QUIET DAY IN
 THE DARROW TRIAL

los Angeles. Cal.

J. Coon ~ who took the stand today in the trial of f,Iarance $ Darrow for jury bribery
 The defense made a determined but futile effort to prevent Cooney from tes- tifying to facts other than those directly hearing on the Lockwood case, on which Darrow is now being tried. The adverse r,ling by Judge Hutton admits any evi- dence tending to show alleged corrup- ton of witnesses called In the McNa- mara case.

Distracting Power of Prayer

From the Atlantic Monthly.
 It is interesting to follow the deYelop- ment of long prayer-especially if one be a member of little community and understand the alusions. | confess that I have not seldom set Up suddenly in my pew at home, and looked at our minister breathess. What was he going 10 say next2 That sort of thing Is exciting. So are the obviously particular references to which one has no clue, such as an al fusion to an affiction which happened at 10:30 last night, and has not yet had time to become generally known, Episodes like the latter have power to stir whole congregation and set people signaling oue another all over the church. Do you know what he meant?" 'No." Dear me! perhaps '--"But 1 saw her this morning" Only the most guileessly dis interested pastor ever allows himself to produce such an effect on his congrega- ton; 1t works havoc with the attention due and desired by his sermon.

The Worlds Debt for War

The war debt of the world for borrowed money, practically all used for war pur- poses, amounts to nearly S37,o0o0o0,000 This sum is expressed in the Endless Caravan of Ciphers.h which carries no meaning to the average taxpayer until he feels it's pressure in the rising cost of living and in his own, difficulties in mak- ing both ends meet The interest charges of the world on it's national bonded debt are about Sl.5O0,o ,o0O,00o a year, and about S2. .5e0, 1000 is expended yearly on stand- ing armies and on brttleships
 If We were to sell out the entire hold- ings Of the United States, capitalize the returns and put the whole sum at in- terest at per cent, 1t would just about keep up the military expenses of the world in time of peace.

IT is reported that Ely has a new
Sunday lid. 1t is also said that
it is not of the newest and most
modern kind but that it is worn
only half day or during the time
of morning church services. The
Miner has no hesitancy in saying
that people who put in the whole
week at work are entitled to take
a drink Sundays if they want it
but we rise to remark that saloons
should be closed at II o'clock each
and every night. The saloon man
would be benefited as we'll as the
morals of the people. A sober man
should be home at II O'Clock and a
load" should also be there at this
time. All the deviltry takes place
after that hour
