Chicago, aug. 27.--The first womer
jury in Cook county. except those
hearing insanity cases, yesterday gave
Prosecuting Attorney William r.
Morse, of oak Park, a few lessons in
the conduct of his Office.
The jury women were called to try
a neighborhood case. While waiting

home.
Mrs. w. J. Woomis, foreman of the

Il understood it is no part of the
duty of the prosecuting attorney to IN

tuition.

I"As to armed intervention" he added

battles"
Governor Colquitt of Texas who has
been a severe critic of the national

the United States would not be justi-
fed in Intervention, except under the
absolute necessity of protecting its
own citizens"
Governor Spry, Utah, said: "It il,
easy to tell American citizens to get
)ut Of Mexico. None of us want to
zee war, and personally, do not think
he whole of Mexico is worth the lives
