said.
'The next day | was sent by the
campaign managers upon an expedi-
ton on which Judge Goodrich could
not accompany me, and we parted
with very sincere regret. l have
never seen him again. But he sent
me copy of his book on Christopher
Columbus a book full of ingenious
ratiocination and righteous wrath as
soon as it appeared in print, and 1
heard that after a long bachelorship
he had married beautiful and ac-
complished lady of Spanish or South
American birth, and had been ap-
pointed secretary of our legation at
Brussels. [ have often thought how
careful he would be in that place to
tone down the western vigor of his vo-
cabulary, and how difficult he would
find it to rednce and adapt it to the
diplomatic usage

Rev. Kristofer Janson.
Rev. Janson was the first pastor of the Nora

that Unitarianism was given start in Brown
county. He continued as pastor of the Lake
Hanske congregation until 1898 when he resign

he holds a prominent position among the liter
airy people of Norway and for years has been
an intimate friend of those great leaders of
Norwegian thought, Isben and Bjornson.

Langdon was served by

STAR WITNESS IN
TRIAL OF HAYWOOD
Former Sheriff Sutherland, Pio-

State.
|IHE. IDENTIFIED ORCHARD
Work Of Securing Jury Will Pro
ceed To-Day, But Task IS
Difficult.

BOISE. IDAHO, May; 10.-Several of
the more important witnesses SUM
Snoned in behalf of the State In the
trial Of William D. Haywood. for al
legged participation In the assasslna-
tion Of former Governor Steunenberg,
arrived at Boise to-day. The prosecu-
ttion had hoped by this time that a
trial jury would have been impanelled,
but 1t isSnow evident that all twelve
seats In the jury box will l<not be satis-
fnctorily filled for several days. When
court adjourned Saturday afternoon,
the attorneys for tho prosecution and
the defense We're trying to fill q va
cancy caused by the exercise of the
States fifth peremptory challenge, The
defense still has six of it's ten arbi-
trnry challenges available, and the
State has five more challenges to its
credit The work OF jury selection will
be taken up again tomorrow morning
at 10 o'clock. Only twenty-six mem-
bers Of the special Fenire of 100 re-
main. and there is speculation as to
whether the trial panel will be COM
pleted before the talesmen are ex-
llausted.
If it is not there will be delay of
several days while Sheriff Ilodgin gets
| a new set Of men from tho country.
Perhaps the most Interesting OF the
States witnesses who arrived to-day
was, former Sheriff Angus Sutherland.
Of Shoshone county. Scotchmnn by
birth, but pioneer Of the American
Far West. Sutherland is quiet, unas-
suming, modest, typical of the steel
nerved men Of the law and order days
of the frontier. He Is intimate with
the Couer a Alene troubles, the result
OF many exciting personal experiences,
and was the man who identified Harry
1 Orchard while the latter was held as
a suspect after Governor Steunenberg
| was killed.
Boise is quiet and unruffled. There
is nothing in the aspect OF tho city
to indicate that the trial Is under
l VHy.
