ants counsel. Mr.. Weeks asked the
witness to step from the stand, sit down
at the end of the table occupied by the
attorneys for the State, go through the
performance of opening the bottle of
bromo-seltzer, show how he knocked
the contents into the glass. how he
poured the water from one glass into
another, being careful to get approxi-
mately the same amount of water that
he used in the preparation of the fata,
dose on the morning of the murder of
Mrs. Adams. Cornish complied with
the request, and proceeded to show
how much he drank of the mixture.
also about how much Mrs. Adams took
OF the poison. 1t was not until Mr..
weeks asked the witness to drink the
water In this plan to mimic reproduce
ton OF the scene that the Recorder in
terfered. Mr.. Weeks assured Cornish
that the water would not hurt him. but
the court remarked:

enough"
| Assistant District ATTORNEY Osborne
good naturally told the witness to go
ahead and drink the water. and the wit
ness picked up the glass with the re-
mark:
We'll, 1 will drink IT,
AT this point Recorder Golf again in
terfered, with the statement that he
would not permit anything of the sort
to take place in the courtroom.
Mr.. OSBORNE said that while Cornish
did not like the tactics adopted by the
attorney for the defense. he had no OBJ
lection to drinking the water if allowed
to do so by the court. This. however,
the Recorder would not consent to.
Two OF the most important witnesses
Tor the prosecution were on the stanc
during the day. They were John D.
Adams, ex-Secretary Of the Knicker-
booker Athletic Club, and Cornish. Mr.
Adams was the first witness called.
The most interesting point in connec-
tlon with MS testimony to-day was his
positive identification of the hand
writing on the poison package as that
OF Molineux- The testimony of Cornish
consisted largely of detailed descrip-
tons of the scenes of the morning of
the murder at the Adams fiat
Recorder Golf refused to allow Mr..
Weeks to ask any questions as to the
present whereabouts of Mrs Cornish,
the wife of the witness, and why Mr..
and Mrs. Rogers, the .atter the daugh-
ter of Mrs. Adams, had separated.
Few new facts were elected in the
attempts to trace the poison package
from the Knickerbocker Athletic Club
to the Adams fiat. 1t was, however,
discovered that Cornish deposited the
bromo- seltzer bottle in his desk at the
club in the presence of p. S. Finneran,
that he lost the key of the desk, and
that it was afterward found on the
floor of the Adams fiat, after the death
Of Mrs. Adams; that just before the
murder it was necessary for the en- :
gineer at the club to break open the

Any one who has examined the dis

have noticed that one of the carbons

carbon has a small cuplike hole in the
end When the lamp is lighted the
sharp point of one carbon fitted into

little cup that the sixpence was boiled
Probably it was the smallest pot and
the hottest fire in the world. He
placed the pieces of. the coin in the

fixed the other pointed carbon down
against them. Then he turned on the
electric current. He had arranged his
apparatus in front of magic lantern,

the coin, and in fact. everything could

THE TWO QUALITIES
That Cannot Fail to Render Marriage
Happy.

Happy.
II one starts on trip with friends
fhe great necessity as a means to fruit
Full pleasure Is compatibility of spirit
and a constant guard upon thoughtless
impulse. How much more Is this true
of the trip through life with the friend
chosen from out the world as the one
most worthy our love, respect and self
sacrifice. In all friendship 1t is wise to
hunt out the sunny spots to he found in
every character If rightly sought; and
SO in marriage-if man and wife find
themselves sitting In the shade of each
others dispositions, they must seek the
sunlight together or storm clouds will
gather overhead, says the National"
What we need in marital partnerships
is more courage and consideration,
courage with which to meet our own
faults; consideration with which to-
meet other peoples. A marriage ball
nnced by these weights Is sure to pros
per and point out paradise where the
circulation of the soul Is purified.
If facts were sifted, the statistical re-
suit would probably show that the ma,
5ority of married people are as happy
as it is intended mortals should be.
Unhappy marriage Is sensational,
therefore the world hears all about it;
happy marriage is like the American
whom one never hears about in En-
rope, because he is merged into the
great human class OF the unostenta-
tiously refined. wearing no sign of his
good breeding except the breeding IT.
self.
Men and women make their own
conditions; conditions do not make
them. but as Thomas Carlyle puts 1t,
life anywhere will swallow man
unless he rise and vigorously try to
swallow It,"
Marital existence, we admit, is a
struggle with possibilities and pessi-
mism; however, we are pilots Of ouu
