NISS EGELSTON ID RETURN NEXT FALL
 CABLEGRAM STATES

The many friends of Miss Hannah C. 11gleston, who has been employed as secretary in the regional purchasing department of the '. M c. A. at Co., bienz, Germany, will be glad to learn that she is expected home in the early fall A cablegram to this effect was received by her family Monday.
 Miss Egelstons experience since go- ing overseas have been unusually in teresting. She tells of living in the home of a German family and of being treated with a kindness which is pug zling. but very acceptable to an Ameri- can girl so far from home; of teach ing bookkeeping to a German girl who was formerly employed by officers of the German army and whose cowed attitude shows plainly the treatment she received a. their hands. She writes also of attending church in the chapel of William Hohenzollerns former former summer home; of a wonderful birthday party which she gave on the banks of the Rhine, entertaining the office force and athletic department of the Y. M. c. A. in CoblenZ; of meet ing numbers of her former high schoo mates from Kentucky where she was raised, as well as several Phoenix boys She mentions having tea with a gen erals party in the famous hunting lodge of Bertha Krupp.
 Each letter is like an interesting book and her intimate friends reat them eagerly. Her work is so press ing that she can write only to her fam fly but the letters are passed around in order that others can keep in toucl with her. Her fellow members in tn business girls club of the local Y. W c. A. feel that they share in the succes ofiher work overseas and are anxiousl. awaiting her return.
 One of the amusing features of he letters is the story of her title 9Th Ice Cream Queen" earned through he management of the financial end o the ice cream parlor which the Y. N c. A. has opened up for the boy around Coblenz.
 Miss Egelston will have a week furlough during the last week in Ma which she will spend among the Alp in Switzerland

 Chief Justice Whiteside in his ''Early Sketches relates the following anec- dote of Lord Chief Baron O'Grady O'Grady (Viscount Guillamore), who presided over the Irish court of ex- chequer from 1903 till 1881: sir Will liam Steamer, a portly, consequential alderman of the Corporation of Dublin, when sitting as foreman of jury, in terrupted the chief baron at a critical moment by vehemently protesting he could no longer endure the intensity of the cold, and begging permission to wear his hat His lordship, cast ing an affectedly sympathizing glance on the half-frozen baronet, dryly re- piled: Sir William. it is not usual for gentlemen to wear their hats in courts of justice, but if a wig would answer am sure members of the bar will kindly accommodate you with a good fit

WEARING A HAT
 BEFORE ROYALTY

The death of Lord Forester will re- call to mind the fact that he enjoyed the hereditary privilege, conferred on his ancestor by Henry VIII, of wear ing a hat in the royal presence, says Law Notes Lord Kingsale, the pre- mier baron of Ireland, has a similar privilege, conferred on his ancestor by King John. The wearing of the hat has led to some remarkable incidents in parliamentary and legal history.
 To give a few Illustrations: In 1892 a difficulty presented itself in the case of Mir. Pease the first Quaker member returned to the house of commons. He objected from conscientious motives to taking off hs hat in the chamber of the house. It is a rule that the hat might be kept on when a member re- mained sitting, but must be taken off when moving in the house. Some friend of MT. Pease, to obviate the diff f1culty, instructed the sdoorkeeper to gently remove his hat and retain it till he quitted the house. In the course of a year or two he put it on for himself.
 The controversy as to whether Charles l at his trial in Westminster hall should be covered or uncovered was decided by the arrangement that both the king and Bradshaw, whose hat is preserved in the Ashmolean mu- scum at Oxford, should be covered
 In the celebrated case of Sir John Fenwick in 1887, when one of the two witnesses required to substantiate a charge of treason was prevailed on by the wife of the accused to quit the Kingdom, resort was had to a bill of attainder, which became law, under whose provisions Sir John Fenwick suffered the penalties of high treason The severity of the course pursued in his case is believed to have been due to his studied insults to Queen Mary in keeping on his hat ostentatiously in her presence
 At the Scottish bar the privilege. now never exercised by the lord advocate in being covered when pleading before the judge, has it's origin in the claim of this privilege made by Lord Advo- cate Hope in the reign of Charles |. whose two sons were members of the Scottish judiciary.
 Lord Abingdon, who was tried. con victed and sentenced for criminal libe before Lord Chief Justice Kenyon claimed to be entitled to wear his hat at the trial a claim which was per smptorily refused.
 Some thirey years ago, at the assizes at Limerick a Quaker gentleman was won't to create @ mild sensation by keeping on his hat in court till by the order of the judge it was removed by a constable. A going judge of assizt gave direction that no notice should bt taken of the gentleman in the event ot his. wearing his hat in court, where

NEW LIGHTS ON BOVINE
TUBERCULOSIS.

Recent Federal investigations
of tuberculosis under normal farm
conditions continue to incriminate
rodents. especially mice. as posi-
BILE spreaders Of the disease. Fol-
lowing are briefly the results Of
last years studies on tuberculosis
by experts of the Bureau Of Ami
NAL Industry. Thorough clean
ing Of stables from which tuber-
culous animals have been re-
moved has been shown to be of
greater Importance in making
buildings safe for healthy animals
than the use Observation-Disclosures.
When the cleaning is properly and
thoroughly done the quantity Of
disinfectant needed is relatively
small. Nice which have ingested
tuberculous material are especial

bercle bacilli multiply enormously
in their bodies and are scattered
freely with their feces. Results
obtained again emphasize that this
destructive disease would decline
materially if relatively simple pre-
cautions, against it's spread were
more commonly understood and
practiced by owners Of live stock.
Among the principal measures
urged by the bureau are sunny,
well-ventilated barns, sanitary
surroundings, application of the
tuberculin test to all cattle when
the health of the herd is doubt
full, prompt removal of any ami
mails which are affected, and the
introduction into the herd Of only
such animals as are known to be
free from the disease.

tim Of a miscarriage Of justice,
even if, for the sale of the argu-
ment. the right Of the United
States Government to try him be-
fore a militar v court is admitted.
The mortality at Andersonvi!le
undoubtedly was heavy, and. in
the bitterness of the times, it was
perhaps natural that the North
should demand victim. and they
found him in Capt. Wirz, who had
been detailed in commend of the
prison.
But Capt. Wirz was the victim
OF conditions he could not control.
1t was not his fault that the South
was unable in its impoverished
condition, to furnish the food Or
the medicines or the clothing
which were essential to maintain
the health of the institution put
in his charge. It's own army went
hungry Oftener than not, and its
flag finally went down in the dark
ness of defeat because it had
reached the point Of complete ex-
haustion of it's resources.
If Capt. Wirz could have been
tried after sectional passion had
cooled, if he could have had the
benefit of the fair trial which III
these more enlightened times even
the German culprits are assured,
it is doubtful if he would have
been condemned to suffer the ig-
nominious and unjust death which
was his fate.-States.
