sNiai Priua.N

People often ask the meaning Of the
legal expression "nisi prius." Literal
ly interpreted it means "unless BEFORE"
a name given to the sittings of court
for the trial of civil causes. Judges on
circuit, besides trying prisoners, have
the power to give decisions In causes
of complaints between private parties
and when so acting are called judges
of "nisi prius." Formerly when the
circuits were less frequent the sheriff
was commanded "by writ" to bring
the jury and witnesses from the coun-
ty where the action arose to Westmin-
ster, Gloucester or Winchester on a
certain day, but when the assizes be-
came frequent "nisi prius" clause
was inserted in the writ containing
these words: 'Unless before that day
our justices shall come to your county
and take the assizes there" AS 1t hap
pened that the assizes always did take
place before the date named in the
writ the clause was practically useless
and now remains only as a name for
those civil causes to which until re-

Blood and Thunder Drama.

One of the most successful produc-
tions at the "Old Vic" was a play
written without Dickens permission
round "Oliver Twist" and banned by
the lord chamberlain owing to the re-
alistic way In which Bill Skies MUIR
dered Nancy. His lordship's jurisdic-
tion did not extend to what were then
called the minor theaters.' so the
play was for many years a standing
dish at the "Vic" and thrilled the gal
leryites with fierce emotions, no mat
ter how many times they had seen it.
"Nancy was always dragged round the
stage by her hair" writes John Hol-
lingshead, "and after this effort Skies
always looked up defiantly at the gal
lery. He was always answered by
one loud and fearful curse. yelled by
the whole mass like Handel festival
chorus. When Skies seemed to dash
Nancy's brains out on the stage a
thousand outraged voices, which sound

and deafened the audience below

PRIMARIES
In California Attracting Much
Attention

San Francisco, Aug. Statewide
primaries will be held in California
tomorrow for the nomination of candi-
dates for United States senator, re-
presentatives in Congress and COVER
nor and other State officers. The
campaign which closed today has
been one of the most spirited in the
political history of the State.
Senator George G. Perkins, whose
term will expire next March, is not
candidate for denomination. The
leading Republican candidates for his
seat are Congressman Joseph r.
Knowland of Alameda and Samuel
Shortridge of San Francisco, with
the chances for the nomination appar-

co and one of the best kown politi-
clans in the State, is expected to be
nominee of the Democrats for the

choose between Francis ]. Heney and
Chester II. Rowell.
Governor Hiram w. Johnson, who
was Roosevelt's running mate, in 1912
will be renominated by the Progress
sives for governor, Spirited contests
are on for the heads OF both the Re
publican and Democratic State tickets
and the results cannot be foretold
with any degree of certainty. The
Socialists and Prohibitionists have
already selected their candidates fol
the leading offices and will not parti
cipate in the primaries.

The United States is the home of
the heaviersthan-air flying machine.
The Wright brothers first made this
machine practicable, and the expert
ments of Prof. Langley paved the
way for the Wrights. Yet, as ma.
tlon, we have done much less than
others in exploiting the aeroplane.
We rank seventh among the ma
tions of the world in provision for
military aeronauts, being preceded by
France, Germany, Russia, Great Brit
ain, Italy and Japan, in the order
named The French Government has
appropriated the great sum of $6,400.

while popular subscription has added
S1OOO,0OO to this. Our own appropria.
tions have been pitifully small in com.

only 100000 for the current year.
We are deficient in mahcines and in

nations are not only in advance of us
in aeroplanes, but also in dirigibles

the cause. This, however, was denied
by hrs. Rosenberg.
The fire was discovered by Herman

They ran up the stairs after giving
