PARIs, Dec. 20 The trial Of Michael
Eyraud and Gabrielle Bompard for the
murder of Notary Goutfe was continued in
the Assize court this morning. The
proceedings we're opened by the public
prosecutor, Who summoned up the case
on behalf Of the gorernment. He
began by promising to confne himself
the murder and robbery Of NJ. Goane. He
begged the jury TO follow him closely and
to Dismiss from their minds all the evidence
that hsd been presented regarding hypno-
ism. He said he would make every effort
to uphold justice sgains, theories of sag-
gestion. which be declared constituted .
menace 70 society. He denounced the
theories of the Nancy school Of hypno-
,isefs, and citing the results Of Prof. Char
cots experiments in support of his conten-
ton. urged that person who was hypDo-
tized retained sufficient will power TO resist
the operators viii.
He said that Prof. Charcot's experime nts
showed that 70 operator could bring rub
jeet 90 completely under control As TO force
him or her 10 commit crime. The theories
of the Nancy school were nothing less than
the old story of the 'evil eye" and we're on
. par with fortune telling with cards. II
such theories were once admitted, personal
responsibility would be at an end, and the
laws on which society depended for protec-
lion would disappear in snsrchy. Regard
ing Mile. Bompard the public prosecutor
said that the womans intellect was not
weak, but it was depraved. Both prisoners
were equally guilty. The evidence showed
that everything in the room in which the
crime was committed had been prepared for
the hanging of Gouife and it was idle to as
sert the contrary. The murder of the
notary would have been impossible unless
the man had been taken unawares.
1t was the jury's duty 10 reject the
story of the woman, was as culpabie as her
companion. who fIsnkly svowed his guilt.
1t was the woman'a girdie that strangled
the Victim to death; it was the woman who
delivered Gouffe into the hands of her
lover, who waited for favorable moment
to draw the cord with which Gouffe was
strangled. He demanded that the extreme
penalty of the law be imposed upon Eyraud.
He did not ask for indulgence in the case Of
Mile. Bompscd. but the jury must consider
her age. her defective education and her
condition of life. and decide whether there
were extenusting circumstances in the part
she had taken in the crime.
The trial was concluded this evening.
Eyraud was convicted and condemned to
death. Gabrielle Bompard was also con-
vieted, but was not condemned to TO the
guiliotine. She was sentenced to 20 years
imprisonment at hard labor.

Boutele on the Naval Appropriation
BIZ.

The naval appropriation bill was reported
to the house today. Chairman Boutelle, in
his report. says:
The remarkable rspidty with which the
work of construction has been pressed of
late has resulted in concentrating 4 large
part of the expenditure within the coming
year, and in an increased appropriation is
rendered necessary to meet the greatly in
creased progress of the work All illus
,ration of the promT tness and energy dis
played in this regard may be found in the
fact that on the day following the approval
of the act authorizing the construction of
three battle ships, advertisements were is
sued inviting proposals upon general
plans prepared by the department, and
that in three months after the act of su-
tnorization, those three important vessels
were under contract, upon completed
specifications thatare believed to represent
the most powerful and perfec. war ships
ths. have ever been designed. The esti-
mated time for their construction was also
reduced, and they are required to be COM
rlcted in November, 1898 Similar zeal
has been manifested in pushing the work
on all the vessels authorized. In view Of
the large appropriations necessary to
prosecute work on construction on hand,
the committee have confined their recon-
mendations to the building of one fast
cruiser.

Our readers will doubtless wish to know
about the Elixir of Life" that has occupied
so much space in the secular press of late.
In the first place we wish to say that DIR.
Brown.Sequard never named tile substance
with which he experimental the elixir of
Life Semc newspaper man is doubtless
the author of this title. Newspaper men in
many cases have paid the whole cost of the
experiment. 1t was n dull season of the
year for news and racy items of the doings
of iavulids after receiving treatment, were
pie for the average reporter. We are sorry
to say that some physicians lent themselves
too readily to these experiments. They
never thought of the skill and care that
I,rownSeqnard exercised in his laboratory.
We find un Indiana doctor using fluid that
had been prepared and sent from another
city. Such IL fluid would be alive with bac.
teriu aud wouli almost certainly produce
blood poisoning. This conduct is reprehen-
sible in the extreme.
We do not wish to pooh-pooh the Elixir.
We are ready to receive the remedy for what
it is worth and no more. We do wish to
warn the people against foolish risks. No
reputable physician will use m article on his
patients that he would not willingly use up
ON himself. This might be considered good
test of the care with which the injecting
fluid has been prepared.
We take pleasure in keeping our readers

paratIv.ly insignificant though much OF the
coal at present mined comes from these

the Journal of Commerce has frequently
cal!ed the attention of its readers, is perhaps
the greatest, certu inly the most immediately

This coal region extends west into Utah and
