MOORE MURDER TRIAL.
The Defendant Relates His Story
of the Shooting.

NEVADA CITY, June 16.-The prose-
cution closed to-day in the case of Ed
Moore for the murder of Officer Kilroy.
Attorney Tyrell then stated that the
defense proposed to prove that ;lilroy
had on the night of the killing, made
an unprovoked assault on Moore and
threatened. pistol in hand, ito do him
up; that Moore had fer twenty years
lived alone in a cabin in the woods. and
had become insane on various subjects,
one delusion being that Kilroy was
constantly pursuing him and was liable
to kill him; that Moore's great uncle,
uncle and cousin were in asyluns fer
the insane; that his aunt was demented
and his mother had died a lunatic.
Moore went on the stand. He re-
memhered clearly every incident of the
quarrel to the moment Kilroy grabbed
him by the shoulders. which was the
instant the shooting began. He says
that he was struck on the head, and
beyond that point his mind was blank
TIL he got to his cabin. Then he f1c..
because he was afraid the mob would
tear him to pieces. He said he did not
know until he was in Jail at Martinez
that he had shot Kilroy

A VIRTUE OF OLIVE OIL.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Say it Will
Prevent Intoxication.

The glasses We're going round, when
the man who had been in the navy
spoke: Wait minute, boys. We've
had several. Let me give you a tip
that learned when I was on the China
station. You are pretty good drinkers
you Kentucky boys, and you can hold
your own with anybody, East, West or
North who tries to put you under the
table. But unless you carry out my
plan don't you ever stack yourself up
against an Englishman, and especially
an army or naval officer. You could
knock them out on whisky, but they
don't drink it, except in the shape of
smoky Scotch and Irish denominations.
But with champagne, Burgundy, claret,
ale, sherry, Madeira, port, pulque in
Mexico, saki in China, palm liquor in
Africa. bamboos and shandygaff in In
dia, steer clear of them-that is, unless
you have the good luck to meet cer-
tain little, yellow-faced, wizened Creole
from Louisiana whose recipe is passed
around the mess table of United States
men-of-war to this day.
1t started in the old days when the
British officers always had the pleasure
of outstaying their American guests
or hosts whenever two ships met on
foreign stations. Then that little yell
low devil came along with his trick,
and the Engishman has never since
come out better than second in any
drinking bout. The secret? Olive oil.
One wineglassful before the fun be-
gins, and, if possible, another later on.
and you can keep your wit and legs
throughout the dampest evening
suppose one of two things happens.
Either the Oil coats the stomach and
keeps the alcohol from being absorbed
by the system, or else it floats ON top
and keeps the fumes from rising to- the
brain. But you'll have to ask the
medicine men about that. All know
is it's practical result, and that has en-
abled us Yankee Doodles to go home
cheerful and clear headed many an
evening when our foreign cousins were
eechless.-Louisville Courier-J ournal.

Theory Of Dual Natures.

The mystery of dual personality is
certainly strange one. We have all
felt the disappointment of finding the
hopeful, sustaining and sympathetic
supporter of one day change into the
cold, Indifferent and despondent person
of another. And by the time we reach
our maturity we have all come to the
conclusion of the old Quaker's wife who
remarked to her husband: tAll the
world is queer. John, except thee and
me-and theess little queer" 1t is
odd, too, that while we notice the in
consistencies in the conduct of others,
we never realize that we ourselves are
subject to the same changes Many
people have these variations Of moods
so strongly marked that we often ask
ourselves which is the real man or wo-
mant-the attractive, lovable individual
of yesterday, or the morbid, irritable
creature of to-day.
The mystery of the direct influence
of the brain upon those spiritual quali-
ties that we feel belong to the soul is
one that has never yet been solved
For example, a man is honorable and
kind to his family, but little by little
he permits alcohol to harden his BRAIN
whereupon his whole nature changes.
and the qualities which have made him
esteemed disappear. while other entire
ly opposite characteristics obtain the
ascendency. On the other hand, one
who is genial and companionable when
more or less under the influence of a
stimulant Is anything but an agreeable
companion when deprived OF it. Which
is the reau man, we cannot help asking
ourselves.
A case on record in surgical journals
was that of a mechanic. who in his
way was an ideal workingman- -cheery,
brave and industrious. He was popu-

children. for whom he provided a most
happy home. One day an accident oc-

MINISTER sTORER
Received in Formal Audience by
the Queen Regent.

MADRID. June 16.-The newly ap-
pointed Minister to Spain. Bellamy
Storer, was received in formal audience
by the Queen Regent to-day There
were no speeches, only a few cordial
phrases were exchanged.
Two state carriages from the royal
stables conveyed Mr.. Storer from the
Hotel de Rome to the palace and took
him back to the hotel after the aud
ience. Premier Silvela presented Mr.
Storer to her majesty.
There We're no crowds about the pail
ace, Mr.. Storer's reception being unan-
nounced in order to avoid disagreeable
incidents. The fact that there We're
no speeches is not surprising, as this
is the practice when Ministers are re-
ceived. Speeches are only made in
the case of ambassadors.
Nevertheless, the Queen Regent was
very amiable and complimentary
toward Mr.. Storer, and inquired cor
daily concerning the health of Mr..

Peace parties have opposed every wal
which this country has waged. They
have sought TO. weakenthe United Sta+aa
government by their open antagonist,
during the war and to blacken il with
tales OF horror after the declaration of
peace. Yet they have all failed to ston
or shorten any conflict in this nations
history, never have won even the passino
approval of the people at large, and have
succeeded only in accomplishing their
destruction.
The revolutionary war was opposed
by the Tories. They were too cowardlv
to brave the perils of the field: they
skulked in the rear and wagged their
tonguen. When peace came between
the United States and England thew
were still unpacified, but those who did
not change their coats fed to Canada
and all were lost to view in the political
life of the time.
The war of 1912 was opposed by a
noisy group in the Federal party. This
group harrassed the government. In q
few states it demoralized the MALTA. It
formally voiced its protest in a conven-
tlon at Hartford. But when peace came
1t has succeeded only in celebrating the
Ole Federal party without leavino p
single politician even to bear the copper
head standard. Not one of them ever
reappeared on the surface of American
politics.
The Mexican war was opposed by
many Wing politicians. Other Whie
politicians declined to regard the war as
a political issue and gave the admins
tratlon hearty support. Most of the !
anti-whigs retired from public life and
the party saved itself from extinction in
1913 only by making a war campaign
with a war hero for a presidential can.
The war of the rebellion was opposed
1861 by a large party of the democ-
