IrelIer Mlrder Case--Th One Chance
For the Accused - Counsel Talking the
Jury 10 Death.
ST. Louis, June 2.-The case for the
defendant in the Prcller murder case
has been practically finished. Mr. Faunt-
leroy has stated his clients position as
advantageOusly as possible, but when
the best that can be said for him is said
the balance is heavily against him.
There is one point in hi. case which
his advocate brought out with dramatic
force. This point is the blood stain on
the shirt cut from Preller's body. 1t is a
point that may be explained away in
several ways, but it stands out promi-
nently in this case as the only particle of
evidence COrrobOrative of the defendants
statement of defense. 1t is the only
point that possesses any strength
at all There is one other that helps this
one, and that is the admission of DR..
Nidelet that he discovered u slight abra-
sion in the membrane of the body exam
ined by him. The blOod-stain and the
abrasion are the only features in the en-
tire case that speak for the prisoner.
IL the jurors disagree or fail 10 convict
of murder these two bits of evidence will
be accountable for it.
On the other side are the character of
the accused, his motive, the robbery, his
subsequent acts and a mountain of cir
cumstantial evidence that ourics every
incident IN his favor.
Every streak OF hOpeis obscured by the
mass OF damning circumsiantial evidence.
II there is any hope for him it must he
found in the leaning of all men to doubt
of guilt and to mercy in the vaSaries of
the average jury.
To Judge from the length of Mr.. Faun-
tleroy's speech if the jury are not dead at
the close of the trial it will not be the
fault of the counsel. The speech was
two hours too long for the best effect and
impression on the jury.

The Origin of Railroad saving -

Some years ago two long freight trains
met at siding on one of the Illinois
prairies. The siding was not long enough
to allow the trains to PISS. The assistant
manager Of the road happened to be on
or Of the trains, and he was at his wits
e'id to know what to do There stepped
Up young brakeman who said he could
manage the trains so as to enable them to
pass. The engineers laughed at him, but
the manager asked him to explain. With
a stick he traced in the ground his plan,
and it was SO simple that every one at
once cOmprehended it. In fifteen minutes
the two trains had been moved by, and the
operation is now universally adopted on
sidings that are too short. 1t is called
saving. The young fellow, while riding
on the top of his ear across the dreary
prairies had studied out and solved this
problem, and when the opportunity came
he was ready for it. He is now the gen
eEal manager of the great Northwestern
system.-New York sun.

lans Of all schools, without relief, there
ems 10 he no hope. Many such have as
laSl resort tried Athlophorus, and to their
lrprise and joy have found that it was
ljr, sure and guick cure. AthlophOros is not

value.
William Robinson, of Washington, C, H.,

Mrs. W. II. c. Mccoy, London, O., said
answer to the question as to her use Of
lihlophoros: "Yes, indeed; have used
q. am in love with Athlophoros. 1t has
one 50 much for me: had suffered with
hcumatism for years, until my feet and

At point where the two ranges Of the
Cordilleras, the eastern and western, which
traverse Peru from north to south, meet,
and from what is known as the junction
Of Pasco (el nudo de Pasco) is located the
city of Cerro de Pasco, SO miles from
Lima. 1t is built upon honeycombed
foundations and possesses most re
markable climate by reason OF its great
height above the sea level From Decem-
Der to March, a season which the people
of the Cerro term their winter, whereas
in reality it is their summer, the tempera-
ture during the day is from II to IL de
grees above zero, at night ii falls to near
zero, but the water seldom freezes.
During this season the sun appears at
times, and from the purity of the atmos-
phere the heat caused by its rays is almost
unbearable. A person may be standing
partly in the sunlight and portion Of his
body may be in the shade; that portion is
disagreeably cold while the part exposed
to the sun is uncomfortably warm. II
would be difficult 10 find another locality
where the atmospheric changes are more
distinctly marked.-New York Graphic.

The deXtcrty of the wOrkmen or boys
is so great that it becomes a fascinating
employment to watch them and the
growth Of the carpets beneath their quick
fingers. The threads are stretched upright
before them in the same manner as in the
GObelin tapestry looms, and the knots OF
cOlored worSted are tied along the top
just within reach of the hands. One color
at a time is selected, the end pulled down,
and quick rs thought is tied round one of
the threads Of the warp and cut off at the
same moment by the rough sickle shaped
knife which is carried all the time in the
right hand of the workman. Thus
the pile is formed exactly as it is in
the case of Turkey carpets, by a success
sion of knots having both ends cut off on
the surface of the carpet.
During the whole of the process a curl
Gus song is carried on in alternate cOuplets
between the man who is seated behind
the loom and the workers; this would ap-
pear TO he the means of directing the tying
in of the colored wOrsteds TO form the de
sign, for no pattern or guide Of any sort is
visible. The simpler parts of the carpets
are made by quite young boys, while more
experienced workmen undertake the more
intricate borders. When all is done, the
foundation threads are cut from the loom
and deity plated together and knotted
into fringe.--ChiCagO Tribune.

The old story of the poor soul who was
caught between The devil and the deep
sea" gets new illustration from the deal
ing of doctors and drugs with malaria. The
story is soon told: My daughter" said a
lady, had been struggling with malaria for
four years. She was all the time out of
heslth-poOr appetite, disOrdered digestion,
pale earthly color, pain in the head, limbs
and back, and every now and then right
hard chill, followed by fever. Then we
would send for our doctor and he would
prescribe quinine. just as he did from the
frst-and so kept doing all alOng-until the
name Of quinine sounds like the tOlling Of
the bell. Clearly between tine two, her
health was being ruined and her very life in
peril. She was really between The devil
and the deep sea Sometimes the name is
varied, and it is called some other inc in
place of quinine, but il is all the Same-the
old firm with new sign. In this dilema a
lady friend said: Why not try Humph-
rey'S Homeopathic Specifics, Nos. Ten and
Sixteen | tried them. They were sue
cess from the first and not only cured tine
malaria, but restored her to perfect health,
and left no trace of disease or drug pOis-

What True Merit Will Do.

The unprecedented sale Of Boschees
German Syrup within few years. has as
tonished the world. 1t is without doubt the
safest and best remedy ever discovered for
the speedy and effectual cure Of Coughs,
Colds and the severest Lung troubles. 1t
acts on an entirely different principle from
the usual prescriptions given by Physicians,
as it does not dry up Cough and leave the
disease still in the system, but on the con-
trary removes the cause Of the trouble,
heals the parts affected and leaves them in
purely healthy condition. A bottle kept
in the house for use when the diseases make
their appearance, will save doctors bills
and long spell Of serious illness. A trial
will convince you Of these facts. 1t is pos
stively sold by all druggists and general
dealers in the land. Price, 75 cts, large

THE PROPAGATION OF FISH.
Tho Process of Gathering spawn De-
misunderstanding Lake Huron-

The Process of Gathering spawn De-
scribed-SearchiDg Lake Huron.
The season for gathering spawn at the
Caledonia state hatchery for 1SS6-SI
opened Sept. %. The salmon trout are
the first spswners on the grounds. 1t is
an interesting sight to see the great fell
lows handled, some of them weighing
from IA to l6 pounds each. They enter
the spawning races at night, and it is at
that time the spawn is taken. The race
ways are kept covered continually, and at
night between and 8 O'Clock the net,
with long canvas bag, is put into the
raceway made for its reception. The
covers over the race are then raised and
the fish drawn into the net by agitating
the water with long poles, commencing at
the head and working down slowly to-
ward the net.
The frame of the net is then raised,
which secures the fish, and the net raised
bodily from the water and the frame
placed over a large wooden tank filed
with water. The bag of the net is then
lifted up and the fish emptied out. The
assistants then handle them Us rapidly as
possible, selecting the ripe females and
throwing the unripe ones back into the
While one holds the lantern in position
to throw the light into the pans, the
others manipulate the fish. Ii requires
20 persons to take spawn from the large
fish, one holding the head while the other
strips the spawn from them, great caution
being exercised in handling them carefully
SO as not to injure them. The spent fish
are placed in hand barrow filed with
water and carried TO separate inclOsure
so as to prevent them entering the races
night after night on useless errand.
After the spawn has been taken the pans,
into which it has been stripped, are re
moved to the hatchery trays made for
their reception. There are frequently
more fish in the raceway than can be
taken at one time, in which event a screen
is slipped into grooves in front of the net
before it is raised, and the operation re
peated as above described until all the fish
have been handled.
During the height of the spawning sea
son the screen is again slid into the
grooves Of the raceway before daylight,
and the spawn is taken again from the
surplus fiSh.-Seth Green in American
Angler.
