Those five words contain a message that causes genuine sorrow In the hearts of the people of this city and county. "Uncle Joe-' he was to us all, the kinship being or the heart, the fa nillar name always spoken in affec tioa and respect. Uncle Joe received only what he first gave. No larger heart ever throbbed In a human breast. Like Abou Ben Adem, he loved his fellow man, and made that love manifest In hi3 dally life. Always kindly and cheerful, ljls face was a bene diction to many weary workers. Did you ever hear Uncle Joe say an un kind word about anybody? The chiefest among his many vir tues was his tQ'Jghtfulness the rarest as well as the choicest gift that is given man. He always did the right thing n the right way at the right time. 8upreme Court Desision, Among the case3 decided In the su preme court, Octiber 19, waa that of Peter Sullivan, appellant vs. J. M.

Life aboard a submarine ts not so unpleasant or dangerous as one might Imagine, but it is entirely different from that led on other tyes of ships. The crew, usually consisting of two officers SDd fourteen wen. is selected from volunteers after a most rljjld medical examination. Service rarely extends beyoud period of two years, and real work on a submarine la limit ed to about tbree weeks In the sum mer and one In tbe winter. Daring the remainder of tbe time the men live on a ''parent" ship or on shore. Tbe boat la, however, put through tbe various evolutions once every week. Tbe first Impression on entering submarine Is one of beat, tbe air ltelug rather close snd heavy, but the men soon become accustomed to It. 8tnnd Ing room sae U about six and one balf feet, sod toward both ends the boat tapers away alnioat to a point, There are no portholes. The bntcbwsy In the conning tower Is the only aper ture. Under water electric light Is used. There are. ven.filators, bnt when. the boat dives they are shut off with a cap. I.lfe on hoard a submarine Is essen tially "In rommon.M The way men snd many objects are crammed to irethor in a narrow space ta almost miraculous. Cnoklim l done In an electric oven, and no foods which have a strong or dlsiicrreahlp anicll are used. Of course smoking Is allowed only when on the surface snd then on the bridge. Ow hifr to the character of the men select ed discipline Is perfect. There Is wnroely any noise In a sub marine when sulmiorpod. The jrreatest depth the 1mm t descends does not ex ceed thirty foot. At thnt depth her lod Is nlmut 8 knots. The air Is quite "tires I battle" for fnur hours, but In case of emergency tfie crew can re main closed In for seventy hours with out danger. The men love the life. With the offi cers they nre ns one family, ahnrlng everything equally. Including the dan gers, which nre not much to penk of. provided every one does his duty. When the went her Is fnlr there ts very little rolling. In rnngh weather the men escape knocking about by holding on to "steadying lines."-New Tork rress.

Tbe working of tbe British jury sys tem exhibits a marked contrast with that of our own. It ts possible that my experience In British courts was ex ceptional, but In not a single instance did I see a juror challenged or reject ed. In all of the courts requiring ju ries tne necessary number of men were present, and they were sworn In without question. In the sheriff's dep uty court In Scotland the presiding judge gave notice to the jury that be expected to adjourn tbe court at 2 o'clock and stated that If they could all remain until tbat bour he would at once dismiss the men wbo had been called for a second panel. The jurors conferred together and decided to re main 111! 1 o'clock, whereupon tbe judge notified tbe other men to appear at 1230. The one jury Impaneled for the rooming session rendered six ver dicts In cases Involving prosecutions for thefts, fraud snd burglary. In-the court of quarter sessions at Taunton. England, I saw a single jury in one day render eleven verdicts. I found that It was customary In tbe several sorts of court that I sttended for tbe same jury to act In successive esses. In no Instance did I see a jury leave their seats to make up tbelr ver dict. Usually the issue before them was made so plain that all who gave attention knew In advance what tbe decision would be. I made note of an exceptional Instance of delay wben tbe court was forced to wait nine minutes for tbe report of the jury. In Ibis case tbe judge who gave the Instructions was himself in doubt as to what the verdict ought to be. A Scottish jury consists of fifteen pel-sous, and a majority may render a verdict. In England tbe number is twelve, and tinanlnilty Is required. But 1 noted no difference as to practical results In the two countries. The twelve men in the English jury were as prompt and certain In their action as were tbe eight out of fifteen In tbe Scottish Jury. McClure's Magazine.
