LONDON, June 18.-In tho Evelyn-Hu
burt case to-day Attorney General Sir
Richard Webster, on behalf of Hurlburt,
said the most deliberate perjury had been
proved against Miss Evelyn in regard to
the relations which existed between herself
and both Huriburt and jackson. The Jury
were unanimous that no promise of mar
riage had ever been made. Sir Richard
also said of the bogus letters which had been
produced, that some of the letters were of so
horrible Il nature that they could hard
ly be associated with any mans promise to
marry. During the course of Sir Richard
Webster's argument Master of Rolls Lord
Esher, asked whether there wus any evil
dence that the defense had tried to find
the man Wilfred Murray, who was alleged
to be the real author of the indecent letters.
Candy, on behalf of Miss Evlyn, replied
that there was not the slightest evidence
that the defense had tried in any way to
locete Murray.

A SCOTCHMAN'S SNOOZE.

He Took 1t on a Doorstep, but 1t Cost
Him About $1,000.
James Stewart owns some coal mines
over In Scotland. he says himself that he
is pretty well fixed. In November he con-
cluded to take trip to Canada on a voyage
of inspection, according to the Boston News,
and on the 10th of that month lie arrived at
Quebec. From Quebec he took the Cana
dian Pacific Railroad and landed in Vancou-
yer.
After looking into the mining business In
that section he headed eastward again. and
without incident found himself in Montreal.
Here an idea struck him, for entertaining
which he is doubtless now kicking himself
The idea was to take in New England on
his return trip to his home over the ocean.
He determined to do so.
He came to Portland, Me. There he
bought a ticket for Scotland by the Allan
line. and hurried on to Boston. Here he
became very gay and free, and drank con-
siderable liquids of exhllarating effect. He
spent Monday wandering around aimlessly
for time, taking in various parts of the
city, until he brought up in the North End,
There he became weary and lay down. 1t
was in doorway in Bilerica Park.
When he lay down in the doorway an in
ventory of what was in his pockets was as
follows: A gold watch and chain. worth
S175; foreign coal mine bonds, value $1,000;
his ticket to Liverpool, ana in hard coin
$3.50 OF.
He went to sleep, and when he woke up
he still retained the two cents. The ticket
was also there. The rest had gone while
he dreamed the hours away. The thieves
had overlooked diamond ring on his finger
which cost $3.50.
Mr.. Stewart put in the next few hours
trying to convince himself that he had been
robbed, and was without money, except the
aforementioned two cents. in strange city.
While he was thinking it over he wandered
into the third police precinct and Patrolman
Gray ran across him. Gray questioned the
wherefore of his sadness and took him to
the station. He slept there all night
Later, Gray got him ticket for Portland.
There he took the steamer for Glasgow.

A Desperate Encounter Between Angry

A desperate duel was fought one day in
August. 1856, by two girls about IS years of
age-Sen0ritas EspinoZa and Morena-em-
ployed at the tobacco factory in Seville,
that workshop in front of which the first
act of me opera of Carmen" is supposed
to eventuate. Their seconds were men,
who furnished each girl with a dirk, after
which they were blndfolded and placed in
an uniighted room for half an hour and
commanded to "FightH Then the room
was locked and the seconds joined the other
employees at dinner. after which they opened
the door and found both girls alive, but
mortally wounded. One of the combatants
was cut in twenty-seven different places
and was bleeding to death, while the
other received severe wounds IN ten and
fatal ones in two places. The two seconds
attempted to escape, but were arrested and
sent TO prison for six months. The girls
never spoke after the door was opened, but
one OF them lived in great agony for several
hours
Near Madrid. December 10, 1890, Captain
Romero and Captain Murillo fought with

and manned for life. Subsequently the

were arrested, and the former were dis

| One of the latter after paying his fine chal-

&C epted and received three wounds. He

One of Mrs. Jack" Gardner's Jewels.
There are several ladies in Boston who
make precious stones the chief feature of
their ornaments.
Mrs. Gardner. for instance, has a stone of
wonderful beauty, which she shows occa-
sonally TO her guests. 1t is some sort of a
diamond, but instead Of rejecting the daZ-
zing splendor of rainbow colors. 1t throws
out steady light, bright, pure and lumin-
Gus, and looks as IL the center contained a
drop of some mysteriOusly beautiful liquid.
She bought it in India, and paid $1,000 for
it.
Knowing how religiously austere she Is,
think 1t Is more than likely she values it
not as an ornament. but as an amulet Of
charity and beauty.-Boston Globe.
