BUFFALO BILL TELLS Of SITTING BULL

taken most of the land, had destroyed

least he could do was to halt and leave
Sioux people undisturbed, the white

effect.

AMERICAN JURY SYSTEM.

The American system of selecting jurors was severely scored by Sidney S. J. Steadman, a London barrister, who visited a Chicago court room and listened with amazement to the long examination of talesmen. He de- clared that in England even in the most important civil and crimintl cases, the jury as rule, is secured wihtin three minutes.
 "The principal officer of the court, whose duty is to assist the judge, is supplied With list usually containing forty Or fifty names taken from list of persons qualified to serve, he said. From this list he calls twelve names taking them from the list in any order he pleases As each man is called there is pause before they are sworn when either side may challenge, but that right is rarely used The good faith and impartiality of the jury is taken for granted. After that moment

WOMAN TIPPLES
 HUBBY'S LESSON

Chicago, May S.-Admittins that she became intoxicated on several occa- sions, but saving that she did so only to afford an object lesson to her hus- 1 band because of his bibulous habits. Mrs. w. A. D. Montgomery, 3O3 North Clark street. has answered his divorce suit charge.
 Her husband, a well known physi- elan, filed his suit and ordered his wife evicted from the house. He al | legged that she was intoxicated on sev- eral occasions.
 1T do not deny that I drank, she said He drove me to it. One night he came home so drunk he couldnot see me when he stood before me. l determined to cure him, and I drank myself His effort to ruin my life by making this charge only shows that he is using as a weapon my action to make man out of him.
 She also alleges that he belonged to the University and Whist clubs, and that at both places he lost much mon- ey. One time she found bill from the University club for $60 for drinks he had bought and had not paid for, she says His loss of $700 at cards in one month caused quarrel be- tween them, she said. The real req son for his filing the bill, she main tains. is that he loved his club better than his wife.
 Mrs. Montgomery is undaunted by her husbands action in evicting her Tomorrow she will search for work Before her marriage she was employ ed on the Railway Age as a writer.
 T am willing to get out she saiG last night. 1t will give me an op- portunity to prove that am not afraid of work My character will not be hurt by my husbands charges wheI the world finds that l did it to save him. Society and money have no made me too proud to work

elapses. he jury is ordered to arise, and the oath is administered, and at once the counsel for the prosecution rises to open his case
 The English solicitor Was positive the lustsh usually are positive-that under the British system miscar- ria3es Of justice Were rare and that graft" and jury fixing are practi- cally unknown. He 2asped in aston ishmcnt as he iistcncI to the quizzn@ of ,he yenircmen, and heard the law iyers for the prosecution and defense question them. When told that III some instances days elapse without a single juror being secured, he ex- claimed:
 "The time wasted by your meth ods must be prodigious. The judge, the waiting iurymcn, the parties to the cause and the counsel--thin of ! the time that goes for naught. A few minutes devoted by the judge at the opening of the case, or even ln the summing up, would in practically ev- cry instance achieve the same end. The wheels of justice would go round faster"
 If it would eliminate bias then let us adopt the English method. AS 1t is now much money and time are spent in the selection of jurors, and then too often they are as biased as they can be.

still likes her.
 There was good reason for our so- 1 ing to Niles, Mich, to be married, she said "The woman of his boy hood love was in Chicago.
 "After we were married she called me to the telephone and told me that was being treated badly by my hus- band. Once I saw her in his office But I forgive her--he was only fool ish old bachelor"
 Mrs. Montgomery says the doctor began to cool toward her when she re- fused to receive his relatives. On one occasion she would not give a din- ner to Thomas Montgomery and his wife, and the doctor became angry She did not like her new relatives she says.
 Soon after he joined the University club. Then his wife began to suspect that he loved club life better than her She says that he was suspended be- cause he did not pay debts. The story that he lost $7O0 in one month play l ing whist also came to her and she upbraided him for his extravaganza.
 Dr. Montgomery has left his house and his wife says she does not know :, where he is.

portant link in another big scheme which
is to Join the Mediterranean countries with
both east and west Africa This is to
combine a railroad across the Sahara, to
be built by the French, with one to be
made by the Germans. going through the
Kameruns to the Gulf of Guinea and
branch lines extending east and west
from these two. The French part OF the
road may be built southwark to Tim
buctoo, or, what is more probable, go to the
southeast and strike Kano. 1 went over the
first 400 miles or so of this road. 1t now

tween Morocco and Nigeria to Colomb

saw the railway which leads from eastern
Algeria down to Biskra, in the Sahara. 1t
is more probable that the latter road will
be extended than the former, and l under
stand the survey from Biskra TO LAX Chad
has been made. The road will go to the
oasis of Wargla and thence up the Ichargar
valley. It will cross the Amadgor range OF
mountains at an altitude about that of the
Alleghenies, and will thence make its way
to Kuka, on Lake Chad. The cost of con-
struction is estimated at about $4,000 per
kilometer. From Kuka the Germans are
expected to take the road down through
the Kameruns to the Atlantic, and there
will probably be an extension westward

fected within the city limits. The change
of power was had under the supervision Of
William ]. Wilgus, vice president OF the
company. In discussing the results in the
New York Times. Mr.. Wilgus says, in
part:
1.-THE early Identification Of steam rail-
roads IN great centers Of population is
inevitable, because the demand of the pub
lie for the removal of the disagreeable
features incident to the use OF the steam
locomotive is reinforced by the benefits
that will accrue to the railroads in in
creased earning capacity and the possibili-
ties OF economies that will at least tend
to offset the interest charges on the cost
Of the change. Away from the large cities
the prospects for the eclipse Of the steam
locomotive are very remote, pending the
perfection by the inventor OF devices that
will substantially reduce the cost of in
stallation and thereby minimize the burden
OF additional fixed charges.
For instance, with the dir~ect-current
third-rail system the cost of distribution
OF electric power is large owing to the
need Of expensive s~ubstations for the con-
Version of high-pressure alternating cur
rent, so well suited for economical trans
mission. to the low voltage direct current
49, 49, 40 NHN $3.50 $500 AN
motors. Attempts to escape this expense
by the use OF the overhead alternating
current system have not been entirely sue
oessful where adopted on trunk lines, as
the saving in substations has been offset
by the greater weight and cost of electric
locomotives and by unreliability of opera
tion.
''This question of comparative cost and
reliability is the real point at issue in the
warfare that has been holly waged for
the last five years over the relative merits
of these two systems. Until this dispute
is definitely settled no great progress can
be expected In the general application
of electricity on steam railways.
apart from the substantial reduction in
the costs of installation Of electricity on
steam railroads that will follow a salts
factory solution Of the problems OF the
rival system there are a number Of other
opportunities for advance in the art. Fol-
instance. the development Of water powers
and the utilization of cheap fuel at the
mines, combined with an extended per
missible radius OF transmission will al
tend TO lower the costs OF current e
prospective users at remote points. Then
too, improvements are constantly being
made in power station design by minimiz.
ing the losses accompanying the conversion
Of fuel into energy. The simplifying OF
signal systems so as to reduce the cost OF
electrified steam railways is also an i'm.
portant item. The necessary safeguard
for protecting the movement Of heavy
trains at short intervals on electrified
trunk lines are now very expensive and ont
of the principal handicaps to the widening
use OF electricity.
''The high first cost and the expense o.
maintenance OF batteries now preclude
their more extensive use for i~nsuring re
liability Of train service and lessened cos
OF operation. Their Improvement will no
only overcome that obstacle, but will alsC
make more practicable the use OF eleotris

routes from Tripoh and the Upper Niger,
which in olden times had caravan connec-
ton with the ocean. with the Meditter-
ranean and with the Red sea-
This road, which is now building, will
make 1t possible to take goods to Kano by
steam. 1t is to begin at the town OF Baro,
the highest n~avigable point on the Niger,
and to extend from there 400 miles east
ward to Kano.
When this road Is built all the supplies
for northern Nigeria will be sent to the
Gulf OF Guinea up the Niger and inland
by rail, and the caravan trade will bs
destroyed as far as crossing the Sahara
is concerned. This will be a great blow
to the countries along the Mediterranean.
A loan for this Nigerian railway has al
ready been authorized by the British gov
eminent, and 1 understand that the line is
to be pushed with all possible speed. The
track is to be of a firty-inch gauge, and is
to be completed within four years. The
cost is estimated at about $~7,0O0,000 or
$780, 900, and It will be met by bonds raised
on southern Nigeria, the interest of which
will be guaranteed by the government. As
to dividends, the road will hardly pay
much for some time to come. 1t will greatly
develop the country, however, and 1t is
advocated by the authorities as a military
necessity.

Timbuctoo has always seemed one of the
most inaccessible parts of the world. Il
will surprise man. to know that 1t can now
be reached by steam. The French have
built a railway from Hayes to the Niger,
a distance Of S4S miles, and they have also
a road connecting st. Louis and Daker.
One can go by steamer from st. Louis to
Hayes, and on the vessels Of the Niger
from there to within a few miles Of Tim
buctoo. The time is comparatively short
and the expense inconsiderable.
Timbuctoo itself has dwindled. It used
to be one Of the chief trading stations on
the southern side Of the Sahara, and cara
vans of thousands of camels from Morocco
and Algeria came there every year. Today
the most of the goods go by this steam
route, and the camel trade amounts to but
little. Ttmbuctoo is now not even a mis-
sion center. and the old song has lost its
meaning. You may remember II:
