WILDE TESTIFIES.
He Tells of His Friendly Relations
With Young Men.

London. May 20. There was the
| usual crowd of PEOPLE in the Old
Bailey court room when Sir Edward
Clarke addressed the jury in behalf of
his client. Oscar Wilde. who is charged
with serious miSdemeanOrs. Wilde was
called TO the witness box and was
provided with a chair, as he seemed to
be utterly broke down. Wilde in an
Swer TO questions related how he had
been on terms of intimacy with the
marquis of Queensberry's family for
years and entirely denied the charges
made against him. When Wilde was
asked about the famous letters which
he had written to Lord Alfred, and
which were read at the first trial, the
defendant said that ii was a beautiful
way In which an artist would write
to Il cultured man. Taking up the let
ter which Wilde had written 10 Lord
Alfred praiSing his red roSeleaf lips"
and slim gilt SOUL that walked be
tween poetry and fashion," Sir Frank
asked the defendant whether he con-
sidered this letter to be decent. Wilde
replied, "decency does not come into
the question"
''DO you understand the meaning Of
the word?" asked counsel sternly.
Yes replied Wilde.
Sir Frank then closely examined de-
PENDANT regarding his relations with
Lord Alfred Douglas, as to how it
came 20 pass that they occupied adj
joining rooms. Wilde admitted that
he had made repeated visits to the
rooms OF Alfred Taylor, where he met
number of young men. Wilde also
admitted his intimacy with other
young men whose names were men
toned during the previous trial.

NO Fun FOR WILDE.
The Old Bailey Crowded Mt the Trial
His Friends Confer.

London, May 25.-The Old Bailey
rourt was again crowded to-day when
the trial of O@car Wilde was resumed.
Wilde entered the court room looking
haggard, and stood for some time at
the foot of the jury box, cOnversing
with Rev. Stewart Headlam. one of
the bondsmen. They We're joined
later on by Lord Douglas of Hawick,
whose eye is still disco lOred as a re-
suit Of his encounter with his father,
the Marquis of Queensberry. in Pic
cadilly, for which they We're bound
over yesterday in f10O each to keep
the peace. The Marquis of Queens
berry was also in court. looking con-
fident and iaunty. He watched Wilde
closely and paid great attention to the
evidence. Wilde, it was noticed, care
fully avoided the gaze of the Marquis.
Wilde. Lord Douglas of Hawick and
Rev. Stewart Headlam remained in
earnest conversation until the judge
took his seat They listened atten-
lively to all the testimony furnished,
evidently weighing every word as stu
diOuSly as counsel on both sides The
earnest conversation of the trio was
an incident which attracted much at
tentiOn, and was considerably COM
mented upon. When the case was re-
opened the evidence furnished ut the
previous trial was repeated in detail
no new points of any importance be-
ing made.

To Prevent strikes.

Milwaukee. May 20. - The interna-
tional horSeshoers convention has de-
vised a way whereby there will be
very few strikes hereafter among tho
horse shoers of the United States and
Canada. This is assured as result of
the formation of a new organization
composed Of the officers Of the inter
national bodies of both masters and
journeymen, to be known as the SUI
preme council of scientific horseshoers,
representing the united horseshoers Of
the two countries. This action was
taken as a result of the conference be-
tween the committees appointed for
that purpose by the two organiza-
tons.

Measurfng Mental Time.

Prof. f. w. Scripture of Yale UNI
versitv. whose psycholC gical subjects
are now given special attention, has
been doing some valuable work with
the new apparatus called the pendu-
lum chronoscope. or the pendulum
timer designed for recording the time
occupied by the various operations of
the mind Some Ct the tests of this
Instrument, made at recent deldon-
stratiOn by Prof. Scripture. We're ~
interesting. Skilled piano-forte play
ers know that one of the main essen
tails to a smooth and artistic perform
ance in the ability to press any re-
quired number of keys exactly at the
same instant This is much more diff
ficult than is generally believed, but
the timer will bring the musician
nearer to it than any inctrument yet
devised. A well-knOwn pianist was
asked by Prof. Scripture to preside at
the piano. He was told to move both
hands at the same time in pressing
the keys. He was quite sure that he
had done so until the reading Of the
timer was taken. This showed that his
left hand was fifteen-thouSandthS of a
second behind the right To obtain
this record telegraph key was put
under each of the performers hands.
Connected to these was an apparatus,
including large spark coil and two
metal recording points which rested
on a revolving drum. The drum was
covered with smoked paper. The mo-
ment each key was pressed spark
was made from its pointer, and the
distance between the sparks was told
off in thousandths of second by
tuning-fork adjustment. In similar
manner the psychologist can ascertain
the time occupied by any given effort
throughout the whole domain of men
tai life. The operation Of the pendu-
lum timer is not confined to sound,
and a very elaborate series of tests is
being made by Prof. Scripture for the
purpose of determining many hitherto
unknown phenomena connected with
sight, touch, etc. The pendulum timer
was made under the supervision OF
Prof. Scripture for Prof. G. b. Bliss,
who proposes to publish the results OF
large number of measurements on
mental time he is now taking.

young children. Mrs. Notsen is the
Omaha school teacher whose mystic
rious disappearance with her children
last fall created such a sensation in
Omaha. Disappointment in politics
she alleged as a reason for committing
suicide. She left a letter saying she
would kill herself and children be-
cause she had not been appointed to a
position in the office of the state SUI
perintendent of public instruction.
Search of the river at the time re-
