: WAsrMercs. March so--The surprise
Of the Pollard -Breckinridgs trial yester-
dag was the unexpected appearance of
one Of Miss Poilard's old lovers, Rankin
Rogsell.a Kentucky .schoolmastsr. His
deposition had been read in the case. but
to make his testimony doubly sure, the
AK lance vas introduced In person, and
no sooner had he taken the stand, than
Madeline Pollard glided In for the first
time this week.
Most Of the testimony yesterday was in
the form of dispositions, and much of IL
was Of = character which can only be pub
lished in expurgated form. Those
despositions. regarding which Judge
Bradley had expressed his regrets that
they could not be excluded on general
principles, were reeited, and the justifica-
tion for the scathing comments on them
was self-evident Some of the language
employed BY Hiram Kaufman, Lexing-
ton butcher, and John Brandt, a janitor
from the same place, would hardly be
tolerated In well regulated barroom.
These gentlemen admitted In a matter
offact way their tendencies toward
habitual drunkenness and marital inf
deity, and the court admitted their state
ments unexpurgated, as he remarked in
conversation that the jury might Judge Of
the character OF the witnesses
Colonel Breekinridge's private secretary
was one witness of the day, and another
was Colonel Hay, an expert on penman-
ship. who was subjected to further cross
examination upon the principles employed
in detecting forgeries under the sug-
gestion of another expert, who sat at
Attorney Wilson's elbow.
From the addition of this new expert
into the case 1t looks as though q hard
fight had been preoipitated over the
authenticity Of that black bordered letter.
The case Of the defense will draw to a
close, with the appearance of Colonel
Breckenridge. whose testimony is ex-
pected to occupy at least three days. as
long time as Madeline Pollard was on
the stand
Then there will be rebuttal for an in.
definite length, as Miss Pollard will take
the stand again. and witnesses have been
summoned from Kentucky.

Heyerman's Story Of the
Wreck Of the Kearsarge.
HE KNEW THAT DANGER EXISTED
And Did the Best He Could to Avert
Disaster-He Does not shirk Respon-
ability, and If There is Blame is
willing TO Shoulder 10.

BROOKLYN. March 29.-The arguments
Commander Heyerman of the United
States corvette Kearsarse were presented
yesterday to the general court-martial in
the navy yard. before which he is on trial
for culpable neglect of duty in the strand
ing of the corvette on Roncador reef,
Lieutenant Commander Marx said that
he had sent to the navy department for
the records TO see IL there were any COM
plaints against Commander Heyerman,
Sut the documents had not arrived.
Commander Heyerman. however, was
willing to 60 ahead without them. He
then presented his written defense. The
paper wss read by the accused COM
mander's counsel 10 consists of 90 type
written pages, written In the first person.
He began by saying that his having been
accused OF negligence In the accepted
sense of the word was complete surprise
70 him. Then he continued: During
the afternoon Of Feb. 2 every moment of
my time and nearly every thought in my
mind was devoted to navigating the ship.
and keeping her clear Of the dangers
well knew to exist" lta
Commander Heyerman then made an
analysis Of the currents. in which he
found the ship for two days previous to
her stranding. He continued;
1T is easy now for every one to say that
my calculations were wrong. for things
happened which could not be foreseen nor
expected, and naturally what might hsvs
been done can now be easily suggested.
Yet feel sure that every member Of this
court will Judge me by my acts per-

posal at that time"

Judge Advocate Kelley then addressed
the court. saying that the prosecution
will not attempt 10 refute the claim that
Commander Heyerman considered care.
fully the waters he had to traverse on the
trip from Port au Prince TO Bluehelds
But the negligence consisted In that when
about five miles to the north and east of
Roncador reef, Commander Heysrman
shaped and held . course which lays
toward dangerous reef, surrounded by
strong currents, well known to exist. and
that he failed to change the. course in
time to avoid the subsequent disaster.
Furthermore, Heyerman failed to in
crease the speed Of the ship by the use of
steam so that the reef could be sighted
during daylight, and though aware of
the difficulty of sighting the reef at night.
he did not before darkness fell haul off
60 some safe course in clear water to the
northward.
After Judge Advocate Kelley had fin
ished, the case was declared closed, and
the court was cleared to allow its mem
bers to deliberate and find their verdict.

for revision. IL will be announced to
Commander Heyerman later.

Tripe Is such nutritious food and
agrees So well with dyspeptics and
fever patients that it is a pity SO few
people know how to prepare and cook
t.
In the country it is almost impossi-
ble to get tripe at the butchers, and
the canned article may be tripe in
name but not in flavor.
1t is no easy task to prepare tripe Et
home and the superior quality viii
more than repay the extra work.
The method used in our family is SO
easy and good that country people and
all persons that kill their own beef
,hould give it trial.
Empty the tripe of its contents as
soon as possible after the animal is
killed. Wash it well and lay it in cold
water to soak. Running water is n-c-
est, hut large tub will do very well.
Let it soak all day or over night, and
it is well to change the water once or
twice. After soaking, prepare kettle
of strong lye water, using concentrated
lye. Cut the tripe i'll pieces of a sulta-
bic size for easy handling. Have ready
tub half full of cold water and q
smooth board or washboard. When
the lye is boiling hot drop in pieces of
the tripe, let them boil few minutes.
then take them out, lay them on the
board, and with sharp knife scrape
them we'll. The brown lining will slip
off easily leaving the tripe clean and
white. Wash well and lay in salt
water over night or for day or t*c
md it is ready for use.
The tripe must first be boiled until
very tender, when it is ready to pickle
or use in any way one may prefer -

ina Indian Hornbm

A hornbin is something like big

Il catches q little ball of food, II
thrown to it, with sharpness and
precision worthy of cricketer. On
one occasion, when Mrs. Hornbiu had
made herself q nest in the hollow
trunk of the tree in their house and
deposited her eggs in it, Mr.. Hornblu
came and plastered up the opening
with mud, leaving only small space
sufficient for him to insert his bill and
feed the female and nestlings. He
feeds them in very affectionats man
ner, by throwing up from his own
stomach pellets of food, enveloped.
something like sausage, in "gizzard
sacs" formed of portions OF the in
terror lining of his own ST omach. This

For Badness.

An English physician named Mopo.
ther has been making researches into the
influence of certain kinds of food on
badness. Two Of the forms of food, he
asserts, that nearly everyone takes every
day, beef aud milk, have, by their chem
ical composition, the effect Of aunihi-
lating the primordial elements of the
hair and withering the roots. Doctor
Mopother thinks that different albumin.
old food and starchy substances, partic-
larly dark colored oats, which contain
twenty-five per cent. of silica, have a
powerful effect in making the hail. grow.
The races OF men that have the finest
hair are usually those living on starchy
substances and vegetables. s.-Detroit

TAXING CARE OF THE cIoTHEs-LrNh.

IAhlNu SAhr. or LIE
Washing-day is too full of hard
work and vexation to take any risks of
having to do any portion of the work
over, and the housekeeper who looks
we'll to the accessories to such labor
may save many an annoyance and
great deal of weariness, beside con.
siderable time.
Among the unnecessaries of such
occasions is ;ha patch ng and riociIc-
put of clothes-lines, the work Of -uD-
bing them with wet rags and the not
unusual occurrence of a bad break,
when the entire contents of the line
may have to be rinsed again, even if it
not necessary to give them thorough
Washing to remove spots and stains.
Clothes-lines should be carefully
iaken down as soon as the clothes are
dry. In doing this do not drag them
on the ground or pull them over the
dusty walks or porches, for they are
liable to be damp and will catch any
particles of dirt that they come in con-
tact with. This necessitates a thorough
cleaning when they must be used again,
or the risk of making spots on the
clothes. Tie the line up in close bale
and put it in bag kept expressly TO,
ihis purpose.
Some people leave the lines out from
week to week, and, as a consequence,
have to clean them and take the
chances of having streaks and soils on
the clean clothes, or, worse than this,
find them parted in some weak spot
and the wash spsttered and dragging
in the mud The few minutes work
necessary to take down and put away
all lines is time well spent. York
