THE SERIES of picture-puzzles published in the JUDGE which has just closed has been the greatest success of the kind the Judge company ever had, The reader's attention is called to the advertisement elsewhere of a new series, with additional arrangements which will enable all who enter into the contest to share in the profits involved. ‘The plan is original and unique, and will furnish harmless entertainment to the JUDGE'S old friends and a host of new-comers many of whom will remain with us after the contest is closed. Advertisers will bear in mind that these puzzles in- crease our regular circulation by tens of thousands, S NATOR MASON is right. The senate is a body in which the minority rules. <a OMPLIMENTS to Salisbury, and will he kindly start his var in South Africa defore General Miles starts for home? ENGLAND having imported four million extra bottles of cham- pagne for the jubilee, the rush and crush are naturally stupendous. HE KNEIPP CURE would shave more followers but for the fact that its originator caught cold while taking it and nearly perished of pneumonia SENATOR BRICE proposes Democratic harmony in Ohio by giving the silver men all the offices; but that will be harmony with the sound-money men left out. ‘THE BACCHANTE of the Boston public library has been very properly kicked out of that establishment. A bull is not a bad kind of animal, but he has no business in a china-shop. Weary—" W'y?" ‘wuz too skeerce ter be used ez fuel. S THE YERKES TELESCOPE will bring the planet Jupiter within a million miles of the earth, hadn't our jingoes better begin prepara- tions looking to the annexation of the same? HE CHRISTIAN POWERS have put the cross below the crescent. That is loving the enemy with a vengeance; and as the cheek involved is immense it may not be necessary to turn the other. cee $+ MONEY is a good thing,” says ex-Mayor Hewitt to the boys: "but if you have too much money you will not be a good citizen.” This is too indefinite, Mr, Hewitt will recall the remark of the reflective Indian, “Too much of anything is too much, but too much fire-water is just enough.” THE PUBLIC PRINTER at Washington recently testified that he “could not appoint his own cashier, who handled between three mill: ion and four million dollars annually and gave no bond to the governmen while he himself was under two-hundred-thousand-dollar bonds. That is one folly out of hundreds under the civil-service law. PERSONALLY INTERESTED.

ALBERT EDWARD cannot possibly live long enough to equal the length of his mother's official life. He ought to have begun to be- have himself forty years ago; but we suppose he was too busy and nobody had time to remind him of it. CANADIAN PURITANISM. TORONTO PERMITS street-cars to run on Sunday; and we learn from this fact that the barbarism of suppressing them on that day has existed for many years. It is not fully known here whether the vehicles are suppressed in other Canadian towns. If they are, we shall oppose annexation to the end of time, or rather that of the blue-law tyranny. THE UNCERTAINTY OF GENIUS, GTEPHEN CRANE writes so remarkably well in giving his experiences after the Florida shipwreck that he ought to hit himself on the back of his head for the slush he perpetrated directly after his Tenderloin expe- riences. His description, his pathos and his fun are apparently spontane- ous, and are brighter than any other matter in the lighter of recent litera- ture. HIS LITTLE BREACHES OF PROPRIETY. JOHN HAY has presented ten volumes of his works to the mayor of Southampton. The colonel means well, but all the other mayors are hastening preparations for their vacations. They think, for instance, that he has written nothing but dialect verse. We trust there will be no rupt- ure; but we said long before his appointment that Dr. Depew would be a better man in his place. A WOMAN'S TRIUMPH. JUST AT PRESENT thecivilized world is on the side of the good wife, good mother and good queen who has served her people for sixty ; years. There is not a break in her fair record; and of what male mon- arch can that be said? Mrs. Stanton and Miss Anthony ought to head the jubilee procession, blowing three trumpets apiece and shouting the victory of their cause between blows. JUSTICE AS AGAINST SALVATION. TRE DEVIL has something of a triumph in a legal decision in this town that the salvation army cannot damage the value of prop- erty and murder sleep without be- ing punished for it; but we must say that he is entitled to it, and no honest_man will object to giving him his due. There are gentler ways, and it is not absolutely nec- essary to kill off a whole block for the purpose of saving a few outside and uninterested souls, A COLD-BLOODED CHRISTIAN. THE REVEREND MR. COSSUM, who says the Baptist church must take no more money from Mr. Rockefeller because his hands are un- clean, is too fearfully and wonderfully conscientious. If all the money nec- essary to the church were subjected to such conditions before acceptance the church would starve, for no man is perfectly pure. Again, Mr. Rocke- feller may be as good a man as any other church-giver; and still again, if he isn’t, Mr. Cossum refuses him the only practical method of repentance and sacrifice and does his best to chuck him into the outer darkness—and that's so far from being Christ-like that it is downright wickedness. fen THE LAW AS A TYRANT. JUSTICE DEAN of the supreme court of Pennsylvania thinks the shirk~ ing of jury duty by the average citizen is a high crime. “I would,” he says, “take the banker from his desk, the editor and professor from their chairs, the preacher from his pulpit, and put them in the jury-box. Instead of leaving to them the sole part of criticising and denouncing courts and juries, I would make jury duty as imperative and as certain as payment of taxes on a house and lot.” Criticising courts is evidently a high crime, too, in the opinion of this gentleman. He would give the law immunity from everything but its own authority, and make the citizen a serf to contribute to its glory. Is it fair to deny the citizen his liberty? Is it really a duty for him to give up his own business in order to attend to that of other persons? Why not have professional jurors as well as judges and lawyers, and pay them a fair price for the work they do? comicbooks.com
