 Scene in the Rovven Trial.
 BATAVIA, Jan. 29.-This afternoon Julia Rowell, the sister of the prisoner on trial for killing Lynch, was attacked by an epilsptic fit and compelled to leave the court room She was taken home under the care of Dr. Marge, who when he had returned from at- tending her took the stand to testify. The evidence will doubtless have good deal of weight as the defense have been trying to prove the epilepsy in the family. The medi- cal testimony is considered very strong and as giving the jury goedtground in which to acquit the prisoner. It is generally thought that Rowell will be acquitted.

N O. Tmes- Democrat, 18th.
A New Building for the ExpOsltiOm.

N. o. Times Democrat, 18TH.
A New Buflding for the ExpOsitiow.
In our report OF the Exposition, published
eIsew here will be found telegram from Direc-
tor General Burke AT Washington, requesting
Mr. Duncan F. Kenner, chairman Of the build
ing committee to procure an estimate of the cost
and the amount Of material needed for another
building of the same general character as the
main one, 400 by 1000 feet in dimensions, to be
located between the main building and St
Charles, and to be used for the government and
collective State and agricultural exhibits. The
estimate was promptly furnished by Mr.. Tor
gerson, supervising architect, and forwarded to
the Director General by telegraph.
The telegram is very significant For some
time past II has been evident that the Exposi-
ton Hail. colossal as it is-and It Is the largest
of the kind ever constructed, with a single ex-
ception-w0uld nousufilce to hold all the many
articles applying for space. Nor did the deci-
sion of Atlanta and other towns and States to
have special edi6ces of their ewn leave as much
room as was desired
The generous offer of the Federal Government,
made through the President few days ago, to
loan whatever articles In its possession might
be deemed suitable for the Exposition, renders
more room necessary. The new building II
erected, will be devoted specially to government
and collective exhibits Considerable difficulty
was anticipated In the proper arrangement Of
these In the main hall, 90 a. to make handsome
showing. Their location In q separate edihce
wonld enable them to be properly shown and
contrasted.
The growth of the Exposition is % rapid, and
90 many new features are being added weekly,
almost daily, that 1t is difficult to keep up with
them, but OF all thesc Improvements and add
tions none compare in importance with this pro.
posed new building, which will add ten acres OF
exposition space.

She sat on the bench in the sunshine,
AS went down the street
A woman whose hair was silver,
But whose face was blossom sweet
Making me think of garden,
Where, In spite of the frost and the snow
VI bleak November weather,
Late, fragrant lilies blow
heard O footstep behind me,
And the sound of merry laugh,
And knew the heart it came from
Would be like comforting staff
In the time and the hour of trouble,
Hopeful and brave and strong,
One of the hearts to lean on
When We think that things go wrong
turned at the click of the gate latch,
And met his manly look
"A lace like his gives me pleasure,
Like the page of pleasant book
1t told of a steadfast purpose,
OF brave and daring will
A face with a promise in 1t
That G cd grant the years fulfill.
He went up the pathway singing;
| saw the woman's eyes
Grow bright with wordless welcome
As sunshine warns the skies.
Back again, sweetheart mother"
He cried, and bent to kiss
The loving face that was lifted
For what some mothers miss
That boy will do to depend on;
hold that this is go
From lads in love with their mothers
Our bravest heroes grow.
Earh's sgrandest hearts have been loving hearts
Since time and earth began
And the boy who kisses his mother
Is every inch man.
