Close,

Close.
FALL RIVER, Mass, Sept. 1.-When
the court opened Lizzie and her counsel
were not in their seats, and it was not
until ten minutes later that Lizzie ap-
peared, leaning on the arm of Rev. Mr..
Jubb, bearing upon her face the same
look of stoical indifference which has
characterized her appearance heretofore
in general.
The morning was taken up with the
examination of Marshal Rufus b. Hill
lizard. He described his visit to the
house and the examination of the barn
and the yards of the adjacent property;
his examination of the bodies and the
condition Of the rooms in which they
they were found; described the blood
stains on the parlor door and pillow
shams and piece of marble. The house
was thoroughly searched by himself
and the officers. No opposition was
made by either Emma or Lizzie Borden.
In the afternoon DIR. Benjamin j.
Handy testified to seeing stranger be-
tween DIR. Kelly's house and the Borden
mansion about 1920 of the day of the
murder. His attention was attracted to
him because he was pale, very pale
young man. medium height. dressed in
light gray clothes; he could not tell
what attracted his attention; had seen
the man before, he thought, few days
before on the same street.
Mrs. Della s. Manley, who lives on
Second street, was next called. She was
in tho vicinity of the house on the
morning of the murder about 9:45. She
SAW somebody standing near the north
gate during that time. The man wit
ness saw was standing in the gateway
and appeared to be young man.
Mary Ann Chagnon, wife of DIR.
Chagnon, was at home the night before
the murder, but not on the day of the
murder; the night before the murder
the witness said that between ! / and
11:s0 o'clock she positively heard
noise las though somebody was jump
ing the fence, the sound appeared to
come from the back of the house near
the kitchen, where there is fence be-
tween the Borden and Chagnon yards.
Martha Chagnon, daughter of the
preceding witness, testified in corrobo-
ration of her mother in regard to the
noise at the fence.
May E. Brighans, Charles f. Sawyer
and Jerome G. Borden were examined,
but their testimony was of no particular
Importance. The evidence was then
closed. The arguments began at 1890
this morning.

she lREcolLEo, BUT DIDN'T KICK.
Heroic Conduct of Tall, Graceful Girl
at tho supreme Test of Love.


Two tall, graceful girls strolled slow
~ along the beach earnestly conversing.
They were conspicuous in the throng,
and many an admiring glance was
turned toward them as they sauntered
to and fro. A cloudless sky was reflect
ed in calm waters below, while scarcely
a breath of air was stirring.
Tho girl in the pure white blazer was
doing most of the talking.
"lt is all very WELL" she was saying,
ITO insist that you would die for the
man you love, but the sacrifice is quite
another thing"
The girl with the blue yachting cap
shrugged her shoulders.
"You speak," she observed, "like one
who had made the sacrifice"
al have the right SO to speak"
Affecting recollections poured tumul-
tuously over the soul of the girl in the
white blazer. Her lips trembled and
the superb eyes bent upon the sand of
the beach glistened with the dew of
gathering tears.
The girl in the blue cap smiled haught-
lily.
"Indeed," she sarcastically retorted,
show very interestingi And how does
1t feel to actually die for the man you
lover"
Reproachfully the girl in the white
blazer directed her gaze upon the girl
with the blue yachting cap
"You shall not make light of it."
"Forgive me-"
For time they walked in silence
Both were deeply affected, the one filled
with remembrances of the past; the
other her resentment gone, with wo-
manly sympathy.
"Tell me about it, Ethel"
The girl in the blue catching cap was
tenderly persuasive.

With quick movement the tears were

The State Chronicle last night from
Goldsboro says that Dr. ExuIn, Third
party candidate for governor, has con-
ided to most intimate friends that his
party has perfected arrangements with
the national Republican headquarters
SO that in case Harrison's election looks
favorable on Nov. the entire vote of
the Third party will be thrown into the
hands of the Republicans. The latter
in return have pledged themselves to
give their entire vote to Weaver if Har-

doubtful that day. This bargain, ac-
cording to DR.. Exum, was made to beat
Cleveland at any hazard and with an
express view Of breaking down the

After Brook Farm the Curtis brothers
remained two years in Concord, Mass,
and vicinity, working farm, studying
and writing, and at the end of that
siIne George William had acquired a
standing RS q writer which enabled him
70 go abroad. He went in 1915 and re-
turned in 1850. The result appears in
ms famous works on Syria and Egypt,
which caused him to be known for
many years as the "Howadji," or Pill
grim, He was extremely fortunate in
trayersing Egypt Immediately after
travel there was first made safe, and
before modern research and the science
of archaeology had made the country
familiar. He had written for the New

find himself in the front rank of young
writers.
Yet his first independent ventures
were disastrous. After three years on

AT opHIR FARM.
The President Visits the Candidate for
Vice President

Vice President.
WHITE PLAINS, N. ", Sept 1.-Presi-
dent Harrison spent busy day as the
guest of his political running mate. He
left Loon Lake in company with Pri-
vate Secretary Halford and Executive
Clerk Tibbett, and was Joined at Mott
Haven by Russell b. Harrison. Fore
most in the gathering at White Plains
were Mr.. Reid and Chairman Carter, of
the Republican national committee.
The greetings over, Mr.. Harrison en-
tered Mr.. Reid's private carriage and
the party started off for Ophir farm,
Mr.. Reid's country place, three miles
distant.
Senator Aldrich, of Rhode Island,
was an early visitor. The president
explained to Mr.. Aldrich that he wished
to consult him concerning his letter of
acceptance, particularly with regard to
the tariff views expressed in it. In the
presence of Mr. Reid and Senator
Alarich the president read SO much of
the letter as he had completed, and Mr..
Aldrich made several valuable sugges-
tions which will probably be adopted.
The letter will contain about 5000
words and will probably be completed
in time for the papers on Monday morn
ing.
By far the most important visitor at
the Ophir farm during the day was
Thomas G. Platt. He came early and
remained lato. He was closeted with
the president for a long time. 1t is said
that Mr.. Platt and the president had
decided to bury the hatchet, and that
during the campaign Mr.. Platt would
assist the party in every way towards
securing the election of Harrison. The
president left New York at midnight
for Washington.

The old formula for Bordeaux mix

pounds of copper sulphate in sixteen
gallons of water; in another vessel
slack four pounds of fresh lime in six
gallons of water. When the lime mix
ture has cooled to the temperature of
