LONDON. Oct. 30.-The trial of
Stead, editor Of the Pal! Mall Ga
zette, and the ether defendants in
the Armstrong abduction case, was
resumed today, Justice Lopes, re-
plying to question from the jury
as to when the case would end,
said they might as we'll ask the
date of the day of judgment. Chas.
Russell, counsel for the defense, in
timated that the defense would
close their side of the case We'd
nesday next. Mrs. Rebecca Jar
rett, one of the prisoners, then
continued her testimony.
Mrs. jarrett, being pressed by
Justice Lopes to answer certain
questions during the cross exami =
nation, swore that Mrs. Armstrong
allowed her daughter to so with
her for immoral purposes without
having any idea as to what amount
of money she would get. She de-
MED having conducted herself i'm
morally with the husband of Mrs
Anne Broughton, but admitted
having sent him an immoral letter.
Justice Lopes cautioned Mrs. Jar
rett against not testifying honestly.
Mr.. Jarrett admitted that her let
tiers contained falsehoods, and said
Mrs. Stead gave her $40 to procure
Eliza. She believed that the Lily"
of the Pail Mall Gazette's story
was Eliza Armstrong. Mrs. Jar
rett is breaking down under cross
examination.

JeHreXS Lewis.

The return of this artistic is al
ways hailed as a treat by Carson
theater covers.
When the town, outraged by a
surfeit of bad shows, falls out of
the theatrical habit, Jeffreys Lewis
is sent for to bring the dissatisfied
back to the theater again.
She affects the citizens like a
galvanic battery. Her name means
a rush to tue box office, full house,
happy stoch holders. There is not
today an artist on the American
stage who can approach Jefreys
Lewis in her strong roles.
There are braiDy women on the
American stage without beauty,
and beautiful women without
brains, but this lady has both
brains and beauty, and her quick
grasp OF strong situations, her fine
eye for color and effect, and her
delicate and yet pronounced hand
ling of the nicer shades of acting
tell of genius Of the highest quality.
She does not wait for the climax
Of scene to catch one grand burst
of applause while she ignores the
less stricking situations, but be-
gins to act her best the instant she
makes her appearance on the
boards, not sighting the smallest
detail, until the curtain drops.
With her, a look Of the eye, the
slightest movement of fan, or
half step forward or backward, has
its certain meaning, never lost to
the audience.
She will appear as Stephanie in
Forget Me-Not," on Thursday
evening, a character which she has
literally created.

Yesterday afternoon the keeper

Expressions of this kind kept
floating about the board, and the

saloon were on the Jump for about
twenty minutes. The manner in
which the spread melted away was
an astonisher to the barkecpers,
and the colored caterer had to go
and make more soup and wild duck
stew, to furnish the requisite sup
ply.
The feast being over, they saun-

was because the company wanted to
get bis bald head out of the audi

of people in the dress circle: the
glare CT the light reflected from

issue Of the Times-Review Major
Dennis will retort by saying:

A Baltimore merchant tailor says he
frequently does fine darning with
strands of hair from his wife's head. It
often happens that there is a small,
cleanly cut place in a bolt Of goods 1t
may not be known until after gar
ment has been cut out But when it is
discovered the tailor cannot afford to
throw the piece away. He simply calls
on his wife for several strands of hair,
hands them to tho bestrskilled workman
in the shop and bids him mend the rent.
He uses very fine needle, and does his
work so perfectly that it is never known
that the cloth was cut. He said to a re-
porter:
81 once knew d tailor who got in q
peck of trouble from having cut the
button holes on the wrong side of q
costly coat. He finally overcame tho
difficulty by mending them with his
wife's hair. Once upon q time, as the

Gum and Mathematics.

The question of whether or no the
chewing of gum in schools and colleges
affects the pupil as to his studies has
been mooted one since gum chewing
became SO popular. 1t was left for a
Macon school teacher to put the matter
to a test and determine the question.
Friday afternoon, as certain school
was being dismissed, she gave out that
the class in arithmetic, composed of
twelve bright pupils of both sexes, would
be divided on the following Monday.
Six of the pupils were to provide them
selves with a moderate allowance Of
first-class chewing gum; the other six
were to be gumless.
Accordingly, on Monday morning
there were six bright scholars armed to
the teeth with chewing gum. Their
jaws were working like so many steam
triphammers, and they were eager for
the fray. From the arithmetic the
teacher selected twenty nine problems
and then the class buckled down to bus
mess. The other scholars stopped nudg-
ing each other and looked over their
biographies and grammars at the do en-
youngsters who were to decide very
important educational question. The
teacher began to throw the mathemat-
ieal problems into the class like so many
javelins. The tolu-mashers warded off
the blows and held their ground. Before
half the problems were given out it was
evident to the school that the tolu-
troublers had more gum in them than
they had been given credit for. Finally
the twenty-nine problems were given,
and on counting up the score it was
found that the chewers of gum had cor
rectly answered twenty-one, while the
gumless six had only eight.

Mr.. Joseph Thomson ought to be

before which Sinbad's journey becomes
as commonplace as a trip in street

region in Africa, where lions are as
common as foxes, and boas thick as
flies. He passed over deserts strewn
with the carcasses of rotten cattle, and
was obliged to subsist on them. He was

whom was at heart murderer and a
thief, and who protected him only be.
cause they believed him to be asorcerer,
and the only proofs of his magic power
were two false teeth and package of
effervescing powder. He discovered a
mountain thirty miles in diameter at the
base, the base being 500 feet above sea
level. Above this base peak IL, 600
feet high, set with facets Of ice. Another
mountain was honeycombed with caves,
in which whole tribes live.
These tribes, the Nasal, are "a finely
modelled, handsome race, with spirit of
incarnate devils. They do not marry
until they are on the verge of old age.
Before that time they live on milk and
meat alone, taking purely milk diet
for month and then meat only for the
same period. After marriage they can
eat vegetables, smoke and otherwise en-
Joy the rewards of a virtuous life, before
they wrap the drapery of death about
them and are thrown to the vultures,
which is the Masaic way Of disposing of
the great majority.

Dust In the Eve.
New York Dial.l

x y
When, in travelling, bit of dust gets
in the eye, it is best to remain quiet for
a little, as the tears may wash it away.
The flow of tears may be promoted from
time to time by attempting to open the
eye Blowing the nose violently assists
the operation.
The head Of a pin, covered with the
end of pocket handkerchief and moist
ened with saliva, may be moved about
between the eyeball and eyeltd, and will
detach the intruder if not to firmly fixed.
Another plan is to get fellow traveller
to raise the eyelid with his finger and
then gently wipe the red mucous mem
brane with a moistened pocket handker
chief, or remove the foreign body if he
can see it. A little piece of paper
twisted to point Is useful.
A drop of olive or castor oil intro
duced into the eye will often allay q
pain and intolerance of light produced
by fine irritant, as sand.
