earnestness, that the long list of homicides
in this State was not dee to the
pistil, to whiskey, to lack of power in
judges to charge juries as to fact, but
in the jury box. Put men of character
and those having a solemn realization
of their duties on juriesand homicides
would become fewer. The only way to
do this would be to have men expecting
no public favor for jury commissioners.

A WIDOWS AFFECTIONS.
t^Jndged by an Illinois Jury to Be
Worth Over *34,000.
In most breach of promise cases the
imonnt of damages asked for Is ten
times as much as the damages sustained
or hoped to be received. But a Jury
recently gave a verdict in a case at
Danville, 111.. In which the affections
of the fair plaintiff were adjudged to
be worth over $54,000. This is probably
the largest award for slighted
COBB^T. . V
love ever made In a breach of promise
court. The story of the circumstance
out of which the case arose Is an Important
one.
John H. Germand has long been considered
the wealthiest man in I>anvllle,
111. He was a real estate ov.-ner
for several years and his proj>erty
brought in large returns. He bad
many tenants, among whom was Mrs.
Carrie Corbett, a beautiful widow of i
35 years, who lived with her little 12year-old
son. Germand visited her
once a month, but claims hbi visits
were at first of a purely business nature.
One day he went to the house
to give some Instruction* to some
painters who were at work rhen Mrs.
Corbett asked him to conn into her
apartment This he did and the two
sat upon the sofa. This wax the beginning
of a long courtship, lri the course
of which Germand took her out for
carriage drives, and on rteveral occasions
they journeyed to distant towns
together, and once both Went to Chicago
on a vacation trip. Of course
they were always property chaperoned.
It went along this way for a long
time, and then came a trip that led to
n disruption. Mr. Gerin.ind was going
to the convention of Christian Endeavorers
in San Franclsf.'o. Mrs. Corbett
expressed her desire to go along, and
her sweetheart bought the ticket and
*Wa A.fV*A? lno(/1<mtoia a# 4Ka twin
|miU IUC VAUCi lUVIU'wilMUO Vt VUC Ul|f?
On tt? way Mrs. Cc-rbett paid particular
attentions to a delegate on tbe
train, and carried an a flirtation with
him all the time. /Germand was Jealous,
and so the trouble came on which
culminated In thIt breach of promise
case as above Indicated. Germand Is
71 years old aD<y has been three times
a widower. Thfe amount of the damage
allowed wis a surprise to alleven
to Mrs. 0orbett herself. But before
the trial)Germand had disposed
of most of hlfji property, so that In all
probability the judgment of the court
will stand unsatisfied.
Dixie funlUlax Mill Horsed. '
The Dixie.knitting mill, In Atlanta, Ga.,
the largest hosiery factory In the State, was
destroyed by fire. S. A. Mag 111 says that the,
mill will be rebuilt and the opportunity will'
be embraced to organize a strong stock
company And make it tbe largest mill of
the kind in the Booth. Tbe capacity will
be quadrupled, giving employment to about
160 people. The mill has been a paying enterprise
from the beginning. "
