Jeremiah Patton returned to S..
Louis on that very evening. and l fol-
lowed the order OF subsequent even s
in the newspapers OF that city. Tie
Federal court was at that time open
Ing its session. An indictment was
found. Patton's attorneys demurred
to this indictment This demurrer
was overruled. They then demanded
an immediate trial, and the court or
dered the case to q Jury. Two weexa
were consumed In the examination OF
talesmen; new panels were obtained
and almost wholly rejected It seemed
that every man in the city had con
ceived an opinion against the prisoner
Finally a curious L, edley OF Jurors was
secured. and tho government began
the introduction OF its testimony.
Up to this time, Mason had done
nothing. Now he sent for Jacob Sol
meyer, a lawyer OF considerable prora-
inence. and explained to him what re
was to do. know in detail how Sol
meyer carried out his instruction.:
He went at once to st. Louis and

doring to effect q consolidation OF Il

west into one gigantic company with a
hundred million dollar capitalization,
under the laws Of New Jersey; that
the matter was still in an early, for
native state. The bankers who were
to furnish the large sums necessary
to purchase such plants as would not
voluntarily como into the trust, feared
that some unfriendly district attorney
might attempt to bring the matter in
to court. and thereby affect tho bonds
OF this syndicate, which they would
hold as their security. II, however,

strenuously resisted by the counsel for
jeremiah Patton. They offered a for
NAL objection for the prisoner. which
was overruled, and the exception was
entered on the record. The Judge dis
charged the Jury, ordered a new panel
and took up the trial OF some petty
revenue cases, the assistant district
attorney appearing for the govern
ment.
Stetheimer explained the meaning
OF this continuahce to the public by
coveruy suggesting the story told to
the Judge. The public was appeased
with the promise Of more and promin-
ent victims, and the district attorney
stood justified in the conduct of his
case. Moreover. his reputation for

before the public eye. He must find
some other way.

tunity to meet tho bankers IN New

ed that he had just discovered q posi-

before he cross-eXamiEed jeremiah

finally that. II these were the facts,
he would direct q continuance upon

Stetheimer went then to the attor-
neys for Jeremiah Patton. He said to
them that his wife was nj, threatened
with appendicitis. It was thought; that
he wished to take her at once to Phil
adelphia; that he would probably be
required to remain there during the
operation and the convalescence of tho
patient, and requested them to consent
to postponement OF the case until
the following term. The attorneys
courteously expressed their regret,
but replied that this was a criminal
trial, and that they could not consent
TO any order, no matter what. Still.
they could not see how their client
would be prejudiced by such q con.

SHOWING NEED OF POVERTY
Writer Points Out How lts HanIsh1
ment Would Affect Certain
Classes Of People. I

Poverty has been designed by an
.ALl-Seeing Providence in order to
make the rich humble. Without
poverty the rich would not know
how well off they were, and if they
did not know this, they would hava
no opportunity to sympathize with
the poor; thus, no condition Of hui
miGty would be possible. y
Poverty is also useful in many
other ways; it enables sociologists
to write books, and, by constant.
practice, gives them remarkable ia
cllity; it affords splendid field for
the theologian, and helps him very
much in his illustrations.
Poverty helps government; for
WITHOUT government there would be.
no political parties, and political
parties could not exist without pov-
erty, as there would be no votes to
buy.
Poverty is necessary to produce
sentiment. If there were no poy-
orty, sentiment would go begging. 1t
would then have to be expended ex-
clusively on members of the oppo-
site sex, as a rule, they don't need
it, except when they also need money.
Poverty is considered unnecessary
by some, but that is only because
they do not understand. Without
poverty there would be nothing to
live for, nobody to be sorry about,
and no one to witness our comfort.

colts Magazine.

was looked upon a. an intolerable
scoundrel who had wrecked the bank
OF which he was president, and looted
his depositors by borrowing on worth
less securities great gums for com
pany which he owned.
On Saturday afternoon, the dis,
trict attorney closed for the govern
ment and rested his case, On the fol-
lowing Sunday Jacob solmeyer tele-
gTaphed the district attorney that
there would be meeting OF the bank
ers on Tuesday evening, and to como

OF great banking houses ia Europe and
could not await any mans convent
ence; that tho district attorney must
attend the meeting, or return tho 70,
