Elston was the priZe-winner. This was
denied later. 1t is quite we'll understood,
at any rate, as announced in to-day g

tempt to directly identify Paulsell by
these witnesses as one of the robbers, as
the robber was masked when he did the
work. An effort will be made, however,
to show that Paulsell was the person who
ran out of the doorway and was arrested
with bag full of gold in his coat-pocket.
PaulseIl's defense will be that he is the
victim of circumstances. He will intro
duce witnesses to prove that he was going
upstairs TO the faro game when he met the
robbers coming down; that they all heard
he cry of alarm raised by the people in
the gam bling-room. and that the real
ro' b,rs, fearing detection, thrust the bags
of gol in Paulsell's coat-pocket and made
good their escape. T1ey also left behind
Them their masks and their mackintoshes,
one of which was thrown loosely over
Paulsell's shoulders. 1t is argued by
Paulsell's friends that if he had been one
of the robbers he would have had the
macintosh on and that it would not
bave been hanging loosely over his
shoulders.
Paulsell was tried twice before on this
charge. On the first trial the jury dis
agreed, and the second time the verdict OF
conviction was set aside because the Su-
preme Court found fault with the instruc-
tions given to the jury by the trial Judge.

FARO DEALER HULSAPPLE.

The Most Important Witness Gives
Testimony In the Paulseli Trial.
w. e. Paulssll is once more on trial in
Judge Carroll Cooks court on a charge of
robbing Jimmy Carroll's faro bank at $40
Market street at o'clock or the morn ing
of February 16. 1894
James E. Hulsapple, a faro-dealer. was
the first witness. He testified that he had
possession of the faro bank on the night
of the robbery, and once more he told the
story of the entrance of the masked men
and how they ordered him to throw up his
hands, and how he acted upon that sug-
gestion. 1t did not vary from what had
been told on previous trials.
Nathan Allen, colored man, who was
in the room at the time, corroborated
Hulsapple's story.

LARGE INCREASE
FOR ONE YEAR

Only the First Ward Shows a

9OS Broadway, May IL
The census of the school children has
just been completed and shows some in
teresting developments in the city's pop
ulation.
According to general rules, the increase
IN the mum Der of children attending school
indicates an increase Of population of
about $500 since June of last year.
There are now 1857 children between
the ages Of and IL years. OF these 1941
are in the First Ward, 2753 in the Second.
1915 in the Third. 1877 III the Fourth, 962
in the Fifth, 1861 in the Sixth and 29OS in
the Seventh. In addition to these there
are 4768 children under years of age OF
the children attending school 1922 are
white boys, 6S33 white girls 92 negro boys,
SO negro gifls, II Chinese boys and 8
Chinese girls.
OF all the children Is, o55 are native born
and $40 were born abroad. During the
year the First Ward is the only one whose
return shows loss. That district had 156
children less than last year, while all the
other wards show gain of from l to 200.
In speaking of the census returns Su-
perintendent McCIymonds said: These
figures do not exactly represent the state
of affairs. There are other things to be
considered. The report shows that there
are 1868 children between the ages of
and IL who are out OF school, but this can
be easily explained. Children are not
allowed at school until years of age,
while children between and IL are
counted In the census. Then again many
children are forced to be bread winners
in these hard times. The father can't
find work, the children can, therefore
they must contribute to the supper. of
the family. The children attend night
school, perhaps, and 80 continue their
education. There are only eleven more
boys than girls in the school, and the Chi
nese population shows no increase what

FREE TO EVERY MAN.
THE METHOD OF A GREAT TREATMENT
FOR WEAKNESS or MEN.
WHICH CURED HIM AFTER EVERY
THING ELSE FAILED,

Painful diseases are bad enough, but when a
man is slowly wasting away with nervous
weakness the mental forebodings are ten
times worse than the most severe pain. There
is no let up to the mental suffering day or
night. Sleep is almost impossible and under
such a strain men are scarcely responsible for
what they do. For years the writer rolled and
tossed on the troubled sea of sexual weakness
until it was question whether he had not
better take q dose of poison and thus end all
his throubles. But providential inspiration
came to his aid in the shape of q com bination
of medicines that not only completely restored
the general health, but enlarged his weak,
emaciated parts to natural size and vigor, and
he now declares that any man who will take
the trouble to send his name and address may
have the method OF this wonderful treatment
free. Now, when l say free mean absolute y
without cost, because l want every weaken,
man TO get the benefit of my experience.
! am not a philanthropist, nor do I pose
an enthusiast, but there are thousands of me
suffering the mental tortures of weakene
manhood who would be cured at once coul
they but get such q remedy as the one thai
cured me. Do not try to study out how can
afford to pay the few postage-stsmps necessary
to mail the information but send for it anu
learn that there are few things on earth
that, although they cost nothing to get, are
worth fortune to some men and mean a life
time of happiness to most OF Us. Write to
Thomas Slater, box 2283, kalamazoo, Mich,

LimIted Autonomy, If Cuba VIII Submit
Uncle Sam Mediator.
WASHINGTON, Dec. eat has been
learned from an authoritative source
that Secretary Olney and Senior Dupuy
de LONE, the Spanish minister. have
practically terminated the negotia-
tions on the Cuban question, which
are to be submitted to congress when
it convenes on January s. The terms
of the agreement are based on the re-
cent official communication from
Premier Canovas, addressed to the sec
rotary of state
Premier Canovas says Spain cannot,
of course, as a self-respecting nd re-
spected nation, stand before the world
as having been coerced into measures
by the United States. She has freely
granted all she now offers. and that in
the face of rebellion. But she accepts
the good offices of the United States to
act as mediator and to guarantee to
the insurgents amnesty and the en-
forcement of the new reform law
which she is about to proclaim in
Cuba The form of government Of
fered is. the Spanish statesman de-
clares, the limit of independence
which can be granted to a
province by any nation without abso-
lutely severing the bond of union with
the mother country Autonomy, as
enjoyed by the Canadians, can never
be granted in Gu ba- What Spain is
willing to grant the insurgents, if they
lay down their arms and what she
asks the United States to guarantee is
an act which provides for a council OF
administration, which shall control all
matters pertaining to the commerce of
the Indies, and all estimates upon the
general taxation and expenditures OF
the island, as well as its general home
government.
