1t Wns a Hard Blow.

MINNEAPOLIS, Feb 13-The state, In

Harry Hayward today, delivered blow
whi;h Staggered the defense. Peter
Vailslie, the backmsn. of whom Harry
bad spoken to Adrian as being willing to
assist 10 the proposed crime, SAID Harry
approached bin with questions as to
whether he had ever "done anything"
and, if 80. whether his conscience bothered
him. Hayward later asked Vallslie
whether he would drive q hack into Lake
Calhoun and let the occupant drown for
q sum of money.
II told MIN I was not swimmer" said
Vallai:e, land that Was about the end OF
it,"
Erwin recognized the supreme i'm por-
tance of ID testimony, and tried to have
It strlcxen out entirely. The Court,
however, refused to sustain his ohjec' ion,
and the evidence goes to the jury.
The HAYWARD family did nor appear in
court TODAY. II is believed that Harry
Hayward, himself, will ue one Of the first
witnesses put on for the defense. The
opening address for the defence is to be
made bv John Day Smith.
Mrs. Emma Guod.le q trance-medium,
testified that at Harry Hayward's request
she told Miss Cling. who called to have
her fortune told, that she would be very
lucky at cards it she played.

THE TRILBY FOOT.

Americans possess mercurial TEN
permanent almost equal to the French
or Irish. The rage after "Trilby" the
creation of Mr.. Maurier IN his cele-
brated book, has extended over the
continent, and the foot Of the heroine
has become fashionable fad. The
author of the book is an artist, and, in
his very interesting story, gave
his heroine perfect pedal ex,remities;
but it is not expected that full atten-
tion should be given to the feet and
the heart and brain neglected. 1t is
safe rule to follow to spend great care
on the culture of the head and heart.
and the feet will take care of them
selves. If the coming woman expects
to do her part in the progress of the
world, force of mind and proper en-
ergy of the affections should he cult
waited, and not too much time giving
to produce artistic curves in that por-
ton of the physique upon woieb de
pendence is placed to propel one over
the mud and filth through which it
may be necessary to pass. The wives
and mothers Of the twentieth century
should have large and cultured brains,
aEectionate and sympathetic hearts,
and it will make little difference
they wear No. ! or No.
shoes, or whether their feet have Gre
.ian or rrilby curvatures.o or are shaped
,olidly like Gothic columns.

THE GOLD RESERVE.

The harangues of silverites that the
attempts of President Cleveland to
save the credit of the nation by MAIN
tanning sufficient gold In the treasury
to pay any notes that may be presented
in houest coin is done to favor Wall
street capitalists, is demogogism Of the
worst kind. A national pledge should
be as sacred as one made by an in,
diyidual, and the government has
promised to redeem these notes in
either gold or silver as the person may
desire. Since the agitation of the sill
YER question the demand for gold in
payment of obligations has largely in
creased, and this has caused an extra
drain on the treasury. Ii these howl
ing silverites are patriotic end honest
they will attempt to keep down this
demand on the treasury by ceasing to
preach their financial fallaoles, and
doing all they can to re establish public
confidence. The people are afraid the
country will change to silver basis,
and are cashing every United States
note in gold. They are afraid of bank
ruptcy, and are making a run on the
bank to cash their checks before repu-
diation is adopted. This fear has been
created by wild theorists. who advocate
impracticable notlons of finance, which
have proved destructive wherever
tried. II the people were confident
that the nation would be honest with
it's creditors the drain on the treasury
would stop. land resort would not be had
to every possible means to keep up the
gold reserve. The commercial world
demands q single standard, and that
stand ard to be gold. If the secretary

deplored that the Republicans
