AS she commenced to speak, however, it

"Who are your" asked Judge Conlan.
Again Miss Williamson started to tell in
whose Judgment she had come, and by this
time the court began to realize that the
woman was the victim of mania of some
sort and he ordered the bailiff to escort the
woman down from the witness-stand and
out of the courtroom.

to have hearing.
Three times before the trial opened the
police cleared the place of loungers, thus
making respiration possible, but the places
OF those expelled were quickly filled by
others, and throughout the examination
the room was packed like a sardine-box.
AT the McAllister entrance to the City
Prison 500 or 600 people had gathered be-
fore haf-past 10, and waited patiently in
the vain hope of catching glimpse of the
accused man, as he passed from his cell to
the courtroom above.
He was taken into court, however, by an
other route, but the disappointment was
not acute enough to send the loungers
home, and all day they remained about
the entrance, with occasional futile efforts
to run the gantlet of the police in the
corridor leading to the courtroom.
1t was two minutes after II when Dur
rant appeared in court, escorted by Cap
tain Douglass and two officers. He shook
hands with his counsel, General Dickinson
and Eugene Deuprey, who had entered the

a seat directly behind his lawyers and in
close proximity to the chair occupied by
Captain Douglass.

come on board tied up in bales of dozen
each, and are stored in the linen locker,

hot.
There is no danger of linen getting
widowed there. The linen which has
been used is thrown into another room,

AN IMPRISONED BIRD.
How Little Humming- Bird was Held in

How Little Humming- Bird was Held in
the Petal of a Flower All Night.
Nature is very loving and careful
mother, and it is seldom, within a civil
lied community, that any accident befalls
her little ones for which her higher crea-
ton, man, is not directly responsible. In
view of this fact, the following little in
cident seems interesting:
A lady of New Orleans, La, relates
that some days since the first humming-
bird of the season made its appearance
in her garden. slipping lndiscriminately
from the wealth of sweets Late in the
afternoon she observed the little fellow
lowering around a spike of Annunciation
lilies which had shot up perfectly laden
with bells. The next morning early when
she went out for n matutinal stroll
through the garden she heard a f1utter-
ing and faint. cheepiRg from the neigh
borhood of the lily bed. For some time
she could see nothing to account for
the faint sounds, but at last was aston
ished to discover, that one of the lily
bells had closed its petals, imprisoninlg
the humming-bird within it. 1t is prob
able that the bird had buried its, beak
too far in and extracted so much honey
as to cause the already fading flower to
collapse suddenly; thus holding the little
fellow close-bound all night long.

In proof it relates that during recent
pleasant afternoon a handsome looking,
well-dressed man started for a stroll up
Chestnut street. When opposite the en-
trance to the Continental hotel the
stroller met a party of friends and one
of them playfully caught one end of his
faultlessly adjusted necktie and pulled
the knot loose. Then came a tug of war,
for no one in the party could make the
knot again. After a great many attempts
the stroller brushed his friends aside and
stepped up to a pleasant looking girl,
who was looking into a jewelers. window.

bright smile, the young woman deity
