WASHINGTON, May % -Ingersoll,
for the defense, closed his argument
to-day. He made a rapid sum nary OF
the evidence as 1t appeared to him, and
concluded as fJllowt:
"Now. gentlemen, the responsibility
Ia with you. The fate of these men
Is In your hands. In your keeping Ia
everything they love. Everything they
hold dear is IN your power, With this
fearful responsibility you have no
right to listen to the whispers of Gus
.%iclon; you have no right to hearken
to the promptings of fear. Beware of
prejudice. Look to the testimony alone.
Bsnot convinced by argument. Listen
not to eti;hets instead Of facts. r.
call every argument made In
thls case, put the evidence On
the scale, and then have the
honor and manhood to sly which
scale goes. We ask from you the
mercy Of an honest verdict. That i,
all We ask Tae verdict Is your hon
eaty. Il is for you to say whether all
these defendants nhall live with honor
among their fellow citlzsne; whether
they shall 1.-Two In free cir or be taken
from their wives, from their children,
from their firesidss, from all they
hold most dear. 1t is for you TO say
whether they shail be clothed with
honor or with shame; whether their
day shall set without a single STAG In
all the sky Of eternal night; whether
they shall be branded as criminals
after all they have suffered; after they
have been pursued by the government
as no defendants before have been pur.
sued. 1t is for you to say whether
their homes shall be blasted b.

They would er ~ thsir victory; they

How to Kill Rats.

Marvelously cunning are rats in REQ
ognizing devices for their capture
Toasted cheese and rank fish are among
the bats commonly employed, since the
far penetrating odor of these lures them
to the spot where the trap is set; but in
places where they are SO plentiful that
their resort may be counted upon, moth
ing is SO likely to induce them to enter
as bit Of fruit or lettuce, of which they
are passionately fond. Another very
successful dodge for catching them in
bulk is to strew the room literally with
some highly-seasoned, thirst-producing
food-salt cheese, for instance, or pep
percorns and hempseed, and arrange q
bucket of water in such a way, either
by means of a fitting board or creased
rim, that when they 60 to drink they
may tumble in and be unable to get out
again. A friend of mine asserts that no
bait is SO attractive to them as simple
paper (they certainly seem to be very
fond of it), and suggests that they would
greedily devour blotting- paper impreg-
mated with some fluid poison disguised
with their favorite oil of anise. How
this might be l do not know; but I
should doubt it, considering what acute
analytical noses these little toxocologists
have, but it is worth trying. Deer and
such-like animals are highly absorbent

they will rarely enter; they are suspi-
cious of poison, and if they are beguiled
into taking it they get away behind
bulkheads and into other inaccessible
places to die, and SO breed pestilence.
Anything with a very strong admixture
of arsenic will preserve the bodies from
corruption, unless they get wet; butnot
one rat in a hundred will even sniff at
such compound, and its trial generally
results in the poisoning of every domes-
ticated animal on board, and ends by its
finding it's way into the coffee one morn

sionally, however, rats will make amis-
take, and it is no uncommon thing to
pick them up dead in the holds of ships
which carry dried hides, in the prepare

used.-AW the Year Round.
