She loves To ll,rt with Others
Will stalwart Sculls a'rr claim her hand I?
How gladly would understand
Her crew a'e naught hut brothers
Her hat with lilies Is hedight,
Her voice is low. her laugh ia light,
Her figure slight and girly.
How cheerfuliy I'd take a trip,
With such pilot for my ship,
And sail away from Hurleyl

A snow-whte ruff around her throat,

The round Of amusements which Mr..

By a o'clock the King WAS completely

Mr.. Mackay offered to pay all his funeral
expenses If he died, which generous offer
made him many friends among the
Swedes. The Prince of Wales telegraphed
for an invitation to the ball, but the
American millionaire, remarking that

clined to issue an invite. When HIS

were thrown into the basin of the foun-
tain by Mr.. Msokay, who stands over six
feet in his socks, and ia called the tstrong

TIE NYIREGHTHAZA TRIAL.
The Jury Finds the Accused Jews
NOT GufIfy


LONDON, Aug. 3.-The trial OF the ten
Jews at Nyireghyhazs, Hungary, who
were charged with numbering Esther
Solymosi, Christian girl, in the syna-
gogue at fiszs-Bzlsr in order to procure
her blood to mix in the passover bread,
has been concluded. A verdict OF not
guilty was returned.
The trial referred to was begun in
June last and has been notorious
throughout for perjury, religious bitter
ness, intimidation of witnesses and an
exhibition Of ignorance and superstition,
tie existence Of which at this day it ia
hard to realize. The chief witness for
the prosecution was a 15-year-old. boy
named Moritz, son of Joseph Scharf, the
keeper of the Jewish temple, and one
of the accused. He testified to See
ing, through key hole, the murder Of
the girl, and described, with minutenesss
OF detail, how she had been bled and her
body turned over in position to sccele
rate the flow of the blood from the
wound. He stood a long eross-examins-
ton without being confused, but it was
subsequently demonstrated that it was
impossible for him to have Witnessed
what he claimed to have seen, from
his position at the keyhole, even had the
murder taken place. Whether the girl
ia dead or alive has been disputed ques-
tion through the trial, and the evidence
has been so conflicting and suspicious
that it is believed the whole affair was a
trumped up charge growing out of hos
tility to the Jews because OF their
religion.
