NO EXTRA MONEY
FOR THE JURORS
Government Refuses Additional
Pay.
TO GREENE AND GAYNOR JURY
I *
Jurors Suffered Financially by Rea
son of Length of Trial, but Govern
ment Will Not Reimburse—Moody
Says Precedent Would Be Bad.
Washington, May 3. —Attorney Gen
eral Moody has refused to recommend
action by the government to reimburse
the members of the jury in the Greene
and Gaynor case for extraordinary
expenses claimed to have been incur
red by* them in serving the government
during the long period of the trial at
Savannah, Ga.
Some days ago Mr. W. T. Thomas, of
Quitman, foreman of the jury, wrote
Representative Brantley calling atten
tion to the great amount of time con
sumed in the trial, and claiming that
this had operated as a great hardship
upon all of the members of the jury.
Those of the jury who are merchants
as well as those who are farmers, suf
fered severely, Mr. Thomas claimed,
by being kept away from their legiti
mate business during the long period
of the trial, and he asked if there was
no way to secure compensation at the
hands of the government. Mr. Brant
ley took the matter up with the attor
ney general, asking if there is any
fund in the department of justice to
cover such cases, and if not, whether
he would not recommend some action
by congress.
The attorney general has written
Mr. Brantley replying that there is no
such fund, and that it would be im
possible to make the recommendation
suggested, for the reason that it would
set a very bad precedent. He points
out that the duty of the citizen to
serve on juries when called upon, and
suggests that for the government to
make provision for the payment of
claims of this character would, per
haps, open the way to the suggestion
that it would be putting a premium
on verdicts for the government.
Tillman Proposes Amendments.
Washington, May 3. —Senator Till
man has proposed certain amend
ments to section 6 of the railroad rate
bill prepared at his request by the in
ter-state commerce commission to cor
rect certain alleged inconsistencies in
the pending measure concerning the
publication of all rates, whether indi
vidual or joint. The amendments pro
posed will include in th epublication
all terminal charges, storage charges
and all special privileges or facilities
granted or allowed. The amounts will
have the effect of placing the filing
and publication of all schedules on the
same footing, and make such sched
ules include all rates, privileges or
facilities.
THE BACK WAY.
Balzac's Avenue of Escape From His
Creditors.
In the year 1848 or thereabout, be
ing worried by duus in Paris, Balzac
took lodgings in Pussy, then a village
in the environs, at a bouse in the Rue
Basse. There is little remarkable
about the front of the house. It is just
a plain, white, two storied French
dwelling of a hundred years ago or of
today for that matter.
But at the back is a garden and at
the bottom of the garden is a doorway
leading into one of the oldest lanes in
the world, from the look of it. Truly
this ruelle, with its crumbling walls of
stone and plaster, its ivy and its shade
of overhanging trees, is as happily de
void of suggestions of modern “im
provements” as anything to be found
within the girdle of the fortifications.
By means of this byway ’’Balzac,
when insistent voices from within the
house reached his ears as he worked
in his little pavilion at the emj of the
garden, could avoid the unpleasantness
of an interview with any holder of the
overdue bills which throughout his life
were the only tangible results of bis
experiments as a printer and type
founder.
It needs but little imagination to see
him hurry off down the lane, hatless
and in slippers, to await events, while
he dreams of exploiting the jewels of
the Golconda or the silver mines of the
new world.—W. 11. Helm in Critic.
LAND OF THE PARIS CABMAN
Place to Which lie Ileturus With Hitt
Savings to End His Hays.
It is a peculiarity of Paris, which ev
ery visitor who knows enough French
to tell one dialect from another must
Lave noticed, that nearly all Paris cab
men come from the same part of the
country. The same thing is true of
coal merchants and of dealers in roast
ed chestnuts, who come from Au
vergne; of the goatherds, who liawk
their milk about the streets, who are
Breton peasants, and of many other
trades.
The cab drivers’ laud is probably lit
tle known to Englishmen. It is down
in the Aveyron, and Rodez is its capi
tal, d tiny village, where the worst lan
guage and the best hearts in all France
are to be found. The eldest of each
family in Rodez takes the land and the
paternal cottage. The old folks live
with him until their death, and the
younger sons go to Paris and drive
cabs.
For years they drive about in all
weathers, scraping together sou by sou
until they have garnered enough to go
home and pay for their board and lodg
ing for the remainder of their days.
They go with the elder brother to a
notary on the first day of their return
home and sign a deed by which he is
bound to keep them for the remainder
of their days in idleness in return for
their savings.—London Standard.
$50,000 Fire Loss.
Chicago, May 3.—Fire in the black

daj caused a loss of $50,000. A num
ber of valuable models were destroyed.
