There are now many thousands OF

maturity, are all coming to be better
understood, which will greatly slim

more pleasant and profitable to the
growers and more satisfactory to the
buyers and consumers. The improve

have been both marvellous and graft

the great sources of income In the dis

The improvement In our domestic

Importance and desirability OF pro-
curing pure-bfed sres Is becoming
general throughout the state. With
this improvement In breeding and

"Henry "" Well Presented by II,
Georgetown Dramatic Club.


King Henry w." was rendered last
night by the Dramatic Club of Georgetown
University, at CASTOR Han, before a large
and appreciative audience. For the last
two months Prof. Charlemagne Koehler,
formerly with Booth and Barrett, and
many of the present stars, had drilled the
young men in their respective parts, and it
was the consensus OF opinion of the au-
dience that it was the best of its kind
ever produced in the theatrical history OF
the college. They acted with very Little
trace of amateurishness, and none were
attacked with the dreaded stage fright. ="
The scenery and costumes were such as
only seen upon the professional stage.
Music was given by the mandolin quar-
tette, an adjunct of the college glee club.
The title role of Sir John Falstaff, with
his joviality and Unsuitable thirst for sack,
was well Interpreted by c. NJ. Barry. His
corpulency, the large leathern belt that
surrounded II, the short sword, and his
ponderous brass shield kept the audience
in continual laughter. His acting, how
ever, was marred by an unfortunate occur
renee. Near the end of scene 3, act II,
while attempting to explain to the Prince
of Wales that he had fought nine men in
buckram instead OF two, he dropped pill
low with which he was padded. Only
the thorough training that the students
had received prevented 1t from resulting
disastrously.
Charles V. Moran, the famous shortstop
of the college baseball team, made cred
liable Hotspur. He is an elocutionist of
some merit, and the uncomfortable passion
OF Hotspur was excellently portrayed.

Subject of Enquiry.

Subject of Enquiry.
Cincinnati, April 25.-There was a fair
attendance and good sport today at New
port despite the threatening skies and a
muddy track. One favorite only won, but
the rest were second choices. The judges
seem to be still pursuing quiet investi-
cation OF w. Roach,s Mizpah as a result
OF that horses defeat the first day of the
meeting with Jockey Lamley up. Lamley,
it is claimed, is related to Roach, and some
claim the jockey owns an interest in Mz-
pah himself. The judges have forbidden
Lamley riding Mizpah again or riding a
contender-in race with Mizpah, and to-
day they called up Jockey Turner before
the race to tell them what instructions he
had received from the trainer as to the
riding of Mizpah. After the race Turner
was again questioned regarding the way
the horse handled himself in the mud
etc. No suspicion is attached to Turner
but the, judges wanted further to inform
themselves as to Mizpah's ability. Miz-
pah, the favorite, seemed simply unable
to concede the twenty pounds today to
Gold Fox. However, the decision against
Lamley's riding still stands.

fight with Robert Fitzsimmons. The
morning was spent on the road in the
company of Jim Daily and in the afternoon

and skipping the rope. The salt air
agrees with him and he is obliged to do
hard work to keep his weight down as low
as possible. Tommy Ryan will arrive

in charge. Speaking of Fitzsimmons, De-

THE POWELL MURDER TRIAL.
The Plea of seIf-Defence Will BE
Made.


Made.
Considerable progress was made yester-
day in the case of James Powell, who is on
trial in Criminal Court No. 1, charged with
the murder of William Patrick Lee ON Oc-
tober 10 last. The empaneling Of the jury,
which was begun on Monday, was COM
pleted shortly before noon yesterday, and
Mr.. Shillington, who represents the Gov
ernment. made statement of what it was
expected to prove as to the defendants
connection with the killing Of Lee.
According to the statement, the deceased
and the defendant and several others at
tended an entertainment at Cadet Arm
ory Hail. which is located in Street, be-
tween Seventh and Eighth Streets. Pre-
vious to the killing of Lee it is claimed
that he had difficulty with John Lewis,
one of the party, whom he struck with a
stick. Just at this time someone in the
crowd cried out, xiii him." Up to that
moment, from the testimony it appears
that Powell, the defendant, was merely a
looker-on in the party and did not take
any part in the trouble between Lee and
Lewis. When the cry of XIII him" was
heard, however it is said that without
waiting moment Powell rushed up to Lee
and stabbed him in the neck with knife
which he had in, his hand. Lee staggered
a few steps and fell and Powell made his
escape. He was, however, arrested next
day near Benning while attempting to es-
cape from the District on a freight car.
1t is also claimed by the Government that
Powell admitted the killing of Lee.
The defendant Is represented by Thomas
L. Jones and L. NJ. King, who yesterday
intimated that the line of defence will be
that John Lewis, Samuel Sydney and John
Wells, three of those who were present at
the time Lee was killed, had conspired
with the deceased to take the life of the
defendant.
The first witness called by the Govern
ment was Deputy Coroner L. w. Glaze
brook, who performed the autopsy on the
dead body of Lee at the morgue. He de-
scribed the wound found in the neck of the
deceased and stated that it was the cause
Of his death.
The next witness who testified was John
A Wells, an eyewitness to the killing. He
said that after the party had left the hall
Lee and Lewis had some trouble on the
sidewalk. and that the former struck the
latter with a small walking stick. short
while after this. he said. Powell appar-
emily without provocation stepped up to
Lee and, as the witness expressed 1t,
struck Lee fist blow in the breast" Lee
then cried out, I'm cut and, staggering
few feet, fell to the ground. John Lewis
was called next and substantially corrob-
GRATED the testimony given by Wells.
Lewis was on the witness stand at the
hour of adjournment.
The jury is composed of the following:
E. N. Moxley, George Frederick. w. w.
Fisher John II. Davis, John ID. Schofield
Henry NJ. Padgett, William L. Burroughs,
Harry Kaufman, Uda A. Pestel. Perry w.
