PROF. MITCHELL ON
MIRABEAU'S LIFE
A Most Interesting Address
Last Evening at the Wom?
an's Club,
The first of a series of lectures by Pro?
cessor S. C. Mitchell, under tho auspices
pf tho Ladies' Missionary Society of the
tPlrst Baptist Church, was given at tho
?Woman's Club last evening with great
success. Professor Mitchell addressed a
fine audience, with ''Mirabeau" for his
Bubject.
After sketching tho causes which led
?up to the calling of the States General,
May 5, 17S9, which event marked the
opening of title Preach Revolution, the
epoaker sketched brietly the previous Ufo I
of Mirabeau, the central ligure lu that I
stormy period. Mirabeau was born at
Blgnon March 9,140, about the tlmd mat'
Goethe saw tho light in tho home at
Frankfurt. His early Ufo was stained by
grave indiscretions, and ho spent much of
It In prison.
About tho time that Lafayette was
storming the heights of Yorktown, Mirar
. oeuti emerged from tho dungeon of Vln
eennes, tho court being led by Ihle fiery
Eloquence to rescind tho decree of death
against him, Cast oft by his irate father,
Mirabeau is found a penniless wanderer
In Belgium and England, doing hack work
for booksellers on all imaginable themes.
At Berlin ho was thrown with Frederic
the Great, and upon the impulse wrote a
book on tho Prussian monarchy. Such
was the tempestuous and Don Qulxotc
?'llko training of the young Hercules. Ho
was forty years of ago as, In spite of
his disreputable past, he stepped ?proudly
In the procession of Commoners in tibo
meeting of tho States General, a Parlia?
ment that tho French kings had not sum
omoncd for 17? yours, a fact which in It
Belt sufficiently Indicates tho absolutism
characterizing the French monarchy.
Though applauso greeted at the roll call
tho names of h11 other deputies, that of
Mirabeau was hooted.
' The lecturer lllien showed how Mlra
lieau, by his pollllcnl sagacity and Impe?
rious will, camo to dominate first this
assembly, later the court, and finally'thc
nation, curbing .-.the wild forces of tho
Revolution }is a,ski 11 ful charioteer directs
ills steeds. Tho policies of Mirabeau wero
then sketched. Ilo alone realized the
?weep of tho Niagara current in which
the French monarchy was caught, While,
?he Irresolute king was unwilling to be?
lieve that the precipice was Just ahead,
?nd while tho Jacobins yenrned for the
ellght of seeing the monarchy shoot the
Jails to break upon the rocks below,
Mirabeau sought to bring the monarchy,
by means of easy locks, to tho level of
liberty. In spite of the terrific forco of
I hat current, ho might yet have saved
I.hc ship of state had It not been for his
untimely death, within less than two
years from Jho hour bis hand was placed
mpon the helm. In dying ho said to Tal?
leyrand: "I tako with me tho last shreds
of the monarchy!'?a prophecy that events
noon made true.
? Mlrabeau's failure was due lo the fact
that the sins of his youtili dogged him,
destroying confidence in his character and
thereby making void tho wisdom of his
purposes, f.eiiliiR enough he had, but ?ill
Frunce said 10 him! "One thing thou lack?
est?the character of ? Washington,
Iladst thou but that, thou, too, wouldst be?
come tiho renter of a nation's cause."

A FAIR TEST.
See if Coffee ?s Really the Cause of Ails
Some cortee drinkers think they can get
on '?without being nick by limiting tho
allowance to just one cup a day, and
some people can stand this all right, but
others cannot;
There are many people where tho poison
of coffee Ik so marked and direct that
one iiii'p per day, If followed up .steadily,
will Hiirely and certainly put tho patient
In lied, or produce chronic; iixml disease
of one or more organs of the body.
When a person suspects corteo to be the
cause of'Ills or her titolimeli, liver, kidney,
bowel, heart or eye disturbance, it Is well
to test tho caso by leaving off coffee for
ten days und using Pestimi Pood 1,'oft'eo
In Its place. If there Is an Improvement
hi health, the proof Is absoluto, and com?
mon sense will nut orally guido any ono
who values comfort, case, content nnd
flblllty to do things, to ninki) tho chungo
permanent, and continuo the uso of Pos?
tum Instead of coffee, for it ?means that
Hie Is worth the living when ono can bu
well.
Now ami then will be found a degener?
ate who really prefers sickness of suine
sort to the comfort of good health, and
such persons will contlivio to uso articles |
of food and drink Uliat they know do not :
agree with theni.
In lilla land of liberty let every ono |
choose his own course, but one gre.it,
staring, pertinent, absolute fact stands
out, that poffeo does canso misery and dis?
tress to thousands of people who do not
suspect the cause, and the quilting of
cofieo and taking on Postum Food Cufteo
will retiliu the nvera&c- person to health
and comfort. This fact can be proven by
any coffee drinker.
Don't let the cook serve l'ostimi under
boilc' \liislHt that directions on ihn pack?
\ followed; then Postum Is dell
Vving u flavor all Its own, not
Win "drip coffee," far better than
yoffei'. with much the soft, mcl

Mr. .Tames B, Doherty, Commissioner
of Labor, who has the Interests of tho
worklngmcn of the State at heart, has
received tho copy of a paper containing
the decision of tho Supremo Court' of tho
Stato of Connecticut, holding tho Amal?

tuo sum of $25,000 for damages done to

all tho money In tho treasurlcos of tho
various street cur organizations, and tho
men aro very bino over tho situation.
Their constornuUon Is sympathized with
by Mr. Doherty, but ho linda his conso?
lation In tho fact that Virginians do not
act disorderly when they refuse to work
for their employers, wihom they believe
arc not treating them with proper con?
sideration. H Is well known that tho
street car mon lay the Norfolk trouble
mainly on the sympathizers of-tho men,
rather than tho street car men inemselves.
Ho thinks that the occasion will never
arise whon such a decision will bo nec?
essary in Virginia.

AMEND LAW AS TO JURORS
Hon. R. S. B. Smith Presents Some Im?
portant Bills in the House.
Two important, bills were Introduced by
Mr. Blackburn Smith, of Clarke, at the
session of the House of Delegates yester?
day. Tho now Constitution makes it
possible to have less than twelve jurors
In certain cases, and one of these billy
proscribes that a jury for the trial of
mlsdomnanor cases, except ??'** larceny,
shall consist of five jurors; and in cases
of petit larceny shall consist ? '" seven
Tho companion bill prescribes tl:', '. in any
case, unless ono of tho partie?: demand
that the caso be tried by a. Jury, the
whole matter of law and fn,et may be
heard and determined and judgment
given by the court, Tho jury shall con?
sist of twelve jurors, except that In ap?
peals from justices of the peace the jury
shall consist of live. In all other cases
pecuniary in their nature, whether
sounding In damages or being demands
for a debt, or In cases of suits for speci?
fic personal property, and tho matter
In controversy, exclusive of costs, Is los'n
in value or amount than live hundred
dollars, the jury shall consist of seven.
It Is also provided that juries In any case
may consist of such number less than the
numbers named above by consent of par?
ties, entered of record. The verdicts
found under these, limitations are to
have the same effect as If found by u
Jury of twelve.
Tlieso bills meet some widespread ob?
jections preferred against the present
jury service, but it remains to be seen
whether this time-honored institution of
the government can bo disturbed In any
particular.
