SECOND DAY OF
CzOLGOSz TRIAL
The Same Crowd of Curious and
Excited People.
TRIAL WILL NOT LAST LONG

Buffalo, Sept. "a The Czolgosz
trial continued this morning with
the same amount of curiosity aud
excitement which prevailed yester-
day, and the crowd outside was
equally large Detectives watched
closely each one who was permit
ted to enter the court room,
1t is quite evident at this time
that the trial will be ended this
afternoon.
Czolgosz continues in an atti-
tude of stolid indifference, His
only interest this morning seemed
to be in the women spectators
whom he scrutinized closely.
Engineer Fields, the first wit
ness, testified to drawing the plans
of the music hall building which
were in use in court Drs Mann
and Mynter were next closely
cross examined, but all the pro-
ceedings lacked sensations or mat
tiers of special interest The most
important witnesses were Recep-
ton Committeemen Rice and
Quackenbush They told of stand
ing in the crowd in the music ball
when a man with white hand
kerchief wrapped around his hand
approached the president, as if to
shake hands. Suddenly the hand
kerchief dropped and almost
simultaneously two shots were
fired. Secret service men grabbed
the man who held smoking gun
in his hand and ARE sted him
That man was the prisoner at the
bar
Mr.. Quackeubush said that later
on in company with the district
attorney he visited the prisoner in
Jail. Czolgosz said then he knew
he had killed the president and he
had intended to do so He was
perfectly aware of what he was
doing
Court then adjourned to >

Robert Gum, a well known young
man, was found in room Oh the

For a number OF years Gum
was employed in the office of
Frank Trumbull, of the Colorado

suddenly discharged His friends
wondered why he had been
dropped, but it later developed
that he had specuated heavily in
stocks and had become hopelessly
involved in debt,
Last Wednesday he bsde his
wife goodbye, saying he was going
to Kansas City to visit a sister.
Where he has been since that
time is mystery

 I moved the camera to within two or three feet of the nest and again lett it ready. This time the bird went back in five minutes, and another squeeze gave me my best night-haWk picture. The image is large and clear, shoWlng the bird sitting on her eggs with heao raised, staring at the awful lens, so mysterious to her.
 I have usually found that as the tripod alarms the subject, one must de- wise various ways to mount ana to conceal the camera. Sometimes "Iu creatures can be decoyed within range of a hidden camera by accustomlhg them to come to the spot for food. But the surest way is, at the breeding sea- son. to find the nest or hole, adjust the camera, and await the owners return.

First Of all, thlnk they have more general culture, anu are better educated. have been astounded in going about the country, to observe the numbers of large and hourishing colleges for women whch everywhere exist. One can hardly De- leve that there are so many women seeking "higher education, as you call it here. And the yyOng women' l nave met showed the results of this educa- tion. They were able to discuss ln- numerable subjects inteligently. l could hardly mention any branch of art of which they were ignorant, ana usually they could talk well on the drama, poetry, and art generally An other thing which impressed me was the fact that so many American young women can speak French.-Sarah Bernhardt in Success.

been selected with the greatest care' all with a view to harmonizing With a distinctive artistic design. They have been taken up, root and branch, and hauled in huge trucks from their na- tive spots to adorn MT. Carnegie s Fifth avenue park. In moving these trees care was taken not to lnJure the smallest of their twigs. There was no pairing, no cutting anywhere MT. Car negie is getting old, and he wanted these stately growths now in all thelr native glory. They were to grow III Fifth avenue just as they had dohe lh the woods and forests for 20, 50 and 4o years.
 Modern science and inventive genius have made it possible to transplant trees now without the loss of any or their vitality, any of their beauty. This is done by means of complicated trucking system Attach@A '" the axle joining two heavy iron wheels IS long wooden pole, at right angles to the axle, and forming sort of cross with it.
 This axle is covered in the middle by sort of felt saddle. This apparatus is moved up against the tree, the sad dla against it's side. Two large hooks, like fish-hooks, are then placed under the two main roots of the tree. These hooks are suspended by cable stretching over the top of the pole at tached to the axle. This cable is now pulled over the top of the pole by a machine, and the hooks pull the tree up without injuring it, bringing the small fbrous roots and the earth that surrounds tAem.
 The pole is then slowly turned so as to lie flat, and the tree lies against the soft felt saddle. The tree can then either drag along the ground or it may be suspended by elevating the pole. This apparatus is now attached to a sort of wagon, the bottom of which protects the roots of the tree, and the whole is drawn by from four to eight { horses
 | Some trees that have been moved to | MT. Carnegie's place are as much as 1I | inches in diameter. One of them was estimated to weigh about 10 tons l Twenty nine were transplanted in all and to-day every one of them is giving | 1'' sessed of it's original luXuriousness, When the landscape gardener took 1 charge of the Carnegie lot, it was found that there was only one tree or | the place. It was a huge silver lea1 poplar. MT Carnegie's explicit orders were, "Woodman, spare that tree" Ht determined that this splendid specimen of plant life should be saved at any cost Ii was a curious specimen, heav' fly incrusted with unshapely bark, no altogether symmetrical in it's foliage scheme, not in fact the kind of a tret that would have been selected to be come a part of the general decoration plan of the place.
 But arrangements were made tt save it. While the house was going Ill it had to be covered with heav! heathing of iron to protect it from th' construction work proceeding al around it. Then there were fears tha
 it was dying, in view of the fact tha
 it was growing on mound above thu
 other ground. A moat had to to b. constructed around it then. This pro
 tected the moisture, and the trees lift
 and virlity seemed to be restored l New York Times.
