DURRANT HAD NO NOTES.


The Defense is Disconnected at tho Testi-
mOny of DR.. Graham.
SAN FRANCIsCo, Oct. Naturally the
subject uppermost in attorney Deuprey's
mind was the damaging statement made
by DR.. Gilbert F. Graham against Dur
rant, which was published today. The
knowledge that Durrant's classmate had
announced his intention to go on the wit
ness stand and testify that the accused
had confessed to him that he had no
notes of Dr. Cheney's lecture, nettled the
attorney not a little, although he de-
clared that he was confident of breaking
Graham down on cross examination.
What do 1 think of Graham's state
ment?" said Mr.. Deuprey, repeating the
question asked him.
"Why. | am amazed at il. 1 can't I'M
derstand it, really. l have talked with
Graham and he never mentioned such a
thing to me-. In fact he denied in the
presence of four witnesses that Durrant
had ever made an improper proposal to
him.
Now want to tell you something
continued Mr.. Deuprey as he shook his
finger impressively. 1--WE have simply
landed DR.. Graham in an uncomfortsbl BILE
place. He says now Durrant told
him he had no notes of that
lecture and wanted to borrow his
(Graham's) presumably to copy them in
order to bolster up an alibi. Now the
fact of the matter is. Durrant's notes of
DR.. Cheney's lecture were in the posses
sion of Con. Dickinson and myself long
before Graham ever called at the Jail
What will DR.. Graham's testimony
amount to as against that? What need
would Durrant have had for Oral ans
notes?"

Brooklyn he has been unusually active
with his pen, and every week thousands
look for his articles.
DR.. Cuyler is now veteran of IS
years. He was born in Aurora, n. Y,
Jan. 10, 1929, and was a son of B. Led
yard Cuyler, promising member of
the Cayuga bar. who died at the age of
30 years. Theodore received his early
education in Mendha1n, N. J., and was
graduated from Princeton college in
1871. His father, grandfather and IA
ther-i law We're lawyers, and the grand
father desired Theodore to follow in
their footsteps, but Theodore's mother
said he should be a minister.
One day the young man spoke five
minutes before a cottage meeting, and
several persons said his words had done
them good. The thought at once sug-
gested itself to young Cuyler that if
preaching five minutes did good he
would do we'll to preach all his life.
This determination reached, he entered
Princeton Theological seminary and was
graduated in 1916. In 1860 he became
pastor of the Lafayette Avenue church
in Brooklyn, which he made powerful
institution for good during his SO years
pastorate. When he retired, his admir-
ing flock made him a present of $50, 900
in cash.

81 was in q little village in the southern
part of Humboldt county few days ago, y
related travelling man, "and was sitting
on dry goods box in front of the only
store in the place trying to sell the pro-
prietor bill of goods, when we observed
bare headed man tearing down the trail
quarter of mile up the mountain.
Wonder what's arter i'm, unused the
storekeeper as he stopped the progress OF
his jackknife in the middle of a shingle.
Bang went a rifle, and little clod OF
dust flew up behind the man who was run
ming. He jumped about ten feet sideways,
let out a yell and then came fioundering
down the trail. Bang went another shot,
and bunch of leaves dropped from bush
over his head Then we saw a grizzled
old mountaineer couple of hundred
yards farther up the mountain in hot pur-
suit. Every time he caught sight of the
fleeing man he stopped and took a shot at
him. A couple of minutes later a San
Francisco attorney staggered into the
store and begged for protection.
What's the matters asked the store
keeper.
He's t7ying-to murder-me, gasped
the attorney as he crawled under coun-
ter.
''The storekeeper locked the doors just
as the pursuer came up.
- What's the trouble, Ike? he inquired
through the chink of the door.
Where's that thar varInint? Let me at

to see if he couldn't get another shot at

THE result of the contest between the
sporting fraternity and Governor Culber-
son Of Texas proves that laws can be
made and enforced in the face of adverse
public sentiment. There seems to be no
doubt that large majority of the peo-
pie of Texas were favorable to the fight,
the press favored it almost unanimously,
even the governor himself is said to have
personally favored it. but officially he
had said there should be no fight, and
there will be none in Texas. A, man. as
governor of Kansas with Culberson's
nerve could, and perhaps would, enforce
some Kansas statutes which are said to
be contrary to public sentiment in GER
tain localities.

AS the immense accommodations of

Men of His Race.

Career of DR.. Blytien, One of the Ablest
Men of His Race.
Edward Wilmot Blyden is a full
blooded negro, but he is without doubt
one of the ablest scholars his race has
yet produced. He is an expert on Arabic,
is familiar with Hebrew, Greek and
Latin, and speaks French, German,
Spanish and Italian. He is an A. NJ. OF
Hamilton college, a D. D. Of Lafayette
college, an L. L. D. of Lincoln university,
and many OF the most distinguished
men in the world are his friends He
has corresponded with Gladstone for 80
years and has been entertained by Lord
Brougham, the king of Belgium and
numerous other men of note. Lord Sal
isbury, Charles Dickens, Charles Sum
ner, the Earl of Derby and Herbert
Spencer are among those who have writ
ten him letters, and some of the fore
most magazines have requested and re-
ceived contributions from his pen. He
has published several books which have
met with a good reception, and one
volume, 1.-THE African Problem and
Other Discourses, - fully sets forth his
intelligent ideas on the future of the
negro.
DR.. Blyden has had very interesting
career. He was born at st. Thomas, one

Undaunted, he sailed for the young
republic of Liberia and there took a
course in classics and mathematics at
the Alexander school. In 1858 he be-

1861 was appointed professor of Ian

Oh, hear me, cruel hearted thief,
This is my last appeal to you'll
Here read the cause of all my grief
And see the mischief that you do.
You took from me my tender heart,
Though you it could no profit bring;
Now mine is but an idle part,
have no heart for anything.
You robbed me of my healthfE1 sleep,
To me the night no more brings rest,
Your haunting graces round me sweep
Whene'er my troubled pillows pressed.
You stole my appetite away,
Alasi I can no longer eat,
The dining hours that sweetened day
Have lost the charm that made them
sweet
Give back, give back all these again,
And you will forever bless,
For me to live with none were vain,
While you can surely live with less.
Or if part you wish to keep,
I yield perforce unto your might;
So hold you then my heart and sleep,
But, oh, return my appetitei

AN EASY THING.
almost Anyone Can Fit Ordinary
Eyes With Glasses.
Here Is a Man Who Has Been
successfully Fitting Them for
Over Twenty Years.

This is a record that anyone might be
proud of, and it ought to be convincing
TO the most skeptical that Prof. SamueIs
has the key to the profession which he
represents. He claims it is not much of
a task to fit a pair of glasses to look
through-anyone can do that The in
jury being done is where the trouble
lies. Prof. Samuels claims no one puts
on glasses too early, but it is great deal
better to GO without than to have the
wrong ones. Read this letter:
OMAHA, Neb., Feb. Is, 1895.
HProf. Samuels. DEAR SIR: About
eighteen years ago when you were in
Omaha, bought pair of your glasses.
They did me very much good-im-
proved my eyes SO much that did not
have any more use for them and they
were finally broken. Ny eyes are get
ting weak again and I will probably
have to get another pair. Will you
please let me know what method you
have of testing eyes at distance, and
also the price, and oblige, yours.
