SPENCER CONVICTED
Only Three Minutes Required for the
Jury to Deliberate


Jury to Deliberate
d. c. Spencer was found guilty of grand
larceny yesterday. three minutes from the
time the jury retired to deliberate upon
the evidence in his case, the record in the
case Of Campbell, his accomplice, being
surpassed by just one minute. 1t was a
perfectly plain case so plain, In fact, that
the attorneys for the defense, realizing
the utter hopelessness Of overcoming the
weight of testimony introduced In behalf of
the state, made no offer Of evidence. Pre-
ferring to rely solely upon the technical
meaning Of the law, they placed great
stress upon the allegation that the offense
charged had not been sustained by the evil
dence, some other crime, as embezzlement
or fraud. apparently, being indicated by
the proof offered. The jury was not in a
hair-splitting mood, and the clear-cut ar
gument of Deputy District Attorney Nc
Comas, in which he traced the progress of
the swindle perpetrated by this choice pair
of scamps, penetrated to the marrow Of
the case.
The defendant was ordered to be brought
before the court Tuesday for sentence

In all probability the two friends will 60

FIRST WoMAN's CLUB
Il Was Founded In Phuaaelphla Ov
CenfuPY ARO.

Il Was Founded In Phuaaelphla over
q Century Ago.
The first woman's club founded in
America, or at least the first about
which we have authentic information.
was held in the city of Penn 102 years
ago, under the name Of THE Female
Society for the Relief and improvement
Of the Poor" It was begun and organ
lied by Quaker spinster, Anne Parish,
WHO was born in 1760 and died just be-
fore the nineteenth century began, at
the end of the year 1900. The society
consisted first of % young. accom-
plished women of the best families, who
met every week to go about among the
poor and needy. When the city was
visited by yellow fever. shortly after
the formation of the club, the mettle
of its members was tried and found to
ring true; while most who had the
means fed from the town. these %
| Quaker women stayed with Anne Par
ish and fought the plague. raising
money, visiting the dying, clothing the
well and comforting the bereaved.
From that time to the present the So
ciety has endured and continued in the
work thus early initiated; the grand
daughters and great-granddaughters
of the first founders, who have inherited
the club membership along with their
Quaker traditions, their fine old family
names that still count in Philadelphia
society. are now preparing to celebrate
the clubs one hundred and second
birthday. The membership is passed
down through the eldest daughter, and
| the methods are not altered from those
first chosen; there is no president nor
vice president, the only officers being
two clerks, a treasurer and a commit
Tee of 13; the prominent work OF the
club is the maintenance of "house
of industry" where nearly 100 old
Quaker women Of INDECENT circum-
stances go daily to sew, knit and mend
in comfortable quarters in the house on
North Seventh street. which the club
has lodged in since the middle Of this
century. The women are paid good
wages for their work and are given a
good meal in the middle Of the day, be-
sides being provided with easy-chairs
while they work. The society women
provide them with sewing and bachelors
send thither for their mending.-Phil-
adeiphia Ledger.

ICE HOUSE IN CORNER OF BARN

than the source from which it is taken.
If it be used for cooling purposes only,
the ice taken from any reasonably clear
stream or pond can be made available
Where two or more farmers live within
short distance of each other, the Co
operative plan of building an icehouse
sufficiently large for ali, will be found
cheaper and more advantageous than
building singly.
The accompanying CIT gives an idea
for an ice house in n barn, and few
hints on points necessary to be observed
in its construction, ETC., will be use
full: For these hints we are indebted
to an article in the report of the Kan
sas state board of agriculture, 1896. On
a farm with dairy of ten cows, the
consumption, including a supply for
household use, would amount tn about
800 pounds daily; the shrinkage
amounts to 40 per cent. on an average;
and the period during which ice is nee.
essary in ordinary years, about 100 days
This will necessitate supply Of is tons
Of ice, to store which space of IL feet
square and ten feet high viii be neces.
sary. II smaller daily supply is re
quired, the size of the space will be
proportionately reduced. In building
an icehouse, the chief points to be con.
sidered are the exclusion of air from
under or around the body of ice; proper
ventilation over the ice, and proper sur
face draining around the icehouse. Any
little crack that admits of the inflow OF
warm air will play havoc with body
of ice. Hence waterproof paper should
| interline the walls, so as to exclude
every possible chance for the admission
of a current of air. If there be toe
much sawdust placed around ice it is
liable to ferment and develop heat &c
such an extent as to melt the ice. -Four
inches of sawdust or chaff is sufficient
| to place under the ice, and eight inches
| is sufficient on the sides of house
with single wall. and four inches in
| case OF a twin wall.
/ A twin wall is made by boxing the
studding OIL both plates and sills. q
that they shall alternate with
other. Two by six may be used,
they may be placed two feet apart; II
inch boards will answer for plates and
sills This permits each studding to
project two inches past the center oil
the wall and prevents the air current
from setting. The studding must be
papered with waterproof paper and
then ceiled.-Journal of Agriculture.

THIS PARROT HAS A BANK ACCOUNT.

Mcdonald. a sister of the Mrs. Bradford
with whom he finally lived. and whose
heir he now is.
In the Bradford family he became
very great pet. He was especially the
favorite of Mr.. Bradford, upon whose
shoulder he would sit for hours in deep
thought. His conversation was never
of the fippant, chattering sort. He
would always speak when spoken to or
when occasion seemed to make 1t neces-
sary, but he never talked, as most par
rots do, simply to hear his own voice.
He seemed very fond of Mr.. Bradford.
and for weeks after that gentleman's
death he mourned.
But after awhile he came to look upon
his sorrow philosophically and began
to show as much attention to Mrs. Brad
ford as he had to her husband.
That Mrs. Bradford was extremely
fond of Polly is shown by the provision
she made for him in her will. The $4,000
is to be invested in mortgages by Mr..
George H. Pierce, who is made trustee
by the will. He is to support the parrot
through the rest of his life. He is
groomed, fed and bathed with all the
care Of the most priced pet in the world.
He has all the palatable viands in the
market. such as polls eat. For instance,
he has a select assortment of crackers,
well picked nuts, seedless rasins and
cake,-N, Y, World.
