LONDON. July 2S.-Before the LORD
Chief Justice, Baron Russell OF hlloW,
Baron Pollock and Justice Hawkins, IN
The Queens Bench division of the High
Court of Justice, today, the trial OF DR..
Jameson, Major st. Jonn Willoughby,
Colonel R. Grey, Colonel H. F. White,
Major R. White and Captain Henry F.
Coventry, charged with violation OF the
neutrality laws in invading the terri
tory of the South African Republic,
was concluded. The jury found all the
defendants guilty of violating the for
eign enlistment act.
Jameson was sentenced to fifteen
months Imprisonment without labor,
Major John Willoughby to ten months,
Major White TO seven months, and
Captain Henry F. Coventry, Colonel R.
Grey and Colonel H. F. White to five
months each.
Sir Edward Clarke asks the Courts
permission to move for a new trial.
When the Judges returned Sir Edward
Clarke said that in view of the verdict
rendered the defendants refused TO ask
for new trial and expressed desire
TO settle the case now. In passing SEN
was given on evidence which no rea-
sonable man would be able to disre-
gard. All the defendants, he added.
were men of position and intelligence,
holding positions under the Queen, and
their crime had the gravest conse-
uuences, including death to some and
injury TO others, and the future conse-
quences of their crime no one was yet
able to foresee. His lordship then pass
ed sentence upon the prisoners.
DR.. jameson, who had hitherto hung
down his head, looked up proudly when
the sentence had been passed, and the
other defendants stared hard at the
Lord Chief Justice.
Soon after the sentencing formalities
had been completed the wardens of
Holloway prison appeared and took up
positions on each side of the prisoners
This was the bitterest moment of all
for the raiders, as up to that time they
had been treated with the greatest
courtesy, and had in fact been made
heroes to certain degree. But when
the elbows of the prison wardens touch
ed those of the aristocratic freebooters
they seemed to realize that the strong
arm of the law had knocked all the ro-
nance out of the Transvaal ffasco, and
that, come what might in the shape of
easy treatment in prison, they were
convicts in the eyes of the law and the
eyes of society, to say nothing of the
military authorities, who it is believed
must now take action looking to de-
priving the prisoners of their commits
sions in the British army This was the
last chapter in the trial of ''Dr. Jim"
and his associates.
The court was ordered cleared; the
audience filed slowly out into the street
and the prisoners were escorted to Hol-
loway prison. There was absolutely no
demonstration in the court room when
the prisoners were taken away, or out
side when they were escorted to the
Jail

PHYSICIANS FIND
All People Not Alike.

A letter carrier said his wife liked coffee
breakfast, 1t was too bad for the doctor
to order her to discontinue 1t. He told
her that her bad complexion, dyspepsia,
nervousness and occasional palpitation of
the heart all came from one cause, and
that was coffee drinking. The good man
went on further to say: My child, IL you
were as strong as your husband and had
the miles of outdoor walking to do that
he has daily you could drink one cup of
coffee, or perhaps two, at breakfast and
dinner without any very bad effects, but
the same poisonous alksloids exist in
coffee as are found in tobacco, whiskey,
strychnine and morphine. There is not
so great proportion of them In coffee
us In the other drugs, but sufficient
amount exists to seriously injure anyone
whose constitution is little below par.
All of these drugs can be used for time
by perfectly healthy people, but IL their
use is persisted in long enough the hu-
man body finally gives evidence Of the
effect OF the steady poison and many poo
ple who do not know this fact die because
OF their unnatural habits. II you could
use hot drink in the morning made
from the nourishing grains that nature
has provided for the use OF man, II would
satisfy your appetite and fstten your
body.
A wholesome. delicious hot drink of
the kind that old doctor referred TO Is
found in Postum Coffee, made from
grains by the Postum Cereal Company,
limited, of Battle Greek, Mich. II brews
the rich color OF Java or Mocha, has a
grand fragrance and the pungent taste
demanded by all coffee drinkers. No
poisonous alxsloids are found here, and
man Is only safe when he sticks to ma
ture's food, furnished by the Creator,
prepared in q number Of different ways,
TO be sure. Rudy health and red blood
will follow the discontinuance Of un-
natural drinks and the substitution there
for OF the Cereal food drink. Its Use will
tell the facts more plainly in the body
than words can be made to express.
Grocers furnish II and experience teaches
that II goes about three times as far as
coffee.

THE SHERIFF'S MISTAKE
How Matters We're Amlcably Settled
10 Satisfaction Of All Concerned.
Wrong Man With the Right Name Had
the Little Affair Squared.

A leading hotel proprietor, well known
lawyer and deputy sheriff, had queer
emotions Monday evening. SO did man
from Pawtucktt. Early in the day the
lawyer ascertaine that the chap he
wanted to settle a bill OF about $500 wss
registered at the Benedict House In Paw
tucket. lie owed the bill for board in
big hotel in this town. Hero was the
chance OF lifetime right at hand and
writ was issued for the guest at the
Benedict, who had registerd ell right.
A deputy sheriff was found forthwith
and he went to Pawtucket after bis man.
He found him, but the man seemed TO
have bad memory for bills. lie pro-
tested that he never slept in the nth
story of any hotel and neglected to pay
for any three square meals day he was
ever fortunate enough TO get. This
seemed like the old fashioned forgetful-
ness and the sheriff was doubly sure that
he had the debtor. Besides the name
in the writ and the one on the motel
register were identical.
The deputy sheriff did not like to arrest
when the Benedict ii ouso guest declared
he had lot of business TO attend to
and couldn't possibly visit Providence on
any account.
"Ah, hs," said the sheriff, "you don't
want to go, eh."
"Nay Nay"
"Tut, tut, tut you'll have to-" said the
d.s.
Well, OF courss the victim had TO-,
and he was taken to the hotel when IL
was learned that the sheriff hau the
right name, but the wrong man. He
didn't owe goo. There was a row of
course.
The hotel man who saw 5000 vanish,
the lawyer and the sheriff who realized
they were in n bad fix, all tried to paeify
the man from Pawtucket, but he
wouldn't pacify. He declared that he
would have redress and would cause a
warrant to be issued which would event.
ually prove that the deputy sheriff and
the LAWYER didn't know their business
and would have to settle, in good
round sum for their Ignorance.
Well, the upshot of the controversy
was that all hands visited the bar to-
gether ana had drinks.
Then they mad some more.
"What again? Cert"
The sheriff was the finance committee
| and paid for high priced drinks like a
stock broker who bought wheat before
| the rise.
"Ssh'ay lez GO to tn tho.a-cher,
| wha'cha s'sh'ay.
"Nu' K'lum'ia wher' we'ker
| s'chmoke."
| And they went, and they had surpel
| after the show, and the man from Paw
| tucket struck the Benedict house earl,
! Tuesday morning satisfied with the sheriff
and his employers and with his visit t.
this city.

Stories of the Working of
Cheap Lodging Houses.
How a Suburbanite Was
Treated in New York.
How a Policeman Would Have Mat
ters Arranged In This City.

A short time ago the people OF Proyi-
7ence learned something of the inner
workings OF what are generally known as
cheap lodging houses. This information
was given during the trial OF case
brought by q man who claimed he had
been tho superintendent OF "breakfast
mission" and who sought TO recover
considerable sum for salary alleged TO be
due him from the proprietor of this sup
posedly peneficent institution. The "su-
perintendent" did not recover the full
amount claimed, but his suit had at least
one important result in that it gave the
general public a peep "benind the
scenes" Somewhat unexpected as the
revelations made on that occasion were,
they became merely Insignificant whsn
compared with story that comes from
New York about an institution of the
same kind.
It appears that a day or two ago a
young visitor from the suburos found
himself in the metropolis with very little
cash. He did have half q dollar. and this
he gave to the keeper OF . cheap lodging
house In order to secure q room for the
nj yht. Then be went out and two hours
afterward no returned.
'srve just won 500 at faro," he said
to the lodging house keeper. "Come and
have dinner with me-" And IL was a
good one; It cost $780,.
"Here's your half II you're not going
to stay at the hotel" said the boniface
passing 1t over.
"Say, guess 'pll make the bank pay
for that supper" said the youth. "You
I'll let you know how come out. OH
This is easy"
II was was q little over an hour after
that when the young man entered the
hotel. All his gaiety had vanished and
he was plainly the worse for liquor.
He'd lost all his money, and started to
60 upstairs.
"Money nrst," said. the proprietor.
'sBut the oinner," said the young
man.
ssOh, that's private" returned the
other. The young man slept in door
way.
Speaking of cheap lodging houses re-
calls tho fact that tpere in Providence, 1t
il claimed, there are more of them In
proportion 10 the size of the city than
anywhere else In the country. The police
say there are too. many OF them and that
they draw to the city an undesira bic
crowd OF ioafers who annoy citizens with
their petitions for assistance. these fell
lows haunt the streets at night and on
frequent occasions have assaulted
citizens who have refused to comply with
their demand for money. The remedy
that one policeman who has to deal with
these troublesome mendicants suggests is
to limit the number OF lodging houses
snd then compel thorough inspection
Of those that are permitted TO do bust
ness. BY this method he claims the de-
serving poor would be able to obtain
shelter, while tho undesirable class of
floating mendicants would be quickly
driven from the city.

x-RAYS NOT ADMITTED.

An UnsuccessfuI Attempt to Intro
duce RadiOEraphs In n Case In Court.
From the Boston Transcript.
The trial of the $4,000 action of tort
brought by Gilbert Rexford, by his next
friend. against Frederick w. Rogers, trus-
tee. and the $4,000 action brought by
Wright Rexford, Gilbert's father, against
the same defendant. was ended this after
room In the first jury session Of the superior
court by Judge Hopkins directing the jury
to return a verdict for the defendant in
each case. The $4,000 suit was brought
for personal injuries Of an extraordinary
character to Gilbert Rexford. who is now
eleven years OF age, sustained in conse-
quence of falling down an elevator well in
the house Washington street, Cambridge
port. on December 26, 1883. where he lived
with his parents, who were tenants of the
defendant the owner Of the house. The
defendant denied his liability, claiming he
had violated no duty which he owed to the
plaintiffs
During the morning session, counsel for
the plaintiffs tried, but unsuccessfully, to
Introduce x ray photographs taken by doc
boy; and also to have the process explained
to the jury. This question was objected to
by counsel, W. l. Badger. for the defendant
and excluded by the court. At the conclu-
sion of the plaintiffs testimony. the counsel
for the defendant made q motion to have
the judge take the case away from the jury
because Of the want of any evidence to
show neglige ice on the part Of the defend
ant. The court granted the motion, and
case will probably be taken to the supreme
court on executions
