quest can hardly be imagined than Michael
WI allen, the suspended detective. proved yes
terclay He testified that he was cousin of
Sullivan, the iceman, but other than that
bis testimony was a series OF denials that he
had ever spoken to anybody about Cronin
or the Gamma Gael. Although travelling
the same beat with Dan Coughlin he had
never discussed these matters, even with
Coughlin- He is member of Camp 20 of
the Clan.
Another Man Who Knew Nothing.
James Carroll, former Philadelphia and
Rea ding employee, who said he was thrown
out of work by last years strike and came to
Chicago to seek employment testified that he
knew Mcclellan, and had met him here be-
fore and after the Cronin murder. He had
loan I'D him money, although not intimately
acquainted with him. He did not know
Cronin and had not conversed with any one
concerning the tragedy, although a member
of the Clan-na- Gael

The jury soon dismissed this witness, and
Henry j. Jordan, barkeeper, was put on
the stand. He also admitted being ac-
quainted with McGeehan, having been drink

in few days. Closely pressed by both cor
oner and jury he denied having said in pub
lie that if he had found Cronin in a sewer be

LONDON juno ll-Advices from Rome
yesterday indicate that the pope is still
greatly depressed over the demonstration

mortal. Speaking to one of the officials at
the Vatican he said that the event was even
sadder than were those of 1870, when only

The Martyrs Life sketched.
Giordano Bruno was born in 1913 in the
Neapolitan City of Nola. His father was
soldier, and perhaps Of German parentaga
When 10 or II years old he was sent to an
uncle in Naples, who put him in a school. At
the age of Is he entered a Dominican mon
astery and became a novice of the order
His baptismal name of Philip he exchanged
for his name in religion" of Giordano, by
which he y always known. In this mon
astery he remained fifteen years. Even
while a novice he was accused of heresy be-
cause he had abandoned devotion to pictures
Of the saints and contented himself with a
crucifix alone. This charge was smothered,
but in 1915 new complaints were made, and
he left Naples and went to Rome
Bruno's Travels in Europe.
The next two years were spent in school
teaching in the north of Italy Then he went
to Geneva, where he got work in printing
office, but Calvinism was abhorrent to him.
and he journeyed on to Paris, where he taught
and wrote and gained the friendship of
Henry Ill. Next he went to England, lee
tured at Oxford, became intimate with Sir
Philip Sidney and Fulke Greville, and won
the favor Of Queen Elizabeth, whom he
called the "Diana of the Nymphs of the
North" In 1885 he went to Germany an
spent some quiet years at Wittenberg.
In the Hands of the Inquisition.
In 1881 he was unwise enough to go to
Venice. A false friend denounced him to
the inquisition. He was arrested, and in
1888 he was turned over to the papal author
tiles He was tried for heresy. 1t was
charged that he taught the eternity of the
universe, plurality of inhabited worlds,
and many other false doctrins Some of the
accusations made against him he denied,
some he admitted to be true, but refused to
recant
Mitigating Severity.

found guilty, and was turned over by the In

reading "beseeching you 50 to mitigate the
severity of his sin with respect to his body,

This gentle phrase meant that he should be

presence of a large and enthusiastic audience
of Roman citizens According to the ac-

LONG BEACH.

The w. G. II. U. Day-Exercises at
the Alliance Meeting.
Yesterday at Long Beach was given
wholly to women-the w. G. T. U. The
services opened at a. m. by consecra-
ton meeting, led by Mrs. Annie 7. Ar
mour of Los Angeles. The address of
the leader, having for her subject ''Ne-
hemiah in rebuilding the broken down
walls of Jerusalem" was unsurpassed,
from almost any standpoint.
Mrs. Mary J. Bond of Santa Barbara
next spoke on Purity in Literature and
Art" Her statistics of vile and obscene
literature in our country were absolutely
appalling. Six hundred and seven vile
books from one publishing house in New
York aud four tons of obscene books con-
fscated by the society for the suppress
sion of vile literature were reported by
her. She said the daily press OF the
country has fearful responsibility, as it
is the conservator of public opinion.
Every paper having any claim to decency
should be strong prop to Mr.. McCor-
mick in his work.
The paper was discussed by Rev. R.
M. Beach, Rev. DIR. Cobb, Miss Harri-
man of University, and several others.
The newspapers came in for their share
of criticism. 1t was stated by some of the
spectators, that it was an outrage on the
public to print the disgusting details of
crime. Some thought the accounts
might be toned down 30 as not to be SO
shocking to the sensitive moral and
asthetical ear. Some said they had dis.
carded entirely the daily newspaper, as
the only remedy for the evil.
A Familiar Talk" was given by Mrs.
Annie T. Mcintosh, of Orange. 1t was
scholarly and admirable in every sense
She said this might be called the sage
of Women" Not but that women have
always existed, but that she exists now
as speciality. Her picture OF the move
heroine was very amusing. She thought
the sentimentalism generally presented
by the popular writer's of novels, 40
ndusepna, was doing immense mischief
She thought women ought to have some
solidity as we'll as men.
In the afternoon, the devotiona
services were opened by Mrs. Burns, o.
Long Beach. She spoke Of the religious
sphere OF women, and thought the
churches we're coming back to their pris
tine position in this regard.

valuable Invention.

ANY one who is interested in pumps
can witness one of simple design, yet of
excellent efficiency, at work at the
Stearns Manufacturing Company's place
On Dale and Alameda streets. It is the
Huffer lift pump, with which force
pump can be combined. 1t consists of
two large cylinders, resting in q box
with sluice-gate in its side. The appa-
ratus can be raised 20 feet above the
water which is to be lifted. A cross pipe
connects the two cylinders, and this is
surmounted by small steam-chest.
This chest is divided into two compart-
ments, and the steam enters first one
and then the other by ar automatic sys-
tenn of valves. From the chest it enters
the cross pipe and thence is fed alter
mattel ely into the two cylinders. Whom it
enters either cylinder it is suddenly con-
densed by spray of water, and q
vacuum is formed, into which the water
is forced by atmospheric pressure. The
water then flows out through valves at
the bottom into the box and out the
eiuice gate. Rive to ten pounds Of steam
will pump three hundred gellons
minute.
