not fortunate enough TO have patroniz-
ed the epicurcan dream given last night
by the Kings Daughters of the First
Presbytcrion church. but the affair de-
serves more than passing notice. 1t

Harry Cornish Accuses Molincaux of
Having Sent Him the Poisoned Bro
mo Scltzer.
NEW, YORK, Feb. 23-Har-y Cor
nish on the witness stand at the Ad-
ans Inquest to-day, accused Roland b.
Molineaux. of having sent him the pois-
oned bromo settler. His story was that
he thought Molineaux had sent him the
poison because he was the only man
who had shown great enmity toward
him: that he had lied about him and
prosecuted him; that he had lied about
others In the club: that there was en-
nifty between Barnet and Molineaux,
and that Molineaux had started stor-
les about members of the Knickerbock-
er Athletic Club. Witness stated that
Molineaux being In rival club was
jealous OF him. He declared that the
coroner must search the athletic clubs
OF New York City for the murderer OF
Mrs. Adams.
He suspected MolneauX OF having
sent Kutnow powders to Barnet. He
testified that Mrs. Molineaux's state
ments that she had never been In Bar
nets room alone were false. He knew
of a person who had seen Mrs. Molin-
eaux and Barnet drinking wine In the
latter's room when no other person was
present. Witness stated that MolineauN
was his bitter enemy and the only man
he knew OF who could have a motive
for wishing to Toxic his life. Cornish
was very earnest In testlfying and con-
tradicted much that he said when he
was first examined by the coroner.
Cornish was asked several times 10
give the names Of men who had told the
stories that he repeated about Molin-
eauX.
Ee said that he could not remember
them all. but that he had no doubt
these men would come forward and
substantlate his story as soon as they
heard he had told It.

VERY EASY.
Things that Can be Done Without

1t is easy to be cheerful when one

1t is edsy, by careless word, to shat

make proper amends.
It is easy to criticise n work Of art,
much easier than to produce one. That
Is one reason why critics are SO plenti-
ful.
1t Is easy to tell man not to worry
when his mind Is burdened with thou
sand cares. The fellow who makes the
suggestion does not have to carry the
load.
1t Is easy to make list of remedies
for4t the bodily troubles incident TO WIN

that are really worth buying.
1t Is easy to see why Duffy's Pure
Malt WhIskey is so highly priced, and Is
a standby in the family.
This wonderful preparation has saved
the lives OF thousands and It may save
yours. 1t is to-day preserving the health
Of countless individuals. The govern

From the Weekly Telegraph: A
young lady in a chapel choir near Pom
typool passed ON note last Sunday to
her lover, who was seated in the front
row. The choir sat Immediately be-
hind the pulpit. The note was given to
the conductor, who handed it to his
neighbor, who, thinking it was some
thing for the preacher, touched the
reverend gentleman on the arm and
handed him the bit Of paper. The min
lister hurriedly opened the note, stared
at 1t in amazement, then grew confused
turned the paper to look at the address
folded it up carefully and handed It to
the young man for whom 1t was in
tended, and then struggled for some
minutes to regain hold Of the threads
Of the interrupted discourse. Mean
while, two scarlet faces in the choir
told tale which set the congregation
wondering.
