ATTORNEY YEAeER,s rRIAI.
The Accused ON the Stand in His ovvn
Defense

The trial of Attorney Lewis ]. Yeager
who is charged with violation of the age of
consent law, dragged along slowly yester-
day in Criminal Court No. 1, where the
proceedings are being he'd. II was expec, e /
that the case would have been concluded
yesterday. There is every reason 10 be-
iteve, however, that a verdict will be
reached by noon today. A new feature of
the case was developed just before the ad-
Journment of the court. In their request

trial. 70 consider Edith Schnebel, the al
legged victim of Yeager. as an accompliee.
The discussion OF the point was postponed
until this morning, when counsel on both
sides will be heard in the matter.
When the Government closed its case
several witnesses were called for the de-
fence 10 give testimony as to Yeager's rep
utation. All these testified, so far as
they knew. that he bore a good rep
utRtSon amcng those who knew him.
Yeager took the witness stand 10 tes-
tify in his own behalf. He was calm
and deliberate in his every statement
and made fat denial OF every material
part Of the testimony adduced by the Gov
ernment. He gave an account OF his es-
cape from the Sixth precinct station the
night of July 3 last. The last he remem-
beTs of his actions on that night, he stated,
was taking two drinks of whisky and two
powders for nervousness about l0:30 p. m.
The next he remembers is having awakened
in hotel in Georgetown the morning fol-
lowing. OF the manner in which he made
his escape from the Sixth police station, or
by what means he reached Georgetown, he
stated, he has not the slightest recollection.

BRIGHTwooD CITIZENS MEET.
The Suburbs Future and Proposed
improvements Discussed.

y
improvements Discussed.
The Brightwood Citizens Association
held a meeting at Brightwood Hall last
night. The members were called to order
by President Louis P. Shoemaker, who an
nounced that they had as their guests sew
eral members of various citizens associa-
tions, and L. NJ. Saunders, who would
make an address to the assembly, relative
to the advantages OF Brfghtwood as a resi-
dence section of the city. Three resolu-
tions were unanimously adopetd
The first referred to the lighting Of
Brightwcod Avenue, and was in the form
of a request for the use of electric instead
of gas lamps The second resolution con-
tanned a request to the management of the
street railway line running through Bright
wood, to have the trolley poles along the
line painted white, in order that they could
be easily distinguished. A suggestion was
made in the form of a third resolution for
the establishment OF public library,
somewhere in the suburb, where books
could be circulated free of charge among
those who cared to ask for them. Presi-
dent Shoemaker then addressed the asso-
citation and its guests regarding the pro-
posed street extension plans and urged
their speedy execution.
L. NJ. Saunders was then introduced, and
he talked for half an hour on the future
Of Brightwood. He declared that be
thought BTightwood would be the future
residence section Of the working people,
as land was cheaper and accommodations
better than in any other suburban locality.
! Following the address of Mr.. Saunders, the
| president read a letter from Judge Charles
| f. Scott, of the Police Court, in which
he expressed his appreciation OF the work
/ lpipp dOua hv the rifiZapc' aS-
! sociation and requested that he be made

elected The meeting then adjourned and
the members were the guests of Mr.. Shoe
maker at an oyster supper, served in the
large dining room OF the Brightwood
Hotel Several speeches were made during

AMONG OUR ADVERTISERS.
Fox & Rounds,

AS firm Fox q Rounds do not
need n write-up in order to be known.
We are, however, glad to point out the
stout Grounds" in the ladder of their
successful climbing.
The firm is composed of George Fox
and Charles Rounds, and has been so
constituted for years. In addition to
his interest here, Mr.. Fox owns like
plant in Mayville. But we are most
concerned with the Ground" end of
the firm and the manager of the Yale
plant. From the time of purchase, Jan.
l, 1898, they have had the full trust and
patronage of its constituents. A boy
once said that it might have been bet
ter had he chosen different father at
the start; and he regretted not having
done so. This firm were fortunate in
choosing A. w. Ferguson as their pred
ecessor, and they found the exception
to the rule in the good "Sandy" foun-
dation to build on.
Experience has fitted Mr.. Rounds for
his place. Ere entering mercantile life
he was twelve years builder and has
spread mortar and hewed stone many
long day. This enables him to know
the needs and help his patrons buy to
their advantage. The firms store is
full of hardware of all kinds, from top
to bottom and bullying out on all sides.

In prices or styles. and all that's neat.
Their general stock is ght down 10 date;
And the prices are awfully hard TO mate.
Lest you may wander and miss the place,
Rounds will be there with his handsome face.

Antiquity oE Belle

Before the time of bells various in struments were used to summon con- gregations to worship. In Egypt they are said to have followed a Jewish cus- tom in using a trumpet. Tn some Or iental churches a kind Of rattle gave the signal In monasteries monks took it in turn to go roand the cells, calling the inmates to their devotiops by knocking with a hammer, which was called the awakening instFu- ment." Bells of one kind or another are, however. of very great antiquity. having been used in religious cers- monies by many Of the ancient nations as means of honoring their gods and summoning them to the feasts. For example. the feast of Osiris and Isis was always announced by bells. Piiny says that bells were in use long before his time. being called "Tin tin nabula. " The use of small bells fnoIae) in Eng land, says William of Malmesbury, may be traced back as far as the fifth century, and 1t is clear from Bede that even those of the larger kind (cam- panae), such as sounded in the air and called numerous congregation to dt- vine service. were employed in Eng land as early as the year $50, being that in which the Abbot Hilda died.

4 CAPTIVE KING.
lomenshoro lKyl Inquirer.

f0wensboro (Ky) Inquirer.I
 In ancient times the Roman con- querors carried the captive kings to Rome, where. chained to the chariot wheels of the victor they graced the triumph and brought shouts from the populace, which were as glad music to the ears of the returning hero. Poor old Joe Blackburn pre- sents just such spectacle now as did the captive monarch at Rome He has been as effectually captured as eyer was barbaric king, his po- liticai life being spared on the same terms, service, abject and covering, for the boon of being allowed to live. That life is not certain, depending as it does on the caprice of the king, who may or may not prolong it as Ghe whim possesses.
 Think of Joe Blackburn servitor to Goebel. The time was when he stood forth in his own might, that he would have spurned the uncer- tain place that is all he can now lay claim to as he would dog in his path. When John l.. Sanford, the pest friend that old Joe ever had, was shot down at Covington, he heard it and hastened to his strick- en wife and children to comfort them, apolo9izing for appearing in a light suit of clothes by saying that he had not time to change bis gar ments, but jumped on the first train that would take bim to Coyington. h speaking of the crime that had shocked the community and the State he declared his hope that God would allow him to live long enough to see the shedding of his brothers s blood avenged. And Saudford was his brother, not in blood, but in ties almost as dear Together they had fought, fed aud famished for four years under the Southern Cross, and afterward the friendship grew and strengthened as time went by, When Blackburn was a candidate for Senator Sandford's money went to help him When he was elected the heart of his old comrade was filled with joy. Why should he not desire vengeance or at least justice for his slayer? Sandford's last act was to defend Blackburn and cham pion his cause. The fact that he was for Blackburn and had secured the votes of his county for him cost him his life, Goebel advocated an- other candidate, Gen, Buckner, and being beaten, assailed Sandford' private character in way that nc man could stand, and which he knew the gallant old Confederate womb not stand. Preparing himself ht pretended to give him a chance fol his life, but took no chance on his own. There could be but one re suit, and Blackburn's friend wa: dead.
 To see him now endeavoring tt elevate one who did the deed to pre- vent his own elevation or to aveng' himself for the effort to assist Black burn is enough to make one doub whether there is anythlng sincer or lasting in friendship. There ar few sadder sights than this of Black burn, old. broken in health ant
