THE TRIAL OF puRasnT:
f'ke pefsnss Dlsapeointsd with che Evil
dencs OF Or. Cheney.

Ehe nefnnss BtsnPfofnteo WITH the Eva-
dsnos OF Dr. Cheney.
SAN FRANcIsco, Sept. e7.-The keystone
m tho arch Of Durrant's alibi crnmbled
and fell yesterday. The witness upon
whom the attorneys for the defense de-
pended most to sustain their contention
chat Durrant was attending a lecture at
Cooper Medical college at the hour when
Blanche Lamont was murdered gave dis
appointing testimony. Instead of testify
ing that Durrant was present at the lecture,
as Attorney Duprcy said DIR. Cheney would
do, the doctor said he had no recollection
OF seeing the young medical student.
To offset this reverse the defense gained
only one point-the admission rs an ex-
hibit the roll call book at tho college, in
which Durrant was recorded as present at
the lecture given on the afternoon OF April
8. The prosecution holds the roll call
book In little esteem, from the fact that
1t will place witnesses on the stand to
prove that Durrant frequently asked his
classmates to answer to his name when he
was absent, and that they compiled with
his request.
The crush in the corridors at the en-
trance to the court was greater than upon
any other day since the trial began. Men
and women fought for admission, while
the sheriff and score Of deputies strug-
gled as desperately to keep the crowd back
At times the confusion outside was SO
great that the proceedings of the court
were interrupted. At length Judge MUIR
ply summoned the sheriff and ordered him
to clear the corridors. If the sheriff's forces
were insufficient, the judge said, he would
call on the chief of police for a squad Of
men to execute the order.

THE ART OF Correspondence.
To Write Charming Letter an Accom-
plishment-wax and Sealing.

To Write n Charming Letter an Accom-
plishment-wax and Sealing.
The most delightfully."- worth while of all
accomplishments, writes Mrs. Roger A.
Pryor, is, to my mind, that of writing
charming letters. However sweet q song
may be, 1t is evanescent as o breath and
survives as q divine memory only. Con-
versation requires the actual presence Of
those who engage in II, and the pleasure IL
gives depends upon many things-a melo-
dious voice, an attractive appearance,
maybe cheerful rooms, congenial surround
tngs, freedom from the cares and Interrupt
tions Of hfe But 1t matters not how cold
and bare q garret home may be, nor how
forbidding it's outlook upon the chimney
pots under q wintry sky, or whether the
lodge be In q wilderness or foreign land,
given some measure of leisure, good sta
tionery and convenient postofiice, ali the
world may be ours. We may daily send
forth on white wings our highest thought
and most gracious words, and a full need
Of appreciation will surely return to us.
Such correspondence may be tndepend-
ent of the formalities Of an introduction.
No third person Ia needed IL we wish to
congratulate an artist or author or ex-
press our gratitude to a philanthropist,
philosopher or poet. These dwellers in
the realms Of thought are peculiarly sus-

Momentous consequences have occasional
ly been the outgrowth of acquaintance
thus begun. i knew happy marriage to
result from such correspondence with n
poet, and we all have known friendships,
ending only with life which have been
nourished as they were begun by letters
only.
OF course, In tho high thinking that
must govern correspondence bringing
about such results formulas Of expression
and matters of stationery are quite swept
into the background. And yet, fancy,
the initial letters in most cases must be
immaculate-prim, trig little affairs, neat
and trim as an epigrann, producing some
thing like the impression one receives from
perfectly gloved hand extended for its
first greeting. Tho Introductory letters
must be happily worded-ceia va sans dire
but am sure they should also be neatly
written. One should have an alcohol
lamp or roll of the wax Uapers sold for
the purpose and still air In the room to
properly seal letters. With the seal and
envelope before you, turn one end of the
stick of wax rapidly over the flame, not
near enough to ignite it, until 1t is creamy
and ready Co drop, then deftly rub 1t round
and round over the point Of the envelope
flap until enough is deposited, when tho
dab of wax may be held a moment imme-
diately over the flame. Thon firmly press
the seal into It, II drop of the hot wax
is first placed under the point Of the Zap,
the seal will be less likely to break. A
well cut seal will never stick and practice
will insure firm impression, with the
wax nodded neatly and evenly around tho
seal. In all this, pray be careful Blaz-
ing WAX in some hands is dangerous Re-

Cabbsxcs In Winter.

The following Is from the pen Of the
editor of American Gardening:
The seed should be sown about the
middle Of September, in the latitude of
New York, then the plant will be about
double the size II Is when usually
set We plow out trench each way
that is, double furrow-six inches
deep. Pull the plants, after first loosen
ing the soil to prevent breaking the
roots. Set them as closely in the trench
as il in boxes or bundles for sale in
spring, or as close as they can be set
without packing. A wisp of straw once
in ten feet will be sufficient. Then cover
with earth sufficient to keep out severe
freezing. A slight freeze will pot in
jure them--in fact. will improve them
IL they can be kept slightly frozen. We
have had splendid crop of cabbage this
summer from plants kept in this way.

PENALTY FOR PRIVATE USE.
The Surprising Dilemma of an Illinois
Congressman's Constituent.


Congressman's Constituent.
An Illinois congressman is now 60
ing about the corridors Of the capitol
wondering what is going to happen to
one Of his constituents. Last spring he
was requested by the said constituent to
exercise in his behalf ono Of the func-
tions of - statesman-to wit, to send
him some garden seed from tho depart
ment of agriculture. The member has
tened to comply. and contingent of
seed was at once dispatched to tho ILL
nois man. They went, of course, i'll a
government envelope or envelopes by
mail, with tho usual legend, $500 pen
atty for private use"
In duo course tho congressman, to
show his interest in tho welfare of his
constituent, wrote to him asking if the
seed had been received and if they had
grown allright The constituent replied
that they had been planted and had
come up finely, but" said lie in his
letter, what shall do with the stuff
l have raised? notice there is penal
ty of $500 for private use, SO / don't
like to take any chances -
This was q construction put upon it
which the congressman had not before
thought of, and the more he thought of
it tho more he wondered what would
happen to that constituent in Illinois,
and he is still wondering. Washing.

The LONDON sTAeBERs.
An Epidemic of Insanity Which Take. the
Form of IIomici,lnl Mania.


Tho strange epidemic of insanity
which prompts its subjects to stab stran-
gers, usually women, i'll the streets OF
London has not yet ended. and the popu-
lar NERVOUSNESS in several quarters Of
the city continues One of the most
startling cases occurred OH wednesday
in front of j fashionable store in Oxford
street amiG a large throng of shoppers
A young Man plunged his knife thrco
inches deep into tho back of lady and
then quietly waited until the police
camo and arrested him. Tho prisoner.
who had good reputation, declared in
court that he was unable to account for
his action. He said that strange, ire
sistible impulse to stab some one seized
him suddenly, and he acted upon it at
victim till that moment.
The police have been watching two or
three weeks the person they believe to
be the mysterious woman i'll black whose
stabbing others of her sex put Kensing-
ton and other parts of the west end i'll
terror for weeks, and whose murdcrous
work / described in these dispatches IL
month ago. Tho detectives havo been
unable to obtain sufficient evidence to
warrant her arrest, but outrages from
this source have ceased of late so their
suspicions We're probably well founded.
This amazing contagion of the homicidal
mania continues to be subject of seri-
GUS discussion both by physicians and
laymen. Professor Forbes Winslow, tho
great expert in mental diseases, takes
occasion to urge radical change i'll the
lunacy laws. The great specialist also
says:
In the case of person who kills an
other i'll the street without motive q
certain congestion of tho brain and rush
of blood take place, If any ono were to
hit him on the nose, q blow which would
cause the loss of blood, it would afford
instant relief, and he would no longer
loe actuated by tho impulse to murder.
These ordinary homicidal lunatics, who
are sano Oh tho surface, are tho most
difficult to deal with You may talk to
them for four hours, and they will ap-
pear perfectly rational, yet they will
suddenly 80 out aud attempt to kill tho
first person they meet The typical
homicidal lunatic, unlike the man who
is afflicted with q desire to commit sui
eide, is incurable "-London Cor New
York Sun.
