Der is collected in this ways the paper
is removed to one of the vacant shelves.
The same operation is begun again and
repeated until all the worms have been
removed from the place they first &C.
cupied, when the shelves are cleaned
of the debris.
THE latter operation is after each
melting period.
About the sixth day of the fifth or
last period the attendant commences
to line the spaces between the leaves
with twigs or briar, broom or oak,
placing them in an upright position at
a distance of about a foot apart, and
disposed in the form of an arch or a.
vine trellis. On the ninth day the silk
worms climb these branches in large
numbers and choose a place for spin
ming their cocoons, which they COM
plete in four days.
1.-The cocoons are collected the sew
enth day after the worms have climbed
the briars. In order to be certain that
they have finished their work and have
undergone the transformation into
chrysalids a few cocoons are taken up
in the hand and shaken. If shock is
felt the chrysalids are formed and the
branches are removed. The following
day the loose silk is taken from the
cocoons an operation styled here de
bavage.' The cocoons are then ready
for market.
THE maximum amount of cocoons
which one ounce of grain, comprising
1000 worms, furnishes is 1870 pounds,
but rtaurn of so pounds is considered
very satisfactory. From 625 to / 100 CO.
coons are required to make one pound
of silk. The total amount of cocoons
produced annually in France is about
100000 pounds"

IT saw him later on"

II saw him later on"
Well, how much later on?"
1T must have been between II and
70 o'clock
Now, that bullion came there that
morning, the crude bullion; what be-
came of it?"
Il melted it into those bars
Why did you melt the crude bullion
or place it in the bars?"
Objected to- but the witness answer
ed; TT had to be melted into bars
so you can get the correct assay of it,"
Was this your bullion?"
mo, sir it was not my bullion"
Then by what authority, if any, did
you melt it into the bars?'
Mr.. Kirk interrupted to ask the court
again to instruct the witness in regard
to his personal privileges, and the court
instructed him he could refuse to an
swer any questions that might tend to
incriminate himself. The witness re-
fused to answer.
ION what grounds?" asked Mr.. Con-
molly.
1T tends to incriminate me-"
Later Mr.. Connolly put the question
again and it was objected to by Mr..
Wines unless it was shown the au-
thority came from the defendant. The
court told the witness to answer. saying
he could not see in what way replying
to the question could incriminate him,
and that the witness was not the sole
Judge of what might tend to incrim-
mate him.
The witness replied: Il did not nave
any authority"
And YOU melted this crude bullion
into bars, without any authority"
Il had no particular authority to
work it,
Did you have any authority, par
ticular or otherwise, at that time, or
prior therefor"
well, I had some authority"
Now, from whom was that author
ity received?"
There was an advance made of
$780,"
The court instructed the witness he
need not state anything about any ad-
vances that were made and the an
swer was stricken out.
The question was repeated as TO au-
thority. and the witness said: Il had
no authority"
You have Just stated you had some
authority; state from whom that au-
thority was received or by what pro-
cess you got it.
1.-The parties that left the bullion le1t
word to that effect
The witness went on to state that ms
nephew, E. F. Mayer, had said to him
there was work for him to do. In re-
Spouse to questions and on obJectlon
being made the statement was stricken
out.
The witness was next asked by what
name he knew the defendant, and ne
replied Boyle
"Do you know what Boyle's purpose
was in your place Of business on that
Friday between II and II O'clock!
He came in with some assaylng'
What kind of assayins?
Mineral ore; l think it was hVe sam
pies .,..
"Did YOU have any conversation with
him with reference to that ore?
II asked him what the samples were
to be assayed for. and he said gold
silver and copper; gold, silver and lead
and so on"
Mr.. Mayer, don't you know that bull
lion LAYING there belonged to Mr.. Boyle
the defendant, or was claimed by him?
THAT I could not say; am not posi-
tive of that"
Il ask you, do you know itE
II don't know it.

hearty dinner. So, entering a well-known
restaurant. he sat down at table and be-
gan to study the bill of fare while the
waiter waited for his order.
He scanned the menu long and earnest
~, but could see nothing on it with which
he was familiar. Suddenly he laid the
card face upward on the table, closed his
eyes and jabbed his forefinger down saw
agely at random on the printed list with
the air of a man who had made up his
mind.

looked panied.

Certainly, sir. But what do you want

man who refused to be corrected. "A

Ziegler that Boyd and Brown were the
same, and he said that if he made such
statement he did not remember it.
Being shown number of further en-
tries in the book showing receipts of
bullion from Boyd he said they
had reference to the defendant.
The witness was shown an entry of
receipt of bullion from one A. Brown
and asked if that was the same person
as ]. w. Brown. He said he could not
remember, but was under the impress
sion that it was, as they brought the
same kind of bullion.
Mr.. Connolly then asked the witness
if his recollection of the two Browns,
or either of them, was distinct enough
for him to be able to recognize a pho
tograph of them, or either of them.
He said he might or he might not.
Being shown a photograph, he said
it was not Brown.
Considerable time was occupied with
a long list of minor questions, and Mr..
Connolly at length got down to an
other character in the case. He asked
the witness il he had ever received from
any other person any crude bullion of
the same character or class as that
brought to him by the defendant. The
reply was:
Yes, sir; there is a man by the name
of Johnson"
Asked If he had any account Of the
transaction with Johnson, the witness
replied that he had not. Later he said
he misunderstood the question: that
all his transactions We're recorded in
the book. Then he was asked to turn
to Johnson's account and show the
amount Of bullion he received from
him.
In response the witness said Johnson
never had any bullion work; that there
was another: that it was not all the
time that Boyd came in himself, but
Johnson came sometimes with some
bullion, stating Boyd would call for it,
and Boyd's name was put on the ac-
count in the book.
Mr. Wines moved to strike out, but
the answer was, after long argument,
allowed to go in on the understanding
that if the transactions of Johnson
We're not properly connected with the
defendant the matter relating to him
could be stricken out later.
Mr. Connolly then asked if Boyd did
call for the bullion Johnson brought in,
and the witness replied that he did.
when Boyd came in what did he
say?" asked Mr.. Connolly.
HE asked me for a settlement for
the bullion Johnson left there"
The witness was asked If he knew
where johnson lived. and after saying
he did not. he finally said he thought
Johnson lived in the vicinity of Phil
ipsburg. Asked if he ever saw john
son with the defendant the witness
said he never did.
The witness was next shown a pho
tograph and asked if it was a picture
of Johnson. He said 1t looked very
much like him.
Asked if the defendant ever told him
where he came from. the witness said
Boyd told him he was mining over
| around Philipsburg. Asked if Boyd
| ever told him he operated a mill, the
witness said he could not remember
| and when asked if he did not know that
the crude bullion brought him by Boyd
| the defendant, was the product of a
mill. he said he did.
After some further questioning OF
| the witness court adjourned to 9 o'clock
| this morning, when the examination OF
Mayer will be continued.

Yes, SIR
Mr.. Kirk came in with another OBJ

on the ground that it was obtaining evil
dence against himself. There was no
ruling and Mr.. Connolly continued the
examination with reference to the book
The witness was questioned with refer
ence to various entries in the book
showing purchases of bullion from the
defendant, and was asked if he had any
other records of similar transactions
He refused to answer, but was required
to do so by the court, and he then said
he had no other records.

Why So Many Words?

1t seems to US that metropolitan
journals are giving a disproportionate
amount of space to the scandals grow
ing out of our recent war with Spain.
The administration is expending more
energy in whitewashing the embaImed
beef exposure than the occasion would
appear to warrant. Every one at all
acquainted with trust methods knew
when the government entered into the
contract with the Beef Trust that it
would be swindled, if there was any
money in the swiudle for the Trust.
Every we'll informed person understood
equally we'll that certain persons high
in authority would be parties to it, else
how could the swindle succeed? 1t
was equally certain that no unpleasant
consequences would be visited upon
those who participated in the rotten
beef transactions for the reason that
William Mckinley is the bond servant
of the trusts of this country and the
Old World, and the Republican party
is their coDcubine. 1t is not stating
the case too strongly to say that Will
liam Mckinley understood he was to
become their recording secretary when
he became President. He knew that
he could never reach the presidential
chair except under this condition.
No one is in less danger from official
action, no matter what the facts are,
than the Beef Trust or its agents. If
General Miles does not know this he
must be very short-sighted man; if
he does know it, and takes his action
with that knowledge, his fearlessness
and patriotism must be regarded with
great respect, for he is the only man
likely to be injured. There is no
doubt in the minds of fair-minded peo-
pie of the truth of his statements,
neither is there any doubt of the fulfill
ty of his efforts to have the agents OF
the Trust punished.
The whole discussion could be smoth-
cred in forty-eight hours, so far as the
great city dailies are concerned, if the
Trust desired it. Perhaps 1t considers
that discussion of this kind tends to
smother the discussion of the money
question, thus preventing the very
foundation upon which the trusts of the
day stand from becoming endangered.
Again we ask, if this beef scandal
discussion is not intended to draw the
minds of the people from the attack
commenced by them upon the Money
Trust-the mother of all all the others
and to substitute something new,
why so many words about foregone
conclusionP

of Trust described. Said Deed of Trust
provides that in case any of the ac-
cruing interest on said first mortgage
bond is not paid when due, the whole
of said first mortgage bond may, at
the option of the holder thereof, be
declared due and payable at once;
And whereas, the interest due jan

Trust, and at the request of the holder
of the first mortgage bond secured

For the correctness of our statements
in regard to Omdurman we refer our
readers to recent number of the Fort
nightly Re0ieU. The facts in regard
to South Africa are not disputed.
We suppose our American Imperial
lists will make almost as creditable ex-
hibition of their civilizing powers in
the West Indies and the Philippines as
their English cousins have in Africa.
The American is not the man to let the
British beat him at anything-certain-
ly not in clvilizing the heatben. Il the
business interests of this country can
have obnoxious laborers shot down
like sheep over in Illinois and Pennsyl-
vania, for obstructing the wheels of
progress, we see no reason why they
cannot prune down the population of
the Philippines to proper proportions.
Meanwhile, let there be no failure to
take up the usual collection for the
support of foreign missions each Sun
day. We must carry the gospel to the
heather, even If it has to be borne
upon the point of the bayonet. This
nation is, above all, Christian nation,

IT is probable that the administra-
tion, in trying to belittle Schley to the
advantage of Sampson, has caught a
Tartar. He very conclusively answers
the charges made against him in a
communication recently sent to the
Senate, and scatters to the wind the
lies that have been circulated against
him solely because he stands in the
way OF government pet. After re-
viewing in full the campaign which
eliminated in the destruction of the
Spanish feet. he concludes with this
stinger:
