never in the history of Mrs. Pinkham's

All soups can be preserved in q good
condition for some days by taking great
care, when freshly made, to skim well,
and to remove every particle of fat from

The following afternoon, some three
or four hours earlier than they were ex-
pected, Mrs. Waddilove, Miriam and Sc
lima arrived at the Manor house.
As he stood watching his men stack
ing the hay, Mr.. Waddiloyewasi informed
that his wife and daughters had come
home, and, without an instant's delay,
he hurried to greet them. The three
ladies were tired after their journey,
and answered his various inquiries with
but scant courtesy. Then, as Madge
did not appear to welcome her, her
mother became extremely irate.
MY dear, she has gone for walk, :"
her husband said, soothingly. "She--
she will not be long"
"a walk alone at this late hour? You
are strange person to have charge OF
a young girl, james. Isuppose Madgc
has done exactly as she pleased while l
was away? But that will soon be
changed. Out for walk alone"
She is not alone, DEAR" he began,
knowing full well she was with Gil
bert, and wondering how he should
break the news OF her engagement to
her mother. "She's with-a friend"
"Well, this sort of thing must be put

Notes.
They Were Acquitted.

Frank Turner and Arthur Bland, the
young negroes who were placed on trial be-
fore Judge Bradley in Criminal Court No.
2. charged with the murder of John Minor
at dance in South Washington the 18th
Of last November, were acquitted late yes
terday afternoon.
The government claimed that Minor, who
was a doorkeeper at the social function,
was called out on the street by Bland, un-
der the pretext that a woman desired to
see him. and that Bland then melted Turner
to kill him by stabbing him in the neck, the
injured man dying almost instantly. The
defense. conducted by Attorneys Thomas
c. Taylor and Andrew Y. Bradley, showed,
however, that Bland had nothing to do
with the killing, and also showed that
Turner struck the fatal blow In self-de-
Tense. The court thereupon instructed the
jury to render a verdict Of not guilty as
to Bland. and instructed them that Turner
could be found guilty of nothing more
than manslanghter. II he was guilty at all.
After celebrating about twenty minutes,
the jury returned a verdict of not guilty
as to both men. and they were discharged
from custody.
