HORACE ALL1s SENTENCED.
The Motion For New Trial Heard
by the Court and Denied.

The Motion For New Trial Heard
by the Court and Denied.
In the Federal Court, at Little Rock,
the following motion for new trial,
in the case of II. &. Aris, was pre-
sented:
The defendant, Horace G. Allis.
moves the court 10 set aside the ycr-
dict of the jury and grant him a new
trial in this case, because:
First-Tho verdict is contrary to tbo
law and the evidence.
Seoond-Tho verdict is not support
ed by sufficient evidence.
Third-The jury by which said YER
dict was rendered was not fair aud
impartial jury, one OF the jurors, U.
S. Bratton, who, on his examination
as to his qualifications to serve as a
juror, answered and testified chat he
knew nothing about the case, and that
he had neither formed or expressed an
opinion upon it or about it, had form
ed and expressed such opinion, and
had said that the defendant was
guilty and ought to be convicted and
sent to the penetentiary; and said jur-
or entertained said opinion at the time
and in pursuance thereof intended to
do, and did do, all he could to bring
about the conviction of the defendant
He had 80 expressed himself to T. A.
Gray, G. NJ. Chapman and others,
shortly before the call of the case,
saying that said case would be the
next case called, and that the deterd
ant was guilty and ought to be CON
yicted. All OF which was unknown
to the defendant until the rendition
Of the verdict.
Fourth--One of the jurors, a color
ed man, Jackson Sandrldge, believed
the defendant to be innocent, and so
stated and contended in the jury room
but the other jurors, except G. R.
Anderson, denied him the right to ex-
press his opinion, telling them that he
was not man, had no right to an
opinion or to express himself, that he
could not prove by the Bible that he
was a man, refused him freedom and
action as juror, torrorized and
forced him into agreeing that the false
entry charged was made deluded him
into belief that verdict expressing
guilty on the fourteenth count did not
imply that the entry was made to de-
ceive or defraud any one and that on
ly fine would follow such verdict
and coerced him into consenting to II,
which he did under protest.
The motion, which contained sever
al other grounds for trial anew, was
taken up and, after being thoroughly
discussed by the attorneys on both
sides, was oyerruled by the court.
Allis was then summoned to the bar
and addressed by the court as follows
"Have you anything to say why
sentence should not be passed upon
you"
81 have to say" said the defendant,
''that the jury did not understand the
evidence, and That the telegram non-
toned in the fourteenth count was in
correctly transcribed ] accept your
sentence and will appeal to higher
tribunal for yindication"
Judge Sanborn then sentened The
prisoner to imprisonment in Kings
county, New York, prison, for term
Of five years.
The attorneys for the defense saved
exception and, pending the presenta-
ton OF the bill ior an appeal, bail was
fixed at $4,000

less able hands than Modjeskas Lady
Macbeth would be unsatisfactory, for
the portrayal demands that it be lit
both by histrionic genius and those
baleiul fires, which lead to death and
destruction in the closing scene. Her
supporting company is the strongest
on the road and includes Otis Skinner

PROCEEDINGS OF THE SENATE.
WASHINGTON, ID. c.. April II.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., April II.
The journal Of yesterday having been
read, the Nice-President stated that the
business before the Senate was the rcso-
luton for the admission of the three
Senators appointed by the governors of
Montana, Washington and Wyoming.
Mr.. German thereupon moved 10 pro-
coed to the consideration of executive
business.
Mr.. Call claimed the floor, in pursu-
ance of q notice Of his intention to adj
dress the Senate OH his resolution to in
crease the membership Of certain stand
ing committees of The Senate. lie IN
timated his readiness, however, to yield
for executive business.
Mr.. Hoar did not approve of that
Course and expressed the hope that Mr.
Call would proceed with bis remarks in
accordance with the unanimous under
standing OF the Senate.
.Ir. Cockrell-"The Senator from
Florida: has the right 10 yield the floor. y
Certainly he las the right" assented
Air. Hoar. "And he has done it, Mr.
Cockrell added. 'But that destroys
The unanimous consent heretofore CIV
Ell" objected Dir. Hoar.
Mr. German renewed his motion, aud
Dir. Chandler demanded the yeas and
nays.
I'VE join in the request" said Mr.
CockrelI, with the air of person as
sured of victory. The vote was taken,
and although there were three or four
pairs announced, the result showed that
there were fifty-fve Senators voting,
twelve more thana quorum. The vote
which was u strict party one, Mr..
Peilcr and Mr.. Stewart voting with the
democratS-stood Yeas 80, nays l6.
So the Senate, at 1920 proceeded TO the
consideration of executive business.
The fight in the Senate relative tothe
Roach resolution has been transferred
to executive session and is now in pro
gress. An effort is being made to put
the matter in shape agreeable TO both
sides, hut so far the effort has been I'M
successful.

TUESDAY EVENING, APRIL II, 1898.
Ttlr eATIo ofthe foreign, to the native

THE RATIO ofthe foreign, to the native
born population Of the South is insig-
niiicant. The New York Sun says for
cisn immigration is kept away from the
South by the low rate of wages. The
san is wrong. Skilled labor commands
as high wages in the South as in the
North. and much of the labor of the
South is so inferior that it would not
be employed in the North at any price.
1t is the presence of the negro, not the
price of his labor, that prevents lmmi-
grafton to the South. There is nat
ural antagonism between the white and
the black race blood is thicker than
water, and whatnature has put asunder
man cannot join together. White peo-
ole. no matter where they may come
from. do not like to work along side OF
negroes, and therefore to be on terms
of social equality with them, and all at
tempts to make them do so fail, sooner
or later. If after the war the negroes
of the South had emigrated in a body
to the North, the people of the latter
section would have risen against them
and driven them out. But the South
bears her cross with as good grace as is
possible under the circumstances.

How SHE KEEPS FREsn.-This is the
toilet regimen of a woman who works,
but who is noted for her fresh looks and
superintendent energy. She rises ear
". and when she has dashed her face
with cold water she eats an orange, q
peach or an apple.
Then she goes on with her toilet
washing face, arms and neck with warm
water. because she has found a cold
sponge too severe for her.
Then she works awhile, and when
breakfast is ready has copied out her
notes or got them in shape to use later.
She begins breakfast with fruit.
All day she works hard, but when she
goes home she is never too tired to give
her hair its fifty long, even strokes, and
to battle her face and neck in very hot
water. When she has done that she
rubs the back of her neck vigorously
with aromatic vinegar, by which time
that tired feeling" is gone and she is
ready for dinner.
Before going to bed she eats cracker
and some stewed fruit. Then she
takes her bath, which thrice week is
a sulphur bath, made by throwing 8
handful of sulphur into the tub ofwater.
The next morning her skin is infantile
in its freshness and firmness, and she is
always alert, energetic, elastic and
healthy.-N Y. World.

AT TIE recent elections in Kansas
and Michigan there was decrease in
the democratic, and an increase in the
republican vote. AT last falrs election
the democrats strained their very heart
strings to effect change not only in
the principles but the policies of the adj
ministration. The result of the vote
naturally induced them to believe
that their objects would be accomplish
cd. But the days become weeks, and
the weeks months, and yet no attempt
even has been made to change the
principles that actuated the last ad-
ministration, and with few exceptions
the offices Of the government are still
filled by men appointed by Mr.. Harri-
son. All democrats are not patriots,
and disappointment, like time, brings its
revenues
