account book, the stolen gold and other
peices of property which had been intro
duced in evidence. The deliberation in
the jury room lasted three hours. From
the outset the majority were for con-
victiop, but few OF the
jurors were at first inclined in
Nelson's favor. During the period of de-
Liberation rhe audience in the court room
waited patiently, and occasionally tired
hanger-on would indulge in a nap until
reminded whore he was by the vigilant
deputies. Nelson during all this time was
decidedly nervous, and after devouring
the contents OF the printed court
calendar walked about the corridors.
Time passed on, and the jury did not re-
turn, the defendants friends and adher-
ents began to cherish hopes OF disagree
ment, but these visions were promptly
dispelled when the jury at last
filed into the court room and
the foreman announced verdict of guilty.
1t is not probable that Nelson will be
sentenced Immediately, as his case will be
taken to the appellate division
on exceptions. In the meantime
he can occupy his seat in the
Legislature, unless the House takes
official cognizance of his conviction, an
action which is improbable. The maxi
mum punishment for receiving stolen
gooas, which is identical with that of
larceny, is five years imprisonment or a
fine OF $1,000.

THE RUMOR DENIED.
Superintendent Rogers Says There Is
to BE No 10 Per Cent Reduction.

rumor on the street to the effect that
there is to be 10 per cent. reduction IN
wages at the American Screw Company Is
emphatlcally denied by Superintendent
Charles ID. Rogers.
When interviewed this afternoon he
said that no such reduction had
ever been contemplated by the manage
ment and the unfounded rumor
is only the result of an idle story started
by disgruntled employee and passed
around and exaggerated in the passing.
For over year it has been the custom
to pay men and green hands 10 per cent.
less of the scale than is allowed for old
and experienced workmen. But this is
nothing new and in no way effects the
the present employees.
Mr.. Rogers further stated that early in
March full time of 10 hours day would
be resumed and also that there were now
employed nearly a hundred more than
We're necessary.

OUGHT TO SHOW WOMEN
What Estimation Men OF the Country
Hold Their Opinions.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2S. - Complaints
against the present system OF divorce laws
was the burden of today's session of the
National Council of Women. The officis
report of the committee on divorce
reform, read by Chairman Battle OF
Massachusetts,, embodied responses from
number OF State Governors who were
asked 10 call the attention Of the Legis-
lature to the status of the divorce laws.
Only two, Greenhalge of Massac husetts,
and Brow of Rhode Island, promised TO
do all in their power to carry out the
request. The Governor OF South Caro-
lima wrote that that state had no divorce
laws and its people were better satisfied
than their neig hbors whose states have
divorce laws. The report said that the
fact that % states have appointed bodies
of men TO tinker with divorce
laws, without appointing any woman's,
ought to show women what estimation
the men of the United States hold their
opinlons.

A Common Cause of Sickness.
IN WARM WEATHERNOTHING so
DANGEROUS AS DECAYED
FOODS.

Every one knows or ought to know that
decayed foods are poisonous. Boards Of
Health seek to prevent their sale.
We now have in mind the results which
follow the decay ana decomposition of
foods after they have been eaten, for unless
digestion occurs within reasonable time
after our meals, decomposition sets in.
If dyspeptics win stop and consider for
moment some of the symptoms of their
trouble, such AZ disagreeable breath, eruc-
tations of gas or bad taste in the mouth,
they will understand that they all must
come from decaying foods that ought
properly to have been absorbed into the
system.
Spots before the eyes, dizziness, sleep
lessness, dyspeptic headaches are but few
of the effects following the absorption into
the blood of pOisOns developed from de-
composing and undigested food that lies in
the stomach.
1t was a recognition of this important fact
that caused the Mount Lebanon Shakers to
devote so much of their time to the pre-
paratiOn of q remedy for dyspepsia, and
nothing is more efficient than the Digestive
Cordial which they have recently placed on
the market.
Its action Is so prompt that relief fro
quently follows the very first dose. 1t re-
stores the appetite and increases the weight
Plumpness and strength take the place of
which points ont the dyspeptics in every
community. The local druggists are now
giving away interesting descriptive
pamphlets.
Try a twenty-five cent bottle Of Digestive
Cordial and see what it Will DO Tor you.

A PLEASING PICTURE OF PRO-
GRESS.

The recent trade issue of the New
Orleans Times Democrat presents a
showing of progress in the South that is
most gratifying. 1t has reports from
all the States, contrasting the condition
in 1880 with the condition in 1895, and
the people who have wrought out the
increased wealth will themselves be
astOunded at what they have done
The figures given show that in 1880
the capital invested in manufacturing in
the South aggregated $t79, $780, $40 In
1895 it is 1863, 467, 500, The number of
persons employed in 1880 was 215, Ais,
whereas the number now is SOS, 450.
The wages paid have increased from $62, =
148, 872 to $9O4, 675, 500. The number
of establishments increased from a.
sos to 50, 176.
The amount of cultivated land has in
creased in about the same proportion as
the volume and value of the crops. Fiji
teen years ago there were "a, $40, las
acres of land under the pillow, while in
1895 there are 80, 462, 672 cultivated
acres, or an increase of 81, 1888, 527 acres
in decade and half. The total value
of all farm products was estimated at
$611, 500, 145 in 1880, while this year it
is placed at $976, 463, 500, an increase of
a little more than one half, or nearly the
same as the increase in the amount of
cultivated land. One Of the most en-
couraging exhibits is the comparison of
the number Of farms in 1880 and 1895.
In the first year there were 1926, 480,
while in the second year there are 2, 402,
672. The old plantations are disappear
ing never to return. Cut up into small
farms they are worked to better adyan-
tage and contribute more largely to the
general prosperity.
The coal mines and forests of the
South are two of the great sources of
wealth, present and prospective. 1t is
estimated that there are 375, 185, $40
acres of woodland in the United States
to day and that 1877, 146, $50 acres, or
more than half, are in the South a guam
tity sufficient to supply the whole
country for many years. OF coal, nine
Southern States produced in 1894 about
"a, 900, 900 tons, of which almost exactly
half came from the mines of West Vir-
ginia. In 1880, only 1858, 736 tons Of
coal were mined in the whole South.
No statistics as to the number Of tons Of
iron ore are given, but the increase
must have been great, as the production
OF pig iron has grown from so, 525 tons
in 1888 to 1862, 825 tons in 1884, ard it
was ali produced from ore mined at
home.

CUBA's STRUGGLE FOR Lib
ERTY,


The New York World says that in
spite Of the earnest protests to the con
trary, there are no doubt that great
quantities Of ammunition, arms and the
sinews Of war have been sent to Cuba
from that city.
It a thousand pities that the patrio-
tic people Of this country cannotlawfully
give to Cuba enough aid to procure in
dependence for the little island. Public
sentiment is overwhelmingly in favor Of
helping Cuba, and nothing but respect
for the law prevents America from
giving the same active help to Cuba that
France gave to the Colonies more than
one hundred years ago. The repression
of this inclination to help q struggling
people to free themselves from a
government that means, slavery, out of
respect to law, is the best evidence of the
law-abiding spirit of the American PEG
pie that has been furnished for decade
Why should not Congress recognize
the bclligerency of the Cubans Such
action would insure Cuban independence.
We hope the Cubans can establish seat
Of government and hold it till Congress
meets. Then their belligereney can be
recognized, or they can win their indie.
