direct descent from one of the officers who
came from Normandy with William the
Conqueror.
Living in the same house with Mr.. Bor-
den and his wife were Miss Lizzie A. Bor
den, his youngest daughter by former
marriage, and an only servant, named
Bridget Sullivan. Miss Borden's character
stood high She was we'll educated and
refined, and appeared TO have special af
fection for her father. Stepmothers are
not usually popular when they come into
a family of grown up children, but the
second Mrs. Borden appears to have been
regarded as q mother by the two daughters
of her husband.
Although very close In money matters,
Andrew J. Borden met all his obligations
to the penny and was never known delib-
erately to wrong a man or to ignore just
debt. There was nothing In Mr.. Borden's
house to excite the oupidity Of a robber,
for, with his customary care, his fortune
was either invested or in safe banks, and
his household belongings, while comfort
able, were Of the simplest kind. Why,
then, any one should wish to murder this
man and his wife could not be OWNED at
the time, and the chances are the reason
will remain unknown until tho day Of the
last judgment
Between the hours Of 12 and on Thurs
day, Aug. 4, 1899, Mr.. Borden's neighbors,
who were numerous and within easy reach,
heard cries Of alarm coming from the Bor-
den mansion. Mrs. Adelaide B. Churchill,
the nearest, DR.. s. W. Bowen and Miss
Alice Russell, all of whom lived less than
a hundred yards away, heard Lizzie Bor-
den's cry for help and ran in that direo-
ton.
They found Miss Borden in state Of
great excitement. She had just sent the
servant, Bridget Sullivan, to summon
help. She had told her friends that it was
her fathers habit to sleep on the sofa in
the sitting room for an hour or two after
the midday meal. She talked with him
for few minutes before he dosed of, then
left him and went to the barn, some 30
feet back of tho house. When she returned
ten minutes afterward, she found her IA
ther lying dead on the sofa In about the
same position he had been in when she
went out. His head had been crushed in
by blunt instrument, and his face and
clothing were covered with blood.
The people who had responded to Miss
Borden's call In their turn added to the
cries Of alarm. Throngs crowded about
the house, and physicians and officers came
in. Soon they made another discovery
In an upper room, where Mrs. Borden had
been evidently making up the bed, she lay
dead, face downward, on the floor. That
she had been murdered WAS evident at q
glance. Blood covered the carpet, and 1t
seems to have splashed in spray over the
ceiling and walls.
In the presence Of this double tragedy
the strongest men became excited and the
coolest lost their heads, but all were i'm

1t was most remarkable to see what a
regulated system of roads the inhabit-
ants of Possession had arranged. From
the beach a broad main track led
straight into the middle of the island,
and from this secondary roads went out
to all parts, the whole forming a net
work of roads apparently ruled by
most civilized department. With beak
and feet the penguins had carefully put
away most of the pebbles and stones
from their footpaths, and where snow
covered the grounds the roads had by
constant use become SO smooth and so
neat that Macadam in all his glory
would have acknowledged himself beat
en-. The most curious thing of all was
the way in which the penguins seemed
to maintain order in these paths. Cur
rents of penguins were continually NOV
ing from and toward the beach. While
the fat new arrivals always kept to the
right, the thin penguins, which were
moving off to the continent, always kept
to the left, and never saw any fighting
among them. The colony evidently
formed one peaceful community. &C. E.
Borchgreyink in Century.

weight and Quality unImpaIrsd.

A man at one of the hotels the other
night told an interesting story Of how
the freighters in the far west used to
supply themselves with whisky. He
said that some years ago, when all
freight ON the frontiers was hauled in
wagons, he happened to make trip of
several hundred miles with a train Of
wagons carrying merchandise to remote
stations. Nearly every wagon contained
one or more barrels of whisky.
"The first night out noticed" said
he, "great activity around the whisky
barrels. The wagons each had hatchet
and gimlet. They would knock up a
hoop, bore hole, draw all the whisky
they wanted, then put about as much
fine gravel in the barrel as they had
drawn out whisky, drive a plug in the
hole, and put the hoop back in place.
~ learned afterward that the barrels
were weighed and the whisky tested be-
fore it was turned over to the freighters,
and that when it arrived at its destina-
tion it was again weighed and tested.
The gravel supplied the weight and
bulk and the quality remained the same,
and this was why it was used instead of
water to supply the place Of what had
been taken out. "-Louisville Courier
Journal

Publishers and Librarians.

The future Of the publishers work
for higher standard Of literature de-
pends largely upon the Libraries and Ii
brary associations. Larger library funds
and better methods Of distribution will
make tire next generation of scribblers
better fitted to scribble. The books
which puzzle publishers the most are
those which few people could use to
great advantage. If we publishers could
be assured that 500 public Libraries
would buy them, it would be possible for
us to publish many books which are now
refused, but which would be IN demand
by scholarly reading public, now not
able to buy them. Out Of 1000 libraries
in this country only about 700 have
buying income, and Of these perhaps. 100
can take these books which the scholars,
who would use them with great benefit,
can take Here in New England you
are doing your full share in this direc-
tion of catering to the most scholarly
taste Of readers, but many of you lack
funds, and what we need all over this
country is better understanding Of this
need and library endowments which
shall make it possible for us to publish
these works that would be of benefit to
libraries and to the very best class Of
readers. MIR. G.. H. Putnam to Massa-
chusetts Library Club.

never wavered in her fidelity or condolences.
At the preliminary hearing the accused
woman pleaded not guilty, after which she
was taken TO the Taunton Jail.
On Nov. the case was brought before
the grand jury of Bristol county, and aft.
or devoting week to the hearing their
finding was an Indictment against Liz
Sie Borden for the murder of her father
and stepmother. Bail was refused and
Miss Borden remained In Taunton Jail
until the 9th of May 1993 when she was
taken to New Bedford and arraigned be-
fore Judge J. W. Harmon of the superior
court to plead to the indictments. Her
plea in each charge was mot guilty"
In addition to Mr.. Jennings, ex.Govern.
or Robinson Of Massachusetts was re-
tained to assist In her defense.
According to arrangements already
made the trial Of Miss Lizzie Borden com
menced at New Bedford on the morning
Of June o, 1893, Ii months to day from
the time the murder had been committed.
AS is the custom in New England in such
cases the court was opened by prayer.
The three superior court judges who
presided were Chief Justice Albert Mason
and Associate Justices Kaylor Blodgett
and Justin Dewey. Although the Judges
had decided that no outsider should be ad-
mitted to the courtroom, the curiosity
was so great that people flooked to New
Bedford from all over the country, and
nearly all the great papers in the Union
were represented by correspondents The
doors were open to the public after the
first day.
The case was so ably managed by the
commonwealth that on the tenth day those
ho h.I rI 10 IL -
mony were convinced that the finding OF
the jury would be against Lizzie Borden.
On the eleventh day Mr. jennings opened
for the defense, and his speech on this oc-
casion must take rank among the ablest
forensic displays Of the New England bar
He was ably seconded by ex- Governor Rob.
iDson, who, though his reputation had
been established as an orator, excelled Oh
this occasion all his former efforts.
In all crimes Of this kind the question
Of motive is the ruling one. 1t was shown
by the defense that Lizzie Borden had
abundant means; that ON the death of her
father, who was 20 years Of age, she would
inherit her share of the estate, and that,
although her relations with her stepmoth-
er might not be said to have been affec-
tionate, they were at least cordial, so that
there was no incentive for the perpetration
Of the crime. The response of District At
torney Knowlton gave that gentleman a
celebrity, particularly with the profession
outside of New England. Mr.. Justice
Dewey summed up with remarkable abil-
ity and Fairness but IL was thought by
those who heard him that his charge was
favorable to the accused.
Thirteen days after the trial began the
Jury retired, and after being absent an
Of not guilty.
Lizzie Borden left the court a free WON.
an, and since then has been living with
her sister In Fall River and other parts of
New England, but the murderer of her IA
ther and stepmother remains undeteoted,
and the chances are never will be known.

How to Test Water,

Into a perfectly clean bottle, having
a stopper of ground glass, put 8 ounces
of water to be tested. To the water add
10 grains (by weight) of pure granulat-
ed sugar. Cork tight and set In win
dow, exposed freely to light, but not to
the direct lays Of the sun. Do not dis
turb the bottle and keep the tempera-
ture as near 10 degrees F. as possible.
II the water contains organic matter,
within 48 hours an abundance of whit
ish specks will be seen floating about,
and the more organic matter the more
specks. In week or ten days, if the
water is very bad, the odor Of rancid
butter will be noticed ON removing the
stopper. Tne little specks will settle to
the bottom, where they will appear as
white, flaky masses. Such water should
not be used for drinking purposes.

poisons and one of the safest q criminal

Following the murder the remaining
members of the Borden family were con-
tinually shadowed by the police.
At this time Miss Lizzie A. Borden was
80 years of age, member In good stand
ing of the Congregational church and an
active participant in all Its charities. Miss
Lizzie seemed to care but little for society.
She had class in Sunday school and took
an active part In the Woman's Chris
tian Temperance union. John V Morse,
against whom suspicion never for an in
slant pointed, was a man Of good family,
who seems to have been unfortunate in
business and whom Mr.. Borden regarded
as a friend rather than as an employee.
During the investigation it came out
through Miss Emma Borden that the rela-
tions Of her sister with her father and
stepmotbAr had not been of the most ami
cable kind for some years.

Lizzie Borden. Her calmness and self
possession were even urged against her in
Aooence, till at last, In obedience to popu-
lar clamor rather than because of any evil
dence they had collected, the authorities

yiction OF the murderer Every olew that
promised a shred Of hope was carefully
followed up. On the Tuesday before the
murder, and about O'Clock In the morn
ing, horse and buggy came to a halt be-
fore the Borden mansion. In another
buggy sat young man who was employed
In house across the street from the Bor-
don residence. There were two men In
the strange vehicle one OF whom rang the
bell of the Borden mansion and was seen
talking with MIR. Borden for some time.
He was seen TO re-enter the buggy In a
hurry and TO drive OF. After much search
these men were found and showed that
they had good business reasons for visit
ing Mr.. Borden, with whom their rela
tions were q the pleasantest kind.
