Contagious
Blood Poison.

Mr.. Frank B. Martin, who is engaged
In the jewelry business at 926 Penn
sy1vania Avenue, Washington City,
where he is well and favorably known,
was victim of that worst form OF dis
ease-contagious blood poison. He
realized that his life was about to be
blasted, for this terrible disease has
baff1ed the skill of the physicians for
ages, and they have never yet been
able to effect a cure. His mental
despair can better be imagined than
described.
In recent letter he says: about
four years ago 1 contracted a severe
case of contagious blood poison, and
it was not long before l was in terri
bic condition. I Immediately placed
myself under treatment of two of the
best physicians in Washington city.
Their treatment, which I took faith
fully for six months, cost me just three
hundred dollars, and left me worse than

One of the most delightful functions of
the social season in Wichita was that
given yesterday by Mrs. John ]. Nc
Namara in honor Of Mrs. George j.
Hartman who is soon to leave for the
republic of Mexico, much to the regret
of a host Of friends, not only in this city,
but all over south central Kansas. The
fact that Mrs. Hartman is going to
Mexico suggested to Mrs. Mcnamara
the idea Of decorating her beautiful
nome Or North Lawrence avenue with
Inc pretty colors Of the sister republic
red, white and green. These decorations
Tere seen everywhere as we'll also as
uther things suggestive OF life in the
iand OF the ancient Aztics. Among the
latter was a piece of statuary-a mantel
rnament-representing a bull figh1..
The principal amusement provided by
Mrs. Mcnamara was a guessing contest
= the faces we see-which was full of
life and fun. This diversion consisted Of
an array of photographs or pictures of
well known characters and the two per-
sons Identifying the most of them were
the winners and received as prizes two
beautiful spoons made Of Mexican silver
and Mexican design.
During the entire afternoon Bahize' s
full orchestra furnished some splendid
music and among the played were some
pretty Mexican fandongos. This music,
among the palms that we're included in
the adornments, was very suggestive of
the land Of romance. Refreshments
were served at the conclusion of the
guessing entertainment, and being serv-
in the Mcnamara home it is unnecessary
TO compliment them.

Sees Slight Prospect for Any Financial Leg
islation at the Approaching Session of
Congress-His Doubts as to any EncOur-
a.sment Being Given the Cubans

Washington, November 24.-When
asked today to give his opinion as to
the probability of legislation affect
ing the currency during the approach
ing session of congress-, Senator Teller,
who has just reached the city said:
Il do not believe there will be In
legislation looking to the substitution
Of bank notes for greenbacks and
treasury notes, which appears to be the
favOrite method of currency reform,
so-called, advocated by the supporters
of the gold standard. l think it very
doubtful whether the advocates OF the
change can agree upon the details or
such legislation, and bankers will
naturally hesitate to increase the issue
of bank notes in sufficient quantity to
AXE the place of the entire volume of
~greenbacks and treasury notes, es-
peccially in view of the fact that the
redemption of bank notes must, to
satisfy the demands Of the currency re-
formers, be in gold"
Senator Teller said he considered it
quite certain that the president would
make some recommendation upon the
currency problem to congress-, but he
was of opinion that the suggestion
would be in general terms as In ms
inaugural message, and that the pres
ident would leave the details to con-
gress.
The senator expressed doubt as to
whether the administration would take
any step looking to the encouragement
| of the Cubans in their war for indepen-
dence. Il Think" he said, THAT con-
| gress can settle the Cuban question by
recognizing the belligerent rights of the
Cubans, and that should have been
don long since. I believe n house

| it during the special session If that
| measure is brought before it, but it is
| quite doubtful whether it will be allow

KILLED WITH 1 SflLBTTO
TESTIMONY OF THE CORONER IN
THE THORN MURDER TRIAL

The Body shows . Kaifs Wound Under the
Fifth Rib Which Frustrated the heart.
Thorn Possessed Of such = Weapon-A
Numbe Of Witnesses Examined In the
Case Yesterday-Ar. Howe's
mens Of the Line of Dsfense-To Put the
Crime on Mn. Mack
New York. November s4-The trial OF
Martin Thorn for the murder of William
G~uidensuppe was continued in the
Queens county court today. A fortnight
ago Mrs. Mach created a sensation by
going on the stand and accusing Thorn
OF having killed her former lover. Guild
ensuppe. Since that time the defense has
changed its base. and. as Mr.. Howe said
in court today. he defendants lawyers
will now endeayor to prove through
Thorn as the principal witness that Mrs.
Mack herself committed the crime.
The early part OF today's proceedings
was entirely taken up with evidence to
prove the corpus delictL- Coroner Tuthill,
during his examination, stated that the
cause OF death was a stab wound be-
tween the fifth and sixth ribs, which
penetrated the heart. Later in the day
the prosecuting attorneys, through a fell
low barber OF Thorn connected him with
the possession of a stiletto. the blade OF
which was over six inches in length. The
district attorney tried very hard TO get
this witness to testify that Thorn had
spoken of his relations with Mrs. Mack
and Guldensuppe, but lawyer Howe was
equal to the occasion, and although Mr..
Youngs was assisted by Mr.. Olcott. and
advised by Surrogate Weller in the for
nation OF his questions the court in
variably sustained Mr.. Howe's objections.
Some of the witnesses examined today
reside in Woodside, and they told Of the
visits of a gaily dressed woman who APP
peared in the vicinity of the cottage with
a man in light colored cloths IN the
day OF the alleged murder. June 18th.
They had also seen a man wearing dark
blue clothes about the house, and on
the day in question he was seen by one
witness to go in and out of the house
Thorn as the man in dark clothes and
two Of them identified photographs OF
Guldensuppe as being representations of
the man who had worn the light suit.
None of them, however, had seen any
traces of the latter after he had enter
ed the cottage on that Friday morning.
Lawyer Howe requested the court to
have Mrs. Mack produced, in order that
she might be identified by the witnesses.
The request brought about a legal argu-
ment, and finally Mr.. Howe was compell-
ed to swear out a writ compelling the
sheriff to produce her. Mrs. Mack was
brought into court, after the midday re-
cess, looking much paler than when she
appeared two weeks ago in the same
court. The prisoner did not pay much at
tention to her, as he was deeply interest
ed in the evidence which was being ad-
duced at the time.

Of the spectators was gratified at the

San Francisco, November 24.-No
credence is placed by the authorities
here in the alleged confession Of Blan-
Their, or Forbes, made in the Meridian,
Texas, Jail, just before his suicide that
he murdered Blanche Lamont, and
Minnie Williams, in addition to Mrs.
Langfeldt. 1t is recalled, however, that
at the time of the killing of Mrs.
Langfeldt, about Is months ago, the
suggestion was advanced that Blan-
the had murdered all three, it being
claimed tina there were certain points
of similarity in the three murders. At
the time of the Langfeldt murder, Dur
rant had already been in Jail for a year
ard the police secuted at the idea Of
any one but the prisoner having COM
mitted the crimes. The alleged con-
fession Of Blanther will probably prove
a powerful weapon OF defense in the
hands Of Durrant's attorneys who are
utilizing every available pretext for de-
laying the execution Of their client.
