Star Routes.

Washington, 12.-In the star route
trial tbs morning, eX-Atturney General
MacVesgh was placed upon the stand,
and testified TO conversation with Rere-
dell in June 1881. Wilson objected to
the recital of the conversation. He
Claimed that the evidence could not be
received as against the other defendants;
besides, the date of the conversation
WOnld exclude it. Mersick said with the
view to saving time he would consent
that evidence al this point be admitted
on,y as against Reredell. The court de-
cided to admit the evidence 1t held
that if the acts of Reredell were so impli.
Gated with the others as not to be distin-
guishable from them, and if the acts
would entail mention Of the names of
Others, witness was at liberty to use them,
but if any part # the evidence could be
separated, so as to be a recital Of Rere-
dell's acts without bringing him into as
sociaiion with the other defendants, the
rule would confne it to testimony in that
way. Witness related the story of what
is known as "Reredell's confession"
already published, using Reredell's Lam
guage as near as possible. IL He told of the
formation of 8 conspiracy, OF the methods
OF nder-blddlng, OF securing an in
crease; he described the process OF sH-
davit fixing, and Of getting up petitions;
the methods of bookkeeping were de-
tailed, showing how Brady was known
/ in the ledger under a fictitious
name. Then came recital
Of the circumstances arising from the
congressional investigation and of how
Brady had reduced the pay of certain
routes on thst occasion and afterwards
restored it to the original figures.
Wilson and Dsvidge renewed the OBJ
jcctions to the admission of evidence
relating to the other defendants and the
court finally decided not to admit
Reredell's statement as to what share o.
the profits Brady was to receive. Wit
ness continued, but so many technics
objections were interposed by the defenst
that it was with much difficulty that h
managed to tell connecting story. H
said Reredell had books and papers il

going to New York to obtain them.

THE BAD AND WORTHLESS

Are never initiated or eo~untertetted.
This Is especially true Of Q family
medicine, and 1t Is positive proof that
the remedy initiated Is Of the highest
value. As soon as 1t had been tested
and proved by the whole world that
Hop Bitters was the purest, best and
most valuable family medicine on
earth, many limitations sprung up and
began to steal the notices In which
the press and people of the country
had expressed the merits of III. B.,
and In every way trying to Induce suf.
fering invalids 20 use their stuff In
stead, expecting to make money on
the credit and good name of II. b.
Many others started nostrums put up
In similar style to II. B., with vari.
ously devised names In which the
word "Hop" or "Hops" were used In
away to induce people to believe they
were the same as Hop Bitters. All
such pretended remedies or cures, no
matter what their style or name Is,
and ESPECIALLY those with the word
"Hop" or "Hops" In their name or In
any way ouueoted with them or their
name, are limitations or c~ounterfeits.
