In A Sulphur Mine,

"There are but few who admire the
collection of beautiful sulphur crystals
in the National Museum" remarked
the gentleman who collected them
from the famed sulphur mines in Sici-
ly "who have any idea in relation to
the same except their beauty. 1 don't
think he said, there is another spot
on earth where such abominable treat
ment, such fiendish cruelty, is inflicted
on the laborer as in the sulphur mines
Of Sicily. They are paid barely enough
to provide themselves with a scant
supply Of the coarsest, cheapest food,
and good portion of the time they are
in state of chronic starvation. The
work is of the hardest and most ex-
hausting character. Very few of the
mines have hoisting apparatus, and
the sulphur ore Sulphur and lime
stone combined) is brought up from
the depths below on the backs of men
and boys. Long, sloping, narrow tun-
nels lead from the surface down to the
sulphur beds 200 to 600 feet or more
below. Miners dig the stuff out and it
is carried up in stout sacks or fiat
baskets Many of the laborers, espe-
cially the boys, work naked. On their
backs they wear piece Of mating. or
something of the sort, held by a string
around the neck. This is to protect
the flesh from being torn from their
bones by the jaggtd corners OF the ore
they carry. No one can imagine
more heartrending sight than to see
the wreShed creatures toiling up the
long, steep slopes in the mine with
their enormous loads. Every step they
take wrings a groan from their tor
tured frames. Most pitiful to me was
the sight of the poor, bent, broken and
emaciated old men, mere battered
wrecks; and the young lads Of 10 and
IL years, who have just begun this life
of cruel toll,

Take Care of Old Glory.

An exchange says: "Our atten-
ton has been called to the careless
disrespect shown to the flag by so
many people who hang it from their
windows or above their houses and
leave it there night and day regardless
of the weather" 1t says, "on ship
board and military posts where the
flag has real significance it is raised
at sunrise and lowered at sunset. 1t
is never left out in the storm. Thus
the starry banner is kept clean and
bright and is always treated with res
pect. 1t should receive the same
treatment from every person." There
is good point in this and hence we

Some hot Weather Don'ts.

Don't worry and fret your husband
with detailed accounts of all your petty
domestic annoyances. He has cares
enough of his own.
Don't be lachrymose over trifles.
Men hate tears. They'd rather be
"jawed" than "cried at"
Don't 'nag" him about anything.
Don't fret if he is little careless
about wiping his feet and hanging up
his hat.
Don't "blame round" if he does
"muss things up"
Don't scold if he occasionally brings
a friend home to dinner, unless you
want him to get into the habit of think
ing that the club is better than home.
Don't whine. A whining woman is a
blot upon the fair face of creation. 1t
is not easy to be hopeful and bright
and CHEEKY all the time, but don't
whine.
Don't make the evening meal taste
less by telling how saucy the servant
has been and how trying the children
are.
Don't waste your husbands money.
Don't openly regret that you can
not have things he is unable to buy
for you.
Don't talk about how much better
dressed Mrs. Blank is than you are,
and regret that your husband cannot
make as much money as Mr.. Blank
does.
Don't tell your husband that you
wish he was like Mr.. Jones or Mr..
Smith. 1t will simply lower Jones and
Smith in his opinion, and perhaps
make him wish that Smith or Jones
had married you.
Don't talk about how much freer
and how much better times you had
before you were married than you are
having now.
Don't-above all things-let your
husband get to thinking that he was
happier and better off before he was
married than he is now.

that his mode of living suits him ad-
mirably. When he rises every morn
ing he smokes pipe. This is followed
by a dish of milk soup. He dimes at
midday, drinks two glasses of wine.
and takes his coffee without sugar. At
supper he drinks more wine. and fin
ishes the evening en- famille. His hob
by is gardening, and he varies 1t by
rocking his great-granddaughter in her
cradle and singing nursery songs.

Van Wrinkle concerning rooms. wager
stated that the woman was his wife
and that he wanted to get rooms for
a week or more while she was here
under DOCTORS care. Mr.. Van Win
kte states in his testimony that the
girl was apparently well and strong.
She took care of her own room. DIR.
Moffit called upon her frequently. On
Friday night she seemed to be suffering
great pain and DIR. Motfitt remained
with her all night. The next morning
the witness stated that the bed and
clothing were deeply saturated with
blood. The girl stated to Mr.. Van
Wrinkle that DR.. Moffitt had chlora-
formed her in the night and that she
was In very great pain and that the
doctor had relieved her aRd had carried
from the room something in q basin
that he would not let her see. After
this she grew rapidly worse. She ex'
pressed desire to have another physi-
clan but was afraid her husband and
DR.. Moffltt would object. Al the
solicitation of the Van Wrinkle family
Dr. Brown called in Sunday but did
not offer any services to the sick girl.
At the urgent request Of Mr.. Van VIM
kle DR.. Moffitt on Monday called In
DIR. E. s. Whitford for consultation.
DR.. Whitford testified that patient was
de iirious and was suffering from blood
| poisoning. He testified further that
DR.. Moff1tt said the cause Of her condi-
ton was misca rriage which he had
been endeavoring to prevent for some
time past.
The result of the post mortein ex-
animation conducted by Drs. shaft
and Kelly shows that the death was
from blood poisoning which could have
origin either from miscarriage Or
an abortion. The examination did
not show that any injury to the uterus
had been sustained by the use Of In
struments.
Dot Kingsley, \ sporting woman
testified that the deceased came to he'
house about five weeks ago to get ROOMS
while she WAS being treated. The girl
said that she had been using very
strong medicine, but 1t had no effect
that she had come to try some Other
means. A man was with her who an
swered to the description Of Fordyce
She had not seen the girl since, TIL sht
saw her after her death.
On the evidence the jury did no
fiud bill against DR.. Motfitt, but de
cided that miscarriage was caused b,
the medicine taken. DR.. Moffitt wa
released from custody. The burial 0

day evening. None of her relatives

guiry into the matter. Her father

One More Unfortunate.

Lew .ston has been the scene Of one
Of life's saddest tragedies this week.
We have been the unwilling witnesses
of a picture from life's other side, the
last act in the OLD, old story of the
frailty of women and the perfidy of
man.
A young woman about 20 years OF
age, since identified a. Ada Cole, of
Lost Prairie, Oregon. died at the Van
Winkle lodging house about five
O'Clock Tuesday morning under cir
cumstances of such nature as to call
for coroner's inquest and post mortem
examination, and cause the arrest of
DIR. j. A. Motiitt under the charge of
producing the abortion which led to
the death of the young lady.
Coroner Strong was notified early
Tuesday morning Of the death in ques-
ton and was also put in possession Of
facts that led him to believe that a
crime had been committed which had
caused the death. He proceeded at
once to the investigation and pending
the result of the inquest had DR.. Mofht
placed under arrest on the charge Of
murder. The body was removed to
the undertaking rooms of l.. c. Neal
and the following persons summoned
"a Jurors: DR.. Boles, Jno. Pointing.
Martin Collins, E. J. Bonhore, q. A.
Man ming and w. f. Baum. At y. m.
Tuesday the jury was called. Drs.
Shaft aud Kelly were summoned to
hold the post mortem which had been
decided as necessary. After the post
mortem the jury proceeded with the
inquest.
Rev w. & Armfield of Anatone was
the first witness. He is q Methodist
minister, having circuit which
includes Lost Prairie, the home of the
deceased. He Unidentified the remains
as the body of Ada Cole Of Lost Prairie
q member of his congregation at that
place with whom he was well acquaint'
ed. He had last seen her alive six
weeks ago at Anatone. She WAS there
on her way to Lewiston where she told
him she was going to work.
The story of her stav in Lewieton
as shown the evidence is substantially
as follows: In company with Ed For
dyce she reached Lewiston about June
II. She went to the home Of her aunt,
Mrs. NJ. Greenfield, to whom she told
her trouble stating that she came here
for relief. 1t was further SHOWN that
Ed Fordyce approached DIR. E. q
Brown with proposal to take the
case. This was on June IL. DIR
Brown refused to consider the PROPOSE
ton. Other evidence shows that DIR
Moffit did take the case and treated
the girl while at the home Of her aunt
aud Mt the lodging house of Mrs. Robt
Barber where she had rooms from
June 13 to June 10. No evidence was
introduced to show the whereabouts o
the girl from June 10 to July 5. Blu
