Sensational Developments Predicted for
the Defense.
SAN FRANCISCO, Gala, Sept. 9.-An
evening paper prints q sensational story
about the defense which will be offered
in the trial of Theodore Durant for the
murder of Blanche Lamont. The state
ment is credited to person connected
with the defense. The alibi will be
strong, but the defense has witnesses to
show that Durant not only did not com :
nit the murder, but will indicate who
did it. There will be more than one
implicated in the murder.
Witnesses will testify that they saw
the girl enter the church on the fatal
afternoon with certain man and at
that time a second man was in the
church There the defense will rest it's
inquiry. 1t will not sttempt to prove
that these parties did commit the MUIR
der. The statements as to this are 80
direct that they will leave no ground
for the prosecution to stand on, 80 far
as Durant is concerned"

THE report that the bastleship Indiana
would be dry locked at Nova Scotia has
caused much comment as to the alleged
lack of facilities in this line by the
United States government. The new
dry dock ct Port Roysl is said to be
ready for use. but the bar in the harbor
shuts off safe and easy access. This
defect ought to be remedted at once and
arrangements made for doing all work
10 this line at home, instead OF going
elsewhere.

at each other through that fence. One
day they both came at the same moment
to a hole in it, big enough to let either

STANLEY'S SKATES.

Turtles Are Not Usually Seen on Ice, but
This Is Said to BE True Story.
Stanley was learning to skate. but he
found it wasn't as easy as it looked.
Brother Paul could go across the pond
in about two seconds, but poor little
Stanley got tired before he got half way
over.
His ankles turned, and he tumbled
and tumbled, and bumped his head.
and lost his hat, and almost lost his
temper besides.
81 most wish my birthday present
had forgot to be skates, cause I'm hurt
SO all over" he said as he got up slow
ly from another fall.
81 guess I'll take my skates off and
slide" he thought to himself. So the
straps were unbuckled, and the skates
were fastened together. Then how he
did run and slide over and over again
1t was ever so much nicer than skat-
ing, and he didn't fall once. He went
from one end of the pond to the other.
and then the dinner bell rang.

he took his seat at table.

swered Stanley. 'Oh, DEAR he ex-
claimed, 81 forgot my skatesl They're
on the pond. left them when went
sliding. Can I go and get them this
very minute, mammal"
Mamma said yes, and away he ran as
fast as ever he could.
When he reached the pond, his skates
had disappeared from the place where
he had laid them, but a little distance
from the shore Stanley saw something
black.
Maybe the wind blew them," he
said, and then he went, one, two three,
slide-straight to the very spoil And
what do you suppose he saw? A great
big turtle had grabbed one of the leath
er straps in his mouth and was slowly
dragging Stanley s skates over the ice.
"Why, you wicked turtleP' exclaim-
ed Stanley excitedly. 81 m going to get
my papa!' And sure enough he did in
a trice.
Papa cut the strap with his penknife,
and Mr.. Turtle lost his skates.
81 wonder what he was going to do
with them?" asked Stanley thought
fully.
''Perhaps he was going to learn how
to skate, said papa, smiling.
perhaps he was, answered Stanley
But Mr.. Turtle walked quietly out of
sight and never offered one word of ex-
PLANTATION, and Stanley and papa and
are still wondering about it, for this is
true story. Margaret Dane in Youths

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Feb. 12.-Colonel
Robert Ingersoll in an interview today
said that the financial condition of til is
country is "Bad, bad 1t could hardly
be worse" he added, sand l don't think
it will be much improved until we have
had one or two good crops througout the
country, and change of administration.
l have not any confidence in the Demo
cratic party to bring the country out of
its present condition. The president and
congress are not going at this thing the
right way.
1T is easy enough to keep our gold
balance in the United States treasury up
to the required $1OO,OOO,OjO, or even
$2O0,OOO,O0O of reserve. Why don't they
go at it like France does? Issue bonds
in smaller denominations, down to So, or
even So, and then go to the people, the
common people, with them. Don't take
them to the bankers and capitalists in
$500, 200 and larger denominations.
"Let the people have chance at them,
and | am satisfied that the treasury
would be in condition to meet all de-
mands made on it. and the credit of the
United States would be upheld. The
resources of this country are great Our
laboring people are quite as able to make
such investments as the peasantry of
