A DENIAL
Of all the Charges Brought
Against
PROFESSOR EASTMAN
Who Goes On The Stand in
Murder Trial

East Cambridge, Mass, May t.
Eastman went on the witness stand
in his own defense this morning in
the trial for numbering his brother.in-
law, Richard H. Grogan.
Asked about his relations with Gro
gan he testified that there never had
been the slightest disagreement or
friction between them.
At no time did he threaten to
shoot him or "plug him" and during
the fall of 1899 and until Grogan's
death, they were together as frequent
ly as every other day.
He never had the slightest jealousy
toward Grogan because of the lens
business and had assisted him in
every way possible.
Mrs. Eastman, who was on the
stand when court opened, was excused
without cross examination as she was
about to tell of the second autopsy on
Grogan's body at Mount Auburn.
Knowlton announced that the state
admitted no notice being given by the
family or their attorney for the pur-
pose OF exhuming the body and by ac-,
cident Mrs. Grogan and Mrs. Eastman
arrived on the scene as the operation
was finished.

RApID ELECTRIC TRANSIT.

The project of Mr. A. L. Johnson, to
build trolley line which will carry
passengers and freight between New
York and Philadelphia IN two hours
has led the Record of the later city TO
investigate the developments OF electric
rapid transit. Experiments, it says,
are now being made by the firm Of
Siemens and Halske, of Berlin, with
electric trains having a speed OF 125
miles an hour The main object Of
these experiments is to improve the
construction Of the wheels 50 that they
may withstand the strain of the great
ly increased rotation. These expert
ments have demonstrated that a speed
of at least, 125 miles per hour can be
obtained without difficulty
Of course, this is going faster than
anything we have yet been accustomed
to and it is difficult for the mind to
grasp so high a rate Of speed in a rail-
way train. We are told that in the
construction of electric roads for such
rapid travel surface crossing is out Of
the question; railroads, streets pas
sages and canals must be crossed either
by bridges or by tunnels. The quicla
succession of trains Intervals of six
minutes) makes it imperative that the
tracks must be kept clear at all times
while being operated. Neither the pub
lie nor employees can be permitted to
enter upon them. For this reason the
three-track system must be adopted
and the use of switches must be
avoided
The first rapid electric road is to
connect Berlin and Hamburg. 1t viii
run between point Immediately adj
Joining the city Of Berlin and one adj
joining the city of Hamburg the total
length of the line VIII be about 156
miles The subways and elevated
tracks are already projected for the
whole line, The estimated cost is

theright Of way, 81, 100000 for grading,
100000 for construction and S5,00o,-

ger depots and workshops.

NOW THE WHIST FACE.

We have all sorts of faces, all varie-
ties of countenances. that get their
recognized expressions from close ap-
plication to some variety of straining
employment. Now we have "the whist
face" to add to the list. 1t is showing
itself among the women, and comes
from the whist club habit, which is
rapidly growing, showing it's strength
not only at night, but in the after
Moons, and evening the mornings, as
ISOLATED with tea and waters, chocolate
and bonbons.
One expression Of the whist face.
though it is sad, and is told with an
effort, is age. The women may shud-
der at the thought, but the fact re-
mains. Intense thought and daily
racking the memory to remember what
cards have been played cannot but
deepen the face lines and hasten what
heretofore the women have left for
time to accomplish without their per-
mission.
In the whist face you will see the
PARKWAY look, accompanied by arched
lines on the forehead, suddenly chang
ing to an expression of inward contem-
plation, associated with Tightening OF
the lips. These expressions come from
an acrobatic mind under training that
consists of leaping from the first lead.
jump by jump, over each successive
play, to the ultimate effect of the next
play that must be made, while keeping
the mental eye on the accepted rules,
not neglecting to observe and respond
to signals.
Nature can recover from this sort OF
thing when occasionally INDUCED in
but when it becomes a habit, practiced
almost daily, and some times for two
or three sessions day, the expression
becomes fixed, and follows the wearer
no matter what her thought or occu-
patton may be at the time.

HIGH TARIFF PoLEcY WORSE THAN
ranEI

Our worse than foolish high tariff
policy, which gives the ta.riff-bred
trusts monopoly OF the home market
permitting them to charge two and
three times the prices they charge for
eigners for the same goods in foreign
markets is the subject Of the last ar
ticle of the New York Tariff Reform
League.
Mr. Calvin Tomkins points out that
the intelligent opinion OF disinteressea
men in all parties is rapidly realizing
that the country has fairly outgrown
protection. that the vast excess OF
American manufactures far beyond
the needs of the home market must
find foreign outlets, and that reciprocal
trade relations with other countries Is
necessary to secure them.
OF course the trusts, which rely upon
protection" to keep prices in the
home market artifcially higher than
the prices at which they sell in the
worlds market, will fight against any
relief. And unfortunately the lead
ers and the machinery Of the domin-
ant party are absolutely owned by the
trusts.
But the people still possess the power
to end this thraldom which is unjust
to the American people and in re-
straint of our trade abroad. The tar
if now exists mainly to foster and sus-
tain trusts and monopolies at home.
The only question is, how long viii
the people allow these to prey upon
them? How long shall we occupy the
fatuous attitude Of clamoring for the
open door abroad while shutting our
own doors in the face Of the world?
The discriminating attitude of Russia
is the first formal and effective pro-
test on the part of foreign nation
against the obsolete policy OF this
country, and it bids fair to be only
the beginning of tariff war on the
United States. Such a war is openly
invited by our trusts, which at the e.
pense of the home consumer are dispos-
ing of their vast surplus products
abroad at prices which their foreign
competitors cannot touon even in their
own markets. Aside from the rank in
justice to the American consumer, it
is jug handled arrangement that can
not last.
