half of the London Times.
LONDON, July 5.-The trial in the libel
suit of Mr.. John O'Donnell against the
Times was resumed yesterday. Attorney
General Webster, resumlng the presenta-
ton of the case for the defense, quoted
from speeches IN favor Of boycottlng made

said the defense intended to prove the gen.
uineDess of the documents published in

should result in a verdict for the plaintiff
He then read letters with the view of
showing that the league instituted the
Phoenix Park murders.
Among the letters read by the Attorney
General was one from Mr.. Egan, in Paris.
while he was treasurer of the league, dated
February, 1881, in which he said: MIR.
Parnell is here. / have spoken to him
about the further advance to the fund. He
has no objection. We have agreed that
prompt acslon is called for"
Afterward Mr.. Egan wrote: "Mr. Parnell
accepts the offer made by B." (meanlng
Brennan).
Next was a most signif cant letter dated
October, 1881. written after Mr.. Parnell's
arrest by Mr.. Egan in Paris, to James
Carey in Dublin He said: II have my
post sent NJ. (meaning Mullet, who was
afterwards sentenced to penal servItude
for connection with the Phoenix Park
murders) Zoo. He will give you what you
want. When will you undertake 20 get the
work done! Give US value for our money"

Negroes.
GEUDA SPRINGS, Kan, July 5-Mayor
Kenyon, of this city. was fatally shot and
Justice Furry badly wounded by negro
desperadoes yesterday afternoon. Cit.
zens are in pursuit of the criminals and will
give them short shrlft.
Three negroes, Ike David, Jim Cherry
and Simmons, all of Arkansas City, opened
a joint in a corn field adjoining the city
yesterday morning, and all day men were
seen going and coming from the place.
Colonel n. c. Kenyon, mayor OF the city,
said at four O'Clock in the afternoon:
There is a joint over there in the corn
field. l am now looking for Judge Furry
to 60 and arrest them" He went and in
short time report came that Colonel Ken
yon was killed and Judge Furry wounded
in the leg.
This proved to be true and in a short
time the mayor was taken in a carriage in
sensible to his home, shot through the alb

murderers and the citizens organized
armed squads who are now IN pursuit OF
the desperadoes, ard they will be shot on

for the murderers and especially for the
apprehension Of Cherry, who is reputed to
be desperate Of the worst type.
1t is now known that the assassins SWAN
the Arkansas with their horses near the
ferry and fed to the Territory.

CHILDREN'S BRAINS.
The Half and Half Training Recently In
troduced Into English Schools.

The Half and Half Training Recently In
troduced Into English Schools.
The Wiseacres of society were long
time in discovering that child's brain
is capable of only a limited and mod
crate amount of fixed attention daily.
They have, however, arrived at that
conclusion at last. Brain slavery has
been nearly abolished in schools
especially in public schools. To whom
principally, belongs the credit of first
establishing the fact that children may
be overtaught, We do not know; but he
deserves that a votive statue, sculp-
tured by childish hands, should be
erected in his honor in every great
city in Christendom.
1t is amazing that our great-grand-
fathers should not have reflected that
little heads had something else to do
than pore over books, viz: to grow.
Psychologists must have known, CEN
turtles ago, that young brain, like a
young back, might be crippled, de-
formed, crushed, by the imposition of
burdens unsuited to its comparatively
feeble power of endurance. But the
doctors did not interfere with the
schoolmasters. 1t was not in ''their
way" and so the examining system
fourished unchecked until within the
last half century.
What is called half and half training
has recently been introduced into the
industrial schools of England with
great success. The forenOons are de-
voted to book-learning, the afternoons
to active employments; and it is found
that pupils acquire twice as much
knowledge within given number OF
days under this system as they
acquired in the same time when they
studied" all day long.-M. y Ledger

BILLIARD TABLES.
a Manufacturer Explains How They Art
Made and What They Cost

Made and What They Cost
There are several manufacturers OF
billiard tables in the United States,
but the oldest and largest of them are
in this city, leading one of which
was visited the other day by a re-
porter. In making the wooden frame
of the table only the choicest mate
rails can be used and the wood re-
quires three years seasoning to insure
its staying in its place. The corners
of the broad rails are carefully mitred
and bored by accurate machinery, and
they are fitted to iron corner pieces
having socket for receiving the legs.
All of the cross pieces are secured by
iron sockets, so that when the parts
of the table are fastened together they
are not liable to be thrown out of ad-
justment by atmospheric changes.
The legs are shaped by machine and
also sand-papered and smoothed by an
other machine which receives it auto
matically and puts it in shape for the
vanishing brush, which is of necessi-
ty done by hand. A large number of
men are constantly employed in this
department, giving the final touches
which render the exterior of the table
so attractive. In many points the man
ufacture of billiard tables is like that
of a piano or first class article of furni-
ture, but greater accuracy is required
than in either of the branches referred
to. Billiard tables are made in COM
bination with dining and library ia
bles and command ready sale, The
prices of tables range from s275, the
cheapest, up to 5000 for those fin
ished with the finest woods and pat
ented steel cushions. American bill
lard tables are well known the world
over, have received all the first prizes
and medals at all the national exhibit
tions and are largely bought for expor-
tation.-N. Y. Mail and Express.

BENKLEMAN, Neh, July 6.-This section
had been troubled for some time past with
horse thieves and it is estimated that a
hundred animals had been taken in two
counties during the past year. Last Mon
day Sheriff Buckwald, while in the vicinity
Of Idalia, came upon two of the most noto-
rious members OF the gang. John Banfeld
and Mike Laughlin. Both men were
armed with WInchesters while the only
weapon the sheriff had was his revolver,
but he got the drop on Laughlin and or
dered him to throw up his hands. He
showed fight and the sheriff shot him
dead. Banfeld then surrendered and was
brought to town and placed in jail The
sheriff is the hero of the hour.
