New Orleans, March 23.-The
election fraud cases were resumed
and the testimony closed. The
defense presented f. ID. Charbonette, u
city hall employe, who worked in the
registration office last August, and
then issued the duplicate registration
papers, without the applicant taxing
oath. The original was lost. He
didn't know of any other clerk doing
this. owen Short, father Of the ac-
cused didn't act as election officer.
Only went to poll the vote. He re-
cicved no appointment, but handed it
TO his son Owen. The accused is Jno.
Short, Rouse, counsel for the de
Tense, stated he proposed to prove by
the production of the book itself that
on entire duplicate of registration
of one of the wards existed,
| in order to show how
easy ii Is for parties to manufacture
fraudulent registration papers. In
contradiction Is the testimony OF Peter
Gravis for the defense who stated
since the poll books were brought back
after the election they had never been
out of his possession. j. V. Guillottt
city administrator testified last Octo

books with copy Of the list of regis

SENATOR TABOR was in the senate Il

does the day when he learned that his

"a day or two, and correspondent
says while here the senator took II

sort of visitors chiefly. Taking him
into the senate chamber, Tabor
pointed out with mingled humor and
pride how he had left his mark on the

Great Expositions.
Demorest's Monthly Magazine.

z I r. d e s
Chicago has just been holding
an exhibition Of railway machinery and
appliances. 1t has been successful in
every way. We could not begin to emu
merate the marvellous features of this
unique display of the devices employed
IN our great railway system. tits safe
to say, that no such exposition could
have been held in Europe. We have
to-day more miles of railway than all
Europe, and more ingenuity has been
expended among us in providing means
OF luxurious travel than in the Old
World. There is now under way at
Louisville, KY, an exposition of the
industries OF the South, which is to last
for one hundred days. 1t will surprise
Northern people to learn of the progress
IN the industrial arts which the South
has made since the abolition of slavery.
Its cotton fabrics now compete with
those of Old and New England, its iron
and the tools made therefrom are be-
ginning to sharply contest the suprem-
acy of Pennsylvania and Ohio, while
its miscellaneous industries have made
the most surprising progress. The
South deliberately entered upon a war
to extend slavery, but that institution,
happily, is no more, and no section Of
the country has greater reason to re-
joice than the region south of Mason
and DiSon's line.

spectra a much larger numberl Of met

afford evidence of compounds of met

by considering that, as the temperature

been accustomed to regard as their

Defective Criminal Laws.
Youths Companion.

Our criminal laws are defective in, at
least, one respect. They do not provide
sufficient atonement for the man who
suffers from their maladministration
Light has been thrown upon this defect
by a recent occurrence in the State of
New York.
Some months ago, one William Pen
dergrast was arrested for attempting to
pass silver dollar, alleged not to be
genuine, On lis trial, IAN expert of
twenty five years standing swore that
the coin was bad cOuntarfeit.D So
poor Pendergrast was convicted by the
jury and the judge sentenced him to
the Auburn prison for one year.
After the trial and when the man had
gone TO his cell, a happy thought struck
some one. Hethought it was strange that
Pendergrast's counsel had not hit upon
the idea; it would be expedient to as
certain from the highest authority
whether the coin was really counter
felt.
1t was sent to Mr.. Brooks, the chief of
the Secret service at Washington. and
he pronounced it genuine silver dollar.
Inen the president, being appealed to,
senta pardonto Pendergrast, releasing
him from imprisonment for a crime of
which he was innocent. 1 a
OF course, no one will pity the humil-
lated "expert of twenty-five years.
standing whose positiveness and igno-
rance consigned an innocent man to a
felon's cell. But is it in accordance
with The fitness of things, even in this
world of imperfect administration, that
Pendergrast should suffer wrong and
not be compensated for it?
If the state had taken his property, it
would have paid him damages. 1t
takes away that which is more than
property, his good name and his liberty
and leaves him to whistle for compen-
sation.

Cat This out and Keep 1t.

Franklin Dire, highly respectable
and intelligent farmer, OF Galena, Kent
county, Nd, gives the following as a
sure cure for the bite of a mad dog. As
will be seen, he has tested it, with the
most gratifying result:
Elecampene is plant well known to
most persons, and is to be found in ma
ny Of our gardens. Immediately after
being bitten, take one and half ounces
of the root of the plant-the green roots
of the plants are perhaps preferable,
but the dried will answer, and will be
found in our drug stores, and was used
by me-slice or bruise, put into a pint of
fresh milk, boil down to half of pint,
strain, and when cold drink it, fasting
at least six hours afterward. The next
morning repeat the dose, fasting, using
two ounces of the root. On the third
morning take a third dose, prepared as
the last and this will be sufficient. 1t
is recommended that after each dose
nothing be eaten for at least six hours.
I have son who was bitten by mad
dog eighteen years ago, and four others
in the neighborhood were also bitten !;
they took the above dose, and are alive
and well to this day. And have known
a humber of others who were bitten and
applied the same remedy.

FALL IN THE PRICE OF Matches
Matches were purchasable yesterday at
almost every grocery in the city for a
cent box. The sales increased large
ly, and it was not easy to supply the
demand. Peddlers who formerly had
sold matches at two cents a box. and
found the price was too high to suit the
econmic Ejves Of the farmers in the dis
tricts they visited, confidently laid in
large supplies Of matches at eighty
cents a gross.
The Diamond Match Company usu
ally fixes the price for matches in this
city. Before the new law had gone in
to operation the wholesale rate was
1926 a gross. It was then reduced to
fifty cents gross, but it was found
that at such figure no profit could be
made. Yesterday it was raised to eigh-
ty cents gross, and the enormous de-
mand for matches continues. IN. !, Sun.

The verdict-in the Polk Case.

! Picayune.
The verdict of the Jury in the case of
ex-Treasurer Polk will doubtless be
received with surprise in many quar-
ters. 1t was considered doubtful
whether a verdict of guilty could be
found at all, and probably very. few
here anticipated so severe a finding
twenty years in the penitentiary, and a
| fine to the full amount OF the embezzle-
mcnt. 1t has been long since any citi-
zen of this country standing SO high
officially and socially has received a
| sentence conveying at once so much OF
disgrace and so much of punishment.
Distinguished offenders have for many
years enjoyed SO complete an immunity
from the terrors of the law that the
public has almost ceased to hope Tor
legal protection against the outrages OF
| that class.
It is exceedingly difficult to reach by
judicial procedure the crimes OF veal
thy and well-connected persons in any
part of the United States, and it is re-
markable that this difficulty should he
more seriously felt in Democratic Am
erica than in aristocratic Europe. We
cannot account for it as the necessary
result OF the jury system because that
system obtains in other countries, ana is
found to work admirably for the yindica
ton OF law and the protection of society.
The evil lies deeper. A fairly repre-
sentative jury will express generally the
average public sentiment and sense of
justice, and where juries are habltually
over lenient it is because public opinion
is over tolerant and lax.
