Morning Astorian, 60 cents per month. delivered by carrier. hadr Trad Whlrh Once Flourished la New Yark'a Court, The elder Welter In "Pickwick" wa, aa all admirers of tho work of Hick ens will know, a great Mlcver In the utility of na n I i tt n a defense In both criminal and civil actions. "Never lulud the character," aald Mr. Wellor to bis, sou. "Stick to the alley bl. Notliiug like an nlleybt, Sammy; nothing. Vetvvor bo's ngoln' to be tried, me boy, a nllcybl'i the thing to get blm off." This Biige advice of Mr. Wellor found frequent corroboration in the Tlewg of criminal lawyer lu town up to a very few year ago. There were half a century ago more criminal law yer than- there are today, and the emoluments and fees of criminal law yer were materially larger In the or dinary run of cam ttinn now. A a consequent", case were more of t-,n defend than they are now aud plena of guilty much more rarer. Then the alibi witness was a necessary though oaually unwelcome pnrt of the ma chinery of defense In criminal cases. There Is In criminal procedure- no bet ter defense than an nllld If sustained. Alibi witnesses were therefore very much In demand until Juries began to mistrust them and tho penalties for the crime of perjury were visited ujmjii tome of the delinquent. For a long tlmo the mendncjotia and subsidized testimony of profes alonal alibi witnesses obtained credence, from Jurors, and some of these wit nesses, to quote their own language, "made a good thing out of It." Juries In criminal cases are usually sympa thetic where no outside pressure la brought upon them, and It Is tho part of the charge of every Judge In a crimi nal ense to Inform the Jury that the prisoner at tho bar Is entitled to every reasonable doubt. If, therefore, any uncertainty existed on tbo point wheth er or not the prisoner was actually present at the time and place of the alleged crime he was entitled to the benefit of It. but little by little tho prosecuting officers became acquainted with tlie Identity and records of the professional a lib! witnesses. One or two were prosecuted. Others were cared off. The commercial value of the services of the others was decreas ed, and finally the whole nefarious business was abandoned, never since to be revived. 1 STAR THEATER P.

The soporific powers of warm milk re well known, but care should be taken that the milk does not quite boll. A 8 wed lull method of producing sleep is to wring out a handkerchief In Icy cold water and lay It across the eyes, when it Is said to act like magic. To many constitutions a warm bath taken Immediately before going to bed Is very soothing and produces drowsi ness, while an apple eaten as the luHt thing Is equally effective. The homely boiled onion Is another sovereign remedy, or an onion may lie sliced and eaten raw, the disagreeable taste being removed by taking a little sugar or a pinch of tea afterward. A Hindoo practice to Induce sleep Is to. take deep Inhalations, expelling the air alternately through each nostril, keeping the other closed with the fin ger. This has a wonderfully quieting effect.
