Mr.. Sutter stood up and said: "It Us. )"
Each member of the jury was called on
ia turn and each answered in the affirma.
tive. Then the prisoner was removed
and the Judge announced to the

from duty and the proceedings were at
an end. Before the adjournment OF
court Mr.. Wade made the usual appli-
cation for a new trial, and the Judge
announced that be wOuld hear motion

THE MOTHER OF THE PRISONER
did not trust herself to remain 10 court
20 hear the result of the trial, but lin
gered around the corridors, waiting for
the first news 90 come from
the court room. When il came
an instant after the verdict was

attracting attention.
Mr.. Trude aud bis associate, Mr..
LOdd, were heartily congratulated by
isil who could get near them. Preston
Harrison, being one of the first 70 reach

his efforts.

gathered around the spot, from which
a view OF the interior Of his cell could

To speaking OF the jury after the YER
dict had been found,
JUDGE ERENTANO SAID:
1T was the most intelligent jury that
I ever saw. There was not what you
might term a cheap man In the lot.
Every one of them was a good repre-

positions that they hold in the business

From a court official it was learned
that the jury was unanimously in favor

WASHINGTON, ID. c., December %
President Cleveland and his party re-

1t was exactly 1920 o'clock as the light

Issues an address tO the Knights of
Labor
PHILADELPHIA, PA, December 90
General Master Workman Sovereign,
of the X. OF L.. before he left here for
his home in Dss Moines, issued an ad-
dress TO Knights throughout the coun-
try, appealing to them to protest
against the proposed bond issue, The
language used in the address leaves no
doubt as 70 the Master WorEman's
opinion in this matter. He says: The
sixteenth plank in the preamble OF the
X. Of t. reads as follows:
That interest bearing bonds, bills OF
credit, or notes, shall naver be issued
by the government; but that when need
arises, the emergency shall be met by
issue of legal Observation-Disclosures bear
ing money.
wish every local assembly Of our or
der in the United States would read the
plank above quoted and discuss it at
their first regular meeting in January.
The reason for asking new agitation on
this subject at this time is obvious.
The Secretary of the Treasury, Mr..
Carlisle. has asked Congress 10 grant
him authority to issue two hundred
million dollars in interest bearing bonds.
II an also in receipt Of letters from
cotton regions OF the South and from
agricultural districts 10 the West, de-
ciaring that the issuing Of interest
bearing bonds by the national govern
ment will be considered sufficient provo
cation to justify a call to arms. God
forbid that we should ever again fee!
justified in using bullets in a country
where ballots are so free.
suggest that upon the first attempt
OF Congress TO grant the authority asked
BY the Secretary, the members of our
order from Maine to California, hold
irdignatiOn meetings and send an un-
e0ulvocal protest TO their respective
members OF Congress.
The issuing of bonds is an outrage
upon liberty-loving people and should
brand with eternal infamy every name
connected with the disreputa6le trans
action.

OF the County Court, for his
action in the matter, charging that
Christie and all the other judicial Off

with the Duval Athletic Club, and are
abetting the clubs efforts to pull of

less the Supreme Court decides that

Il is considered significant that Gov

that of the Supreme Court will deter
him from his efforts TO stop the fight.

that this declaration means that the

the Supreme Cocrt will be against the

Immense Crystals.

If somebody should find a diamond as
big as a foot ball, bis discovery would
hardly be more unexpected than one
which has recently been made in Utah
relating to kind of crystals, however,
far less precious than diamonds The
discovery referred to is that of a deposit
of selenium found near the Fremont
River in mound-like elevation formed
by the washing and wearing away of the
clay and sand surrounding it.
Selenide CRY stals are formed from the
rare element selenium. which is related
to sulphur, and was discovered in 1917
in the refuse of q sulphuric acid factory
by the celebrated chemist, Berzelius.
In its vitreous form selenium is some.
times employed for optical purposes
Many years ago little medallion portrait.
of Berzelius were occasionally to be seen,
cast in this substance which he had dis.
covered.
Selenium has been found in small
quantities in native deposits, notably al
Culebras, in Mexico But hitherto tho
selenide crystals obtainable have been
small. being measured by inches and
weighed by ounces" Now, however
they have been obtained in the Utah de
post weighing as much as a thousand
pounds
Many tons of these crystals have beer
taken from the mound. Some of then
are four and even five feet in length
with faces six inches broad. One huge
crystal had nineteen small ones project
ing out of it. AS far as known THU
unique deposit has no rival in the world

An operation has Just been performed

her of this hideous deformity. 1t took
place at Roosevelt Hospital and was per
formed by Dr. Frank Hartley, and
George Howe Winkler, professor of
operative dentistry at the New York

An incsiou was made in the neck, the
hone sawed squarely in two. and the
chin forced around to the front and held
there permanently. On the lower Jaw

GOLD BULLION.
The Interesting Process by Which 1t
is Refined and Made Into Coin.

Though the show of gold at the Treas
ury in Washington in not impressive at
the first glance, one has more respect for
it when the contents of the bags are
enumerated Stacked in heaps around
the compartment referred to are ninety
eight sacks, each containing l, 900 yellow
double eagles. Poured out on the
floor they would make very decent
pile of giittering metal representing
altogether 81, $780, 900. Besides these
there are 469 bags each holding $500
shining eagles, or 81, 345, 600 In all.
Then there are 1913 sacks, each containing
1000 ive-dollar pieces, of a total of
S., 800, 600. Lastly, there are fifteen
sacks, each filled to bursting with 1000
of those annoying two-dollar -and-a' half
pieces, which are so easily mistaken for
coined by the minis.
One of the most interesting sights in
the world is the refining of the raw gold
bullion at the United States Assay Office
on Wall street. Arriving there from the
mines it is first melted, to free it from
all earthly matter and other foreign sub
stances. Then certain quantity of
silver is added to it, ..nd the mixture is
immersed in bath of nitric acid. The
acid has no effect on the gold, but it
dissolves the silver into iquid which
looks just like pure water. This limpid
liquid is drawn off, leaving the gold at
the bottom of the tub. The precious
metal thus purified looks like so much fine
red gravel TO get rid of all moisture it
is subjected to pressure. On coming out
of the squeezing machine it appears in
the shape of big cakes, resembling angel
food cakes in form. These cakes are
worth about $25, 900 each, and one could
afford to pay s., 900 for slice of very
moderate size.
This is the material out of which the
gold coins are made. The gold is melted
in crucible, from which it is dipped
out with a ladle and poured into iron
molds. When cooled the molds
are unlocked and taken apart, the
precious metal then appearing in the
shape of what are termed ''ingots." For
the coinage one,tenth part of copper is
mixed with the gold, but the Govern
ment also makes business of manufac-
turing merchants bars" for the use of
jewelers.. gold leaf makers aud dentists,
who require the virgin metal in their
trades. Such bars are as near to perfect
purity as can be, being 500 fine out of a
possible 1000. The Government, while
it makes big profit by coming silver,
gains nothing by minting gold pieces,
the intrinsic value of which is equal to
their face. There is always some loss
by wasting, too The sweepings of the
Philadelphia Mint alone sell for S23, coo
annually i New York Commercial Adj
vertser.
