from the spring whea. section. Weather cond-

regarding the future of the cIop. Wheat fields
are said TO be fouling rapidly. A few days sun
shine Will change this condition.

THE MYSTERIOUS
WOMAN In BLACK
Miss Lizzie DeKalb Makes Another Con
fessi0n.
SEEKS to EXCULPATE HERSELF
Admits That Sho Was Out Riding on
the Evening That Mrs. Kaiser Was
kiiied--But Denies all knowledge
ofthe Crime that was Contemplate.

Norristown, Pa, Nov. 29.-Lizzie De-
Kalb, the mysterious woman in black
of the Kaiser murder case, made a
statement at the county Jail here today
in the presence of j. L. Hale Jenkins,
her counsel; District Attorney Jacob
A. Strassburger, Attorney James T.
Holland and Chief of Police Rodcn-
baugh, admitting that she was out rid
ing with James a. Clemmer on the
night Of October 2S, 1896, when Mrs.
Charles o. Kaiser, jr., was murdered.
but denying that she had any fore
knowledge that the crime was TO be
committed, or that she knew anything
whatever about it until the fact of the
murder was known to all the world.
The woman's statement will be made
public in due course OF time. From
those who heard it made, however 1t
has been learned that in 1t she seeks
only to exculpate herself from knewl-
edge of or participation in the murder
'and that she duplicates no one. Her
counsel says it is merely a statement
of what will be claimed in her de-
fensc. and that with it or despite it.
he expects to see his client eventually
go free.
Attorney Jenkins lays great stress
upon the fact that this is the only
statement Miss DeEalb has ever made,
and that it must not be called n con-
fcssion, for she admits no foreknowl-
edge of the crime"

Pullman 80 cents, and half berth was
assigned to him. Then he kicked oft his
boots which We're of surprising length,
turned into the berth, and, having an
easy conscience, was sleeping like a
healthy baby before the car left the depot.
Along came another passenger ana paid
his 80 cents. In two minutes he was back
at George Pullman.
There's a man in that berth of mine" )"
said he, hotly, and he's about ten feet
high. How am | going to sleep there, I'd
like to know? Go and look at him."
In went Pullman-mad, too. The tall,
lank mans knees We're under hts chin, his
arms were stretched across the bed and
his feet were stored comfortably-fOr
him. Pullman shook him until he awoke,
and then told him if he wanted the whole
berth he would have to pay 81.
MY dear sir" said the tall man, "a
contract Is contract. | have paid you
90 cents for half this berth, and. as you
see am occupying II. There's the other

he uses with skill.

more than satisfactory as Mephisto-

Valentine, gained great applause by his
fine singing. Mile. Toronto. a debu-
tante, who sang Siebel, has a fine voice
and is handsome young woman.
Every box and every seat in the house

\ good auccdote is told of the two cele-
braIed barristers. Balfour and Erskinc.
Balfours style was gorgeously verbose.
Erskinc's, on the contrary, was crisp ami

Erskine noticed that Balfour's ankle was
bandaged.
"Why, what's the matter?" asked Ersk-
inc.
Instead of replying, Il fell from a
gate" Balfour answered IN his usual
roundabout manner:

BEAT A PURE FOOD LAW.
A Conflict OF Laws Exercised in the
Prisoners Behalf.

Stroudsburg, Pa, Nov. ga second
knock out has been given to the Pure
Food State commission of this state.
The commission brought suit against
Charles Brown and Learn & Waas for
selling impure vinegar. The attorneys
for the dealers asked that the indlct-
ments he quashed, on the grounds that
an act of assembly passed in 1897, sub
sequent to the time of the Defendant s
arrest, repealed the acts under which
they were taken uD.
Judge Craig said in his decision: 1T
Is impossible for us to sustain this in
dictment."

The ship had lain becalmed in tropical
sea for three days, Not breath OF air
stirred the rlirror-like surface of the sea
or the limp sails, that hung from the
yards like drapery carved I'm stone.
The captain resolved TO wait no longer.
He piped up all hands on deck and re-
quested the Passengers TO also come for
ward.
II must ask you ALL" he said. ITO give
me every match you have"
Wonderngly the passengers and crew
obeyed.
The captain carefully arranged the
matches in his hands as each man handed
him his store, until all had been collect
ed. Then he threw them all overheard
but one, drew cigar from his pocket,
and striking the solitary match on the
mainmast, endeavored to light il.
In an instant furious gale swept over
the deck, eAtrgushing the match and fiji
ing the sails, and the good ship Mary Ann
sped through the waves on her course.
