Good Use for Niagara.
(From the Chicago News.

A scotohman who recently took the
street car trip on the gorge route, the
New York side OF Niagara river, was
much disgusted with the hawkers of
views and Teddy BEARS" who make
the afternoon hideous and do their
best to spoil natures grandeur. AS
he alighted from the car he looked
angrily at the shouting venders and
then at the Whirlpool rapids. What's
the use of having big river like
that he said, "if you DONE drown
those fellows in it?"

ENGLISH COURTS
ARE SPEEDY

NEW YORK, July 27.--A London
dispatch to the Times quite lengthily
quotes Justice Vernon NJ Davis Of the
| New York supreme court, ON the diff
| ference between American and Eng
| lish criminal trials to the disparage-
mcul of the former. Justice Davis, it
Twin be remembered, presided at the
second trial of Nan Patterson, the
| chorus 3 ri. for the murder Of Caesar
Young the turfman. His remarks fol-
! lowed his witnessing in the Central
| criminal court London, the trial of
| John Smith and Chicago May
| Churchill for the attempted murder of
| Edwin Guerin, of Devils Island fame
Justice Davis sat on the bench with
Mr., Justice Darling and saw Smith
sentenced to life Imprisonment and the
| Churchill woman to Is years impris
onment in trial of scarcely six hours.
Justice Davis was asked if he
| thought such a speedy trial would be
possible in America. To this question
| Justice Davis replied:
Not under the present circum-
stances. There are two principal con-
siderations which initiate against such
celebrity. The first of these is in con-
nection with the selection of the jury.
! Everyone in America reads the news
| papers--not one, but many. When a
| sensational case arises the papers deal
with the whole matter in the minutest
detail long before the case is called
| The result is that it is almost impos-
sible to get together ~ men who have
not studied the case and reached a
| judgment, uniting them for service
as jurors.
How different here in England. To-
days cases containing all the elements
of sensationalism, yet the jury was Sc
lected within few minutes.
Undoubtedly, however, the chief
factor in expediting trials here is the
absence of the appeals. This does away
with the constant Interruptions arising
out of objections by opposing counsel
1.-THE purpose of the objections is of
course, an appeal of the case. AS there
is no appellate division here, the neces-
sity for objections does not exist"

A LUCKY MISTAKE.

Mr.. Bergamot had his life insured IN an or

form OF monthly assessments His assessment
three four dollars. and 10 make it come
easier" as he said ne bought a small family
savings bank and presented ii 10 his wife.
Now Belinda" he said "as my insurance is
for your benefit want YOU 10 see that there IS
always money enough in this thing TO pay my
assessment when the time comes round I'll
drop dime in il occasionally instead of buy
ing a cigar, and you do the with any
loose change that's left in the house poCketbook
al the close of each dav.
Just you take the responsibility in your own
hands. and perhaps you won't buy something
from every pedler that to the house. To
show you that I trust you with il. here's the
key 70 the bank"
Mrs Bergamot accepted the charge. The
scheme appeared to work admirably. In fact
as the end Of the month drew near II became
apparent that there was more in the bank than
would be needed to pay the assessment. One
evening. however, she turned suddenly 10 him
and said
Henry. there a man here to-day with
the loveliest little machine for grinding up
meat, you can make your sausage: and
all he asked for it was-by the way Henry you
didn't give the right key TO that savings
bank"
Mr. Bergamot took out his bunch OF KEYS
and looked them over.
You're right. Belinda he said. ''I thought
dd-but perhaps II is Just as we'll I guess
we'll stick To this arrangement: you keep the
cash. and I'll carry the key"-Youth's Com

"McCLUREs MAGAZINE" STARTED.

"In 1892 I decided 70 start a magazine and
keep It alive with the profits of my syndicate.
About the first thing did was to hire Albert
Brady, who had been my cfassmate at Knox, as
business manager. I agreed TO pay him 500
week for term of five years Our total assets.
and the syndicate all had, amounted
TO about $1,000. The magazine appeared in May.
1898 Then the panic of that year swept down
like a cyclone. Newspapers began to
drop away from the syndicate because their
revenues from advertising had practically
stopped. Ruin threatened. but Professor Henry
Drummond, who had delivered the Lowell lect-
ures in Boston for $4,000. turned the check over
to us. and another man took $4,000 worth OF
stock with the understanding that should
give him employment As were losing $500

! owed foreign authors a considerable sum. If

would go to pieces. Finally l came TO point
