What Detective Grim Heard jackson
and Walling Say.


The jury and prisoner entered the court
room at 9:1. The prosecution began the
proceedings by calling Detective Cal. Grim.
Grim took the stand at $50. He was ques-
toned by Colonel Nelson. He identified all
the articles that have hitherto been pro-
duced in evidence. He also showed leaf
which he picked up on the ground near
where the body found. He testified to
having seen tracks on the banks above
where the body was found which seemed to
have been made by the rubbers that Pearl
Bryan wore. He was present when jack
SON and Waliing were arrested and was
also present at the private examination he'd
in the office of Chief Deitsch.

a principle, and In this case have no de-
sire TO make the experiment. In the coming

counsels shall prevail. With me there is no

MONTGOMERY, Ala, April H.-The Re-

will meet here tomorrow. The indications
now point to q split In the Republican con-

New Use for a ships Compass.

An inventor proposes to utilize the
compass of ship to warn the navi-
gators of the approach of danger. He
has constructed compass which is
regulated by chemical which will not
be affected by the magnetic force on
board the ship, but will be keenly SEN
sitive to minute symptoms from any
other magnetic influence exerted at
distance from the vessel up to possibly
two miles. This compass when affect
ed by the magnetism oscillates about
an eighth of an inch, so the inventor
asserts. When it is so affected the metal
connections on the rim of the dial plate
will close circuit, causing bells to
ring in the engine-room as well as in
the pilot-house and on the bridge.-De-
troit Free Press.

begin work. A trawl may be described
as rope many hundred feet long. to
which, at intervals of 3s inches, fish
hooks are attached by lines about two
feet long. There are 5000 hooks to the
average trawl, which is attended by two
men. Each man has 1900 hooks to bait
and care for. The rope is weighted to
sink to within few feet of the bottom
and is then buoyed. The trawl is gen
orally set late in the afternoon and
| overhauled in the morning.
If luck is with the fishermen 500 cod
may be taken from trawl. They are a
voracious fish and in Selling the bait
firmly hook themselves. 1t often hap
pens that the 5000 hooks may be over
hauled without securing more than so
fish, but again the catch may be 1880.
The boats of the trawlers look some
thing like an ordinary river skiff, but
are very buoyant and easily handled.
A schooner with 16 men aboard puts
out four travis and eight men. The
rest are left aboard to work the craft
and attend to the fish as they come in.

The klipspringer is kind OF ante

Abyssinia, and if South Africa sports
men are to be believed, he furnishes the
finest kind of venison. These animals
are about Al inches long and ~ inches
high. and the males have sharp spike
horns. sometimes five inches long.
These animals are remarkable climbers,
running on the tips Of their hoofs' ana
going up rock faces apparently as steep
as the side of house. The hoois are

mon their hind legs like the rabbit or

If the animals were to straighten them

Capital sport is to be had hunting
these animals, the proper weapon oelng
a 1855 rifle, or larger weapon. Inc
hunting is, of course, among the rocky

mountain sheep successfully would
find little trouble in killing them. The

SCANDINAVIAN TYPES.
swedes, Norwegians and Danes Con-
trasted.

Swedes, NOrweglans ana D"nc5 VII
trasted.
The term "Scandinavian" is convent
emit, but at best only broadly generic.
AS descriptive of Swedes, Norwegians
and Danes it is even loosen than the use
of "British" to describe the English,
scotch and Welsh collectively. We all
know that there is no Scandinavian
language, no Scandinavian nation, but
we do not so well realize that Sweden
and Denmark have different languages,
governments and traditions. To be
sure, Norway and Sweden, since 1914,
have constituted a dual monarchy, but
they are just as widely separated in
language and tradition as Spain and
Portugal, or as Russia and Poland. The
physical features of the countries-the
mountains, fjords and extensive coast
line of Norway, the level stretches, the
lakes and the regular coast of Sweden,
and the fat, sandy plains and islands
If Denmarl1-seem to find a spiritual
counterpart in the people themselves.
The typical Swede is aristocratic, as
sertive, fond of dignities; he is polite.
vivacious, bound to have a good time,
without any far look into the future.
Yet he is persistent and capable of great
energy and endurance. He is fond OF
music. In literature his best work has
been the lyrics and epics of Bellman and
Tegner.
The typical Norwegian is, above ali,
democratic. He is simple, severe, in
tense, often radical and visionary.
There lies an unknown quantity of
passion in him, capacity for high.
even turbulent endeavor, but rarely the
qualities of great leader. He, too, is
fond of music, but with dramatic ele-
ment. In his literature of this century,
even more than in his music, the dra-
matte predominates. The towering fig
ures of Bjornson and Ibsen, great in
both drama and novel, belong not mere
" to Norway, but to the world. The
Dane is the southerner of the Scan
1inavians, though still a conservative;
gay, but not to excess. lie is preemi-
nently small farmer or a trader, ready
and easy-going, not given to great risks,
but quick to see bargain and shrewd
in making it. His interests have led
him out from his small kingdom in all
directions, so that he, more than his
brothers to the north, has yielded to
foreign influences. His best literature
has been romantic.-Atlanta Monthly.

Both Were Amateurs.

Anyone who has ridden a bicycle
knows the irresistible tendency of
machine in the hands of a beginner
TO run directly at any living object it
meets. This inclination is stronger to-
ward other bicycles than toward any
thing else The first time the beginner
rides alone in the street his bike in
sists at darting at every other one that
appears, and no exercise of wit or judg-
ment can control it. People who have
no experience laugh at this and say ID
is all nonsense, but every person who
ever learened to ride will agree that
the total depravity of the ordinary BIZ
cycle is beyond comparison with all
other inanimate objects, and that its
combative instincts are highly devel-
oped. The other night, says Wash
ington correspondent, the wife of a
naval officer who was riding alone for
the first time came down a hill in the
soldiers home grounds at brisk pace,
and was congratulating herself upon her
success as a rider, when to her horror
she saw a gentleman upon wheel ap-
