THE LINGO TRIAL.

Every Effort Being Made to Connect Mrs
Miller's Husband with the Crime.
CAMDEN, N. j., Nov. 5.-Ex-Jud sc
Wescott, senior counsel for Francis Lingo
is trying hard to prove that John Miller
murdered his wife. His theory is that
the finding of a bloody glove of his wifi.
in a sewing machine drawer in the dwell
ing by Mrs. Mick, one glove being on the
body when 1t was found in the bush lot,
and the allie sed statement of Miller that
his wife's throat was cut, before the body
was discovered, go to implicate the hus-
band.
When the afternoon session of the cour'
was begun the cross examination of Mary
Collins was again taken up. She said
she saw one of the gloves while wet, ap-
parently with water. as her sister lay in
the ice box, and never saw the other
glove
The dead woman's clothing was offered
in evidence
Charles Wilson, colored, Miller's hired
man, was the next witness. He testified
that Lingo left the Miller resideice OIL
the day of the murder at 6:3O n. M. He
iWilson) knew that Miller WAS going to
Camden that day, and saw him when he
returned.
The witness came to Camden the next
morning (Friday), but did not know that
Mrs Miller had not been at home the
night before. He did not sleep there.
On cross examination Wilson testified
that Miller said nothing about his wife's
absence except that he was going to the
station. The witness was asked if he
saw Mrs. Miller go in or out of the bush
lot and said ne did not.
County Physician Iszard next told of
the finding OF the body, and as he began
20 narrate the examination of Lingos
clothing and how he had taken the pris-
oner's undershirt because it had spots on
it that resembled blood, the court ad-
journed.

"PETER'S PENCE"
Something of the History of Ancient
Catholic Custom.

Catholic Custom.
A custom of so ancient date in the
Catholic world that it runs back to the
days when civilization was young is the
annual contribution of "Peter's Pence"
or tribute to the pope. One day in each
year in all the Catholic churches
throughout the world contribution is
taken up, the proceeds of which are
sent to the pope. He uses the money
for dcfraying the expenses of the adj
ministration of affairs in the Holy See.
The custom of collecting Peters
Pence" or Rome scot" as it is some
times called, is of ancient origin
Centuries ago it was first observed by
the English people, tribute then being
levied to the extent of penny for
every house, payment being made
about August of each year.
The pence was first tribute offered
to the Roman pontiff in reverence to
the memory of st. Peter, whose success
sor the pope is believed by Roman
Catholics to be. The first idea appears
to have come from England. 1t is as
cribed by some to Ina, king of the West
Saxons, who, in A. d. T21, went as a
pilgrim to Rome and there founded a
hospital Tor AnGJo-SaXOn pilgrims, to
be maintained by an annual contribu-
ton from England. Others say the
honor is due to Offa and Ethelwulf, at
least in the sense of their having ex-
tended the custom to the entire Saxon
territory.
The tribute consisted then in the pay
ment of a silver penny by every family
who possessed land or cattle of the
yearly value of thirty pence. 1t was
collected during the five weeks be-
tween st. Peters and St Pauls day and
August l. Since the total annexation
of the papal states TO the kingdom of
Italy, this tribute has been largely in
creased in France, Belgium, England
and Ireland. When Ina, king of the
SaXons, inaugurated the custom now
time-honored, a penny yearly was the
amount collected from each person.-N.

Robbing a Gators Nest.

One day recently Il citizen found a
nest of baby alligators in Kersey lake
and proceeded at once to gather them
in. About the time he had captured
all he could conveniently handle he saw
the old mother gator, who was mon
ster twelve feet in length, coming
straight at him with wide-open jaws.
As he had no gun with him he did the
next best thing and took to his heels as
fast as he could run, with the big alli-
gator after him and gaining at every
jump. Then he began to spill the baby
gators along the road, hoping the old
saurian would stop to attend to them.
But in this he was disappointed, for the
old mother gator kept right along after
him in dead earnest. He made for a
vacant house near by and fortunately
found the door unlocked, but just as he
banged the door shut he saw the furi-
Gus old mother just coming up the steps
with blazing eyes and open jaws. He
threw the last baby gator square into
the extended jaws of its mother as he
closed the door. Antonio Herald.

MEMORIES.

The summer sun is sinking now,
The western sky is an aglow,
As wandering through the meadow paths.
The silent shadows come and go:
Tho meadows where, in childish glee,
1 gathered flowers or chased the bee.
I bend and pluck q daisy fair,
While tears my eyes are filling fast,
For memory comes, with silent step,
And lifts the vail that hides the past,
While backward roll the by-gone years,
So fraught with sorrows, joys and tearA
see myself, slender youth,
So full of plans for coming years,
AS slowly home drove the cows,
Naught knowing of life's cares and fears,
But longing much the world to see,
And planning all that 1 would be.
Oh, eager hopeful, trusting hearth
You did not know lifes thorny way,
Or, even when earth's laurels won,
How quick they fade at close of day.
Would l could be n yout h again,
So free from heartache, care and pain.

For Safety in Mines.

The prevention of accidents from ex-
plosive gasscs in coal mines by means
of water cartridge" as proposed
some time since, appears on experiment
to have proved very successful AS
managed for this purpose, an explosive
charge of tonite is placed in Il tin tube
of size suitable for a shot hole, the
tube is filled with water, and the cart
ridge suspended in it by means of q
wire COMMISSION with the detonator,
the tube being securely plugged, the
cartridge placed in the shot-hole, and
rammed in the usu al way. Thus, as is
claimed, there is no flame when the
charge is exploded and con sequently no
danger of igniting gas, while at the
same time the coal is not shattered as
in ordinary blasting. An account of
some of the tests made with this cart
ridge shows that in one case four ordi-
nary shots were fired in the coal with
four-ounce charges of tonite without
any fame being observed. In another
and severe test two blowout shots
were tried in hard metal with no indi-
cation of flame, while, as a final test, a
loaded cart ridge was fired on the mine
floor, and again there was no indica-
ton of flame, these results showing I'M
questionably the absolutely fameless
properties of the cartridge.-N. Y. Sun.

THE STRAWBERRY.
Its Early History and the Wide Zone i'll
Which 1t Is Found.

Its Early History and the wide Zone i'll
Which 1t Is Found.
The wild berry is very widely
diffuscd over the surface of the earth,
being found in the chill regions of the
north as well as in the sunny chimes OF
the south. 1t is not tropical plant
however, and, except on mountain
sides, is not found south of latitude
thirty-eight degrees north On the Eu-
ropean continent it grows extensively
from the Lapland and the Shetland
isles to Italy and Greece. 1t is also
found throughout western Asia, but is
unknown in China and Japan. 1t has
grown abundantly on the bleak hills of
Iceland for centuries. 1t is found in
America from Labrador and British Co
lumbia to the pine woods of the south
ern states and on the high lands of
Mexico and the Andes. The hardy
plant, with its tiny scarlet berry, may
be said to girdle the earth on the line
of the Polar circle, and several hundred
miles southwark, except that it is not
found in the basin of the river Amoor, in
Siberia. Though history and story are
alike silent as to the cultivation of the
straw berry in early times, we know
that the fruit was we'll known in En-
Sldu(l III inc III Uccnll ollihSS-
peare has three illusions to strawber-
ries. In Henry V" the Bishop of Ely,
. in illustration of the good qualities
which the young king possessed, in spite
of his wild habits and objectionable
companions, says:
The strawberry grows underneath the nettle,
And wholesome berries thrive and ripen best
Neighbored by fruit of bascr quality.
The reference here is, obviously, to
the wild berry. But in the play of
Richard Ill" Strawberries are spoken
| of as growing in the Bishop of Ely's
| garden ut Holborn, and this seems to
show that the berry was cultivated
| with considera bic care as early as the
latter part of the fifteenth century,;
though Haydn's dictionary of Dates as
serts that the common strawberry was
brought to England from Flanders in
| 1880. 1t is curious to note that one
hundred years after the crafty Richard
| begged some of the bishops straw ber-
| ries, we find n description of a garden
at Holborn, the property of the rich
| Barber-surgeon Gerard, wherein four
kinds of strawberries-a great variety
for the time-were successfully cult
waited. The third Shakspearean allu-
| sion to this fruit is in reference to the
I Inflated handkerchief of Desdcmona,
| which was spotted with strawberries. y
