THE HAYWOOD VERDICT
The jury at Boise has declared Hay
wood to be innocent and, so far as tbis
newspaper is concerned, that ends the
matter. Most people wbo have followed
the case, long before the verdict came
from the jury, bad formed an opinion
one way or the other. There was much
In the ease that teaded to arose class
batred. Labor and capital entered
largely into the proceedings. The legal
talent, on both sides, was of a high
order; everything that could be done
both for and against the defendant was
done ? money was not spared by either
side ? everything was laid bare before
me twelve men who said he should go
free, they were at the theater of the
great trlai drama, they saw it all and
their opinion has to stand. They were
farmers, honest men? all of them were
long past middle life and were not likely
to be swayed by passion one way or the
other, and, very likely, they were as
good a jury as could be gotten any
where.
Nc one believes that Orchard acted
alone. Ke was prompted to do it. By
whom? The world may never know.
But that some one was connected with
him admits of no doubt? the defense
admitted it, dui claimed that the crime
wis committed for private vengeance.
This claim was later abacdoned by
them. The defense tried to show that
the Pinkerton detective agency, under
the tutelage of the Mine Owners Asso
ciation, had employed Orchard to kill
Steunsoberg, believing that by such a

crime so great a sentiment would be
created tbat the death of the uaioo
would result. Very few people, how
ever, wi'.l take any stock in this con*
tention. Steuneoberg, while be was
governor of Idaho, with the possib'e
exception of Governor Peabody, did
more to destroy the union than any
other cause. Can anyone believe thai,
after standing with them through the
Coeur d'Alene trouble, such a thing
would be attempted by the Mineown
ers V It is impossible. The jury has
declared that Uuywocl was no: con
nected with the affair. .Common sense
prohibits the acceptance of the c>>nten
x lion that the mine owners instigated it.
Thus both the Mineowners and the
Miners' Union are eliminated from the
case. There" was one portion of the
trial which has apparently been over
loosed but which appeals strongly to
The Alaskan:
Orchard was declared to be a mm of
diseased imagination, with a mania for
murder, posing as a great criminal and
finding merit for himself in crimes that
men of moral sanity abhor. This is not
unlikely. From the behavior of Orch
ard it is indeed most probable. His air
has been theatric. He seems to have
courted notoriety from the whole pub
lic by his confessions, as formerly he
had courted fame and confidence among
his familiars for his reHiness to under
take desperate crime, and it seems pro
bable that Orchard, buoyed up by that
melodramatio-ariminal spirit which
seems to have for years possessed him,
committed the murder to gratify that
craving for notoriety which his insane,
diseased mind yearned for, but, be tbat
as it may. It has been clearly establish
ed that Orchard assassinated poor Frank
Steunenberg and, although those who
were implicated with him may escape,
It is the duty of society to at once take
his life as a forfeit. The world is much
the worse for Harry Orchards' living
in It. ?
Somehow, from somewhere, a great
deal of garden stuff is being raised
around Skagwaj these days. This, too,
in apite of "Colonel Sutherland, of Ju
neau, "Who has large mining interests
in Alaska,'' and who claims that all
that can be raised here Is lots of hades
and then some.
After the Alsska newspapers have
passed upon "Colonel" Sutherland's
dissertation to the St. Paul newspaper
man, it may be that worthy will find he
would better have told his troubles to a
policeman than a reporter.

So Insane Man Leaped
From Fourth
Story
New York, Aug. 1? Eugene Howe, a
planer and polisher, becoming suddenly
crazed with the notion that he could
leap from a fourth story wludow and be
unhurt, made the jump last night.
Just as he was going out of the win
dow his wife caught him by the heels,
holding him for several minutes, but
fin illy was forced to let go. Howe was
picked up dead. He bore in his hand a
copy of Mrs. Eddy's "Science m.d
Health."
Dodged the Mustard Pot.
During the rehearsals of n panto
mime In h Scottish town (Glasgow, i
think; Glasgow has always been an
eventful place to me!) a child' was
wanted for the Spirit of the Mustard
1'ot. What more natural thuu that my
father should offer my services? I had
a shock of p:ile yellow hair, I was
small enough to lie put Into the prop
erty mustard put. and -the Glasgow
stage manager would easily assume
that I hail Inherited tnlent. My father
had acted with Mai-ready In the sto 1;
seasons both at Edinburgh and Gl.': -
gow and bore u very high repntntlo.i
with Scottish audiences. But the stage
manager anil father nllke reckoue 1
without their actress! When they trie 1
to put me Into the mustard pot I yelled
lustily aud showed more lung power
thau aptitude for the stage.
'Tut your child Into the mustard pot.
Mr. Terry." said the stage manager.
"Hang you and your mustard pot,
sir." satil uiy mortified father, "1 won't
frighten my child for you or any one
else."
But, all the same, he was bitterly dis
appointed at my tlrst dramatic failure,
and when we reached home he put me
In the corner to chasten me. "You'll
never make an actress!" he said, shak
ing a reproachful tiuger at me.? Ellen

Preferred the Baby's Voice.
A New York scientist, the father of
a large and -growing family, has his
troubles. One evening his youngest
was holding forth In her best style.
The mother could do nothing with the
child, so the man of science went to
the rescue.
"I think 1 can quiet little Flora," he
an Id. "There's no use humming to her
in that silly wuy. What she wants Is
real niuslo. The fact that I used to
sing In the glee club at Yale and sing
well, too. may make a difference."
Accordingly. <he professor took tho
child and. striding up aud down the
room, sang hi his test manner. He
had not tiulshed the second verse of his
soug when a ring was heard. The
door was opened, and' there stood a girl
of fourteen, who said:
"I'm one of the family that's Just
moved Into the flat next to yours.
There's a sick person with us, and he
says. If It's all the same to you, would
you mind letting the baby cry Instead
of singing to It*/"? Success.
Trees and the Air.
According to a reliable computation,
a single tree Is able through Its leaves
to purify the air from the carbonic acid
arising from the respiration of a con
siderable number of men, as many as
a dozen or a score. The volume of
carbonic acid exhaled by a human be
ing in the course of twenty-four hours
Is estimated at 100 gallons, and a sin
gle square yard of leaf surface, count
ing both the upper and under sides of
the leaves, can decompose about a
gallon of carbonic acid in a day.
