At2 o'clock, on the convention OF
the court, Judge Gary instructed the
Jury, and in his instructions, after
giving the usual definitions OF what
was murder and what its punishment
is under the statutes, said;
JUDGE GARY's CHARGE.
The Court instiucts the jury as mat
ter OF law, that in considering the case
the Jury has not 10 go beyond the evil
dence to hunt up douots, nor must
they entertain such doubts as are
merely chimeIical or conjectural.
A doubt TO justify an scquit'al must
be reasonable, and it must sriSe from
candid and impartial Investigation OF
all the evidence in the case, and unless
II is such that were the same kind OF a
doubt interposed in the graver trans
actions of life it would cause reason,
able and prudent man to hesitate and
pause. 1t ia insufficient to authorize a
verdict of not guilty. If, after con-
sidering all the evidence, you can say
YOU have an abiding conviction OF the
truth of the charge you are satisfied
beyond reasonable doubt.
The Court instIucts the jury, as q
matter of law, that an accessory is he
who stands by and aids, abets or as
sists, or who, not being present, aid
ing, abetting or essisling, has advised,
encouraged, aided or abetted the per-
petration of the crime. He who thus
aids, abets, assists, advises or encour-
ages, shall be considered as principal
and punished accordingly. Every
such accessory, when crime is COM
mitted within or without this State,
by his aid or procurement in this
Slate, may be indicted and convicted
at the same time as the principal, or
before or after his conviction, and
whether the principal is convicted or
amenable to justice or not, and pun
isbed as principal.

All parties to the conspiracy are
equally guilty.

HOUSEWIVES FRIEND.

Hang up the broom when not in
use and see how much longer it will
last.
Have a damper in your kitchen
stovepipe; it will save one-third of
your fuel.
Fish may be scaled much easier by
first dipping them in hot water for a
minute.
You can get rid Of ants in the
closet by sprinkliug powdered borox
around the shelves.
Clean the tea kettle with sapolio
and then wipe it off every day with
a hot cloth. This will keep it
bright and clean.
Always have three or four bricks
about the house neatly covered with
carpet, for placing against the doors
to keep them open.
Remove the cover from the pot
otter pouring off the water from
boiled potatoes and leave them on
the back part of the stove, thus al
lowing the steam to escape. This
will leave them mealy. Never bring
potatoes to the table in covered
dish.
Select only perfect tomatoes for
canning. If they are over-ripe or
have bad spot in them they will
not keep. Tomatoes are excellent
sliced, dipped in flour, with little
pepper and salt, and fried in butter.
Another good way is TO put in n
layer of bread crumbs with little
luInps of butter. Another good
way is to put layer of bread
crumbs with little Jumps of butter,
some pepper and salt, into a baking
dish, then layer of sliced tomatoes
with skins removed) and another
layer of bread crumbs, ETC., finish

We spend as much for rum each
year as the total wages Of all the
workingmen of the country.
We pay out 5000, 100000 u year
for rum and but sos, 100000 for all
the breadstufis that we consume in
the same time.
We spend for rum nearly three
times what we spend for meat-the
annual total for the latter item being
about 1903, 100000.
The total value of the entire pro
duct of all our iron and steel indus

cotton-a total of SAT 900 .000-not
half of what we waste on rum.
