Testimony of the Blind,

Before the trial was half ended II
was apparent that most credence was
placed In the testimony for the de
PENDANT.
THAT is because he has two blind
men testifying for him." said a man
who has served s>on many juries.
When it comes to a question Of men,
DRY the word of blind man goes
further in a courtroom than that of a
person with good eyes. 1t Is with the
iurymen that his testimony really
counts, but the Judge and lawyers are
also impressed. This Is taking into
consideration, of course, that the blind
man has a reputation for veracity.
We assume that with the loss of one
faculty others have developed. What
q man cannot see he hears, and his
mind stores up. Our faith in the re-
tentiveness of blind mans memory
has been frequently justified. Where
a person with all his senses would be.
come confused and testify vaguely,
the blind man can repeat a conversa'
ton verbatim"

PROTEST AGAINST BUILDING.
Structure Built for School Purposes
Situated in Section Affected

Stanton, Va, July 23.-Staunton

state more or less acute over the pro-
posed use next session of school
building situated on the edge OF the
section affected by the cavern of two
fears ago. There was no caving un-
Ter the building, but the edge of the
cave-in was about forty feet away.
There was, however, slight lateral
slipping Of the surface which caused
crack in the walls, but the building
vas inappreciably affected. Before

we're driven and deep concrete foun-
lation OH top of them constructed and

he -cave-in, which was long ago
;rched over from solid rock and filled

distinguished construction engineer,
md under his direction borings were
made only few feet apart all around
he building, and solid rock was struck
1t varying depths, mostly at an aver
,ge of about twenty-five feet. He
pronounced the building perfectly
safe, advising certain things to be
lone to make it doubly safe. Other
engineers of repute have given the
;ame advice. The city has made the
additions directed, and is preparing
o use the building the coming fall for
he high school. 1t was formerly used
" the primary department. The
Workingmen's Fraternal Association
ONE months ago started an agitation
against the use of the building and
occurred signatures of protest against
It's use of large majority OF the
parents whose children would use the
building, but the school board has paid
10 attention to it, deeming the aglta-

get much satisfaction out Of me. Any

establishments In the City Of London,
England, Is In Enjoyment of
Unique Privilege.

A time-honored London (Eng) city
tavern, the Castle, at the corner Of
Cowcross street, facing Harrington
street, enjoys the unique distinction
of being also fully licensed pledge
shop. Over the door In the bar, which
gives access to the landlords private
room, and thrown into bold relief by
the official document behind It, the
historic three-sphered symbol Is dis
cernible. Any one may here nego-
tiate loan upon his personal belong
ings without being under the neces-
sity OF first calling for refrshment.
Formerly the house had special
pledge counter resembling the modern
Bottle and Jug department, but this
is no longer in evidence.
This strange combination of bust
ness dates from the reign of George
", who, after attending a cock fight
ut Hockley-in-the-Hole, applied to the
landlord of the Castle for temporary
accommodation on the security Of his
watch and chain. BY royal warrant a
few days later he invested that oblig-
ing boniface with the right of adj
vancing money on pledges, and from
that time down to the present a
pawnbroker's license has been annual
ly granted to the Castle. This hostel
~ is mentioned once or twice by
Dickens In his novels.

AN AMERICAN HABIT.

A Chicago doctor counts speed In
eating as the cause Of many Of the
bodily disorders from which people
suffer, particularly in the business
world Quick lunches, the hasty bolt
ing Of food chosen because it Is IN
sight and the rushing back to work
without thought for the abused d.
gestive organs, can only result, he de-
clares, In physical condition that In
fvites diseases in variety. He Is un-
questionably right, says the Indianap-
oils Star. American people really
care little about what they eat-thls
in spite Of the fact that they possess
hotels and restaurants in which all
the luxuries of the world are served
and markets which supply q wonder
full variety Of products. Notwithstand-
ing what is open to them. as a class
they are not fastidious as to quality.
They have their preferences in foods,
of course, but II what they especially
care for Is not Immediately available,
they accept what is at hand, gulp 1t
down, dash OF and forget within ten
minutes what 1t was they ate. Quick
lunch" places are an institution OF the
time In the business district in all
cities and have an enormous patron
age. They came In response to de-
mand. The managers are not to
blame because their patrons insist
upon eating in the shortest possible
time, nor is the food they serve nee
essarily at fault.
