EVIDENCE FAVORABLE

Yesterdays session of the trial of Mrs.
Minnie Adams. charged with the murder
of her infant son. John Richard Gray, al
most ended in a free for all fight shortly
after clock. Some unusual actions on
the part of Assistant District Attorney
Salomon reused the anger of Attorney
Mack who represents the accused, and
when Mack saw that his anger was get

court to adjourn. Judge Lawlor, under
standing the reason for the request, i'm
mediately ordered an adjournment and
the prompt withdrawal of Salomon avert
ed disturbance.
Officer Herlihy was undergoing cross
examination and was not enjoying the
grill in the least, when salomon made
some remark and then smiled blandly at
the jury. Another smile at the jury from
Solomon resulted in Mack losing his tenn

mon was deprived of the privilege of con-
Guiding his answer TO the charge of un-
gentlemanly conduct.
The little difficulty between counsel was
but the closing scene of an interesting
day. The defense succeeded in weaken
ing the case of the prosecution. Officer
J. p. Harrington was called by the de-
fense and brought the records of the
O Farrell street station with him. The
record shows that officer Herlhy, who
said that he saw Mrs. Adams leave the
drug store at the corner of Geary and
Devisadero streets ten minutes before 9
clock, tear off a label from a bottle and
throw it on the sidewalk, was at the sta
ton at 9:45 o'clock. He also remained
around there a few minutes and in con-
sequence, If the records 40 not lie, could
not have been at the corner mentioned
at the hour named. This was hard
blow to the prosecution. Next Conductor
Herring of the Geary street car. on which
Gripman o. T. Cox said Mrs. Adams pro-
ceeded to her home after leaving the drug
store testified that he did not see any
woman get on the car as testified by Cox
Cox said that the woman went inside the
car and he noticed her look around to-
ward the drug store. Herring. who. if
that be true, must have been near her
all the time. collected her fare and
stopped the car for her to get off at Par
ker avenue. if she got off there as al
legged. remembered none of these things
He remembered no woman nor any of the
incidents set forth. When Herring left
the stand Herlihy was called. the trou-
BILE between counsel arose and the case
was continued until this morning.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
infiamed condition OF the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachinn Tube. When
this tube gets inflamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing
and when it is entirely closed deaf
ness is the result, and unless. the in
fammation can DO taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition
bearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by
catarrh, which is nothing but an in
famed condition Of the mucous sur

The FIoriston Paper Mills.

Work on the new paper mills at
Floriston is going ahead rapidly. The
Reno Journal says that when conf
pleted the plant will consist Of seven
large mill buildings, all of brick and
iron. with combination roofs of wood
and iron. An idea of the area they
will cover may be obtained from the
dimensions given in the following
paragraph: The principal structure.
in which ls to be placed the pulp
making machinery, will be $50 feet
long, 70 feet wide and nearly all
three, stories high. The other build.
ings, all Of which save one which is
60 feet by 152 ard is to be used for
storage purposes, will be devoted to
the manufacture and preparation of
paper. They are of the following di-
mansions in feet: 70 by 22O; so by $50;
70 by 80 and 40 by 60 respectively; all
built OF Calitornia brick, with heavy
floors and steel trusses. In addition
to- these. the contract calls for the
erection Of Is commodious cottages
on small plateau overlooking the
mill site. These are for the use of
the MILL superintendents and en-
ployees, and are already beng built.
Power will be furnished by the
whole Of Tfuckee river, giving II a
fall of 30ifeet. A great dam is being
built diagonally across the stream,
which will be conveyed one.fourth of
a mile in pipe nine feet in. diameter.
This pipe will be made principally of
wooden slaves and iron, the last few
sections will be Of reinforced steel to
Withstand che mighty pressure. The
fall from dam to power house is 80
feet. Seven turbine wheels will SUD-
ply the power; two 80 inch wheels,
one 33 inch, three 80 inch and one

American Tea.

Charles w. Shepard, who is in
charge Of the experimental tea gar
den at Summerville, 8. c., has made
a report to the Secretary Of Agricul.
ture covering the progress made up
to date. He says there are now
about fifty acres of land under tea
cultivation, and 5000 pounds were
sold last year at profit of % per
cent, 1t ls estimated that when all
the plants now growing arrive at ma
turity they will yield 10000 pounds
annually. DR.. Shepard expresses the
opinion that the fact that the tea
plants lived through last winter,
when the most intense cold in the
history OF the section was experienced
i8 q guarantee that the weather con.
ditions will prove satisfactory. The
labor problem, he says, has been
solved by establishing school for
the education Of negro children in
tea picking.
The quality Of tea also has proved
satisfactory. or the black tea he
says: at has distinctly Characters.
tic flavor, and like some Of the
choicer Oriental teas, its liquor has
more strength than it's color indi-
Gates
4 The green tea, he says, has attract
ed keen interest in the trade and
among consumers, and he adds that
Oriental teas can hardly furnish the
like in this country"
