THE FRISCO MURDERS.
ATTEMPT AT BRIBERY OF AN I'M
PORTANT WITNESS ALLEGED.
A Pawnbroker offered Half a
Thousand to Fail to Identify
Defendant Durrant.

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 21.-The
prosecution in the Durrant case
announced yesterday that it's wit
nesses will be through with the
direct examination next Wednes-
day. The crowd at the trial today
exceeded that in size of any pre-
vious day since the case was
opened.
George King, the organist, was
recalled for futher cross-eXamina-
ton. After a few unimportant
questions from the opposing at
tOrneys King was excused, to the
surprise of all, it having been eX-
pected that the prosecution would
interrogate him closely upon the
alleged variations in his state
. ments concerning Durrant, made
at different times,
Frank G.. S;dewann, formerly
janitor at the church, testified that
on April 8, the day Blanche LAM
ont disappeared, the gas fixtures
were in perfect order. During the
last few days of March the gas
company had finished some work
in the church and gas escaped at no
place thereafter. Witness said
that in the latter part of March
Durrant and King had put in a
new lock on one of the doors to
which they only had keys. They
had stated their object was to keep
out of the library persons who had
no business there. The eX-janitor
testified that several times he had
found doors in the church I'M
locked. He had attached no inn
portance to their being unlocked.
Adolph Oppenheim, pawn
broker, testified that ON the fourth
and tenth of April Durrant came
to his store and offered for sale a
ring with little chip diamond.
The witness selected ring from
those identified as belonging to
Blanche Lamont and said that it
was the ring offered him by Dur
raut. He had declined to pur-
chase it and Durrant had taken it
away with him.
The witness stated that since
testifying at the preliminary ex-
animation he had received two let
tiers offering him brides to modify
his testimony. One of the letters
offered $500 on condition that he
stated on the stand that he could
not positively identify Durrant.
He was not to see any one in con-
nection with the bride until after
he had given his testimony, when
the money would be paid to him.
The second letter was of similar
character. The witness said he had
turned both letters over to the po-
lice.
Oppenheim was still on the
stand, being questioned about the
alleged bribery, when the court
adjourned until Monday.

SEVENTEENTH YEAR.
NATURE.

I muse on yonder barren autumn field,
Where west winds blow, birds sing,
Rains fall, comes June, comes spring,
Its secret many year hath not revealed.
There many a dewy dawn hath writ in
And white, and summers feet
Left many an imprint sweet,
Yet something longed for hovers still un-
said.
Ten thousand sunsets have not wakened
to speech
The western slopes, nor nights
Pale flock of stars the heights;
The seas kiss wins no answer from the
beach.
Dead, silent, nature stands before our
eyes.
We question her in vain,
And bootless strive to gain
Her confidence; she vouchsafes no replies.
And yet, oftimes / think she yearns to
bless
And comfort man with sheaves,
To please him with her leaves
The widest blast hath tones of tender
ness.
And there are voices on the sea in storm
Not of the waters strife;
Faint tones, as though some life
Amid the tumult struggled to take form.
There is an undertone in everything
That comforts and uplifts,
A light that never shifts
Shines out of touch on the horizon ring.
1 know, behind yon mountains gloomy
sides,
There something waits for me
That / may never see
Some love-illumed face, some stretched
hand hides.
Some spirit, something earth would half
disclose,
Half hide, invites the soul
Unto some hidden goal,
Which may be death, or larger life-who
knows?

=" THRIFT"

His mother had insisted upon calling
him Thrift. No one knew why she had
given him the quaint name Then
when he was barely years old she
died. She left him with great wealth
of silent love, but that like his name,
could not help him much-that is, not
as far as one could judge things The
neighborS said it was cough that had
settled" that carried her off. Probably
the cough had something to do with it,
but Il Starved-out life of lack of affec-
tion and hard work had a good deal
more.
The neighbors also thought that Mrs.
Watson never had much spirit 1t
would seem as if they almost blamed
her for dying and leaving 4 husband
with a child barely years old. They
had misgivings about the boy, and they
were right. Thrift was deaf and dumb.
His mother had struggled against the
knowledge as long as she could. When
she realized it she kept the knowledge
to herself with a fierce love. But the
cough came and settled all the prob
lens of life for her.
Thrift's father took her death as
alphabetically as he had taken all her
life. Only Thrift seemed to realize that
fate was still against him. He lay
creeping for hours alone in the little cot
tage, strapped into his cot. The neigh
borS were kind to him. They took him
in turn to their cottages but the ele-
ment of teasing children and rough
h 70
women meant we'll, but it was a hard
winter and money and tempers were
short Besides, Thrift'S baby nature
was hard to understand.
Brightness came into his life one day
1t came in the guise of little dress
maker, Jean Lawrence. She brought
him black frock. She had been busy,
so she had put off the making till she
had time. No one else had thought of
the little mark of respect. 1t was a
tribute to custom, but it was the one
tribute of Mrs. Watson's life.
''Puir little lambr' said Jean Law
renee as she came in. Her eyes filed
with quite unexpected tears as she saw
the lonely baby.
Thrift could not hear her, but some
thing sympathetic touched his under
standing, for he held out his hands
''Puir little thing" said Jean Lawrence
again, and she caught him up and COW
cred him with kisses. Then she put
Thrift back in his cot, and united the
little black frock. She turned to go
for she was in hurry.
Thrift's mood changed. His blue eyes
grew dark in the intensity of his pas
sion. He kicked and screamed. His
fluffy fair hair was ruff1ed; ne looked
the picture of a little demon
"Presairve u.s. said the little dress
maker. 1t was the first time any exag-
geration of feeling had ever come into
her life. She was half fascinated and
half terrified by this unexpected burst

Contented.

The French-Canadian peasant is that
rareSt thing on earth, a contented man.
He cares nothing for the march of civil
ization and the rapid accumulation of
fortune. Has he not decent farm,
good wife, numerous children, and a
cure to help him on his road to heaven?
Is it not possible also to put by little
money each year toward his old age
enough 10 procure for him and his fam
lily decent burial and to pay for mass
es in the sad by-and-by? What more
can a man want? Jacques Bonhomme
has a supreme belief in himself and his
belongings, in his country and its con-
stitution. A poor habitant (the story
goes) went to Quebec and was taken
by a friendly priest to see the sights of
the city. In a convent church he saw
a large painting of David and Goliath.
Jacques fixed his gaze admiringly on
Goliath. "Ah,' said he, what a fine
manr' "Yes," said the priest, ''it is a
fine man." Magnificent said Jac-
ques, then paused. II suppose he was
a French Canadian" And the priest,
not caring to disappoint the patriot,
confirmed the supposition.

FAITH.

The greater part Of human life is de-
pendent upon faith. Without faith in
the testimony of others, in the records
OF the pass, life would be one continual
chaos of doubts and uncertainties. It
is the foundation Of human character
ard the one safe, moral guide of hu--
man conduct. 1t begins with conscious
ness and extends to the life beyond
the grave. II is the cord that links
men and families together and the sheet
anchor which holds them in amity snd
love. Paul says, Faith is the sub
stance of things hoped for, the evidence
Of things not SEEN" Though utterly
intangible 1t is stronger in the minds of
men than that which is apparent to the
touch or the sight; for while the senses
may deceive US God never does. Faith
has been implanted in the mind as an
intuitive faculty, and upon its instinc-
tive promptings rest the conclusions Of
all our reasoning and deductions
Webster says, "Fsith is the assent of
the. mind to the truth of what is declared
by another, resting solely and implicitly
on his authority and veracity." Scrip
turslly speaking 1t is belief in the
truthfulness and inspiration OF the
Bible, with & practical love for the per-
son and work of Christ 1t is exempli-
fed in the trust ana confidence of the
child for it's parents, and its brightest
examples are afforded in the lives and
nf "a % kha 10
tiau church. With the loss of faith in our
| fellow-men comes skep.icism and un-
belief that robs life OF it's pleasures ard
| renders hope and charity strangers to
the mind. II such feeling were uni
versally prevalent and its promptings
practically followed, it would under
mine with suspicion the ssnctity of the
home and end in the destruction
of society and the state.
Although it cannot be denied that dis
honesty in business, deceit in personal
intercourse and hypocrisy in religion do
much to weaken mems faith In each
| other, 1t must, nevertheless, be ad-
mitted that in the grand aggregate Of
humanity these are exceptions and not
the rule. The happy mean of safety in
all the relations Of life is not to believe
| i'll OF our neighbors until their miscon-
duct has been proven, and always to
accept, without doub. or long debating,
the Divine teachings handed down from
Heaven, whose truths are as we'll at
| tested, as far IS human evidence goes,
as any other recorded events, while
! the very words themselves show un-
mistakably that they have come forth
from God. With full fsith in these
words, the blessed promises OF the
Bible become as strong realities as
existence itself, giving to the souls
hitherto harnssed by doubts and fears,
a peace that passeth understanding,
and which can be known only to those
who love and fear the Lord.
