 Alleged Wife Poisoner.

Alleged Wife Poisoner.
 Batavia, N. r., July s.-In the trial of Howard Benham, accused of killing his wife by giving her prussic acid early in January last, Samuel Elliott, drug clerk. testified to-day that Ben ham asked him how much prussic acid 1t would take to kill a dog. The wit ness then continued: T said tea spoonful Then he asked to see some of the acid I took him back to the prescription counter and showed him the bottle He held it up to the light and looked at it.
 What did he say?"
 "He said, it's innocent looking stuff.''
 Did he purchase any prussic acid of you?"
 "Yes sir; about a week before last Christmas. Mr Watson and MT. Ben- ham came in together. They came around to the prescription desk where l was putting up some medicine and we talked on general topics. Finally Mr. Benham came in and said he want ed an ounce of prussic acid. I asked him what for, and he made no reply.
 Pretty soon he asked for 1t again, and I again asked him what for. He said to kill dog. I asked whose dog, and he said his own. I put an ounce of the acid in a bottle, labeled 1t 'poison,' and gave it to him. He said he did not want an entry made of it on the books and that he would pay for it.
 Did he purchase more prussic acid?"
 Yes on December 26 he came in and walking up to the prescription desk said: Where in hell Is that prussic acid?' and picked up the large bottle. He said he wanted another ounce I asked him if the dog was not dead yet and he made no answer. I asked him again and he said the dog story was joke. I said jokes did not go in this business"
 Witness said Benham took the acid against his protests. Benham warned the witness not to register 1t or to tell anybody. He said if he did he would smash my face" He paid for the acid
 Benham's wife, who. it is alleged, was poisoned, was heiress to s40,000. She eIoped with Benham a few years ago.

were about to mlngle with each other
on holiday occasion.
But the volunteer military service is
and has ever been fraught with dis
putes and dlssensions. This inclina-
ton is more apt to make itself felt
when the question is one of divis-
sion of honors between two cities that
naturally indulge in spirit of rival
ry.
So far as the division of offices is
concerned, THE TIMES reiterates its
statements, made in a recent issue,
that Brunswick's claim for the navi-
gators place is founded on good and
reasonable grounds. Through the en-
terprise of the local Reserves, aided by
few of our public-spirted citizens,
the monitor Passaic was brought to
Brunswick, and is now in the keeping
of the First and Fourth divisions.
Savannah having no ship In her wa
ters the question naturally arises
Will not the navigator, if Savannah
man. have to come to Brunswick every
time there is a demand for fulfill
ment of the duties of his office?
Brunswick originated the Naval
Militia in the state of Georgia and
Lieutenant Aiken was the prime
mover in its organization. Any sug-
gestion OF giving the commanders
office to another would not only be
Indignantly rejected by Brunswick's
Reserves and the citizens in general,
but would, THE TIMES feels confident,
not be listened to by the state military
authorities.
However, the war is on. Each side
is standing firm in its POSITION and re-
fuses to yield an inch. The contest as
to the legality of the election of GER
tain Brunswick and Savannah officers
will doubtless be fought out before the
governor at al early day. The trouble
may result In the dlsbanding of the
whole battalion.

1T WAS REAL BEER.
A Drama That Was Played to a Wild,
hilarious Finish.

hilarious Finish.
Stage realism has just about reached
the limit in Williamsburg, N. Y. An
amateur dramatic company made up
largely of young men and women who are
wage earners has been giving series of
burIesoues on Sunday evenings in hall
that is a compromise between a dance
house and beer garden. The plays
have been written by members of the
company, and the stage setting required
realism to suit the critical audiences.
On a recent evening the action of the
play took place in the barroom of no.
tel. When the curtain went up, the
spectators saw well equipped bar on
the stage, with lifelike bartender, who
wore big diamond stud. The actors
came in through the family entrance,
and with them came two men carrying
a keg of the kind that frequently holds
beer. 1t had been tapped, and as soon as
it was in place the villain invited the
other actors to have drink.
A light amber colored fluid with froth
on the top was drawn from the key and
drunk with apparent delight. The spec
tators applauded, and several of them
remarked that it was good imitation
of beer. The villain told the barkeeper
to setemupagain.
After the second round the hero began
to disclose the plot of the play, when the
villain interrupted with an invitation
to drink again. This was clearly inter
polated, but it was none the less vel
come. 1t was cue for other members
of the cast, and while the amateur play
wright looked on with disgust the actors
interrupted his lines with frequent ad-
tournaments to the bar.
The audience wasn't quite sure but
this was part of the play until the sec
ond key was brought on and the actors
gave up talking to the audience and de-
voted themselves to ordering the bar
keeper to draw another round. Before
the end of the act it was painfully ap-
parent that real beer was being served
on the stage If there was a second act,
it was played behind the curtain, and
the audience didn't get any Of it.-New
York Sun.

ICEBERGS DRIFTING LOW.
Fierce Northwesterly Gales Have Driven
Them Far South.

Fierce Northwesterly Gales Have Driven
Them Far South.
Steamships that crossed the Atlantic
recently report having encountered much
ice and many bergs as far down as lati-
tude AZ degrees, near the easterly edge of
the banks. 1t is unusual for the ice to
drift SO far so early in the year.
The drift is accounted for by the I'M
usually fierce and persistent northwest
erly gales that have kept the Atlantic in
turmoil since the beginning of February.
These gales have forced the bergs from
the glaciers and carried them as far
south as they have ever been seen in
March.
The Hamburg American liner Fuerst-
Bismarck, between latitude 40 degrees
z minutes and latitude AZ degrees 8
minutes, passed two bergs the smaller
of which was 40 feet high and 1870 feet
long. On the same day she ran into a
heavy sea, which momentarily stalled
her. There were no passengers on deck
at the time, or they might have been
hurt, as part of the sea came aboard.
The French liner La Bretagne passed
a large berg in AZ degrees, which is as low
as any bergs have been seen for several
years. The Hamburg American steam
ship Pennsylvania steamed through a
large quantity of heavy pack ice and
sighted several bergs. The German oil
tank Burgermeister Petersen was forced
to steer south 25 miles from Iatituda 10
degrees 10 minutes to avoid the field ice.

Pretty Silver Things.

Some of the new designs in silver
ware are very pretty. Silver jelly tum-
blers and marmalade jar holders are in
openwork scroll patterns, are fastened
firmly to silver plate and have solid
cover. The glass or jar is placed inside,
and the jam spoon rests upon the plate.
Both worcestershire and tabasco sauces
are thought by epicures not to have the
same flavor if not taken from the origi-
nal bottles. Some quick witted person
has devised holder of filigree silver in
which to stand the bottle, thus making
the unsightly bottle an ornament.
