parent strengthening of the prosecution S
case has made no difference in the atti-
tude OF the counsel for the defenese. who
still maintain that they have somthing
conclusive in the prisoners favor when
their turn comes at the witness box.
The prisoners parents have apparently
lost none of their confidence in their
sons innocence, although they admit
their ignorance of the plan of defense to
be made by their sons attorneys. The
defendant seems now to realize the
weight OF the case against him, ut is
unmoved as ever. The police have at last
identified Durrant's unknown girl ad-
mirer who attends court every day and
who formerly sent him flowers. She is
Rosslind Holland the daughter of we'll
TODD people living in Oakland. She knew
Durrant before the murder and she be-
lleves him innocent. 1t was suggested
that perhaps the funds for Durrants
defense we're supplied by this young wo-
man, but il is doubtful if she could con-
troll the amount sufficient or this purpose.
The expenses of the defense are believed
to be large.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 14.-Acting Sec
rotary Hamlin of the treasury has in
formed the collectors of customs on the
frontier that in the opinion of the de-
partment the practice authorized many
years ago of labelling or stamping the
hand baggage of passengers on their
departure from the United States for
other places therein by routes passing
through foreign territory serves no good
purpose and affords no protection what
ever to revenue officers. The discontin-
uance of the practice has been ordered,
and in lieu thereof the collectors are oi-
rected to req uire their officers to examine
the hand baggage Of passengers arriving
within their collection district from for
eign terri tory without regard to the places
whence the baggage may come.

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 14.-Private
adyices received from Honolulu and pub
lished here today state that cholera has
secured a stronger hold on the Hawaiian
capital than the authorities are willing
to admit. The natives are SAID to be

orders. The natives not only conceal
new cases from the authorities, but de-
cline TO use the treatment prescribed ana
hide the fatalities resultant from the
epidemic. The natives will not trust
themselves in the hands of the board of
health if they can avoid it, believing that
such treatment means certain death.
Those who come into intimate contact
with the natives say that they are much
excited over the spread of the disease
which they ascribe to the unpopular
board OF health. 1t is predicted that I'M

Extraordinary Expenditure Revealed BY
Books of the Whisky Trust.
PEORIA, Ill, March 21.-The two
experts who examined the books OF
the whisky trust taken from Joseph
Greenhut's safe on the order of Receiver
McNulta are reported to have found
an item of something over $500, 900,
which is set opposite the inscription,
extraordinary legal expenses. The
item bears date early in 1891 and
from a perusal of the records the fact
is said to have been brought out that
the trust was not at that time engaged
in any legal controversy, much less a
contest which would render necessary
the expenditure of such an amount OF
money. It was about this time that
Secretary Gibson OF the whisky trust
was arrested in Chicago on the charge
of being concerned in sensational
attempt to blow up the Shufeldt
distillery, then running in opposition
to the trust. Gibson was indicted for
this but was never brought to trial
The exact nature of the evidence found
in the safe cannot be learned, as those
concerned in the matter refuse to talk.

!. His Eastern Cognomen.

A young Colorado mining engineer,
whom we will call Morton, according
to Harper's drawer" was once
seated in chair in a Denver barber
shop undergoing a shave. The talk
turned on the case of man who, be-
ing on trial for murder, had been
recognized by visitors to the court
room as a young theological student
from a middle state, where he had
been the possessor Of a spotless repa-
tation and a totally different name.
The conversation thereupon drifted to
the subject of changed Identities.
Morton's barber rubbed the razor on
the strap refectively and said: Yes,
it's surprising how many men change
their names after they get out West.
By the way, Morton, what was your
name back East ~ mister Morton,
was the quiet reply
