Hedfern Mason, in the San Francisco '' Examiner, said of the artist: "John McCormack came, sang and, as usual, conquered, yesterday afternoon nt the Cort theatre. His voice seems to be even sweeter, deeper, more mellow and sonorous than when he charmed us a year ago; his artistry more assured, easy and complete Nature and art appear to meet on equal terms, in the temperament, the training and the ar tistic offerings of John McCormack. What his fellow countryman, George Moore, terms the two fundamental types of all art—tihe 'folk,' or that which springs spontaneously from the common people, and the 'classic,' or that which springs from the cultured consciousness of the artistically civil ized—come together in a complete har mony in this singer. His Celtic temper ament, the magic which is his by right of birth, gives an indescribable yet very evident distinctive quality to his art that sets the seal of uniqueness upon him.'' $60,000 to Buy Coal for the Poor York, Pa., Jan. 19.—The will of Jesse M.

Who Killed Nathan Banks, Readied by Jury After Five Hours' Deliberation- May Be No Application for Retrial Guilty of niurdfir in the second de gree wua the verdict of the jury, ren dered last night, in the case of Hubert F. Scott, the city patrolman who shot mid mortally wounded Nathan Banks, another colored man, at 111!) Monroe street, on the night of August 1. last. The jury recommended Scott to the mercy of tin- court a.id Judge McCar len »aiu tuat cognizance of that sug gestion will be taken. W. Justin Cartel a"d Harry B. Saussaman, counsel for Scott, were granted ten days in which to take an appeal from the jury s decision and fiie reasons for a n w trial, although it is not believed that sach action will be taken. The jury deliberated something like five hours, having retired to their room shortly after 5 o'clock and an nounced at j 0.15 o'clock that an agree ment had been reached. It reported that on the first ballot five jurors favored a verdict of mur der in the first degree, five favored sec ond degree and two were for acquittal. Even though Ulie defense does not press its claim for a rehearing, it is not likely that Scott will lie called for sen tence before the second week in Febru j ar . v - The conviction of Scott leaves a va I cancy on the citv police force, which j now is being filled temporarily. The City Commissioners will within a week I or two pppoint a permanent patrolman. Scott was appointed a patrolman in I March, last, and was considered an effi cient policeman.

But we are not savages and must feed and roof all these hostile visitors until the war is | over. It is becoming a tremendous tax I on our resources. ' "Some of the Slav prisoners—and I most of oitr prisoners are Slavs—are j not ill-disposed toward Servia and a fow of these we trust with the less im portant work of camp and battlefield.

There was in olden time a race called Bogtie or Boag of that ilk in Berwickshire. A daughter of the family married a son of Hume, of Hume, in process o< time, by default of male issue, the Bogue estate devolved on one Ueordie Hume, who was called popularly "Hume of the Bogue," or rather, "Hum o' the Bug. He waß inclined to the marvelous and had a vast inclination to exalt himself, his wife, family, brother and all his ancestors on both sides. Hi« tales, however, did not pass current, and at last, when any one made an ex traordinary statement in the Nearns, the hearer would shrug up his shoul ders and style it just " a hum o' the bug." This was shortened into hum bug, and the word soon spread ovei the whole kingdom.—Philadelphia In quirer.
