Wren tried in every way to have the
witness say whatlnduced him to make
a confession. He said it was not for
money or a position, nor from fear or
threats. Neither was it because the
burden on his conscience was more
than he could bear, but only because
he felt like it. 1t is manifest that his
conscience does not worry him much
when, as he testified, he attended
meetings Of the union and mingled
with the members. aih.r he had made
his confession, anG knew in his own
heart he was traitor. Wren ques-
toned him all about the round. houes
work, about the movements of the
members of the A. r. U. around the
train that morning. He contradicted
himself great many times.
The case goes on tomorrow.
CARLIN, Aug. Is.
Court Convened for evening session
at Pm.
Mr.. Wren departed for Eureka on
the evening train and Massey for
defense, continued the cross examina
tion Of Thompson. Thompson stated
that March made the motion in the
meeting on the morning of June 10Th
to cut off the pullmans. Askedif he
could say who seconded the motion,
said ano". Massey wanted to know
how he could remember so we'll who
made the motion and could not
remember who seconded it. Thomp-
son said he didn't know unless it was
that March talked longer and louder
than any one else.
The defense has produced four or
five witnesses who swear that no de-
cision had been reached at that meet
ing as to whether No should be in
terfered with or not. Other than
Thompson, Job is the only witness
who has testified that any decision
had been reached. He said his con
fession was made ten or twelve day
ago. That he has had four or five
consultations with Dennis and Far
rington since then. Two or three in
Morgan's Office, two in Sup'ts Knapp's
private car and two in McRae's office
That the first one in McRaes office
occurred over a week ago. That at
that consultation he made a written
confession and Judge Palmer was
sent for and came about eleven o'clock
at night and took his oath to the despo.
sition. The Commissioner then ask
ed him how long Judge Palmer re.

ONLY A LITTLE LESSON.

Tender Reminder.

The Florist Gives the Young Married Mao
Tender Reminder.
1t was just a little lesson, that was all,
but it went right to the spot. He stopped
a moment ON his way home to look in
florists window, and the florist, who
saw him, asked him inside to see some
hing extra fine.
"You don't buy any more flowers
nowr' said the florist.
NO" was the response, given good
naturally, though it was brief.
'And it used to be, a year ago or more,
that roses and violets and carnations
and all sorts were great attraction to
you"
Eyes; had a sweetheart them" and
the man blushed and laughed.
"You used to take her a flower every
time you went to see her, didn't your"

"And they didn't cost very much as a
rule, did they?"
"Oh, no, but that didn't make any diff
ference to her. brought them fresh and
fragrant; that was enough"
why don't you take them to her now?
Did she choose another in your steadr
And the florists voice was sympathetic.
'Oh, no; married her year ago"
The florist waited a moment as if
thinking.
"And don't you love her now?" he
asked cautiously, as if treading on thin
ice.
"Of course. We are very happy. But
you know the flower business doesn't go
any more"
ibid she ever say so?" asked the florist
"Well-um-er-no; can't say that
she ever did"
"Have you ever asked her about it?"
mo. never happened to think of it.
Busy, you know, with all sorts of things
so much more practical"
The florist didn't answer. He went to
a pot of roses and violets, and taking q
handful he handed them over to his late
customer.
There" he said, II give them to you
in remembrance of old times. You might
take them to your wife, and if she doesn't
like them you can bring them back to
me-"
But they never came back.-Detroit

There is a GOODNESS between the boys
and the girls of the Stanford university.
1t all came about from a question of pro-
priety. The boys gave a ball in their
dormitory hall on Monday night, to
which they invited all the girl students,
as we'll as the professors. Elaborate
preparations were made, and the young
men anticipated an evening of enjoy
ment. They hired band, and had the
dormitory beautifully decorated
One or two of the more modest and re-
firing of the maidens in the girls dormi-
tory were shocked at the avowed inten-
ton of some of the girls to attend the
ball, and called meeting of the girls, at
which there was long discussion of the
affair
Many of the fair students said they
could see no harm in going to the ball as
long as the professors were willing, but
the more prudish damsels read strong
lecture on the evils of such doings, and,
on vote, there was majority in favor
of not attending the ball. So none of
them went.
The boys waited long for the coming
of the fair ones, but they came not. AT
first the collegians were very angry.
Then they took the dancing floor them
selves and made "stag" party of it.
They say, however, that for future fes-
tivities they will send no invitations to
the girl students. This suits the ultra
modest among the latter, but the sociable
girls feel crushed.-San Francisco

Baron Hirsch.s Benefactions.

If it is true that General Beauregard left
$1,000,000 apiece to his two children, the
conclusion is reasonable that when he
twirled the wheel of fortune for the Louis
lana Lottery company he did not do it sole
ly for love of watching the turns of luck.
There were sure winnings in the lottery for
him, and he did not disdain to carry them
home and salt them down. Therein he diff
fered from Baron de Hirsch, who, as most
people know, finds one use of his vast in
come in demonstrating that that notable
lottery, the turf, is worth cultivating pure
ly for itself and aside from all the chances
of possible gain.
The baron has given to hospitals, homes
and benevolent associations, principally in
London, without regard to their creeds or
nationalities, all the money won by him
upon the turf during 1891 and 1892. In
1891 the winnings amounted to e7 900, and
in 1892 TO 935, 900. The amounts received
from him by various institutions vary from
$4,000 to GOO. Several of them received
e., 200, the largest beneficiary of all being
the London hospital. There are some 40
institutions on his race money list.-Har-

Eccentricity Easily Pardoned.

One of the old residents of Mount Vernon
was Theodore Marston, who moved into
the place before it was a town and settled
on the south tier of lots next to Readheld,
where he made himself good farm. He
was eccentric. but man of the strictest
honesty and remarkably generous to the
poor. When he sold a poor man bushel
of corn, he never struck the measure, and
If asked why, he would put his hand on his
heart and say, Something in here will tell
when it is full enough" and it was never
full enough" till well rounded. In 1916,
which is known as the cold season, he kept
his granary open for those who had no cash
and would say to those who had, you can
get it somewhere else; keep it only for
those who can't pay. "-Lewiston Journal.

Cloves and Rouge.

Cloves are dangerous little articles. Many
of the girls nowadays touch up their
compilations, you know. OF course no real
ly nice girl does it to any extent, for al
though it's no longer connected with vul-
garity as it used to be still it rather stamps
girl as being conspicuous, not to say loud
1t is connected somehow in our ideas with
bleached hair, blackened eyelashes and 9TH
err unpleasant receptions that never deceive
any one. But it Is such a temptation to
rouge little in the evening" and when a
girl does it artistically, and many Of them
do, defy any man to tell it from the real
bona fide bloom that nature is so chary in be-
slowing, and it is in cases of this kind that
the innocent looking, pleasant smelling lit
tie Glove may do its deadly work.
1t is said by the best authorities that if q
girl il rouged and a man eats cloves and
then, to put it plainly and yulgarly, blows
on" her cheek, that self same cheek will turn
black. But all the smart men who have
hear this and determined in their innermost
and very suspicious hearts to try 1t on
some unsuspecting sweet feminine creature
should also be informed that while the rule
holds good in most cases yet there are some
kinds of rouge that are not affected by
cloves just as there are kinds that defy
water. And any girl who uses that sort may
weep, or get caught out in the rain, or rub
her cheek with her handkerchief to prove to
you that she is innocent of the charge, and
yet for all that she may be arti6cally paint

Another effort is being made by the
inhabitants of Choisy-le-Roi outside of
Paris, to observe with much solemnity
and ceremonial what is vaguely called
the Centenary of the Marseillaise. :"
Choisy-leRoi claims to possess the dust
of Rouget de PIsle-the composer Of the
hymn-who was buried there in 1886,
his birthplace being Lons-le-Saulnier, in
the department of the Jura. On this ac-
count the members of the borough coun-
Gil consider that they have the right to
take the initiative in organizing a Right
Republican festival this year, as the Mar
seillase, under the title of "Chant de
Guerre de PArmee du Rhin," was first
heard in 1892.
President Carnot is to be asked to be-
come honorary president of the commit
tee of the fete, and appeals for funds
will be made to all the cities, and also
to communes which possess more than
1000 inhabitants. No date as yet has
been fixed for the celebration of the CEN
tenary, to which it is presumed that
every patriotic Frenchman will give his
sentimental and sympathetic-if not
practical and pecuniary-support.-

Fire Drills In Private Houses.

At one of the houses in Mayfair a novel
and not altogether purposeless form Of en-
tertainment or experiment was devised.
The hostess, having a new fire escape, de
termined to have a midnight instruction
drill in the use Of it, with one of the inspect
ors on hand to see it carried out. Accord
ingly at midnight the false alarm was given
out and the ladies and visitors Of the house
hold maneuvred the escape, and all alight-
ed on the pavement in safety. Such prac-
tice is worth the attention of other house
holders, and perhaps the midnight drill is
the more effective, as most fires occur at
that time. Lady Maple has such drills car
ried out periodically at her city and coun-
try houses, and the fire drill at Holloway
college has become matter of celebrity

syndicate of Chicago. During the last

succeeded in securing $50, 900 acres of
land in North Dakota, on which it is
proposed to place German farmers to
raise barley for malt purposes. These
lands have been purchased in Nelson,

1t is the opinion of the managers of
this company that barley can be most
successfully grown in that state, and
they have the conviction of their belief
sufficiently to purchase these lands and
to send out emigrants from other states.
The Germans are chosen on account of
their knowledge of barley culture for
this purpose. These emigrants will not
