Tho garrison stationed at Fort Mott Is
composed Of regular artillerylnen who
have Hbeeh there for the last six
months. Repeated efforts have been made
by the enlistlng officers to strengthen the
garrison, but as yet they have been unable
to do SO. The volunteers OF the 14th

Of stopping beneath the walls Of the strong

try stationed at Firms Point have practi-
cally no connection with Fort Mott and its
garrison.
They are not trained with the guns, no
recruits are being added to the regulars
and as the garrison Itself IL small and in
sufficient the large rifles mounted on the
fort are quite useless.

WANTS A
POSTPONEMENT,
Says He Cannot 60 to Trial
Without an Important
Witness.

Senator Kenney Is not ready to go to
trial at this term Of the United States Cir
cult Court. Senator Gray and Levi G.
Bird appeared In court this morning and
made IN application for the postponement
Of the trial until the October term. Coun-
sci claimed that All important witness
for the defence was not within the dis.
trict and could not he secured In time for
tho trial on next Tuesday.
Judge Bradford reviewed the status OF
the case. Every effort had been made to
secure another judge to sit in this case.
Court made this announcement last week
and favored the postponement Of the trial
until September The defendants ooun-
sci demanded o speedy trial and wanted
the day set for tomorrow. Finally July 8
was the day chosen. Two or three DELI
cate points have been raised In the argus
ments Of the demurrer TO the Indictment.
In the case of United States vs.. Murphy
q postponement was granted upon the
strength of an affidavit that an important
witness was absent. 7 he court will be
guided largely by tho decision Of Judge
Wales. District Attorney Vandegrift
strenuously opposed the continuance on
the grounds that the witnesses have been
summoned and the jurors will be In at
tendance on Tuesday. /
There are several other cases OF similar
nature and they must be gotten out of the
road. The order In which these cases are
to be tried must be considered. The Gov
eminent has been obliged to meet all de.
mands of the defense despite the fact that
the cases of Clark and Cooper worked up
to the time for arguing the demurrer In
this case

symbol of the SunfI0yyer,

Speaking of yellow, the sunfower, in
flower language. is symbolical Of false
riches, for the following reasons: The
Spaniards, when they invaded Peru,
beheld gold on every hand, and when
they saw the country covered with
golden-colored flowers they imagined
they, too, must be pure god-not the
only case where appearances have been
decetful. But by perverse contradict
ton Of this story, the Spaniards them
selves adopt this flower as symbol of
faith, and one of their poets says:
Real faith Is like the suns fair fow-
ers, which, midst the clouds that
shroud it, and the winds that wave 1t
to and fro, and all the change of air.
and earth, and sky, doth rear It's head
and looketh up, still steadfast, to its
God" So if you want to grow sun
flowers you can take your choice OF
meanings, but to me it will suggest
that the Spaniards were disappointed
once upon time and will be again.
