turns. Wheat, oats and barley present
a fine stand and are just heading out.
Flax sown before the rains of the past
three weeks is poor, being uneven and

shatter Telescope Mirror.

Fittsburg, June IA great 36-inch
mirror belonging to a Newtonian re-
hecting telescope at Lick observatory
was shattered into many fragments
yesterday in the workshop of Professor
John A. Brashear of this city while it
was being drilled to convert it into
casegrain glass. AS result it is
probable that the long projected expe-
dition of the Lick observatory into the
southern hemisphere will have to be
postponed. Professor, Brashear will
make new glass for the Lick scten-
lists, but the glass for this cannot be
obtained from France in less than six
months. The great mirror was five
inches thick and weighed about 400
pounds. 1t was valued at $4,000, but
the greater loss is in the delay il will
cause in the starting of the South
American expedition.

Gives Outline of Case.
Kansas City, June Lulu Prince
Kennedy listened yesterday to half a
dozen witnesses recite the details of
her killing of her husband, Philip Fl.
Kennedy, hardly moving muscle or
showing a particle OF emotion. Later,
without apparent cause, she bowed her
head and cried, but only for few mo-
mentS.
In stating it's side of the case, At
torney Nearing for the defense said
that they would show that Kennedy
had ruined Lulu Prince, that he refused
to live with her and then insane from
worry and remorse, she committed the
act of murder.
Prosecutor Hadley, arguing in re-
buttal. declared the state would show
that Kennedy was not responsible for
the woman's ruin, that Mrs. Kennedy
had sustained improper relations with
other men long before she had met
Kennedy and almost UP to the time OF
her marriage.

Rear Admiral Visits the Maritime
Exchange In New York.

Schley yesterday went to the Maritime
exchange to visit Lieutenant Com
mander James A. Sears, who was his
flag lieutenant at the battle of San
tiago, and who was recently sent to
the photographic bureau of the ex-
change.
The rear admiral was asked to meet
the members. He consented and as
soon as he appeared the brokers sur
rounded him, cheered themselves
hoarse and asked for speech. This
Admiral Schley declined to do, but
said he would be pleased to shake
hands with everybody if he were al
lowed to CO. This caused more cheer
ing, and when it subsided some one
shouted whats the matter with
Sampson?"
The admiral replied, Nothing; he
is a gallant officer and good man.
This was greeted with more cheers
and the uproar became so great that
some one jokingly telephoned to the
I police station that a riot was in prog
ress in the Maritime exchange. The
4 police escorted the admiral, who was
/ laughing by this time to safety but
only after he had shaken hands all
around.

Executive Officers to Decide.

Des Moines, June 1.-THE general
synod of the Evangelical Lutheran
church, which has been in session in
this city the past ten days, completed
it's work last evening and adjourned
sine die. The time and place of the
next meeting was left for the executive
officers to decide. The Muhlenberg
mission in South Africa was left with
the board of missions for final dispo-
sition, and probably will be aban-
doned. The question of establishing
church paper was decided in the
negative. A large number of stand
ing committees for the next biennial
period were appointed. Resolutions
were adopted commencing the work
of the American Tract society, calling
on the people to recognize the sancti-
ty OF the Lords day, endorsing the
federation of churches, rejoicing in
the work of the women of the church,
and finally. rejoicing that the church
is mistaken in scriptural and historic
faith and reatlirming allegiance to the
present basis of the general synod
and against making any distinction be-
tween fundamental and so-called non
fundamental doctrines in the Augsberg
confession.
Among the reports made yesterday
was that of the temperance committee
in favor of the anti-canteen law, inti-
mating that the press is being subsi-
died by whisky advertisements. The
deaconess board reported that insti-
tuition in fine condition. The report
on work OF the women's missions made
an excellent showing. The committee
on Sunday school reported increased
attendance and funds.

be elected a director of the Northern

vice president of the Pennsylvania
company will enter the directorate of
the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe

These changes come slpplementing

the election of w. H. Moore, an asso-

is the Introduction of both the New
