and, though his talk was comparatively
brief, it was to the point, and was one
of which he may well feel proud. He
was more fiowery than any one had
given him credit for, and he made de-
cided hit. He seemed to feel tiiicct he had
presented strong case, and left the
testimony he had put in to do its own
work.
Mr.. Hart, for the prisoner, used up
two hours In a fiery argument in his
best style. He made it point to roast
everybody from Frank Grygla to Ernest
Zeidler, who. he insisted, was the one
who was culpable. He recited the story
of his having lost $4,000 in wheat deals,
and again referred to the books. which
showed no checks made payable to the
order of Heilpern, as stated he had
done to square the petty cash account.
He insisted that the course pursued
by Leo while in. Mexico was that of an
honest man who would rather stay In
Jail year until the charges against him
were diSproven than leave the cloud of
disgrace to hang over his head for the
rest of his life. He read the letter writ
ten by Heilpern from Ell PasO, or rather
he read an English translation, for the
original was in German. The seance at
the city hall was gone over as another
proof of the innocence of his client.
His version was that. Mr.. bassett sent
Capt. Helm into the room where Mr..
Zeidler and Heilpern were because he,
Bassett, did not trust Zeidler, and so on.
Judge Lochren's charge was such an
able one that no exceptions were taken,
and the jury took the case in hand,

THE LAND OF OPHIR.
Some Speculation on Solomon's
Lost Kingdom.

Some Speculation on Solomon's
Lost Kingdom.
Harpers Weekly.
The belief has long prevailed that the
enormous quantities Of gold which con-
tributed to the splendor of the reign of
Solomon were brought from some part
of Southeast Africa. "And they came
to Ophir and fetched from thence gold,
420 talents, and brought it to King Solo
mon." Ophir was famous for It's gold
in the days Of Job, who speaks of ''lay-
ing up gold as dust, and the gold of
Ophir as the stones of the brooks"
Where was Ophir? Some say in Ma
lacca; others have located it in India;
others in Arabia, and not few have
cOntended for the southeast coast of
A frica, about Sofala. There has been
much discussion Oh the subject but the
discussion has been profitless. The
Sofala region Of South Africa has as
much to recommend 1t as any other. AS
told in the Bible, the story Of the Queen
of Sheba and the story of Ophir have a
singular relation TO each other and seem
to suggest that the location of the one
was not far from the home of the other.
In Solomon's time the round voyage to
and from Ophir covered period of
three years. This has by some been
considered fatal to the South African
theory.
When we consider the times and take
into account the difficulty of transport
the objection loses much of its force. 1t
is at least a remarkable circumstance
that discoveries should now be made in
the very region of South Africa SO long
favored by one set of aditions-discov-
cries which point Enthusiastically to very
ancient occupation by a people adj
vanced in the arts and Industries of
civilization, and also to the plentiful
existence Of gold in the region at one
time, however it may be now.

SUDBURY, Ont, Feb. 17.-Nearly all
of the al dermen and city officials now
on tour through Canada are still alive,
although few were lost shortly after
leaving Minneapolis. When the train
bearing them out of the reach of
United States law left Minneapa-
lis behind, it was discovered that
Aid. FarnswOrth had been lost in the
noise made by his trousers. Rand was
left behind to see that Loye followed in
structions. AS soon as the city limits
were left behind the sentiments of the
Republican aldermen underwent a
change. The majority in the council
Immediately became advocates Of an
extension of the patrol limits. They
were extended several times during
the night. Everything was praised by
the alderman except bills, ordinances,
and good resolutions. Several times a
clash of authority between the mayor
and President Potter seemed imminent,
but all differences were finally washed
away during the trip through Michl-
gan Yesterday morning. Several per-
sons were arrested for violating the
laws against gambling, but charges
were so frequent that they were
never decided. The train bearing the
government of Minneapolis arrived at
the 500 at p. m. Supt. G. j. Berry, of
the Canadian Pacific railroad, met the
delegation at the 800" Ottawa will
be reached at 80 tomorrow morning
The special train will leave there at 4
o'clock Thursday morning and arrive at
Montreal at 8 a. m. The 500 officials
have been constant in their efforts to
ceeded admirably. General Manager
Underwood has kept the party informed
of the progress of events at home by
frequent specials, etc. The impression
is growing that Mayor Winston brought
the aldermen out on this trip for the
purpose of lecturing them on the prin-
ciples of municipal government.

During the halcyon days Of the roller

in and asked If he could hire the floor
for one hour. 1t was about 10 o'clock in

he was told that he could have 1t for SO.
T Il want to bring friend here and

That was agreed to. and he paid the
money and went away. When he re-
turned ten minutes later he had his
friend with him, and he selected one
pair of rollers, strapped them to the
mans feet and after little led him out
to the center of the floor, where there
was single column reaching up to the
roof. Here he lOOsened his hold, stood
back with folded arms and said:
James Burns, you are cheat and a
liar! You lied me out of $50 year
ago!''
Look here, Sam; what does this
mean ?' demanded the other. who was
clinging to the post for support,

The other made move at him, but
''slewed'' right and left, and came near
going down. He got new grip Oh the
post, and stood there with his legs wab-

lastly regarded him for q long minute,
and then exclaimed:

He advanced and spat, and then
turned on his heel and walked away.
The other was so mad and helpless that
he shed tears, and he offered an en-
ploye IS to come and help him sit down
and get his skates off. This was against
the bargain, however, and no one went
near him. He got so mad that he de-
cided to try it alone, but the instant he
let go of the post one foot shot one way
and the other in contrary direction,
and he came down like block of stone.
After ten minutes work he got his
skates off, and then he crawled across
the floor on hands and knees. His COM
panion had disappeared, but as he was
ready to follow after him he waved his
hand to us and said:

THE JUNK DEALER FREE.
Jacob Slayman Gets q Verdict of
Not Guilty.

The man who was indicted by the
grand jury for receiving stolen prop
erty from the six young boys who took
brass findings from the fiat cars and
sold them to him, went free, and Jacob
Slayman can now return to his business
again. The case was dull one in the
extreme. The testimony was confined
to that Of the boys themselves, the pris-
oner and a few who were willing to
come i'll and testify as to his previO US
good character. The boys said they
had told him that they had stolen the
stuff they sought to sell him, but he in
sisted that they impressed him that they
had found them on the streets. The at
torneys spoke but few moments, that
for the defense asking for dismissal
because the boys were accomplices and
their testimony was not corrOborated.
The case went to the jury, which re-
turned verdict OF not guilty in an in
credibly short time.

The Tramp and the Violin.

1cWiS kNtc oOulHhA-
A downtown music store in Lewiston
was surprised on Friday at the entrance
of a tramp-a ragged, veteran tramp
who said that he was not vicious. but
only unfortunate. what made you
come into music storeW asked the
proprietor. The thin cheeks of the
tramp flushed as he said: ~ am mu-
sician." Having said that he played
the violin, they handed him one, and he
laid a loving cheek against the fiddle
and drew bow of finished power across
the trembling strings.
For half an hour he played to rapt
audience, preluding with the skill of an
improvisation and weaving the theme
into many an airy fancy Of the strings.
Sometimes he marched up and down
up and down the floor playing and talk
ing. A new light was born In his eye.
His rags were forgotten by all who saw
him. His cheeks were flushed, and his
gray hair was tossed back by one i'm
petnOus wave of his head. In the i'm
agery of the strings were palaces of de-
light and strange visions Of wasted
hopes and years. In the pleading voice
of the violin one heard voice of long
ago, a mothers tone and a baby's cry.
That's all right" said he, as he laid
it down. and silence fell upon all
around, broken by the querulous voice
of the tramp as he said: "Gim'm the
price of supper"

APERPLEXING PROBLEM,
The Street Railway Goes Back to
the Old System of Transfers.

the Old System of Transfers.
This morning the street railway COM
pany will discard the system of trans
fers that has been in vogue for the past
two weeks and will return to the sys-
tenn used before that was put in force,
that of stationing transfer agents at the
street corners to Look after the interests
of the company. This change has been
brought about by vigorous series of
kicks from the public, both through the
company. Two men have even taken
steps to bring suit for alleged damages
brought about by the new system. Gen
eral Manager Goodrich id yesterday:
I'VE still think the present system
Of transfers is the best that can be de-
vised for the interests both of the public
and Of ourselves, but we are not bull
headed enough to insist upon it in the
face of the opposition it has excited.
The regulation of a transfer system that
will be satisfactory for both parties is
difficult thing. 1t is necessary in any
event to have transfer agents at the cor
ners to look after the interests of the
company. Though we recognize the
fact that nearly all the conductors are
honest, still, you will find rogues among
any class of men. Though the system
we are about to adopt is not the most
satisfactory one to us, still, we are
forced to adopt it to stop perfect del
uge Of complaints that is coming in"

BIethen's Coal Mine.

Some time ago A. j. Blethen was
jubilant because the court dismissed
the action of Carpenter & Co. against
him, on the grounds that the contract
under which the suit was brought was
not valid one. A new trial was asked
for, and when Judge Hooker heard the
arguments he took them under advise
ment, and yesterday filed his order
stating that the court had erred. The
new trial is therefore granted. The
action is brought to compel the Mime
apols editor to live up to contract to
supply the plaintiff with coal from his
Illinois mine, or stand the dam ages OF a
failure so to do.
