Despite the efforts Of bailiffs to
maintain order when the verdict was

room turned into cheering throng.
Senator Gore heard the jury's de-

on the cheeks OF both herself and the

Mrs. Bond and her husband left the
courtroom while the demonstration
was at its height.
Mrs. Gore declared she was too

SEAT LITTLE GOOD TO HIM
Smart Youth Had II But He Did Not
Proceed Far Toward His Des
tlnatlon.

An important looking and haughtily
acting young man was wandering up
and down on the platform OF the rail,
road station of small western city.
He was intent on finding an empty
seat in the express, which was almost
due to start Vainly did he search
each car. Suddenly he assumed an
official air and, walking up to the
last car, he cried out:
''All change here. This car will be
left here"
The occupants of the crowded car
uttered exclamations which proved
their dissatisfaction, but hurried out
and packed themselves in other
coaches. The face of the young map
assumed a bland and childlike express
sion as he settled himself very COM
fortably In an empty seat.
Shortly after the station agent put
his head In at the door and said:
Il suppose you're the smart boob
who told the folks this car wasn't 60
ing, aren't your"
Yes" replied the bright youth,
with a grin.
Well" responded the station agent,
you were right. 1t isn't. The brake
man heard you calling out about it,
and SO he uncoupled it. He thought
you were an official.

New Haven, Conn, March 24.-The
State Central committee of the Pro-
sressive party met today, placed It
self ON record as being firmly opposed
to any coalition with the Republican
party: decided to put a full ticket in
the field the next state election and
criticized the Democratic National
administration, especially in regards
to its policy of regulation of trusts
and corporations.
After giving the Democrats credit
for carrying out simple platform
pledges although under the lash of
party expediency and imperative pub
lie opinion" q set of resolutions de-
clares the administrations remedy
for the corporate business of this
country is to regulate 1t by destroy
ing 1t. The resolutions say
The most striking example of this
is here at home in the absurd hand

What the Tweed Divides.

The difference between English and
Scotch inheritance law is very wide
For instance, supposing man dies In
testate and his only living relatives are
his wife and mother. In England each
would take equal shares Of his per-
sonal estate but In Scotland the wife
gets one-half of the movable estate.
the mother one-sixth, and .two-sixths
go to the crown.
But supposing the mother alone is
living. In England she would get the
whole. but In Scotland she would only
get one-third. while the other two
thirds would go to the crown.
Then. again, If man dies intestate
and his father and several brothers and
sisters are living, In England the father
gets the lot. but In Scotland he only
gets one half. while the other half is
divided equally among the brothers and
sisters of the deceased. - Pearson's
