Then shouts of Throw him out"

the meeting into disorder. Whites voice
could be heard above the din, shouting,

play" Admirers of the ex-lieutenant
crowded around him, while his opponents
stood in threatening attitudes. When quiet
was finally restored he denounced the as
semblage, pronouncing it a gathering of
socialists, and not representative of the
workingmen of San Francisco.
The committee on legislation re-
ported having chosen H w. Hutton as
the representative of the unemployed to
go to Sacramento and lobby for the passage
of the bill presented by Ewing in their be-
half.
Chairman Mcdonald of the committee
appointed to call on the Mayor reported
progress and said he did not deem it adj
visable to attend the meeting of the COM
mittee of fifteen called for this afternoon
in the Mayors Office, inasmuch as they
had not been invited.
Some of the men wanted a committee
appointed to look for work. The chair
ruled that as there was already a commit
tee for that purpose he would not appoint
any other as they would be likely to con-
flict. 1t was then proposed that commit
tee of three be appointed for that purpose,
which should remove some of the burden
from the present committee Volunteers
were called for to serve upon the commit
tee, but there were not three men in the
audience who would respond.
To-day every member is supposed to be a
committee of one to bring in some man
who has not signed the roll.
The committee of fifteen which was to
be selected by archbishop Riordan, Mayor
Sutro and F. w. Dohrmann has been in
creased to twentyfour. Their meeting
will be held this afternoon at O'Clock in
the Mayors Office. The following business

THE DURRANT TRIAL.
Trying to Fix the Crime ON the Ac-
cused.

Trying to Fix the Crime ON the Ac-
cused.
In the trial Of DUrrant at San Francisco
yesterday the district attorney proved the
death of Blanche Lamont and establish
ed the fact that the body of the girl in
Emanuel Church was her corpse, and that
the clothing hidden in the rafters of the
church was worn by the girl on the day
she disappeared. The prosecution is now
putting in evidence connecting the prisoner
with the crime.
The witnesses for the people will be call
ed in chronological order. the intention be-
ing to form a chain. the links of which
will be testimony showing the movements
of the murdered girl and the defendant on
the fatal night of April ID.
Mrs. Noble, aunt of Blanche Lamont, on
croas-eMa mination said: After Blanche
disappeared, Durrant came to my house
with DR.. Fogel to consult with me about
her absence. He turned to me and said
Blanche was such a good girl. she be-
lieved every one else was as good as her
self. and in that way she might have been
carried off, &"
Maud Lamont identified the ring with a
chip diamond as hers. She had exchanged
with Blanche, each wearing the others.
This same ring was positively identified at
the preliminary examination by second
hand dealer as one offered him for sale by
Durrant after Blanche disappeared.

Count Nikolas with a courteous smile.
Courses on herr cried the king. Come
my lord, a quick ending to it! One throw,
and I am free man or you are master

"One throw let 1t be. sire. for it grows

air. and they both raised the boxes and
ratified the dice inside them. The king

cheek flushed and his breath came quickly
With bow Count Nikolas raised his hand
and threw. the dice fell and rolled on
the table. The king sank back, and the
count said, with a smile of apology and a
shrug of his shoulders:
Indeed l am ashamed For I cannot be
denied tonight"
For Count Nikolas of Festenburg had
thrown skies, and thereby won from the
king the castle and demesne of Zenda.
And he rose from his chair, and, having
brckled on his sword that had lain on the
table by him. and taken his cap in his
hand, stood looking down on the king with
alicious smile on his face. And he said,
With look that had more mockery than

be surrendered to Count Nikolas of Festen-
burg en- his demand, and he gave the paper
to Nikolas. Then he rose up and held out
his hand, which Nikolas kissed, smiling
covertly, and the king said, with grace
| and dignity:
Cousin, my castle has found a more
worthy master. God give you joy Of it."
And he motioned with his hand to be left
alone. Then when the count had gone he
sat down in his chair again and remained
till it was full day. neither moving nor yet
sleeping. And there he was found by his
gentlemen when they came to dress him.
but none asked him what had passed.
Count Nikolas, now lord of Zenda, did
not so waste time and the matters that
he had spoken Of did not keep him long in
Streslau; but in the early morning he rode
out, the paper which the king had written
In his belt. First he rode with all speed
to his own house of Festenburg. and then
he gathered together all his followers
servants, foresters and armed retainers
and he told them that they We're to ride
| with him to Zenda, for that Zenda was
now his and not the kings. At this they
were greatly astonished. but they ate the
provided, and In the evening they rode
down the hill very merry, and trotted
nearly a hundred strong. through the
town. making great noise; SO that they
disturbed the bishop of Modenstein, who
was lying that night at the inn, in the
course Of a journey from his see to the
capital; but nobody could tell the bishop
why they rode to Zenda, and presently the
bishop, wearied with travelling. went to his
bed.

The New Army Bullet.

The effects of a bullet from the new
army rifle, the Krag-Jorgensen. were Illus
trated for the first time on human being
in this country Tuesday. near Chicago,
when Sentinel Kress at Fort Sheridan shot
and killed q military prisoner who was try
ing to escape. The prisoner. Frank Coffey,
was running at full speed when Kress
fired at a range of about thirty yards.
The nickel-pointed bullet passed through
Coffey's head and then through the trunk
of an oak tree eight inches in diameter.
after which it buried itself In a knoll to a
depth of 1-2 feet
officers at Fort Sheridan say the Krag-
Jorgensen weapon is merciful and cite the
wound made in Coffey's head to prove 1t.
The hole made by the thirty-caliber bullet
with it's thin covering of nickel steel was
scarcely larger than the bullet itself.

open outburst of enmity had yet occurred,
the pair being, on the contrary, often to-
gether and sharing their sports and pas
times with one another.
Now most of these diversions were HARM
less indeed becoming and proper, but
there was one among them full of danger
to man Of hot head and ungoverned i'm
pulse such as King Rudolph was. And this
one was dicing. in which the king took
great delight, and In which Count Nikolas
very ready to encourage him. The
king, who generous and hated to win
from poor men or those who might be play
ing beyond their means in order to give
him pleasure, was delighted to find an OPP
ponent whose purse was as long or longer
than his own, and thus came gradually to
pass many evenings with the boxes in
Nkolas' company. And the more evenings
he passed the deeper he fell into the counts
debt; for the king drank wine, while the
count was content with small beer, and
when the king was losing he doubled his
stakes, whereas the count took in sail IL
the wind seemed adverse. Thus always
and steadily the debt grew, till at last
Rudolph dared not reckon how large 1t had
become. nor did he dare to disclose 1t to his
advisers. For there were great public
burdens already imposed bysreasen Of King
Henrys wars and the citizens of Strelsau
were not in a mood to bear fresh exactions
nor to give their hard earnings for the
payment of the kings gambling debts; in
fine. although they loved the Elphbergs
we'll enough. they loved their money more.
Thus the king had no resource, except IN
his private possessions and these were of
no great value, saving the castle and estate
of Zenda. l..54s.4 3D. .t.-.- assI
At length. when they had sat late one
night and the throws had gone all the
evening against the king and for Nikolas,
the king flung himself back in his chair,
drained his glass, and said impaticntly:
Il am weary of the game! Come, my
lord. let us end it,
Il would not urge you, sire, a moment
beyond what you desire. play but for
your pleasure"
Then my pleasure has been your profit"
said the king with vexed laugh, "for I
believe 1 am stripped Of my last crown.
What is my debt?'
The count. who had the whole sum reck-
oned on his tablets, took them out and
showed the king the amount of the debt.
Il cannot pay IT, said Rudolph. Il
would play you again. to double the debt,
or wipe 1t out, but have nothing of value
enough to stake"
The desire which had been nursed for
long in the counts heart now saw the
moment Of its possible realization. He
leant over the table, and smoothing his
beard with his hand. said gently:
1.-The amount is no more than half the
value of your majesty's castle and de-
mesne of Zenda."
The king started and forced a laugh.
AYE. Zenda spoils tine prospect from
Festenberg. does it?' said he. But I
will not risk Zenda. An Elphberg without

his wife. We have had it since we have
had anything or been anything I should
not seem king without it,
LAS you will. sire. Then the debt
stands?" And he looked full and keenly
into the kings eyes, asking without words.
"Howw will you pay it?" and adding with
out words, paid 1t must be-" And the
king read the unspoken words in the eyes
of Count Nikolas.
The king took up his glass. but finding
1t empty flung 1t angrily on the floor,
where it shivered to fragments at Count
Nikolas' feet and he shifted in his chair
and cursed softly under his breath. Niko-
las sat with the dice box in his hand and
a smile on his lips. for he knew that the
king could not pay, and therefore must
play, and he was in the vein and did not
doubt winning from the king Zenda and
its demesne. Then he would be the great
est lord in the kingdom and hold for his
own kingdom within the kingdom and
the two strongest places in all the land.
And a greater prize might then dangle
in reach of his grasp.

king at last. And he took up the dice box
and ratified 1t.

CHAPTER

In the days of Rudolph the Third there
stood on the hill opposite the Castle of
Zenda and on the other side of the valley
in which the town lies, on the site where
the Chateau of Tarlenheim now situated,
a fine and strong castle belonging to Count
Nikolas of Festenburg He was a noble of
very old and high family and had great
estates, his house being, indeed, second
only to the royal house In rank and repu-
tation. He himself was a young man of
great accomplishments. of a domineering
temper and of much ambition; and he had
gained distinction in the wars that marked
the closing years of the reign of King
Henry the Lion. With King Rudolph he
was not on terms of cordial friendship for
he despised the kings easy manners and
carelessness of dignity. while the king had
no love for a gentleman whose one object
seemed to be to surpass and outshine him
in the eyes of his people. and who never
rested from extending and terrifying his
castle until it threatened to surpass Zenda
itself both in strength and magniicence.
Moreover Nikolas, although maintaining a
state ample and suitable to his rank, was
yet careful and prudent, while Rudolph
spent all that he received and more be-
sides, SO that the count grew richer and the
king poorer. But in spite of these causes
of difference, the count was received at
court with apparent graciousness, and no

The Walls of Picking.

The outer wall is about 27 miles in cir conference. It was built centuries ago of mud and bricks. The inner and outer face are of the latter. Each brick is as big as family Bible, and the interstices are filled up with mud and stones. The whole has long settled into solid cement Save for some damage done in one or two quarters by recent floods, this great wall Is still intact. The gates number 19. They are insignificant, though finely arched, arc not much wider than the streets and are only about 20 feet high. At night they are closed with great doors sheathed with iron.
 The whole city forms two rough paral- kilograms, ono being the Tartar city and the other the Chinese. There is another wall separating the two sections. The first is the Mantchu quarter par excellence; the second is given over to commerce. Inside the walls of the Tartar city-they are GO feet thick at tho base-are the government buildings the foreign legations and the residences of the wealthy Tartars, which run around another high gray bricked wall, six miles (roughly) in circumference. This wall iHcloses tho temples, pleasure grounds, and outer palaces of the sacred city, consecrated to the uses of the "Son of Heaven. Inside this block, again, is the Purple Forbidden City, the actual resi- denco of the emperor and his court. Fort. nightly Review
