there were $685. 50 births during the
year 1890 and SO, sos deaths Although

the annual deaths In France would

den and startling revelation was entire
ly unexpected; and the officials are try
ing 70 discover the causes Of this
phenomenon, which stands absolutely
unique on the continent The main
reason, doubtless, for the present alb
normal condition Is the widespread
aversion 10 large families. In France,
the one or two system prevails. On the
average, France reports l5J children TO
every 100 families. In other countries
the average Is more than 500; In Eng
land as great as $50. A singular phe-

that in 1890 the number OF illcgitimate
children of French mothers decreased

NO TRACES OF POISON.
Prof. Woods Testimony UDsets
the Poisoning Theory in the
EOIden Case.
Attorneys for the Defense Assert
That the Governments Case
Is Incomplete.

FALL RIVER, Mass, Aug. 30.-There
were many surprises in the Borden
hearing today, not the least among them
being Prof. L. S. Woods testimony. 1t
was the popular belief that he would
show some traces OF poison iii the stom-
achs of the murdered people, and would
produce Notwithstanding ship car
penter'S ak having blade from five to
seven inches in length. On the con-
trary, he pulled out ali innocent looking
Ratchet from medium-sized travelling
valise and quietly but firmly told
the court that he could not
find the slightest trace of blood
on it, nor was it allowed that such an
instrument in the hands CT a woman
could int1lct such CHASTITY wounds. He
also demolished the prussic acid and
other poisoning theories, and the crowd
in the court room wondered what was
coming next. Prof. Wood looked for
stains of all kind of common poisons.
His failure to find them added much
weight to Miss Lizzie's strong denials
that she was ever in Smiths drug store
During Undertaken Winyard's cross
examination, Attorney Jennings dweIt
at length Oil the position OF some keys
on the keyring taken from Mr.. Borders
pocket. The same matter was referred
to i'll Mr.. Doian'S cross-eXamination
The purpOrt of it had not yet appeared.
John Dintle'S testimony, regarding the
possibility of Il man going over the back
fence after having committed the muir
ders without being seen, drives another
contradictory naii into the defendant
theory that some one had escaped unde-
tected that way.
] Officer Philip Harrington's descrip-
ton Of Miss Borden's cool and collected
manner was strangely at variance with
the aSitations spoken Of by others. He
also emphasized well recognized fact
when he said that Miss Lizzie heard her
father say he would not let his property
for any such purpose, meaning the
keeping of a liquor store.
| day TO the general public was that given
by District Attorney Knowlton when
he READ Miss Borden's testimony at the
inquest. Her answers to District At
tOrney Knowlton at that time were
oftentimeS sharp and of secretiye
character.
Tonight there is great deal Of talk
about the intentions OF the defense.
MI. Adams and Mr.. Jennings assert
that the governments presentation of
its case was incomplete, and have de-
cided TO cali many witnesses who were
supposed to have been summoned by
the state DR.. Bowen and many others
will be called.
