His address to the evangelical clergy

Il did not want to say that here, but

ut may be that the unfavoralle ap-

what goes on there, it cuts into, ones

Only the Christian life can make an
impression upon MOhammedans.
Nobody can wonder if they have no
respect for the Christians in ecclesiasti-

''They must be prevented, even by
force. from quarreling with one another

OBJECTION RAISED.
Many Persons Oppose Removal OF
Old Market Blu ldlng.
II Is an Ancient Structur. With Many
His Oric Associations.

| The resolution providing for the tear
| ing down OF the old Market building on
| Market square, at the expiration OF the
present lease, which was introduced by
Alderman Winsor, by request, has given
| rise to a great deal OF discussion, and
| Ii Is not improbable that there will be
| quite an objection, of a purely senti-
mental kind, raised to the removal OF
! the building. The lease. under the ex-
listing contract, will expire on January
/, 1900, and although there was some
talk about the extension until 1906. ac-
cording to the city auditor no extension
of lease has been executed.
OF course, much of the objection to
the removal of the building will come
from persons who are interested In his
torical matters, and as relic of the
old town OF Providence the structure is
certainly interesting. According 10 the
archives OF the record commissioners
1.-The first decided step towards the
erection of the Market House was the
issuing of the scheme of a lottery, April
2S. 1712. At that time a large part of
the ground where the building stands
was under water. To the northward
of IL stretched out the Weybosset
bridge. Work was commenced by fill
ing up the land which was done under
an agreement with John Brown I'm Sep
tember, 17T2. and towards the close OF
that year Joseph Andrews built a bank
wall around the land thus made. In
August. 1713 the west wall of the Mar
ket house lot was extended northward
TO the south side OF the bridge and the
land between the bridge and the Mar
ket house was filled in.
The first brick I'm the construction OF
the building was laid i'm August, 1713.
and the first stall OF which there APP
pears any record was built I'm the win
ter OF 1867. In 11T the stalls were
disposed OF at public vendue. and scales
for weighing were put In. In 1919 por-
tion Of the building was used as n fire
engine house and for many years af-
terwards,dur the stay of the French
troops I'm Providence. I'm 1881. the Mar
ket building was appropriated To their
use. The building was used by the
officers OF the town for many years and
later by the city" There does not seem
to be any deed of the estate on record.

feet. the valuation of the land by the
assessors Is S51 .j,N and of the building

THE BOTKIN CASE
Piling Up Testimony Against the
Defendant

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 1.-THE prose
cution in the Botkin case was greatly con-
cerned today over rumor which obtained
wide circulation that several members OF
the jury had already expressed opinion,
which could not and would not be changed
by evidence. An investigation by the po
lice, however, failed to corroborate these
rumors.
In addition to John P. Dunning, the
prosecution will introduce on Monday the
testimony of three experts on handwriting
to show that anonymous letters to Mrs.
Dunning and the address on the box of
poisoned candy were written by Mrs. Bot
kin. The testimony of Expert Daniel 7
Ames and few other experts who agree
that the accused woman wrote all the let
tiers and addresses will be supplemented by
the positive assertion Of Mrs. Sarah Rouff
and John P. Dunning to the same effect.
Mrs. Bothn was i'll enough today to need
the services OF physician. She has almost
collapsed under the nervous strain but she
still intends to testify in her own behalf
and to make general denial of the charges
against her.

At the trial on this charge Turner testified

action, which, it was claimed by the prose
cution, was perjury. A conviction followed
The supreme court has reversed the judg-
ment OF the lower court and remanded the
case for a new trial. The court holds that
the indictment was fatally defective, in that
it did not specify that the testimony given
was ''wilfully'' false, as commanded by the
code, and while it concluded with the as
sertlon that the testimony was wilfully false
that was only a conclusion of law and did
not avail I'd cure the defect in the chargn.
