PUTTING FACTS IN THE PAPERS
Senator McLaurin’s charge that Mr.
Bryan refused to vote for Judge Crisp
for Speaker because the latter hud
bec-n a Confederate soldier is not new,
and there is no evidence that it is true.
Mr. Bryan doubtless regarded it as
poor politics to elect Crisp, who was
from a section which was already
solidly Democratic. Be voted for
ringer, who was from Mr. Bryan's
oid State. His vote against Crisp was
cast as a matter of honest judgmout.no
doubt, and not from a feeling of pre
judice. The charge that he voted
against Crisp because of the latter’s
Confederate record was made when it
was calculated to do Mr. Bryan more
harm than it can possibly do him now,
and it fell practically harmless, as it
should have done. Senator McLaurin
does himself no credit in repeating a
charge that is evidently not true —

After He Comes I
It is not unusual to charge that
dime novels are a frequent causo of
suicide, but uufortunatoly it is the
readers, not the writers, who make
way with themspivos.
A young mau has just died at Ni
agara who had forty-uino doctors, aud
of those forty-nine it took two consul
tations to finish him. Ho hung onto
life like a republican to office.
The following timely article, which
is most applicable to Americas as well,
is published in tho Augusta Herald.
There are too many requests ou Au
gusta newspapers to "pleaso keep my
name out of the paper” and to “please
do not print it.” The plea generally has
for its basis, “don’t care so much
about myself, but I don’t want to an
noy my family."
These requests come from persons
who want the newspaper to do more
for their families than they are willing
to do themselves, aud they deceive
themselves when they think humilia
tion will come to their family by pub
licity of their acts.
"The time has come when there must
bo more thought for “my family” be
fore and not after. Publicity must
prove the best way of protecting ‘ ‘my
family.” “My employer,” too,will fee
more secure when he knows that the
record of publicity is a faithful aud im
perative one.
Newspaper reporters do not like to
be put to the necessity of refusing im
portunity of this kind, but, in a great
many instances, they have been forced
to the conclusion that firm refusals—
and a distinct understanding that re
fusals are to be expected — will result
in good and oessation of annoyance—
both in the home circle and in the
newspaper office.

UGLY CASE ON TRIAL
IN JERSEY COURT
The Shooting of An Episco
pal Clergyman.
PROVOCATION IS PLEADED
Wife of Defendaut Informed Him
That Preacher Had 31ade Improper
Proposal to Her and Upon lielng
Repulsed Violently Attacked Her.
New York, Jane 17.—Thomas G.
Barker was placed on trial in the Hud
son county court, Jersey City, today,
before Judge Blair, charged with as
sault with intent to kilL On Feb. 3
lost Barker shot the Rev. John Keller
of Arlington, N. J., vicar of Trinity
chapel in that place. Barker told the
authorities he shot the minister because
his wife told him that Keller had been
guilty of a criminal assault upon her.
When Keller was shot he was on his
way to Fort Lee, to assist in the ordina
tion of a minister. Barker stepped out
from the shadow of a hedge and fired
at him with a revolver. Barker says he
spoke to Keller before tiring. Keller
says that he did not see his assailant.
One of the bullets fired by Barker went
through Keller's facial bone from the
right side, destroyed the sight of the
right eye, aud after teariug through tho
nasal boue buried itself beneath the
skin of the left side of the face. A sec
ond bullet shattered the fiugers of the
right baud.
Defendant's Story.
According to Barker’s story, Mrs.
Barker told him shortly before the shoot
ing that about 18 months previously Mr.
Keller culled on her while she was alone
in the house and made an improper
proposal. When she repulsed him, ac
cording to the story told by Barker, the
minister attacked her violently, and she
fainted.
Barker further said his wife had been
afraid to tell him the story of tho as
sault because she kuew that if she did
ho would kill the minister. For some
days before the alleged confession Mrs.
Barker had been in a very nervous con
dition.
Mr. Keller denounced the whole story
as utterly false. He declared that his
whole life was a refutation of the charge.
