from St. Lawrence county about three years ago, and who is considered the most dangerous of the female patients in the institution.
 The assault was the result of a grudge which Mrs. Halliday had held against the attendant for some time. She had been awaiting a chance to get even with the attendant. This opportunity came on Fri day afternoon, when Miss Ward went into the bathroom, which adjoins the women's ward, to wash, preparatory to taking the usual afternoon of duty" which comes to every attendant each week. Mrs. Shan non was at work in the bathroom at the time. While Miss Ward was washing her hands Mrs. Halliday entered the bathroom with towel, which she handed to the at tendant.
 "Thank you, LiZZie,' said Miss Ward as she reached for the towel.
 The words were no sooner spoken than she was seized by the murderess and thrown to the floor. Mrs. Shannon, who, it appears, had consplrcd with Mrs Hal liday to assault the attendant, then jumped on Miss Wards prostrate form, while Mrs. Halliday crammed the towel which she had brought to Miss Ward into the latter's mouth.
 Then the two crazy and revengeful women kicked and wounded the attend ant, Mrs. Halliday tearing her hair and scratching her face with her finger nails.
 The scuffle was heard in the ward, and Miss Amanda Hess, an attendant, with the help of one or two of the patients, res cued Miss Ward from her assailants. The attendant, when help reached her, was unconscious and 1t was thought at first that she would die. She rallied, however, on Saturday, and though bruised quite badly on different parts of her body was able to resume her duties.

Phosphorescent Light.

Some experiments have been made in France to determine the specific action of considerable lowering of tempera- ture upon the brillianoy of certain bodies which shine in the dark after having been exposed to sunlight Tubes of glass filled with the powdered sul- phides of calcium, barium. strontium, etc.. all substances possessing the prop erty of phosphoresoence ill high degree, were exposed to the solar rays and after ward proved to be luminous in the dark, this being done in such way as to fix upon the memory the mean value of the progressive diminution of the emitted light, and the time also was noted dur
 ing which the light was strong, less strong and weak respectively. The tubes were next placed in bright sunlight for one minute and then suddenly intro duced into double walled glass cylin- der, the interspace of which was filled with nitrous oxide at 40 degrees c. In about five or six minutes the tempera- tnrs of the tubes was some 100 degrees. They were then withdrawn, and when observed in perfectly dark chamber no luminosity whatever was perceptible.
 As the tubes recovered their normal tenn perature, however, the phosphorescence returned without the exciting agency of the suns rays or of diffused light. These results were proved to be general for all phosphorescent substances em- ployed. The experiments showed, too, that the production of the phosphoros- cent light requires certain movement of the constituent molecules of bodies.

No More Wild Men In Boruec

Lammerts Van Beuren, manager of one of the great tobacco plantations in British North Bornco, came over from Japan on the Belgic and is on his way to his native country, Holland. The plantation of which he has charge COW CTS about 10, ,000 acres.
 Mir. Van Beuren states that, contrary to the general impression abroad, Bor- neo is a safo place for foreigners to do business in. The native race, though pi- ratical in its dealings with Chinese, is, on the whole, friendly to the whites The only industrial work the aborigines do is to raft bamboo and rattan down the rivers for the use of tho estates. The most civilized class among them are the Dyaks, who used to be head hunters, but are now of some use to the British gov er1.ment in the local military service. Work on the plantation is done by the Chinese, Malays and Javanese.
 In the intervals of tobacco farming Mir Van Beuren does good deal of hunting, and his description of the game resources of Borneo will be of interest to sportsmen. There are plenty of rhi- noceri, of which he has killed seven, and o. wild cattle, of which he has shot over 50. The ourang outang and n long nosed monkey peculiar to Borneo abound. There are also elephants in the north western part, but these are protected by the game laws San Francisco Chroni. ola

4 SONG OF FATHERlAND.

I've wandered s,st, I've wandered west, In gypsy wise 0 random roamer. Of men and maids I've known the best, Like the far travelled king in Homer. But, oh, for the land that bore mel Oh, for the stout old land Of breezy Ben and winding glen
 And roaring flood and sounding strand. I've stood where stands in pillared pride The shrine of Jove's spear shaking daughter And humbled Persia stained the tide Of free Greek seas with heaps of slaughter. I've stood upon the rocky crest
 Where Joves proud eagle spreads his pinion, Where looked the god far east far west, And all he saw was Rome's dominion. I've seen the domes of Moscow far, In green and golden glory gleaming, And stood where sleeps the mighty czar, By Neva's flood so grandly streaming. I've stood on many famous spot
 Where blood of heroes flowed like rivers, Where Deutschland rose at Gravelotte, And dashed the strength of Gaul to shivers. I've fed my eyes by land and sea,
 With sights of grandeur streaming OCT me But still my heart remains with thee, Dear Scottish land, that stoutly bore me. Oh, for the land that bore mel
 Oh, for the stout old land, With mighty Ben and winding glen, Stout Scottish land, my own dear landl

Princess Helene a Eaxorita

Princess Helene is an accomplished horsewoman and is very fond of hunt ing. She is beautiful girl, with a fine figure, tall and queenly. Princess He lene has long been great favorite with our own royal family, and more espe- cially of the Princess of Wales and Prin- cess Beatrice. At the garden party given at Sheen House in 1889 by the Comte and Comtesse de Paris to celebrate their silver wedding, Princess Helene was a lovely girl of IS, with beautiful golden brown hair that has now become some shades darker. The Due d'Aosta is two years older than his bride, and though not so handsome as she is very good looking and of pleasant, co lrteous man. ners.

Leather Tires.

Two Frenchmen of Rheims have re- gently completed an invention which they claim will in a measure revolution ize the present pneumatic tire. They build their wheels by substituting an outer pneumatic tube made of leather for the rubber tubes now in use. Their invention has been taken up by the min istry of war, which is now perfecting the idea with a view to supply all the military cycles with tires that will not give out easily.
 The resistance of leather is consider ably greater than that of rubber, and 1t will better stand the pressure from within and the exterior agents of de- struction, such as nails, hoops, roots or sharp pebbles. It is not absolutely inn perforable, but it is at least as good as the fine steel band which was experi- mentally placed between the outer and inner tubes, and which was pierced by needles and tacks. Leather offers the greatest impenetrability in relation to Its thickness without impairing the nec- essary elasticity. It is further improved by preparation which renders 1t inn permeable to water. The leather tire IS easily repaired i'll case of perforation- any cobbler can sew it up-and this re- pair is permanent and not likely to get out of order.
 Other advantages claimed for the leather tire ere: Greater Hghtness, it will not get out of shape as dces rubber, and it will not slip on asphalt pavement or wet roads. The new material for the tire seems to meet with great encourage ment on the part of the military author | ities of France.-Paris Nature.

 At this point in tho trial and boforo proceeding with the evidence it becomes my duty as the representative of the pco- pie to mako what is called the opening statement of tho case. The opening state- ment should not be regarded by you in the light of testimony; neither should it bo regarded as m argument upon tho facts. 1t should not have any weight with you, nor should yon consider it as mitigating against the prisoner. It Is merely state ment of what the people expect to prove statement of the evidence which they intend to sot for your consideration, and upon which they will confidently rely for verdict at your hands which shall sweep away tho sophistries and tho tcohnioalitics that havo cnveloped criminal proceedings in thls stato as with garment and shall declare that the land we live in is blessed not only with tho manifold gifts of nature and of God to man, but is further blessed with the hard clear common sense that can rise above the tortuous environments that surround the criminal and punish the crime committed in the manner required and demanded by all laws both human and divine.
 Bianoh. Lamont's Career
 We will show you that in the month of September, 1894, Blanche Lamont n young girl about 20 years of ago, came to San Francisco from her home at Dillon, Mon. in the hope that the mild climate of Call fornia might benefit her health. She went to reside with her aunt and uncle Mir. and Mrs. c. c. Noble, and from the time of her arrival hore until April 3 sho was engaged in attending school She was not society girl in any sense of tho word. She was of quiet disposition, home keep ing and religious. She never attended parties, theaters or other places of amuse. ment except in company with her relatives We will show that Blanche Lamont in her lifetime was well-too well--and yet not well enough acquainted with the prisoner, Durant; that he was in the habit of no- companying her home from church and prayer meetings; he was caller upon her at her aunt's house; that upon the only occasion upon which sho ever went any where with any young man, as far as wc arc informed, she visited the park one afternoon in company with Durant.

DEFENDER TO DEFEND.
The Syndicate Boat VIII Meet the Englist
 Mug Hunter.

NEW YORK, Aug 31.-The Defender won the final race from Vigilant and was selected to defend the cup against the Val kyrie. The Defender will be put in the drydock in the Erie basin today to get ready for the first international race, which will take place next Saturday.
 The following notice was posted in the New York Yacht clubhouse:
 'The America's cup committee has se- lected the yacht Defender as the repre- sentative of the New York Yacht club against Valkyrie III in the contest for the America's cup.
 "A. CAss CASsFIELD, Secretary"
 The America's cup committee met Lord Dunraven at the New York Yacht club house last evening for the purpose of sub- hitting to him the programme of the rules and regulations which will govern the races.
 The third so called trial race between Defender and Vigilant, which took place Friday, was good deal of a farce. De fender won over course of ten miles to windward and return by minutes 12 sec onds, when she could have crossed the finish line anywhere from s to 10 minutes ahead of Vigilant If she had been sailed for all she was worth.

MILD EARTHQUAKE.
Shock Felt In Pennsylvania, New York and
 New .Jersey.

Nhuek EsH ttuhrJtfAbtAs ESeW tofh anu
 New Jerscy.
 PHIkADKLPHIA,S Sept. 2.-An earthquake shock lasting several seconds was folt In this city shortly after q o'clock Sunday morning. The disturbance by Mother Earth of the quiet of the Sabblth morn. ing was violent enough while it lasted to create good deal of oonsternation and not a little damage. Buildings perocptibly swayed, windows clattered and banged, and clocks and pictures topplcd from their places.
 NEW YORK, Sept. 2.-Aooording to Fore caster Dunn the earthquake reached this city at 6:ll a. n., and the shock lasted for ten seconds. It travelled from south to north, but only comparatively few per sons here appear to have noticed the dis turbance. Those who did do not agree as- to tho exact timo of its occurrence. liar lemites evidently felt it more than tho residents farther down town.
 In the lower portion of tho city it was exceedingly difficult to find any one who had felt it at nll. But in Brooklyn there were plenty of persons of excellent repute for veracity who said they had been awak- ened by tho shock and scared nearly out of their wits.
 On Long Island, where the vibrations of the earth were most severe, it is claimed that tho earth experienced rolling which made houses sway very peroeptibly.
