The Llama With a Saddle.

In his native country the llama is
trained as a beast of burden, and in
this capacity is very useful for, hard
and wiry by nature, he can carry as
much as a 100 pounds. AS mount,
too, he is quite easy to train. Indeed
both the llama and the oneiko take to
the saddle as to the manner born
when once they have assured them
selves that their teacher wishes them
well. Their most striking popularity
as saddle animals, however, Is a strong
objection to having their heads in any
way pulled about by their riders. So
long as their mouths are left alone
they will amble along quite contented-
ly at fair rate of speed, but if they
are ridden by some one with heavy
hand they show tendency to stop at

supreme Court JUDGE
RAPS JUDGE M'GEHEE

Jackson, Miss, Dec 14.-In handing
down his decision reversing and re-
manding the case of Henry Pearson
against the State from Amite county
Monday, Commissioner Whitfield took
occasion to criticise Special Judge L..
M. McGehee of Summit, who tried the
case.
1t was the case of Henry Pearson,
charged with a heinous crime, in
which Pearson was convicted and
sentenced to the penitentiary. Attor-
neys for the defense filed something
like 80 or 40 exceptions, claiming the
special judge erred in various ways,
and Commissioner Whitfeld's decis-
ion and subsequent opinion was red
olent with the most caustic criticism
ever heard in the Supreme Court room.
Friends of Mr.. McGehee who heard
the severe arraignment, regarded the
utterances of the court, or Commits
sioner Whitfield, as unwarranted by
the facts in the case, which were con
( tanned in the RECORD of the trial, one
of the most revolving in the history oi
the state. The language used by Com
missioner Whitfield in dealing wifi
the case was straight from the shoul
der. and he really reversed and re
manded the case on technicality. II
/ referring to this he said the newspa
pers woould charge the court with re
versing the lower court on a techni
cal point, but that in this case it coult
not do otherwise. sft'
He bases his opinion on four points
raised by attorneys for the defense
/ declining to give the numerous othe
exceptions consideration. The CON
missioner's language caused some
thing of a sensation in court, espe
cially his reference to Mr. McGehe,
and a physician of repute and higl
standing, who testified in the case.

Washington, Dec. 14.-"Sharehold

Honesty in corporations is just as

This was the opinion expressed to-

the recent experience of the Western
Union Telegraph Co., which recently
marked down a. supposed surplus of
$l9 100000 to an actual~one of $5,0OO,-

earned the reward of honesty by see-

railroad or industrial, would be more
definite and implicit in their reports
than they are now, in many instances,
the confidence of the investing public

condition they could be confident they
would be advised at least every three
