Mr.. Oysters Declaration.
Il do not said Mr.. Oyster hesitate to
say that l have declared war against the
Violators OF the law. l furnished money to
assist In the matter, and for this reason:
My reputation had been assailed, and ap-
peaied to the authorities for protection
me local internal revenue officials told ME
they had no money to investigate these
cases; then went to Maj. Moore and
asked Tor protection. After he had looked
into the law of the matter he said if if was
being violated ii was his duty to furnish
detective to make an investigation He
SAD however. that he had no money from
which to draw, and some one would have
to furnish it. l asked him il it was Gus
tomary to do work in this way and he
told me it was. i consented to furnish the
money. There is no secret about il so far
as L am concerned. l am a legitimate
dealer and my reputation was attacked: so
1 took these steps duty to myself and
people"
Testimony offered.
After Judge Cole had instructed the jury
that while Mr.. Oyster had the right to
explain his connection with the case, it
was not evidence. Mr.. Birney called several
witnesses to testify to the price of oleo-
margarine.
In his own behalf the defendant testified
that he never knowingly sold or permitted
to be sold oieomargarine which was not
marked according to law. Several witness
es testified to purchasing the stuff from the
DEFENDANTS store, but they declared that
1t was alp avs properly marked. One of
the witnesses, a young cOlored man. stated
That he was the defendants only employe
at the time, and that he had been particu-
larry cautioned by the defendant to always
see that the stuff was properly marked.
The testimony concluded, the case was
argued by both Mr.. Birney and Mr. Davis,
the latter claiming that the law is an Of
lehsNely drastic measure, passed by Con-
Sress only to catch the granger vote. Mr.
Blrney remarked that the law is a whole
some one, needing no defense, and that ii
IS measure passed only in the interests of
the public good

Some Sentiment at the New York Dem

SARATOGA, N. Y, June 24.-The
Democratic state convention isin session
today. 1t will declare that the present
gold standard in the country should be
preserved until such time as there can
be obtained an international agreement
for bimetallism.
At the same time the leaders of the
party will postpone the selection OF
presidential electors until fall conven.
ton of the party.
The two facts are significant and
taken in conjunction seem to point that
the party leaders, while protesting that
the gold standard should be maintained,
are fearful that the national convention
will not heed their cry and that their
electors, if elected now, might be put
in a false position of being pledged to
vote only for a presidential candidate
who the more nearly represented the
financial announcements of the party
at this convention. The delegates-at-
large to be selected are Roswell p.
Flower, David B. Hill, Edward Murphy
ard Frederick r. Coudert. There is q
s:rong undercurrent among the dele
gates here for silver.

GEoReETowN, British Guiana. June
23.-Mr. Harrison, The official who was
in charge of the laborers who were
opening q road from the Barima to the
Cuyuni river within the Schomburgk
line, when they were stopped by force
of armed Venezuelans on June 10, has
been arrested by the Yenezuelans under
fresh orders from Caracas and carried
to the Venezuelan station opposite
Uruan, the Venezuelans claiming the
right to arrest foreigners ON the left
bank of the Cuyuni.
The arrest of Mr.. Harrison has aroused
the colony of British Guiana, and the
population demands that Great Britain
take immediate and decisive action in
the case.
When the Venezuelans first stopped
the laborers from proceeding with the
work, orders were sent from George
town to Mr.. Harrison not to offer VIC.
lent resistance, but to withdraw under
protest.
A Washington special says: No off.
cial advices have been received in
diplomatic circles of the arrest of Mr..
Harrison, as reported in the above dis.
patch. Surprise is not expressed at the
conflict of authority, as the opinion is
that such difficulties may be expected
so long as the boundary question re-
mains unsettled. The affair is similar
in many respects to the Uruan incident
of year ago.

RALEIGH, N. O., June 24.--The Demo-
cratic state convention will meet here
tomorrow. Il will declare for the
immediate free and unlimited coinage
of silver at the ratio of 16 to /. Only
three OF four Of the 96 counties are for
the gold standard.
The delegates will be instructed not
10 vote for any man for president who
has not been free silver advocate all
the time. There will be no split either
In the state or district delegations. They
all will be unalterably for silver. Boies
and Bryan are most talked of and there
is a growing sentiment for Senator Tel
Ter, though the machine leaders are OPP
posed TO his nomination. DIR. J. ]. Mott,
chairman Of the silver party, will be
here and he is trying to have the con-
vention endorse Teller.
An attempt will be made to have the
convention postpone nominations for
state officers until the middle of
August in order to grasp the national
situation and if Teller should be the
nominee of the Democrats and Popu-
lists to undertake to get all the free sill

the White Metal.
ATLANTA, June 24-The Georgia
Democratic convention which meets at
Macon tomorrow will, it is said, send a
solid silver delegation to Chicago and
adopt no instructions as to the candi-
dates. OF the $50 delegates that have
been chosen, not 90 are opposed to the
free and unlimited and independent
coinage of silver. In only one district
do the gold men stand a chance of
electing their delegates to Chicago, but
the convention will certainly adopt a
unit rule which will make it solid
vote for silver.
There has been no talk among Demo.
Gratis as to a candidate for the presi.
dency. The leaders in the silver move
ment have made it point to keep
down all possibilities of division by
eliminating talk of candidates. There
will be no effort to instruct for any cam
didate. The general feeling is that the
man should come from some one of the
Middle states and Boies and Matthews
are most often suggested.

face Of the water and the lower to within
q quarter Of an inch of the improvised tin
basin. The three remaining holes are for
the reception of three smaller pipes OF
macaroni, intended for the spouts Of the
fountain, which are gently curved, a re.
suit obtained by first placing them in
lukewarm water, then bending them (as
in the drawing) and drying them in the
oven.
The rationale Of the intermitting foun.
tain is as follows: The air penetrates to
the reservoir by the central pipe and ar.
rives above the surface of the liquid, on
Then the water emerges through the three
pipes, and, falling into the tin dish, reach
es the final receptacle.
But as the hole in the tin box lid is
smaller than the sum Of the other three
apertures counted together, the level of
the falling fluid iu the former gradually
mounts until the lower end of the air sup.
ply tube is closed, and while the water
continues for time to flow rarefaction
in the reservoir occurs, until the moment
comes when the weight of the inclosed col
umn of water and the counterbaiance of
the outer air are equalized. Then the out
flow stops, but only for time.
The water naturally quits the box lid
through tho exit provided, and thus once
more exposes the macaroni air pipe to the
atmosphere, and thus the water begins to
flow again as though nothing had happen
ed. And SO on intermittently, till not a
drop of water in the reservoir remains.

Things Told About the New Light.


The expensive Crookes tube has been
considered indispensable in the Roentgen
process Of photography, but the Drs
Doremus of New York and others have
obtained similar results with an ordinary
Holtz static machine, the brush rays be-
ing found to possess the X ray penetrative
power sufficiently to pass through Opaque
substances and have Photographic effect.
A longer exposure Is necessary than with
Crookes tube
Professor Pupin Of Columbia college
says thai the amount Of ozone generated
In the atmosphere about the machine
where photographs by the new process are
being taken is very great. 1t keeps one
fresh and exhilarsted. In the room where
the process is going on 1t smells as sweet
as it does just after thunderstorm and
the air is purified
The possibility that the new light might
bring back life or resuscitate animals in
which life is apparently extinct from
drowning, electric shock or chloroform-
ing has been suggested by the peculiar ex-
perience Of Mr.. Max Osterberg while pho
tographing mouse. The little animal had
been kept under water for Is minutes and
had then lain without sign Of life for
the mysterious cathode rays 1t revived,
much to the investigators astonishment.
In subsequent experiments at the College
Of the City Of New York, however, no sue
| cess has attended efforts to revive mice
and snakes, about whose demise there
could be no possible doubts, with the new
light.
Mr.. Edison arrived at the conclusion
that glass is not the best medium for the
transmission of the light. He has found
oelluloid to be most easily penetrated by
| 1t. Thick black rubber comes next.
Strangely enough, the rays refuse to fully
penetrate glass. Edison uses ordinary in
oandescent light bulbs in preference to
Crookes tubes and obtains better results
than with the latter.
Not the least startling Of items reported
from various quarters apropos Of the new
| photography is the announcement that
| Professor Salvioni of Rome has invented
an apparatus enabling the human eye, by
means of the Roentgen rays, to sec through
anything which these rays can penetrate.
