A SHADOW DECIDES.
EVEN a shadow can determine the fate of
a man in court. When one stops to think,
it seems absurd to regard an intangible,
flickering, disappearing reflection like a
shadow as a witness worthy of belief.
It was a shadow in a Omaha court which
resulted in the acquittal of a man held on a
charge .which was grave, and upon evidence
which seemed to lie conclusive.
It was the bright mind of a young attorney,
with truly detective instincts, which brought
about an acquittal.
This was probably the strangest witness
ever introduced in a criminal or civil trial held
in this country. It will probably be the only
time a shadow will be called upon to testify in
behalf of a defendant.
In the Omaha case a man was placed on
trial, charged with placing a traveling bag,
filled with dynamite, on a dwelling house porch,
between the hours of 2 and 3, on a certain Sun-
day afternoon. The bag was really an infernal
machine and the guilty party who placed it
there contemplated the destruction of the house
and its inmates.
The evidence was all circumstantial except
in one instance. The state introduced, as a wit-
ness, a girl of sixteen years, who testified that
she was certain that she saw the defendant car-
rying the satchel shortly before 3 o'clock, walk-
ing in the direction of the house. Tier testi-
mony was emphatic. She was positive that

GOING HOME TO MOTHER.
OUEEN VICTORIA of Spain is weary of
the shams and hypocrisies of her life at
Madrid and is going home to mother.
She is a woman, after ail, and when everything
lias gone wrong and the full realization ot the
disillusion of her married life weighs upon her
save for the occasional glimpses of it, vouch
safed by the newspaper correspondents.
ITow soon have all the glories ot sovereignty
vanished! Only a few short years ago Victoria
was a lighthearted and carefree English prin-
cess with a bright outlook upon life. In the
ordinary course of things she was destined to
marry some man of her own rank who might
or might not be worthy ot her. Hut at least
she would be with her own people and remain
among her own friends and the manners and
customs of the Saxon race. But one day a dis-
solute prince ascended the throne ol Spain.
This new king was probably as good as most
of the royal personages of his place and time.
Interests of state demanded that he marry in
order that a successor of the hlood should be
provided. Austere old grandees of Spain got
their heads together and arranged this mar-
riage. Alfonso had little or nothing to say
about it. A list was prepared of all the avail
able princesses of Europe, and Princess Ena
later Victoria—was the chosen victim. Every-
thing was "arranged," and the two young peo-
pie were introduced to each other as future bus
band and wife. Of course, as a love match it
was a farce. Victoria was chosen because she
seemed physically fit for the nnruose and be-
cause such a marriage tended to ally the totter
ing throne of Spain with powerful England.
But now Victoria has rebelled. She has
felt the blighting scorn of jealous court beau
lies. She lias tasted to the dregs the foul cup
of humiliation held out to her by a foreign an 1
a hostile people who have never sought from
the outset to make her existence in Spain en
durable. The man who should have protected
and cherished her lias proved himself a con-
temptible cad. So Victoria is going home to
mother. She is following her natural instincts
and the cry of her heart. She yearns for her
own people and the guardianship of her kins-
men. Millions of other women have gone the
same path. When the hopes and the promises
fade with the bridal blossoms there is only one
wav to turn to mother.—Kansas Oitv Journal.

was "Git there fustest with the mostest men."

Of the 717 children arrested in New York
last month, most of the arrests were for playing,
in violation of the law. with bats, balls, pennies,
marbles, kites and vehicles. But in our busy
cities, where so much room is needed for the
grown folk, there's no place for playgrounds.
The demand in New York appears to be for a
breed of children that will not want to play.
ers, had their photographs taken on the church
porch.
In looking at the photograph the young law-
yer for the defendant noticed a shadow on the
side of the church. He submitted the photo-
graph to an astronomer. This authority soon
estimated in a practicable and uncontradict-
able way that the photograph must have been
taken within a few seconds of one and one-half
minutes past 3 o'clock. The computation was
a simple one in spherical trigonometry and no
one could dispute it. As a result the testimony
of the only eye witness was thrown out of court.
She evidently saw another party. The other
evidence being circumstantial and of a ques-
tionable authenticity, the jury returned a ver-
dict of not guilty.
Thus, so small and intangible a thin# as a
shadow can become a valuable witness, for
shadows on the wall cannot lie like human

BARRY'S DISGRACE
THE public will never be informed in specific
terms concerning the exact nature of the
conduct of Ex-Admiral Barry, which has
resulted in the greatest disgrace that ever
marked the career of an officer of our navy.
Moreover, owing to the peculiar circumstances
attending the case, the public will never ask.
The one person in all the world who might
have the right to demand that those circum-
stances be made known is Ex-Admiral Barry
himself. And he accepts his disgrace without
defense or question. He retires into most com-
plete oblivion and takes the facts in the case
with him.
The one consoling fact in the whole matter
is that the navy itself is not affected by the
conduct of one officer who has thrown away
the record of a lifetime and quietly, unques-
tionably accepted his personal dishonor.
As a rule, there is not in all the world a
more honorable, high-minded body of men than
the officers of the United States navy. Such
has been their repute in all the country's his-
tory. Trained in matters of gravest responsi-
bility. disciplined in affairs 011 which depend
the nation's safety anil the nation's honor,
bound by obligations which tend to cultivate , wouJd feel ,better But lt was har(1

cultured in sciences which make for the ad-
vancement of mankind as well as national pro-
gress. they stand in the forefront of the world's
list of honorable gentlemen.
Barry's disgrace is no reflection on the rec-
ord, reputation or character of such men. His
dishonor is all his own.—Chicago Journal.

A Patriot
and His Love.
(Copyright, by tUe AuUiur.)
"My love, Sarah! I hoped to be a
prop around which your affections
might have.clung and which would
never have been shaken. But a rude
blast has snapped it and they have
fallen over a grave."
Thus, in 1803, wrote Robert Emmet,
from his piison cell. The letter was
cut short by the arrival of the guard
that was to conduct him to the scaf-
fold. His last words and thoughts
were for Sarah Curran, the lovely girl
who shared with Ireland the devotion
of his great heart. A biographer tells
in the following lines how utterly the
young patriot's affection was recipro-
cated by Miss Curran:
"She loved him with the disinter-
ested fervor of a woman's first and
early love. When e^©ry worldly max-
im arrayed itself against him, when
blasted in fortune and disgrace and
danger darkened around his name, she
loved him the more ardently for his
very sufferings."
Robert Emmet was an Irishman of
excellent family. From boyhood he
showed every promise of a brilliant
future. At Trinity college. Dublin,
where *he was a
fellow-student and
chum of the poet,
Tom Moore, he distinguished himself
by a veritable genius for oratory. He
also became enthusiastic over the
"United Irishmen" movement and an
earnest worker for his oppressed coun-
try's freedom. On account of his ar-
dent patriotism he was expelled from
college in 1798. Thence the 20-year-
old lad went to the continent of Eu-
rope, where he remained for two
years. Returning then secretly to Ire-
land, he threw himself heart and soul
into the plan for a general Irish revo-
lution. On July 23, 1803, he and his
colleagues attempted to seize the ar-
senal and castle of Dublin. The sol-
diers of the garrison beat back their
assailants and the uprising failed.
Emmet escaped to the WickJow
mountains, where he bided his time
until he could cross safely to France.
Finally his arrangements for flight
were completed. But before turning
his back forever on his native land
he resolved to run the terrible risk of
capture by seeking a last interview
with Miss Curran. His friends ad-
vised against such a rash act. But
love was stronger than prudence. The
chance for safe escape passed and
Emmet was arrested. He was tried
for high treason and condemned to
death. At his trial he spoke so elo-
quently in protest against Ireland's
wrongs that the English judge himself
was moved to tears.
Emmet wrote to Miss Curran, and,
according to the story, offered a jailer
his watch and all his money to deliver
the letter. Through secret family in-
fluence the unhappy girl is said to
have secured lea\e to visit Emmet in
his cell the day before his execution.
She is also said to have sat in a car-
riage outside the prison when Emmet
came forth to be hajiged, and to have
kissed her hand in farewell to the gal-
lant youth.
After her lover's death Miss Curran
found her sorrow still further deep-
ened by her father's attitude toward
hef. Furious at her devotion to the
unfortunate patriot-martyr, Mr. Cur-
ran made life so hard for Sarah that
she was obliged to leave the shelter
of his house. Homeless, loveless, she
fell into a melancholy from which
nothing could arouse her.
Her sufferings excited the pity of
Capt. Sturgeon, an army officer. Stur-
geon asked her to be his wife. She
replied that her heart was dead. On
Sturgeon's assurance that he begged
only the right to protect and comfort
her. she consented
to marry him.
Sturgeon took her
to Sicily, hoping the mild southern cli-
mate might restore her shattered
health. But the trouble lay too deep
for humpn care to lighten it.
Two years later Sarah died—liter-
ally of a broken heart. By her ear-
lier wish her body was brought back
to Ireland for burial. Her fate forms
the theme of one of Moore's most
beautiful poems.
Emmet's body rests in an unmarked
grave. For he commanded that, no
epitaph be carven above his head un-
til Ireland should be free. Yet thou-
sands of pilgrims have gone to gaze
on the nameless tomb. Almost the
first of these visitors was a slight,
dark-haired girl who, two days after
Emmet's execution, slipped away, by
stealth, from the Jealous guardianship
of her father and went, under cover of
night, to weep beside the last resting
place of the man she loved.

Basing his statement on a series
of experiments with the latest pat-
tern of military firearm, Dr. Fessler,
of Dresden, says in a recent number
of Der Militaer Arzt that in the next
great war the mortality from gunshot
wounds will be "frightfully-large," He
describes one kind of military rifle the
missile from which will "not go
straight, but will be deflected by the
slightest resistance after it strikes the
body and will continue on, making a
wound at an angle with the one
through which It entered the body."
The "wounding capacity of the p^w
weapon is many times greater than
that of the rifles now lu use," and this,
he says, 'makes It a tangible argu-
ment in favor of peace."
