SEALED ORDERS.

In the tender light Of each new days
dawning
A whi.e-robed angel the order brings,
And thou, o Soul, in the silence awaken
ing
Heareth the rush of the plumed wings.
Sealed with the seal of the Christ are the
orders;
No eyes save thine may the message
read,
That places thee where, in thy Captains
judgment,
OF faithful service He hath most need.
Oft times thou readest the one word On
ward"'
Though steep be the path and held by
the,
Though hope and courage alike have fail
ed thee
And darker and blacker the heavens
grow.
OFT times when the hot blood, leaping,
surging,
Urges thee on with relentless hand,
While others are storming the enemy's
fortress,
There cometh to thee the order,
Stand
Stand and wait in the place appointed,
Though other troopers go gailoplng
past;
Patiently wait for thy Captain knoweth
That waiting shall win the day at last.
Oft there are marches long and weary
When the sun beats down with pitiless
heat,
And solemn vigils when through the dark
Thou treadest the sentry's lonely beat.
But always and ever each soldier know
eth
The Captain Himself hath served in
Hath borne the burden on weary
marches
Hath watched alone by the river banks.
Knoweth that inch by inch He conquered,
Learning His army's inmOst needs,
While marching across the enemy's coun-
try
Where now His forces He safely leads.
Sealed with the seal of the Christ are the
orders
The angel brings at the dawn Of day;
Take them, o Soul, without doubt OF
question,
Fearlessly tread the appointed way;
For nearer and nearer, the jeweled has,
tons
OF heaven CLEAN brightly through the
mlsts of space.
And His ''Well-done" shall be thy guer-
When thou meetest thy Captain face
to face.

SHE DENIES ALL.
Mrs. COrdelia BOtkin Placed on
the Stand.
To Testify in Her Own Defense
at San Francisco.
NEVER BOUGHT CANDY
At the Place Designated by the
Prosecution
And Never Bought a Handker-
chief at City of Paris.
NEVER BOUGHT CANDY

San Francisco, Dec. 23.-The defense
of Mrs. Cordelia Botkin for the murder
of Mrs. John p. Dunning has made lit
tie progress IN the breaking down Of the
case Of the prosecution
DR.. George NJ. Tyren was the prin-
cipal witness for the defense today. Dr..
TyrelI, however, was so uncertain in his
testimony and contradicted himself so
often that he did the defense but little
good. He testified that he visited Mrs.
Botkin on Sunday afternoon, July 81,
between the hours of and o'clock and
treated her for headache. This is the
time and date sworn by Misses Heney
and Ditmarr, of Hass' candy store,
when they sold Mrs. Botkin a. box of
chocolate bon bons. DR.. Tyrell, for some
reason, made no entry In his visit book
and rendered no bill for services to Mrs.
Botkin. He could not specify the time
Of his visit better than between and
3 o'clock In the afternoon"
When questioned regarding arsenica1
poisoning the attorney for the prosecu-
ton made it very clear that DR.. Tyreu
knew little, if anything, of arsenic
Thomas J. Ford of the San Francisco
pOstofice, testified that the package of
candy was not packed according to the
rules and that it was remarkable that
the box should have reached Delaware
in good order. He identified the post
marks on the anonymous letters as be
ing those Of the San Francisco office
and described the methods employed in
the carrying of letter mails.
John p. Dunning was recalled by per-
mission, and asked if he had told Mrs.
BOtkin that his wife and daughter had
taken up their residence in Dover, Del.
He replied that he had mentioned the
fact several times.
W. L. Roberts of Humboldt county, a
brOther-in-law of the accused, stated
that Mrs. BOtkin had been in the vicin-
ity of Eureka from the End of June until
the end of the month. The prosecution
membered that one Of the anonymous
letters was dated about the middle of
June, but the prosecution will prove
that a mail bag was placed on the wharf
ters were dropped in it and not post
marked until the steamer reached this
city.
DR.. w. F. McNutt testified that the
only reliable way to prove arsenica1
poison was by an autopsy.
John H. Walkington, floor manager
of the City of Paris store, where the
handkerchief sent Mrs. Dunning's little
daughter was alleged to have been
bought, testified as to the methods of
transferring purchases from one depart
ment to another and the delivery of
goods, but nothing of Importance was
brought out.
Mrs Botkin was then called to the
stand. She told of her acquaintance
with Dunning, denying many of his
statements. She also denied much Of
the testimony Of Mrs. Lizzie Livernash,
a reporter. who testified to the hyster-
tcal condition Of Mrs. BOtkin when in
formed of Mrs. Dunning'S death and of
several discriminating admissions made
by Mrs. BOtkin in interviews with her.
She denied ever having purchased candy
of Haas or that she ever purchased a
handkerchief at the City Of Paris.

him such an odd appearance that peo-

While promenading on the avenue Mr.
Daniels took occasion to deliver a. COM
mentary on women's attire on the street
Near the corner of Eighth street two
women passed him wearing bicycle
skirts, which extended only a short dis
tance below the knee.
Now, there's something don't like

gazing after the two women I don't

street wearing a skirt that reaches
barely below her knees. The more
wOmanly woman is the better I like
her, and to my mind a short skirt on
the street is not wOmanly. On the stage
it is different, because there it is a

CHURCH TO RUN A HOTEL.
Protestant Episcopal Church in New
York Starts q Charitable Innovation

New York, Dec. 23.-To serve two
ends, one Of charity, the other of finan-
cial benefit, the Ascension Memorial
church will erect a ten-story fireprOof
hotel on ground adjoining its church
property at 243 West Forty third street.
The charitable end the hotel will serve
will be in providing a suitable home for
such respectable people as cannot now
find a hostelry within slender means.
1t is hoped that the hotel will be-
come a home for young women employ
ed in various establishments in this city.
AS to the financial end, it is expected
that, within a few years, the hotel will
have paid for itself and be in a way to
yield such an income as will enable the
congregation to build a new church.
All modern improvements will mark
the new hotel, which will have a large
restaurant on the first floor, and a gym
nasium, reading room and library near
by.
Several floors viii be subdivided into
suites The price will be moderate;

ably for So so a week unfurnished.

smoking cigarettes while attending that

the bold, bad pranks of their ideals in
Wellesley, Smith and Vassar, and learn
to smoke. Accordingly, they secretly

their cigarettes, until the odOr, escap-
