DEFINING ON TRIAL.
The Australian Murderer Before the
C6urt-Plea of Not Guilty Withdrawn.


MELBOURNE, April 2s.-The judge TO
whom. Mr.. Lyle made application yes
terday for further adjournment of the
trial of Frederick Bailey Deeming, to-
day refused to grant any further post
ponement.
The Standard to-day says II Is In po-
sition TO announce without reserve that
Deeming has confessed TO his lawyers
,and the doctors who examined him that
he committed a majority Of the Jack
the Ripper" crimes in the White Chapel
district OF London. The article has ere
ated a great sensation.
The demeanor OF Deeming when he
was arraigned for trial in the Criminal
Court to-day presented marked differ
ence from his conduct at the inquest.
To-day he was quiet and depressed
and he looked very much disappointed
when the Judge decided that no further
delay would be granted and that the
trial should at once be proceeded with.
After the usual iormalities had been
complied with and the jury selected,
the public prosecutor began his opening
speech, in which he arrayed with al
most irresistible force all the facts in
connection with the murder OF the Dris-
oner's wife. Deeming listened closely
TO the prosecutors speech, paying no
attention to the crowd that thronged
the court room, eager to see the crimi-
nal whose many evil deeds have brought
him worldwide notoriety.
All the witnesses who had testified at
the coroner's inquest were present to-
day. Evidence was given as 10 the lind
ing of the body of Mrs. Williams $50 the
name runs in the indictment) under the
flooring OF the empty house at Windsor.
DIR. Mulens testified that in his opin-
ion the woman mad been struck v.o-
lents blow on the head prior TO her
throat having been cut. A number OF
witnesses gave evidence 70 establish the
identity of the dead woman. Counsel
for the prisoner asked the Judge TO dis
regard the plea OF not guilty previously
entered by Deeming. He had pleaded
thus. counsel said, against the advice Of
his lawyers, and he now desired to with
draw that plea.
The Judge said that later stage OF
the proceedings he would ask the jury
concerning the request ef the counsel.
The Court then adjourned.

lowing:

A soldier with the above record buried In the
pottersfeld in New York City! WellI am
thankful that the State of Wisconsin has not
vet sunk SO low in the scale of common hu-
manity as to bury one of her soldier sons in
the common pottersfeld. Although we are
called denzens Of the Wild and Woolly West.
no soldier of this State has yet had To hide
his head in shame at being told that one of her
soldier boys was buried as a common pauper
but it is only in keeping with the care that so
far has been accorded to the remains of the i'm
mortal Grant who lies buried as an ad vertise-
ment of the real estate dealers of the noble city
of New York.
Now, in conclusion, hope that the soldiers

tees, and when the next soldier of the Union
is cast into the pottersfeld in the city of New
York, we hope that it will be done at night,
In the dark of the moon, in order to hide as
much as possible the shame and degradation
into which the people of the city of New York
have fallen in their ungodly strife after the
almighty dollar

With the thin Summer dresses very dainty
underwaists must be worn. VaIeuciennes lace
or the imitation of it sold in the stores, makes
one of the prettiest trimmings for skirts and
underwaists. The only trouble with it is, that
unless washed carefully, and given good care
1t does not wear well. Skirts made of India
linen are gored and have darts to make them
mt nicely. The fulness in the back is drawn
up on draw strings, and these fasten the skirt
rufte of lace with a heading of beading fin
ishes the skirt. The beading Is narrow
white braid like that used In finishing the
ready-made underwear, and can be gotten at
almost any dry-goods or notion store. The
skirts are very light and easily laundried, no
special rubbing being required, unless the
skirts have been allowed to get unusually soied.
Two OF these skirts are worn instead of one of
the other kind, but it Is easier to wash and iron
five or six of the soft dainty ones than one of
the heavy muslin ones, with its tucks and
ruflles and thick band

wash we'll, and look we'll. Made up in any Of
the jacket styles, with a full front of white
null, or in surplice style with white embroi-
derry trimmings they are fresh and clean
looking. A trimming of velvet ribbon used in
bands gives stylish touch to these gowns.
Summer gowns are prettier made up simply
than deliberately.
Fresh air and clean water are the things
that make bright complexions.
