he had been unable TO attend the ses-
siOns and did not consider that he had
earned the money, therefore he re-
turned it TO the state.

MINNIE WILLIAMS COMPANION.
q San Francisco Woman Alleges It Was
Not Durrant. Bun Gibson.

Not Durrant. Bun Gibson.
SAN FRANCISCO, May VA very i'm
portant witness i'll the Minnie Williams
case has been discovered in Mrs. Schwait-
ger. She positively aftirms that on
April II, 1895, the day before the body
of Minnie Williams was found in the
Emanuel Baptist church, she saw the
unfortunate girl with the Rev. George
J. Gibson, on the Alameda ferry boat,
coming to this city. She says her atten-
ton was attracted to the person whom
she Identifies as the Rev. Mr.. Gibson,
because Of his clerical appearance, and
the further fact that he carried the girls
basket and seemed very solicitious for
her welfare. Mr.. GibSon's neck is III
what distigured by old scars, and Mrs.
Schwaitzer says she observed such scars
on Miss Williams companion, and they
served to impress the features of the
ma upon her memory.
Although Mrs. Schwaitzer is a resi-
dent Of this city, and for the past two
years has been aware of the fact that
Theodore Durrant is accused Of the
murder of Minnie Williams, her reluc-
lance TO have her name involved in the
notorious case in any manner, has pre-
vented her from appearing until now.
She explains that she thought her testi-
mony would not be necessary, but after
Durrant had been sentenced to death
and removed to San Quentin to await
the execution of the judgement against
him. she considered the matter carefully
and decided it was time to reveal what
she knew

THE LENS.
Great Glass For the Yerkes Telescope
shipped From Cambridge.

Great Glass For the Yerkes Telescope
shipped From Cambridge.
CAMBRIDGE, Mass, May 19.-From
Clark's lens works, Cambridge, has
been shipped i'll a special parlor car,
two disks which form the lens for the
Yerkes telescope, the largest lens ever
made. The car was attached to the
Chicago express.
This Yerkes lens is the largest and
finest in the world. 1t represents nearly
six years of labor, and completed is
valued at 500, 900. The glass came from
the factory of Mantois, Paris. France.
The lens is 4lla inches on the surface
diameter, and weighs 5l5 pounds. The
great lens consists of two separate
lenses of differing density and shape,
separated when in use by a space of
several inches. The outer one, which
comes in contact with the atmosphere,
is made from a perfect piece OF crown
glass, is double convex, 23-S inches
thick at the center and 3 of an inch at
the edge, and weighs 200 pounds. The
inner lens is made of flint glass, and is
known as plano-concave. 1t Is l l.S
inches in thickness at the center and
2 inches at the edge; it weighs $40
pounds.
The Care They Received.
Both lenses are adjusted in an iron
ring and cell and the total weight of
the glass and iron casing is 1000
pounds. The focal distance of the lens
is 81 feet. The packing Of the lenses
was one Of the most interesting fea-
lures in their history. First they were
carefully and smoothly wrapped in
flannel, sewed tightly at the edges,
then they were covered with several
thicknesses of soft tissue paper and
then wrapped in hard paper and en-
cased in a bed of cotton batting, silk
and curled hair in a strong box.
This box was mounted upon springs
and placed within a larger box and
packed with excelsior. The care. the
skill, the patience which have been ex.
pended in grinding the lenses is mar.
vellous. When completed the lens was
mounted in a temporary telescope tube
and tested for~5O nights and found per-
| feet. Had there been a deviation of a
SPIDERS strand it would have been use-
less.

coNsTIpArloN cuRED.~

Nothing will kill all the energy and ambition
in either a man or woman more effectively than
constipation. The bowels are clogged with poi
sonous matter that should be cast out. The blood
is soon loaded with impurities. The organs and
tissues in turn reluctantly accept these impurities
in place of the healthful nourishment they need.
The whole system is poisoned. 1t shows its
distaste for the condition of affairs very plainly.
The head aches. The skin becomes sallow and
the vision blurred. The mouth tastes bad and
the breath becomes foul. The stomach is sour
and the appetite poor. Constipation, the sole
cause of all this trouble, is promptly and pegma-
nently cured by DR.. Pierce's Pleasan mt Pellets.

were dreadful. Young girls flung
themselves from the rocks to escape
outrage, and a youth shot his two Sis

who was captured by the Turks had
his lips, nose and ears cut off, and his
eyes torn out before he was killed.

market seemed rather to be in n condition

dropping tendency. The volume of
trading was considerably less than for
several days with proportional allow
ance for the half holiday and the diversl-

The bearish tendency OF yesterdays
close held over night and the opening
was weak and markedly lower in many of
the stocks which have recently served
as prop to the whole market. There
was noticeable advance in Western

account of the notification to the gold

exchange governors that the contract

would cut off all ticker service was met

had expressed his conviction that it was
not the purpose of the board to perma-

ply to clear the way for n new contract
under which the exchange could maintain
better control of the ticker service.
