Of surprise
In an Interview with number of
newspaper representatives previous to
the commencement of the examination
cornish, when asked if he knew Mrs
MollneatiX, and If she could have any
connection with the case. said that he
wished the Assistant District Attorney
would ask him that question on the
stand.
"A man is supposed to periure him

l am here to tell the truth if they ask
me such question"
This seemed a significant statement

torney Osborne put those very oues-
tons 10 him. 10 which Cornish made
the following answer

While it has not been officially acted
upon. It has been practically decided to
call the May Carnival a Mischanza de
Vrginiana, which means general
jubilee. Those who are interested in
the movement declare that the enter
tainment will be the superior by far OF
any amusement feature ever under
taken in the Old Dominion.
While the undertaking is not yet
thoroughly organized there is no doubt
that Mr.. Thomas j. Anderson will be
rendered the office of general manager,
and he said yesterday he would ac-
cept, provided he did not leave the city
in the meantime. This is great
source of satisfaction to the promoters
OF the scheme, who realize the fact
that with Mr.. Anderson at the head
OF the affair it is bound to be a great
success, Mr.. Andcrsons ability being
recognized by everyone.

mischianza yesterday, expressed the
opinion that it Should be made a per-
manent or yearly affair, and that with

If he had known Henry G. Barnet, and
replied that he was a warm personal
friend of that man. Il friendship that
had lasted several years. He could
suggest no motive why any one should
send poison 10 Barnet. and declared
that he had not known Barnet was
sick until a few days Dcforc Barnet's
death. and this he learned. he eX-

which the yachting trip on a. j. Nor

been introduced into the case, came up
for consideration. Molneaux said he
had been on several cruises on this

to her by her married sister.

Grip Is characterized by n continued
fever, by a tendency to inflammation
of the membranes or the digestive and
often the respiratory tracts. by pain in
the muscles, and by debility
The grip in individual cases varies
from slight indisposition To severe
forms with grave symptoms-these va
riations depending wholly upon the
health. age, temperament or nervous
condition of the person. Those predis-
posed To rheumatism suffer great pain
in the muscles; persons of nervous tenn
permanent become low spirited, often
have hystcria, and. if not closely
watched, have been known To commit
suicide. Several cases of this sort have
been reported this month in the news
papers Headache is n constant synp-
tom. The bowels are generally consti-
pated Whatever form the disease takes
there is invariably extreme prostration
The danger 10 persons in previous

1T has been absolutely proven that
there is one certain preventive of Sc

one remedy for persons suffering with
it, or beginning TO be convalesccnt from
its attack.

There is a feeling of uneasiness in
political circles at Washington City.
1t is believed that when Mrs. Ha-
zen becomes the wife of Admiral
Dewey she will inspire her husband
with the ambition to become presi-
dent. 1t is now recalled that Dewey
declined to accompany Mckinley on
his recent stumping tour through
the west, the main object of which
was to defeat John r. Mclean in
Ohio. AS Mrs. Hazen is McLean's
sister, the reason of the admiraps
refusal is manifest. Mrs. Hazen is
known to be an ambitious woman,
and as her marriage is not to be
long delayed the question in the
public mind which will probably be
answered at an early date is will she
influence her husband to enter pol

given as regularly as has been the
custom heretofore. Our little ex

with interested bulls and bears who
looked as if they were at sea, as to
whether they should sell their hold

that the situation wsuld turn one

Combinations are the outgrowth
of the protective tariff, according
to Mark Hanna. He is the first re-
publican of his kind to acknowledge
that the tariff is the parent of the
trusts. Many more progressive and
broader minded republicans have
recognized that the trusts gain an
immense benefit from the tariff and
they have declared themselves in
favor of abolishiug tariffs wherever
they protect trusts. But Mr.. Han
na is the only man in the country
who has the temerity to commit
the double folly of defending trusts
because they are the creation of
the tariff, and of praising protec
ton because it has built up the
trusts. Kansas City Star.
