who at that time lived In Pittsfield, on
Beaver street, testified that her hus-
band was very sick on the night of Au-
gust 20 and she claimed that he was
disturbed by the loud brea thing of two
men who had stopped running when
opposite her house, she opened the blind
and told one of the men, who was
standing by tree to go away. The in
cident excited the sick man so greatly
that as a result he died two days later.
Mrs, Fosburgh was the last witness
of the day. and Immediately after her
testimony was concluded the defense
rested This was at $3.50. Then the
government introduced some little evil
dence in rebuttal and the defense put
on one witness in rebuttal. That closed
the case, with the understanding that
the government would have an oppor-
tunity of placing Colonel Whitney, the
state detective, on the stand in the
morning, to which time the court adj
journed.
At the close of the session to-day
Judge Stevens, together with the coun-
sci for both sides. retired to the ante
room, where Mr.. Joyner, for the de-
Tense made a long argument, on the
question of his suggestion that the
judge order a verdict of not guilty.
The result is not known officially, but
it is understood that arguments will be
made in the case at the opening of the
session tomorrow. Lawyer Joyner
stated that if the case were argued to-
morrow, District Attorney Hammond,
for the state, would probably not
take over an hour and half. 1t is
possible that the case may go to the
jury by tomorrow noon.

A BEAR THAT DRANK BEER.

while in Hot Springs, Ark, several
years ago." remarked a travelling man,
II was very much amused by the an
tics of big black bear that was sta
toned up III Happy Hollow. The bear
was chained to a tree. and was passing
through all kinds of motions to amuse
the idlers who had gathered about the
place, waltZing one minute and doing
an awkward polka the next, and it all
seemed to greatly delight the specta-
tors. The owner finally asked the bear
if he would not like to have a glass of
beer Apparently the bear understood
the Offer and was almost fulsomely po-
lite in evidencing an acceptance. The
bear was brought good, cold pint bot
tie. Then there was more Waltzing,
more dancing of all kinds, and the beer
seemed to quicken and accelerate the
bears movements.

THE oRAToRY OF RUFUS cHoATE

THE ORATORY OF RUFUS CHOATE
/ heard Rufus Choate a great many
times. l heard nearly all the speeches
given In Browns Life" and / heard
him a great many times at the bar,
both before juries and the full court. He
Is the only advocate / ever heard who
had the imperial power which would
subdue an unwilling and hostile jury.
His power over them seemed like the
fascination of bird by a snake.
Choates method was pure persuasion.
He never appealed to base motives, nor
tried to awake coarse prejudices or
stormy passions He INDUCED in no
invective. His wit and sarcasm and
ridicule amused the victim almost as
much as it amused the bystanders. He
had the suaviloduentia which Cicero
attributes to Cornelius. There was
never a harsh note in his speech.
He had voice without any gruff or
any shrill tones. 1t was like a sweet
yet powerful flute, He never strained
it or seemed to exert it to it's fullest ca
pacity. l do not know any other pub
lie speaker whose style resembled his
in the least. Perhaps Jeremy Taylor
was his model, if he had any model.
The pharseology with which he clothed
some commonplace or mean thought or
fact when he was compelled to use
commonplace arguments, or to tell
some common story, kept his auditors
ever alert and expectant. An Irish
man who had killed his wife threw
away the axe with which Choate
claimed the deed was DONE when he
heard somebody coming. This, in
Choate's language, was "the sudden
and frantic ejaculation of the axe"
Indeed his speech was perpetual sur
prise. Whether you liked him or dis
liked him, you gave him your ears,
erect and intent. He used manuscript
a great DEAL even in speaking to juries.
When a trial was on, lasting days or
weeks, he kept pen, ink and paper at
hand in his bedroom, and would often
get UP in the middle of the night to
write down thoughts that came to him
as he lay in bed. He was always care
full to keep warm. 1t was said he pre-
pared for great jury argument by
taking off eight great coats and drink
ing eight cups of green tea,-Senator
George F. Hoar in Scribner's Maya
zine.

SOME LATE IDEAS IN
WEDDING INVITATIONS.

There is a change in wedding invi-
tations and wedding etiquette in gen
eral this fall and the marriages which
will occur in Rock Island the coming
season will undoubtedly be carried
through in correct and up-to date
form. The style of the wedding invi-
tation changes almost as often as
that of dress, and it may of interest
TO know just what is proper in this
line.
If the principals in the marriage
ceremony have an acquaintance too ex-
tensive for a home wedding the Gus
the church, a smaller number to the
house An invitation to q home we'd
ding should always be responded to.
In other cases wedding invitations
need no answer, but your card should
be sent on the wedding day to the
lady who sends you your invitation.
There should be no delay in thanking
the f. lends who have sent the bride
a wedding present. IL is not consid-
erred proper to have your at home
card the invitation. Instead they
should be printed on pure gray
white paper by themselves. There is
JUST one color on which to print the
wedding invitation and that is gray
W ute. The size of the invitation is
almost a square, being SKA inches
and the envelope to match is long and
narrow. The card for admission to
the church is about the size of a lady S
visiting card aud is used when the
wedding is to be q church affair. The
style of engraving is to be in Roman,
shaded Roman, Gothic or cd Eng
lisa.
There is a slight change in the
wording of wedding invitations. The
spelling of the word "honOr" is
changed to honour" and the figures
"190I" are printed in Roman letters

FEAST OF YOM KIPPUR:
A DAY OF ATONEMENT

At twilight last evening the Jewish
day of atonement, the Sabbath of
Sabbaths," was ushered in at the
various synagogues with the musical
service, "Kol Nedrei." For more
than 80 centuries this one fast, pre-
scribed by the law of Moses, has been
rigidly observed by the Jews of every
land.
However liberal in his views of re =
ligion the Jew of today may be. how
ever Indifferent to any OF the other
rites enjoined by his creed. he looks
with reverence IN the chief day in the
Jewish calendar and complies in SON e
measure with the Mosaic commands:
sin the seventh month, on the 10th
dsy of the month, We shall afilict
your souls and do no work at all. For
on that day shall the priest ms Ike an
atonement for you to cleanse you that
We may be clean from all your sins
before the Lord. 1t shall be Sabbei h
of rest unto you and We shall affl ,cG
your souls by q statute foreve-,"
Today the Jews of the world spent
much time in their synagogues, the
more jealous remaining the entire
day in prayer and fasting.
To the orthodox jew the sorrow
over his fallen temple, the dispersion
of his race, and the destruction of the
holy city is at no time so keenly felt
as on the day of atonement
Nothing more clearly illustrates
the invincible purpose of, the race.
said leading rabbi, than the univer-
sal observance of an ordinance which
exile has bereft of all traditional
appointments. The pride of kings
In long line of regal ancestors, the
pride of nations in the strength and
perpetuity of their laws. the pride of
the papacy that the apostolic sue
cession has remained unbroken since
the dawn of christianity, is each
worthy of respect; but every student
of history must grant that the people
of Israel entertain justifiable pride
in the antiquity of their institutions,
which were old a thousand years be-
fore Christ was BORN"

CAMPAIGN OF EDUCATION.

Facts on Rate oaestion for Distribution
Among woodmen.
BY the terms of resolution adopted
by the last Wooimen head camp at
st. Paul. the board of directors was
instructed TO formulate certain data
in regard to the rate question for DIS
tribution among the mem bership
not later than Jan. 1, next, so that
the question could be referred bar
to the Indianapolis head camp in
1908 for final settlement.
Acting under plan of the board,
the press department is now at work
upon a pamphlet to contain all the
data of the order relating to the sub
iect in hand taken for the most part
from the last biennial report of Head
Clerk HAYES. 1t is probable this
pamphlet. which will cover about 40
pages, will be accepted at tie October
meeting of the board and an order
given for the Immediate printing of
over 700, 900 copies.

E. 3. DUNN's WEATHER
THEORIES CALLED FALSE

Weather Observer j. M. Sherier is
in receipt of letter from the head OF
the weather department at Washing
ton requesting him to call the atten-
ton of'the local press to an article
recently published as to the cause OF
the recent hot spell. The article sets
forth the theory that irrigation in the
west is the cause OF the phenomena
known as heat waves and that on
this account the benefits of irriga-
ton were more than outweighed by
The evils arising therefrom. The al
ticle was written by Z b. Dunn, for
merly the Uoited States weather OBJ
server in charge of the New York
Office. He resigned his position sew
eral years ago and is not row con-
nected with the governments. The
entire scientific staff of the weather
bureau made a study of the matter
along the lines suggested by Mr..
Dunn and the theory Is not only con-
demned as being very absurd, but in
that it will do great injury TO the
cause of irrigation.
Mr.. Dunn's article is very interest
ing He refers to the recent heated
spell which covered the west and in
flicted so much damage on human
beings and live stock as being more
or less attri butable to the results of
irl igstion throughout the Rocky
mountain region. He argues that on
account of the fact that an area of
very low pressure covered section
of the west and remained stationary
in the region and also that heat and
moisture are necessary for the prop
agation of storm centers. This in
crease of moisture is brought about
by irrigation. But the amount of
moisture there is not sufficient to
develop a storm center Ct great in
tensity, or it would finally have
moved of to the northwest III d fol-
lowed the general storm track. Tne
warmest region is always just to the
east of the. storm center, and the
long stationary position of the
area of low pressure, which is the
same as a storm center to the weather
man, kept the hot winds blowing
over the Mississippi valley.
Thus, according to Mr.. Dunn, the
storm center or area of low pressure
was due to the increase of amount
OF moisture or general distribution
over the Rocky mountain region
There was enough moisture to de-
velop the storm center, but not
enough to cause it to travel on.
Such an article, no matter how well
the subject is argued, cannot but do
considerable damage to the cause of
irrigation and that is why the au-
thorities at Washington desire public
attention called to the tact that the
entire scientific corps of the weather
bureau stamped the theories advanced
by Dunn as false.

cHRYSANTHEMUM HAS
BEEN GIVEN BACK SEAT.

While Dame Nature is putting forth
her brightest and gaudiest blossoms
Of the year in q parting effort at deco
ration the florists of the city are pre-
pairing to take up the work of fur
nishing roses and carnations to all
CON ers when the golden rod and wild
asters are faded-which will be about
the first of October. Never was the
outlook brighter for a prosperous
season in this business, and already
the styles for winter are being cou-
sidered, new varieties of flowers
watched and coaxed, and high hopes
based on their appearance.
The great chrysanthemums have
had their day, and this year, it is
said, will find them only among the
"also rams" in the floral race. There
will be many of them in the flower
stores, and many fine displays of the
once popular flower will be made.
AS q holder of favor, however, the
Japanese blossom began to wane
year or more ago, and this year it
will not be able to command its for
mer prices. In fact. it will be. like
the asters, well within the reach of
the moderate purse. The carnations
and the roses, which it temporarily
supplanted. have steadily fought
ahead again, producing so many
handsome varieties and such abund-
ance of fragrant finely colored, and
delicate blooms that they have won
the battle. This year they will be in
greatest demand.
