her attorneys when they entered. The
charge to the jury treated of her pres
ent insanity and nothing else. The
Judge stated that neither in the history
of American nor English Jurisprudence
was there a case like that of Alice
Mitchelrs. AS to the medical experts,
he read from an eminent law writer
who said that in matters physiological,
there is no hypothesis SO monstrous that
an expert cannot lse fou nd to swear to it
on the stand. When the jury retired
Alice Mitchell engaged in a sprightly
conversation with one of the attorneys
and became facetious, while her fathers
and brothers faces wore look of terri
BILE anxiety. Once a loud burst of
laughter escaped her. Neither the gal
lows nor the lunatic asylum with its
horrors has any terror for this wonder
fully constructed girl. When the jury
returned verdict declaring her insane
her fathers frame shook with emotion.
Miss Mitchell looked at the jury, then
at her father, and smiled. An order
was entered for her confneme Mt in the
lunatic asylum at Bolivar. The young
lady seemed highly amused at being
ing dubbed a lunatic as she left the
courtroom for the Jail. d.. ...sf
If Alice Mitchell should recover she
will then be placed on trial for murder,
and then she can plead that she was
insane at the time of the committing of
the crime. If she should be able to
sustain her plea then she would go
scot free. In the opinion of the ex-
perts, however, her insanity is pro-
gressive and it is only a question of
time when this victim of erratic mania
will be drivelling idiot through the
decay of brain tissue.
Lille Johnson was indicted jointly
with Alice Mitchell, and this fin ding of
the jury will probably cause a cessa-
tion of the prosecution in her case.
Miss johnson has been a constant at
tendant during the trial, and she has
displayed great anxiety on its outcome.
1t is said that this young lady will die
of consumption in a short time.
Miss Mitchell passed the evening
quietly in her room at the Jail, where
she had her mother as companion:
She expressed a wish to see Freda
Wards grave before being taken to
Bolivar, but beyond that she seemed to
be absolutely Indifferent as to what
may be done with her.

AN AWFUL SPECTACLE.
An Unfortunate Aeronaut Killed and
Buried at the Same Time.


Buried at the Same Time.
ST. PAUL, Mimi, Aug. Five thou
sand people at Inver Grove, just south
of this city, were the Mortified specta-
tors, yesterday afternoon, of a terrible
fall to death of Prof. Hobe, the aero
naut. When the balloon reached the
usual altitude Hobe could be seen tug
ging at the valve cord, which would
not work. Before he could manipulate
it the balloon was at least 5000 feet
above the earth. In the regular way
he cut loose the parachute and shot
rapidly earthward, but to the horror OF
the crowd the parachute did not ex-
pand and the unfortunate aeronaut fell
like shot toward the ground. So
great was the force of the fall that he
was driven into the soft ground to a
depth of ten feet and instantly killed.
It required the work of an hour to
reach the body and death had occurred
long before.

No proper kind of an editor

such that any editor, who feels that

wholesome it may be to any indi-

fact that he is not arrested and

of the crime committed is due to
this traffic. The chief part are for

DIR. Lyman Abbott. the noted
Brooklyn preacher, recently de-
livered these bold words: "In the
past this Bible has been regarded
as without error. We have
thought it an authority on theol-
ogy, and on almost every subject
of human knowledge, so thai
there was no error or mistake in
it. But there are very few who
hold this opinion now They
think they do, but, if they will
consider little where this opinion
will lead them. they will quickly
see that they do not, In the first
chapter of Genesis we find that the
world was made in six days. All
geology is mistaken. The day is

far as public opinion goes con-
victed, of willfully and mali
ciously lying. This man had
slandered in print a true, pure
Catholic woman only because her
husband was a saloon-keeper He
had also said in print of the Chris
tian church at Paris. KY, that if
he had to bore for hell he would
sink his auger at it's front door,
because the crust was thinest
there. He said this because some
of the members of that congrega-
ton were distillers. Yet, in face
of these and other facts equally as
damaging, this minister from the
pulpit of a Christian church an
nounces that no one has ever ac-
cused this social and moral out
cast of lying; and, common infdel
and blasphemer as he is, the min
lister of the meek and lowly Jesus
takes him to his bosom and de-
fends him."

that baptism has taken the place
of circumcision by a divine degree
The whole system of sacrifices we
have abandoned. The man who
thinks he believes in the infalli-
bility of the Bible turns to moral
law. He takes the Ten Com
mandments; they stand as moral
standards. He knows they are
not. He knows a man may keep
every one of the Ten Commend
ments and vet be not admitted to
decent society in New York, and
the civilized standards of the
nineteenth century in New York
are not too high for Christian
living. He opens the Bible at u
Psalm which asks God not to for
give and then at the Sermon on
the Mount, which prays God to
forgive sinners, and he can not
reconcile them. Let us be true
to ourselves in this matter. Such
things as these confront us if we

and that Sunday is with them

should we think more stringent
laws would be.

A man who spells it ''total alb
stainance" as this man does, and
then spells Prohibition with little
p, is not much of an authority on
the subject, but his testimony, as
far as it is competent, helps Pro
hibition with a big p. Prohibit
tion in Kentucky without it in
Ohio, would help Kentucky aboot
as much as if the government
were to make it d penitentiary
offense to make counterfeit money
in Kentucky, and allow it to be
made in Ohio.
Nothing but National Prohibi-
ton with a big p, and possibly with
big n, will amount to anything,
much futher than that state Pro-
hibition is a necessary preliminary
step to National. The man who
wrote that letter is about smart
enough to think that he is making
an argument against the Prohibi-
tion party, when really he is only
echoing what We all insist upon.

The Baldwin Compounds.

The Baldwin compound locomotives
now in use on the Pennsylvania rail-
road are said to be doing the same
work as the simple locomotives OF the
same size with perfect case and with
a material saving In fuel. The very
veavy loads are pulled through the
long, slow drags of mountain service
with eminent success. About half of
the work now going on In the Baldwin
Locomotive Work is on compound 10
comotives. The boil ers for compound
locomotives are all made with factor
or safety of Ia when carrying a
pressure of 200 pounds to the squar Q
inch. This is done to inspire conf
dence in the high pressure and to in
sure the use of at least $50 pounds
working pressure, thereby obviating
the use OF larger cylinders to do the
necessary work.
These compounds are becoming
noted as successful spark preventers,
and some of the railroad officers, who
care little about fuel-saving, and
therefore, have no interest In the
compound principle, are greatly
pleased with the habit the engines
have of leaving the sparks In the fire.
