NOTHING OFFICIAL FROM
Turkey Regarding the Deal With
ShipbuiIder Cramp.
NO MATTER, MONEY COMES,

Washington, Dec. 3.-No proportion
has come to the United States govern
ment from Turkey looking to the pay
ment of the missionary claims under
the guise of an order for the warship
to be built in the United States While
1t hardly expected that any formal
proposition of this kind would be forth
coming, it is, of course, beyond the
power of the state department to pre-
vent or interfere with any arrange
ment that the Turkish government
may enter into with American ship
builders and individual claimants. The
point is, after all, to have the claims
paid and the state department officials
are not very particular as to the form
in which the payments are paid. Per-
haps they are Indifferent in this res
pect because of knowledge of the fact
that the Turkish government might be
terribly embarrassed by the pressure
of European creditors were the United
States government to insist upon GER
tain forms Of procedure in this case.
There are no developments in the
negotiations respecting the exequatur
of DR.. Norton, who would be United
States consul at Harpoot. The matter
is still one of correspondence, and the
authorities here are confident that the
Turkish government will, in the end,
Weld on this point.

Coal screening Law Set Aside.

Columbus, O., Nov. 3O.-By decision
of the supreme court the law requiring
coal to be weighed before it is screened
at the mines is declared unconstitu-
tional. A Hooking county operator
was arrested for violation of the law
and at once applied for writ of
habeas corpus, attacking the law on
the ground that it took property with
ont process of law and infringed upon
freedom of contract. The application
for the writ was sustained by the
supreme court.

Fourtb class Postmasters.

Washington, Dec. 1.-The postoffice
department prefers that there be nc
more changes than the interests of the
service require and that, especially in
the southern states, fourth class post
masters will continue to serve during
the next four years of the administra
ton, unless there is some good cause
for making the change. 1t is under
stood that no fixed policy will be
adopted to govern changes among pres
idential postmasters.

MORRISON CASE STATED
To The Jury ByAttOrneys Defense
Will Show Self Defense.
MRS. CASTLE BEGUN FIGHT.

Ell Dorado, Dec. 3.--County Attorney
Brumbach opened the trial of Miss
Morrison for the murder of Mrs. Castle
with; "We expect the evidence to
i, early in tie morning and went by a
circuitous route and stopped at the
home of Mrs. Davis, and then left by a
circuitous route to the home of Mrs.
Castle. Went there, as we expect to
prove, with the express purpose of
killing Clara Wiley Castle. We expect
to show that the defendant went to
that house with the premeditated pur-
pose of killing Mrs. Castle. We expect
to show that the wounds on the neck
and body of Mrs. Castle inflicted by
the defendant caused the death of Mrs.
Castle.
''The motive which actuated the de-
PENDANT in the crime will be plainly
discoverable from the evidence in this
case.
jealousy against Mrs. Castle and her
husband, G. o. Castle"
Mr.. Kraemer, attorney for the de-
Tense, said to the jury: 1.-The evidence
will show that Jesse Morrison and Olin
Castle had clerked in the Racket store.
That he had paid attentions to her,
took her buggy riding, wrote letters as
young people do. In December, 1898,
Olin Castle was engaged to Clara
Wiley but he continued his relations
with Jesse Morrison up to few weeks
before marriage. In January the de-
PENDANT went to Excelsior Springs, near
Kansas City, and even then the letters
passed between the two. In all the
conversation there was never a word
from the defendant that Clara Wiley
was not nice girl, but instead said
that Clara Wiley was friend of hers.
From the evidence we expect to show
that Clara Wiley became very Jealous
of Jessie Morrison.
1.-THE evidence will show that Miss
Morrison went to friend to secure
pattern for collar. After looking
over the samples, etc, she started
home. While passing the Castle house
she heard Mrs. Castle say; Jessie, come
in, want to talk to you Jessie Nor
rison went in and Mrs. Castle locked
the screen door. Jessie sat on the sofa
and Mrs. Castle accused her of trying
to take Olin away from her. She
accused her of writing notes to Olin
and trying to get him to meet her at
night.
FINALLY Mrs. Castle got in frenzy,
and called Jessie Morrison liar and
Jessie Morrison showed Mrs. Castle
away. Jessie Morrison dropped her
handkerchief and it was then that Mrs.
Castle got the razor and struck at
Jessie. Miss Morrison screamed and
then she tried to get that razor. Her
hands were cut and she was wounded.
She tried to preserve herself. And
when people entered the room she
said: 4 had to do it; she tried tc kill
me- The evidence will show that
when she entered that house she had
no idea of violence, and the fact that
Jessie is alive is due to the fact that
Jessie wore high collar which shield
ed her neck"
The taking of evidence in the case
was then commenced.

A bright complexion will go a great

To secure it a perfect circulation OF the
blood Is absolutely necessary, and TO
retain 1t a meat diet should be avoided.
The roses must be painted IN the
cheeks, lips and chin by nature. Alum
dant exercise and an outdoor life are
invaluable. Animal food is not con-
ducive to a fine color. Meat once a
day should be the limit. Meat broths,
soup extracts and jellies are, on the
other hand, very wholesome. Vegeta-
bles should form the diet, and as they
are numerous no difficulty Will be

crab and lobster are some of the hf-
teenth century soups that are consid-
cred favorable to beauty color. Soft
boiled eggs are among the best art1-
cles of food, and those hard boiled are

Brown beverages are said to make the

rotation next follows. In this the arms

Timely Hints.

A little boraX put in water in which
scarlet napkins and red~-bordered tow
els are to be washed will prevent them
from fading.
A small basin of water put into the
oven when meat is being cooked will
prevent any disagreeable smell or
smoke coming through the ventilator.
1t is not so much what is thought
and said that matters, but when, where
and to whom it is uttered. Striking a
light over a wet blanket is one thing,
over a barrel of gunpowder is another.
No mi is ever too old to learn
anything she wants to learn. At forty
ones mind is clearer, brighter, quicker
and more skillful than it was at TWEEN
ty, unless the person slumps down and
gives up through sheer laziness.
Turpentine, in which is dissolved as
much camphor as it will take up. is
pre-eminently the dressing for lacera-
tions, bruises and cuts. It's antiseptic
action is equal to that of carbolic acid;
it speedily stops bleeding. Few, if any
ulcers long resist it's continued appli.
cation.
