TAFT TALKS TO LAWYERS
Addresses Members of Virginia
Bar Association.
JUSTICES ADMINISTRATION
Lynchins He Believes Largely Brought
About by the Failure to Vigorously
Prosecute Criminals, and Economy BY
Courts and Attorneys Urged.

Hot Springs. Va, Aug. 6.-Judge
Taft addressed the Virginia Bar as
ISOLATION.
Judge Taft presented the subject
by stating that the end sought in the
administration of justice was to pro.
mote tranquility and contentment
among the people. It had, he said, long
been established that the supreme
court OF the United States was the
ultimate arbiter of great political and
legal issues. deciding upon limitations
Of both legislative and executive
branches of the government. which
carried the usefulness of the courts
beyond anything attempted by other
rountries. Notwithstanding this de.
slrable situation, Mr.. Taft expressed
a doubt Of our political administration
of justice insuring general popular
satisfaction with results.
There are" he said, abundant
evidences that prosecution of crimi.
nails has not been certain and thor.
oughly to the point in preventing a
popular protest. The existence OF
lynching in all parts of the country
is directly traceable to this lack OF
uniformity and thoroughness in the
enforcement of our criminal laws"
AS to the jury system Judge Taft
said: I'VE cannot, OF course. dispense
with the jury system. 1t is that which
makes the people part of the admins.
tration Of justice, but every means by
which in civil cases litlgants may be
induced to voluntarily avoid expense,
delay and burden jury trials ought to
be encouraged, because in this way
the general administration of justice
would be greatly facilitated and the |
expense incident to delay in litigation
be greatly reduced"
Mr.. Taft closed with a tribute to
the legal profession and cautioned |
that conservatism ought not to be al. |
lowed to prevent reforms which are
In the interest of equalizing the ad- |
ministration OF justice as far as pos
sible between the poor and the rich.

Harvest Time in Nevada

Today Carson Valley represents one
of the most delightful spots in all
Nevada. Her thousands of acres of
alfalfa is about matured and within the
next week the mowers sickle will begin
the gigantic task of reducing the blue
blossoming field to hay. This is most
pleasing after glancing over a magazine
article in which the author laments over
conditions in Nevada and sympathizes
with those who are endeavoring to earn
q living from an agricultural way.
Come and see the countless acres of
waving grain and hay dancing to the
Summers breeze; come and see our
creameries and flour mills in daily
operation; come and see the magnificent
farm residences and meet prosperous
and contented people of Carson, Valley,
and well, we guess you'll change your
way of thinking. -Gardnerville Courier.

THE SUN A PUZZLE.
We See Only the Outer Shells of the
Great Blazing Orb.


Great Blazing Orb.
The great ball Of fire which we call
the sun is not really the sun. No one
has ever seen the sun. A series OF
concentric shells envelops a nucleus of
which we know absolutely nothing ex-
cept that it must be almost infinitely
hotter than the fiercest furnace and
that 1T must amount to more than nine
tenths of the solar mass.
That nucleus is the real sun, forever
hidden from US. The OutermOSt of the
enveloping shells is about 5000 miles
thick and is called the chrOmosphere.
1t is a gaseous fluid, tinted with the
scarlet glare of hydrogen, and so furi-
ously active that it spurts up great
tongues of glowing gas prominences)
to the height of thousands of miles.
Time was when this agitated sea of
crimson fire could be seen to advantage
only during an eclipse. Now special in
struments are used which enable as
tronomers to study 1T in the full glare
of the sun
Beyond the chromcsphere, far beyond
pallid corona visible only during the
vanishing moments Of a total eclipse,
aggregating not more than seven days
in a century.
No one has ever satisfactorily ex-
planned how the highly attenuated
matter composing both the pPomi-
nences and the corona is supported
without falling back into the sun IN

that Arrhenius has cosmically applied

is presented.
How difficult it is 60 account for
such delicate streamers as the promt-
nences on the sun is better cOmpre-
hended when we fully understand how
relentlessly powerful is the grip of
solar gravitation. "~r :
| If the sun were a fabitable globe
and you could transport yourself to its.
surface, you would find yourself pull9d2
down so forcibly by gravitation that

more than hundred pounds. Baseball
could be played in a solar drawing

Rhodes and Matrimony.

Cecil Rhodes at one time had a pri-
vate secretary of whom he entertained
a high opinion and whose services he
greatly valued One fine morning this
favorite abruptly announced that he
was going TO be married. The colossus
was speechless with indignation for a
moment, and then, glaring at the cul-
prit, he growled out, what on earth
am 1 going to do for another secre-
tary?"
Without waiting for reply ne STROBE
from the room, slamming the door be-
hind him with great violence. His
good nature, however. prompted him TO
extend the forgiving hand later on,
and he gave to the bride some fine
diamonds. In addition, he lent them
his own carriage and horses for use TO
and from the church.
1t never entered his head to give his
erstwhile favorite secretary any more
employment. Such a crime as matri-
mony, though forgiven, could not be
condoned.

Begging Letters.
man,

Nowhere is the ingenuity OF the
present age more apparent than in tie
begging letters received by rich men,
said a private secretary. Il have been
reading letters of that kind by the hun
dred for the past fifteen years. For
merly all begging letters sounded alike.
So stereotyped were they that they
might have been copied bodily from a
ready letter writer. Now the writer's
display originality. They may want
the same old thing that their predeces-
sors wanted, but they ask for it in a
different way. People in need have
acquired the art Of expressing them
selves in a dramatic way. That is TO
their advantage. 1t may be unjust,
but usually the letter that hits the rich
man hardest brings the most favorable
reply. The writer may not really need
assistance nearly so badly as some
timid suppliant who clings to trite
phrases, but he gets the relief asked
for every time"

RECKLESS AARON BURR.
The Dramatic Story Of His Marriage
In Old Age.

In Old Age.
The story Of Aaron Burr'S marriage
in his old age to the widow Of Stephen
Jumel, who was well known in the
early history of New York city, is a
dramatic one.
Conceive, if you will. the picture Of
Burr, gifted adventurer that he was,
broken in health, branded in the popu-
Lar mind as the murderer Of Alexander
Hamilton and returning from q long
exile to find himself an outcast in the
city where he had once been the pOlit-
ical monarch of all he surveyed and a
distinguished figure in society and at
the bar Conceive, If you can, this
lamentable old man, smirking through
his wrinkles, bowling and prancing
rather stiff1y because Of his rheumatic
joints and with his mouth full of pref
ty platitudeS, paying court to the wild
ow of Stephen Jumel, herself in the
prime of years and health Remove
from the picture its surface Incongrui-
ties, and you have bit of pure pathOS
unequaled IN the annals of foolish great
men.
But something Of his Old time pow
er to charm the gentler sex must have
stood by him in his years of mental
and physical misery, for in his suit for
the widow Jumel's hand and fortune
he won gloriously, dramatically. Re
buffed repeatedly, Burr finally de-
clared IN passionate rage that on q
given day he would arrive at the Jumel
mansion accompanied by a clergyman
who should marry them ON the spot
He would give his prospective bride no
quarter, no chance of escape from the
Inevitable. &4,ssfsssa. &
She was amused at the threat and
dismissed the old man with more than
her usual GOODNESS Of demeanOr. Burr
stuck to his avOwal and one July day
rolled up in q carriage, and with him
was a minister, the same who fifty years
before performed the marriage cere-
mony for Burr and the mother of his
daughter, the beautiful TheOdOsia.
There was something of a scene in the
old house on this day. There were
tears of anger ON the part Of Burr.
Relatives demonstrated: Burr remained
! immOvable. All feared a scandal. The
minister, book in hand, stood unob-
| trusively in the background There
were more tears, more declarations OF
undying love, and the widow JumeI
became Mrs. Aaron Burr.
They We're married in the great
| drawing room of the Jumel mansion
Burr squandered with reckless HAND
the wealth acquired by Stephen june
and left for the enjoyment of his
marital partner. There were many bit
ter quarrels between the i'll mated pair
and they We're soon divorced. Burr
died in 1886, but madam lived until
| 1866, dying recluse and a miser, the
money received from the Jumel estate
