SPENCER AGAINST SPENCER.
The Dead Mans Deposition Admitted
as a Statement.

The case of Spencer against Spencer,
in Judge Van Dykes court yesterday,
was given unusual interest by the move
of counsel for the defendant in getting
before the court the deposition of the
late Ambrose II, Spencer. In the suit
brought by relatives of the late Am
brose H. Spencer TO upset the arrange
ments he had designed for property
settlements upon his wife, counsel for
Mrs. Anna p. Spencer yesterday scored
a point. The case. which has been on
trial for several days. has not been
exciting, the principal object of the tes-
timony on behalf of the plaintiff, Mrs.
Isabel Spencer, being TO show the
value of the different pieces of prop
erty involved in the litigation and the
endeaVor to make it prima facie. by
which the burden of proof would be
shifted from the plaintiffs side to that
would be compelled to prove that the
deeds had been properly made and the
transactions We're fair.
The court had made a ruling under
. which the burden was so shifted. but
| it was followed by surprise introduced
by Messrs. Lamme and Millikin. at
torneys for the defense. The deposition
during his lifetime was offered in evil
denCe. but the court ruled against its
omission. Then counsel for the de-
ferse offered it solely as a declaration
made by the late Mr.. Spencer, and MI
Lamme, on the witness stand, testified
that the document had been prepared
in his office at the request Of Mr.. Spen-
Ger. A suit had been brought by Bish-
| op 6, Co. attacking Mrs. Spencers title
to the properties in question ard Mr..
Spencer asked Messrs Lamme & Wide
if there was not some way in which
his declaration of the circumstances IN
der which the deeds We're executed
could be taken in case Of trouble after
mis- death. It was somewhat expensive
and Mrs. Spencer objected to the depo-
Stion being taken. but he insisted. and
it was done Questions We're propou0d-
81 TO him and he answered them. The
whole was reduced TO writing and he
| signed it in the presence of Mr.. Lanlme
| and himself. after first reading it all
ever. and it was then placed with thu

THE CUBAN RECRUITER
Is Still 10th to Produce His Commis
sion-His Lecture Tonight.

Colonel Nelson, who has been gather
ing recruits for the Cuban army in this
city for some weeks, ard who was en-
phatically denounced by Palma in the
telegram published in The Herald of
Friday, was still at his quarters yes
terday. In view of his promise made
Thursday night to show his commission
from the Cuban government the next
day The Herald representative again
called upon the colonel yesterday. His
feelings were apparently somewhat ruff
fed by what had appeared concerning
his methods.
When asked for sight of the commits
sion he again refused to show it.
But. colonel" urged the reporter,
you promised last night to show US
your commission today"
u know / did. but | will not show 1t
to YOU"
"Will you give reason for your sud
den change of mind. colonel?" was
asked.
NO. ] will not; simply refuse to
show it to you. that's all. But do not
understand why you have denounced
me a fraud"
The Herald has done nothing of the
sort; it simply printed Palmas mes
sage. and stated the facts as they were
found But if you know Palma. how
do YOU explain his denial and denun-
citation Of yourself?" was asked.
Yes I do know Palma we'll" said
the colonel. "and l cannot explain the
matter / do not understand it at all"
Have you received any money from
any of the parties going on this expedi-
ton"
NO; I have not received a cent
Nothing is to be paid until we leave"
The colonel further stated that he
should go ahead with his arrangements
as though nothing had happened. and
he would leave with his party for Key
West some time in the course of couple
OF weeks.

FEDERAL GRAND JURY.
The federal grand jury made its final
report yesterday and was dismissed.
The evening tribune. (Pawtucket, R.I.) 189?-190?, 1897-05-21

had an hour all to myself in Delphi
and thought over my day The drive
from Itea, the port of Delphi, is beautiful.
The road is perfect. 1t is French road
1t passes through olive groves, the like OF
which for vigorous life l have never seen,
or, seeing, have never marked, and then
begins the ascent along the zigzags which
furrow the face of the mountain. 1t re-
called to my mind the road from Giardni
to Taormina, the road from Palermo to
Monroale. A very modern dogcart, driv-
en- by a very modern French archeologist,
wieh very modern French girl at his
side, came bowling down the road at a
reckless pace. The awe of Delphi was not
yet upon us.
Then we reached large village, Chrysc
by name, which is, being interpreted,
Goldsborough-a corruption, it Is suggest
ed, Of the ancient name Crissa; not an un
natural corruption, II one remembers the
popular ISLANDERS against Delphi. Chryso
seemed larger even than it was. Chamber
ing fnr uphill, 1t waylays the traveller
three times, ana as wo travcrsed IL three
times, the children of the village throw
wild flowers into our carriages. When we
went down, must add, the Withholding
f n copper tribute reused the wrath Of
The youthful ncighbors of Delphi, and
other missiles than wild flowers were
hurled into the carriage that occupied
B. l.. Gilderslecyc in Atlantic.

RESOLUTION MAY DIE.
House Leaders viii Probably Delay Action II
President So Desires.

Washington, May 21.-President Nc
take action upon the Cuban resolution
passed by the senate for some time, and
perhaps not at all. The resolution will
not be sent TO him for his approval until
1T has been adopted by the house, and
whether the house takes ii up must be
decided hereafter. 1t is known that Mr.
Mckinley desires the postponement Of
final congressional action on the Cuban
question until the report Of Mr.. Calhoun
who is on the island TO investigate con-
ditions there. has been made.
Mr.. Hit, the Republican leader in the
house, said guardedly in the debate yes
terday that the adoption Of the Morgan
resolution at this time might embarrass
negotiations which the president has in
mind to secure the independence Of
Cuba, and although Mr.. Hit expressly
disclaimed that he spoke by authority,
IL was well known that he had been in
consultation with the president on Cuban
affairs. and his utterance was taken as
a reflection of the wish of the executive
The senate resolution can be brought
before the house only by special rule,
and Speaker Reed is known to be op-
posed to Its adoption at this time.
There may be much pressure brought
to bear. by the Republicans who think
early action on the Cuban question ad-
visable to have the resolution adopted
by the house, but so long as the leaders
consider that 1t may embarrass Presi-
dent McKinley's plans 1t is likely to lie
on the table.

CHINATOWN'S PHYSICIANS.
Burned Paper and Ginseng Root, Which
Bring Him Fancy Prices.


One Of the queerest shops in Chinatown
Is that OF q Chinese doctor who wears
large diamond rings and prescribes sharks
fms, birds nests and snakes tongues for
his patients. For prescriptions for indi-
gestiOn it Is his custom to charge his pa
tient 81.
/ When that sum has been paid, he writes
Chinese characters on q long strip Of pa
per. This he burns, uttering incantations.
The ashes he permits to fall into glass
of water which is given to the patient to
drink. This cure is said to work every
time, but n New York physician who has
examined 1t says 1t consists of nothing
more or less than the administration of
charcoal, long known to practitioners as q
cure for dyspepsia.
A much more expensive prescription
which this New York Chinese doctor puts
up for his patients Is ginseng There are
some species of this peculiar plant for
which the Chinatown doctor charges as
much 500 per pound.
Ginseng Is supposed to infuse new life
into him who takes it. To the devout
Cinnamon ginseng represents the fountain
Of youth, and for small part Of its pre-
cious wood he will often spend his last cent.
There are only three countries in the
whole world where ginseng is found
China, Korea and the United States. Hun
dreds of thousands Of dollars worth of GIN
seng are annually exported from this coun.
try to China, where it is in great demand
by the native doctors, although European
and American chemists who have exam-
ined it have failed to find that it possesses
any curative or medicinal properties.
In China the best ginseng comes from
Manchuria and sells for 500 per pound.
This is called the imperial brand. The
second grade is collected in Korea, while
the ginseng used by the poorer classes
comes from the United States.
The Chinatown doctor sells ginseng to
his patients at $50 to 800 per pound. He
insists Oh wrapping il up in red paper
bearing Chinese characters. An American
doctor who tasted some of il the other day
said it had the flavor Of Orris root and
that it's virtues, for which the Chinese pay
SO highly, are purely imaginary.-New
York journal.
