gether considerable valuable property be-
longing to Captain Guy L. Edie. This rob
berry was committed Sunday night and the
property taken included two watches, a
revolver, sorne clothing and surgical In
struments. The prisoner has made full
confession of this burglary, and most of
the property has been recovered. In ad-
dition to this he has confessed to a rob-
berry in Georgetown and one in another
section Of the city.
Three big burglaries were committed in
Baltimore last week On successive nights

The HOdcarriers' QufcksfeD,


A North Side man tells this story. Last
week he stood IN front of his unoompleted
fiat building and chafed ard worried as he
saw the poky laborers 90 about their work
as If the place wasn't to be turned over
during the first week in May.
The men who carried In the brick and
tiling from the street were especially an
noying to the owner of the building They
moved about at sleepy and turtle-llke
pace and did not appear to be worried In
the least, when their slowness was the
cause Of delay on the inside work
While the North Side man was WATCHING
them in disgust an Italian with a barrel
organ halted Just across the way and he
gan grinding out lively march. He had
been playing for several minutes before
the North Side man observed the marvel
Gus enect of the music on the men who
were carrying the brick. They came Out OF
the building like circus horses in a grand
entree, hurriedly filled their hods and then
marched back into the building at double
quick stepping high. The owner of the
building went across the street and gave
the Italian quarter, in return for which
he played lively tunes for half hour.
During that half hour the laborers did n
half days work.
Next day the owner ran across another
italian and sent him over to the corner to
play.
The laborers didn't know what a mean
trick had been played on them.

READY FOR TRIAL,
Cooking Taken Back to the Charles
County Jail.


Special Dispatch to The Evening Star
LA PLATA, Charles county, Md, May %
Joseph Cooking is now IN jail at Port To-
bacco, awaiting trial, which will probably
take place next week, for the alleged muir
der of his wife and sister-in-law, Miss Daisy
Miller, at Hill Top a month ago. He was
brought back to the county from the Bal
timore Jail, where he has been for safe
keeping, and last night he was lodged in
Jail. Sheriff Wade and Deputy Sheriff Med
ley brought him down on the evening train
from Baltimore. and there was a large
crowd at the station to see him, but the
officers, with their prisoner, remained on
the train until they reached Port Tobacco
station, two miles below, and they were
met at the depot by another deputy and
driven to Port Tobacco. Instead of going
direct to jail the party went to the sheriff's
house, and had supper, and afterward Cock
Ing was taken over to the diIapidated lit
tie brick structure called a Jail, and was
made as comfortable as possible in the cell
In which the Everett murderers were con-
fired twenty years ago, when the people
OF the county were even more excited than
they were when they first learned of what
had taken place at the Cooking house last
month.
When Cooking reached jail he seemed
greatly relieved from the mental strain un-
der which he has been laboring since IT
was thought necessary to take him to Bal
timore to save him from Judge LYNCH"
and he expressed himself as being better
satisfied among his old neighbors and
friends than he was in Baltimore. His
quarters arc not quite SO pleasant as they
were in Baltimore, but at any rate he is
glad to get back. Then, too, he anticipates
an early trial, and ne seems confident of
an acquittal he thinks he will return to his
business. He was also anxious to see his
children, and 1t Is likely that Mrs Miller,
his mother-in-law, will call with the chill
dren this afternoon.
Judge Briscoe arrived here yesterday af-
ternoon, the other judges having reached
here several days ago. Cooking was to
have been in court yesterday, but for some
reason the sheriff did not go for him until
yesterday morning and so his arraignment
had to be delayed until today. His plea will
be mot guilty." and the prisoner will, it is
thought, ask for a trial by jury. Until ne
Is arraigned this afternoon it is not known
whether or not Cocking's counsel will ask
to have the case removed from here to an
other county.
The feeling against the removal of the
case from here is very strong, principally
because of the expense which would be in
Cured. Murder trials have been very ex-
pensive in the county of recent years and
the removal of the case from here would
cost more than the county can afford to
pay at this time, and some of the citizens
here, 1t is thought would favor summary
action rather than have the case removed
and the extra large debt incurred.

The Shakers Ideas of rledi=
cine.

Nowadays when goes to his doctor he is
usually told that he has some unheard-of disease
with a long name, and when he leaves the Office
he does rot know whether it is st. yit,s Dance or
nsumption that is gradually undermining his
health.
1t is therefore refreshing to talk with the Shak-
for their very simplicity commands confidence
and respect, and we have the further satisfaction
Of knowing that they have devoted themselves to
the study Of disease and its cure for more than
hundred years.
The venerable Old man whom the writer saw was
only too glad TO discuss his pet subject. He said
that strange as 1t might seem, very few doctors
realized that three-quarters of the most prevalent
diseases were all attributable faulty digestion
He then went TO say that child of average
Intelligence knows that putrid meat or decaying
vegetables poisonous, and must be avoided
and yet these same foods, even II taken into the
stomach in the freshest possible condition, soon
deconpose unless digested and absorbed.
In such the resulting poisons enter the
system, when aches and pains, weakness and de-
bility soon follow natural consequence.
1t recognition of this that led the Shakers
to devote their energies to the perfection of Il
product which would stimulate the digestive
gans and assist them to perform their proper work
The first symptom Of disordered digestion is loss
of appetite, and the Shaker Digestive Cordial is
wonderfully efficient In supplying any deficiency in
this respect at the time it relieves all dis
tIess after eating. Furthermore, carefully
explained by venerable friend 1t is absolutely
harmless.
Better evidence of the Shakers confidence in it
could not be found than IN the fact that they have
placed 1o-cent sample bottles In the hands Of all
druggists, assured that II tried it will produce
such immediate and marked benefit that it Will be
continued.

liberating some time a verdict was reached
The foreman Of the jury sealed it up in an
envelope. and this morning in answer to
Clerk Buhrman's formal inquiry. he stated
that the jury had agreed, and handed the
envelope to the clerk.
The verdict was for the company, at
least it so read, but, upon polling of the
jury, at the request Of Mrs. Conner 8
counsel, Messrs. Randall Hagner and W.

Michael Mccormick denied that it was

Comas that they asSented to it last even

canvas out into the field and cover 1t in an

then his father would come and criticise IT.
Some of these big swift things were shown
in the salon afterward The painters used
to contribute in one way or another ID the
fine old inn where we stopped, and the land
lord wanted young Daubigny to paint the
panel of a certain door. At last the painter

Pretty soon young Daubigny came down,

of the door and looked at it hard for
hour or SO. Then he got up and viewed IL

A Historic Cannon's Unmerited Fate,
From the San Francisco Call

cs
From the San Francisco Call.
Almost the only relic In existence Of the
battery that was established in this city
during the Mexican war is an old cannon
that IS at present doing duty as a curb
stone fender. At the time the battery was
constructed it was on the edge of the bay,
and near where the corner Of Broadway
and Sansome street now is.
When peace was declared the battery
was dismantled, and all the material OF
any use was carried away. For some rea-
son one cannon was left behind. carriag

Battery stl eet was cut through IL received
its name from the old fort, and the cannon
was rolled down to the edge Of the curb as
a reminder Of the old days.
How long it lay there is a question that
nobody can answer, for those who might
have done SO are all dead. At any rate it
Is known that patriotic drayman con-
cluded that the cannon should be taken
care of. He got a number Of volunteers,
and when the curb stone was put in the
crowd carried 1t to the corner and poked
it's muZzle down into a hole. It has re-
manned there ever since. The portion of It
that is visible appears to be in a good state
of preserv alton, but the chances are that
the other end Of it is only big lump of
rust.
