UPON HIS STATEMENT.

plause at the Close of Attorney
I[rauss' Speech Calls Forth n
Benrimand From the COurt-Pub-
lie Feeling with BURNS and the
Belief Was He Would BE Acquit-
ted.
Brunswick, Ga. Dec. 15.-The trial of
W. S. Burns for killing engineer I1esep
of the Southern Railroad was brought 10
close tonight by the acquttal of Burns.
The jury was out only few minutes be-
fore bringing in the verdict.
At the close of Attorney Krauss' speech
for the defense, there was applause from
group of spectators with which the
court room was crowded, and Judge Sweat
gave an interesting turn 70 events by CT
dering the applauders brought before him
for contempt. They could not be identi-
fed in the crowd and so escaped a penalty.
The trial was hotiy fought from the be-
ginning DR. Heslep the dead mans
brother from Virginia, was here, and the
bFotnerhoOd Of Locomotive Engineers
through General Secretary Green, were in
strumental in securing evidence. About
twenty-five witnesses were on hand Tor

We're vigorous with the prosecution.
FROM the beginning, the sympathtes Oh
the people were with Burns, and the jury
was almost of his own selection. HIS
statement TO the jury was substantially
tnat given the night of the killing. He
SAID to-day that he went 10 his home ana
found Engineer Heslep on the bed with
his wife in a compromising position, ana
securing a pistol he ran around the house
10 window and commenced shooting. tie
stated also that Hes,ep ran out OF the
house, and he followed shooting at him.
The defense offered no other testimony,
and in his speech of two hours and more
70 the jury, Attorney Krauss made the
Use Of Burns' statement.
Judge Sweats charge covered every de-
tail Of the peculiar case When the jury
retired there was a feeling that Burns
would be acquitted and the verdict occa-
stoned no great surprise. The sympathies
OF the community were with Burns, and 1t
would have been a hard matter to convict
nun at any time after his statement was
made to the press the day of the killing.
NO evidence was offered against the pris-
oners wife, as had been minated there
would be, and there was also no evidence
offered to comet any one else with hav-

The sympathetic tenderness of low
ing husband is everything to an expec-
tant mother, especially during her first
ordeal. George Layton, Esq, a prorni-
nent druggist of Dayton, o., gives the
following case:
A customer of mine, whose wife has used
four bottles of Mothers Friend " before con
fnement, says, after seeing the effects of the
remedy that. IF she had to go through the ordeal
again, and there were but four bottles on the
market, and the cost was $1eO per bottle, she
would have them.
Mothers Friend" is a scientifically
compounded 1inirnent which affords GER
tain relief in the various ailments pre-
ceding childbirth, and assures proper
elasticity to the cords and muscles in
vo1ved in the final ordeal.

flow CUBAN THEATRES ARE RUN.
Queer Regulations Which Govern Play'Goirg
on the Island.

In no other country but CUBA is
the presence of the public tolerated in
the theatres during rehearSals. Ch-
matte considerations, Of course, eA-
plain why rehearsals are called at
a. m, but no Cuban l ever spoke 10
could give any reason why, i'll Ha-
vana, the public should be permitted
to attend rehearSals free OF charge.
The law, says the Dramatic News,
does not allow a negro to appear on
the Cuban stage, with the result that
the Spanish actors are extremely
proud, and if applause is withheld
are prone to wax extremely Wroth.
As white women in Cuba would think
it derogatory to appear as supers, the
law which regulates the theatre IS so
far relaxed as to allow black women
to appear on the stage. But the male
negroes, except as keepers when
quadrupeds are introduced, are stern
ly prohibited. In the stock plays
which contain characters unSuited for
white performers painted mulatloes
are tolerated.
AS every town in Cuba has its dra-
matte censor, and all these gentlemen
have their own views as 10 how
work should be treated, a play rem
dered suitable for Havana frequently
requires a completely different super
vision for, say, Santiago. Needless to
s.,. all plays that have undergone 4
double censorship are quite useless for
presentation. The authorities, not
even the censors being able to cope
with earthquakes, are careful, mainly
because they are fond of attending the
theatres themselves, to see that no
fires occur. Every theatre during a
performance has upward Of fifty
black bomberos or tiremen ready to
extinguiSn outbreaks. The pit in the
Cuban theatre is reserved for white
gentlemen, and the first tier, which is
only raised about q foot, so that con-
versation may be INDUCED in, for
white women. AS Cuban women,
when visiting the theatre, love to sport
as many rings as their fingers will
hold, they do not wear gloves. Most
women Of position bring their attend
ants with them, but these poor unfor-
tunates are not permitted to share in
the fun, for they are compelled to sit
on the floor behind their mistresses.
The tinkling Of bell outside during
performance IS the signal for the
play to stop to enable all present, act
ors included, to kneel down and cross
themselves. The tinkling bell means
that a procession Of priests is passing
to administer the holy sacrament to
dying man.-Washington Post.

Second Growth Glover.

Almost always the second crop of
clover is pinched by drought, and this
is probably best for the production Of
good crop of seed. This year, how
ever, the rains, since the first crop was
cut, have been generally abundant,
securing larger growth of rowen
hay, but smaller seeding. 1t is pos
sible that because of these rains the
second growth clover may not be quite
up to its usual standard in quality, as
the rain makes usually watery growth
of all vegetation. But clover growing
after midsummer dries out rain fall
very rapidly, and as there is always
more plant food in the soil after mid
summer, it is likely that the second
growth clover will be nearly or quite
as good as usual, besides beings larger
crop. Second growth clover is always
the choicest hay for sheep, lambs OF
calves.

gave a greater proportion of dressed
meat to live weight than did those fed
on skim milk, and also gave more fat
on the carcass.
5. Young calves, up to three and
one-haif months of age, required less
milk and less dry matter to each
pound of gain than did the hogs.
When the calves were five and six
months old, however, more dry matter
was required, but at least half OF it
was hay.
6. When fed to calves, fully as
large financial returns were obtained
for the skim milk as when fedto hogs.
With the gain in live weight at four
cents per pound, the calves returned
twenty-five cents per hundred pounds
for the skim milk and the hogs.twenty-
two and eight-tenths cents. If the
gain in live weight was worth three
cents per pound, the calves would re-
turn five cents per 100 pounds more
for the milk than would the hogs

Three LAYERS of Atmosphere.

Professor +. II. Bigelow, Of the Uni
ted States Weather Service, presented
q paper before Section B, of the Amer
lean Association for the Advancement
OF Science recently. outlining his inyeS-
tigations of atmospheric conditions.
The first of these. entitled THE Strur-
turc OF Cyclones and Anticyclones. is
IN truth the continuation of one given
last wear at tie Detroit meeting of the
association. The paper Of last year
outlined the mathematical conditions;
the present one gave some Of the re-
suits Of observation.
1t app.ars that in the atmosphere
there are practically three distinct cur
rents OF air, the first lying ut an eleva-
ton of from 900 to 1900 metres, the
second at from $500 to 1000 metres
and the upper one at from 5000 to
5000 metres above the surface Of the
earth These are. TO an extent, sepa-
rate currents flowing each with its own
velocity. At the bottom of each Of the
layers the stratus Of clouds are form
ed. and at the top Of each Of the lay
ers occur the cumuluS clouds. This
suggests that the stratus originate at
the bottom of 4 moving current and
the cumulus at the top. 1t is probable.
then, that the stratus owe their origin
to the difference of velocity and tenn
perature of the two layers, while the
cumulus are formed by ascending cur
rents within the layer Of air.

Grating Old Orchards.

When good, healthy apple trees are
not producing fruit it is frequently
cheaper to graft them than to plant
young trees, with the added advantage
of obtaining fruit much sooner. The
best plan is to cut out few of the
healthy, upright limbs and graft them,
taking few more the next season and
the balance the third season. This
avoids any possibility of weakening
the vitality of the tree, which would
be done if all the limbs were cut for
grating at the same time. The varie-
ties selected for grating should de-
pend on the locality, the stock to be
grated and the markets. 1t would
not be difficult, however, to make a
proper selection with care. While
grating should be done in the spring,
it is a good time now to go over the
orchard, marking the improbable
trees as well as the limbs to be grated
the first season.
