PAwNBRoKER ON THE STAND.
Testimony in the Durrant TriaI-A
Cigarmaker's Evidence.


San Francisco, Cal. Sept. 2S.-The
prosecution added an important witness
to its case in the Durrant trial this
morning in the person of Phillips. a cigar
manufacturer, who testified that he saw
Durrant come from the pawnshop of
Adolph Oppenheim on Dupont street.
Phillips was not certain of the date,
but he agreed with Oppenheim that it
was between the 4th and 10th of April.
and that the hour was about 10 O'clock
a. m. He said he was attracted by Dur
attention to him, but thought no more
of the matter until Oppenheim testified
as to Durrants visit to him. When the
pictures of Durrant were first published.
Phillips said that he had remarked to his
wife that the face was familiar. When
he read Oppenheims testimony 1t flashed
TO his mind where he had seen the face.
Philips identified Durrant and Open
helm in court. He SAID he thought the
loss Of Durrant's mustache would have
made his Identification difficult, but he
was positive he was the man, and be-
lieved he would be able to swear to Dur
rants identity.
Oppenheim was also on the stand this
morning. His memory was tested as to
others beside Durrant who had called at
his store and he was unable to describe
them. Several articles which Durrants s
counsel had offered to Oppenheim were
shown him and he remembered when they
were offered but could not describe the
persons who took the articles to him
though the visits were as recent as were
Durrant's at the time Oppenheim first
identified him. Notwithstanding this
Phillips corroborative testimony is taken
as conclusive on that point, unless it is
broken down by testimony of the de-
fense which is promised. Though neither
Oppenheim nor Phillips were positive of
the day Of Durrant's alleged visit they
are positive it was not on Sunday, April
7th.
Ii is said Durrant's counsel have wit
nesses to show Durrant could not have
visited Oppenheims in the morning at the
hour stated between the fourth and tenth
unless It was on the seventh.
The prosecution will probably close to-
morrow.

An innovation in yachting circles Is
now being talked of, nothing less than
sails made of compressed paper, the
sheets being cemented and riveted to-
gether in such way as to form a
smooth and strong seam. 1t appears
that the first process of manufacturing
consists. in preparing the pulp In the
regular way, to ton of which is add
ed 1 pound of bichromate IF potash
rs pounds Of glue, so pounds Of alum, IL
pounds of soluble glass, and 40 pounds
of prime tallow, these ingredients being
thoroughly mixed with the pulp. Next
the pulp is made into sheets by regular
paper-making machinery, and two
sheets are pressed together with glu-
tinous compound between, so as to re-
tain the pieces firmly, making the
whole practically homogeneous,
The next operation is quite important,
and requires a specially built machine
of great power, which is used in COM

sheet to a very thin, tough one. The

The Bears Had an Uncomfortable Time of
1t Yesterday.
New York July 1.-THE bulls had
their innings to-day and the bears in
the industrials had an uncomfortable
time of it. The official denials that the
Chicago Gas was financially embarrass-
ed, or that a receivership was imminent
was the first disappointment for the
shorts. The gold exports, $4,000 having
been shipped by the st. Louis to-day
and $4,000 engaged for the Normannia
sailing tomorrow, also failed to start
general liquidations. The bears were
quick to realize this and attempted to
cover. The result was an advance of
Il to Sss per cent. Leather preferred
made the greatest gain, selling up from
S2s to S61s.
Near the close, however, there was a
fresh selling movement in the stock
which carried the price down to, S314 q

THE KNOUT.
It Means Sentence of Death-still Used In
Russia.
IFrom st. Pauls.]


One never knows for certain how much
of the knout is left in modern Russia.
The telegraph wire still at times carries
the horrid whizz of it from remote ST.
IBERIA, and only the other day I saw
mention in news from st. Petersburg of
"a new Imperial ukase, "abolishing the
use Of the knout for the punishment of
offenses committed by peasantry, who
have hitherto been completely at the
mercy of the local judges in this res
pect." I was under the impression that
the local judges" had been deprived Of
their knout for twenty years or more,
but the sender of this message adds
that Statistic were submitted to the
car, showing that in ten years 1900
persons, mostly guilty Of thefts of pro-
duce, mad died after punishment with
the knout."
Granted the infection of the knout,
the 5000 deaths are easily believed: the
instrument itself (supposing this re-
port to be true) evidently dies harder
than its victims. But even in Russia,
where the rod and its equivalents have
had a more extended and bloody exis-

said a well known physician in this
city yesterday, "to put their babies up
on lactated food forthwith, except, of
course, where the mothers milk Is alb
solutely good and plentiful.
If child is being weaned this best

The closest investigation has shown
that babies grow stronger and faster,
and that fewest fall i'll during summer
when fed upon lactated food than upon
any other diet.
1.-THE lactated food, 1t must be remem-
bered, Is in no sense a medicine.
Like natures food, it's basis Is the
purest sugar Of milk, in proportions
to closely represent mothers milk.
With 1t is combined pure barley malt,
the finest wheat gluten, and the nutri-
