Suffolk County Superior Court here

of the different counsel it is likely to

Mrs. Woodbury. on the ground that

sage to the First Chsistian Science
Church here, which was four times
read and afterwards published in
local paper, had in mind Mrs. Wood
bury when she used the words "thc
doom of Babylonish woman referred
to in the book Of Revelationpfs be-
ing fulfilled. Previous to this Mrs.
Woodbury. had been communicated
by the church.
In her answer Mrs. Eddy admits
that the particular address was de-
livered on the day and at the times
named in the declaration Of the
plaintiff but declares that Deither
Mrs. Woodbury. nor any other human
being was meant by the term baby.
lonish woman the phrase being
used simply to describe a type of

Mrs. Woodbury. was present in
court today but Mrs Eddy would
not appear, her deposition having

case as evidence.

SURPRISES
THE JURY.

New York, May 2o.-Dr. Per-
sifor Frazer, of Philadelphia, one
of the handwriting experts for the
prosecution in the Kennedy muir
der trial, made a remarkable ad-
mission to-day regarding the limi-
tations OF his science. At the close
OF his direct examination after he
had spent some time in setting
forth original theories, he said to
the jury
Its use by me is strictly en-
pirical; it is an experimental OBJ
servation of mine. l simply wish
to asl. the permission Of the
court to say to the jury not to
give too much weight to what has
proceeded from me"
Judge Ncwburger ordered a re-
cess at the conclusion OF DR..
Frazer's address, and the witness
had an earnest conversation with
Assistant District Attorney Cs'
borne, who later denied that he
had rebuked Frazer.
DR.. Kernedy's friends took a
different view, and said they had
nothing further to fear from expert
testimony. DR.. Frazer's remarks
to the Jury were stricken from the
record before the recess.

ACCOMMODATIONS FOR
VISITORS IN BUFFALO.


Hundreds Of Hotels, BOARDING and
Roomins Houses, Besides Many Pri-
waite Homes, ON the List.
So much has been said and written
about the ability Of the city of Buffalo
to care for the crowds which will at
tend the Pan-American Exposition this
summer that few facts and figures
will be appreciated by the general pub
lie.
In the first place, there are listed
more than 200 hotels, which will give
accommodation to 10000 people; there
are $50 boarding and rooming houses,
afrording accommodation for 1880,
while 1000 owners of houses, most Of
whom never before hung out their
latcllstring for consideration, have
signitied their intention Of opening
their houses for the accommodation OF
visitors to Buffalo this summer. These
1000 homes will accommodate mt least
100000 visitors.
The Exposition Company has arrang-
ed to furnish tent accommodation on
the Exposition grounds for 25O uni
formed men. There are also two COM
panies arranging tent systems which
will afford additional accommodation
outside of the grounds for 1900 or so.
In addition to all this, there are a
large number of buildings throughout
the city now being remodeled and con
verified into hotels, the plans of which
are not far enough along to afford an
accurate description or to estimate ac-
commodation at the present time. 1t is
safe to estimate the present capacity
of the city of Buffalo TO accommodate
10000 strangers. To this may be add
ed accommodations for at least 10000
in the surrounding towns such as Ton
AMANDA. La Sale. Niagara Falls, Lock
port, Wllliamsville, Gardenville, De
pew and Lancaster, all within short
trolley ride Of the city.
Rates in hotels range from 81 per
day upward. AS ridiculous stories have
been circulated In regard to exorbitan'
hotel rates, it is well to note the rates
that have been established at the lrO'
Quois, the most expensive hotel in the
city. These are, for one In room
without bath, So and upward; for tive
in a room without bath, So and upward
thus making the minimum rate SD
per individual. The rate for room
with bath for one person is 50 or for
two in a room $3.50. This is on the Eu
ropean plan. OF course there are rooms
and suites of rooms in this hotel fol
much higher rates for those who wisl
TO pay them, but the prices here givel
are the highest in the city for hote

In tho days of '6l.

While the black and blue arrayed

Struggling on midst, shot and shell,
Standing firm upon the field,
With Old Glory.

Forward to duty, Stand On the line.
Boys Wen rally round the flag
And our standard bearor too,
For Postles the man who'll lead to
Victory.
Grant he thrashed the wilderness,
While Sherman marched on to the

Bravely in Il conflict,
And Little Phil, at Cedar Creek
Routed Early from his nest,
And sent him flying down the vale,
la the cause OF freedom.
Shaw and the gallant 5lth
Chirged Old Wagners llanery'j sides
Rushing on to duty.
And noble CARNEY lei the van,
With Old Glory in his hands,
In the cause OF freedom.
At Aluskia, Port Hudson, too n
Deep bottom and Harrison,
Black men by thousands fell for
freedom,
And Butler with his black brigade
Pierced the rebel lines clean through
And marched triumphant into Dixey
Shouting freedom.
Ask our party where she stood
In those Anti Bellun, days,
Days of shameful slavery.
Rings the answer down the line
Gave 1t no uncertain sound.
And toll it now In every CLINE
She stood for freedom.
Oh. Wendell Phillips, how he wrote
Aud Logged Garrison, no spoke
About tho curse OF slavery

And my voice 1t shall be heard
Throughout this land for freedom.
Then from out the Southern skies.
Flashed the light of Liberty,
All glorous in the dawning
Lincoln spoke the work was done
And glad acclamations rang,
On that great day for freedom,
To our party we've been true
Never traitors to the flag.
That through school we followed.
Now our Candidate is hero
As good man, us can DO found,
And we ask your vote for him
On that morning.
As you stood in 81,
Drinking from the same canteen,
On the line while bravely fighting
On June LIST sand on the firing

With your ballots IN hand,
And we'll swesp the gallant 9th
For Thomas fost!es.
