represented nd tba meetlog waa harmoni
ous throughout. A constitution, bylaws,
4a., won adopted, aod tba meetlog ad
joiiroed to S a, m, to-day.
II dove not appear tbat any feasible pUo
teodlog to relieve tbe oil produoeri or tbe
oil region from the preieat depression la
prices, Ac, wee brought before tbe meeting.
Tbte will probably bo done during today's
eoMloa. A Petroleum Froducere' Couoell
composed aolirely of produoeri, no doubt it
food iDKilutlon, but It itrikei ui will
prove Malm nolens some plan li brought
up and adopted teodlog to bring permanent
and laatlng relief to tba region. Tba 30
day movement, In our opinion, ouly bring
temporary rellel to tbe market, and tbe name
battle will bave to bo fought over again at
tba and ol tbat time, at waa the cue In tbe
Boutb Irorovemaot matter and tba tlx
mootbi euipeniioo of drilling.
Wo have 00 desire to dictate to tba boo

they will, epoodily adopt some plan tbat
will qulcklly aod effectively aquelch out all

least as Ibie region it conoernod.
Let the wotkba done at oooe, effeollvely
and surely, is the wishes of a largo major

Tba acquittal ol Mrs. Fair, at Ban Fran
cisco, of tbe murder of Mr. Crittenden, was
we suppose, one of the most glaring out
rage upou law, justice aod proprletv ever
committed by tbat most remarkable crim
loa an American jury. We bavo wonder
ed what lofluenoe could bave been brought
to bear upon a jury to have produced such
result Tbe Sao Francisco Cbioolclebrioiie
the details of the argument of tba counsel
and now we tan sea what acquitted Mrs.
Fair poetry. It was poetry, wall recited
by Mr. Curtis tba counsel lor Mrs. Fair.
The scene of bis speech In behalf of tbe
murderer was a melo-drama; now tba aud'
lenee were excited to laughter and then to
tears. But iba lait grand climax was what
carried them In realms of fancy and lauded
Mrs. Fair outside the prison. Mr. Curtis
haviog made bis floal jury appeal, turneil
and bending over bla sobbing client, and
plaolng bis band upon ber shoulder, evoked
tbe aid of the Quaker poet, Wblttier, aod
addressed ber thus:
Where e'er her troubled path may be,
Tbe Lord's sweet pity wito ber go!
The outward, wayward life wo see,
Tba bidden spring wo may not know.
Nor Is II given us to discern,
What threads the lalal slater spun,
Through what aooeslral years bss run
Tba sorrow wilb tba woman born;
Wbat forged ber cruel cbaln of moods,
What net bar feat in solitudes,
And bald ber lova wi Ibln ber mute;
Wltb mingled madness in tbe blood,
A life-long disoord and annoy.
Water of tears wltb oil of joy,
And bid within the folded bud,
Perversities of flower and fruit.
It Is not ours to sepsrata
Tba tangled skein of will and fate,
To sbow wbat metes and bounds sbould
land,
Upon Iba soul's debatable land,
And between choice aod Providence
Divide Ibo oircles of events;
But lie who knows our frame, is just,
And full of sweet assurances,
Aod bopo for all the language Is,
Tbat be remembretb we are duet.
Tba workiogmen of tbe H;do Farm, Up
per Benneboff Kua territory, bold an en
thusiastic meeting at Fleming's school
iouse, on Frldsy evening last. Resolutions
were adopted strongly advocating tbe claims
or the workiogmen ol tbo oil region;' asking
a suspension ol drilling and pumplog 00
Sundays, and calling lor a mass ciuveutlon
of Iba worktngmeo of Iba oil region for tba
purpose of forming a permanent association

tbe (act that ba bad better keep 00 good

Mrs. Miller, by tbe way, ut tbe outset o

idea et'boieot to advanced women ola

saying:

but rent in twain, and Itc "holiest of

tbe queerest thing about it Is tbat a Doe
