L slowly; but there have been instances
OF remarkable impromptu verses. An old
man named Could, having married a young
woman addressed himself TO a friend at the
wedding reception:
So you see, my dear sir, though eighty years
old,
\ girl of nineteen falls in love with old Gould" :"
Quick a shot the reply came:
y girl of nineteen may love Gould. it is true:
But believe me- dear sir, 1t is gold with

Fox the English diplomat was once told by
a woman that she did not care three skips

TRIAL BY JURY MODIFIED
Alleged Anarchist Mast Now Face
es Judges in Certain Parts
of Spain.

MADRID, March 3.-(Special.)-The gov
ernment has taken an important step in
connection with the trials of persons
charged with the commission for completely
in bomb outrages and other similar crimes
OF an anarchistic nature. AS the juries are
nearly always influenced by fear Of the
accused and so acqut them, the govern
ment has issued decree ordaining that in
the provinces of Corona and Barcelona
such cases shall no longer be tried by a
jury, but by a bench of three magistrates
For this decree It will be necessary to pass
an indemnity bill when the cortes meets
again.
The decision of the government meets
with the general approval Of the conserva-
tives, who regard it is the only means OF
re-establshing social discipline in those
provinces which are dominated by the
anarchist terror. The radicals, on the other
hand, censure the measure as reactionary,
but there is no foundation for this critic
ism as the state of affairs was really
shameful, and IL was absolutely necessary
for the government to strengthen the prin-
ciples Of authority which has grown alto
gether too lax.

RUSSIAN STUDENTS ARRESTED
Internal Machines, bombs, Hand
Grenades and Rifles Found in
POIytechnIc Dormitories.

ST. PETERSBURG, March "a body OF
1.50O picked policemen. from every quarter
of the city, surrounded the Polytechnic
institute at o'clock this morning and was
engaged until o'clock this afternoon In
a search of three blocks of student quar-
ters, in the course OF which twelve Internal
machines, a score of pyroxylin hand gre
nades, a quantity OF repeating rifles 200
pounds OF pyroxylin and 400 pounds Of
dynamite were seized.
The descent upon the institute, which had
long been suspected TO be a nest of social
revolutionists, was due to information re-
ceived that series of outrages on i'm
portant personages had been planned for
March 10. The besieging force was pre-
pared for all eventualities, being armed
with loaded rifles and wearing cuirassos
and helmets Two police captains were In
command.
On the arrival of the force in the yard
a bomb was thrown from an upper window,
but did not explode Led by Prince Andrew
@. Gagarin, director OF the institute the
searchers went through all OF the 1000
rooms of the dormitory. and seized be-
sides the arms and ammunition, several
wagon loads OF proclamations and thou
sands of copies OF the new organ Of the
revolutionary party for circulation in the
army.
Among those arrested were two members
Of Parliament from Ufa, who had remained
over night I'm the buildings after confer
ences with members of the group OF toll
and social revolutionists.

BRITISH ANTIQUITIES FOUND
WOrkmen I'm Sand Pit Find Golden
Bracelets of Race Passed
from Island.

LONDON, March s.-(speciaL L)-workmen
engaged in a sandpit at Crayford. Kent.
have unearthed a number of massive
bracelets and armlets OF solid gold, sup
posed to be portions of the barbaric orna-
ments OF ancient British chiefs. The sup
position that the sandpit was the burying
place Of the chiefs is supported by the dis
covery OF bones at the same spot and OF
weapons Of stone and flint close by.
The armlets were found at a depth OF
three or four feet from the surface. Their
value In gold alone is estimated TO be
from $500 to 5000. but their authority
and historical associations make them
priceless. They are In a perfect state of
preservation and bear inscriptions on some
Of the jewels which have not yet been de-
ciphered. Experts are of the opinion that
they date from a long period before the
Christian era. They have been deposited at
Scotland Yard as treasure trove and are
now the property OF the crown. In May
last eight similar bracelets were found near
the same spot and the finders received as
their share OF the treasure trove a sum
equal to $40. Those bracelets are now in
the British museum.

MOB AROUND MARIETTA JAIL
Attempt TO Lynch Two Men Who
Enticed SIX Young Girls to
Their Room.

MARIETTA, o., March 3.-A lynching
seemed imminent here early this evening
when large crowd of people surrounded
the city jail where Walter w. Savage of
Syracuse, N. Y, and his alleged accom-
plice, Andy Coruthers, were imprisoned
Savage is an advertising sketch artist aud
has been here about week occupying a
window in the Dime Saving society build
ing. He has made a specially of getting
young girls to allow him to take their
pictures About l p. m. today he had six
young girls between the age of IL and IA
in his room, and II is alleged gave them
whisky, wine and beer and, 1t is alleged
administered some kind of drug. 1t Is
said at o'clock this evening, the police
upon investigation found all six of the
girls unconscious lying on the floor. The
girls and the two men, Coruthers having
been found in the ROOM were taken to the
city Jail. Physicians were summoned and
made an examination of the girls and ad-
ministered emetics which caused them to
vomit, and at about o'clock they had
partly regained consciousness. The girls
say that the men forced them to drink.
The physicians are convinced that two
of the girls are the victims of an at.
tempted assault and at this time are in
doubt as to the others, as they have not
as yet completely recovered from the effect
of the drug Under the protection of the
entire police force, the two men were
taken to the county Jail The sheriff and
his deputies, assisted by the police force,
are guarding the two prisoners and at
this time it seems that a lynching will be
averted, although the feeling of the popu-
lace is very intense.

IRRIGATION IN SOUTH AFRICA
Cape GOVERNMENT VIII Try to Bring
Thousands of Acres Under
Cultivation.

CAPE TOWN. March S-jspeciaL)-A big
irrigation scheme is planned for the Mooi
river valley. This is recognized as one Of
the finest agricultural districts OF South
Africa, but the extension of farming since
the war hus caused deficiencies in the water
supply during the three dry months Of the
year.
The proposal OF MI Strange, the director
OF irrigation. is to construct at a cost OF
$4,000 an enormous reservoir to be north
OF Potchefstraam, five miles in length and
two miles broad at it's widest part. This
will hold 100000 cubic feet OF water and
will bring under cultivation between 1000
and 5000 acres The gross valuation OF the
additional crops to be raised Is put at $780,
900 per annum-
The operations OF the irrigation depart
ment were viewed at the outset with a
great deal OF doubt, II not actual mis-
trust. but It is interesting TO note that the
Mooi river project has now the support OF
the entire farming community. American
engineers have been consulted upon the
subject and they say that Il Is sure Of sue
cess.

that the letter contained a denial OF the
oft-repeated story that there had been an
unpleasantness between members of the de-
fendant's family.
One Of the counsel for the defense said
today concerning the possibility of a COM
mission in lunacy 10 examine Thaw as to
his present mental condition:
THE defense Isl confident that no APP
plication will be made by the district at
torney for the appointment of commits
sion in lunacy. But II such application is
made It will be met by us with such over
whelming proof against It that there Is
not one chance In a Thousand of the APP
pointment being made. We know positively
that there is not a show for the appoint
ment. We are confident of an acquittal.
The evidence has been all in our favor
and we believe that Thaw will go from the
Tombs a free man inside Of a month"
