others are invited. The favored
six are expected to bee-have and

Fine! They're off, smashing

business around the ring and II was
chiefly of an evening up nature, IN an
effort to get the market IN shape TO
go over the publication OF the con-
dition figures.
Too much rain was complained OF
in the Eastern and central portions OF
the belt while too little was falling in
the Western part. Against these &C
counts were reports of still further
closing down by mills n especially
in the South.

son for july 10 is d Quarterly Ike

BY WILLIAM L. ELLIS.

A familiar old story tells Of a wo-
mar who told a stranger how he could
identify her husband at a railway sta
ton: You Will find him helping
Somebody That is a mark of the
Lord Jesus. AS we look bach over
three months studies in the Gospel
Of Matthew, we find him on every page
helping somebody. The character OF
the Master should characterize his
friends; the best Christian uniform is
a habit of humble helpfulness. The
best review of these lessons is a nota-
ton of the Ways in which their pre-
cents have been ~Dracticed. CHRISTIAN
Koreans have q habi Of committing
a Bible passage to n by gong
out and t~ranslating it into an action.
The very Korean phrase for being a
disciple means TO dc the d~octrine.'
This weary world wants helping.
The varied needs Of mankind smite a
sensitive spirit to compassion. D1mly,
men see tina their blind groupings have
God for their goal. Nobody can sit
in the school of Christ without hav-
ing a sympathy for all forms of out
reaching after the Infinite, For the
answer to all q~uestionings and riddles
is just-GOd. AS William Herbert Car
ruth has beautifully expressed it in
his poem, Each in His Own Tongue;
"A fre-mist and a planet,
A crystal ard a cell,
A jelly-lish and a saurian,
And caves where the caEe-men
dwell;
Then a sense Of law and beauty
And q face turned from the clOd,-
Some call it Evolution,
And others call it God.
A haze on the far horizon,
The infinite, tender sky,
The ripe, rich tint Of the cornields,
And the ~wild-geese sailing high;
And ali over upland and loWland
The charm Of the golden-rod,-
Some Of us call it Autumn,
And others call it God.
Like tides on & crescent Sea-beach.
When the moon is new and thin.
Into our hearts high yearnings
Come yelling and surging In:
Come from the mystic ocean
Whose rim no foot has trod,
Some of us call it Longing.
And other call it God.
"A picket frozen or duty.
A mother starved for her brood,
drinking the hemlock,
And Jesus on the rood;
And millions who, humble and name
less,

And others call it God"

What a eSSiOn of sad and Suf-
ferins people march through these few
pages of Matthew's There
was more physical sufe ring in the
time Of Jesus than may be found now
in a Christian country. 1t is almost
impossible to collect in North Am erica
any such group as gathered about the
Helper as he walked with plying eye
through the crowded streets Of the
cities OF Palestine. His influence has
expressed itse;f in this land in lpospi-
.dls and asyluTns and orphanges and
schools for every kind Of need and
suffering. Thanks to the i'm partation
of his love into the breasts of millions,
most persons who read these lines will
never witness such scenes as rent
ChriSt'S heart.
Let US count the outstanding cases
which the Sunday schools have been
studying during the quarter now end
ing. There was the ruler whose
daughter Jesus restored to life-a
miracle mirroring the Punishment of
the sting of death from countless
homes since. That house of sorrow
was turned into a house of JOY by the
entrance of Jesus. Hard by stands
the patti etc figure of the woman with
an issue Of blood, made bold by a
Great suffering, and rewarded for her
faith by healing. The two blind men
and the demon-possessed dumb man
al1orded other opportunities for
Christ's love to express itself. Then
came the Canaanite oma daring
much because believing greatly, and
getting the boon of health for her
daughter because she read Alright the
benignant eye Of the Nazarene.
Well might he send ack to the
troubled Baptist, as proof Of his Mes
siahShip, the message, The blind re-
ce1Ve their sight, and the lame walk,
the lepers are cleansed n the deaf
hear, and the dead are raised up, and
the poor have good tidings preached

Portland, Or, Dec. 20.-At 4
O'Clock the jury trying Mrs. Carrie

of William Johnson at the New
Grand Central Hotel June 20 we're
still out. They retired for delibera-
tion at 5:15 saturday evening.
Shortly before noon the jurors
asked to be released. They minated
and that there was small chance or
them deciding on a verdict.
1t was believed that Judge Morrow
would order the Jury discharged IL
they failed TO reach definite verdict
before night. Judge Morrow, how
ever, declined 10 discuss the matter.
He said he had not decided whether
TO discharge the jury or compel them
to remain until some conclusion was
arrived at. Ahe jury that tried MRS
Kersh the first time disagreed.
Indications were that some OF the
jurymen were holding out for con-
viction OF murder. while Others still
were in favor OF acquittal. 1t was
generally believed that the Jury
would not come to an agreement.
that they were hopelessly disagreed.
Late yesterday afternoon the jury
asked for final Instructions.
When Mrs Kersh was brought in
m the court room for the aacond tins.
yesterday she was in a state OF nery-
Gus collapse. In her cell today she
showed every evidence OF nervous
breakdown. She is SO weak that she
can hardly stand. and spends most OF
her time seated on the edge Of her

any manner or abridged. Until flu
ture legislation shall change them,
the circuit and county courts con-
tinue to exist and to exercise the
same power and jurisdiction in re-
spect to writs OF this character which
they exercised before the adoption
OF the amendment. Section above
quoted (that is OF the amendment)
is clear and distinct on this point.
while section distinctly recog-
nizes the continued existing exist
ence OF the circuit courts By pro-
viding that mo person shall be
charged by any circuit court with
commission OF crime except by in
dictment.'
Writ q Matter of Discretion.
After setting at rest in the above
language the question as TO whether
the circuit and county courts were
abolished by the amendment. JUS
tice Mcbride turns to that portion OF
the amendment which invests the
supreme court With original juris-
diction in habeas corpus. mandamus
and quo warranto proceedings. 1T is
evident" he says, that the trainers
OF the amendment desired to give
the court the widest latitude in the
exercise OF its discretion as Il does
not stop with their discretion but
goes farther and says Gin their own
discretion" After citing authorities
on the subject OF discretion he dis
cusses the intent OF the trainers OF
the amendment. He gives II as hls
opinion that II was never their in
tention to thrust upon the supreme
court the burden OF hearing quo
warranto, mandamus and habeas
corpus proceedings, and submits
that in ruling upon the act several
matters must be taken into consid-
GRAFTON, among other things the con-
gested conditions Of the business OF
the supreme court; as to whether
the defendants have any speedy aud
adequate remedy In the circuit
court. and as TO whether they havo
remedy by appeal. He then pro-
ceeds to state that to thrust those
hearings upon the court would sub
merge II with work, and shows that
the defendants have other remedies
by asking for a correction of the
