cannon which is much larger than the
rest. The inventor has thoughtfulIy
provided this cannon for a special pur-
pose. As a matter of fact, it is by
this gun that those who reeite poems,
original or otherwise, stand on those
Sunday evenings given up to his enter
tainments, to which invitations are
much sought after.
Many high brows have stood by this
gun. As to the piano-that has been
deftly converted into small but form
liable arsenal, so much so that the
ancient adage of FDon't shoot the
pianist-he is doing his bestl'' has
thus been rendered entirely unneces-
sary. Many pianists, known and I'M
known, and it may be said here that
unknown pianists have become known
at these entertainments, perhaps be-
cause of the guns, have played there
fearlessly, particularly as it also is
covered by the cannon which confronts
one upon entering the room
However, there is this to be said of
the character Of the program, which
follows upon the elaborate dinner in
the diningroom downstairs, practical
~ the only gunless room in the house;
it is of such a nature that not one who
has sat by listening has ever been
heard to express the wish, no matter
who stands by or behind them, that
the guns would go off.

subjects considered today by tho

of the college board of the church, IN

In 1889 only s per cent of tho men

10 Instances, only 6 per cent were
from undcnominational colleges. That
is the result Of the work that has
been done by the college board"
Rev j. Ross Stevenson, vice presi-

50 per cent OF the foreign missionaries
come from UNCONVENTIONAL colleges.

HAD HIS OPPORTUNITY.

Thaw had the opportunity ON the
trial to introduce evidence of his mental
condition at that time, which he did
not do; lie should have known that the
adjudication of the court would follow
a verdict of not guilty by reason of
insanity; he Was represented by able
counsel who urged the jury before
whom he was tried upon n charge of
homicide TO acquit him because of his
insanity.
I have made careful examination of
the authorities and l do not find that
this statute has ever been passed upon
by any of the courts in this state. 1t
has been in existence and operation for
many years without question, and ii is
the duty of the court to presume in
favor of the validity of the statute un-
til its violation Of the constitution Is
established beyond all reasonable doubt,
result which may follow from one con-
struction or another Is always a potent
factor and is sometimes in and OF
itself conclusive.
In constituting this statute, II should
be borne in mind that the safety and
welfare Of the community is of moro
Importance than the freedom of the
individual.
1t is well settled that where there
is right of AN appeal. no court should
declare i'm the first instance "A statute
unconstitutional unless its unconstitu-
tionality Is plain, especially when the
statute has been long in force and its
constitutionality has never been ques-
toned. This may well be the rule
when the effect of declaration of UNI
constltutionality would be to free from
needful restraint number of persons
Of unsound mind Of whom il has been
adjudged by competent courts that
their going at large would be danger
Gus to the public peace or safety.
The relator claims that the statute
does not provide method by which
Thaw can be discharged

vides ANY inmate, not a convict. held
upon an order OF court or judge in a
