 Witness

New Orleans, La., Aug. 26.-A big crowd assembled at the criminal court this morning before the opening hour in anticipation of sensational developments.

Caufield, ex- city poodle councilmen, convicted of offering to receive a brbe. were to be either granted a new trial or to have sen tence imposed upon them, and Charles Barnes was to be placed on trial for murder.
 Maurice Hart was arraigned by Judge Noise on two charges of wilful perjury and one of subornatfon of perjury. His counsel made a general demurrer on each of the indictments. He was discharged on his bond until further notified. No time was set for argument on the de- murrer
 Haley and Caufield were then brought before the judge. He had two motions to dispose of in their caSe--a motion for new trial and a motion in arrest of judgment. The judge announced that he had decided to refuse both motions, and proceeded to sentence the convicted councilmen.
 s How long have you been confined in the parish prison?" Judge Noise asked. , About two months and half" Haley replied

Pure EHoG,


 Butterine is much abused product. As a matter of fact it is pure, sweet, wholesome, and infinitely preferable to ordinary country butter. A special correspondent of this paper recently visited the factory owned and operated by the Armour Packing Co.,, of Kansas City, manufacturers of the widely ad- vertised Silver Churn Butterine. A five story building is perfectly fitted for the scientific preparation of this food product. Everything is spotlessly clean; all appliances are the latest and most improved, and every precaution is taken to secure the production of ( an absolutely pure and wholesome food. All processes are under the direction of a foreign chemist who has made the skilIful combination of pure sweet fats the study of his life.
 Prof. Charles Chandler, of New York City, says: '"The product is palatable and wholesome and 1 regard it as a most valuable article of food"
 Prof. J. s. W. Arnold, Medical De- partment, University of New York, says: "A blessing for the poor, and in every way perfectly pure, wholesome and palatable article of food"

 Late Convention,

''S "SAu'"o 'tOi LuiopC -DUtSn TdVOT a
 Late Convention.
 Philadelphia, Aug. 26.-Chairman w. F. Harity of the democratic national com mittee reached his office in this city this evening from his European trip.
 On the subject of politics the chairman said he had not been long enough to get posted yet. The ranks of the republicans appear to be going on the supposition, he said, that the republican majority is so large that they can fight all they want to. He gave close attention to a his tory of the Quay struggle, but made no comments.
 On the subject of national politics Mir. Harity said there was very little to say. He did not think either of the national committees would meet before Decem- ber Congress meets in that month, and with the meeting of congress there is generally gathering of the politicians from all over the country at Washington To call a meeting of the committees be- fore that time, he said, would put many of the members to unnecessary incon- venience. In speaking of an early or late national convention he thought a late convention would naturally mean about September which would leave too short a time for thorough campaign
