q VERDICT IN THIRTY MIN
UTES IN CRIPPEN'S CASE.

There does no: seem TO be anything
wrong with the jury system in Eng
land if prompt verdicts are what IS
wanted. The jury in the CripPen case
was out but thirty minutes before
bringing in a sentence OF murder in
the first degree.
The accounts printed here of the
trial have not been full enough TO
give US the case as it went to the
jury, but we have had enough to con-
vince US that if Crippen had been tried
in this country, with all the technical
ties and delays our astute criminal
lawyers have learned to interpOse, his
trial would hardly be under way by
this time. The mere difficulty of prov
ing the body of the crime would have
been a good enough point for many
shrewd attorneys over here to have
got a disagreement on.
No one who has followed the Grip
pen case can have much doubt as TO
the mans guilt; but even with our
knowledge of the difference in pro-
cedure in England, there Will be sur
prise at the promptness and business
like :~sy the case has been disposed Of.

POE AT LAST IN THE HALL
OF FAME.

The fact that Edgar Allan Poe has
been included among the eleven i'm
mortals Just added to the Hall of
Fame means more to the American
Pantheon itself than it does to the
fame of the nan whose name viii
thereby lend rather than borrow lus-
ter. In the balloting he was a Joint
heir with Oliver Wendell Holmes to
a popularity exceeded only by that
of Mrs Stowe.
During the five years which have
elapsed since the last balloting for
the Hall Of Fame popular opinion has
practically put the institution on
trial. To haze excluded the name of
Poe. the first of American men Of
letters to attain a position at once
cosmopolitan and enduring, would have

THE CHURCH FAIRS WHOLE
SOME RIVAL.

The drift of the Ladies' Aid Society
toward field work instead of the
church Social forecasts the passing OF
al institution and the incoming OF a
higher ethical standard.
Up in Columbia county, Pennsyl-
vania, one of these typical organiza-
tions, which always have TO shoulder
the responsibility for the last quarter
of the minister's salary, has aban-
doned the predatory rafiie, the cut
purse auction, and the Rhine baron
oyster supper, and has gone out into
the rural districts to husk corn. The
sinking fund needed the money and
the farmer needed corn huskers. In
one day a quartet of these rosy
Ruths husked out 100 bushels of corn
OF the cob, at net profit of $50,
and the delighted Boaz has engaged
them for a month to come
The warmest friends of the church

gallons of milk to a whole hall full OF

WHAT WOULD THE TUBER.
CULIN TEST COST?

Ii the District Commissioners should
decide to insist upon the tubercuIin test
for Virginia and Maryland dairy herds
whose milk is sold in Washington.
what would be the expense to farmers
in dollars and cents?
This is a question to which an an
proXImately accurate answer should be
found by the Commissioners or bv the
Chamber of Commerce milk committee.
For two reasons we should obtain re-
liable information: First. because it
Is right that we should know how ex-
pensive the test would be to the pro
ducer, and second, because we should
know whether the application of the
test would seriously curtail our milk
supply.
II would be a pretty difficult task to
go through the herds and make an
estimate of the number of COWS that
would have to be destroyed if the test
regulation were put into operation. We
have at hand, however, information
upon which reasonably fair estimate
can be made The percentage Of tuber-
culous stock among the cattle of the
District Is known, and could probably
Be accepted as an indication of the per
centage Of tuberculous stock among the
cattle of Virginia and Maryland.
A year ago the Health Department
put the herds of the District under
the tuberculin test regulation. Out
l,70l COWS tested. 3l9 reacted. This
was a percentage of 1871. It is reason
able to suppose the percentage Of
tuberculous cattle would not run as
high in Virginia and Maryland, be-
cause the dairy herds there are not
restricted to such small areas.
The records of the Bureau Of Animal
Industry probably furnish a better in
dicatior of the extent of tuberculosis
among Virginia and Maryland cattle.
yrom 1898 to 1908 the tuberculin test
Ca applied to 4OO,OOS cattle under the
supervision Of the bureau The number
that reacted was $1,000. or 9.25 per
cent. These figures are for long
period, and were for tests made in all
parts of the country.
1t seems safe to estimate that. if
the test were demanded, the Virginia
and Maryland farmers who furnish
milk for the District would lose from
one-eighth to one-sixth of their cattle.
This is a smaller loss than the pro-
ducers have feared; it IS much smaller
than the retailers here have given as
probable.
Whether even this relatively small
number of cattle should be condemned
without any provision having been
made to compensate the owners is a
serious question. If definite assurances
