moist clay i'm style which the inexpe-

trouble In accomplishing, gives to the
occupation an interest TO begin with,
which only increases as we progress.
Continuing we see earthenware plates,
cups. saucers, pitchers, various forms OF
dishes and large platters. rapidly worked
from a shapeless ball TO an article OF use.
Small butter plates and lower dishes are
stamped by ponderous machine, direct
from the soft clay, after little harden

oro hacked In the earthenware jars with
sand between each article, and put into
the large kilns, which each hold many
thousands of the articles to be baked.
After baking two or three days they are
taken from the kilns, allowed to cool
and then examined. This in hurried
way completes the process of crockery
making or stoneware.
The china department is still more
difficult labor, and of course in the mix
ing still greater nicely in proportions
must be obtained. After the china
ware is taken from the kiln and cooled,
1t is taken to the painting, Furnishing,
printing or some other department
where beautiful work is done, and
another process of baking must be gone
through with. OF course each article
must be perfect, or is immediately
thrown away. This Is great draw
back and one which is expensive. The
worker must determine his grain in the
clay, as the carpenter does his wood, to
accomplish perfect piece OF work, and
this is often very difficult, in fine arti-
cEss. The house which | visited also

with these models and patterns, so that

masterpiece, which was made there and
has taken gold medals all over Europe.
It is probably twelve or fourteen feet

ual observer he appeared unmoved,
but there could be no doubt that he
realized his position, and it was by
great effort he maintained his com
posture.
There was scarcely man in the
crowd who disapproved of the YER
dict, and there were many expressions
of satisfaction that justice had been
done and the trial had been so prop
erly conducted. The people slowly
dispersed to their homes, the prisoner
was taken back to his cell, and anoth-
er step in the great tragedy had been
taken.

NOTES.

States Attorney Forrest w. Brown
made his reputation by his conduct Of
the case. He had worked up the evil
dence until it was simply invulnera-
ble-no point was left unguarded and
no emergency unprovided for. His
closing argument was a splendid eff
fort, logical, eloquent, convincing.
The net that he wove had no weak
places, aud the result could only be
one thing Captain Baylor's speech
was very strong one, and 1t had
great beauty. He made the utmost
of his case, and his appeal for the
prisoner was as earnest as Ii could
possibly be. Handicapped as he was
by having the weak side OF the case,
he fought nobly and cleverly for his
client. Mr. McCormick's speech was a
disappointment to the spectators, who
looked for a powerful and eloquent
address. He contented himself, how
ever, with simply rehearsing the evil
dence in as favorable light a. posi-
bic for the prisoner. The points he
made for the defense were anything
but strong ones, and were simply OPP
portunities for Mr. Brown 10 get In
some of his most telling blows. Mr.
Mccormick created a better impress
sion as an able cross-examineI than
he did ~ an eloquent pleader.
The REGISTER representative in
terviewed one Of the jurymen imme-
diately after the verdict was rendered.
He said that only one ballot was
taken-the jurors were unanimous as
to the guilt Of the prisoner. Most OF
the time they we've out was occupied
In reading the instructions. Ii Is a
singular tact that the jurors never
talked among themselves about the
case from the time they we're chosen
until after the argument was con
eluded.

FRIDAYS PROCEEDINGS.

There were more persons preSentin the
courtroom on Friday than at any pre-
vious day. Every inch of space was oc-
cupied, and the throng was packed so
tightly that it was very difficult for any
one to move through it. A number of
women were i'll the gallery.
The first business was whether or not
the letters submitted by the defense to
prove the prisoners insanity should be
admitted. These letters were written by
Smooth last fall to his sister, Mr.. Ferrell
and Rev. Mr.. Van Horne. The court
decided that they we're admissible as
evidence. They were of so indecent a
character, however, that they could not
be read aloud, so typewriter copies
were placed in the hands of the jury
men for their perusal. The following
letter was addressed to Charles Ferrell:
"Sir: have sent three copies of this
letter to Hagerstown to three different
parties and distributed five copies in
Shepherdstown. You should have gone
little more mild, for what this letter
tells you is so. H. +. SMOOTH.
In this letter was inclosed the one inn
proper TO puOlSn.
The following is a letter sent to Frank
Mcdaniel:
"Shepherdstown, w. Va.-Former
Friend: When you read the enclosed
letter, which is copy of one sent Mr..
Charles Terrell, you will perhaps say it
is a lie, but, as coming from ME on my
dying-I would say the same that have

had done her, but they would not listen
to me, and have driven me to my death
and forced me to do what have done
Pray for me and may God prosper you
in every way. H. F. SMooTz."
The following letter, written by Miss
Terrell to Smooth, was read to the jury:
"Hagerstown, Md, Monday July 40,
ISoI.-Harry: am not going to write a
letter. l feel in no condition since have
received yours to write or do anything
else. 1t is impossible for me to come

smaller on Thursday than at any pre-
vious day, but there were more ladies
in the gallery than there had been
before. The prisoner was cool and
collected in his manner, but his face
showed considerable anxiety.

When the court opened at half-past
0 o'clock Wednesday morning every
seat was occupied and all the stand
ing room was taken, even. A few
women appeared among the specta-
tors in the gallery. The three sisters,
the three brothers and little niece
of the prisoner sat near him in the
bar enclosure. The accused showed
the effects of the strain upon him, and
was hollow-eyed and notwithstanding.
DIR. A. S. Reynolds was the first
witness in the case, called by the
State. He testified that he was called
to see Susie Terrell on the evening of

reached her side. At the inquest on

Mikado \ = Fine showing Against
Major Wonder
That Montana-bred horses rank with the
best was show at Bryan, Ohio, on Sept. 8.
when Mikado. we'll known to all lovers OF
racing In Helena. came in second to the
great PAGER. Major Wonder, in three
straight heats. Major Wonder finished
only half = length ahead of Mikado in ono
heat. In the second heat Mikado was only
4 neck behind. In the third. however,
when Major Wonder won in 2:10. he came
in two and a half lengths ahead Of Mikado,
who was timed at 2:l211a2, q remarkably good
pacing record for the Helena horse. The
other horses in the race we're Sorrel Dan,
owned by G. A. Gosnell, of Rushville. Ind.
and Ell Monarch, owned by John Splan. Of
Cleveland. They finished third and fourth
in all three heats. It was the fres-for-all
pace for a purse Of $500. The official time
given for the three heats was 2:154, 2:14A
and 2:1O. Mikado's time in the last heat
was, as already stated, 2:121a. The Amerl-
can Trotter, speaking OF the event, says:
1.-The fres-for-all pace afforded opportunity
for the finest exhibition Of speed ever
given in the entire meeting, and gave to
Major Wonder, of Melroae Farm, Nashville,
Tenn, a pacing record of 2:1O, making the
last Quarter in twenty-nine seconds Four
starters scored, with Sorrel Dan in the lead,
but Major Wonder gained the lead before
the quarter pole, and finished half a
length in the lead, with the field strung.
Major Wonder wins the second heat u neck
ahead of Mikado, while in the third he
makes his fine record, with Mikado finish
ing two and a half seconds later. This REQ
ord certainly speaks we'll for 80 new q track
