Present.

IEebcnts
In the Schley court Of inquiry Fri
day. September 81, a letter was pre-
sented from Rear Admiral Sampson,
asking to be allowed to be represented
in the court by counsel, but the court
refused to giant the request on the
ground that ''the court does not at
this time regard you a. a party to the
case"
The principal witnesses of the day
were Lieut.. John Il. Hood, who com
manded the dispatch boat, the Hawk,
during the Spanish war, and Captain
Bowman II. McCalla, who was in COM
mando of the Marblehead.
The testimony of both of these Off
GERS dealt with the delivery of dis.
patches from Admiral Sampson TO
Commodore Schley, and both related
conversations with the latter. Captain
McCalla gave in detail his part in ar
ranging a code of signals with Cuban
insurgents and his communications
with them near Cienfuegos on May "a,
1899, when it was learned definitely
that Cervera's feet was not in the har-
Dor there. He said that Captain Chad
wick, who was Admiral Simpsons
chief of staff, was the only person at

District AitnrneY sums up.

At $40 District Attorney Penney be-
gan summing up. He spoke in n clear.
well-modulated voice and every word
could be heard In any part Of the
room.
He said In part:
1T Is hardly possible for any man
to stand up and talk about this case
without the deepest emotion. II was
the most awful tragedy that ever came
upon the world. We have shown you
how this defendant stood In the temple
of music that afternoon and shot down
our beloved President. We have shown
you how he deliborated on and planned
this awful crime. We have shown you
how he attended anarchistic and So
cialistic meetings, at which were sown
In his heart the seeds OF his terrible
act.
This Is no time for oratorical dis
play. Counsel for the prisoner and
myself have ~endeavored to eliminate
all sensationalism from this case. II
Is not my intention to indulge In ex-
tended remarks. You understand the
responsibility resting upon you.

The Girl Of d

Little does the girl Of the present
day realize how much better of she Is
than the girl in the early part OF the
nineteenth century. Then she had to
submit to social restrictions o nu-
merous to mention; she was treated
with scorn and contempt II she nee
expressed any desire to work or do
anything for herself and attempts to
think out a subject for herself was
deemed almost a sign OF ill-breeding
and lack of refinement. Her life was
spent In a narrow groove. and her
mind was not allowed to develop to
its full extent. Intercourse with the
other sex was carried On under the
rigid surveillance OF an austere and
| elderly chaperon- Nowadays a woman
has almost perfect freedom in what

getting rarer and rarer. and social tn

THe sULTAN's PALACE.
II IL Proof Against AssassIns, Isombs
and Fires.

md Fires.
According to IA writer In the Worlds
Work, the sultan's Yildiz palace at
Constantinople Is a monument to fear.
II ia assassin-proof. bomb-proof, earth
qu~ake-proof, fre-proof. microbe-proof.
Architects and engineers are building
and rebuilding incessantly. Some new
secret retreat Is always under way.
| The entire domain Is surrounded by
an immense wall. thirty feet high, and
the choicest troops OF the empire stand
guard around 1t. An inner wall.
twelve feet thick, with gates of iron,
incloses the private residence itself.
The walls of the sultan's dwellings are
filled with armor plate, to resist pro-
jectiles. II Is said that a mysterious
passage connects with ten secret bed
chambers, forming an intricate laby-
| rinth. No one but his body attendant
knows where the sultan may sleep dur
Ing any particular night. He has cleo
trio lights and telephones In his own
apartments, but forbids them In Con-
stantinople. Telephones might prove
handy for c~onspirators and he be-
lieves that a dynamite cartridge could
be sent over a wire into the palace.
He fears electric explosions. 30 Con-
stantinople gets along with gas light.
He hates the word dynamo. because It
sounds like dynamite. Balloons art
tabooed, lest one should pause over
him long enough to drop a chunk OF
explosive.
As to the real luxury Of the Yildiz
that Is a matter Of course. The do
main Is a small world In itself. Five
thousand people live within the outer
wall, not counting a small army Of
workmen and the 1000 imperial
guardsmen. There arc shops, factor

scum, picture gallery, theater and even

The citizens of Las Vegas spent a
day roaming over the hills near their
home town and report on their return
that they found what they believe is
the remains of an old Spanish smelter
on the Tecolote river. They found
pieces of old fire clay and a few pieces
of copper. There are a number of evil

south of Las Vegas, which go to chow
