PIacino the Blame.

In a Courland village two neighbor-
ing inns were owned respectively by
Mr.. Lahzis and Mr.. Strunkis, keen
rivals for the patronage of the public.
Their rivalry grew into bitter enmity
when the better class of travellers gen
orally seemed to prefer Lahzis's house,
while Strunkis had to content himself
with the smaller fry of travelling arti-
sans.
One day recently the two innkeep-
ers, standing at their respective doors,
got up an alteration, during which
LahZis twitted Straunkis with the in
ferior social standing of the latter's
customers, whereupon Strunkis be-
came furious and hurled a stone at his
more prosperous rival. He missed his
mark, but the stone went through one
of LaiZis's windows.
The result was a lawsuit, and a
witness named Jaime gave evidence to
the effect that he was passing when
the stone was thrown, and that 1t
would have struck him had he not
ducked just in time Whereupon the
village solons decided that Jaime is re-
sponsible for the damage, for as they
say, if Jaime had not ducked his head
the window would not have been
broken at all.-Riga Baltische Post.

IN GREENWICH TRIANGLE.
a Bit Of New York Where IrreguIari-
ties Abound.

a Sit Of New York Where IrreauIari-
ties Abound.
old Greenwich village is the
greenwich triangle, bounded by
Greenwich avenue, West Eleventh and
West Tenth streets and Sixth avenue.
Within this territory, inhabited by
s. 700 persons, there are two streets,
I two avenues, two places, a row, an al
ley and 100 houses. One of the places
IS Milligan place, small blind alley
running not at right angles to Sixth
avenue, but diagonally from it. It is
made up of four houses, each with
frontage of 17.5 feet, but each with
different depth.
At Eleventh street and Sixth ave-
nue. the corner is beveled. A little
way beyond on Eleventh street there
is blind alley, and beyond that is
Garden row, row of houses with a
garden or plot of greensward and
trees in front of each. To the west of
Greenwich row are fifteen houses
built to the stoop line.
On Greenwich avenue from Eleventh
to Tenth street, south, there are TWEEN
ty-five buildings, no two of which have
exactly the same dimensions of lot,
either in frontage or depth. The line
OF West Tenth street between Green
wish avenue and Sixth avenue is brok-
en- by Patchen place, which includes
eleven house of different lines of
frontage, six of which have the depth
of 60 feet, while the other five vary in
depth from G8.SSto 1876 feet.
The irregularities of this block ex-
tend further than the frontage of the
streets composing it and include the
Irregularities of the two blind alleys,
Patchen and Milligan places. At the
end of each there is to be seen after
nightfall a lantern, recalling the days
of old New York when the constables
united to other duties those of official
lamplighters.
AS many as 10000 persons day
pass the Greenwich triangle. Those
of them who are observant perceive
something unusual in New York city
trees growing upon the tops of
houses.

Such RaiIroadinu.

"Such railroading," said President
Baer of the Reading line, apropos of
reckless running, reminds me of an
Irish brakeman.
This brakeman, who was employed
on a railway in the neighborhood of
Cook, was annoyed one morning to
find the train stopping in desolate
place miles away from any station.
He ran to the cab and shouted to
the engineer:
:" Hi, We omadhoun, what are We
stOppin' here fur?
THE engineer retorted angrily:
+" Don't you see the signals agin us,
We gossoon?'
/" 'Musha,' said the brakeman, how
mighty particular ye're gettin'.'"

San Francisco. July st is an
nounced that the Western Pacific will
begin running its first passenger and
freight trains by the end of this month

Between Oakland and a point four

CHURCH GREAT EDUCATOR
Prominent Catholics Talk for Their
Schools at Big Meeting
in Milwaukee.

Milwaukee, Wis, July 9.-About 400
prominent Catholic educators are at
tending the annual convention Of the
Catholic Educational association of the
United States, which opened at Mar
quote university today. Archbishop
MessmeT. in welcoming the educators.
said that Catholic education is not pri-
vate education; its school are public in
as true a sense as any schools in the
land
The church. he said, is the great edu-
Gator, and he added that true educa-
ton is not merely instruction of the
mind, but above all the training of the
heart and will and the forming of
habits in the development of character.
Catholic education" said the arch
bishop, lis the only one that will give
us the most perfect system and the
most perfect development"
Emphasizing the need Of unity, the
archbishop said:
"In the unity and concentration OF
Catholic education lies its power"
Archbishop Quigley of Chicago said:
Our system must be Catholic. not at
all compromise with any other sys-
TEN; exclusively and thoroughly Cath
Ollie. Catholic education is necessary
for the preservation of the church and
for the preservation of the nation
itself. We must strive to keep it aIoof
from the interference Of outside sys-
TENS. II IS the only Christian educa-
ton i'm the world. and ii is the Cath
Ollie system of education that is going
to save the world. We must save il
from contamination: we must not allow
interference by legislation"

San Francisco, July 9.-The jury to
try Vice President Louis Glass of the
Pacific States Telephone & Telegraph
company of the charge of paying Su-
pervisor Charles Boxton a bride of
s., 600 to vote for the Withholding of a
franchise to the Home Telephone COM
pany Of San Francisco. was completed
shortly before o'clock this evening.
Six jurors were chosen and sworn yes
terday, and six were selected and
sworn today. The jury is composed of
the following men:
Patrick Lyons, retired merchant; Jo-
seph H Robinson, grocer; Michael A.
Samuels, photographer; George A.
Kohn, merchant: John G.. North. man
ufacturer of machinery; john w.
Shields, retired sergeant of police; ia
cob W. Werthemer, wholesale liquor
dealer; William Warnake, commission
er Of preserves; William Walcom, re-
tired carriage manufacturer; Hugo
SchueSsel, mechanic: Charles P Fon-
da. manufacturer; John H. McCaIlam,
lumber merchant.
One change may be made in the jury
as it stands. A doubt has arisen as to
whether Hugo Schuessels' name ap-
pears on last years assessment roll. If
an examination discloses that it does
not, he will be withdrawn and another
selected TO take his place. This would
give the defense an advantage over the
prosecution. as the former still has one
uneXercised peremptory challenge.
Judge LawlOT allowed the jurors
their personal freedom over night in
order that they might arrange their
various business interests. but he add
monished them particularly that they
must hold no communication with their
families, either by word, note or tele-
phone. Each promised to obey. Tomor-
row Sheriff O'Neil will formally take
charge of the jury, and thereafter they
will be kept together at all times by
him. In reply to a query by one of the
jurors, Mr.. Heney said he thought the
trial ought not to consume more than
one week, exclusive of the deliberations
of the jury.

Swain was at the door of the bank on

Swain might remember having seen

see Swain the latter said that he would
not tell whether he remembered the in
cident or not, and asked for another in
terview. MCFARLAND declares that he
there dropped the matter and did not
again see Swain.
Allen F. Gill, formerly master me-
chanic of the Tiger and POorman mine,
and later city engineer of Spokane, and
his wife, Mrs. Gill, were also witnesses
for the defense today They jointly re-
lated that Harry Orchard attempted to
sell them his interest In the Hercules
mine in February and March, 1899,
which was just prior TO his departure
from the Couer d'AleneS, and Mr.. Gill,
who saw Orchard in Spokane a month
before he killed SteunenDerg, testified
that Orchard said that it was because
of Steunenberg that he lost his interest
in the Hercules mine.
