Fuller, at the time when the triple
murder of July, 1896, took place Oh board
the vessel. resumed his testimony at the
morning session of the Bran trial today.
Yesterday, Monks told of the events of
the voyage up to the time of the finding
of the bodies of the victims in the cabin.
Today he began with the incidents of the
next morning.
The story included the discovery OF the
axe with which the murder was COM
mitted, hidden under a flashing plank on
deck and Bram's request that it be
thrown overheard which was followed by
his action in thus disposing of 1t. The
explanation given by Bran of how the
crime occurred In which the second mate,
Blom berg, one of the victims, was named
as the guilty ono, was also recalled and
the removal of the bodies to a tender in
which they were covered with canvas and
towed to Halifax was described.
The action of the crew in placing Sailor
Brown, who, it was reported, changed his
clothing in the night, in irons, and latter
in clearing Brown and combining Bran
were reviewed, and the written statement
giving the story OF Bran as TO Gne man.

Guiding the individual and professional
standing of the st. Louis magnate.
What the maj6 rity of people interested
in base ball would like to know is why
all this secrecy? What is the object and
what is expected to come out Of it? Does
the National League propose to take ad-
vantage Of Won der Ahe's position to re-
place him at st. Louis as the head of
Chris out Of the game? There are plenty
of possibilities in the case, and it would
not be a general surprise If, when Won der
Abe steps out of the prison, his connec-
ton with the great national sport would
be at an end. Wouldn't that be a quiet
and thoroughly effective method of dis
posing of him? There may be and prob
ably will be differences of opinion about
the proceedings If they move to that end,
but there can be none about the effective
ness of dealing with a man in Won der

it could be finally arranged. whereby the
control Of base ball in st. Louis could

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
1t was noted with great surprise in last
Saturdays issue that no report had been
made to the police of the theft of a wheel
during the week. Two explanations may
be suggested: Inasmuch as for long time
great many, often ten or fifteen, wheels
week have been taken, we may suppose
that the pressing need of people unable to
buy them has been pretty well supplied.
considering how few stolen wheels are
recovered, the victims have not thought it
worth while to report their loss. Conced-
ing that the police have been doing what
they can, the results have not been en-
couraging. How often is a bicycle thief
convicted?
If a horse were stolen every day or even
every week the community would be horri-
fed. If gold watch or $50 worth of jew
elry were lifted every day several times
in a day there would be a panic which
would stir up the police. But the unrea-
sonable prejudice against wheels has not
yet worn off and people regard the theft
Of one as a peccadillo, a playful prank
which "evens things up with the wheel

than the average horse or gold watch.
More of our citizens own wheels than
horses. Is it not about time that some
adequate effort were made to protect them
in their property? l am not a wheelman.
l make no excuse for reckless riders, but /
must protest against a rank injustice and
lax moral sense that makes no apparent
effort to prevent this wholesale stealing.

Health Notes.
ON the London Mail.

from the London Mail.
A good complexion depends largely on
the proper circulation of good blood
throughout the body. Good blood depends
on the assimilation of digested food of
the right quality.
Anything which interferes with the prop
er circulation of the blood tends to make
the complexion poor; for example, tight
lacing, tight shoes. tight neckbands and
tight Wristbands. Many cases of red nose
are due to some form of pressure
Red hands, too, are often due to some
impeachment in the circulation Of the blood
for example, tight gloves often produce
redness and coarseness of the hands. In
early youth redness of the hands is as
often as not due to impeded circulation,
and to their exposure to cold winds after
they have been washed.
Where rednesS of the hands proceeds
from chapped skin-a very frequent
source of trouble-the remedy is to dry
the hands very thoroughly, and to
strengthen and soften the cuticle by means
Of glycerine rubbed on while the hands
are moist. and also of putting on and wear
ing loose kid gloves at night.
Glycerine is a safer application than
vaseline, because vaseline increases the
growth of hair on the face and hands.
A simple but effective remedy to remove
the swelling and Inflammation of a sprain
which causes great pain consists of three
drops of turpentiEe and the yolk of an
egg, beaten together very thoroughly. Rub
the sprained part every morning and night

CHESS AND ITS PLAYERS

The tenth game in the match for the
chess championship of the District between
Mr. F. b. Walker and Capt Patrick OFar-
rell was played Tuesday hight, and resulted
in a victory for Mr. Walker. The captain
Is noted for setting traps for others, but
on Tuesday evening he was caught himself.
He had played excellently for forty-six
moves and had apparently much the su-
perior position, when he made what looked
like strong move, but 1t proved fatal. MI
Walker had been waiting for the captain
to place his bishops where he could not
defend his kings side pawns with them;
then he made the obscure and unexpected
move of As B-R5. The captain was car
ried off his feet by it, and did not make the
best defense. He could not have saved the
game however. The position has since
been carefully studied at the chess club,
and no way out Of it Eas been found for
the captain On the other hand, had the
captain not made his 41th move, it is very
doubtful If he could have won.
This made Mr. Walkers seventh victory,
and consequently made him winner of the
match, the final score being: Walker, a;
O'Farrell, .; drawn, l. Mr.. Walker Is es-
pecally proud of his victory in TINS match
in view of the excellent record made py the
captain in the recent championship tourney
of the club in which ne won first prize by
the score of 10 games won and 1 lost he

Kansns Farmers Abandon the Pipe
From the Stoves and Hardware Reporter.

In accounting for the reasons for the
failure of the Cob Pipe Manufacturing
Company at Quenemo. Usage county, Kan,
the explanation is made that one reason
for the decrease in demand is that farmers
are in such good condition financially that
they have discarded their favorite cob
pipes and are now smoking cigars. This
is bad for the cob pipe company. but it is
to be hoped that they can console them
selves for their loss by contemplating the
improved condition Of tbs western farmers.
This change of the farmers from cob pipes
to cigars indicates that the farmers have
money to spend and are prepared to part
with 1t to crafty their desires.
