THE HELvERsoNs TRIAL.-The
prosecution of Arch and Ellie Hell
verson, OF Huntingbury, for cutting
Aaron Thompson with knife at
the Z. X. station there, occupied
most of Tuesday and Wednesday
in Circuit Court, and drew a large
crowd Of people. The evidence
showed clear case of malicious
cutting by Arch. AMI threats before
hand to cut Thompson's throat
and that Ellie had struck Thomp-
sen with his fist before the cutting,
making fair case against each.
But the skillful defense of attorneys
Milburn Il Sweeney, Ito say moth
ing of Mikes eloquent speech to the
Jury, } resulted in the acquittal by
the jury of Ellie, and his conse
quent discharge. At this writing
a motion for a new trial is pending
in Archie's case, and he is not yet
sentenced, although the jury found
him guilty. This is one instance
where able attorneys certainly saved
their client from punishment.

YELLOW FEVER SERUM.

the Sanarelli serum. while not abso-
lutely convincing. indicated very clear
ly that the professor had reached the
nearest point to the solution Of this
problem which has so long puzzled the
medical fraternity.
DR. Wyman had presented to him
by Prof sanArelli two years ago. through
the consul at Montevieo. n quantity Of
this serum and IL was tested expert
mentally during the yellow fever cpi-
demic of 1895 In the south by Surgeon
Wasdin. but owing to the mildness Of
the cases treated the test Of it, efficiency
was not satisfactory. Surgeon General
Wyman said the members Of the yellow

serum in the laboratory on animals and
that IL was not considered 20 be Of suffi-
cient potency 20 be effective. in fact
that in a communication from Sanarell
himself TO him. he had admitted as
much.
In preliminary report published by
the marine hospital service on Nov. II.

very strongly their belief that the Sans- :
relli was the true germ Of yellow fever
and in the hygenic laboratory Of the
service the preparation Of a serum. anti
amaryllic by improved methods which
will give sufficient potency has already

ARMOR IN MODERN USE.

English Officers in Foreign Service to Pro-
tcct Themselves.
In discussing the modern use of
armor by officers and men in the for
eign ''ittle wars" OF to-day, a. English
accoutrement maker, as reported by
London Tid-Bits, says: II give you my
assurance that an immense number of
the officers Of our army and navy who
go on foreignsservice, especially when
one of our little wars is expected, pro-
vide themselves with certain easily
recognized projections.
''These, mind you, are well-known
articles of trade to the service. The
commonest and most usual type of these
projections consists of fine but beauti-
fully tempered single chains, inclosed in
in soft leather, which run along the
shoulders, down the outer side of the
arms and over certain parts of the
body. These can either be sewn into a
particular tunic or they can be adjusted
separately and put on like harness
The most val cable of all chains, in cor
nection with accoutrements, are thos 4:
which guard the head, and in case1
where the regulation cap or helmet ii

Smoking In Court,

Commenting on the fact that not long
ago pastor of a church in the White
chapel district in London announced
from the pulpit that in future his hear
ers might smoke their pipes during
service if they chose, Independence
Beige says there is nothing so very
strange about that. In the Mexican
courts of law, it says, the smoking of
cigars is sanctioned by hoary custom;
there one may often see a prisoner
putting away at the fragrant weed
while answering the questions put to
him by the judge, and the latter serene
ly adds to the general smoke. Mexican
teachers reward their diligent pupils
by giving them permission to smoke
cigars or cigarettes during school
hours, and whenever the worthy peda-
gogue is in good humor the schoolroom
is thick with smoke. Smoking begets
thirst; hence on the teachers desk
stands a huge jar filed with 'pulque,' ~
the national beverage, to refresh the
tutor and tutored.

FEMININE VANITY.

It Crops Out Even Among Women Be-
hind the Bars.
Vanity in a female prisoner would
be merely laughable if it were not Sc
sad to behold. 1t is, however, the one
touch of nature which proves the hui
man llinship, and there is perhaps some
hope for even these poor, degraded
creatures, if they are thus swayed by
such harmless emotions. Prison ma
irons, says the North American Review,
would be perpetually busy if they
checked every attempt made by their
charges to adopt the last fashionable
couture. ''Fringcs" are 'going out"
perhaps, in general society, but they
are still amazingly popular in prison.
Criminals will trim their hair as it
plcases them, and the wiscst disciplin-
arian affects to see nothing of the
fringe. In the same way, once, when
chignons were in vogue, the female felt
happy whose locks escaped the prison
scissors and were long enough to fold
over a pad of oakum. The ingenuity,
again, with which some prisoners will
twist and turn their unbecoming uni
form into some faint notion of the
fashions of the day might have earned
these artists good wages in dress
makers atelicr. l have seen panniers
counterfeited and polonaises, skirts
draped or tied back, dress improvers
manufactured out of whalebones or
horse hair; no doubt when the present
''bcll" skirt is fading out of fashion it
will be largely patronized in jail. The
craze for personal adornment leads
women to skim the grease off their
scanty allowance of soup, with which
they plaster their hair. once knew
on aged prisoner who was caught
scraping the dust from the red brick
cell wall to serve her as rouge.
