Another important witness has been
discovered who can testify in behalf OF
| Maria Barberi in the event OF new
| trial being granted by the Court Of Ap-
peals. to which her lawyers. Mr.. House
and Mr. Evans, have made APPLICATION.
It has been learned that there was
still another person present In the bar
room at 4os East Thirteenth street.
when the girl killed her betrayer. Ca
taldo. besides her mother and little
brother and Nardo Tayolacci. who had
been playing cards with Cataldo.
This was the wife OF the saloon
keeper.
Since the killing OF Cataldo this wo-
man has kept out Of sight. and tho i'm
portance of her testimony was not real
lied by the defense until very recently.
Then search was made for her, but
1t was found that she had disappeared.
but after continued efforts it Is said that
she has at last been located and that.
like Tavolacci. she has consented to ap-
pear as "A witness for the condemned
girl If "A second trial is secured,
Her testimony, It Is stated, will cor
roborate that of Maria, and. like Ia
volacci. she will show that Cataldo
made brutal attack upon the girl he
had ruined and that he was armed with
stletto. which he threatened 10 use
upon her.
She also heard the cruel taunts and
insults which Cataldo heaped upon
Maria, which excited her to such a
degree of desperation and madness that
the weak minded girl was no longer
responsible for her actions.

that the conviction OF Maria Earberi
was a great mistake and urgently re-

girl at once, or at least to commute her
sentence. The meeting adjourned after
appointing a committee to draw up
plans for permanent organization.
All the italian societies are now in
teresting themselves in behalf OF the
unfortunate girl and are raising funds
TO meet the expenses of her appeal to
tho higher courts.
Lawyer Evans said to-day that he
was busy pcrfecting the record for the
presentation of the case to the Court
OF Appeals as soon as II sits In October.
He declares that things look very
bright for Maria. and In q new trial he
expects nothing less than an absolute
acluittal.
The number of names in the petitions
for her pardon which are being sent
to the Governor Ia increasing daily.
They are coming in by the thousands

she can improve on this time though.

Poultry Pickings.

Never set eggs deformed in any
way.
Oats as siasle food will tend to
lessen fat.
There is less risk of loss in vari-
ETY. of fowls.
Good layers are generally active
and on the move.
Sell off all the old hens and the
surplus cockerels.
Goslings are very tender before
they are feathered.
The time to gather duck and geese
feathers Is when they are ripe.
When the hen is confined it is very
important to give her bulky food.
Whenever the poultry can have a
free range they will need less feeding.
Weight and size are important fac
tors in rendering the fowls market
able.
Be sure that the nests are free
from lice before the hens are set in
them.
Hens may leave their broods too
early if fed freely with egg producing
foods.
Early Matched chickens are only
profitable when they have the best
of care.
The eggs should be washed with
warm water before putting in the in
cubator.
Toulouse geese care but little for
water, although they need an occa-
sional bath.
Air slaked lime is one of the best
representatives. of gapes if sprinkled
over the yard.
Arrange, at least, a small yard with
wire netting around it. in which to
keep the young poultry.
1t is poor economy to allow poultry
to have the run of the door yard and
especially around the well.
Turkeys must have plenty of room
If they are to be made profitable; they
will not bear confinement.
Geese are very productive and
quite profitable, especially when they
can have the run of the pastures and
meadows.
By keeping the chickens growing
from the shell they ought to be
ready for the market when they are
ten or twelve weeks old.
One of the best ways Of feeding
oats is to put them in n vessel and
pour scalding water over them, let
stand over night and then feed in the
morning.

Household Helps.

Strong ammonia and wator viii
take out grease spots.
A persistent washing and rinsing
in milk will remove an ink stain
Scour wooden utensils, pie, meat
and bread boards with cold water and
sand soap; it will make and keep
them whittier.
Zinc may be polished with rag
moistened with coal oil, but it must
first be washed clean and wiped dry
with soft cloth.
The best grade of rice is semi
transparent, and if it is laid on dark
blue paper it will seem to be of
blush color.
Ripe bananas put up in cans with
condensed milk make a nutritious
food for those who like the flavor It
is said to keep as well as any other
canned product
To remove glass stopper that
has become tightly wedged, put
drop or two of sweet oil in the crew
ice about the stopper and it will
loosen in an hour or two.
AS relish for roast duck or game,
orange salad is good. Slice six
oranges for eight persons. Crate
the rind of one and add the juice of
one lemon, three teasponfuls of sal
ad oil or melted butter, pinch of
cayenne pepper, and pour over the
oranges.
Dust and marks of children's fin
gers can be removed from windows
by rubbing them with a sponge
which has been dipped in ammonia
and water. To remove finger marks
from and restore luster to the keys
of piano wash off the marks with a
chamois skin wet with cold water;
then rub the surface with sweet oil
mixed with half its quantity of tur-
pentine. A liberal rubbing with
this mixture will prove effective.

The Tide Has Turned.

The wisest of the republican leaders
admit that the POLITICAL tide which set
SO strong in their direction in the con-
tests of 1884 has turned. They may
not admit it has set in strongly in the
democratic direction as yet, but the
fact cannot be disputed that the volun-
tary advance of the wages of over a
million of workingmen-something I'M
precedented in the history of the coun-
try-the general revival of business,
the prosperity of manufacturers and
the prospect of bountiful crops have
radically changed the political situa-
ton. Republicans were sure of every
thing a few months ago as TO next
years contest. but they are no longer
sanguine, and admit that they have to
fight, and fight hard. Democrats a
few months ago were ready to surrend-
er everything. but an astonishing revi-
val of hope and confidence is now going
On. Prosperity and increasing wages
have proved the republican party to be
wrong all the time and wrong now.
Senator Lexow of New York said in an
interview the other day, when asked
what he thought of the political out
look; '.that a few months ago he
thought the republicans were going to
have things their own way, but now he
fears that this revival in business, and
especially the general increase i'll wages,
will blind the people to the real facts in
the situation
1t does not appear that there is that
unity in the republican party that
helped the tidal wave of the past two
years. In Pennsylvania the republi-
cans are fighting tooth and nail. In
New York conditions are little better,
while in Massachusetts, Senator Hoar
has big fight with the A. P. A. ele-
ment of the party. Here in the west
where the paramount issue is silver the
democratic party is gaining strength
daily at the expense of the republican
party's Inconsistency.
Verify, indications point to democra-
tic success in the campaign of 1896.

INTOLERANCE is the weapon of the
fanatic and fanaticism in all ages has
carried the torch of destruction to un-
believers. He who came to save the
world had no venom, no malice, no re-
venge to hurl at those who disagreed
him. He preached peace, kindness,
charity and brotherly love. There are
great many men who hold up their
hands in holy herror when their pro-
fessed code is violated, who do not pay
their honest debts, evade rendering JUS
tice. and howl about the other fellow.
