To get some men of probity to come

We took another set of men an told
'em to inspect.

such delay could mean
In work so well inspected, supervised

The only manual labor on this job that
seemed to slow
Was done with great reluctance by a
small boy with hoe.
The situation naturally shocked our
civic pride.
We called some meetin's an the proper

We got the overseers to tell exactly
what they knew

THE STBI.EY CASE.

f1E. SlDLL1 SLAoL@.
The Sibley case has occupied six
DAYS of the week. It has been thor
oughly sifted and finally it has been
presented to the jury, dissected of all
frivolous contentious. During the ex-
animation of the witnesses there were
frequent legal collisions between the
States attorneys and the attorneys for
the prisoner, on exceptions and trivial
points, which are not TOLERATED i'll the
courts of England, but in the United
States and in Louisiana there is given
to attorneys in such case the widest OF
latitude. The presumption is that
man is always innocent until he has
been adjudged guilty, and on that the
ory a defendant in case of murder
where his life is in jeopardy must re-
sort to every point in reach to defeat
the end of justice if possible.
The crime for which Sibley was
called to trial is familiar to readers of
newspapers. There has been reported
in detail every feature of the case, and
therefore it is unnecessary to repeat
what is so thoroughly familiar in the
public mind
In such a case there are some SYM
pathizers for the defendant Indeed the
defendant is never friendless, at least
when such friendship is not costly and
does not involve any consideration of
value or of personal sacrifice. 1t is
such maudlin sentiment which general
ly operates to the notification of JUS
tice and which nerves the hand inclined
to murder.
Whatever may be the conclusion of
the trial, the responsibility must rest
on the jury. 1t may be mistrial or 1t
may be manslaughter, and it may be
guilty without capital punishment, but
there is scarcely probability of an ac-
+, quittal.
To liberate Sibley in the face of the
facts developed coupled with his con-
] fession of the crime, the murder of DR.
! White, would be a mockery of justice
In the record of crime, few if any
trials for murder in Caddo parish have
been so thoroughly subjected to such
searching inquiry as has been given by
District Attorney J. M4Foster and his
assistants, Hon. Frank J. Looney and
Hon. w. H. Scheen. Mr.. Looney's
presentation of the case on behalf OF
the State was an effort full of zeal and
, eloquence in the plea for justice and
the enforcement of the law. And in Mr.
Scheen the State had most able rep
resentative who swept away all thu
sophistries and pretenses of the defend
ant
In Hon. J. R. Land the prisoner had
defender trained in the criminal law.
He spoke fervently and appealed TO the
sympathies of the jury. So did Mr.
! Bennett exert himself in favor of his
client, but i'll the finale District Attor-
ney Foster seemed to be at his best.
His review of the case was so clear and
forceful as to relieve every reasonable
mind of doubt He pleaded earnestl,
and eloquent1y for the enforcement Of
the law and for that justice which is
intended not in the sense of retributior
or in vengeful spirit, but as an essen
tial to the protection of human life.

ADRIFT IN CANOE IA DAYS.

With the arrival at Victoria, Brit
ish Columbia, of the sealing schooner
Thomas F. Bayard, particulars are
/ learned of the experiences Of an In
dian hunter and his wife during thir-
! teen days of exposure and starvation
on the storm tossed waters of Bering
Sea, after their canoe had been car
ried away from the schooner by a
gale. The couple had seven biscuits
with them-their days allowance
when they left the schooner to hunt
seals, and four Of them were washed
overheard shortly alter leaving the
Bayard. They allotted themselves
one inch of biscuit each a day, and
managed to exc out an existence on
this allowance for nine days.
They had DO drinking water with
them in the canoe, but when it rained
they caught the rain in the folds of
their sail. On the tenth day, when
hope was almost gone, they managed
to kill a seal which was asleep on the
ice. A fire was made il the bottom
Of the canoe, the unfortunatas using
their spear poles and mast for fuel.
Before the meat was more than half
cooked, the Indians snatched it and
ate it. They were famished and al
most exhausted
On the fourteenth day after leav-
ing the schooner they landel at Bris-
tol Bay, Unimak Island While
searching for water they came upon
some bears, which Immediately made
for the Indians and scared them back
to their canoe. The canoe was over
turned in the surf, the woman being
caught underneath the boat by her
clothing. She was extricated with
difficulty and both waded ashore.
The canoe had been cracked Ey
pounding CT the rocks, but they
caulked it with a portion OF the mans
shirt and for two days more the craft
was kept afoat by dint of constant
bailing, until landing was made at
an abandoned hut, where two quarts
Of -four was found. Here they lived
for eight days. Eventually they were
picked up by the steamer Dora, in a
most pitiable condition, their hands
and feet being swollen to nearly twice
their natural size from exposure.

CHAPTER XIV.
The Black Line.

Only fortnight had elapsed since
VINEYARD Mistley's departure from
Broomhaugh, and Colonel Wright
was already beginning to experience
some anxiety at the absence of news
from him. The old soldier, too i'm

aloud at the prolonged silence of his
pupil He knew that there must be
good reason for it; but felt at the
same time that he, Of all people.
might reasonably expect to be kept
fully posted as to Winyard' S move
ments.
On tbs fifteenth morning the tardy
letter arrived at last, having been
forwarded by Mrs. Mistley from
Paris. The colonel read it slowly,
for it was written in pencil on the
torn-out page of sketchbCok. Then
he turned the paper over again and
read it aloud:
Dear Colonel leave Moscow

station on the Mini Line. | am fair

unwillingness-som one else must.

A Viking funeral ship, reputed to
be at least 100 years old, has been
recently discovered in Norway. It's
mortuary chamber contained the
bones CT two women, who, judging
from the size of the craft and its ap-
pointm ents, evidently belonged to
some noble and wealthy family. The
vessel, which is seventy feet long and
sixteen and a half feet broad, was
dug out of a tumulus two and half
miles from shore, Oh the farm Of
Oseberg, near Tonsberg. The treas

ago, it had been unearthed by un-

AN INSTANCE OF HEROIsM.

Mrs. Emily and Augusta Pope. OF
Boston, speak with gratitude Of Dr..
Elizabeth Anderson, the first woman
to be elected to the Office of Mayor in
England. When the Franco-Prussian
War broke out these twin sisters
were studying medicine in Paris.
They got out Of Paris by the last train
that left the city and made their way
to London. Without knowing it they
had been exposed to smallpox and
were taken i'll in London. They
wanted to consult a woman physician
and went to DR.. Anderson. They had
no idea of what was the matter with
them, but Dir. Anderson saw at once.
She took them into her own house,
isolated them in a room on the top
floor and nursed them through the
attack of smallpox herself. The Pope
sisters were entire strangers to her
and she knew them only as two young
medical students in serious trouble.
