with a tremendous reprt and shattered

A strong force Of militia ana police
soon had posssssin OF the restaurant,

Mrs. Palmer Again Testifes From Her
Sick led. =.
FRESNO, April 4.-Mrs. Palmer, who
gave such sensational evidence last week
in the Heath murder trial, was again
placed on the stand today and testified
from her sick bed in contradiction
to some testimony offered by
the defense from f. j. Boland,
a former husband of Mrs. Palmer.
Bolend's whole evidence was an inn
peachment OF that given by Mrs.
Palmer, who claimed to have seen Reel
Terry and another man driving away
from the vicinity of McWhirter's resi-
dence just after the shooting had oc-
Cured. The general opinion is that while
Mrs. Palmer's evidence may be faulty,
it is much stronger than Boland'a.
Other testimony was offered to offset
that OF Mrs. Featherstone, who yester-
day made such startling statements ro-
gaFding seeing a buggy and hack drive
up to the residences Of Judge Harris.
w. d. Grady came in for considerable
comment in today's proceedings; some
OF the witnesses suspected him as being
connected with the death OF McWhifter.
There will likely be arrests of some oi
these witnesses In the near future.

Donald Murry, a newspaper man Of

not only produce typewriter copy in

crate a typesetting machine here and

operator, by Using a number Of telegraph

this operation any ordinary currents are
used, such as are capable of being relay

Safety stcn1nnders.

An English invention aims to provide
security against liability to accident
from the slipping of ladders. Therem-
edy in this case is the introduction of a
novel form of shoe suitably attached.
1t consists of bracket which can be Sc
curely bolted to each side of the ladder,
formed at its lower edge with a Ing
through which a hole is bored, shoe
being loosely jointed to this by means
of pin passing through it and the lug
connection being SO free that the shoe
can easily swing TO the under sido of
the shoe a corrugated pad Of rubber is
fixed. Tho effect of this arrangement
is that in whatever position the ladder
is fixed there is always q grip upon the
ground which prevents slipping, the
freedom Of the shoe enabling a ladder to
be placed almost horizontally without
incurrihg the least liability of clipping.
When desired, shoes can be applied to
the upper ends Of a ladder, thus pre-
venting any damage to the walls or the

JULIUS CAESAR RECITAL.
Large Audience Enjoyed Mr.. Abbott's Elo-
cution at the Second Advent Church.


The Second Advent church was crowded
last evening ON the occasion of the first OF
Mr. Abbotts ShaGespearian recitals. the
proceeds of which are for the benefit of the
lnvalds home.
Mr. Abbott was very cordially received by
the large audience. He announced that he
was to deliver a series of three recitals rom
Shakespearian plays. He said that the
play of Julius Caesar, the subject of the
evening, was the most accurate of the
historical dramas, since it follows the facts
of history most closely.
After brief outline and comment of the
chief characters of the play Mr.. Abbott be-
gan his recitation. He possesses a very
pleasing presence upon the platform. He
spoke very distinctly SO that no one in the
audience could have missed word.
The wit of the cobbler in the first scene,
the craftiness of Cassins, the nobleness and
weakness of Brutus, the brutality of
Casker, the ipperiousness of Caesar and the
eloquonce of Mark Anthony, were very
realistically presented.
Mr. Apbott's command of the situation
was admirable. Not once did his memory
or his tongue fail him, and his elocution
carried his hearers into the very spirit and
meaning of the great drama. 1t was a very
enjoyable and profitable evening.
Next Tuesday he will recite 'sAs You
Like IT, and there will be some stereopti-
con views.

Bicycles Unsuitee for Service,

Washington, November 1.-The bright
hopes that have been entertained by
military men that the bicycle might be
an effective adjunct in war times have
been dashed by the exhaustive trials
made in Germany, France and Austria,
of bicycle corps. United States Consul
Stephen, at Annaberg, has transmitted
to the State Department an article from
a military correspondent upon the result
of those obtained in France and Aus
tria. tie says that the results of the tri-
ais which the various army corps have
made with the, cyclist by no means come
to the expectations which were formed.
He details one or two cases wherein the
cyclists were of service as mounted post
men but says where the roads were bad
they were of no use at all, and certainly
can never replace the mounted orderly.
An army which can only be effectively
employed under special conditions can
never rise to be of general Importance.
