The effective administration Of
our laws depends in the last analysis
upon the quality Of the juries. their
personal characteristics, their intel
ligence, decency, moral courage and
general fitness as good citizens.
The many abortions in the shape of
fury verdicts which disgrace our
courts, are due almost exclusively to
the absence of character, courage
and intelligence in those who bring
In such verdicts, and the last Leg
islature passed a law designed to
remedy as far as possible some Of
the worst defects in our jury sys-
tenn. This law makes it incumbent
upon the county commissioners at
their first meeting in January to
make up the jury lists from citizens
of the better class, taking care to
exclude those who do not measure
up to the standard of good citizen
chip. This ought to do some good,
but it is not enough that juror
should be intelligent and have
sound morals; he ought also to have
an able backbone and plenty of re-
sisting power against the weakness
that seeks the easy way out by d.
luting justice with undeserveo
mercy. A jury of weak men car
make the whole machinery of law
worse than ineffective-it can per
vert it to bad uses.

Carmen Sylvia. }

Bucharest, Roumania. June H-Court
life in Roumania is, perhaps, the dullest
In Europe. and the Roumanians are
stunning II more and more. This is hard
to believe of a court over which Car
men Sylvia" the brilliant novelist and
woman of letters, presides.
That the old friends OF Queen Eliza
beth seldom ask for an audience now Is
said to be due to the fact that the Queen
is surrounded by three old women, who
prefer to sit and knit and cannot un-
derstand why one should want 10 talk
about books or art But when the court
is at Sinsia and the old ladies have gone
to wiesbaden for their annual cure the
old friends of the Queen come back. But
in Bucharest the Queen sees none OF
them Even when they ask for an au-
dience she does not know of 1t. because
her maids of honor refuse, on the ground
that her majesty is very tired.
The Queen is a splendid neediewoman
herself, and makes many beautiful things
for her invalid niece, Princess Elizabeth
of Who'd, who Is so delicate that she lies
literally wrapped up In cotton wool. The
Queens eyes are better now, and she
has fully recovered, from her attack of
Influenza, which was so severe that her
friends were greatly alarmed.

Special Gable to The Washington HERALD.
Vienna. June livery much to the
disappointment of the Vienna suffrage
leaders, the wife of the Imperial Opera
director. Frau Hans Gregor. has disap-
peared from town. and II is whispered
that the management higher up firmly
determined her name should not lend
prestige TO the occasion of feminine
glorification. which is very much frowned
on by Conservatives as well as the Cleri-
cal party. Della Gregor. who was Della
Rogers. of Denver, stood firmly on her
rights as an American woman, and
worked heartily for the success of inter-
national delegates. which the city as well
as the state authorities refused to assist
merely on grounds that the visitors
were women.
They insultingly answered the inquiries
OF the committee with the remark that
they would do nothing, but double the
police force and the result has been that
thousands of women otherwise disaffect-
ed cannot be accepted, for 1t is tenfold
more than Is needed
Vienna has made herself ridiculous and
really popularized the cause. Upper
society here is thoroughly decadent and
medieval. and dictated to by the clergy.
which opposes all reform and progress.
Della Gregor, or Frau Director Hans
Gregor as she is called. holds the high
est crown-appointed position in court
circles for the crown owns and operates
the royal opera, which caters to the
gayety of the court as the church caters
to its piety. and to have been born an
American and hold her place Is hard
enough for local society women to bear
without her to lead of into the most
reactionary measure, namely woman's
suffrage
So things are hot in the upper froth
of the society kettle and Frau Hans
Gregor is quietly away for few days.

The American invasion of which one

and modistes know too well, American
customers seldom have been so coy and
so few as now.
Inconstant weather and perhaps mar

II Americans are just now strangely
rare in Paris. the week none the less
has been warmly tinged with American
ism. Rear Admiral Peary and the Cali
fornian Boy Scouts had hOnors and at

sique of the young Californians formed
a suggestive contrast to the pale faces
and slight build of the French Scouts. II
may be long before a party of French
lads venture to emulate the example OF
our plucky Westerners. Henry Hadley
