THE "SAPHO' TRIAL.
April Named as the Date For TT
COmmcnccment.


COmmcnc
New York, March 24.--Justicc Furs
man in the criminal branch of the su-
preme court has decided that Miss Olga
Nethersole and the other parties defend
ant in the Indictment returned by the
grand jury shall be tried on Tuesday,
April 3.
Abraham Hummel, counsel for the de.
PENDANTS, appeared before Justice Furs-
man. accompanied by Louis Nethersole,
brother of the defendant actress. Mr..
Hummel had power of attorney for the
four defendants, none of whom appeared.
and he entered plea of not guilty. Then
he said to the court:
II am anxious for speedy trial in this
case, and l told the prosecuting officer
that | would be ready for trial on Mon
day next. This indictment. however,
has been found against n woman If re-
finemcrt. and she has been so shocked by
it that she is now i'll in bed. Her ply
sician informs me that she cannot possi-
bly, be able to attend the trial for at least
a week. l have no desire to take ad-
vantage Of any technicalities in the mat
ter and therefore ask for an adjournment
for a week or more"
Assistant District Attorney O'Reily,
in answering, said that he had been in
formed of the truth of the statements
made by Mr.. Hummel and that he
would gladly consent to the request made
by counsel for the defendants for an ad-
journment. The date for the trial was
then fixed.
Justice Fursman asked counsel if they
thought the regular panel of talesmen
now in that branch of the court could be
used to secure jury. MIR. Hummel
thought that, in view of the publicity
that had been given the previous pro-
ceedings in the case it would be hard
to get jury, and Justice Fursman con-
sented to new panel of 100 talesmen.
Owing to Miss Nethersole's illness,
Wallack's theater is closed.

to Washington a terrible railroad coll
Iision occurred, in which Mrs. Pierce lost
her only son. His head was crushed
under a beam, and from his tragic death
she never recovered.
But such gloom as there was in the
White House was speedily dIspelled by
the arrival of Harriet Lane, the niece
of James Buchanan, a young woman
with whom the young Prince of Wales
fell violently in love. After his return
home from his visit to- America he had
Victoria write a letter to the president.

her tongue did not.

Lucretia Rudolph Garfield, Mrs. Cleve-
land, Mrs. Harrison and Mrs. Mckinley
are too well known to need description.
The first of this list declared herself
the homliest woman that ever entered

cepted her belledom with grace. All
were good looking women and absolute
beauties compared to the ni~gh-cheeked

THE news indeed has caused great pub
bic satisfaction. for Londoners see in it
proof that the rapid transit problem of

commercial lines. Nobody believes that

UNDER AMERICAN CONTROL.
In buying this franchise for an I'M
d~erground electric read. Mr.. Yerkes is
developing what he regards as only the
second best plan for the development of
London by means or rapid transit. The
true solution of he problem, he be-
lieyes, Lies in the introduction of sur
face electric lines throughout the metrop-
oils, according to the general pima which
he made such al enormous success of in
Chicago. But Mr.. Yerkes knows that
attempt to secure public consent to
+, the introduction of such a radical inno-
ovation in London is hopeless at the pres
cent day, and he bows OF the inevitable.
b. The charter which Mr.. Yerkes has pur-
chased requires the completion of the
/, line within the next W. years. If the
construction was in the hands of Amer
dear mechanics this could easily Se ac-
demolished, but as the British workman

,prove necessary to secure a slight extern

AT last London has a rapid transit with
all of the advantages of the famous New
York, Chicago, Brooklyn and Boston ela
waited railways, and what is best of all,
a means cf quick transportation which
is to be under the control of American
1inanciers. Until the present year Lon
doners have shown no desire whatever
to secure the boon OF rapid ~sransporta-
ton which is enjoyed by thousands of
American towns, and have looked upon
all propositions for such an innovation
with as much suspicion as John hin
man regards the doctrines of Christiani-
ty. Four miles an hour by bus or sew
en- or eight by the miserable UNDER
ground railroad lave been the height OF
the London business mans speed and to
this condition are attributed many other
evils besides that of slew transportation
chief of which is the slum life Of the great
city.
But now a change has come. In two
short months this "Tuppenmy Tube" has
broken Gown the prejudices OF genera
lions. The Central London railway, to
give it it's proper designation. has been
a popular and financial success from the
start. 1t has carried an average OF about
100, 600 passengers daily since it was
opened two months ago. 1T is only six
miles long, running east and west from
the Bank of England to Shepherds Bush,
just beyond the confines CT kensington.
It does little or nothing toward the solu-
ton of the o~vercrowding problem, for It
opens no new residential TERRITORY avail
able for artisans and iothsls of small
