L aw lo r and virtu ally all o f the attorneys engaged in the tria l o f P atrick Calhoun, enlivened a day otherw ise devoted to presentation o f routine testim ony. Assistant D is tric t A ttorn ey Heney started the dis pute by charging that Earl Rogers, an attorney fo r the defense, had been sm ilin g at certain members o f the jury. There was an angry response from John T. B arrett, o f the defense, who declared that the prosecution had un necessarily prolonged the trial by the introduction o f triv ia l matters. The subject o f the ju rors’ smiles was about to be dismissed, when John J. B arrett reopened the issue by sayin g: “ I do not think we should be lec tured by the d istrict attorney into a state o f seriousness regarding this case. The prosecution has spent weeks in a presentation o f m atter that is r i diculous, tr iv ia l and ludicrous, attem pt ing by the length o f tim e devoted to th eir presentation to make the jury think them worthy o f cons;deration.” F or these remarks B arrett was sternly reprimanded by Judge Lawlor, who told the attorney that i f he made another such reference he would send him to ja il. “ I f the court intends to punish me ” B arrett answered, “ then what abcut this man s ittin g over here, who has re peatedly been perm itted to insult the court, the ju ry and the attorneys?” Heney at once took up the fra y and shouted: “ These are the ebullitions o f a man who was appointed to office by the crookedest m ayor the c ity ever had, Eugene E. S ch m itz.” “ W hy, you ’ ve been m ixed up in more crooked work than any man in this courtroom ,” said B arrett. “ Mr. Heney has never insulted the court,"thundered Judge Law lor sternly. “ He has certain temperamental qual ities which I have observed and made allowance for. He was stricken down in this court w h ile engaged in the per formance o f his duty, and resumed his a c tiv itie s at an early date. Mr. Heney is laboring under embarassments which should appeal to the humanity o f any individual. T h at circumstance appeals to the court i f it does not appeal to counsel on the other sid e.” S T IR S S O U T H E R N A N G E R . Senator Dolliver Breaks Appointment fo r S p eech at C ollege.

The turfite's temple never shuts; the fell war between backers and layers never ceases. Eager murmurs are heard midst that rulture-faced crowd. “ He went very bad in the market this morning.” "T e ll me they offered threes, at the clubs.” “ What’s wrong with him?” “ What against The Saint?” and similar hurried interrogatories fall on the cnr. Now a brougham, now a well-ap pointed cab, whose driver throws the reins from his lavender-kidded hands to the next tiger ; now the hansoms of ordinary- life drop their respective occupants at the small doorway. The Subscription Room Is fu ll; round the big circular desks mueh paying and receiving is going on. The sofas round ihe room are crowded with loungers ; the tessellated pavement is trod by a fluctuat ing mnss, who ebb and flow to different points as some one or two large specula tors vociferate the odds, or cease to do so. It is the settling day after the broken week at Newmarket, and sinister rumors are rife about the first favorite for the Tw o Thousand. He has stood at five to two Mr a long while, but report says that three to one has been laid and of fered, to any amount of money, at the rac ing clubs this morning. Half-past four— fatal hour for many a favorite at Tattersall's, the adjustment of last week's accounts—-is over, and the ring has time to turn its attention to forthcoming events. “ Three to one against Coriander for the Guineas,” is vociferated in more than one quarter. Nothing positive seems known about the horse; but a panic has set in, and hackers stand aloof from a wager that yesterday they would have jumped at. Some fpw adventurous men take the increased odds to a little, but speedily repent as they find the disposition to lay that price rapidly increasing. At this juncture I ’ earman, attired in deep mourning, entered the Subscription Room. It was but a few days since hia father's funeral, and, to do him justice, he would not have been there had not a friend telegraphed to him early in the day the onslaught that was being made on Coriander. Business must be attended to, he argued, whether racing or otherwise, and knowing his horse to be perfectly well, he ran up at once to town to stop this demonstration against it. Foremost nmong the opponents of ihe favorite was a big, corpulent north coun tryman, who enjoyed the reputation of by no means throwing his money away. In turf parlance, when he persistently bet against a horse, “ he knew something.” “ Here’s 1,000 to 300 against Corian d er!” vociferated Mr. Plyart, for the sec ond or third time. “ Put it down to me,” said Pearra&n, quietly. “ Yes, sir. W ill you take it twice?" Pearman nodded. The bookmaker pencilled It into his note book. The crowd, attracted by the fact of Coriander's owner coming to the rescue, had surged round them; but no sooner had Mr. Plyart completed his memorandum, than he reiterated his hoarse war cry of "Here's 1,000 to 300 against Coriander!” n shout in which he was immediately joined by two or three other large speculators. "Put it down again, Plyart," said Pear man. grim ly: and now, inspired with con fidence by the way in whirl) his owner had supported him, several backers in vested on the favorite. For a little, it seemed as if Coriander would rally in the market; but the layers of odds far exceeded the backers; and finally came forth Mr. Plyart'» ominous shout of “ 4,000 to 1.000 against the favor ite for ‘The Guineas !’ “ “ I ’ll take th a t!” cried Pearman, though his astonishment knew no bounds; and, the bookmaker noted it, he remarked, with a sneer, "Y ou ’ll find my horse bad to get out of on the Tw o Thousand day. 1 don’t think vou will hedge, except at a loss." “ Perhaps so, sir— perhaps s o ; but I'll bet you an even hundred he don’t start.” "D one! and I ’ll make it .5,000, if you like.” 'N o ; you might start him on three legs. I won't risk more than a hundred on his not starting : but here's 4,000 to 1,000 he don't win, once more." Sam Pearman shook his head, and, at 11 events for once in his life, walked out cf Tattersall's thoroughly puzzled. Ha knew his horse to be perfectly well, he had ->■ vn him that morning. As far as he had tried him, he had never tried a three- year-old .better. What were these ring meD going on? They make great mistakes at times, these members of the magic circle. Their brethren of the Stock Exchange occasion ally get the worst of it also; but, as a rule, either backers or shareholders are justified in feeling alarm at a persistent assault on what their money may be ¡n- vcst«d in. The decline of the favorite for a b!g race In the market is hardly so dis astrous to the world in general as bank shares dropping twenty per cent below premium. Before Pearman left London the next day. he was aware, from various sources, that Coriander's status in tha letting waa «till further shaken, and that as much aa five to one had been offered arninat the crack of forty-eight hoars ago. He thought of it all the way home, and frit mors utterly bewildered than he had ever done before In the whole of hie t0rf experieu«*. Could Sam Pearman have been pretest at a conference held In Silky Dallison'» root's, beuveen that astute gentleman and Grenville Rose, though he would have been stilt a long way from enlightened on [lie subject, yet h«' would have learned a good deal. It was the Friday night before Pint eventful Monday. Grenville had re turned from Glinn the day previous. A mouldy old parchment lay on the table between them; it had apparently been consulted and thrown aside. “ Rumford says the deed is perfectly good, and Mr. Denison is quite certain there hat been no enfranchisement. That-« the case, tiren, isn’t it?" Rose nodded, and Mr. Dallison for a few ’ minutes puffed meditatively at hit cigar. “ IN ell," he continued, “ the law part I leave to you. 1 presume that is all rigb*. Uumford’a opinion is quite good enough to go on, and old Denison, you say, waa quite clear there has never been an en franchisement. Odd there should not have been; but no doubt Pearman de funct was quite unaware of the existence of our friend here;" and Dallison jerk ed his head in the direction of the parch ment "H e wasn’t the man to leave such a blot in his game if he knew it. Though for the matter of that It was no blot so long as he lived. Now, look here, I must trust to you for the legal work ing of this affair; the racing part I can manage. W e’ ve got Sam Pearman in a regular hole, and, better still, he doesn't know it. I can make probably a good bit of money out of this, both for you and myself, without any risk whatever; but ulterior events must decide that. Mr, Denison, at all events, must make a good b it; but without hurting his interests, in fact rather furthering them, you and I might pick up some five thousand pounds apiece. Do you understand?” “ Not In the least," replied Grenville. "W ell, there's not much necessity you should. Leave that to me; but you must work the legal machinery as I direct. Can you put It in motion by Wednesday or Thursday?” "L e t’s say Thursday, certain," rejoin ed Rose. “ Very good, that will do; but don’ t let’s have any mistakes about it.” “ All right,” nodded the other. “ I ’ll guarantee that, and go down myself.” ’’Good. You told me the stake you were playing for, to start with, and as you are in real earnest about winning a wife, I think one may trust you. I shall com mence operations at once. I'll see Plyart the bookmaker to-morrow, and put the first part of the program in his hands. We're going, you and I, to lay about a couple of thousand each against Cori ander ; and Pm going to give him free license to do as much as he likes for him' self.” (T o be continued.) IS OUR C L IM A T E C H A N G IN G ? R e c o r d s S h o w t h e SI m l l a r l t y o f Sea so n s— P l a n e t a r y Chanters S lo w . It Is remarkable how memory exag gerates the events of our youth. For this reason elderly people have always Insisted and probably always will In sist that the winters.now are weak and colorless compared to those of fifty years ago, when the snow fell on Thanksgiving day and lasted till the first of March and “ the ponds were solid Ice to the bottom" and the sound was frozen from shore to shore. As there are no records to prove their as sertions, they are positive of their facts, and respect for nge and a dispo sition to believe that the present is rather a commonplace period compared with past centuries, prevent younger people from contradicting them. As far back as accurate records haw lieen kept the climate of the northern hemisphere bus not changed, the Hart ford (Conn.) Times says. From 1872 to 1907 the mean average winter tem perature of the city of New Y’ ork has ranged from 40.7 degrees In 1890 to 26.4 In 1904. There have been cold win ters and comparatively warm winters, but the average of the first three years of the period is precisely the same as that of the last three— 31 degrees. The cold winters are sprinkled In at ramlom, and do not become more nu merous or severe ns time goes on. They nre evidently due to local and temporary causes, probnbly to the di rection and force of the winds or the shifting of the currents of the ocean, which Inst, indeed, are affected by the winds. For twenty-four years, from 1854 to 1878, the mean winter tempera ture of eight of our principal c'ties was almost exactly the same as that of the next twenty-four years. The later period gives an average only .015 of a «legree higher, a gain too small to be beyond the possibility of error. It would seem. then, that our winters are not growing colder. This Is what might be expected from the fact that the northern hemisphere receives the same amount of heat from the sun every year, because its average distance Is the same. I f the sun Is cooling down the rate Is so slow that many thousand years must pass before the loss of heat from the great life- giving sources Is perceptible. As a rule the great changes in the physical uni verse are very rlelibernte. and. like the tides, move first In one direction and then back. NVe know that the arctic regions once enjoyed a temperate cli mate, and that Connecticut was once covered with att ice-sheet like Green land. Astronomers and geologists are divided as to how many millions of years ago these climatic changes took place. The orbit of the earth is ellip tic, so that we are now some three million miles nearer the sun In winter than we are In summer. The precession of the equinoxes will bring It about in time that the earth Is farther from the sun In winter Ilian In summer. As our planet moves faster the nearer It Is to the sun. the result will Is* short, hot summers and long, eold winters. The amount of heat received by the earth in a year will be the same, but the effect will be very different, for there will not be time enough to melt the winter Ice, which will slowly gain until we hare another glacial age In the northern hemisphere. At the same time the antarctic continent will be freed from its Ice cap by the long summer, and become the seat of civilization. Our climate will change In a million or so years, but at present Is fairly stable on the average.___________________ About once a year the Queen of Slam wears a state robe which Is considered the most magnificent garment In tb* world.
