FAMOUS TRIALS
THE REDISTRIBUTION TRIAL

Beyond any and all other events of It's Kind during the last century the trial of the Rev. Henry Ward Beecher, for nearly thirty years pastor of Ply mouth church, Brooklyn. N. Y, for un-
 due attention to Mrs. Theodore Hilton, as charged by her husband, excited
 the public mind from one end of the
 land to the other and this continued
 with unabated intensity until the end
 or the case nearly six months later.
 Eager crowds daily attended. the
 trial, which turned out to be the long
 est and most bitter judicial contest in
 the annals of American jurisprudence
 The most powerful legal talent of the
 bar of New York and elsewhere com
 posed the counsel of the respective
 parties. over this trial Judge Nelson
 presided.
 Mrs. Triton, seated with MT. Beech
 CTS friends, was in almost daily at
 tendance. Distinguished people from
 all parts of the country were visitors to the court. Flowers and applause
 were literally bestowed upon the plain
 tiff and the defendant by their respeC-
 tive supporters.
 Of the two great characters in this legal and social battle, Henry Ward
 Beecher and Theodore Triton 1t is safe
 to say that each had attained shin
 ing eIninence almost uneQualed in their respective spheres. As a- preach CT, author and reformer MT. Beecher
 Lt.
 For nearly thirty years he had min istered to the same church. and that the largest protestant church on the continent.
 Of this church Mrs Hilton had been a deVout member from her girlhood, as also had Mir. Triton from q period of years prior to 1870, the closest per sonal intimacy existing between the three. MT. Triton was editor of the Independent, a paper of wide intiu- ence, and as a scholar, orator and journalist he occupied a place in the very fC remest rank,
 On the 11th of January, 1875, and thereafter for nearly six consecutive months, the Brooklyn City court as- sembled day after day to try this me- mOrable action at law by Mir Triton against Mir. Beecher, the damages be- ing laid at $100,6 600.
 MT. Hilton based his charges mainly on q circumstantial confession made to him by Mrs. Triton in July, 1870, ac- companied by citations from MT. 1 Beecher's arguments and reasonings with her to overcome her scruples l against their relations.
 On the evening of Dec. 39, 1870, AIT. i Tilton conveyed to Mir. Beecher, through the hand of an old friend a of the latter. On this occasion AIr. ! Hilton drew AIr. Beecher's attention to a written paper containing the sub | stance of the confession hitherto made by Mrs. Hilton.
 i Thererpun Mir. Beecher called on 1 Mrs. Hilton and accused her of having made a damaging confession, and she acknowledged that she had. but said 1 she could not help it, as her husband l persuaded her that If she confessed to an undue affection for Mir. Beecher it ! would be easier for Hilton to confess

Other Peoples Ways.

London children whose playground is the street have many games tSat rival playing at horses or playing at motor cars" The popular one just now, obviously inspired by the picture palace, is Indians and cowboys" If odne is an Indian he has to crawl along the ground for some distance and then seize his victim by the hair, preparatory to scalping him. At the critical moment, however. the cowboy $ come along firing their pistols (bought at the candy shop; there is a cry of Hands up," which the Indians obey and then the game ends.
 The making of maple sirup and sugar in Canada in most of the older and more settled parts is gradually on the wane, as most of the sugar bushes" give way to cultivated farms. From 1850 to 1890 the production of maple sugar. together with it's equIv- alent in sirup increased year by year, but since that time it has steadily fallen. The increasing value of maple sugar and sirup have led to the re- moval of many orchards.

FOREST FIRES.

It makes little difference where for ests or extensive woodlands are To- cated, there is bound to be interest in the progress which is being made in the conservation of such valuable property through fire prevention and protection While only a small part of what could be done is actually be- ing accomplished it is an epcourag- ing report which comes from Massa- chusetts just now of the benefits which are being derived by the efforts to control fires When it is realized that for the past six months fires in wood lands have done damage only to the extent of about S10.0O0, whereas in a like period last year the amount had run up to over $100.000 satisfaction must prevail over the results which are being accomplished. Conditions may vary slightly in different years and the past six months have been rather unfavorabIe to fires because of the large amount of rain, but it is never theless impossible not to recognize the appreciable good which care and at tention are doing in keeping forest fires at the minimum.
 Particularly is this brought to at tention at this time by the large sec tiOnS of Wisconsin, M1ch1gan, Mlnne- sota and Maine which have been ex- periencing disastrous fires this month. It is the quick discovery and the prompt efforts which are made to check them which has kept Massa- chusetts loss down and the demon stration of the fact that that state can get results in overcoming such conditions involving large losses car ries it's own recommendations to other states

 At the suggestion of MT. Beecher abe revoked this confession in writing. T was persuaded to it." she wrote, ''wearied with importantly and weak end with sickness
 In order to still further impHcate himself MT. Beecher dictated an apol- ogy to MT. Hilton for his conduct to his wife, but at the trial Mir. Beecher affirmed that it was not an authentic document, and that he meant no crim- inffal friendship.
 Of the III witnesses in this won derfully case, only three really gave any damaging evidence against the misinster, Mrs. Triton, MT. Moulton. who had been a mutual friend and Mrs. Meulton. On the witness stand MT. Beecher denied all the accusations false the discriminating interview Mrs. Meulten claimed she had with MT. Beecher.
 MT. Beechers appearance on the witness stand was the culminating point of interest in this intensely ex- citing social and legal drama By his side, throughout the entire trial sat his wife. When it came to an end and the jury retired, they carried away with them the volumes containing the | evidence and the Judges charge and rulings, comprising over 1000 closely | printed double column pages. They | were out the unprecedented period ot | seven days. but failed to agree, finally ! standing nine for the defendant and l three for the plaintiff.

EVERY DAY REFLECTIONS
A Living Wage.

It takes much time and more sense to settle big problems. They have to settle in order to be solved. Settling is a gradual process. Nothing settles all at once. And yet time Is being denied some of the biggest problems ever before the city and the state. One of them is the problem of the minimum wage.
 A living wage" at last is coming to be considered a human necessity. Therefore, it has come to be an econo- mic necessity, if not a political neces- sity to provide some legal way to es- tablish a minimum rate of wages in certain selected industries below which it shall not be lawful to offer em- ployment. This is just and right, from every point of view.
 From the business point of view it those who follow it and to carry it's own risks Otherwise, other trades will have to sustain the trade that fails to do so. Such a trade is a par asite. It feeds and grows upon oth- CTS at the expense of their health and life They owe 1t nothing and should shake it off.
 Moreover. the public has no interest in maintaining a parasitic trade. Whats the use of doing so? If such a trade cannot support those who work at it the public will have to furnish charity or the poOrhouSe or the hospi- tai. to those whom this trade uses up and casts aside on the human scrap heap. Everybody is better off for not having such trade. The laws which deny it's right to exist and put it out of existence are right.

Tales From Over Seas.

One of the briefest and most ex- pressiye epitaphs was that suggested by Douglas Jerrold for Charles Knight The publisher oTte evening asked Jer- rold, half in jest. to devise his epitaPt. and as they were taking leave of one another the author held out his hand and said: I've thought of a capital one" What is ito" asked his friend. "Oh, very brief and simple" answered JerrOld. just good night"
 Charles Dickens, like Hugo, Camp bell and others, was particular about the placing of his comma, and one can understand such precision when re- calling what q hash misplaced poInt can make in an authors meaning.

HOW PENNSYLVANIA FEELS.

TIE FIRST STROKE IS HALF THE BATTLE

 "T'hat will be charming" cried Janet, '.ana that must do for tonight. They will answer for the first stroke which is half the battle. I must go to the children now and see them tucked up fer the night. I have an Idea about their reem, toe, but that must wait till another time. One thing at a time is i all I can manage" And she smiled back loving glance at him as she le1t the room.
 In searching for the desired furnish ings fer the parlers, treasures were also found for the nursery. A second pair of andirons led to opening the fireplace there. An old elothes-horse was turned into a picture screen Tor the little ones, much to their delight, @ dado of pictures formed another completed the room. There was place for their blackboard also and shelves for toys and books. An old dolls cradle was reclaimed from soli- tude, and when set of dishes was un- packed, which Papa remembered as l his own in early life, it was greeted with shouts of joy from the children who could not imagine that their fath- CT was ever small enough to make use | of any such thing.

SANITATION AND TYPHOID.

There are many reasons for thanks giving for the progress which has been made in cutting down the death rate from typhoid fever. Ii was not many years ago that the mortality from this disease was much higher throughout the country than it is at the present time, but through the powerful fight which has been made against its rav- ages by sanitation. the insistence upon better milk and properly guarded water supplies, appreciable reductions have been made. Even though most grat- flying results have followed in the wake of the adoption of sanitary meas ures and properly guarding the disease there still exists plenty of opPoFtu- nity for vigilance and effective action.
 Through the reduction in the death rate from typhoid, sanitation has been shown to be q preventive of such value ma. there can be no excuse for neg tecting precautionary measures. It should show to its credit each year d steady drop in typhoid deaths and where it does not it is made evident that there still exists opportunities for prevention and chances for work which should not be put off
 The tendency to relax in this pro- phyiactic treatment is indicated by the

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Cut Out the Heavv Oil

Cut Out the Heavy Oil.
 MT. Editor: Our street commission CT IS now busy deluging the resi- dental streets of our city with their annual coating of heavy, black, and i'll smelling oil. This oil is undoubted- " cheap, but the ultimate cost to our citizens is a big price for such dust laying material. It takes weeks for our streets to absorb this kind of oil. during which 1t is tracked into our homes, churches. and places of busi- ness, to the great annoyance and De- culinary loss of all concerned
 The disintegration of our streets in winter, and the heavy black oily mud which We must then endure are legacy from this business
 The only oil that is suitable for street sprinkling in cities. IS the light oil which is quickly absorbed by the earth. and which lays dust in an eff fective manner.
 Norwich will be willing to pay the increased price of such oil. Let us hope that our city fathers will not again impose on us the black and dirty stuff which we are getting this year.

WISE SECOND 1HoueHr.

Just what benefit will come from the determination of Carranza to send delegate to the mediation conference at Niagara Falls, Ont IS lmpoSSiole to tell, if any comes at all It IS 1m- possible to tell what the outcome will be, anyway, but his decision to nave a representative on the ground Is g. hopeful sign. It manifests an Inter est in the undertaking and a desire to keep in touch with the progress or affairs which can be done only by De- ing represented in the conference.
 In the taking up of the Mexican sit uation for the settlement or Its Whole trouble and the establishment and maintenance of constitutional gov ernment such as is the wish of Pres ident Wilson, it is important that the rebels should be represented. It was q recognition of the need of having their interests in the solution proper ly set forth. and of having them in proper touch with whatever subjects are taken up by the mediators that the earlier efforts to have them send en- yoys were made Due thought upon the matter has apparently resulted in bet fer Judgment. a fact which has been characteristic throughout the Carranza decisions
 Matters which have already been taken up, particularly the land prob lem, are as vital to the rebels, being the things over which they have been fighting. as to the Huertstas, While the whole conference in general in view of the increasing power of the constitutionalists and the waning Of Huerta's control directly concerns them. With the extensive considera- ton of all Mexican troubles Carranza cannot afford not to be represented.

BECkER'S GUILT.

Once again must it be realized that justice has been done in the trial of Charles Becker, the former officer of the New fork police department who not only headed a highly developed system of graft. but was so certain Of his power through his position, that even death did not balk him when it came to a question of removing an obstacle from his path. He stood in the position ef having his system re- vealed by RosenthaI. a gambler who knew it. and who could not be con trolled- It was a ease where disclosure meant his job and possibly punish ment and so thoroughly steeped had he become in crime that the death of Rosentnal was not too much to seek.
 No claim has been made that Beck CT actually committed the murder but he was the directing power His mo- tive was to prevent disclosure of his practices. which had been carried to
 ch length that he knew no restraint. Re even knew jlst how and where to make the appeal which would get the needed gunmen to do the trick while he remained in the background as usual to profit by the dirty work of others.
 The second trial has not been char acterized by so much sensational tes- mony or so many lawyers battles as Ihe first. chiefly because it had gotten ito be an old story, but the outcome justifies the widespread public opinion that Becker received full justice at the first trial. Having been found guilty twice he has received more jus tice than the average criminal but it remains to be seen how effective fu- ture attempts to prevent the operation of the law will prove, for 1t isn't to be supposed he will accept the penalty without a fight
