Stories OF the Paris Courts.

Among humorous stories of the Par.
Is law courts it is told how a we'll
known lawyer, NJ. Alem Rousseau
was once pleading a rather tiresome
case and, noticing that the judges were
paying no attention to him, said, las
the president is falling asleep | sus.
pend my speech" But the judge had
just woke up and cried, And | sus-
pend you from practicing for six
months" Nothing daunted, the law
yer retorted, "Well, | suspend myself
forever and ever" and, gathering UP
his brief aud cap, he left the court
and never appeared again.
A Paris barrister, NJ. Clery, however,
was more vigorous. Seeing that the
president and the assessors were ali
asleep, he stopped and, dealing a tire
mendous blow on the desk in front Of
him that woke everybody up with a
start, he cried, Yesterday at this same
hour / was saying And the whole
bench rubbed their eyes and asked each
other if they had really slept through
twenty-four hours.
The same counsel was pleading at
Versailles on a cold day and remarked
that the judges were all turning more
and more around toward n stove that
gave out welcome heat "The tribu-
nal behind which | have the honor Of
speaking brought them all right about
face at once.

MIssouRrs NEW LAW.

Missouri is a pioneer OF the states
n legislation looking to the pension
ng OF persons who are left without
aeans OF llvelihod through no fault
If their own.
A new statute adopted by the les
stature of that state provides f0e
he pensionnng of widows by die al
owance of $40 per month. If she has
more than one child the allowance
not to exceed S. per mon.A To-,
ach of the Others, the exact range of
If the allowance to be fixed by the
Juvenile courts.
This law has been construct by
Kansas city Judge to mean that the
mother Of children deprived Of her
natural support shall not be com
PEELED to 90 outside of her home TO
abor, but shall be placed in such
circumstances as will enable her to
are for her home and children while
me latter will have the advantages
of education.
This construction may be rather
road. but that it SHOULD be applied
n a way that will tighten the burden
tpon widowed mothers who are fore,
ID to bring up children and to assis;
hem to make of these children use
'ul and self-upporting citizens IS an
EXCELLENT idea.
Under the law Of our state as we.,
as others it is unlawful to employ
'hildren under fifteen in any
gainful occupations. If this provision
works hardship upon the home, why
should not the state undertake 10 re-
ieye that hardship.

"The Mines Blown Up."

I was sitting on the edge of my bed.
loOsening the heel of one of my rubber
boots with the toe Of the other, when
suddenly through the stiffness of thu
sleeping town, from the power house
half a mile away, came low and ris
ing note, the great siren whistle in the
power house. Almost fascinated,
listened as the great note rose higher
and more shrill and died away again
One blast meant fire in the town, two
blasts fire in the buildings at the mine
and three blasts, the most terrible Of
all. a disaster or trouble In the mine
Once more, after an interminable
pause, the sound came again and once

A Mountain In the Sky.

Somewhere many miles away fro.
this earth an enormous mounta.
twenty miles high is flying through
space. The mountain is known astro
nomically as the planet Eros. The Or
binary man has long taken it 70,
granted that all the planets are more
or less round in shape. The small
planet Eros, however is an exception
to this rule. According TO the --latest
astronomical information, it is merl
mountain in space, without form and
void" and rs 1t turns upon its ayi
first one corner and then another IL
presented to view. These small worlds
few are over ten or twenty miles
across are not large enough to have
sufficient gravity to draw their struc
ture into symmetry and remain a.
when launched into space-mammoth
meteorites. A tantalizing fact for as.
tronomers is that Eros passed very
close to us about Jan. 24 lS94-hefore
the planet was recognized and that
quite so near on approach is not due
again till 1875.

THE BANKsoN VERDICT.

Had the verdict of acquittal in the
Bankson case been rendered by q
jury in the circuit court in Alexander
county one or two years ago. it would
not have caused much surprise among
the people Of this city. The peopl
or Cairo We're used to that sort 0
thing, for they had seen man-killers
and wornan-killers set free in their
court as fast as they could be tried
no matter how atroeious the crime
But the people of Cairo had begun
to feel after many loud and earnest
protests from organized bodies OF
men, and much hard work. that
new leaf had been turned over in
their court house, with the election
of sheriff whose ideas Of official
duty extended beyond tax collecting
and the elimination of corrupt meth
DDS in criminal trials in their circuit
court. The result in@the Hackney
murder case. in which all concerned,
frcm judge down to bailiffg seemed
moved only by desire to do their
duty as officers of the law, tended
strongly to restore public confidence
in the ability and purpose of the
authorities to administer the law
Clearly and efficiently, for the sake
of justice and for the protection OF
society
Hence the people of Cairo would
not have been prepared for yer.
dict of acquittal in the Bankson case
even from a jury in this county; and
they were much less prepared for it
coming from jury in Union county
where, it was assumed, the trial jury
would not be influenced by conditions
and feelings in Cairo, either for or
against the defendant The contrary
Of this seems TO have been true, if
reports can be accepted and If the
addresses by the attorneys for the
defense before the jury meant any
thing. One may almost declare that
Bankson was not a trial at all, and
that the killing of Officer French was
a trihing circumstance hardly worth
considering in connection with the
case. that the real culprit and pris-
oner at the bar was the police depart
ment Of Cairo-and it was found
guilty.
The Bulletin is hardly in a posi-
ton, nor is II at all inclined, to de-
fend the police department of Cairo
in its general conduct and character
up to the recent past. 1t has had it's
say about the misconduct Of some OF
the men who composed and dominat-
cd the department during the time
Of It's blacklist record, and II has no
doubt that some of the victims Of
this misconduct reside in Union
county, as we'll as in other counties
In this and the adjoining states. It
Is true also, no doubt, that some of
the men who feel that they have a
grievance against the Cairo police
department are of the class who come
