our fathers before us. 1t gives courage
the tyranny of public opinion, who re-
fuses to humbly submit to the unjust
rule Of the multitude and dares lift his
voice against the immoral acts of the
senseless crowd. This message Of the
prophet is needed today when too many
men are more concerned for money
than morals; more desirous for popu-
larity than for manhood.

MAN SEALED Up IN A CAsK.
Came Across I'm Frefghter's HoId-He
VIII Probably Die.

A dispatch from New York last night
says: When longshoreman today dropped
into the hold of the steamer Palatia of the
HamburgAmerica line. Just arrived at the
Hoboken docks. he was startled to hear a
means, Summoning assistance, he made
search and found a man lying across
some salt sacks. The man was dragged
to the deck and became unconscious, and
tonight is at a Hoboken hospital, with little
chance of recovery. or, indeed, of ever
telling his strange tale.
Investigation shows that the stranger
had been boxed up in Germany-in a pack
ing case marked -. B. IL" In the case
was a small bottle. which had contained
piece of paper was found marked John
Beck" The box was marked in German,
This side up; with care" There were no
airholes in the case and the hatch to the
hold had not been opened from the time the
Palatia left port until today. 1t is the
opinion of the investigators that during
the last of the trip the stowaway became
so frenzied that he broke out of the box
and there was no way for him to give the
alarm.
The man was well dressed, evidently a
German about thirty years old He had
less than dollar in German money in his
pockets. Up to the present the consignee
or consignor of the case has not been dis
covered. Yesterday and early today an
American Express wagon called for box
marked as this one was, and Ii is believed
that through this circumstance something
more may be learned of the strange affair.
The Palatia is a freighter. very slow, and
was longer than usual In making this trip.
1t Is believed the man was in the hold at
least fifteen days

France has 50 huge a national debt and
the totals of her annual budgets are so
great that her financiers are compelled to
lie awake nights in the anxious search for
new objects of taxation in order to make

were made out in proportion to the num-
Der OF pillars of smoke which were seen
ascending above the rooftrees. And win
dows were taxed also. Openings for light
and air were scheduled for tribute. Every
building was scrutinized iealously from
turret to corner stone in the search for OBJ

could impose a burden of taxation. Even
gardens were put under a special exaction

Witnesses Swear That Ayres Was
the Owner of a Weapon.
IN THE BONNIE Case
Discussion as to Removal of Blood
Spots From Velvet.
OTHER FEATURES OF TODAY

Three witnesses for the defense in the
Bonine murder trial today testified with
pcsitiveness that James Seymour Ayres.
for whose death Mrs. Bonine is charged
with having been responsible, owned a re-
volver. Each of the witnesses testified that
he had seen a revolver in Ayres' room. One
witness, a friend of the deceased and a
resident of the latter's home in Michigan,
swcre positively that Ayres had told him
while the latter was on sojourn in Wash
ington in January before the tragedy, at
tending a son who was ill In a hospital,
that he should not think Of being without
the protection of a revolver while in a big
city.
This witness also testified that Ayres did
loan him a revolver. He also swore that
the revolver was similar in every point to
the one found in Ayres' room following the
tragedy. The other two witnesses swore posi-
lively that they had seen in Ayres' room a
revolver similar to the one found in the
room after the tragedy and submitted in
evidence at the trial. All these witnesses
had lived at the Kenmore Hotel. They
were all on friendly terms with the de-
ceased.
Mrs. BONNIE watched the testimony Of
these witnesses with utmost care and at
tention. The contention of the government
Is that she went to Ayres' room with the
premeditated intention of killing him. The
testimony Of these witnesses for the de-
Tense gave the defendant renewed courage
and hope for her ultimate acquittal.
About Blood Stains
An important witness for the defense was
A E. Berklin, an experienced cleaner and
dyer, who was called to disprove the con-
tention of DR.. Schaeffer, the expert for the
government. Berklin was positive In his
answers that blood stains on velvet could
be removed completely by the use of water
or ordinarily simple methods. The wit

braved the elements and were attentive
listeners to the testimony.
1t was 10:40 before the trial was re-
sumed, the half hour preceding having been
occupied by the court in impaneling jury
for service during December. The dingy
old court room was gloomier than ever and
the darkness Of the morning made 1t neces-
sary to have the lights turned on. Just
before Mrs. BONNIE was brought up from
the cage below Justice Anderson admins
tered sentence of four years in the
Moundsville CIV. Va.) penitentiary on an in
corrigible colored youth who had pleaded
guilty to HOUSEKEEPING. The young culprit
and Mrs. BONNIE met on the stair case.
Mrs BONNIE found her brother. two sis
tiers and husband in their usual places
awaiting her when she came into court.
Mr.. De Witt, the Chicago wholesale drug
gfst for whom Mr.. Bonine has travelled for
many years. was again among the little
group that partially surrounded the defend
ant. Mrs BONNIE had q smile of recogni-
ton for each. She .conversed earnestly for
few minutes with her husband, and then
shook hands with her counsel. AS on pre-
Vious days, she watched carefully the pro-
ceedings and often prompted or made sug-
geStions to her counsel when the latter
were questioning witnesses. Juror George
Bury, who was Ill on yesterday, was
