Under DIVORCE CASE ON TRIAL.
Plaintiff Was ON the Stand All Day

INK SOuAA
The Under divorce case came up yester-
day morning before Judge Harvey. of the
Superior Court, and will continue for several
days. THE original complaint for a separa-
ton was filed by Elizabeth C. Under. Will
liam Under, the husband, filed a cross-com-
plant and employed attorneys to fight the
case for him.. Attorneys Lewis G. Walker
and Healing & Hugg represent the plaintiff.
The prosecution of Linder's cross-complaint
is being made by attorneys Span and Nc
Cullough. The chief point of contention is
over he property belonging to the couple,
and .yhich is said TO be worth about $15. 900.
Both parties to the suit are young and well
known socially. The plaintiff was on the
stand all day yesterday; She told the story
both on direct and cross-examination. She
accused her husband of neglect and infidel-
ity. The cross complaint of the defendant
charges that a conspiracy was entered into
between his young wife and her parents to
induce him to deed his property to her.
Then the suit for divorce was Instituted.
Mrs. Under said her father had told her
that her husband was untrue to her, and
admitted that she left the city at one time
in order that her husbands alleged irreg-
ularities might be disclosed to the detectives
employed by her father to watch him.

LONDON, Jan. 31.-At the WOOL auction
sales to-day 1929 bales were offered, of
which 1880 were withdrawn. A varied as
sortment was offered, but the bidding was
very active where best grown was con-
cerned. There was a good demand for
superior secured cOmbings for Yorkshire
and the continent. Falkland Island and
Punta Arenas were half a penny above the
December sales.

Jan. 31.-There was lust a
slightly better turn to the cattle market.
The better feeling was due in part to the
fact of continued fight offerings and partly
to the favorable reaction in the grain and
provision markets. To-day's offerings were
closely bought up on a basis of $3m5.65 for
very common to strictly prime steers, 81. so
03.7 for poor to extra cows, heifers and
bulls and $243.75 for stockers and feeders.
Texas cattle were in demand.
Swine sold higher to-day in every in
stance. Some prime hogs held over from
yesterday sold 20c above the best bid re-
ceived that day. and there were many
trades that showed scarcely sc advance. A
majority of sellers quoted the market 51
10c higher, and the average gain was some
where between these figures. The choicest
of the heavy hogs were taken at 81. 80, and
there were a few sales OF prime assorted
light at $4.0- The major part of the 40, 900
hogs offered, however, went out of sellers
hands at $3.85G4 for light and at $4Q4.20 for
averages of over 200 lbs.
The sheep and lamb market was firm
and unchanged. There was a good demand
at $2.50G4 for poor to choice sheep, and at
s3.5od4-75 for poor to choice lambs. An ex-
porter paid S42 for a bunch of fancy sheep
and there were a few sales of lambs at
sS.s0q3.90. Culls were quoted at $1.75G2.25.

NEW YORK, Jan. 31.-As usual to the
last day of the month, there was a. light
general demand for small assortments of
seasonable specialties. The maturing of
orders for February has occasioned a large
movement and very fuu sales were COM
pleted. The tone of the market is in favor
of more business and values are steady.
On Feb. 6 and Z, the feature of next week

a terrible criminal he would have

sagacity against the law, instead of ex-

loud crow of delight.

''We ought to have very little trouble

REPUBLICAN, CoWARDlcE.
Contemplate Silence OF the Presidential
Aspirants.

Contemplate Silence OF the Presidential
Aspirants.
Mr.. Elkins, who is said by his back
ers to be certain of the next republican
presidential nomination, has made q
great discovery. He declines to dis
cuss the outlook because at present
'there is not a breath of political air
stirring" and 1t will be better to wait
till something is done before talking.
A similar conclusion seems to have
been reached by other republican
aspirants, for all OF them have stopped
talking. We do not think their silence
is due to the absence of political air,
but to the presence OF too much silver
issue. It is difficult to talk now with
ont saying something about that, and
as not a man of them has the courage
to give his honest opinion on 1t, all of
them are forced to be silent. They
may have discovered also that nothing
is SO deadly to presidential aspirant
as the blunder of being ''too previous. !"
They all realize this to certain ex-
tent, but when they see one of their
number showing his boom upon the
track, all the rest OF them shove theirs
a little too, lest he get the advantage
Of position. If they will agree to keep
quiet for the summer, it will be better
for all OF them, for the public will not
have its attention called so steadily to
their moral cowardice. IN. Y. Post.

was the face to that of our little friend
that I looked round at him to make
sure that he was indeed with us. Then
I recalled to mind that he had men
toned to us that his brother and he
were twins.
'sThis is terriblet' / said to Holmes.
"What is to be done?"
''The door must come down" he an
swered, and, springing against it, he
put all his weight upon the lock. 1t
creaked and groaned, but did not yield.
Together we flung ourselves upon it
once more, and this time it gave way
with a sudden snap, and we found our
selves within Bartholomew Sholto's
chamber.
1t appeared to have been fitted up as
a chemical laboratory. A double line
of glass-stoppered bottles was drawn
up upon the wall opposite the door,
and the table was Uttered over with
Bunsen burners, test tubes and retorts.
In the corners stood carboys of acid in
wicker baskets. One of these appeared
to leak or to have been broken, for a
stream of dark-colored liquid had
trickled out from it, and the air was
heavy with peculiarly pungent tar
like odor. A set of steps stood at one
side of the room, in the midst of a lit
ter of lath and plaster, and above
them there was an opening in the cell
ing large enough for man to pass
through. At the foot of the steps a
long coil of rope was thrown carelessly
together.
BY the table, in wooden armchair,
the master of the house was seated all
in a heap, with his head sunk upon his
left shoulder, and that ghastly, inscrut-
able smile upon his face. He was stiff
and cold, and had clearly been dead
many hours. Tt seemed to me that not
only his features but all his limbs were
twisted and turned in the most fan
tastic fashion. By his hand upon the
table there lay peculiar instrument,
"a brown, close-grained stick, with a
stone head like a hammer, rudeiy
lashed on with coarse twine. Beside it
was a torn sheet of note paper with
some words serawled upon it. Holmes
glanced at it, and then handed it to me.
''You see," he said, with significant
raising of the eyebrows.

skin just above the ear.

INCREASED EXPORTS.
Prosperity Returning Through the DEM
ocratic Tariff.

Among the othar facts Enthusiastically
showing the revival of business is an
increase in our export trade. New
York merchants within the past few
days have been commenting upon this,
and the reason they assign for it is a
remarkable illustration of the solidar-
ity of the commercial nations of the
world.
1t has pleased certain school of
American politicians for many years
past to represent international COM
merce as analogous to war. They
have held out the idea that when one
nation gains anything from trade an
other necessarily loses They have
treated imports as a calamity, and ex-
ports alone as worthy of consideration.
They have quite ignored the fact that
international commerce is mainly an
exchange of commodities, and that it a
nation does not buy 1t cannot sell oc-
casionally exceptions TO this rule may
be noted, but it is incontestably true
in the long run. There is no nation
that can go on for years exporting
commodities without importing others
to pay for them, for the simple reason
that other nations cannot go on pay
ing for their imports in money. for in
few years they would have no money
left As a rule, imports must be paid
for by exports. Hence when imports
increase exports must increase in a
similar ratio
The protection papers have been
making great outcry about sne in
crease of our imports for the past fiscal
year, comparing them with the panic
period that extended from July 1, 1893,
to June 80, 1894. Our imports then
were small because our ability to pur-
chase was limited. Much has been
said about the large increase of imports
Of woolens during the fiscal year just
closed. In the first ten months of the
fiscal year ended on the 3oth ult. our
imports of woolens were of the value
of nearly thirty millions of dollars,
which was in excess of those for the
corresponding months in the preceding
fiscal year. Hence the how1s to which
we have referred. But il we go back

his hand upon his shoulder. Take my
advice and drive down to the station to
report the matter to the police. Offer
to assist them in every way. We shall

The little man obeyed in half
stupefed fashion, and we heard him
stumbling down the stairs in the dark.
