BRIDES LIKE THE GREAT FAIR.
Newly Welded Couples Find the Expo-
sitlo., an Attractive show.

X is easy TO pick out the bridal
couples at the Fair. Those who have
made study OF the crowds swarmins
through Chicago daily say that there
are three lndispufable ways of distin-
gushing The honeymoon couples from
all others And these are the three
ways: First. they are the only people
that never seem weary of sightseeing
They have happy, peaceful express
sion of countenauce, just as ii they
tLo@-h, hat the whole display had
been made expressly for them and
would last forever. just this way
Secondly, the bridal couples arc the
only ones who do not seem TO notice tho
exorbitant prices which are being
charged for things The happy groom
has mate up his mind that he is going
to spend his money and he spends ID
like little man without stopping 10

cuff buttons for her mother, Siamess

children at home. and necklaces with
reckless abandon and display of
greenbacbs, seen only in the case OF
one-month-old bridegrooms
Thirdly, and this test is the most
complete of all, the bridal couples havo
way of picking out the pretty and

especially so, w hen one considers that
they have come to Chicago as strangers,
and had no more previous knowledge
of the secluded and picturesque hooks
than any of the others who have como

them to these pleasure places in tho

but being pressed admitted that he did
not often count the silver that was in
every day use. Then. finally. as if
divining at length his real position, he
broke down, calling on God to strike
him dead if he knew anything about
his old masters murder. and was
led aside after saying it was ludg-
ment on him for leaving the silv er
uncounted"
The strongest evide nee against the
accused was found when q search was
made in his room II looked as ii old
Thorn pson must have been almost mad
to have left SO many mute witnesses
against himself In 2 tall vase on the
mantelpiece was found q cheap file,
which when examined by an EXPERT
proved TO have small particles of silver
still dhering 20 it On a ledge in the
chimney was Mr.. Weathercraft's purse,
containing .S45 in notes and some
change. Finally, at the side of the cpT-
erlet, ia ther more than half way down
towards the foot OF the bed, were dis
covered three distinct stains, which ex-
pert evidence asserted to be blood stains,
and seemed to have been left by a hu-
man right hand.

Mr.. Weathercratt's viii seemed TO offer

the two men servants, the last clause

and that he had perpetrated this awful
crime in order to benefit by it the
sooner.
1t is not surprising, in the face of all
the evidence, that James Thompson
was fully committed to take his trial for
the wilful murder of his deceased mas
ter, or that. public opinion almost
unanimously condemned him in adj
vance.
During the four months that elapsed
between the arrest and the trial james
Thompson sat despairing III his cell
He spoke little, answering his lawyer
alphabetically, throwing no new light
on the case but continuing to deny
everything. He seemed like one in
hopeless maze who can't exactly under
stand how he got there and has given
up all hopes of ever getting out.
AS we have said before, the public
was tolerably unanimous in believing
him guilty, though strange to say there
was one notable exception. His lawyer,
sharp criminal practitioner, who had
taken up the case with his eye fixed on
the $40, 900, almost believed him inno-
cent, we say almost, for Mr.. SHARPLY
made point of never allowing himself
to quite believe any thing or any body.
Mr.. SHARPLY as rule almost believed
his client guilty; in the present in
stance he almost believed him inno-
cent, and that was all.
Indeed, there was something pathetic
in the puzzled expression which never
left the old mans face, and his occa-
sional remark with a melancholy shake
of the head, 1T was all along of me
leaving my siller oncounted." Mr.
SHARPLY, who was practical even in his
softer moods, once expressed an opin
ion to his partner in the privacy of
their inner Office that 'if the old fellow
would only get off that tommy rot
a bout the siller to the jury they would
bring him IN insane without leaving
the box"

the more genuine fun he gets out of
life. After you read the plans of-their
outings this summer, OF some men
we all know, L think you Will agree
with me.
Chauncey NJ. Depew has just com
pleted his arrangements for two
months vacation of rest and recreation.
And here is how he is going to enjoy
himself. He has just purchased a very
handsome summer residence in Ards
ley park at -the-Hudson.
The mansion cost IN the neighbOrhoOd
of $50 C0, about one-half of DR.. De-
pews annual income. DR.. Depew is
fitting up the new summer home to
make ii one of the contest of the many
lovely places along the Hudson. This
Ardsley park was laid ont by the late
Cyrus W. Field when he was in the
zenith of his success. Mr.. Field loved
his family dearly and it was his wish
that they should all live at this beauti-
full park. He built houses for his sons
and daughters, and spent nearly three
hundred thousand dollars on the place.
1t was originally one thousand acres
in extent, but soon dwindled through
forced sales when misfortunes came
thick and fast, and at the time of Mr..
Fields death only about one-third Of
the original estate remained.
The mansion just purchased by DR.
Depcw was built by Mr.. Field for one
of his daughters. DIR. Depew leased it
for short time and was so pleased
with the mansion andsurroundings he
decided to purchase. he is going to
layout the grounds according to his
own ideas of landscape gardening and
spend a small fortune in improve

err as young Depew is called at homo,
is goingto have gay times along with
his parent with that new steam
launch, very natty little craft, about
twenty feet long, with a speed of
seventeen miles an hour. Young De-
pew, although only fourteen years old,
understands the machinery of the craft
thoroughly, and can run it without the
services of an engineer if need be.
SO what with fitting up his new
summer home, looking after his flow
ers and enjoying himself with his
brainy young son on the Hudson,
there is no doubt but what DR.. Depew

THE WITNESS WENT TO THE BEDSIDE
But if the lawyer believed or half
believed his client innocent, he found
it difficult to offer even TO himself any
reason for the half faith that was in
! him. and it was with the worst fore
holdings that he saw the day of trial
dawn at last.
The case was called and SHARPLY did
his best, but there was indeed very
little to be done. There is an end to
ali things, even things legal, an end to
challenges, an end to exceptions asked
