has never been offered from either of our
factories to help them in their work.

She Listens Attentively Hut Her Lips
Are Scaled.
LITcHFIED, Nov 23.-In the trial of Mrs
Jane Mannering before Chief Justice An
drevs in the superior court, for the muir
der of her husband. Edward Mannering,
five witnesses were called yesterday by
the state. Three of them from New Mil
ford testified that Mrs Mannering pur-
chased quantity of strychnine in that
place some time before the murder. She
said at that time she wanted it to kill rats
with. Two more witnesses from Washing
ton testified regarding Mannerings death,
and what occurred at the house immedi-
ately before and after the day on which he
took the dose of saltPetre. The court
room was crowded yesterday as the day
before. there being an unusual interest in
the case.
Mrs Mannering will have nothing 10 say
about the case and during the trial sits
with her daughter and is soon deeply in
tereSted in all that is passing. The trial is
likely to continue for some days and will
probably until next week. Just what the
line of defense will be is not yet known,
but it is believed that the attorneys for the
defense will attempt to prove that Man.
nerinS's death was due to a mistake on his
part and that his wife had no hand in it.

BoSTQN, Nov 3S-There is likely to be
long litigation over the will of the late Mil
lionaire John Brown. He died on Aug.
l6, and his will leaves all his property to
his son and grandson, totally ignoring his
wife. She was his third wife and a widow.
Her home was in Saratoga Springs, where
Brown married her two years ago, when he
was 50 years old. Browns relatives pro-
tested strongly against the marriage and
afterwarl succeeded in parting the couple,
though they frequently met up to the time
of his death

How the word Bumper Came Into Us.

How the Word Bumper Came Into Use.
A bumper means a full glass. This
term is used when the surface of the
wine bumps up in the middle, so that the
center is higher than the brim. When
the wine is concave, it is called brim-
mer. The word is supposed TO be a cor
ruption of au bon pere, meaning the pope,
and refers to the bumpers taken by the
monks to that toast. This is incorrect,
as the toast would be au saint pere and
not "bon." Pere is applied to any friar
in priests orders and bon pere to the
head of the monastery.

Large Haul Landed from 8. s. Aus
tral1a Found at Kalihi-kai.

bIdlld COuuu aU bHInl-hHl,
Captain Schlemmer while making
his usual rounds was accosted by a
Portuguese named Antoine Bright,
formerly police officer, at 6 o'clock
yesterday evening, on King street.
Bright told the officer that Kealoha
and himself had located two boxes,
partly broken, full of opium at
Kalihi-kai. Schlemmer brought the
Portuguese to the Station, where
they equipped themselves for the
expedition. On arriving at the place
designated the Captain saw that the
information was correct. He found
the boxes and a boat in the water
near by. The boxes were not search
ed then, but were put in the boat
and conveyed to the landing, where
the boat was turned over to the
boat boys, The boxes were carried
to the Station, where they were
opened and found to contain 234
tins of opium. On the outside of
the boxes we're the words, "keep
cool"
Bright and his companion had

suspecting smuggling scheme, had
gone down to the place and found
the boxes. No doubt the smugglers
had seen their scheme was discovered
and talked fight.
Early this morning Alex. Smith
identified the boat as his property
and stated that he had leased it to a
Portuguese bumboat man named
Antonio Martins. The services OF
the Portuguese officer, j. Nj. Fer
reira, were called in and Martins was
found. Martins gave the name OF
his companion as Joaquin da Silva,
and the latter was Immediately sum
moned. Both men after being CUES
toned turned states evidence, stat
ing that the 234 tins of opium were
landed from the S. S. Australia, at
IL o'clock on Thursday night.
Antoine Bright was seen by a Bull
LETIN reporter this morning. He
stated that after he had picked w
the opium and taken it to his house
which was near, he noticed that the
men had returned and were in the
act of carrying off another box from
the boat. He was at quite a dis
lance and it was very dark, so he
gave up all thoughts of chase
The men who were carrying the
boxes were heading for pineapple
