MURDERER ALMY ON THE STAND.
He Reaffirms His Love for Christie Warden
With Tears in His Eyes.

With Tears in His Eyes.
PLYMOUTH, n. H., Nov. ia surging
crowd again besieged the doors of the little
Court House this morning long before they
were opened, and the court room was
packed as on yesterday Almy, the muir
derer of Christie Warden, was on trial.
He passed sleepless night, and was brought
into court at o'clock, showing every evil
dence of the strain through which he is
passing.
Mr.. Storey opened the argument for the
defense. Several witnesses testified to see
ing Almy's revolvers and Christie's photo
graph, ard to his telling his love for her
and that he was going to Texas. Frank c.
Almy, the prisoner, was then sworn amid
much excitement. He told of his first
coming to the Warden farm in July, last
year, and of making contract with Warden
to work on the farm. The witness. trem-
bling and weeping, affirmed his love for the
Warden girl, and said: "After Myra and
Alice went West, the best of the girls re-
mained. Christie was a very quiet girl. 1
loved her and thought the world of her. "
Almy detailed at great length his relations
with Christie, giving the impression that
they were of the most friendly character
and of a reciprocal nature.

An Achievement That Forshadows Great
Astronomical Discoveries.

Every one has heard of the "Coal sack, ="

Milky Way, visible in the Southern Hemi-

that it catches the attention at once, and
ranks among the celestial wonders of the
South.

made at the Sidney Observatory, in New
South Wales, shows it all sprinkled over
with faint stars, so that, as has been re-
marked, cat first sight of the photograph

After the camera has been applied to
search all the depths and corners and space
we may have a very different idea of the
structure of the universe from any that is
now entertained.

DROPPED DEAD.
A Sad Warning-Take Heed!

Dropped dead! He was a business man
among you yesterday. but he neglected the
nervous weakness which finally resulted in
Heart Failure.
You are warned, as he was, by nervous
ness, weak, weary, dizzy and strange, faint
feelings, loss of memory, confused mind,
trembling, sinking sensation, coldness of
feet and legs, palpitation, feeling of appre-
hension, anxiety, drowsiness daytimes, sleep
lessness nights.
Ifyou have these symptoms you must at
once use the sure preventive of Heart Fail
ure-the greatest of all nerve strengtheners,
DIR. Greene's Nervura. 1t is the only certain
remedy for heart and nerve troubles, but
should be used when the very first symp-
toms of nervousness and weakness appear,
and thus prevent the fatal result. Purely vege-
table and harmless. Sold by druggists, 81 90.

THE USE OF THE COMMA
How a Prussian School Inspector Surprised
Surly Burgomaster.

Surly Burgomaster.
The London Journal Of Education saws that
Prussian school inspector appeared at the
office of the burgomaster of little town to
ask him to accompany him on tour of in
spection through the schools.
The burgomaster was out of sorts, and
was heard to mutter to himself, "What is
this donkey here again for?"
The inspector said nothing, but waited
his time, and with the unwilling burgo-
master set out on his tour. AT the first
school he announced his wish to see how
we'll punctuation was taught.
"Oh, never mind that" said the burgo-
master. "We don't care for commas and
such trifes"
But the inspector sent boy to the black
board, and ordered him to write, "The
burgomaster of R says, the inspector
is donkey.
Then he ordered him to tr~nsrese th~
comma, placing it otter R, and to in
sert another one after inspector, and the boy
wrote, "The burgomaster of R, says
the inspector, is donkey"
It is probable that the refractory official
gained new idea of the value of "commas
and such trifes."

CARA LOCATED AGAIN,
An Effort to Surround the Revo1utionist
Chief Probably a Failure.

SAN ANTONIO, Nov. 1S-Word reached
here this evening that scouts from Captain
Hardy's corps of United States cavalry,
which has for some time been patrolling the
American side of the Rio Grande in the vi
cinity of Catarano Garza's revolutionary
operations in Mexico, had located Cara at
a ranch on this side of the Rio Grande.
Captain Hardy's troops were in motion
to surround and capture Cara, and shortly
after this report was received another came
from another source from down the river
that Cara is moving boldly along the
Mexican side of the river with several hun
dred well-armed followers, and is within 20
miles of Nueva Laredo. A dispatch from
Lareno tonight states that the reports have
caused great excitement at that point.

ENGLAND's POET LAUREATE.
Tennyson Described by an Occasional Dis
patch Correspondent.


patch Correspondent.
An occasional correspondent of THE DIS
PATCH writing from London of a visit to
Lord Tennyson, says: His appearance had
lost much of its stately presence; lie looks
every inch the man of 80. His fine face
looks worn and transparently pale, though
not deeply wrinkled. His large, dreamy
eyes were rather red about the rims of the
eyelids, his flowing hair and beard were en-
tirely white, only his prominent, arched
nose and high, broad forehead denote still
the strength of the poet who wrote ''In
Memoriam."
He was dressed in a dark dressing gown,
displaying large, white collar and ruffies
to the wrists His small feet were dressed
in womanish looking, bronze leather Slip
pers; several rings adorned his white, deli
cate hands. Upon the whole he had pale,
languid, refined look-to me something
singularly and unpleasantly delicate in its
associations with men.
