WHAT THE PAPERS SAY.

It would seem that jury ought to
have some protection and that no at
torney should be allowed to abuse it
in court because of its verdict. Yet
ii is reported that Mr.. Dunnett, attor-
ney for exRailroad Commissioners
Howard, while arguing that the ver-
dict against che respondent be set
aside, referred to the jury as simeon
siderately and ignorantly marching
into court without any apparent con-
sideratiOn of the case" and further
suggested that "the jury ought to
take a bath as tn ir verdict showed
rancid and stupid prejudice on the
part of an unclean jury" Certainly
good citizens will be more disinclined
to serve on iuries than ever before if
a lawyer is allowed to rant against
them in this manner unrebuked. The
Morrisville News and Citizen, in
commenting upon this unseeming dis
play by Mr.. Dunnett says: "We
wonder that Judge Miles did not take
him to do for using such language in
court" Many other people also
wonder that an attorney was allowed
such liberty. And Dunnett is the U.
s. district attorney for Vermont, al
though of course the indiscretion was
not committed in a federal court

Wanted: A Mind Cure.

According 20 good authority, the
country at present needs liberal ap-
plication of Christian Science treat
ment. II it will only think things are
ell right and act that way, things will
be ali right. But if it gets scared and
blue, and acts accordingly, the deuce
will be to pay.
The casual observer can rec no real
reason for trouble. There is no ia
mine or pestiience in the land. Crops
are abundant. People are eating as
much as ever, and wearing as much,
and doing about the same as forme..-
ly, so that the demand for products
of the field, mine and factory ought
to, and as a matter of fact, does, con-
tinue normal, or nearly so. This
ought to keep the transportation and
mercantile departments going. and 1t
does. Reports show no real falling
off In the volume of legitimate bust
| ness.
But everybody is sea- ed, fearful of
what is Just ahead. The merchant
may be retailing just as much, but
when he considers buying he hesi-
| tates. He expects lower prices, and
refrains from stocking up at present
high figures, 50 his orders are small.
| This reacts on manufacturing, which
| slows up TO correspond. I5 does not
appear that markets are glutted with
| goods, bat the manufacturers does not
feel warranted ia making for stock,
in the present uncertainty, so he shuts
down, or runs on short time. This, if
long continued, will affect the ca
pacity of wage earners to buy, and
create a real depression in all lines OF
business.
Money is scarce, they say. What
they mean is that money is scared.
There is Just as much currency and
coin in the country as there was a
year ago-even more, for fast steam
ers have been bringing over gold
from Europe by the millions. But
the money has gone into hiding; il
being boarded, as it always Is in ar
emergency. A few New York banks

HER GOLDEN BALL.
An Incident of Revolutionary Times on
 Long Island.

An Incident of Revolutionary Times on
 Long Island.
 Probably no game of ball by pro- fessional or college team was ever watched with such inner interest, but with such outward indifference, as one described in Gertrude Vanderb!lt's "Social History of Flatbush." It hap pened in Revolutionary times, when the British soldiers were stationed on Long Island. The inhabitants had hidden their valuables in all possible places. One lady concealed some gold coins in ball shaped pincushion of the kind worn by the Dutch housewife, suspended at her side.
 She was sitting sewing one day when a party of British soldiers entered the room. A young officer. spying what to him was a novelty, cut with his sword the ribbon by which the cushion was hung and began a game of ball.
 Soon the rest of the company joined the sport. Boisterously from hand to hand the ball was batted to and fro. It was roughly snatched and tossed. and sometimes it fell into the ashes of the fireplace and barely escaped con f1agration. Now and again a soldier would catch it on the tip of his sword and send 1t spinning on with rent in its side.
 Every moment threatened to reveal the precious contents. To show the least anxiety was to betray the secret. and the owner was forced to sit un- moved, apparently intent on her work, and to see her fortune flying through the air at the mercy of the enemy. At last the cushion, torn and battered, but still guarding it's treasure, was return ed to its mistress. and the intruders, tired of their play. left the house.
