A Statesman Who Was willing

A sta'camnn Who Was willing to
Give Up What lie Had.
"Thcre are those who say unkind
things of the late Dan Voorhees," re-.
marked a prominent Republican from
the State of Indiana, but whatever
may be said, It is political and not per-
sOnnl. for the man had one side to his
nature that the whole world could ad-
mirc. and that part of 1t which knew
did admire and love as well. 1t was on
this account that when he died there
were many who shed sincere and sor-
rowful tears for his loss. They did not
know him as politician and United
States Senator, but as man and
friend.
II remember an instance showing his
kindness. and also showing one of the
reasons why lie was always poor He
had gone down the railroad some thir-
ty or forty miles from his home to de-
fend case In court, which lie had very
little thought of getting any money for.
though the litigant had plenty OF prop
erty. He won the case, and. much to
his surprise. his client gave him 500,
which was also pleasant to have. as he
had loaned to various applicants what
little money he had brought from home
with him. He pocketed the hundred,
and, after paying his hotel bill. start
ed to walk lclsurely to the train. due
in half or three-quarters of an hour.
On his way he was ovcrtaken by for

ask his legal advice. free. of course. In

that much time to pull himself out,
which he was sure he could do. VoOr-

man. giving him such advice as he
thought was the best. and all ut once
he broke out into a hearty laugh.
What's the matterI asked the far.

Education Is playing sad havoc with
the teeth of modern generations. So an
experienced dentist in the west end says
and he ought to know Formerly deoayed
teeth were generally attributed TO secret
fondness for bonbons, but the idea Is, it
appears, quite mistake In fact, sugar
is rather nourishing than otherwise. The
truth is that the ancient sturdy square
Jaw of the English race is changing
through lessons and book learning to an
angular or V shape which presses the mo-
lars one upon the other, does not give
them room to grow and will in time pro-
vent some of them cutting at all. Indeed
this catastrophe Is not infrequent already.
In many cases the original teeth are be-
coming less in number than they ought to
be, and often the "wisdomers'' fail to ap-
pear This in an educated jaw is lam
entable. The new facial form is, accord
ing to the dentist, much cultivated by la
dies, who find that it is popular among
gentlemen. The latter like women with

orally carries with it pearly but very frail
teeth. II the specialist be right, this proc
ess of selection, aided by further lessons
and more study, will in the course of

They Knew Ma.

The train had stopped for few minutes
at station out on the plains, and two or
three barefooted little boys and girls had
their backs against the depot and their fin
ters in their mouths, while they stared at
the passengers.
Suddenly q boy Of about 10 years dashed
round corner Of the station and called to
his brother and sister:
"You. joey! Ma says If you and Maggie
don't come right straight home she'll
she'll-well, forgit what, but she'll do
it, sure, for you know what ma is when
she gifts started. So you'd better git home
straight off"
Joey and Maggie evidently knew what
ma was when she ''got started" for they
started homeward as fast as their bare lit
tie feet would carry them.-Youth's Com

he expects to come down on Sunday and
burn these things up. There was no in
surance on these goods and of course
Waite wanted to burn them up and they
were his sole means of support.
Here Is another case whore the state
has failed to show any motive for this
fire, and when the opportunity was also
absolutely missing.
And one more thing, gentlemen, about
the clothing which the man wore who
was setting these fires. We have shown
to you that the suspicious person wore a
light suit of clothes and Mr.. Waite, we
have shown you, had no light clothes.
1t seems to me that an almost impossi-
BILE task was set before us in the begin
ming OF this trial, but by great good fort.
une we have been able to show Waite s
whereabouts on all of these days. Did
City Marshal Sylvester and Detective
Brady and Prichard realize what a task
they had set us when they got Waite to
sign that alleged confession that he had
set these fires on all of these dates six
months beforep
Did they know that Waite was in mod
crate circumstances md that he could not
afford to employ competent counsel?
Did they know that this man was with
out rich or influential friends to aid him,
and that there was chance here of win
ming big reward? Did City Marshal
Sylvester know about this reward being
offered? He has told you that he did not,
and yet the announcement of this re ward
was posted in the police station and had
been there in plain sight for months. Yet
he has told you that he never saw it and
never knew that reward of any kind
had been offered.
Mr.. Heckbert went on to speak of the
hard work it had required to work up his
testimony for the defense and he hoped
the jury would give it the best Of their
attention and not settle this case in thei1
own minds until they had weighed ii
carefully. With great deal of feeling he
spoke of Waite's wife and children, of his
aged mother who was 80 distressed at the
trouble of her boy and when he finished
speaking at 6.10 o'clock there were not
many dry eyes in the court room.
The court Immediately adjourned until
this morning at ten O'Clock when the
county attorney will make his closing
argument. The judge will probably charge
the jury in the afternoon and the case
will be given to the jury about three
o'clock.

and it is now down here in the vault of
the First National bank. There was no
secrecy. He knew Mr. Hadley was in
these parts. 1t was talked over freely, and
it resulted in the statement I have made
to you.
He saw her on Friday night and on Sat-
urday he sent her the note in which he
referred to her feelings and he did call
Saturday night. He was received in the
parlor. He went into the hall.
Instead of such an interview being
given he expressed best wishes. He
wished her happiness said that he hoped
she would enjoy hotel life and they shook
hands and parted the best of friends. He
knew that she was going to Boston. There
was no concealment in the slightest de-
gree.
She went to Boston by boat. Her
father went to the cars with her. They
parted with the understanding that her
mother would come on Monday Her
mother came Monday on the train, leav-
ing Auburn at 10. 20 a. M.
Mr. Melcher went on the samessstrain,
and standing by her chair, he sent Louise
a message. The message was this:
"Tell Louise that all is right between
us. ," These are the facts and we can
establish them, and if we do we shall be
entitled to your verdict.
/ AS to the interview that the plaintiff
says he had with Mr.. Dingley in refer
ence to the man from California. That
interview never took place.
The interview that did take place was
in the bank on July 7th. To this Mr.
Dingley will testify.
| The first witness for the defence was
Mrs. Ruth NJ. Dingley, mother of the
defendant. She said her daughter is
thirty-one years of age. Her daughter
was engaged to Mr.. Melcher January 1st.
No time was set for the marriage The
first she knew of trouble between her
daugh ter and Mr.. Melcher was on Satur-
day, June 10, when she told her of the
scene with Mr.. Melcher in regard to the
publication of the marriage in Auburn.
She said her daughter told her Mr.. Mel
cher used ungentlemanly language to her.
Mrs. Dingley was unable to give that Ian
guage.
The cross examination of Mrs. Dingley
was by Mr.. Libby. Mrs. Dingley said
the arrangement for her daughters mar
riage with Mr.. Hadley was arranged one
afternoon at the Dingley home when she,
Mr.. Hadley, Mr.. Dingley and Miss Ding
ley were present. Mrs. Dingley stated
that on the Saturday before her daughter
went to Boston Mr.. Melcher went to her
house and in leaving he said to Louise,
the daughter, ave are the best of
friends" He wished her happiness in
her new home.
Mr. Libby said: did you ever hear
your daughter tell Mr.. Melcher that the
reason he would have to wait was that
there was man in the house who came
to see her father about a lumber deal he
had had with Il. II. Cobb, and that her
father wished her to hear the converse
ton in order to protect his interests?'
Mrs. Dingley-'I did not hear it.
Mr. Libby-"Was that the reasoni"
Mrs. Dingley-''It was"
Mr.. Lib5y-'Was there a man in the
| house?''
Mrs. Dingley-s' Yes, Mr.. Hadley." a
Mr. Libby-Was there any other mani"
Mrs. Dingley-"No."
Ibid Mr.. Hadley have any lumber deal
in which j. l.. II. Cobb was interested ?"
Mrs. Dingley-''No, that was not trues"
At this point court adjourned until to-
morrow morning.
