The s'creopticon display at the

The lecturer, in easy, graceful and

view of Venico as a lady gorgeously

her watery base, bubbling with re.

the charming Naples with its placid
bay; Rome, historic Rome, with her
spires piercing the sky and her awe
inspiring courts, and stately obelisks,

Following the advico "of Grover
Cleveland that "a thing that is
worth working lor, is worth work
ing for to a finish," and basing
their convic.icns on this splendid
utterance, citizens have renewed
their ifforts to induce the Southern
railway to place a side track on the
south side of town, and their per
sistence in the matter has been
greatly encouraged, A survey has
been made from the depot east to
South Buffilo street, which runs
through the Chapman property and
cresses Buffalo creek 500 yards be
low the railroad bridge.
If the railroad will build the side
track, that entire vacant part of the
city will be bunt op at once with
various enterprises, calculated to
cause .the investment of several hun
dred thousand dollars. The pro
jectors are the moneyed men of the
city, and when the railrcad authori

will be done.

The J ml lien Aro to Illume
In oue of the courts of a Western
city a judge recently censured tho
lawyers in a case before him for
wasting time and imposing upon
the patience of the court and jury
by their dilatory tactics. The same
censure might be justly Applied in
nearly every criminal court in the
United States. It is a notorious
and undeniable fact that criminal
trials are auoweu to consume
weeks, where days should suffice,
This is unquestionably duo to inter
minable examination and cross-ex
animations; to protracted argument
over some trivial point, or upon the
admission or exclusion of some im-
matt rial evidence. Hours have been
consumed by some famous criminal
ryers in bulldozing witnesses, or
trying to confuse them, und not
infrequently the same tactics have
been tried upon the court. Un
doubtedly the lawyers are to blame
n a very large measure for seeking
to unduly delay the progress of a
trial, but it strikes us that the
udges are even mors at fault.
Perhaps nothing is more natural
than that a judge presiding over a
trial is careful to avoid eyery ap.
pearauce of partiality, but there
must be a limit to this anxiety.
He owes a duty to the public and to
the yery cause of justice evtn
higher than that which ha owes
himself. Ho should not allow the
perception of the jury cf the sah
ient, material, crucial poiuts of
case to become befuddled and couo
fused by trivalities and technicali
ties piled on by tbe lawyers. The
judge must be something more than
.the president of a debaliug society,
He must hold the scales of justice
with a firm and steady hand so that
the rights of tbe public no less
than those of the prisoner at the
bar may be conserved.
In permitting themselves to be
overriden by the lawyers the judges
beccme responsible in a large meas
ure for the many miscarriages of
justice, of which record baa to be
made, and no leBS for that disrespect
of the law which Duds vent in
lyucnings. audi outbreaks are
utterly unjustifiable, of course, but
their number would probably be
very much less if justice were ad
ministered with more promptness
and courts did not permit lawyers
to drag a case along for weeks jirst
in order to wear out the jury. The
judges themselves appreciate the
correctness of these strictures, but
only now and theu one has the cour
age to apply the remedy which he
holds in bis hand. Washington

"I say I'm as good Democrat as
you are, and I say free silver at
sixteen to one is Democratic doc
trine, you long-eared baboon, you."
Ihiswas the way it started. It
was in the corridor of the Pa'mer
House, of course, aud it was j'uat
before the crowd started for the
convention this morning. The first
speaker was a short, fat man, who
wore a high hat, and the second
was a tall, thin man, with whiskers
that came down almost to his waist.
It was about a n.inute after this
that the push begun. Of course
the moment the first man announced
his Democracy the crowd gathered.
In fact, it was already there when
the announcement was made. It
simply twisted around to see what
was going oa. There came the
push.
"You call me a long-eared bab
oon, you whiskered idiot 1"
screamed the short man.
The whiskered man hauled off
and brought a No. 19 fist down on
tne high hat of tbe short man.
Down, down, down went the hat.
There were shrieks from the inte
rior, wild shouts by the crowd, and
a swinging of hats and hands.
Then the whiskered man's head
came down with a jerk, and he
bawled :
"Leggo, leggo, you're killing me !
Oh, oh, oh, help !" Every word he
screamed, his head bobbed up and
down and the whiskers snapped.
The little man had two hands full
of them. Smash, bang, 6musb,
came the whiskered man s lists
down on the top of the hat, the
brim, of which iust erazjd the
shoulders cf the little man, who
was yelling lustly, though the yells
were necessarily muffled. Every
blow brought a harJer tug on the
whiskers aud tho bawling of the
big man was louder. The push had
landed the pair over near the wall
und they were bumping against it.
The police, thinking that mur-.
der was being done, dived into th
crowd and thumped and punched
their way to within sight of the
pair. When they saw what was
going on tbey grinned in a satis
lied sort of way, and punched and
pushed their way out again.
"Separate 'em," screamed a man.
"Separate nothing," retorted the
police. "They are only arguing the
financial question, and our orders
are not to interfere with arguments."
"Kidpl Murder!" howled the
whiskered man. "He's killing me."
Slap, snap, went the beard, and
down came the head. Thump went
the fist on the hat, and it sounded
like a drumstick beating the head
of a drum.
"Murder!" was again the ninllltd
eiy from under tho hat, and again
snap, snap went the whiskers. The
big man tried to kick, but the
crowd was pushing so close that he
couldn't do it. The little man had
the advantage. He drove bis head
into the big man's abdomen, pulling
the whiBkeis all the while. The
crowd was pushing and howling
with delight at tbe fun.
"Give it to him, sixteen to one,"
howled those on the outskirts.
"Soak him, goldy," biwled others.
Snap, snap went the whiskers and
smash again the list. The cries of
murder were renewed. They police
came back, ihev untangled tbe
bands of tbe little man from tbe
whiskers and lifted the tall man
out of the push by the back of the
neck.
"Youse people," said one big po
liceman, pushing the little man iuto
the crowd, "makes too much noise
with your arguing. Youse ought
'o hire a hall."
"He's a d d 1'opuliaf," snorted
the little mac, but he was swallowed
up in the crowd in a momut.
This was the first affair of the day.

Our God, who is not unequal in

stowed upon her and others who
lack some of the ordinary gifts,
wme double measure of joy that we
do not see and know.
It is enough ior the joys of this
little span of mortal life that the
children of pious parents are also
won into the paths of righteousness.
No earthly bliss ia equal to it. No
surroundings of nature's most pro
fuse, bestowals can compensate for
it. May the benediction of her
confirmation service rest richly
upon her consecrated fcead !
