A GREEN NEW YORKER.

TURING the examination of jurors at the
IL Thaw trial the other day, a man who
should have been an ideal juror, was discovered.
He lived in one of the busiest parts of the city.
He admitted during the examination that practi-
cally he had never heard OF the Thaw trial. He
had hazy recollection of seeing something about
Thaw in the newspapers. No wonder the law
yes, the court and the blonde press were excited
Here was brand new sensation. How could
man live in the great city of New York and be
obvious of the nasty Thaw case7 The fame of
the lawyers, the notoriety of Thaw the doings of
Evelyn Thaw all were as nothing to this man.
He didn't know and evidently did not can
whether Thaw looked pleasantly at his wife or
not, whether there was friction between the elder
Mrs. Thaw and Evelyn or not Whether the
jurors were tentative or real whether Jerome's
hypothetical question was one foot or one mile
long perplexed not this juror. Whether Thaw
ate one egg or two beefsteaks at breakfast was a
matter of indifference. Delmas "dementa Amer
icana" and the expert Evans brain storm" the
ory concerned him not; neither did the impress
sons of Dorothy Dix, nor Susie Snuggles, nor
Maggie Mollycoddle interfere with this mans
peace Of mind. He declared, when questioned
that he was too busy selling hats" to consider
the Thaw case.
When you find green New Yorker he is .
world-beater. And yet after all his occupation of
selling hats was more conducive 10 ms peace ot
mind, to his morals, and more gainful to his
Pocketbook than pouring over the details Of this
case would have been. This man at first was ac-
cepted as juror, but afterward withdrawn
The New York lawyers are hard to please when
they select jurors.

rAFr Ar cooPER UNION.

Its address at the Cooper Union, New York.
i i the other evening was one OF the most
irving of the experiences of Secretary Taft since
he became an avowed candidate for the presi-
DENTAL nomination. And Mr. Taft came through
the ordeal in a most creditable manner. He dis
cussed the questions of capital and labor at
time when, because Of the depression, these sub
iects are uppermost in the minds of large part
of the public.
The audience was a mixed one-that is in
cuded persons of all political faiths. Ever alert
TO take advantage Of an industrial depression to
advance their views, the Sociasts-and they are
considerable in numbers in New York-were
present and Piled the secretary with many ques-
tons Public speakers who are subjected to
questions by an audience usually have difficult
time. but Mr.. Taft did not put his foot in it."
He made no breaks" but manifested himself as
a careful student Of social questions, with
breadth of view and sympathy Of feeling that
must have won the respect if not the agreement
OF his audience. Those who have sought to be-
little Mr. Taft as an "echo" OF President Roose-
welt or an "heir apparent" Of the Chief Magistrate
will surely find that Taft is as large mentally as
he is physically, and that he is fully capable of
taking care Of himself and standing by his own
views on the questions of the day. He needs no
prop.
Mr.. Taft pleaded for the cooperation of capi-
tai and labor, and showed their dependence upon
each other, but he took the modern view regard
ing the relations between the two. lie declared
that strikes under certain conditions are justih-
able, that a manufacturer should deal with
ganzed labor, and he asserted that the blacklist
was equally wrong and cruel with the boycott"
Mr.. Taft announced that he favors a law to cor
rect the abuses of injunctons that are often en-
ployed indiscrminately. The old law he said,
should be revised to require notice to the defend
ants and hearing before any injunction issues
Doubtless modification OF the rules governing
injunctions would do away with the chief cause
of complaint of government by injunction"

GEORGETOWN, Jan. 1S-Fearing
that relatives might get in ahead Of
him and seize the property Of Jerry
Steelman, deceased, Undertaken Sampel
J. Wilson. Of Milford, stopped a fun
eral cortege which was passing the
court house while he stepped inside and
got out letters OF administration on the
property of the dead man.
Steelman. who has been an oyster
man near Milton. owned a little prop
erty, but falling sick he was taken to
the almshouse, where he died. Wilson
was engaged to conduct the burial and
came to the almshouse after the body.
On the way to Georgetown he heard
that distant relatives of Steelman
would make an effort to get the little
property that had belonged to the man,
and ne at once decided to see that the
burial expenses were first paid.
The funeral cortege had wound It's
way up the road from the almshouse
when the court house was reached. on
the way to Milton. "Strike when the
iron is hot" thought Wilson, and at
once stopped the hearse and hurried
down into the Office Of the Register
of Wills, where he had the letters of
administration made out to himself.
With these in his pocket he felt secure
that he would be paid for the burial,
and, jumping on the hearse again,
drove off with the cabs winding pe-
hind.
