national mining and industrial exhibition
in Coolgardie. the principal city of the
Western Australian gold fields. and suit
able buildings are being erected, ready for

first intended to be entirely confined to
mining, has been enlarged, and now enl-
braces arts, industries, manufactures, I'M
plements, food products, etc, being IN fact
thoroughly comprehensive.
This exhibition offers the opening up of
a trade on what are undoubtedly the most
extensive and the wealthest gold fields of
the world. 1t is under the patronage of the
Western Australian government and
granted the privileges of free railage to the
exhibition and free bond except where ex
hibits are sold They have also placed upon

exceed one hundred million dollars per
month, an aggregate double that of
our imports, stepping stone only
in the march of the United States to this
prominent position Of the greatest COM

tunity not to be neglected Of pushing our
products to the front, particularly to points
on the Pacific ocean, destined to be the field
Of the great commercial contest looming
up in the near future and in the direction
of our newly acquired colonies In the Phil

aav- They were in the nature of an apph-

Mr. Hayward was closely uueSlioN
concerning the value of properly IN HIS

In reply to this he stated that ne owneo

property in Berkeley all valued at soo"'
$4,000 But they were encountered NY

SEQ Der month. Half of this went to pay
Interest and living expenses.
Refare his wife left him. Hayward said.
he allowed her $50 month upon when 10
run the household. The proposition was
her own and he unhesitatingly consented
to 1t until, after while, he discovered
that his wife was not devoting the money
TO the liquidation OF family expenses. Bills
from the butcher, the baker and the candle
stick maker came pouring upon him thick
and fast. When he told her that unless
she applied the money where 1t belonged
he would cease to entrust her with more
this didn't suit the lady of the house ana
she threatened to leave him unless ne
changed his mind aoour matters. He
Admit change his mind and she left him,
according to promise.
This is one side of the story, as told by

Shaw inquired.
II know that some of 1t went TO support
her mother. She used % stock up her
mothers house with provisions and was
confident that for some time 1 was paying
for the support of an extra person whom l

money!" pressed the court
"WeH. Judge, there was-another-an-
other-Judge, / don't like to tell you who
1t was. Don't ask me to tell you who 1t
was
Hayward had come to tears and his last
words were in the nature of a pleading.
Judge Shaw evidently took compassion
on the man addressing him from the wit
ness stand and informed him that he need
not answer.
Examination along lines concerning
property was then resumed, in which it
was brought out that just prior to the de-
parture Of Mrs. Hayward from her home
