WANTS NO DISAPPOINTMENT.
DIR. GRAVES WILL INSIST ON
TRIALIN MAY.
He Says Amy Further Delay viii ID,
Gross Injustice.

The statement that DIR. Graves second trial
for the alleged killing of Mrs. Barnaby will
20 over from the date set last month until
the fall has not been received with any great
feeling of happiness by the doctors friends.
The doctor Is still In Jail awaiting a final
disposition OF his case, aud neither he nor
his lawyers will agree to poslponement Of
the trial.
Judge Wells of the firm of Wells, Macon
& FRrman, which defended DR.. Graves, said
that he would insist on the trial being begun
on May -, the day set; aud he added If the
trial went over it would be through no fault
of the doctors attorneys. This Is all he cared
to say about the matter.
Dist.-Atty. Steele SAYS ii Will be impossi
bic TO try the case in May, because the wit
neSses for the prosecution who live in the
East cannot be induced 10 come 10 Colorado
until the fall
When the case is cll Ell for trial next
month there will be long legal battle on a
motion to postpone, and ii remains to be
seen whether the motion will be granted or
not.
The fact that the contest over Mrs. Barna-
by's will has been settled will have an inn
portant bearing on the doctors trial. The
latter Is given So, 900, and some of the
principal legatees who were also witnesses
against him may not care to bother further
about the case, now that they are 10 get
money bequeathed 10 them.
John Conrad, Mrs. Barnabys sCn-in-law,
is in Europe. Without him cool deal Of
important evidence Will lose il, effect.
On the other hand the prosecution, 1t is
claimed, has discovered new evidence
against Dr. Graves. Again II is reported
that the county will not stand the expense
of new trial. This. however, is denied by
interested parties, and 50 the matter stands.
DR.. Gra"es was seen at the jail, and ques-
toned AS to the news from Providence that
the Barnaby will contest had been abau-
doned. He professcd ignorance Of the
matter.
AS to his trial the doctor said: Il shall
insist on a trial on the day liked. | sub
mitted to confinement and waived appltca-
ton for bail in order 20 expedite an early
trial. | am ready for trial now, and shall
consider it gross piece Of injustice il any

RIOTS IN LONDON.
ROWDIES AND TEETOTALLERS
MEET IN TRAFALGAR SQUARE.
A Procession Broken Up by Temper
anCe Advocates.

An attempt on the part Of publcans and
Others to make an imposing public demon
StratiOn in London against the proposed bill
establishing local option and abrIdging the
privileges Of the liquor trade resulted in
scene OF riot and disorder
The plan of tn III nagcrs Of the demon

the various districts, all Of them converg-
in into Grafa ger square. where the meet
lug Of protest was 10 be held.
Late in the afternoon the professions be
gan TO reach the square. the first being
headed by band and two large banners,
with the words NO Coercion"
Some members Of the total abstinence So
cietle- had gathered to meet the paraders,
and these were supp emcnted by numer-
Gus crowd Of rowdy element, who were
bent on mischief without much regard to
principle.
Fighting soon began between the rowdies
and teetotallcrs on The one hand and the
paraicr- on the other In the struggle ban
nets were torn to pieces and the professions
broken up.
1t appeared later that the riot was the re-
SUIT OF plans deliberately prepared by the
Temperance supporters OF the bill. The
Temperance party, to the number OF thou
sands, occupied the square under secret
orders long before the arrival OF the liquor
party or the "anti-vetoiSts."
Such banners rs had been saved by the
paradcrs were carefully furlcd to save them
from destruction, and then, in order that =
vote might be taken on the resolutions
against the bill legends in bold letters were
hoised first for and then against the resolu-
ton.
Both the affirmative and negative received
rin-ing shouts from the opposing parties.
The temperance party next secured Dos
session Of the Plinth Of Nelson column, and
proceeded to hold forth. The liquor party,
cnraged by previous attacks, now became
aggressive, and the first temperance speaker
WIS Knocked off, and somewhat bruised in
the descent.
The temperance people, however, rallied
and renewed the attack, carrying all before
them and obtaining fu. control. Henceforth
they had everything their own way and

THE 6eARy LAW MODIFIED.
Cinnamon Can Register Without Hav-
ing to BE Photographed.

In accordance with directions from Sec
rotary Carlisle, the regulations OF the
treasury department in relation to the regis
tration of Chinese laborers have been modi-
fled so as to dispense with the attaching of
photographs to applications of Chinese for
certificates of residence under the act of May
5, 1892, and requiring only the affidavit Of
one credible witness to the fact of the resi-
dence and lawful status of the app licant
within the United States.
The Chinese objected to this photograph
ing business, ami now it seems to me-, they
ought to register. To be photographed, as
required by the Gcary law, they regarded
moi only as a useless expense, but humilla-
ton, since 1t was required of no other aliens
They pointed out that their personal marks
could be registered, and would serve fully
as well for Identification.

Scientific Discoveries that Tighten Labor
( "A Weavey's Experience In Dyefne-
Carpefs where the Color Stays as
Bright as When New.
Those economical women who have
learned how easy it is to save money by
home-dyeing, have often complained be-
cause there were not fast and non-fading
dyes for cotton goods.
Within the last few years science has
been at work, and the results are the
fast diamond dyes for cotton, Turkey
red, pink, purple, orange, olive green,
brown, etc. These dyes make colors so
fast that even washing in strong soap
suds will not start them. If a woman is
sure to get the fast diamond dyes for
cotton when she wants to dye cotton,
she will be able to dye absolutely fast,
non-fading colors that will stay until the
goods are worn out.
A practical dyer, writing in the
Weaver's Herald, says, II used TO uye
with roots and barks, but after all my
work, land it was tedious job) | was
not satisfied, for the colors were homely
and often faded. At last ! commenced
to use diamond dyes, and the process is
so simple and easy that the work is a
pleasure. have used carpets made Of
rags dyed with diamond dyes three
years, and the colors are still as bright
as when new"
Many of the diamond dye fast cotton
colors are so superior to other dyestuffs
that they are used by dyers everywhere,
even in the big mills and the large dye
houses. lmitators of these reliable dyes
have claimed that their cotton dyes
are Gust as good" but practical tests
prove the diamond is the only kind that
makes colors which soap will not wash
out or sunlight fade.
The diamond dyes come in nearly fifty
different colors, for silk, wool, and
cotton, and will dye anything, from
pair of stockings to dress or cloak.
