San Francisco, Cal, Sept. 8.
'-The trial OF Durrant really

were excluded from the room
during the address. Although

they would be willing to have
Blanche Lamont and Minnie

when the attorney referred to
the finding of Minnie Williams
body the defendants counsel
objected TO the introduction Of
anything relating to the Will

a NEW-lDEA
IN THE CLUB LINE.

IN THE CLUB LINE.
The paris Day by Day"
column says that in a little
village in the Department OF
the Nord there exists a curious
brotherhood. 1t is called the
"Broken Plate Club" This is
its history: A few years ago
some merchants and manufact
-urers were dining together
when a plate rolled from the
table, and, falling into the fire
place, broke. AS it happened,
the number of the fragments
exactly correspondent with that
of the guests. he coincidence
was regarded as a good augnry,
and then and there a society
was formed which imposed up
on its members the bonds of
brotherhood. Each man as he
left carried away with him his
fragment of the plate. Accord
ing to the rules no new mem
Der was to be introduced, and
at the death of each the bit of
porcelain which was in the pos
session of the deceased is restor-
ed to the president, who CLUES
the fragments together. The
last surviving member of the
club is charged with the duty
of cementing his piece to the
rest, and when the plate has
thus been reformed, it is to be
buried.-London Telegraph.

Italian Lemonade.-To make
a gallon of this delicious drink
two dozen lemons should be
pared very thinly, then squeez
ed, the juice be poured on the
peels and allowed to remain
on them twelve hours. Two
pounds of leaf sugar, and a
quart of boiling water should
then be added and subsequen
fly a.quart Ct boiling milk. The
whole should then be clarified
through a jelly bag, and is
then ready for use. This be-
verage is almost equal 10
liqueur in richness, and is
delicious for an evening drink.

1t Ought to Prosper.

With it's business affairs practically in the
hands of some of Washfngton's highly sue
cessful business men, the Columbia Athletic
Club should prosper as its originators in
tended 1t to- Local interest in all manner
of clean athletic sport IS greater than at
any time during recent years. and there is
no likelihood of immediate subsistence OF
that commendable spirit. The members of
the club should now take long pull,
strong pull. and pull all together. and the
result will be seen next season in the reap
pearance of Washington men in athletic
sports such as have for some time past
been almost entirely neglected. Whatever
the c. A. C. does to broaden its foundations
and render its structure more secure will
undoubtedly be appreciated by Washing
tonians generally and be assisted by great
many local residents who would be sorry to
see this city without such club as the
c. A. C. promised to be and can be.

Just why Mrs. Culberson, wife of the
governor of Texas, should project herself
into the prize-ring and try to interfere with
the course of her spouse in his determine
ton TO prevent the exhibition of fisticuffs
proposed at Danas. is beyond comprehen-
sion. 1t is not altogether natural func-
tion of woman to champion the cause of
brutality. Prize-fghting does not represent
any element of humanity that is dear to
the feminine heart. If these men who are
trying to find place in which to punch
the conceit out of each other and the dol
lars out of the sporting fraternity stood
for any good principle and were about to
fight for Il righteous cause, it might be
reasonable to expect well-reared women
to become hysterical in their behalf. But
for the wife of a high official who has
undertaken TO do what he conceives to be
his duty to try to influence his judgment
by peevish interviews in the papers is an
altogether unexpected development. Mrs
Culberson may be a type of the new
woman, ard she may be only develop
ment of the ultra-sympathetic. 1t Is hardly
probable that she will have any deterrent
influence upon her husband, as he has
already taken irrevocable steps toward the
enactment of a new law against prize
fighting that he hopes, will prevent the
mill from taking place in Texas.

The Finest Library Building.

Now that the fence around the new Con-
gressionaI Library building is down the
publi; will have chance to appreciate how
great an addition to the architecture of
Washington this beautiful structure really
is. The fence has concealed the finer out
lines of the lower part of the new home for
the thousands of books at present stored
away in the Capitol, although the graceful
roof has for some months been in plain
view. This magnificent structure will be
the finest and most complete library build
ing in the world when fully completed, ard
it should soon be followed by correspond
ing edifice north Of East Capitol street for
the accommodation of the Supreme Court
and other departments Of the judicial
branch CT the Government. A long stride
forward has been taken in the planning and
construction of the library ediice; such as
should be followed in all additions to Wash
ington's public buildings. 1t is poor econ
omy that seeks to save in the building of
structures that are destined to stand for
centuries.

The Eigbt-HOur LAW Intact,

Friends of the eight-hour law can hardly
be otherwise than encouraged by the man
ner in which Judge Miller spoke of that
statute yesterday in his decision in the
McNaugh case. and while the charge
against McVaugh fell to the ground it was
not because there was weakness of the law
but rather because the defendant. proved
most conclusively that an extraordinary
emergency existed and had to be met with
out regard whatever for the limitations es-
tablished by legislative provision. The
judge declared the law to be ample, and
made it evident that so far as he was con-
cerEed it could not be violated with i'm
punity. This is a warning to be needed
by all employers who come within the
purview of the statute and who are in
clined toward selfish diobedience.

Home rule principles are generally ap-
plauded. but there seems to be difference
of opinion in Virginia as to whether they
ought to be applied to campaign orators.
Senator Martin is on record as favoring
Virginia boycott Of all democratic speakers
who are not Virginians. That plan may
work all right in states where there is great
wealth of brainy and Evolutionary excel
lence, but the people Of states where these
things are not would be compelled to hor-
rible suffering. But for the fact that at
tendance at political meetings is voluntary,
the aid of the courts could undoubtedly be
invoked to lender such misery impossible
on the ground that the punishment could be
fairly regarded as "cruel and unusual"

superiority of the Evening Paper.


Wash. Cor. Phila. Eve. Star.
A prominent Philadelphia journalist said
recently, in conversation with number
of CORES onderts of Newspaper Row, that
he was OF the opinion, after careful exam
iration, that the combined circulation of the
evening newspapers of Philadelphia was
equal, If not greater, tran that OF the COM
bined morning press Of the same city. He
meant of course. the bona fide alton;
that Is, the number of papers sold. paid for
and read not merely the number run
through the press and sent to news agents,
but returned unsold and not read. The
statement was called forth by remark
concerning the imnerse business patronage
of The Evening Star newspaper of Washing
ten. This paper is now in the forty-third
wear of it's existence, and for at least thirty
five years of that time it has had the bulge
on the other l ewSpapers OF the city IN cir
culation and business.
OF its contemporaries, the Washington
Post is a first-class newspaper in every re-
spect and is classed by the newspaper men
of the country with the New York Sun and
the ST. Louis G,obe-Democrat, as present.
irg the best written editorial page of the
press of the nation. Everybody in town
reads the Post, but at the same time every
body reads The Star, and the last-named
outstrips the other in the matter of adver-
Using patronage. The question arises
These two newspapers being equal, in that
they are progressive and up-to-date jour-
nails of the tirst-class. why is 1t that the one
rival in the matter of securing greater
bl siness patronage?
My answer would be that the newspapers
printed in the evening are thoroughly read,
while those published in the morning are
only indifferently so. The great majority
Of the people of every community have to
start in to work early in the morning of each
day of the week excepting Sunday. They
remain in bed until the last moment, eat
their breakfast hurried1y, and the only time
left them to read is while being whirled to
their places of business by the trolley cars.
1t is absolutely against the rules for the
clerks in the government departments in
Washington to read newspapers during
office hours These last from . am. until
pm. When they leave their desks they
find at least six hours ahead of them before
going to bed with nothing to do but read
their evening newspapers and eat their sup
pers.
it Is with the women. The latter have little
Their household duties command their i'm
mediate attention.
1t Is because of the fact that the morn
ing newspaper editor knows that at least
nine-tenthS of the persons who buy his jour-
nal have no time to give 1t more than a
casual perusal that he gives what is called
1.-The Summary Of the Days News" No
one ever saw such summary published in
an evening paper. The frequency Of the
cartoon. and the other illustrations of cur
rent events in the morning papers Is brought
about by the knowledge the editor has of
the want of time the reader has to peruse
the news without his having to read the de-
tails.

American Profits for FOreiSners,

DIR. Conan Doyle may have thrown a good
deal Of light on an interesting question
when he said recently in London that the
Englishman coming to America to lecture
should not expect to do more than cover
tha expenses of a most enjoyable and in
other ways profitable outing. Great gains
may be made in some American fields, such
as the drama and the lighter forms of
rusical entertainment, but the general ex-
perience Of visiting genius IS that Ameri-
cans do not pay heavily to hear the purely
literary man or woman lecture or read II,
AS DR.. Doyle says, ons can cover expenses,
