ELLIS had admitted that he received 5000

private expenses. The defendant had
also admitted using some Of tine $4,000

Rev. H. HI. Rice corroborated this
testimony, but added that DIR. Ellis
claimed to have reason for expending
the money; that he had authority to DO
so from the source from which he OBJ
tanned it. The 5000 was intended for a
general purpose. and he had some lib
erty as to the manner in which it might
be used.

There was nothing especially import
ant or new elected at the trial of Rev.
John w. Ellis yesterday, says Saturdays
San Francisco Examiner. One or two
warm exchanges between Thomas Ma
gee and the defendant were all that
served to enliven the proceedings lit
tie bit.
Mr.. Magee was called as witness to
prove that DIR. Ellis had testified falsely
in suit brought by George Van Dyke
to recover 800 advanced by Mr.. Magee
on the defendants note. Van Dyke
having received an assignment of the
note, sued DIR. Ellis, and the latter testi-
fed that the day before the suit was
tried he had offered the money to q
short, dark, stout man in Mr.. Magee's
Office, but the person so described de-
clined to receive it.
| Mr.. Magee swore that he had never
employed such person as DR.. Ellis de-
scribed. The. defendant then began
the cross-examination. Mr.. Magee said
Ellis claimed to have met the short,
stout, dark man was exceedingly we'll

DR.. Ellis did not care to hear what the

but it came out.

Has it ever been your misfortune to be
brought into frequent contact with person

that trivial causes, unnoticed by the vigorous,
drive a nervous invalid to the verge of dlstrac-

these as it is impossible to guard againsl them.
The root of the evil is usually imperfect diges-

Haworth spends all his spare time in
completing the life Of John Mccullough.
Haworth has an autograph letter from
Mccullough which money could not buy.
II was written several days previous to
the death of the tragedian. 1t was
probably the last letter written by Nc
Cullough, in view of the fact that for
months previous to death his brain was
shattered. "We will climb the ladder
of fame together, Joe," he said, "and |
will help you until we both reach the
top round"
"McCullough had valet named Bob
Pritchard, who was a curious fellow -
said Haworth, recently. "He was a
thrifty Scotchman, and to save money
he always made his bed in McCullough's
dressing room in the theater. Once
John missed a handsome robe which he
wore in Richard III. 1t couldn't be
found. Finally, several months later,
when playing in New York, two little
Pritchards came to the theater, and the
dresses which they wore were cut from
McCullough's handsome robe.
"Pritchard expressed his sympathy
curiously the day the poor guv'nor was
buried.
"'He was great man, Mr.. Haworth,
he sobbed, "a good man. Many dress
ing room through the country has he
wiped the floor with me, slr.'"

A KISS AMIss.

One OF the sweetest and pret
tiest Of this years debutan-
tes, has been engaged to a
well known society man. Not
a night passes that he does
not call to see her, and she
generally meets him at the
door with an effectionate en-
brace which he always re-
turns with interest.
A few nights ago he had a
very disagreeabie adventure.
He did not tell Of il himself,
but the yonng lady told a
bosom friend, who told an
other friend, and so it went
until it finally reached the
ear of a town talker. The
night was cold and disagree
able. He had an engagement
at s o'clock, so went to the
home of his fiancee earlier
than usual. He reached the
door and found that the gas
had not been lighted.
The bell was pulled. A light
and airy step was heard trip
ping rapidly down the steps,
and his heart beat rapidly as
he thought of those dear
arms that would be around
his neck in a few short Sc
onds. The door was soon
open. His arms were thrown
around her fair neck. He
placed his hand gently under
her chin, raised it and imprin
ted several kisses on her lips.
He was rather surprised that
his kisses met not with their
usual response.
The door was closed, his O.
vercoatremoved and he turn
ed, struck a match and lit. the
gas. He then turned to take
his sweetheart again to his
arms, when he was hor'ified
to see the black housegirl in
stead OF his sweetheart. AT
the same time a merry laugh
float ted down the steps. He
rushed for the parlor and hid
himself. His life is being made
miserable since the joke be-
came pulic.-LouisUlle Post.
