IN THE JURYS HANDS
Prendergast Declares He Was
Not Prompted by Malice.
He Frequently Interrupts the Prosscu-
tion at the Close Of the Trial.

CHICAGO, Dec. 29.-"I was not animated
by malice; l swear before high heaven
that was not; you are my murderer II
die"
This was the language with which Prem
dergast interrupted Mr.. Trude yesterday
afternoon. For four hours Mr.. Trude had
been speaking. Growing more and more
earnest and personal be assailed the pris-
oner with all the invective at his COM
mand. AS the assassin spoke, Mr.. Trude
turned the remark TO account by asking
the jury: SIS be insane nowi Does he
act like an insane man"
The lawyer also alluded to the day OF
the funeral, and the fear that the pris-
oner showed when the procession passed
the Jail, and the prisoners shouted, Hang
Prendergast." Mr. Trude said that even
these men, accused of crime, resented the
act of Prendergast, and the prisoner broke
in with "Yes; they were friends OF Har-
rison, whom he had pardoned out Of the
Bridewell"
Mr.. Trude alluded to the prisoner as a
coward, and once more the assassin sprang
to his feet and shouted: "You are the
coward; you deserve to be hung"
Later, when a sarcastic allusion was
made to Prendergast's ambition to be
corporation counsel and the remark was
made that he was unfit for the position,
tke. prisoner lost his temper again and
shouted: 81 am fit. l am fit for any Job
you are, Trude." The court told him to
keep quiet, and he rubsided.
Mr., ,Trude finished his argument this
morning and the case went to the jury at

FIGURES FROM THE REPORT.
They Are Alarmingly Interesting to
the Taxpaying Voters.

The annual report of the City Treas
urer which has just been completed is
quite an interesting document. 1t is not
pleasant reading for the average tax
payer, however, and many OF them Will
rejoice no doubt that many OF the "in-
competents" are retired from the City
Council.
Such an era OF extravagsnt appro pria-
tions never struck the city before as this
year.
The increase In the floating debt during
the past year is $3.50, ,4s4.64. Against this
there was t55, 900 placed in the sinking fund
"a mere bagatelle-and there is S6,4Si.99
In the treasury, which Is si,696.37 more
than last year, which reduces the net
amount of increase to $3.50, ,7SS.27.
These figures are alarming and conclu-
sively show that the people moved none
too soon in ridding themselves of those
people In the city government who made
such reckless appropriations, regardless
OF protest, and without explanation.

The King and the seidIitz Powder.

On the first consignment of seidlitz
powders to the capital Of Delhi the
monarch was deeply interested in the ac-
counts Of the refreshing box. A box
was brought TO the king in full court,
and the interpreter explained to his maj
esty how it should be used. Into COB
let he put the twelve blue papers, and
having added water, the king drank it
off. This was the alkali, and the royal
countenance expressed no sign of salts
faction. II was then explained that in
the combination Of the two powders lay
the luxury, and the twelve white pow
ders were quickly dissolved In water,
and as eagerly swallowed by his ma
jesty.
With a shrek that will be remem-
bered while Delhi is numbered with the
kingdoms the monarch rose, stared, ex-
ploded and in his full agonies screamed
Hold me down" then rushing from the
throne fell PROSTATE ON the floor. There
he lay during the long continued effer-
vescence Of the compound, squirting like
II, 900 pennyworths Of imperial pop, and
believing himself in the agonies Of death,
melancholy and humiliating proof that
kings are mortal.-Indian Mirror.

The Dewey system Of cataloguing
library was devised by Mr.. Melvil Dew
ey, at present director Of the state Ii
brary. In it all books are classified into
certain number of principal subjects,
which, in alphabetical order, receive
numbers; for instance, astronomy may
be /. Then the subjects are divided,
and each division receives decimal;
for example, history may be 1; thus
the history Of astronomy is numbered
IL. The divisions are further subdi-
vided, and each subdivision receives a
number expressing hundredtks. Books
On the history of astronomy in America
might be LIP.
After these come, when necessary,
further subdivisions still, and then, in
practice, come the shelf marks, which
show where the book is TO DO found.
The system, theoretically, is perfect;
practically it is cumbrous, and, except
TO the cataloguer, unsatisfactory. Adapt
ed in various ways, it is used in many
libraries, however. York Sun.
