that act. He shoots her and the motive slumb-
ers in the grave. And yet there Is still an
other left who has full knowledge of that mo-
tive, who fully knows the infatuation that had
seized him, who fully knows that he had
threatened before to take her lie, who fully
knows that before that time he had lifted
against her that identical pistol, and held 1t up
to her astonished gaze, and that man is the
prisoner at the bar. he knows the motive,
and having killed one witness to the motive he
finds it necessary to 90 upon the stand and
swear that the only other witness has no con-
seriousness Of what took place. And then the
counsel call upon us for the motive-motives
which set back in the inner chambers OF that
mans heart, and he alone above the earth
knows them.
The Attorney General then took the testi-
mony for the defense, and in mastery and
eloquent argument commended that it utterly
failed to show the existence OF any delusion or
delirium on the part of the respondent, and
contended that the shooting was the act of a
iibertine influenced with jealousy. Hs ridi-
culed the experts who testified that the act of
pointing the pistol at the hotel clerk was the
act of person in delirium tremens. His argu-
ment was closely confined to the case, and was
thorough, logical and exhaustive. No mere alb
stract can do it Justice He closed at twenty

The ladies of the work-rcom wish to inform
the public. that they have on hand a large
quantity of sheets, pillow-cases, gentlemen's
night-shirts. ladies' and children's under gar
ments, aprons and dresses, which they would
like to sell.
While the managers do not pretend to com.
pete with the merchants, in their prices, they
do claim that most of their work is well done,
ensuring the wearer the comfort of one nights
repose, without losing button, or of safe

An exact account is kept of the wholesale
cost OF material in each garment. and of the
price paid the seamstress, to which is added q
profit from two to five cents, never exceeding

nearly exhausted the funds, and accumulated
q large stock Of garments which the ladies
wish to dispose of at once, since they have yet
three months to keep open the work-reom be-
fore the spring sale.
The ladies do not hesitate to take orders for
any family sewing as they have on their list
many women very skillful with the needle.
Miss Evans, secretary of the Associated Chari-
ties has kindly offered to attend to the sale of
these garments, any forenoon from 1890 to II.

Will not some of our lady and gentlemen
friends look over their wardrobes, the cast out,
the hals-gorn garments for the hospitals, vari-
Gus asylums in the city, and homes for the
aged and give orders TO supply the deficiencies
to these benevolent ladies who constantly ask
each other, How can We crash the hopes of
these women who depend upon us for earning
q trifie this cold winter by refusing them
work? Where shall we get means to supply
our material, and how shall we find market for
our stock? Except in rare cases do the ladies
give away garments, as they have always had
for their motto, HELP the poor to help
themselves"
