She noticed this and i explained that had expected to see her in the city. l made coffee for her and then she entered upon a discussion as to various poisons. told her that in poison- ing rats 1 would use strychnine. She asked if I ever used arsenic and I said had. but found the rats thrived on it. She asked particularly as to what would be 1t varied in size. She then asked how she could purchase the drug and I told her at any drugstore, but would have to explain for what purpose she required it. She then asked particularly as to the rates of postage on various kinds of matter. [ advised her if she desired to make sure of safe transmission she should register anything she sent. She asked if she would not then have to sign her name"
 She then asked me if a person was in trouble and hired lawyer would they have to tell him everything. l answered by reminding her of the old saying that 1t is best to employ a good doctor or lawyer if one needs such services as they can render.
 
 up to see the governor as she always called MT. Botkin. She had some dia- monds in pawn and wanted money from him with which to redeem them. She went out, but returned shortly and said she had seen the governor and that he was displeased to find her there, but had invited her to dine with him. She complained of feeling i'll and said that if she had not promised MT. Botkin she would not dine with him.
 Mrs Botkin went out and returned late in the afternoon and said I have dined with the governor and have been to his room.

I don't believe you have; you are too big a coward The doctor called and found her in high fever and said she had the grip.
 While the doctor was in the house she piled him continuously with questions re- garding poisons. l told the doctor not to answer her. as she would be taking poison. The doctor did tell her that quieter in effect. but that the morphine route was better than either. Mrs. Bot kin referred again to arsenic, and had the doctor tell her the symptoms of arsenic poisoning and all particulars about the lethal poison. The doctor recommended her to remain quiet several days but she decided to go the next day.
 "She told me that something indicated to her that her association with Cunning would be stronger than 1t had been. She did not think he would get a divorce, on account of his child. At this time she told me I might be summoned as a wit ness, but that I would get my fee I told her I knew the law allowed a fee in a civil case She said How about crimi- nal case?'

the Victoria Hotel She had seen Mrs. Botkin in court and recognized her as re- sembling the woman who had made the purchase.
 : To Mir. Knight she refused to give her present address. but finally said 1t was T04 Market. street, lodging house. She was sure the purchaser of the handker- chief was Mrs. Botkin, for several req sons. The witness knew man who was employed at the Victoria Hotel. and when Mrs. Botkin gave that address the saleswoman looked up quickly and saw in the woman before her one who bore a striking resemblance to her mother The circumstances of the sale all came back to her She had no doubt that Mrs. Bot kin was the purchaser of the two hand kerchiefs.
 friend of Mrs Botkin, next took the stand and told what she knew of the defend ants movements for an extended period. To MT. Hosmer she said: My home IS in Stockton. I am a widow, and have known Mrs. Botkin for seven or eight years. For the last two years have known her very well. know John r. Francisco and Oakland. have seen them in each others company four or five times, perhaps six. The first time was at the home of Mrs Botkins sister. Mrs. years ago last April. At that time mes senger boy brought Mrs. Botkin note. After reading it she told me she expected visit from friend and asked me to let at racting any attention. She did not want any one to know of his visit MT. Cunning came and l admitted him as re- quested. He stayed about a half hour. week later he came again under ex- actly the same circumstances.
 "I'he next time I met him was in Gold. en Gate Park. Mrs. Botkin and myself were on our way to the Cliff House and passed through the park: Mrs: Botkin expected to meet him at the Cliff, but he did not come. This was in July, 1896. The next time I saw him was at the home of Mrs. Botkin at 927 Geary street, between Polk and Van Ness avenue He came in and stayed q few minutes. Some days later I went to stay all night and knocked at the door of Mrs. Botkins room. She asked me to go downstairs and wait for her. Shortly afterward she called me and I went up and found MT Dunning in the room with her.
 The witness was shown the handker chief sent to Delaware and said: Mrs. Paris one day and she pointed out handkerchief like that and said, 'Ain't they pretty? The handkerchiefs had been marked down and were being sold at an unusually low price,"
 The witness identified card as being in Mrs Botkin's handwriting. The latter acknowledged it, and the letter was ad- mitted in evidence. The witness identified the following letter as being in Mrs. Bot kin's handwriting:
 San Francisco, Apr. 1SIss
 Governor Bud: Most Dear Sir: Will you kindly grant my sincere request which to be placed on the nurse staff It will be my heart felt wish to render all the and sympathy that such position would demand My ref erence in this City is Dr. Thorne. Trusting my request will receive an early response, I am most respectfully,
 Mrs. w A. Botkine, 1105 Hyde Street.
 This was written shortly after Cunning went to Cuba as a war correspondent.
 The witness identified the anonymous

garded as a promising one financially for both clubs. Both have been losing money of late Close figures estimate that the new blood which is to be in- fused into the Tablespoons" will make the Brooklyn ball grounds much greater attraction than heretofore for the rooters, and that handsome bal ance will be placed to the credit of the Brooklyn Club at the end of next sea- son. By the terms of the amalgamation the respective clubs shall pool all gains and losses. Those who figure profit on Brooklyn say that this will more than counterbalance the Baltimore losses.
The San Francisco call., 1898-12-17

The witness digressed to say that she also had seen in the possession of Mrs. Botkin a handkerchief similar to that found in the box of poisoned sweets. Mrs. Ruoff was armed with pertinent and discriminating facts. She identified the anonymous letters as written by Mrs. Botkin. She swore that the ad dress on the package of candy was written by Mrs. Botkin. And then the witness told how Mrs. Botkin begged Governor Budd to appoint her Red Cross nurse that she might go to Cuba and the war with her lover.
 The great courtroom with it's throng of people was in absolute stiffness while the woman related this story. Her sharp, shrill voice rang out in accus- ing accents, and Mrs. Botkin tried not to appear concerned. Many eyes were upon her, and she bent over a book
 But she was not reading, and now and again her eyes turned in fascination toward the witness-stand.
 This remarkable story related upon the witness-stand created profound impression. Gel rge Knight conducted a brief cross s-eXamination and did not succeed in shaking the woman in any of her assertions. His first question
 was characteristic of him. How long were you in the Stockton Insane Asy- lum?" he asked. It is not necessary to say more than that Knight knew the witness had been a nurse and not a pa tient in the institution.
 There was a storm of objections, and a recess was taken until the afternoon. During the recess Mrs. Ruoff was coun- seled not to show ill feeling on the witness stand. She changed her man ner and so did Knight. Both were suave, quiet-spoken, courteous. But Knight could glean nothing directly to contradict or entrap the witness. After a brief examination he released her.
 The proceedings. which during the day developed so much of dramatic interest opened quietly. B. K. Ecklund, a candy maker employed by George Haas. was the first witness called. He had put no ar senic in chocolate. A juror drew from him that arsenic could be inserted in candy and the aperture closed, but the witness thought it would show.
 He was followed by Mrs. Grace Harris,
 one of the strongest witnesses for the prosecution. Like many of those who preceded her, she seemed touchy on her past, declining to state her residence She had apparently read the papers, as she alluded to the employees of the City of Paris as sales persons" and sales people" not the recurrent sales ladies" of the candy counter. She was shown the handkerchief which accompanied the poi soned sweets to Delaware and identified it as one sold by her. It still contained it with red rubber stamp. She sold it to woman who asked that it be sent to

Death of Mrs. p. M. Clark.

The battle is over. the unequal contest
is ended, death is once more victorious,
and the sensibilities of many hearts in
this community are touched. After an
illness whose fluctuations have been
watched with general solicitude and SYM
pathetic interest, the earthly sojourn OF
Myra Esther Clark, wife of ex-District
Attorney p. M. Clark, ended at her homo
in Tionesta at o'clock a. M, Friday,
May 27, 1898. Everything that loving
hearts could conceive of, or medical
science suggest, was resorted to in the ef-
fort to stay the hand of the fell destroyer,
but it was all of no avail.
Mrs. Clark was a native of Clarion
county and was aged 43 years, 10 months
and IS days. She was united in marriage
to P. M. Clark, Esq, July l3, 1892, and
their union had been most happy.
Her life, all too brief, was beautiful in
its fruits of grace and usefulness, its fidel-
ity to duty, and the affectionate zeal for
the welfare of others. She was unselfsh
by nature, pure in heart, loving in dispo-
sition, abounding in charities that soothe
and bless. The qualities of her nature
caused her to be beloved and appreciated
by wide circle of acquaintances. She
was christian and she always lived
nigh the Kingdom into which she has
been called. Her loss will be felt in
christian work, to which she gave her
best service.
She was member of the NJ. i. Church
of Monesta, was one of its most earnest
workers in the cause of the Lord, and it
will be difficult to fill her place.
She was not afraid to die, her every word
was clothed with smile and she patient
lywaited to enter into the yelled and silent
future whence no traveller returns, aud
clasp the hand of Him whose service she
loved on earth.
TO her stricken, rt-brOken husband,
consolation "Shs can never suffer more" F"
The funeral services, held at the M b..
church on Sunday last at l o'clock p. M,
were conducted by her pastor, Rev. Buzz
"a, assisted by her former pastor, Rev. G..
G. Rumberger, under whose ministra-
ton the deceased was first brought to
Christ. Both ministers paid glowing
tributes to the memory of Mrs. Clark,
every word OF which seemed to awaken a
sympathetic response in the hearts of all.
The casket, almost hidden beneath a pro-
fusion of lovely flowers, was borne to the
grave by six members of her Sabbath
school class, Mrs. j. G. Hunter, Mrs. f.
P. Amslcr, Mrs. Will Hunter, Miss May
Huling, Miss Lucy Huling and Miss
Mary Morgan, the interment being in
beautiful Riverside cemetery.

Memorial Day.

If the G. a. r., controlled the elements
more perfect day could not have been
constructed for the fulfillment of the pro-
gram prepared for Memorial Day, and
Judging from the patriotic enthusiasm
displayed il was unquestionably onjoyed
by all.
Never in the history of our town, has
the display of flags and bunting been
equaled and tho croud of patriotic citizens
of this vicinity that gathered to celebrate
this most memorable day was certainly
immense.
The morning exercises, as per program,
were carried out to the letter, the deie-
cations from the Post who had been ap-
pointed to decorate remote graves ofcom-
rades, all left ON schedule time and after
fulfilling their duties were promptly on
hand to take part in the ceremonies at
Riverside cemetery.
The fact that our country is in tho
throes of war at the present time is pro-
badly one reason that our people took a
more active interest in the proper obser-
vance of Memorial Day, and each and
every one certainly demonstrated their
pride in, and willingness to "stand up"
for "Old Glory"
Our new military company turned out
in the parade with the G. A. r., and the
auxiliary w. r. c., and the showing that
.Lo,, ,,,aJa IL, N. ilitarxr ta nticc and rnauau-
vers, considering the very short time that
they have been drilling, was certainly eX-
cellent, and we have no hesitancy in as
sisting that there is not a company ofnew
volunteers in the United States, who
have had no more advantages, that could
make better showing.
To add pleasure and harmony to the
occasion the Juyinile Band, ofWest Hick-
ory came down with the Hickory and
Harmony township veterans and "raw"
recruits, and, to say the least, (using the
sobriquet given to musicians in the rogu-
lar army,) as "wind TANNERS" those boys
are out OF sight" The music they render
ed was enjoyed by all, and they will he
ever welcome visitors to Tionesta.
AS usual the helpmates of the G. A. r.,
the patriotic w. r. c., served an excellent
Luncheon in their hall, for the benefit OF
all visiting comrades and their families
which was thoroughly enjoyed and ap-
preciatod, and too much praise cannot be
given these noble wemen for the work
they have done and are doing.
After the ritual service of the G.. A. r.,
at Riverside cemetery the vast crowd
gathered at the Court House to listen to
the Memorial Day address which was do
livered by President Judge w. NJ. Lind
sey. The large court room was filled to
over flowing, and the audience was most
attentive while the eloquent speaker de-
livered his address, which abounded in
rich thought and many beautiful tributes
10 the brave boys in whose honor these
annual gatherings are held. The meeting
after the usual ritual services of the G
A. r., had been gone through with, was
interspersed with songs by the Choir and
an appropriate recitation by Miss Kath-
cen Joyce.
All in all it was day long to be re-
membered for the patriotism and good
fellowship displayed, and passed of with
out single sign of boisterous demonstra a
ton or unseemly conduct.
