THE LINGO MURDER.
John Miller, the Murdered Woman's
Husband, Questioned for Hours.


CAMDEN, N. j., Nov.-The crowd in
attendance at the Lingo murder trial in
Camden had increased yesterday, at the
opening of the second days session, so
that the constables had some difficulty
in seating the spectators. When the
room was comfortably filled the doors
were locked and no one was allowed 20
either enter or depart.
Court opened with its customary
promptness, and Lingo when brought in
by the sheriff took chair back of his
counsel directly facing the witness chair
and near the jury.
The cross-examiuation of John Miller,
husband of the murdered woman, was
resumed. Miller looked worn and
anxious when he climbed into the wit
ness chair, in front of the big map, and
midway between Judge Garrison and
the court clerk. He knew that he would
have to undergo for hours the fire of ex-
Judge Wescott, Lingo's chief counsel, on
the line of theory which Wescott has
evolved in his own mind that Miller has
a guilty knowledge of his wife's death.
All day long the prisoners counsel
continued his examination of the wit
ness, aud at times Mr.. Miller showed
his annoyance as query after query was
thrown at him by the willy lawyer. The
questions propOunded elected nothing
new, however, and when court ad-
journed the witness breathed sigh of
relief as he left the witness chair for
night of rest.

Bismarck Opposes the Army Bill.

BERLIN, Nov. 4.-Prince Bismarck has
allowed himself to be interviewed by
several journalists on the army bill. He
said that the first reason in favor of
passing it Is lacking, inasmuch as the
bill is not necessary. ut is highly i'm
probable, he said, ''that Germany will
have to fight with two fronts. Russia
will not declare war in case France
picks a quarrel with us, and if Russia
attacks us, which is unlikely, France
will await the event before moving"

Christ's Coat,

Gently put on exhibition at Treves, the
old town in Rhenish Prussia, have
failed, of course, in finding tie infor-
nation that would naturally be most
interesting, viz: How and where the
sacred garment has been kept during
the past nineteen centuries. The pur-
pose of this note is to enlighten read
ers on this important point.
The coat is said to have been spun bv
the Virgin Mary herself from the wool
of a lamb and woven into a gray coat
by st. Helena on the Mount of Olives
1t came into the hands of Jew soon
after the crucifixion, who threw it into
the sea because the blood-stains would
not wash out. A whale swallowed it.
The whale Was caught by a fisherman
and the gray coat found in its belly.
1t was next sold to Orendel, son of
Eygel, Christian king of Treves,
for thirty pieces of silver Orendel de-
posted it in stone coffin. Being dis

this protective stirred surface the na
of the feeding roots ramify in TIED
search for supplies for the plants thg
respectively belong to. They gettha
wholesomest and best food near y
surface, where access of air sweelas
and prepares it, and where raw NAE
rial of the food is in most abaa
dance. But water must be preset
for it is only in solution ]
water, that the roots can imbibe q
convey the food. If the surface Is keF
open and loose, either artifciallY, Sg
implements in our fields, or NATURALLY
as by the annual mulch Of leaves %
sticks in the forests, the water contlt
ually rising through the soil is brougH
to stand just where the feeding rol
want it. 1t is prevented from risIa
