Written work is beneficial in
school, and how can we get it better
than in examination? The advan-
tages in this kind of an exercise are
many. The pupil should be made
to express himself in as good lam
guage as he can command, the
thought should be expressed in AZ
few words as possible, and should
show deliberation. Then the teacher
should mark ON mechanical appear

Sensations in Court.

When the trial of Arthur Stocker for
the murder of his wife, Kate, was re-
sumed this morning before Judge Werts,
the court room and gallery were as
crowded as they were yesterday.
The room was not so hot today and in
consequence all the parties directly in
Jerested in the case appeared to
better advantage. The good look
ing Mamie did not manipulate
her fan so vigorously as she listened to
evidence that by no means elevated her In
the opinion of decent people. Some pas
sages between the lawyers and witnesses
indeed made her look fusted and hot,
but her generous fan was called into play
and the blush of shame hidden from
view.
The court was anxious to hurry the case
to close as rapidly as possible. and the
proceedings for the defense began at half
past nine O'Clock. Ex-Judge Hoffman
was not in court then, but his associate,
Alderman Salin2er, was. and he had been
assigned to the duty of outlining the de-
fense.
To present the facts as elected In or
derly sequence, the sensational testimony
taken yesterday afternoon is first given

lor set today to hear argument on the
rule to show cause why the injunction
asked for against the New Jersey Central
Railroad by the Attorney General to pre-
vent the operation Of the coal combine.

The state was represented by Attorney
General Stockton, Barker Gummere and
Fred. K. Stevens; the Jersey Central by
j. r. Emery, eXChancellor Williamson

he was ready to move, but ex-Chancellor
Williamson asked for delay, saying the
company was not ready. The Attorney
General made long address setting
forth that the combination was daily in
juring the neople and that quick action
was necessary to prevent frequent sur
prises and delays caused by new evil
dence.
The Chancellor ordered that the papers
must be ready by June 49, Counsel must
meet for conference on July l, and argue
on July Z. This will enable the State to

turned. He sat down for five minutes,
and then the quarrel began. 1t was q
quarter before twelve O'clock when
Stocker came in the last time. 1t was en-
minutes asst twelve when he fired the
first shot; am noL positive as TO the

torted Salinger, that l haven't been

witness to leave the stand and look at the
plans of the house on the easel near by.
After some unimportant evidence was

There come moments in mans life when he
sits down and reckons with himself 1t is usually
at night lust before going to bed, when the
house is silent and the outside world very dim
aud unsubstantial. at such moments u man
wants to be alone; wife nor children nor mother
is welcome. The soul is calling out for an un-
broken moments iurospection, wherein to re-
ad just values and start in anew
In such an honr man stands for what he really
is an infiuitesinal insect lost in swarm of
similar flocks of life produced by this decaying
globe of ours In such an hour Napoleon looked
down at himself and saw the he was an under
sized man with an 6bnormally developed head.
In such moments it must be that the billionaire
marvels at the conjunction of forces that has
made for him hundreds of millions, and sees
himself a small man, differing from the type as
one blackbird differs from another, by fraction

THE SHOOTING.
John JefSon of No. 90 Zabriskie street
and his sou described the shoe ting OF
Mrs. Stocker. They both saw Duuue run
toward Summit avenue, and twenty feet
behind him was Mrs. Stocker, who was
closely chased by her husband. Aban-
doning any hope of help from the cow
ardly Dunno. Mrs. Stocker crossed the
street TO the Jefsons. When she was
within five feet of them Stocker shot her.
She exclaimed
"Oh, nv GodI" and fell dying.
Richard White of No. 28 Manhattan
avenue, heard pistol shots and saw
Stocker. He followed Stocker from Sum-
nit avenue, where he had chased Dunno
after shooting his wife Stocker returned
to his wife and lifting her head kissed her
face, saying:-"katie. you'll die easy" !"
White arrested Stocker, who surrendered
his revolver. White said to hint
"Stocker. you were very foolish to do
anything like that"
II was drove to it," replied Stocker,
''and bought the cartridges this morn

Several other witnesses gave corrobo-
ratlve evidence. Captain McNuJty tes-
titled that at the station house he inter-
viewed Stoker as follows:-
''Do you know your wife's dead?"

GOT AHEAD OF THE NOBLEMAN.
Wouldn't Remove His Dog. So They
Switched His Car

Lord Charles Hamilton used TO go about
Naples attended by a large, ferocious bulldog,
says London lid Bits. Having decided upon
going to Rome he proceeded to the station and
took his place in first class carriage, the
'.dawg' taking up position on a seat opposite
his master The platform inspector, with many
gesticulations, declared that the bulldog should
not travel in passenger carriage.
VERY well, then; take him out, was Lord
Charles's rejoinder
In vain the official expostulated. He merely
reiterated his former reply, piece of advice, it
is needless to say, which was not followed, and
Lord Charles, apparently master OF the situa-
ton, threw himself back in his seat and calmly
lighted cigar
But the Italians were not to be outdoue, and
quietly detaching the carriage IN which the
English "milor'' was seated, they made up the
tram with another compartment and started it
OFF
Lord Charles sat quietly smoking for about a
quarter of an hour, and then, surprised at the
delay, thrust his head out of the window and de-
manded when the train was going to start. His
feelings when the situation was described to him
may be imagined.
