THE AFTERNOON SESSION.
A Diagram of Oppenheim's Pawn
shop and More Students Who Did
Not Answer for Durrant.

When the afternoon session opened Mr.
Deuprey asked for the privilege of break
ing in on the students line of testimony
by the introduction of witness to identity
diagram of Oppenheim's pawnshop.
Accordingly Civil Engineer Mccullough
was recalled and examined briefly by Mr.
Dickinson.
Witness exhibited his diagram, drawn
from measurements taken by him in OPP
penheim's shop, and it was admitted in
evidence as an exhibit of the defense
Witness said that Oppenbeim showed
him the location of the chair, the counter,
the table and other movable things. The
distance from the chair occupied by Open
helm when Durrant entered his store to
the center of the sidewalk in front was 10
feet. The width of the door was feet 9
inches, the depth of the windows feet 6
inches, the witness testified. He described
the appointments of the store in detail
Mr.. Peixotto asked few questions in
cross-examination and reserved the right
to cali upon oppenheim to say whether
the diagram is correct.
r. w. Murphy Jr., another student, was
called. He was absent from DR.. Cheney's

THE NINETEENTH DAY.
The Defense Scoring a Point by
Showing That No One
Answered for Durrant

There is no peTceptible falling off in the
attendance at the Durrant trial, though
the corridors leading to the courtroom are
now kept passably clear. The matinee
sessions continue to be more largely
patronized by the fair sex, but seats
within the courtroom are at premium at
both the morning and afternoon sessions
Ten times the mum Der of persons that can
possibly be accommodated regularly pre-
sent themselves for admission, and often
those who come armed with passes from
some officer of the court are shut out be-
cause there is not even available standing
room within.
Durrant's is face that grows on one,
and those who have seen him every day
for the past tive months or more in court
do not now consider him the same mild
hammered and innocent-looking young
man that he appeared to them at first
sight. His manner is as impassive as
ever, though he seems trife more ner-
vous and is certainly little paler than
when the trial began. Yesterday his
bosom friend, Arthur Davis, a civil en-
gineer, came into court ana took seat
beside the prisoner. The newcomer, I'M
less familiar with the pictures of Durrant,
PENDANT and which the friend.
When court convened in the morning
Mr.. Deuprey opened a line of testimony
that consumed the remainder of the day
and made it most uninteresting for the
mere spectators.
The seventy-four members of the senior
class of the Cooper Medical College, as
constituted in April last, all of them class
mates ef Durrant, are to be called to the
witness stand and made to answer this
question::
"When the roll was called at the conclu-
sion of DR.. Cheney's lecture on the after
noon of April 8. did you answer for Dur
rant?"
Yesterday fifty-eight of the students an
swered~ this question in the negative.
Then Mr.. Deuprey asked all of them
except the few that were absent from the
lecture-whether they remembered the
names of any other students present.
With one or two exceptions they answered
this in the negative.
Mr.. Barnes questioned all of them con-
corning the notes they took of the lecture,
and those who had their notebooks with
them were requested to leave at least that
portion containing the memoranda of Dr.
Cheney's lecture with the clerk of the
court while the Others were instructed to
bring their notes to court ct the following
session.
Evidently the defense scores a point by
proving that no one answered for Durrant
at the rollcall. but this does not worry the
prosecution in the least, for Mr.. Barnes
says he expects to prove that Durrant Dor
rowed the notes. of that lecture from other
students in order to make a showing of
having been there to take notes for him
self.
Durrant's testimony as outlined by Mr..
Deupreywili be that he was present at the
lecture and took the notes for himself.
During the afternoon the prevailing line
of -testimony was interrupted long enough
to permit Standardization and introduce
ton as an exhibit of the defense diagram
of the interior OF Pawnbroker Oppenheim' 3
shop.
The trial goes-on this morning.

few could name any of the other fifty or sixty
students that were present
Upon cross-examination Mr.. Barnes re-
quested all the students who had notes of the
lecture to bring them into court at the follow.

The proper pages were marked, cut out,
and left with the clerk.

answers as Mr.. Powers was profuse. After

STOCKTON, CAL, Oct. 2.-Much annoy

man named Lewis in this city by the fact
that several pictures have been published
drawing attention to his personal resem-

were printed very little attention was paid
to his coming and going, but since that
time whenever he appears at the railroad

crowds OF sightseers follow him. They all

ADULT APOPlExY.
Excessive Mental Work, Says Medical
Expcrt, Does Not Induce This Disease. :

Excessive Mental Work. Says Medical
Expert, Does Not Induce This Disease.
"Three- fourths of all adult apoplexy oc-
ours between the ages Of 30 and go, being
pretty evenly distributed between the
fourth, fifth and sixth decades" says DIR.
c. l.. Dana in medical journal. 'Exces-
sive mental work. he declares, "does not
lead to apoplcxy and brain workers do
not die of this disease unless they are in
temperate in eating, drinking and perhaps
in smoking, though on this latter point l
feel doubtful. The conditions of modern
civilization undoubtedly are tending to in
crease the number of cases of apoplexy,
particularly those due to rupture of blood
vessels. Tho fact that under better san
itary conditions more persons reach the
apoplectic age is one cause of this. The
gradual lessening of the number of occult
infectious fcvcrs and tho consequent less
ening of mortality from such diseases in
crease the proportionate number of deaths
duo to diseases of the artcrial system. In
fact, tho stress of modern civilization
shows more, SO far as organic disease is
concerned, upon tho arteries than upon tho
nervous system.
"Thc increased opportunities for indul-
gencc in luxurious modes of living and in
excessive eating and drinking tend to i'm
pair tho integrity of the coats of the ar
tcrics and TO promote conditions of artcrial
fibrosis.
Gas to the exciting cause of tho attacks
Of apoplexy some misapprehcnsion appar-
entity prevails. We all know that many
fatal eases occur in persons who have been
on a drunken spree, and that of all cxcit-
ing causes of fatal strokes alcohol is the
most potent. On the other hand, in my
experience very few attacks take place, as
is currently supposed, during some especial
mental or bodily strain. About one-fourth
of those stricken with apoplexy die from
the attack

gagemcnt. The play was Impulse" and
the strong climax at the end of the third
act was reached. 1t is at that point in the
play that the villain is attempting to CO.
cree the heroine, and these two characters,
together with the heroines husband and
Mrs Bcrcsford played by Mrs Kendall,
have the stage to themselves. The curtain
is supposed to go down upon Marion Lea,
as the wife, sobbing us though her heart
would break. There was u new drop cur
tain, however, and it stuck" three times.
Meanwhile Miss Lea was so shaken with
grief that she was rapidly verging toward
real hys;eria. Mrs. Kendall bowed the
villain out of the house. smiled pleasantly
upon Mr.. Kcndal--the suspicious husband
and was gently leading the grief stricken
wife away, presumably into her boudoir,
when the curtain finally rolled to the stage.

VIII Horgan and RYAN Come?

When the London Athletic club sent the
names of ID athletes to the New York Attn
letic club as the team to visit this country
and left two blanks, it was diplomatic in
decd, says The Sun. "Why, if they can
get Denis Hogan, the Irish shot putter,
and J. NJ. Ryan, the high jumper, they
will have something up their sleeves for
us, )" said n. Y. A. G. man. "This meet
ing Is going to be fight from beginning
to end. Ryan as a high jumper has dono
9 feet 81 inches, and Horgan holds tho
European record at shot putting with 46
feet IA inches, and on the day he made
that record he put the shot AZ feet 2 inches
on foul. Now our George Gray's record
Is AZ feet, and it is reasonable to say that
George has seen his best days, while young
Morgan is comparatively new at the game.
Horgan Is Cork man, and l think that
he will be member of the London Ath'
letic club team, with Ryan also. Unless
we get Sweeney / do not see that we could
stand out against the high jumper, who
would be hard man for even Sweeney to
beat" The English team will sail from

Delicate Children.

Mothers of puny and delicate babies
need not despair. An exchange cnumcr-
atcs some interesting instances of frail
children who became not only vigorous
but famous men. The excessively weak
condition of Noltaire prevented his being
baptized for several months after he was
born. Perhaps he protested at that early
age! Newton was SO small and frail at his
birth that his life was dcspaircd of. He
lived, however, like Noltairc, to the age of
50. Jean Jacques Rousseau says, Il came
into the world sick and infirm." Up to
the age of 8 the life of De Thou, the his
torian-born 1553-hung by n slender
thread. Fontencile, whose mental facul
ties remained unimpared to the end Of
his long life--he died within month of
being ccntenarian-was so delicate in
his infancy that he was not allowed to be
taken out into the open air. Walter Scott
was an invalid before the age of 2. His
right leg being paralyzcd, the poor little
fellow had to support himself on a crutch.
After being sent into the hill country with
his father he came back strong and active.
And Victor Hugo has told us in his "Au-
tunn Leaves" how delicate he was from
his birth and what anxious solicitude

Intoxicating Property of New Tea.

Although Cowper speaks of "the cups
that cheer, but not inebriatc," there Is
evidence of the intoxicating power of tea
The Baltimore American says that in
China tea is rarely used till it is year old
because of the peculiar Intoxicating prop
erty which new tea possesses. Three or
four grains of theme are contained in less
than half an ounce Of good tea and may be
taken in day by most full grown persons
without unpleasant effects. But if twice
this quantity, or eight grains day, be
taken the pulse becomes more frequent,
the heart beats more strongly, and trem-
bling comes on. At the same time the
imagination is excited, and after awhile
the thoughts wander, visions begin to be
seen, and peculiar state of intoxication
comes on. All these symptoms are fol-
lowed by and pass off in u deep sleep.
Whether the tannin in tea contributes in
any degree to its exhilarating or narcotic
action is not known.
