BESSIE STACEY'S SAD STORY
Not Morally Guilty of the TheftS
She Is Charged With.
Undue Influence of a-Young Man
Too Great to Withstand-Th
of Her Defense.

The case of Miss Bessie Stacey, who was
yesterday indicted by the grand jury for
the theft of various articles OF tewelry
from Harris & Shafer, is likely to fur
nish some exceedingly interesting devel-
opments, even before it comes up for trial.
The attractive per sonaIity OF Miss Stacey,
together with the social position of her
family, caused widespread interest in the
case, and there was much comment upon
its peculiar features. 1t was very gen
erally thought at the time OF the young
lady's arrest that there was something
back OF the case, and many people were
willing to accept the theory that the girl
was a victim of kleptomania. However,
that theory was not held by those who
knew her intimately, but another, which
is equally unique, has been substituted
1t can be stated on very good authority
that the line of defense which will be set
up by the attorneyin the case will be that
the girl was induced 10 commit the thefts
by the young man, Paul Crutchett, whose
name was mentioned during the police court
hearing. IL will be charged that young
Crutchett Observation-Disclosures overthe
mind of the girl, and because Of that in
fiuence she committed the thefts. This
line of defense will be fortified by large
amount Of testimony which cannot fail to
be of singular interest. One of the sad
features in connection with the case lies
in the fact that Miss Stacey has been for
some time engaged TO a young California
lawyer, who is at present in Florida. OF
course, all knowledge of his fiancee'
trouble has been kept from him. He viii
probably come to Washington some time
next week, with the intention of COM
pleting arrangements for MS marriage to
Miss Stacey.

INDUSTRIES In The DISTRICT
Commissioner Wight on the Deve.-
Opment of Manufacturing.
He Thinks the Reclamation of the
superb Site for Plants.

It is but natural that in his position S
secretary of the Board of Trade Mr.. John
b. Wight, now one of the Commissioners
of the District, should have given a good
deal OF attention TO the future OF Wash
ington as an industrial center. For this
reason his views on the subject are of
more than ordinary interest Talking &c
a reporter Tor The Times today Mr.. Wight
said:
The matter of the development Of the
District in manufacturing industries is one
in which have been greatly interested for
several years past. / fully appreciate the
importance of Washington as a residence
city Ii is fortunate that the lar Gest area
OF ground TO be occupied by residences
lies north and west of the city, because
perhaps the best place for manufacturing
establishments is I'd the opposite direction.
u have thought that the Eastern Branch
OF the Potomac could be utilized to great
advantage formanufacturingin with
out interfering in any way with the resi-
dence portions OF the city. The tremendous
fall of water coming down the Potomac
from the Great Falls has frequently been
sho wn TO he capable Diminishing sufficient
electric power 10 do a vast amount of
work.
IF the flats Of the Anacostia River
are reclaimed. as they cerjalnly should
be, first, from sanitary standpoint, and,
secondly. ror mercantile purposes, enough
ground could be made, after the manner
OF the Potomac Park reclamation, for the
establishment OF large numbers of manu-
featuring plants. To be run by electric
power. conveyed by wire from the Great
Falls This would do away with the
smoke and SCOT. which is the objectio u
able feature of manufa curing establish
ments. The surrounding country, which
is beautiful and fertile, would furnish
homes for the employees.
The Board OF Trade is constantly in re-
ceipt of applications from manufacturers
of a high grade, seeking to DO business in
the District OF Columbia. The site that I
have named touches the Pennsylvania
Railroad, the Baltimore and Ohio Rail-
road, and is in close connection with the
ocean.
1T is probably not known TO very many
people in the District that Washington
now ranks as fourteenth in the matter Of
population and manufacturing interests,
and twenty-seventh as regards volume of
business done. More than 81 900, 900 a
month are paid in wages, and over $780,
600 600 are invested in plants. all this
exclusive entirely OF any work done by
the United states Government. l am
heartily in favor of an extension of the
manufacturing interests, and in my opinion
the city would have a natural and de-
sirable growth because of its new attract

A doctor can tell you exactly what he
thinks is the matter with you. If he fully
realized just one great trutf. he would come
nearer 10 doing this. The thing he doesn't
fully appreciate is the fact that the man with
pure blood and good digestion can never
have anything very serious the matter with
him. If you get your blood in good condi-
ton, and keep it rich, and pure and whole
some, you will thereby cure almost any dis
ease with which mankind are afflicted A
sewer may be pretty dirty, but if you keep
continually flushing it with pure water, you
will eventually get it clean. The body may be
full of impurities, but in the natural course
of events these impurities will be excreted :
and, If they are not replaced by other i'm
purities, the body will become pure and
healthy. If you continually pump pure,
rich blood into a diseased organ, the disease
will gradually disappear and soundness and
health of the tissues will be restored
That is the theory and that is the actual
result of the use of Dr. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery. 1t doesn't make any
difference what your doctor calls your dis
ease, the Golden Medical Discover" will
cure it !; and il will cure il by making the
blood pure and rich, by stimulating the di-
gestive organs, invigorating the liver, and
by soothing and strengthening the nerves.
II is the most wonderful blood-maker and
fesh-builder that has ever been known. II
is the most successful medicine of its kind
that was ever prepared.
Sometimes in connection with the Golden
Medical Discovery " il is wise to take few of DR.
Pierce Pleasant Pellets. They are the only pos
tive and permanent cure for constipation, and as
long as constipation is present health cannot be
fully restored. Frequently the Pellets " are all
that are needed. One is gentle laxative and two
a mild cathartic. They are perfectly natural an
their action and cause no pain or gripping.

 On the Warren road, just beyond the corporate limits of Pine Bluff, is a camp of Gypsy horse-traders. For several days the Gypsies had in their employ a negro named Charles Springer. On Friday afternoon one of the Gypsey women came to the police headquarters and reported that she had been robbed of many yaluables She said that the negro who had been working at the camp disappeared Friday afternoon, and that her loss was discovered soon thereafter. The officers were given a description of the negro, and i'm mediately a search for him was be- gun. Saturday evening the officers located their man and arrested him. He is now in jail. All of the valua- bles were recovered. They con sisted of diamond ring, several breast-pins, bracelets, lockets, charms, etc.
 The police force is certainly de serving of the praise it is receiving on all sides. The members are wig liant, fearless and pains taking, and as whole, the force is most effec- tive.

ton at the court house door in this city under foreclosure proceedings at which time 1t was purchased by Preston 6 Bright, who have dis. posed of the same to the new pur- chasers. and the latter will take charge of their new pu chase in the course ef the next ten days.
 The new owners and directors have not as yet selected officers, but will do so in the course of the next few days, and we are reliably informed that the following gentle men have been agreed on N E Johnson, President; c. H. Tfiplett, vice-Presi5ent, and r. c. Bridges Secretary and Attorney.
 It will be observed from the names of the directors that by this deal the management of the new corpor- ation will come under the control of local citizens. A majority of the board of directors, Messrs Triplett Knox and Bridges, are citizens of Pine Bluff, while Mr. M. H. Johnson, the new President, is at present a citizen of Little Rock, but we learn will move with his family to this city and make Pine Bluff their future home. Mr Johnson is also prominently connected with the Little Rock Trust Company and will bring a large share of the business of that corporatior to this city, and will prove a valuable acquisition to Pine Bluff financial and social cir cles.
 On the whole, the change should be gratifying to all Pine Blufians
 The fact that the Water and Light Co. is owned and controlled by local citizens identified with the daily life and interests of our town, will in- sure a management in sympathy with our home people, and altogether result in much better and more satisfactory service.
 The GRAPHIC is also informed that the new purchasers will carefully investigate the conditions and pros poets here for an electric street rail way. and if, after full investiga- ton, they become convinced that an electric llne will prove at least a self sustaining enterprise, that they will put in an electric car line.
 h their efforts for the good of the city the new purchasers should have the sympathy and support ot the Pine B,u4 public.
