When DR.. ]. T.. OBrien was on the
stand yesterday morning under cross
examination as a witness for the de-
fense in the case of Kelly against the
Traction company, Mr.. Burns, of coun-
sci for the plaintiff, caused somewhat
of a commotion by yendeavoringto show
that the doctor was under pay OF the
defendant company, and therefore a
biased witness.
Despite the vigorous protests of the
DEFENDANTS attorneys and against a
personal appeal to the court by the
doctor himself Judge Purdy COM
PEELED the witness to answer Mr.
Burns questions as TO the number of
cases in which he has given expert tes-
timony for the company, and the fee
that he received for his services. When
the question relating to this last mat
ter was put, DR.. O'Brien turned to
Judge Purdy and stated that in every
previous instance where this question
had been asked the court had over
ruled it. Judge Purdy would not,
however. be bound by the precedents
as quoted by the doctor and with
much reluctance the witness told what
he received for his services in these
cases.
EXAMINED THE PLAINTIFFS.
BY DR.. O'Brien and DR.. John Bur-
nett. who preceded him on the stand,
the company strove to show that they
had made an examination of Mrs
Kelly a few months after the accident
when the suit was brought and discov-
cred that she was suffering from an
internal injury, which, in their opin-
ion. could not have been caused by
blow such as Mrs. Kelly AYERS she re-
ceiVed by the sudden starting Of the
car.
All the motormen and conductors
who worked on the Bellevue Stone ave-
nue. line on the day when the accident
is alleged to have occurred on one of
the cars of that line, We're put on the
stand one after the other, and each
denied that any such accident had oc-
Cured on his car. and averred that it
could not have occurred without their
having noticed 1t. The case was Civ
en- to the jury at 3 o'clock. No verdict
had been reached up to adjourning
time.
The mule case of Harry Depuy
against the Nay Aug Coal company
was still unfinished at adjourning
time, and that it might not drag along
into next week Judge Archibald con-
tinued the afternoon session until the
case should be in the jury's hands.
When o'clock arrived, however, and
it was seen that the case could not be
finished in a reasonable length of time,
Judge Archibald declared the night ses-
sion Oft and directed an adjournment
until this morning.
POSTPONEMFNT REFUSED.
Miller f. j. Ehrgood. through his
counsel, w. S. Diehl, made an attempt
yesterday afternoon to secure another
postponement of the suit in which he
is sued by Sprout, Waldron & Co., of
Murrey, Pa, for the price of certain
machinery, which, it Is claimed, he il
legally detains at his Dunmore mill.
Judge Purdy thought that Ehrgood
had been given plenty of time to get
his witnesses together and declined to
grant another continuance. The case
was accordingly proceeded with. 1t
will likely take up the whole of today.

At the Linden street temple last
night, Rev. f.. NJ. Chapman, ID. D., de-
livered a lecture on individual Char
acter and National Morality" He took
for his text the words found in EXo-
dus, xxx:12. During the course of his
remarks Dr. Chapman said, in part:
1t was not lawful to take the number
of the Israelites, because the Lords
promise to Abraham was, that his pos
terity should be as numerous as the
stars of the armament and as the SAND
upon the seashCre for multitude. But
this reason Is not quite sufficient for the
prohibition to number. There Is a deep
er reason for It. According to the will
of God Israel was destined To represent
Il kingdom of priests and Il holy nation.
And so far as the community was con-
cerned, they have reVer denied their nolN
vocation Even in those times which are
described as vicious and idolatrous, the
prophets witnessed to the respect Tor
truth, though in their horror at the sins
of the people, they, doubtless, portrayed
some of the national vices and tranS-
grcssions more hcinuus and blacker
than they were. But, nevertheless, we
may boldly declare. that thcr" was no
time in history, when Israel did not give
witness for the living truth of the living
God. As community. they bore faith
fully the message of the Eternal, through
the ages.

performance must be accepted as hav-

charge of not knowing what they are
talking about. Lillian Nordica says:

HIS BOAT FOR A LIFE.
the Part of IA Poor khnRkn
Missionary.

A very curious and beautiful letter
was once written to President Lincoln
that would certainly have given him pc
culiar pleasure if he had read ii, but he
never did. This is how it was: In 1863
some pirates from Peru captured and
carried off some natives from the Mar
quesas islands in the South Seas. One
of them was a son of powerful chief,
and the father made a vow that he
would, for revenge, eat the first white
man who fell into his hands.
, A man named Whalan, the first mate
of a New Bedford whaling ship, was be-
fore many months captured by the Mar
quesans; he it was who must furnish a
feast for the cannibal chief; but all the
people he ruled over were not cannibals.
Among them was a native missionary
from Hawaii, named Kakela. Kakela
had just received a present of boat
from religious people in Boston, valu-
able six-oared boat that he needed much
in his missionary work. He set about
trying to save Mr.. Whalan's life, but the
chief would give him up only on one
condition-that he should have the new
beat in exchange for the captive Ka-
kela bought him at that price, and
! helped him to leave the islands.
The story came to President LincoIn's 5
| knowledge, and in the midst of the ter
rible cares that the life and death
struggle of the nation threw on him he
characterstically found time to send
a message and a present to the poor
South Sea missionary. Kakela wrote a
letter of thanks in return, which closed
! with these sentences: Gas to this friend
ly deed of mine, its seed was brought
from your great land by certain of your
countrymen who had received the love
of God. 1t was planted in Hawaii, and
brought it here that these dark re.
gions might receive the root Of all that
lis good and true, which is love. How
shall repay your great kindness to me
Thus David asked of Jonathan, and
ask of you, the president of the United
States, This is my only payment, thai
which / received from the Lord, love.
May the love Of Jesus Christ abound to
wurd you till the end of this terribl,
war in your land"

At this time of the year the farm
team should be a the very best condi-
ton to stand the hard work the horses
will be called upon to perform. A
great many farm teams, through inn
proper treatment and feeding, are not
able to meet the expectations of their
owners.
Horses that have been kept in foul
stables during the winter, with little
or no exercise, and fed on improper
food, will not be in good condition to
stand the sudden strain of hard work
They should be provided with clean,
well-ventilated stables, fed good,
wholesome, we'll balanced ration, wa.
tered often and regularly, make the
acquaintance of good curry comb and
brush, allowed to exercise every day in
an open lot and worked moderately at
first, gradually increasing the food as
the work increases.
See that the harness is in good re-
pair and well oiled Take the first
rainy day to go over them, repairing
all broken or weak parts; wash thor.
oughly, dry and apply good coat ot
oil, rubbing it in thoroughly. Always
keep the harness clean and soft, espe
cially on the inside of the collar. The
perspiration, If allowed to accumulate
will cause irritation and produce gals
The collar should fit closely, allowing
just room enough at the bottom to in

wide, it will cramp and draw the skin
producing sores or knots.
Tools should be kept sharp and wei
oiled, as this, besides other advantages
will lessen the draft on the horses.

horsei with the kindness due such al
obedient and faithful servant. A team
that is treated well and talked t.
kindly will do more and better worl
than if treated harshly. y.-Cor Epito

Useful Hints.

A great many farmers complain that
their sows, especially the young sows,
die in narrowing, and want to know
how this can be prevented, After a
SOW is bred but little corn should be
fed. Stops, shorts and vegetables are
the correct diet, and if a fewlfaw pota-
toes are fed the last eight or ten days,
999 out of every 1000 will come through
safely and the young pigs will be
strong and vigorous.
Sometimes aged sows acquire habit
of eating their young. Feed a pound
of salt fat pork daily for three or four
days at farrowing time, and it viii
cure them.
If COW is not giving a good aow OF
milk, or when the yield suddenly de.
creases without apparent cause, give
three times daily a quart of bran in a
pail of luke-warm water, to which a
pinch of salt is added, and the result
will be a surprise. In many instances
