10. | A WAIT.n.

A woman's figure on a ground Of night
Tnlaid with sallow stars that dimly stare
Down in the lonesome eyes uplifted there
AS in vague hope some alien lance of light
Might pierce their woe. The tears that blind
her sight
The salt and bitter blood of her despair
Her hands toss back through torrents of her
hair
And grip toward God with ar .,uish infinite.
And, oh, the carven mouth, with all its great
Intensity Of longing frozen fast
In such a smile as well may designate
The slowly murdered heart that to the last
Conceals each newer wound, and bac at fate
Throbs loves eternal Hello, I can waltz

A BLACKSMITH SAVES THE LIFE Oh
January l, 1898.

"A BLACKSMITH SAVES THE LIFE OF
A LITTLE GIRL.-Minnie Carney, Of
Lytle City, Iowa, was perhaps as near
leaving this world as any n can be,
and recover. She was sick with cholera
morbus; completely exhausted and un-
conscious. The physicians in c%onsulta-
ton decided the case was hopeless and
beyond their control. -Chas. j. New
comb, a blacksmith, walked four miles
through the darkness and storm, to get
a remedy he had himself used and
which he firmly believed would cure
her. That medicine was Chamberlaln's
Collie, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy.
He obtained part of a bottle with which
he hastily returned and gave the little
sufferer a half %teaspoonful, which re-
lieved her and consciousness gradually
returned. The medicine was given in
broken doses and in a short time she
was well. He is positive that it saved
her life, and has others in hat vicinity.

The Impurities of Frozen Water.

The popular idea that water is purified
by freezing has been disproved by are
full experiments, which show that the
average amount of impurity retained by
the ice is 1913 per cent of organic matter
and 21.2 per cent of inorganic matter.
As organic matter is the more objection
able of the two, the case is worse than
was formerly supposed.-New York

Travellers Should Always Take Notes.

AraVeleTS SuouIu Always lake NOTES.
First rule for all travellers: Set down
everything you see in a notebook; never
travel without a notebook. Make notes
of all you observe, if it is only a bank of
primroses. Note the people in the car
riage; what they are like; what they talk
about; how the women are dressed; what
books they are reading; if they look hap
Ply or not. 1t is interesting when the
country is dull to watch the faces of
your fellow travellers and to construct
in general terms their future, their pres
emit and their past. And in a few years l
know not whether it is more sad or more
delightful to open these old notebooks
and to remember when they were filled.

HOwell's Daughter.

The jury in the Howell case were ex-
cused at the opening OF the District Court
yesterday until o'clock in the afternoon,
on the motion of District Attorney Gar
ter, who wanted to intro luce evidence to
prove that Howell had circulated coun ter
felt greenbacks. The point was argued at
great length. Attorney Campbell contend
ing that the Indictment referred solely to
the possession of spurious coin and bills
were not such. Consequently no evidence
on this point was admissible.
Judge Morrow sustained the objection.
The court met again at 2 o'clock, Howell
biandly smiling as he caressed his little
son or spoke in whispers to his wife or TO
his adopted daughter, who were sitting
with him in the dock.
Attorney Campbell opened the case for
the defense and. reviewed at some length
the life OF Howell since he was a boy. He
claimed that there was nOapparent motive

Jurors Disagree as to How They
Arrived at Their Verdict.
Five affidavits were filed yesterday in
the case of Kate E. Dixon versus j. F. II.
Pums. which came up before Judge
CARRIER.
Some time ago Mrs. Kate E. Dixon
brought suit against Plums for damages
for per.onal injuries. She had been struck
by chisel, carelessly let fall by Plums,
and obtained verdict in the Superior
Court for Sis IS. This was in May. $780,
Soon after the decision Of the case it was
whispered that the verdict was one of
chance, being arrived at by the jurors aver
aging their estimates OF the damages. One
OF the jurors. j. l.. Roster, filed an affi-
davit to this effect. and on this evidence
Plums appealed. The Supreme Court up
held the appeal, reversed the judgment of
the court below and ordered a new trial.
When the case came up yesterday five
affidavits were produced and placed on file
They were sworn to by Jurors A. j. Kolbv.
j. Rosenherg, w. +. Hoge, Charles Tongrs
and W. w. BergiD. each of whom decla red
that the verdict and amount of damages
to be awarded were arrived at by no
chance or system OF averaging, but were
decided by common consent.
OF The remaining jurors one is dead an
other is in New York City. and three claim
that the whole circumstance has escaped
their memory. The conflicting testimony
must naturally bring about Implications,

O'Clock he came again and asked the same
question. Howell said. rs that what you
are looking tOr?' poin'in to his desk
Jones said Yes and took itaway, Howell
not knowing what the parcel contained.
Shortly thereafter, en- the same day, Jones
returned and asked Howell how much he
owed him, or something to that effect, at
the same time handing him the amount,
which Howell put in his pocket, in which
way the marked money came into the pos
session OF Howell. He also asked Howell
to take charge of a package or money,
which he laid on Howelrs desk, and,
Jones not returning for ii. Howell in clos
ing up his office threw it into his safe,
where it lay in a compartment for the
books, where Sheriff Gu. ningham, WHO az
rested Howell. saw it when the office and
safe were searched, Howell at the time ad-
hitting that there was money in the safe,
after being cautioned by the Sheriff not to
admit anything.
"This package was the same which was
marked and sent by Wells. Fargo & Co..

George NJ. Bowers was then called and
stated that h- came from Arizona, and he
generally spent one month each year in
Stockton in connection with mining and
general merchandise interests; that lie

seen him since.
