How He Workei Men in Whom He Knew He Could Mold. A BITER FIREMAK'S TAHITI STIBRED That a large percentage of business and non-profeisional people allow the profes sional classes to think for them is, perhaps, sot strange, as it has been the rule trom time immemorial; bat when a man so emi nent as Ihaddens "Stevens declared that if it were possible that anything could be be yond the foreknowledge of God, it would be the verdict of a jury, it seems a little bit strange that the populace at large consider it the ''bulwark of Anglo-Saxon liberty," under any and all circumstances. As a rule, lawyers profess to consider it an indispensible adjunct to justice, though all do not. A gentleman who has expanded opportunities forjudging, and who has an intimate acquaintance with many legal gen tlemen, and especially one eminent as an advocate in the Criminal Court, relates come anecdotes which go far to explain why this lawyer is especially enamored of the jury system, and why he would, probably at least, prefer to have jurors unsophisti cated and untrained in logic He relates tome of the afore-mentioned lawyer's expe riences. THE EIGHT OJTE EXACTLT. A good many years ago there was a very unprovoked and brutal murder committed on the Uorthside, and this lawyer was en gaged to defend the murderer. There wasn't a shadow of hope that he could be acquitted on either legal or moral grounds, and hence some other must be sought The lawyer was in to win, as he always is, and his legal training and practice had made his armor proof against the weakness of those who have never familiarized themselves with tophisms. The only hope to secure an ac quittal lay in securing a rascal or a sap head on the jury. The District Attorney was working for fame, and, with a perhaps somewhat pardonable weakness, measured bis success by the number ol convictions he could secure. Among the jurors called was a man not overly well baked who brad been under obligations to the attorney for the defense for legal advice, and the latter knew he could "work him." To accomplish the end desired, the lawyer for the defense contrived to make the Dis trict Attorney believe the defense wonld prefer to have the man objected to. The ruse worked, and the public prosecutor de cided not to object to the alleged objection able man, and he was accepted. To him the attorney for the defense addressed the bulk of his arguments, and flattered him to an extent that would have been thought peril ous to a lawyer who knew not the juror's limited capacity. As calculated, that man finally wore out the convictions of 11 stub born, but more intelligent and conscien tious men, and THE EED-HA2TDED MUEDEKEB went tree and it is believed that, to this day, the District Attorney has never di vined the cause of his failure to convict. The juror called a few days later on the at torney for the defense and remarked that it would have been absurd to convict the mur derer on such evidence. The fact that it was overwhelming never dawned on his addled pate, and, though he was dismissed with the utmost appearance of consideration, the lawyer subsequently was known to re mark that he could afford to give -professional advice gratis to such men. The rest of the jury, sad to say, quieted their consciences on the narrow basis of divided responsibility. The same lawyer was, on another occa sion, attorney for a company that had put some kind of a furnace in a factory, and it was claimed that it did not work up to re quirements. It is said that the plaintiffs had merit in their claims, but did their at torney rest on that? Not at all. He recog nized a man on the jury who was a fireman on a steamboat, and decided to concentrate his fire on him, and here is the burden of the argument (?): , "Gentlemen of the jury, I recognize among you farmers and artisans, gentlen en of sound judgment in your avocationg, men of prob ity. God-fearing men and men of general in telligence; but it has not been your duty to Study this case as it has been mine, nofhave you had the opportunity. "We are excep tionally fortunate, howe'ver, gentlemen, in having among us in ,the right decision of this matter a man who thoroughly under stands the subjett. My friend, Mr. . is a steamboat fireman, and will be able, gen tlemen, to explain to you much better than I can hope to be able, the difficulties that beset a man in the prosecution of this call ing, unless he has been SPECIALIST TRAINED THEBEFOB. "He can explain to you that, without the requisite training and added experience, no man, no two men, could have managed this furnace successfully, and we have proven to you that the defendants, a tew days after this furnace was put in, discharged their fireman and imposed the duty upon an en tirely inexperienced man. My friend, who is an expert fireman, will explain to you that, if his employers were to discharge him and put an inexperienced man in his place no intelligent underwriter would take a risk on that boat for one day." That fireman's head bumped among the stars as he went out with his fellows to the consulting room, and, in a few minutes, they returned with a verdict for plaintiffs for the full amount of their claims, and with costs. Soft-solder had accomplished its per fect work. The same lawyer in another case where both wind and wave were against him law, reason, justice and common sense ex plained that he knew he would win it, as he recognized among the jurors a man who was a driver for his (the lawyer's) brother. Is it any wonder that some legal gentle men regard the jury as "the bulwark of Anglo-Saxon liberty" and "the perfection of human reason?" FEAES OF A FLOOD.

The Crew of an English Dark Refuse to Work and a Flebt Ensiles. New Xobk, April 27. Shipping people down town were thrown into a state of ex citement to-day, when the news reached them that the bark J. "Walter Scammel was .off Bedloe's Island, flying signals of distress. Notification was at once given the police boat patrol, the captain of which sent two officers in a small boat to the bark, to ascer tain what was the trouble. The officers found that the crew of ten men had muti nied, and that one of the number had been assaulted. From all that could be learned the story is that the bark, which is from St, John's, N. B., was to sail from this port with a cargo of lumber for Bio de Janeiro. Cap! tain Fnrlane was not on board, but he was expected at any time, and preparations were being made to sail by Mate Foster, when five of the sailors refused to work, claiming that the ship was unseaworthy and in a leaking condition. They also claimed that the captain had shipped the other five men of the crew when he Knew that they were not competent sailors. Then a fight took place, in which one man was knocked down, and Mate Foster run up a signal of dis tress. The moment the officers clambered over the side of the vessel, peace was restored and the distress signal was hauled down. The crew has agreed to abide by the deci sion of the British Consul.

Relief After 'Twelve Years of Intense Suffering. After failure to obtain relief from physicians, the Ta-va-zon Remedies pro duced an entire removal of all traces of disease. For about 12 years I have suffered from dis ease of tbe Liver and Kidneys. 1 tried several doctors, who gave me nauseous medicines that gave me only temporary or no relief. 1 tried patent medicines until my stomach was in such a state as to force indigestion. Time passed, and the disease, of course, advanced. Last summer I became so much reduced that I weighed only 131 pounds. I was weak, nervous, no appetite, skin very sallow and blotchy and I felt so distressing, 1 knew 1 could not bear up long unless something was done. One day I dropped in to the laboratory of Dr. Griffith, in Pittsburg. Having heard of the "Ta-ra-ion Remedies," I decided to try them. I purchased two bottles, Nos 1 and 2, and had only taken a few doses until I felt a marked difference. My appetite began to increase and I began to gain in flesh. H ow I weich 150 and have good color, and having used six bottles feel entirely cuitKD. I sincerely believe "Ta-va-zon" (Angel op Light) saved my life. In fact, Ta-ya-zow is the only medicine that reached my case. Wish ing fou every success, yours gratefully, J. 8. Youho. 409 Beaver avenue, Allegheny City, Pa. Personally appeared before me J. 8.

While there is life there is hope! Now is the best time; go at once or write. Fail not, for It is utterly impossible for any one to remain tick long if they take Ta-va-zon (Angel of Light), the only certain remedies after all other agencies have failed.

THE FATHER OF OUR COUHTRY Great as were Adams and Greene and Jefferson and Hamilton, and all that galaxy of heroes and statesmen, the chief -and master of them all was Washing ton. Sagacious in all things, equally wise in the strategy of the field and the philosophy of government; judicious and calm in the shock of battle or the stress of national despair; devoid of dramatic show and the petty airs of pre tended greatness, the luster of his pure character, of his serene patience and courage, of his far-seeing wisdom brightens with the years, and his name and achievements grow ever dearer to his countrymen and the race as the result of his labors and his counsels accumulate with the onward march of American institutions. J 1 '', '-3! 1 .' ' - ' $j - The Inauguration of Washington was, in fact, the completion of the nation's majority, for, while the Declaration of Independence, the evacuation of New York by the British and the adoption joi the Constitution are all great epochs in the history of our country, it was not, however, until the first President had been chosen and inaugurated that the new government was reaUy on its feet. It is fitting that this event should be suitably commemorated, but the original occurrence and its observance now alike gather added interest from the personality of him who then took the oath of fidelity to his high trust Kaufmanns', with their usual zeal and enterprise, have gaily decorated their building in honor of the occasion, and made a very appropriate window display that should be seen by everybody. It is a life size representation of General Washington on horseback. This tableau is surrounded by thirteen little boys (representing the 13 original States) each one holding aloft the star spangled banner. In the fore ground a faithful depiction of the well known cherry tree story completes this artistic display. KAUFMAMNS' s: BARGAINS.
