An Economical Woman.

"Hannah's husbands sister sent EcT
a barrel of old clothes while / was
there, said an old lady after a visit
to her daughter in the country. "She
had the barrel opened in the shed
chamber. 1t was filled with old
dresses, underclothes and stockings.
You would be surprised to see the
useful things she got out of that bar
rel. She ripped up, washed and pressed
w old dresses and made herself
a morning dress out of them; she
found a flannel skirt all good but the
edging. so she raveled out some super
animated stockings and made some
trimming from the yarn and put on
the skirt; she ripped off some Ham
burg from the un~derclothing and
used it again; she got quite a
supply Of stockings for herself and
the children by mending and cutting
down; out of some OF the large pieces
she made p~etticoats for the children,
and out OF the small pieces she made
a slumber quilt to throw on the bed
cool nights. What was left didn't
amount to much for rugs or carpets
1T is nice to have rich relations, y we
ventured to remark. "They are not
rich," replied grandma. s"They are
not rs comfortable as Hannah, for
Hannah's husband owns a good farm,
while they are obliged to hire rent. |
shouldn't be surprised if a very COM
Portable house had gone into the rag
bag or in some such way, but | ought
not to complain, for Hannah gets
some Of 1t, and she's handy and knows
how to use it. l always told your
grandfather a man must ask his wife
to thrive. Hannah was always like
me, knew how to save."-Leaodston

Position Of Beds.

Possibly the attention of very few
mothers has been directed to the inn
portance of the position of their chill
dren's beds. With certain orderly,
careful mothers q small alcove adjoin-
ing their sleeping room is generally
considered suitable, leaving the main
room so much freer for other uses.
But to what fate are we consigning

cove? Here turks all the stale, viii
ated, or. as we might say, dead air,
undisturbed by the freer current of
the main room. The child, breathing
this air night after night, experiences
loss OF vitality, a tendency to colds,
and a languid, depressed condition III

Mr.. Miller. "When?"

Young Wade then described the man,
and said no had picked the man out un-

X. IL. Wright, deputy sergeant, WAS
then sworn, and said that Walter had
picked out Williamson as the man who
had called at his house. He was posi-
tive in his Identification, and. was not

but said that Mr.. Wright pointed Will
hanson out to him in the court room;
would have known him, however, any
how.
Albert Smith, y woll-built negro, 81
years old, was the next witness. and his
evidence was the first direct testimony
OF consequence connecting John Reid.
Smith said that he works for Henry
Body, who lives on Salem avenue, near
Grove street. AT q o'clock on the 22d

snack house on Railroad avenue; asked
Rcdd to open The gate for him and Rcdd
complied; he first pushed the gate in an
effort to open it; witness told him to
reach his hand over and unlatch the
gate, which Redd did. Rcdd asked him
(Smith) if he was going homo at Christ
mas, and he said that he could not go.
Redd then passed on up Salem avenue;
thought Redd carried small cane.
Smiths testimony was listened to
with the closest attention by the jury,
and he was also closely questioned as to
his knowledge of the date. His testi-
mony was complete in every detail, and
the date was fixed by other facts.
The next witness was Lloyd Bower,
an eight-ycar-old boy. who saw the man
open tho gate for Smith; the man was Il
yellow fellow, dressed in dark clothes;
thought he might know him again.

About 10 o'clock yesterday morning

about tho II listing Court Here was to
be concluded the proceedings under the
writ OF habcas corpus, and when the
hour Of holding court arrived the court
room was crowded with interested lis
tcncrs.
Roy Il. Smith, Hon. w. L. Bibb and
Robert e. Scott were tho attorneys pre-
sent on behalf of the commonwealth.
and they were early holding an earnest
consultation with Chief Morris. Eston
Randolph was on hand looking after the
interests OF his clients, and many sub
stantlal business men were about watch
ing the progress OF Il case in which they
had so great an interest.
Promptly at 10 Judge Robertson
called the court to order. He said that
since Saturday he had been looking up
the law in the case, and said that he
had arrived at the conclusion that the
case was not properly before him, since
ii had not been tried by an examining
magistrate, lie suggested that the
proper course would be to have the case
heard in the first instance before mag
istratr; then, if the latter thought the
proof justified him in holding the pris-
oners, application might be made to
him. sitting rs Judge of the Hastings
Court, to admit the prisoners to bail,
when witnesses could be introduced to
show whether or not there was but
slight suspicion of guilt on tho part of
the prisoners. Then bail could be fixed
or refused, according to the testimony
INTRODUCED.
Mr.. Randolph claimed that inasmuch
as no evidence whatever had been pro-
duccd to establish Il suspicion of guilt
on the part of his clients. they should
he discharged at once, or at least admit
ted to bail.
Judge Robertson then said he would
decline to proceed further until the mat

Judge Williams for the purpose of hold
ing preliminary examination. In the
interval, however, before the arrival
of the magistrate, Mayor Evans
entered the court room and was re-
qucstcd to sit in his capacity as magis
tratc upon an application for an imme-
diatc examination.
Mr.. Smith opened the proceedings by
asking q continuance. He said the
commonwealth could not now proceed
without jeopardizing their case, and
could not for u week or ten DAYS. lie
asked that the mayor commit the pri-
soners TO Jail without bail until such
. time as the commonwealth should be
ready. and called attention to the
statute which provides that prisoners
may he reminded for examination for
ten days.

1t Jhas been rumorcd on the streets

Mr.. Chapman what he thought of the

therefore has been pronounced to DO no

says that tho Irish struggle is essen

this fatherland is threatened by n ca
lamity surprising Il thousand coercion
acts-tho lowering Of the flag OF indie
tendance on vague promises of British
statesmen. Irish history teens with
SISTERS resulting from reliance placed
upon English promises.
The proclamation asks tho people to
sustain the tried policy of tho Indepen-
dent party in Parliament, adding that
with Ihe people Of Ireland and America
unite behind it, it should sustain the
leader who made tho policy and led vic
tory until now.
The issue for the independent party
was as to whether people should choose
their own leader and party, or as to
whether they should become merely a
part of the English Liberals and accent
a leader dictated by English lead ,rs.
That would not be home rule We want
