Next to the patriotism displayed in
the warmth of the reception given to
the volunteers the most notable feature
of the festival was the delight of the
people in the beauty of the decorations
and in the freedom of the holiday. We
are clearly an artistic, glad-hearted,
pleasure loving community. The crowds
that thronged the streets night after
night were happy and were gay in the
exuberance of their joy in frolic We
are not of that class of Americans who
take their pleasures sadly" and who
can never be merry except when
drunk. The geniality of the climate
the prevalence of prosperity and the
influence of the Latin elements of the
population have developed the joyous
faculties of our natures, and that for
NAL dullness which marks the holiday
crowds of the East is conspicuous here
by its total. thorough and very far off
absence. 1t is evident that if a COM
pany of whole-souled men with we'll
filed purses should undertake to pro-
vide the city with an annual festival
week New Orleans would soon lose her
prestige as the Carnival City of the
United States. Indeed it is not un-
likely we might make our gala days
as world renowned as were those of
Venice in the years Of her glory.
We are a gay people and a dandy
people and people of large liberation,
but neither so gay. so dandy nor so
tolerant as some Eastern fslks think
us, or pretend to think us. The Boston

on the Ground of Provocation.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 2s.-The feature Of
the proceedings before the Eagan court mar
tial today was the testimony, dramatic IN
many parts in its quiet intensity, of Commits
sary General Eagan himself Not more tha,
nfteen or twenty people outside of the court
and dozen or SO newspaper correspondents
were admitted to the trial rooms Several
witnesses preceded the chief figure in fhe
trial 40 -e
Gen. Eagan listened intertly to the testi-
mony OF these witnesses and occasionally held
brief whispered conferences with his conn
sci. He was dressed in full uniform, withou,
sword, and his ford face white hair and
mustache, and soldiery bearing, recalled to
many the late Gen. Sheridan, to whom he
pears distinct resemblance. His call to
the stand this morning something of
surprise, as it had been thought if he testt-
fed at all it would be later
When his name was called he rose and
standing before the witness chair, raised his
right hand, took the oath administered by
the judge advocate and at first related his
mony it became apparent that the line Of de-
Tense would be justification and extreme
provocation, finally bringing on a serious
nervous condition which rendered the witness
unfit for business and made him to de-
gree irresponsible for his acts The presi-
dents order of immunity, It was also made
evident, would be relied on as applicable to

which he said had been called forth by Gen.

MINNEAPOLIS Jan. 26.-The state devoted
today to the presentation OF its case against
A B. Cushing. charged with the murder OF
Dr. Ormond County Attorney Reed outlined
his case and nine witnesses were examined.
But little Of a sensational nature was de-
Yeloped There was talk of a business card
found near the place where the body was
discovered but evidence regarding 1t was
ruled out On the ground that it was not
shown ehat it had been connected with the
defendant
The interest Of the day centered largely in
the appearance on the stand OF Mrs. Ormond
widow of the murdered man. During the
time she giving her testimony Mrs. Or
mond tainted away once, but soon recovered
and the examination continued. The most
material portion of Mrs. 0rmond's testimony
was her Identification of the clothing Of her
husband, and her reasons for believing it TO
be his body that was found at the Helmuth
farm.
The first witness was W. E. Stoopes, deputy
county surveyor, who Identified certain maps
and plats offered for use during the trial. He
was followed by Milton Helmuth, the man
upon whose farm the body was found. He
related the circumstances of the finding Of
the remains and their disposition. His story
is already familiar and departed from the
original version only in one particular. He
testified that the clothing was covered with
dust which he believed from manure
This Immediately developed as essential
point, as the theory. of the state is that the
body was removed to Helmuth's farm con-
cealed in a wagon loaded with stable refuse.
Helmuths evidence occupied the greater
part OF the morning session. IN the afternoon
the witness was on the stand for cross-ex-
animation, and, beyond the fact that the wit
ness said he would not swear positively that
manure dust was on the clothing, there was
point made.
William Strobick, another farmer living in
the vicinity. and officer Oscar Hicks who as
sisted in exhuming the body, offered evidence
that was confrmatory in its nature and not
sensational.
Four other witnesses were examined, but
aside from the evidence OF DR.. R. J. Hill. who
assisted at the autopsy. their testimony de-
veOped little that was essential, and DR..
HIS evidence was largely technical The
case will be continued in the morning.
