Description of christ.-The following
beautiful description Of our Savior Is
said to have been found in manuscript
written by Lucius Lentulus, president
of Judea, to the Roman senate, and Is
we'll worthy Of preservation by those
who are His followers at the present
time:
There is at present man in Judea
of a singular character, whose name
Is Jesus Christ. The Barbarians es-
TEEN him as prophet, but his fol-
lowers adore him as the immediate
offspring of the immortal God. He
is endowed with such unparalleled
virtue as to call back the dead from
the grave and heal every kind or dis
ease with a word or touch. His per-
son is tall and elegantly shaped, his
aspect mild and reserved. The hair
flows in those beautiful shades which
no united colors can match, falling
into graceful curls below his ears,
agreeably touching on his shoulders
and parting on the crown Of his head
like the head-dress Of the NaZarines.
His forehead is smooth and large;
his cheeks, without spot, are OF a
lovely red; his mouth and nose are
finished with exquisite symmetry; his
beard is thick and suitable to the COL
or of his hair, reaching a little below
his chin and parting in the middle like
fork; his eyes are large. bright and
serene. He rebukes with mildness
and invites with the most persuasive
language.
| His whole address, whether In
word or deeds, being elegant, grave
and strictly characteristic Of an ex'
alted being. No man has ever seer
him laugh, but the whole world be-
held him weep and so persuasive are
his tears that one cannot refrain from
Joining in sympathy with him. He IL
modest, temperate and wise; anc
whatever the phenomenon may turf
out in the end, he seems a being o.
| excellent beauty and Divine perfec'
tion-in every respect SURPRISING tht

er and harder every year to convict o
defendant so 1t will stand.
It costs lot Of money to convict
a rich criminal, even when the case is
plain: so much that 1t may some day
before long become q question for se-
rious consideration whether It is
worth the money" Hence It Ii q for
tunate thing, from one point Of view
at least, that the majority Of persons
brought before the courts for trial are
poor men. and therefore unable to-
spin out their trials to such length and
at so much expense to the suffering
public. It may be a question whether
the poorer class Is more criminal than.
the richer; but there Is no question
that this is lucky fact. considering
the matter solely from the standpoint
Of public expense. ~ iJJs
Just think of the cost to Fulton
county, Georgia, Of the trial Of Leo
Frank. 1t looks like q plain case; by
which mean. 1t looks like case In
which all testimony that could posst-
bly, bear on 1t could be presented In
the course Of q single day at furthest;
but it has been going on for weeka
The case Of Harry K. Thaw, according
to the estimate Of the New York dis
trict attorney. cost the county Of Kings
a million dollars; and the end u not

rich man; and when he Is tried the
chances are that he finally goes free.

WILSON TARIFF BILL.
Democratic Measure Goes Through by

Democratic Measure Goes Through by
Vote Of a to 81.
Washington, Sept. 9.-The Demo-
cratic tariff revision bill passed the
senate at 5.43 o'clock this afternoon
amid a burst Of applause that swept
down from crowded galleries and
found its echo on the crowded floor
Of the senate. Its passage was at
tended with surprises in the final mo-
ments of the voting when Senator La
Toilette (Republican) cast his vote
with the Democrats and was Joined a
few moments later by Senator Poin-
dexter progressively.
Until the names Of Senators La Fol-
lette and Poindexter were called no
one knew definitely the stand they
would take and their votes were
greeted with applause.
President Wilson tonight expressed
great qualification over the end Of the
long struggle in the senate. Senator
Simmons, chairman Of the finance
committee, who piloted the bill
through the finance committee, the
Democratic caucus and the senate
predicted its passage would bring i'm
mediate stimulus to the commercial
life of the country.
AS it passed the senate, the tariff
bill represents an average reduction
of more than per cent from the
rates of the original bill that passed
the house and nearly % per cent
from the rates Of existing laws.
In many important places the SEN
ate has changed the bill that passed
the house and a conference commit.
tee of the two houses will begin work
ing Wednesday or Thursday to adjus
differences. Leaders Of both houses
predict that the conference will con
sumo less than two weeks time.
| The senate named its members o.
the conference committee as soon al
the bill passed.
Vice President Marshall appointed
Senators Simmons, Stone, William
and Johnson (Democrats) and Sena
tors Penrose, Lodge and La Follett
| (Republicans).
| Senator Stone withdrew from tn
committee and Senator Shively wa
appointed in his place. The house con
ferees, it was reported tonight, will
be Representatives Underwood, Kitch
in and Rainey (Democrats) and Payn
and Fordney (Republicans).
The final struggle began at 4 o'clocl
when, under a previous agreement
votes began on the pending amend
ments. During the closing hours
debate Senator La Toilette had be
come the centre of interest, proposin
final amendments on the cotton an
agricultural schedules and discussin
some features of the bill he deeme
favorable. 1t was nearly $50 o'cloc
when the vice president put the bi
upon its passage.
The roll call proceeded deliberatel
until the clerk called LA Toilette.
The Wisconsin senator seated In tn
front row, hesitated a moment. HI

That Have Been Made.

Some Of the More Important Changes
That Have Been Made.
The tariff bill as it passed the senate
last Tuesday, retained the principal

rubbed his stomach-"Dat bisque-"
But they had turned away to listen
to Wiley Curran.
"That crucifix, Mrs. Lindstorm? &?
Might I take it and have 1t cleaned

from all Of you-with love from all
Of you? She's such a great lady

She looked at Uncle Mich. His
face grew tender. "I reckon. I
wouldn't let anybody but you take it,

and chain. But you-I reckon you
can, Mr.. Wiley!"
Wiley turned back to the table.
The chain lay there. But when he
lifted 1t the silver cross was missing.
He looked about; then on the floor.
Its gone? The crucifix!"
The boys were searching In the
rag carpet rugs. Curran looked about
again, at all Of them-then at Maui
rice Ladeau. He was rubbing his
hands with his old slovenly card

you picked 1t up!"
"Merci! I been thief den? Fo'
picayune bit of silver! sho' never

They looked about, under the bed
and the dresser. But nothing was
found. Michigan stumped out and
crawled under the house to make
sure 1t had not gone through some
crack.
| "Uone been curious!" He came back
and set his shaggy brows hard on
John and then Ladeau. But you
take the chain, Mr.. Wiley. Mebbe
| we'll find the little cross"
Curran was annoyed. "Ill get a
new crucifix put on, Uncle Mich. Then
I'll write Aurelie. But it's curious!"
He went home and, sitting in the
shop, took out the chain to muse over
It. Done come up-river!" He smil-
ed and held 1t off toward the light
God bless you. Uncle Mich! You
and your little girl! Done come up

land of joy!"

the door to 60 to the cottage, ne
heard a roaring of to the west. AT
first faint, then growing as the train
sped through the uplands' cut and
reached the Earlville yards. In the
News shop door, Mr.. Curran listened
holding still the rosary against his
cheek where her own baby lips had
kissed 1t.
Then with his old fancy he waved
1t toward the east. Because you're
there. Aurelie-just because you're
there"
And a sudden impulse seized him
He was wont to do things on uncon-
sidered impulses. He had an appoint
ment with the Honorable T. P. Pur-
cell, his political manager. the next

j growled: Congress be damned"
Then he whirled and dashed
through the shop, up to his cottage
and into his bedroom. Aunt ABBY
was snoring, as he crammed collars
and brushes and ties and slippers In
to a suit case, and then dashed ou
again and over the fence with the
lightness Of a boy. He forgot tt
close the door. He scattered toile
articles from High street to the juno

THE RICH AND CRIME
Pay No Penalty If They are Willing to
Paw LAWYERS.

Pay No Penalty 1t They are Wiling 20
Pay Lawyers.
No age nor station is without Its he
roes, and none without It's criminals.
One reason crime is more to be de-
plored among the rich than among the
poor is that 1t costs so much more. II
there should be a great deal Of crime
among the rich, mean Of the sort
that is taken into court, the states
would be bankrupted in trying them.
To try a rich man costs thousands OF
dollars to the county in which the trial
takes place. Any sort Of q trial is an
expensive proposition; but when a de-
fendant has lots Of money 1t Is big
undertaking. His money buys high
priced lawyers, who know every trick
and turn Of legal procedure, making
It very hard to convict in the plainest
sort of cases. They know how to pull
the wool over the eyes, Of jurors and
to divert the attention from the main
issue, which is the guilt or innocence
of the defendant, and bring in all sorts
Of side issues which are really OF no
consequence except to befuddle the
Jury. Hundreds Of witnesses are sworn
and testify to things that, to the aver
age lay mind, do not seem to have the
slightest bearing on the case. And yet
the Judge on the bench seems to De
helpless and sits like a knot on log
while the lawyers wander all over Gre
alton. Hundreds Of witnesses are
sworn and volumes Of alleged testi-
mony are taken in cases where II
would look to the common mind that
half day would suffice to sift the en-
tire matter from top to bottom and to
arrive at the absolute truth OF the
matter; and it would in the case OF
poor fellow on trial. Days and weeks
and sometimes months, are required
| to try a case, the expense to the peo-
ple piling up tremendously all the
while: and the minds Of the jurors get
so befogged with side issues and teen
nicalities that they hardly know their
own names. Lawyers abuse witnesses
and sometimes one another-but in
pickwickian sense generally" and the
lawyers for the defense lambast the
| prosecution. Contests of wit take
place between opposing counsel; ano
so the case drags its slow length along
till the enormity Of the crime Is Tor
gotten in the great mass OF extrane'
GUS rubbish that is brought into tne
case. Cases are spun out so long tha'
q man of business often suffers very
serious loss when he has to SIT on tne
Jury; hence business men, who wouio
make the best jurors, resort TO every
means possible to get excused IRON
Jury duty, and thus often leave the
most important cases to men who are
glad to serve for the sake Of the pei
diem.
But why does the Judge allow III
why. indeed. Chiefly because back ol
him sits a supreme court ready to triI
him I'D and send back the case be-
cause of some small deviation from
the strict legal technicality Of the pro-
ceedings, and give the defendant
new trial, with all the horrible details
to be rehearsed again in a new trial
