Mr.. Adams asked IL the blow on Mrs.

the reply.
Mr.. Adams asked in regard 3, the
wounds Of Mrs. Borden. DIR. Draper
said that two on the back of the skull
were sharply edged on the right and

Some OF the wounds on the top OF the

some Of these cuts at least indicate that
they were caused by left-handed blows 2"
My study OF them was the reply inoi-

DIR. Draper agreed with Professor
Woods statements in regard to the spat-
tering Of blood.
Dr. Cheever Called.
Dr. Cheever of Harvard was called to
the stand. He corroborated the previoy Y 8
testimony in all respects. Three of the
were made while the victim was stand
ing. The others were made while she
way lying down.
The bows were such In all cases as
might have been made with the handless
hatchet by woman of ordidary
strength, proyiding she had sufficient
leverage. "What should you call sulfi-
cient levera e" asked Mr.. Kuowlton
About twelve or fourteen incues," was
the reply
Dr. Cheever said that frequently in his
surgical operations he was spattered
with blood, often on his clothes, his face,
his beard, his hands and on his shoes.
Mr.. Adams then started for another
point. IL related to tue little hatchet

cases was the same. would not he blo1d

impossible to remove it before the
hatchet was used in the case OF Mr.. Bor-

IF the blood had dried for an hour

hatchet could it afterwards have been re-
moved so c. mple, ely as To escape detec-
tion by chem. cal tests 2" Mr.. Adams

Adams No; not easily"
Mr.. Adams then returned to the vic
tins and the assailants. He referred to
the squirting Of blood from the arteries
which we're cut by the blows delivered oil
Mr.. Borden's head. The witness said
that from one the blood would squirt out
into tue room; from another it would
spurt against the sofa; from the
temporal artery it would squirt
over the head of the sofa some two oil
three feet. He thought that the assail-
ant must have stopped over in order to
reach Mr.. Borden's head, and that in
such position blood would not only be
spattered over him, but would be spurt-
ell over him very considerably"
The doctor then illusl Rated the posi-
tion OF the assailant in attacking Mrs.
Bordel. He thought the murderer must
have been meNhat taller than Mrs
Bordea. The court then adjourned till

The Evening Missionary Session.

The evening service was devoted to the
missionary efforts OF the diocese. Ad-
dresses were made by Rev. Mr.. billiard
Of Boston, Dean Bassett OF Providence
and Dean Tucker OF Pawtucket. The
bad weather kept the attendance down
TO very small point. After the devo-
tional exercises, Rev. Henry Bassett
spoke briefly on the work Of the missions
with which he is familiar. saying that
the convention has every reason to be
thankful for the success in this direc-
tion. The convention system has ac-
complished great ueal aud the speaker
wished the convention to be very gen.
erous to this brauch OF the church work
in order that still better results might
be produced.
Rev. Mr.. Hillart of Boston said that
our great cause of thankfulness to the
church is the TACT that "A great many lay
men and women are very much inter-
ested in the work Of the church,
aud devote so much time To 1t.
He spoke of the many ways in
which this Is accomplished. delin-
eating some of the work In Boston.
The coffee houses were mentioned and
the great good that they are accomplish
ing was fully brought out. The cause of
his city, and there is no reason why that
cannot DO the case In Providence. The
are the same and by a
little self sacrifice the work will be sue
cessfui, and those Interested la IL will be
Iully repaid.
Rev. William p. Tucker of Pawtucket
spoke on the financial prospects OF the
work. Tue diocese is raising
more and more money every year for the
work, aud while several years ago there
was u deficiency the subscriptions have
been increasing until now there Is every
reason for encouragement. The work in
the missions is by no means flushed, and
the speaker hopel that the many
parishes would be even more liberal in
the future than in the past.

State Insurance in Germany.

John Graham Brooks, the bureau of
labor expert, describes in the Forum
the effect Of compulsory state insurance
I'm Germany. Ten years ago the first
step was taken to bring the whole body
of German wage-earners under COM
pulsory state insurance. To-day nearly
thirteen million laborers are actually
insured against sickness. accident, in
validity and old age. The peoele are
fairly satisfied with the provisions ex-
cepting those concerning old age and
invalidity. which they would eagerly
vote out of existence if possible. The
limit of age has apparently been
placed too high. MIR. Brooks thinks
the experiment on the whole greaG
success, particularly in its indirect So
Biological results.

Boots BIackened for Moth Ing.

Free shines are to be had in every
large city in the United States to-day,
but to get one you must go to the shop
where you bought your shoes. This
idea of blaclening the shoes of GUS
toners for nothing was put in, opera
ton five years ago by firm of New
England manufacturers who had
twenty-five agencies in different parts
of the country. A bootblack was hired
at each one of these agencies. At first
the customer went in timidly and had
his shoes BACKED once after buying
them. When he next bought shoes he
had them BACKED dozen times, and
now there are men who never think of
paying for shine. The scheme was
copied by a number of manufacturers,
SO that it is not unusual to find half a
dozen places on single block where
backing is done for nothing. In some
of the larger shops as many as five
men are kept busy at this work, but it
is noticed that they do not labor as
severely as bootblacks do who are in
business for themselves. One concern
gives to each customer a card with
numbers to be punched out The card
is good for fifty shines
