the more fastidious communicates provide
themselves with prayer-rugs, which a
servant carefully spreads before his master
or mistress, and folds and carries home at
the close of the service. Some of the more

GUAYMAs CATHEDRAL
Are rather better than common, and the
altar is really fine. There is big picture
of Santa Guadalupe, the Creole virgin,
who is the especial patroness of Mexico; ;
besides her opponent in war, the Virgin de
las Remedies (which Cortz' army carried,
and the Spaniards afterwards when they
fought against the Mexicansi in their strug-
gle for independence, the latter bearing
the Creole Guadalupe), both, strangely
enough. being reverenced as the same holy
Virgin, the mother of Christ.
Every Sunday, at the close of morning
service in this cathedral, the right of bap-
tism is administered. The baptistry is To-
Gated at the base of one OF the towers, and
as rule large percentage of the candi-
dates for the sacred ceremony are Indians
The Yaquis hereabouts are universally
very pious, and they bring the babies to be
baptized before their eyes are fairly
opened. The infants are dressed in nothing
but a scanty strip of cloth, and often not
even that, the mother covering the naked
morsel of humanity as best she can with
her own ragged reboSa. Watching the
weekly baptismal performance, one sees a
confused chaos of struggling brown arms
and legs and hears babel of puny cries.
The adult Yaquis hereabouts dress fairly
well, in the prevailing fashion of the
country. In appearance they are the most
mild and harmless of people. There is
village of them over the hills behind
Guaymas, in valley called the Yaqui,
which is green and lovely with gardens.
They are a poor people, but scrupulously
honest, doing no work but that of cukti-
waiting their fields. Others of the same
tribe are scattered all over Sonora, and are
said to be the best laborers in the country,
especially in the mines, it having passed
into proverb that one Yaqui is worth a
dozen Mexicans"

WHO WAS 1T?

Apropos of the general interest man
ifeslcd in Mrs. Wards book, ''Robert
Elsmere," a good story is told at the
expense of a gentleman prominently
connected with Bethel industry. The
other day he boarded the train in the
vicinity Of Manchester, en- route for
Bethel. He had travelled enough SO
that he knew what the Pullman fare
was To the place of his destination, and
after settling with the conductor he set
tied himself in the comfortable car and
proceeded to discuss copy of"Robert
El>mere." That he was interested in
the book became evident at once, and
his interest grew until it superseded his
appetite, SO that on reaching White
River Junction he showed no inclina-
ton to lunch although there was "plenty
of time" He chung to his book and
the train moved on. Bethel was reach
ed. but again his devotion to the book
drove from his mind his interests at
Bethel and he stirred not. Soon West
Randolph was reached, and he reader
Of Robert Elsmere," partially coming
to, realized that the train had stopped
as he supposed, at Bethel. When in
formed that Bethel was six miles fur
ther back, and that he had allowed his
attention to the book to carry him by,
he muttered few words that possessed
no theological value, and then conclu-
ded to take it as a good joke and wait
for the down train to Bethel.-St. AL
bans Messenger.

disputed signature then, but had
Photographic copy of IL, and that he had
a number of the admitted genuine sig
natures in his possession at the same
time, and that since he had been In Min
neapOlis he had examined all OF the
signatures on both sides of the case in
court.
Mr.. Wilson then handed him exhibit
A and asked him If he had formed an
opinion as to whether the name OF j. +.
Blaisdell on the back was written by
the same person who wrote the same
name on the other exhibits.
Yes" he said, II have formed an
opinion"
"What Is that opinion, Mr.. South
wOrth?' asked Mr.. Wilson.
Mr.. Southworth replied: my opin-
lon is that all Of the signatures of Mr..
Blaisdell's name on these papers were
written by one and the same person..
Now, Mr.. SOuthwOrth. will you give
the Jury the reasons which led you to
form this conclusion"
Mr.. Southworth thereupon faced the
jury, and, taking the questioned sigma
lure in his hands. went through it syS-
tematically from the first stroke OF the
j to the final stroke Of the |. He placed
great stress upon what, he said, were
certain habits In the signature which
had been adopted by the writer or
taught to him in his childhood, and
which might be altered at will, and
certain characteristics which were un-
unconscious and perhaps unknown to
the writer. He said these last. of which
there were many, were all Indications
of the genuineness of the writing. that
they existed in all of the admitted gem
Uine signatures, except possibly two.
He profeSSed his ability to cut out
single letters in the genuine signatures
and paste them together in such man
ner that they could not be distinguished
from the signature in dispute, and re-
Quested permission to do so, but it was
refused on the ground that the exhibits
could not be mutilated, as they were .
part Of the record in the case.
1t finally became so dark that the Wit
ness said he was unable to continue his
examination and comparison of the
handwriting, and that part of the sub
ject was postponed until this morning.
Now, Mr.. Southworth," said Mr..
Wilson, Twill you state how strong your
opinion is that this disputed signature
is genuine?"
''Just as strong as it can be-" said he,
and then he added, with much feeling,
II say this, realizing that the property
of one man and the liberty of another
may depend upon the character of my
answer"
At this point the court adjourned I'M
Ill this morning, when Alr. SOuthworth
will resume the stand.

THE BRIDGE AGAIN.
DR.. Evans Replies TO w. r. Steele's
Charges at the Board of Trade.

Charges at the Board or Trade.
DR.. o. ]. Evans was at the board of
trade meeting yesterday to answer the
charges made a week ago by Mr.. Steele,
that the doctor had secured the Mime
sofa river bridge at Bloomington ferry
because he had a farm located in that
neighborhood. He, with j. b. Bassett
defended the Bloomington ferry site,
where the bridge is already under way
of construction, and is expected to be
completed the 1st of December. W. E.
Steele headed the investigating COM
mlttee appointed at the last session in
unfolding the Lyndale avenue site and
condemuing the action of the county
commissioners in placing the bridge at
Bloomington ferry.
This committee presented report
which they had made after visiting the
two sites and talking with the farmers
of the neighborhood. This report bad
all the signatures of the committee ia
voring the Lyndale avenue site.
The report stated that q majority OF
the county commissioners favored Lyn-
dale. but because of undue influence of
members of the last legislature and 9TH
ers, and the report Of ian incompetent
engineer" who gave s119, 600 as the cost
of the Lyndale bridge. another site was
chosen. The undesirableness of the
ferry bridge was commented upon at
length, and it was declared that one
and quarter miles Of road in the Scott
county approach was several feet under
high water mark. and for three miles
around Piekerel lake it was too sandy
for heavy teaming, and in consequence
the owners would 90 to st. Paul. A
