THE BEGINS
GOVERNMENTS EVIDENCE IN THE
CABINET COMPANY CASE ALL IN.
Attempt to show n High Valuation
OF the P~Iant-Court VIII Have
No Delay.

The government has concluded its case
and introduced all the evidence upon which
it will ask for the conviction of the Collins
and Reed in the case which has now occu-
pied nearly four weeks Of the time of the
United States District Court. The last wit
ness examined was expert Hays, whose
examination-in-chief was completed just
prior TO the adjournment Of the noon re-
cess. In the present case teller Robinson
has testified to substantially what
would have devolved upon the ex-
pert had not the teller been available.
The defense began presenting their side of
the case to the jury about half past 3
o'clock. Mr.. Duncan desired the court to
take an adjournment at that time till this
morning to enable the defense to shape up
their testimony, but the court said they
had had two weeks in which to prepare
their case for presentation and the court
could permit no more delay than was alb
solutely necessary. Both the morning and
afternoon sessions Of the court was marked
by clashes between counsel for the defense
and the court. In the morning 1t arose over
the offer of the government to introduce in
evidence, In bulk, all of the checks drawn
by the cabinet company. This was objected
to by the defense unless they were Informed
Of the contents OF such of the checks as
the government intended to make use of in
argument After some argument the court
ordered all Of the checks read. and said he
would require all of them to be set out in
the record.
In the afternoon the clash arose over a
motion by the defense to compel the gov
eminent TO select upon which specific
charge in each of the general counts it
would depend for conviction. AS a result
Of this clash the court refused to grant the
defense longer than the time of the trial
to prepare and file a bill of exc .ons to
his overruling OF the motion. Counsel for
the defense say they do not know how long
ii will take to present their case to the
jury, but do not believe 1T will occupy more
than the present week, and the case will
probably go to argume next week. The
case of the government has closed without
the testimony of T. p. Haughey. although
it was stated In public print a few weeks
ago that he would be called and would tes-
tify against the Collins.

Betting on n Horse Race.

William I. Long, an ~ex-Councilman. and
Patrick Murphy. a saloon keeper, owners
of horses over which there was a great deal
OF rivalry as to the speed of each. met
near the fair grounds a few days ago and
fixed a race at $40 a side. The money was
put in the hands OF Frank Rail. The finish
was close, and Rail was undecided as 70
whom to give the money, but finally handed

INDIFFERENT TO DEAD SOLDIERS.
The Federal Government Only Allows
SO for Sergeant Walsh's Burial.

The apparent neglect of the United States
government was shown yesterday when
the undertakers who have charge of the re-
mains of Sergeant James Walsh, OF the
United States recruiting Office. who was
found dead in a bathtub Sunday. were in
formed that SO would be allowed by the
government for the burial expenses. Walsh
had relatives residing in Buffalo, N. Y,
but nothing has as yet been heard from
them. In case they should not be heard
from the body will be buried in one Of the
national cemeteries. The pauper burial is
never less than so, and though Walsh had
considerable money in one of the local
banks the government will not allow any
more than 80 to be given for burial pur-
poses. In case that the dead mans rela-
tives do not claim the money in a certain
time IL will go to the government.

A Girl Violently Insane.

Leddie Bowler. aged sixteen years, re-
siding at No. 425 Railroad street, whose
mind is affected, was found wandering
around in her stocking feet on the Bee
line tracks yesterday afternoon during the
rain by patrolman Albertsmeyer. She was
taken to the police station, where she
showed a number of scars on her limbs,
body and head. and told a heartrending
story of cruelty by her parents. Later
her parents called at the police station and
told Superintendent Powell that she had.

MEMS nf the Eeafiral

The festival last night was a great sue
cess. There was a fine attendance and all
of the artists acquitted themselves with
great credit. The chorus, under the able
training and direction of Prof. Arens. was
the best that has ever been organized
here. Mr.. Marteau's playing showed him
the artist he had been heralded, and he
was ably supported by the magnificent
Steinway Grand Piano on which he was ac-
c0mpanied, the wonderful Musical quality
OF the piano blending so tremendously with
his fine Magini violin. That the %Ste!nway
we'll deserves its great fame as the king
OF pianos is proven every time one is
played or heard. The management for the
festival have reason TO feel highly gratified
with the success last night.

with the greatest reluctance. In speaking
of Il, Mr.. McDoel said: Our business has
suffered severely through the trade depres-
sion and labor troubles. Our coal freights
from the Indiana mines are practically
nothing. We were paying a higher average
good active business would justify, and it
was positively necessary to make the re-
ductions."
Albert 5. White, general freight agent Of
the Big Four lines, is in the city. Last even
ing, in speaking OF the freight situation,
he said the general tendency was now to
a restoration of freight rates to tariff and
their maintenance. He thought the reor-
Traffic Association would go a long ways
ritory it covers, but with the Central Traf-
ftc Association lines. The Big Fou is now
doing very well so far as it's freight business
IS concerned, and the earnings, all things
considered, are quite satisfactory.
There were a number Of passenger as
well as freight men here yesterday, and
the general tenor OF their remarks was that
there is little which is encouraging to rec
ord in passenger traffic. The Chicago pas
senger men say the travel between Chicago
and the West Is lighter than a few weeks
ago. Increasing distrust as to the business
situation since the commencement OF the
labor troubles, they say, operates adversely
ON travel between leading business centers.
General managers vino were here yesterday
regard the outlook as anything but hopeful,
and they anticipate a light business until
autumn

The Advancement Of Women.

"What shall we do with our girls%
isn't such hard question to answer as
it used to be, and now I think Of it,
what shall we do with our boysp is
growing to be something Of problem.

culated to strike terror to your heart,

expected to inhabit that realm popularity
referred to as sphere" and look up to a
man, depending upon him, believing In
him, deferring to him, and the problem
about the boys is how to make them to
match her. The women have been made
to match the men for a long time-in
fact, ever since the Greater invented Mis-
tress Eve.
It really looks as though circumstances
were hedging about US that rather COM
pei us to fashion the boys after better
pattern in order to make them a match
for the girls. It's rather a good sort of a
scheme, and it leads up to host of bet
ter things, such as we have been led to
believe belonged to the millennium.
The advancement Of women has regu-
larly been the cause Of sowing the seeds
of socialism among the entire sex. They
are gradually learning to demand more
things-justice, among others-and to
learn that they only obtain by demand

MnmOl.ing The Horse.

DR.. Leahy, horse trainer, says in
an exchange: when horse stops
and proposes to turn around don't
resist the turn, but give him a quiet
horizontal pull in the direction he
wants to turn, so as to carry him
farther around than he intended to
go, and if possible keep him going
round half dozen times. In most
cases this will upset all his calcula-
tions, and he will go quietly on with
out much ado. If six turns will not
do give him twenty. In fact, if he
will keep on turning to your rein you
are sure to conquer, as enough turn
ing will confuse him and leave him
at your command If he. will not
turn and will back to the rein keep
him going backward in the direction
you want to go. He will soon get
tired of that and prefer to go with
the right end forward. but before
you let him go give him decidedly
more backing than he likes"

A REMARKABLE PIGEON
He Lived on Board Ship For Thirty>,hr
Years and Never Strayed Away.

He Lived on Board Ship For Thirty, hres
Years and Never Strayed Away.
In 1861 Captain Newbury, now of Oak
land, ran out Of New York in the ship
Mary Jane and anchored at Norfolk on
April 10. With the night came the news
that Virginia had gone out of the Union,
and the captain hove anchor and pre-,
pared to run for it, fearing the confsca-
ton of his ship.
Just as the vessel was under way,
when the first hint of the morning was
streaking the black of the sky, pigeon,
spent with the wanderings of the night,
futtered above the ship and alighted
upon yard. 1t was secured without
difficulty.
From that time until few days ago,
during life of nearly 39 years, it never
attempted another flight and lived mate
less, unclassifed and lone.
Captain Newbury made pet of the
bird, which had many of the markings
of a long distance pigeon, but which
was unlike any other pigeons known to
America. Though frequently exhibited
and taking valuable prizes for its beauty
and unusual intelligence, no one ven
tured to say to what family of the avi-
fauna it belonged, and it seems to have
been the last of its race.
1t scorned the nest provided for other
pigeons. but made its home in shoe
lined with wool. Into this he was tucked
and covered like child in a crib. If
threatened by predatory cat or wan

peck on the door and CO pialntfeesr5 Fl for
protection. At the approach of strangers
he would give warning in the same man
ner.
Through all its days it would not mate
with any other dove or pigeon, but lived
life of bachelorhood, its extraordinary
age of 93 years indicating that celibacy
tends to longevity in birds as we'll as
men.
In ordinary demeanor Billy was grave
and reserved, buthe unbent to the music
of waltz and tripped his measures in
perfect time and with no inconsiderable
grace.
1t was Captain Newbury's intention to
have exhibited the bird as part of Ala
media county's display at the Midwinter
fair, but this plan was stopped by death.
The taIidermist who was intrusted
with "setting up" the ancient pet said
the species was entirely new to him, and |
it is probable that Billy had been blown
from some far shore before finding a
haven on the Mary Jane. Having one
sad experience of flight, he never at
tempted it again.-San Francisco Ex-

The Original Americans.

1t is possible, according to recent sci
entifc researches, that the people from
whom, in the opinion of some investi-
gators, the name of America was de-
rived were originally inhabitants of the
Polynesian islands. Ages ago, it is be-
lieved, a nearly complete land connec-
ton existed between those islands and
Central America, the Pacific ocean being
at that time almost bridged with chain
of islands.
The tribe of Indians afterward known
as the Ameriques are supposed from GER
tain remains to have first taken posses
sion of an Observation-Disclosures
the western edge of Nicaragua, where
they left some very interesting carvings
and other tokens of their skill.
Afterward, according to the theory, a
substance of the land occurred, which
drove them eastward until they came to
the fertile slopes of the Amerique noun
tains, where their descendants are still
to be found. 1t has been suggested that
Yespucius got His pseudonym of Amer
igo" from the name of this tribe of In
dams.
If all these things are true, it might
be pointed out that even geological con-
vulsions have played part in the long
series Of events leading up, as if in ODE
dience to decree of Providence, to the
the new world not Columbia,
but America.-Youth's Companion.

Diseases of Makers of aIelinite.

Melinite, the French explosive, is apt
to poison the workmen engaged in max
ing it. After. some TIM they lose their
appetites and good digestion, their skins
turn yellow, and they show signs of poi
soning by the vapors of picric acid,
which is chemically formed in their sys-
TENS. At last the acid attacks the bron-
chial tubes, and influenza or pneumonia
may supervene. Messrs. Sykes and Ross
have also shown that similar effects re-
suit from the manufacture of roburite.
The French government has allowed the
operatives in the melinite factories ra-
ton of milk daily to counterfeit the poi
son.-London News.
