One Now Rising Against Ger
many in England
OVER TRIAL OF BRIT0N
Sentencing of Bertrand Stewart, Lon
don Lawyer, by German Court as
as Spy on Criminals Evidence
Heard in Secret.

London, Feb. There is a rising tide
OF anger throughout England over the
sentence to three and half years con
finement in fortress passed by the
German imperial court at Leipsic upon
Bertrand Stewart, a prominent London
lawyer. ON a charge of espionage.
The feeling aroused promises to give
the affair an Importance second only to
that of the Dreyfus case in France.
The grave difference is that inter
national instead of racial passions are
now aroused and there is pos5ibil-
ity that the incident will prove to be
the last straw in the long aecumulat-
ing burden of AngloGerman hostility.
The fact cannot be overlooked that
newspapers representing both of the
glcat political parties are clamorous for
the government to act in Stewards be-
half. The matter will be brought up
in the house of commons in a very
energetic manner as soon as parliament
meets. unless something is done by the
government in the meantime.
British feeling has been inhamed about
tho affair because the trial took place
mostly in secret. The only witness
against Stewart was Belgian, who is
1eputed to be a professional spy and is
known to have served terms in prison.
The theory here is that the Belgian en-
trapped Stewart for the purpose of get
ting paid for turning informer.
Bertrand Stewart is a lawyer of the
highest standing and of the best family
The Pail Mall Gazette yesterday aft
ernoon made a passionate appeal to the
British people never to rest until JUS
tice has been done Other papers con-
trast the trial of Stewart with the
open procedure of the English courts of
Justice against a German charged with

B. R. Tillman, Jr., to the allegations
of his former wife that he had
been seen in a drunken condition

testimony afidavits from numbers OF
persons who were with him, both on
the train and in Augusta on the day
in question, which they all testified
to his being sober and not having
taken a drop Of liquor. Senator and
Mrs. Tillman and his sister, Mrs.
Iona Moore, who was at that time
visiting her parents, all made af6-
davits that he was sober a. that time,

sion Of the case, announced that the

Discredited Billboards.

When circus men go back on bill
boards, it marks the beginning Of the
end of that form of advertising. The
travelling circus initiated billboards,
and in turning from them to newspa-
pers the circus advertiser inaugu-
rated a departure from a tradition
and custom which have unquestion-
ably built up many fortune. While
still a novelty, billboards told story,
and were effective. But in their
rapid multiplication they no longer
make the impression they once did.
Newspapers give immediate results.
They reach the class of people you
want to interest. Where one person
read newspapers and magazines 80
years ago, hundreds read them now.
1t is to the papers every one goes to
find the record of births, deaths, mar
riages, weather predictions, Wall
street reports, sermons, prize fights,
and everything else that is going on
in the world. The circus man flg-
ures correctly that SO per cent. OF
the people will look in the same
place to see about the coming of the

Keeping Warm With Ice.

This seems turning ordinary usage
upside down, but the process IS
simple enough. 1t consists in the
furnishing of a double-lined car with
four galvanized iron cylinders reach
ing from the floor almost to the top.
In summer these cylinders are kept
filled with ice and salt in order that
the car may be maintained at a cool
temperature; in winter they are fill
ed with ice in order to keep the con-
tents of the car from freezing.
Ice is nominally at a temperature
of 80 degrees Fahrenheit, and it is a
substance that changes it's temper
ature reluctantly, being bad con-
ductor of heat or cold. Consequent
ly, when zero weather prevails with
out, the cylinders of relatively warm
ice prevent the escape of heat; IN
other words, so it is claimed, they
maintain the temperature within the
car.
Still another device whereby ice is
employed for protection against cold
consists in throwing upon the car,
when the weather is near the zero
point, a plentiful stream of water,
which, freezing at once, forms a
complete coat over the car. The ac-
ton of the ice is said to be the same
as in the other case.

CENTENARY OF THE TROUSER.
1t Was Napoleon's Legions Who
Brought Garment Into Fashion.

AS nearly as can be ascertained it
is hundred years since Napoleon
Bonaparte's soldiers introduced the
old-new style of leg wear which
speedily secured recognition as the
.distinctively masculine garment of
civilians throughout two continents.
In 1S14-the year before Water
Loot was related as current
news item of some Importance that
the great duke of Wellington had
been refused admittance to Almack' 8
in London, because he presented him.
self wearing trousers instead of the
conventional breeches which the
dress regulations then in vogue de-
manded, says the American Tailor
and Cutter.
AS matter Of historical fact
trousers have been worn by various
races and by both sexes in all the
ages of which any authentic records
exist. Generally speaking, trousers
were regarded in ancient times as
symbolical of inferiority of effem-
macy. In the triumphal professions
of the Caesars, for example, prisoners
of war wore them as sign of de-
feat, while the sturdy legs of Rome's
victorius legions were bare below the
bottom of the skirted or killed coat
of mail.
For the last hundred years or
thereabeut trousers have been wide
ly recognized as the garments of au-
thority, the outward and visible sign
of the stronger sex. But that posi-
ton has not been won or maintained
without struggle. Many attempts
have been made to trample down the
tyranny of trousers, as their rule has
been called; many times has their su-
periority been challenged. But sc
far their position remains secure.

Infant Snobbery.

Too often the idea of service is as
sociated solely with paid servants, al
though seldom so amusingly as in the
case of little girl of whom a con-
tributor to the English illustrated
Magazine tells.
She had visited a little friend
whose family did their own house
work. She had very good time,
and on coming home was telling her
mother all about it.
But, mother dear, they do one
very dreadful thing she concluded.
Il hate to tell you about it, for it is
kind of cruel and you mightn't let
me go again"
Tell me- urged her mother in
somesalarm.
They use their own grandmother
for a cook" the little girl replied in
a shocked whisper.

YOUNG THIEF GIVEN TWO YEARS
Pensacola Bank Clerk Pleads Guilty
to Stealing 500, 900 in Currency.

Pensacola, Fla, Nov. 29.-William
Bell, until few weeks ago a trusted
young clerk in the First National
bank of Pensacola, to-day pleaded
guilty in the United States court to
the theft of $4,000 from the bank
Septmber s. Judge Sheppard sen
fenced him to two years in the fed
eral reformatory school at Washing
ton.
The 1S-year-old bank clerk engi-
neered one of the shredwest robberies
in recent bank history and was not
under suspicion when, conscience
stricken, he returned the money. In
broad daylight, in the presence of
score of other employees in the bank,
young Bell succeeded in exchanging
a bogus package for package con-
tanning $4,000 which had been pre-
pared for shipment by express. He
succeeded in secreting the valuable
package in the bank until that night
when he just as adroitly removed it
to his home, where it again found
a hiding place.
Scores of detectives were employed
on the case and had found no def
mite clew when, on the morning OF
September %, almost one week after
the robbery, the old negro janitor OF
the bank found the $4,000 wrapped
up in a newspaper lying against the
iron grating of the rear door of the
bank, where Bell had placed it. His
confession followed the next day.
Because of his youth and his pre-
vious good conduct, Judge Sheppard
imposed the lightest sentence posi-
