Despite the fact that six alienists
declared Joseph G. Robin, the de-
faulting New York banker, insane, the
jury returned verdict that he was
not insane. This angered William
Travers Jerome, attorney for Robin,
but the trial judge complimented the
jurors for their horse sense. We pre-
sumo that if hundred alienists had
been called by the defense they would
all have given similar testimony.
Expert testimony is a farce-if an
expert is hired by the defense he in
variably testi6es in it's behalf, if by
the prosecution his testimony is in
favor of that side. Expert Witnesses
should be selected by the trial Judge.

THE PRINCETO 81 UNION

Rev. Pierce, pastor 81 the
Central Baptist church Of Mime
apolis, is, quoted as saying: lTen
thousand citizens il Minneabolis
should arm themselves and shoot
down any man on the streets at light
who can not give q good account Of.
himself. There is more crime in Min
neapolis now than in Chicago duEing
the world 8 fair" +" Probably bitter
scheme would be for the people OF
Minneapolis to petition President Taft
to place the city under martial law.
The stationing of a regiment or 1.-TWO
of soldiers there at the city's .exbnse
would probably have the deired
effect and also teach the municipal
authorities a lesson. The situation
certainly demands that &. dir lstic
measures be taken. It is scacely
safe, if the daily papers tell the tiuth,
for anyone at the present time to walk
on the streets of Minneapolis ether
day or night. -a" d

Press dispatches say that the
Brotherhood of American Hoboes is
holding it's annual convention in Mil
waukee and that Seidel, the socialist
mayor of that city, delivered an ad-
dress of welcome to a thousand or
more of the uncombed, unwashed and
unkempt. Whether he is furnishing
them free beer is not stated in the
but VIC presume tt1utt- no is.
At any rate the mere fact that he en-
couraged these tramps to hold their
convention in Milwaukee shows the
sort of man he is. He should be
king of the hoboes-not mayor of a
civilized community. But, upon
second thought, is it civilized?

BIRTH OF A WING.
Evolution of the Aquatic Pupa Into tho
DRAGON Ely. =.

Dragon Fly. 3r
Says a writer in the Scientific Amer
lean: "a wonderful spectacle is pre-
sented by the sudden apparition Of
an insects wing at the completicn of
its metamCrphosis. The transfcrma-
ton of the grub into the butterfly,
though familiar, is none the less amaz-
ing, but the evolution Of the active and
gossamer winged dragon fly from its
ugly and sluggish aquatic pupa Isl still
more impressive. EARLY on May II horn-
ing the pupa energies from it's cocoon
at the bottom of q ditch, sWims on it's
back by padding with it's long haired
paws to the stem of an aquatic plant
and climbs up out of the water. Then,
after a momentary pause, the skin
suddenly bursts open and the perfect
insect appears, with closely folded
wings, which soon unfold and assume
their final form.
"The older naturalists thought that
the insect swallowed air. with which
the wings were inflated. In reality
the air is. absorbed in the digestive
organs, causing an increased, blood
pressure. which mechanically expands
the wings. The presence Of dew is
also necessary. hence the first flight Il; IS s!
always made at dawn. i
"' s"This spectacle of the BIRTH Of
wing NAV he observed in dragon flies
reared! in an .1eluarium, the :atmos-
nbere ,,esof,t ,twhich should be moistened
with an atomizer when: the: pupa rises
to the surface" /

DR.. Pantchenko, who was arrested
in St. Petersburg for murder, ad-
mitted that he was q specialist en-
gagged in shutting people of this
mortal coil for a consideration, and
alleges that it vas at the instigation
of obrien de Lassy that he put to
sleep for all eternity Obrien's
brother-in-law, Count Vassili Boutur-
lin. That Russian doctor was en-
gagged in such nefarious practices
does not surprise us in the least, but
it is hard to believe that he was aided
and abetted by an Obrien even though
he has a foreign tail to his name.

While the censorship exercised over
press dispatches from Mexico at this
time precludes the possibility of OBJ
tanning details of the insurrection in
that country, sufficient information
has crossed the line to show that the
republic throughout is in greatly
perturbed condition-that bands of
insurrectos are burning railroad
bridges and villages and have de-
feated the government troops in a
number of engagements. That "Diaz
the despot,'' as he is called by the in
surrectos, will eventually be deposed,
is the opinion of those familiar with
the situation.

The Seal That Is So Often Used on

legal business is the little piece of red,
green or Due paper or daub of sealing
wax which we often place at the end
Of q signature to a deed. will or other

1t is Il very small thing in size, but
one to which great deal Of impOr-
lance is frequently given. 1t is a relic
of antiquity, and no plausible excuse
can be invented for continuing its use.
Some of the more progressive states
have practically abolished it's use by
legislation. which deprives it Of any
technical legal significance: In others.
however, it is still used with all Sc

Centralizing concerns won victory
over cooperative creameries last
week when the Interstate commerce
commission ordered that railroad and
express companies shall, from and
after April l, 1911, reduce the rate
for transportation of cream in cans
between points within $40 miles of St.
Paul. The commission declared the
prices now charged to be excessive
and unreasonable. An impression
has for a long time prevailed in the
rural districts that the rate should be
raised instead of lowered. Is the in

An association has been organized
by number of New York young
ladies which has adopted the name
of the "American Girls for America'
society, and it's purpose is to prevent
marriages between American women
of wealth and titled paupers of
Europe. In letter which the society
recently wrote to Lord Decies they
called him cad and told him that his
wedding with the Gould girl would
not be permitted to take place even
though it were necessary to use vio-
lence to prevent it. sour forefathers
gave their lives freely to rid this
country. OF such as you and your sort
stand for," said the letter, ssand we,
the American Girls for America, are
just as willing to pay even such a
cost If need be in order that a re-
newed spirit OF Americanism may be
born and our rich American fathers
can be brought to their senses. We
propose making this movement for
the exclusion of titled paupers ma

Legend OF, Holyrood Palace.

+. Holyrood, palace, Edinburgh, Scot
land, once a British royal residence, is
the subject of a strange legend. Rob
ert Louis Stevenson alludes to it in his
little book on Edinburgh. .sThere is a
silly story he writes, ''of a subterra-
mean passage between the castle of
'Holyrood and bold highland piper
who volunteered to explore it's wind

rious footed it after him down the
street, following his descent by the
sound of the chanter from below, until
all of sudden, about the level of st.
Giles, the music came abruptly to an
end and the people in the street stood
at fault with hands uplifted. Whether
he was choked with gases or perished
in a quag or was removed bodily by
the evil one remains a point of doubt,

Andrew Carnegie is said to oppose
the forti6cation of the Panama canal.
We take it that Andrews aim is to
promote peace, but to leave the canal
unforti6ed would invite war. The
forti6cation of the canal would be a
mere business precaution. The
United States owns an immense prop
erty on the isthmus, created by an
outlay of millions of dollars, and the
only question is whether it desires to
insure that property against perils
which are known to exist.

COWBOYS OF SPAIN,


Their Spurs Without Mercy.
The perfection of Spanish horseman-
ship is to be seen among the vaqueros,
ganaderos and garrochistas, by which
various names the mounted herdsmen
of the Andalusian plains are known.
IN brief, what we should call a cow
boy. Every farm seems to maintainSa
large number of these, for each herd,
flock or drove has it's own herdsman,
goatherd or swineherd, as the case
may be. The vaQueros are a fine look
ing lot of men. Tall, thin, light and
loosely made, they look. ideal horse
men, as, in point Of fact, they are,
though their mounts are poor.
The vaquero rides very high On
huge saddle, with long stirrup land
straight leg, using a single rein and
very heavy curb, but he has such
beautiful hands that, although using
this barbarous bit, he never cuts his
-horeyo mouth- -nbont.-It is different
with the animals sides, however. for
he uses his spurs without mercy, land
the white horses-of which there are a
large number-all have ominous red
stains behind the girths.
All the herdsmen who look after
cattle carry long lance, called a gar
rocha, of thick and heavy wood, which,
except when standing still, they al
ways carry Gin rest'' and not cat the
carry" presumably on account of it's
great length and possibly it's weight.
With this weapon, in the use of which
he acquires amazing dexterity, the
garrochista is able to control the most
unruly brutes in the herd, not except
ing the savage fighting bull.-Wide

the limit, of the strength of the coali-

George Westinghouse has invented
a device to lessen the danger of COL
lisions at sea. The contrivance is
very simple, consisting of a small
lever on the bridge of a vessel by
means of which the engines can be
instantly reversed. Heretofore it
was necessary, before the engines
could be reversed, to communicate
with the engineer by means of an elec-
trio bell, and while this consumed but
few moments, those moments were
precious in the face OF an impending
