the Government

Cling case of Samuel J. Watson was con-
cluded yesterday, and the jury returned a
verdict Of guilty. The case has been on
tial for the past week, before Judge Webb,

terest. Watson was arrested about three

Warner Miller Genes 10 the Defense Of IN

NEW YORK, May 19-President Warner

pany, In referring to Mr.. Guzman's state
ments at Washington that the revolu-
| tionists were aided by New York and OUT
side capitalists of the United States who
had large interests In Nicaragua, said. II
do not know To whom Mr.. Guzman refers
In his intimations 1t cannot be to the
canal company, for the reason that no
such state OF affairs exists between the
Nicaragua Canal company and the gov
trnment
THE facts are the canal company has
had nothing TO do with the political situ-
alton, and has furnished neither arms, am
munition or means, directly or indirectly,
to the revolutionista Not the slightest
particle OF truthful evidence could be
shown that the company had In any way
interfered with the affairs in that country.

property Of the company, which will, be-
lieve, be conserved under all conditions
''Ths treaty Of 1897 between the United
States and Nicaragua give to this govern

Of the canal. They can, when IL is deemed
necessary, land troops for the purpose of
protecting the property and take posses.
sion. The Canal company Is giving itself
no concern, as the United States govern
ment has already sent its men n-of-war to
guard this company.
1T Is true that the revolutionists have
seized the steamers belonging to the canal
company on Lake Nicaragua. but up TO
this time they have not disturbed those on
the San Juan river. This was to be ex-
pected, as the control Of Lake Nicaragua
Is essential to their purposes"

The Wandering Jew.

Calmet's History of the Bible" has
this to say of the Wandering Jew: He
was the porter of Pontius PLATE, and
was called Calaphilus, When the mob
was dragging Jesus to the judgment
hall Calaphilus struck him, saying: go
faster, Jesusl Go faster Why dost
thou lingerl' Jesus replied, 81 am in
deed goingi but thou shalt tarry till l
come Soon this man was converted
and took the name of Joseph. He is
supposed to live forever, but every 100
years he falls into trance, upon awak-
ening from which he finds himself at the
same age as when the Saviour said these
words to him. The Wandering Jew is
grave and stern, Is never seen to smile,
and perfectly remembers the death and
resurrection Of Christ. No place is his
home for more than a few hours, and
thus does he fulfill his title Of Wander
ing Jew."-Detroit Free Press,

There Is no portrait Of Christ which

litenesses. and so art, 40 we understand

traits which have the merit Of extreme

hands Of the Turks before that city was

given by the sultan to Pope Innocent
VIII as q ransom for the srltan's bro
ther.
The other portrait is on fine brass
medal discovered in Anglesea, Wales, in
the year 1909. The workmanship is that
of the First century, and Hebrew in
scription on the reverse declares the por-
trait to be that OF the prophet Jesus.
The two portraits bear close resem-
blance, but it is altogether probable that
both are ideal, and that each followed
the description of Christ given in the
well known but not well authenticated
letter Of Publius Leutulus. The napkin

Cases of forgetfulness on matters Of
interest are on record. While DR.. Priest
ley was preparing his work entitled "Har-
mony of the Gospels, he had taken great
pains to inform himself on subject
which had been under discussion rela-
tive to the Jewish Passover. He wrote
out the result of his researches and laid
the paper away His attention and time
being taken with something else, some
little time elapsed before the subject oc-
Cured to his mind again. Then the same
time and pains were given to the subject
that had been given to it before, and
the results were again put on paper
and laid aside. So completely had he
forgotten that he had copied the same
paragraphs and reflections before, that
it was only when he had found the papers
on which he had transcribed them that
it was recalled to his recollection, This
same author had frequently read his own
published writings and did not recognize
them. Boston Herald.

The Uvalde Reflector says that party
out hunting in that county had along a
liver colored setter dog, which found a
snake of the rattler species, and that the
snake swallowed the dog, The hunters
killed the snake with Gatlng gun, cut
him open with butchers cleaver, and
that the dog jumped out all right, except
losing his bark; that the snake was two
feet thick and thirty-six feet long, and
had ninety-two rattles and a button, and
the editor says it sounds little improb-
able, and it may be, But out on the

For every hundred persons living west
of the Mississippi river who have seen
St. Peters at Rome hardly ten, ! think
it may be safely said, have visited the
Yosemite. Two small hotels in the val
ley are ample for all who may at any
ono time seek accommodations, and on
an average two coaches day during the
season will carry all who seek convey
ance to that place Of grandeur, One
thing is certain, the foreigner doing"
the United States seldom omits the
Yosemite; yet many an American tourist
travelling in California leaves the coast
in ignorance Of the wonders and beauties
of the famous region. On a beautiful
Sunday in May, out Of sixty-fve guests
at the Stoneman house over forty-fve
were foreigners, most of them on trip
around the world; and that proportion is
not unusual during the season, To the
foreign tourist the Yosemite ranks with
Niagara, and from those who have seen
the wonders of nature on every continent
the verdict seems to be that the Yosemite
stands pre-eminent-the greatest of all.

Rheumatism is caused by the deer or

suggested in the latter case by the man
ner in which the measuring worm arches
his body in walking, which is supposed
to be like the contortions of rheumatic

eat a squirrel or touch a cat, since the
manner in which these creatures arch

LADY or THE cLIokgR.
Daily Round and IIedged Up Dignity Of
the Woman Who Teiegraphs.

tho Woman Who Teiegraphs.
It occurred to citizen the other day
on approaching the fair telegrapher in
an uptown hotel that woman in such a
place must often have her temper and
her fortitude taxed by thoughtless mem
bers Of the opposite sex.
The young woman in question was
possessed of a personal makeup that
would attract attention in a crowd, yet
through all the rush Of business and hur-
ry Of work ssle never once seemed con-
scious Of herself Men came and went,
their messages were received, the words
picked off by the lead pencil measurer,
the charges announced, and her seat re-
sumed without, as Francis Wilson has
1t, her moving muscle or wincing a
VINCE"
To the inquirer after facts she turned,
and for the first time raised her eyelids,
that disclosed q pair of sharp, honest,
blue gray eyes, full of business, yet sug-
gestive Of a happy, laughing tempera-
ment, if you only knew her outside her
"cage."
"Oh, no." she said, "we are too busy
for idlers, and always Of necessity too
deeply interested in our work to allow
us to pass the conversation lozenge.'
"There are those who fancy we are
here only to look pretty and impress the
gentleman guest with the idea that he
has delayed for whole week to send a
telegram of utmost Importance.
"This is not the case, however, and
the man most likely to forget himself
and bother us is not the fellow who
spends quarter for an unnecessary telA-
gram as an opener to conversation. We
see him, of course, occasionally, but his
business generally amounts to inquiry
as to the location of the perfectly visible
hotel desk or of the nearest postofice or
letter box. We make short work of
him, and in a discreet way can force the
blush on him that sets him on his gen.
tlemanly feet again.
"Others there are, and thank goodness
they form the great majority that rules,
whose business is transacted promptly,
politely and with an evident sense of the
fact that they are dealing with lady.

for there is no superfuous dialogue or
attempt at jesting, or suggestion of any,
thing but the perfect gentleman.

on the plan Of the quiet answer that

and equity, and to find fault with us for
that his 'd'arter hasn't tellygraffed him
since his arrival. On suggestion to
such a one that perhaps his worthy girl
at home has not been informed of his
stopping place in tine metropolis, he is
frequently awakened to his own sense of
carelessness, and then rises the smile
that shows the good heart underneath,
and all is serene again.

must work well, for oftentimes much
