the indictment only charged murder in

that he was properly indicted for first de-

The alleged crime was committed at
Wells River, where both the parties lived,
on the night Of September S, 1900. Nelson
and Bostock had been carousing with
liquor and Bostock went to Nelson's
rooms. In some manner Bostock was
shot IN the head with a shot gun while in
bed and was found dead, with the gun
lying across him. He had a large sum OF
money with him, which was not taken.
Nelson's defense is that the shooting was
done BY Bostock while Nelson was out of
the room.

Prof. Truman Henry Stafford, one OF the
most eminent Of American mathemHti-
/ clans and astronomers, died at his home in
WiIliamstown, Mass, on the 18th inst.
He was born al Royalton, VT, Jan. 6, 1886.
His mathematical genius attracted wide
attention i'm his boyhood At the age OF
six years he could mentally extract the
square and cube roots OF numbers OF nine
and ten places OF figures, and could multi
ply four figures by four figures mentally
as rapidly as il could be done upon paper.
In 1915 he prepared am almanac, and at the
age of IL calculated the elliptic elements
OF the first comet Of 1919. At this time he
became widely known as the Vermont boy
calculator. BY a method Of his own he
abridged by one-fourth the labor Of cal
culating the rising and setting OF the
moon. After long and difficult problems
had been read to him once he could give
their results without effort. Prof. BEN
jamin Peirce said Of him IN 1876 that his
knowledge sis accompanied with powers
OF abstraction and concentration rarely
possessed at any age except by minds Of
the highest order"
He studied al Harvard, where he was
graduated Ia 1s53 In 1865 he was APP
pointed director OF the Astronomical OBJ
servatory at Chicago, which had an
eighteen-inch equatorial, the largest re-
fracting telescope then in existence, made
by the Clarks OF Cambridge instru-
ment with which the companion star OF
Sirius was discovered. The observatory
was a part OF the equipment of the new
University OF Chicago, in which Prof.
Stafford held the chair OF astronomy. His
first two years there were devoted to the
study Of nebulae, and he discovered many
new ones. From 1863 till 1871 he was en-
gagged upon the great catalogue OF stars
then in course OF preparation by the CO.
operation OF European and American
astronomers. This work was interrupted
by the Chicago fire OF 1871, and after that
year he was much employed in latitude
and longitude work in the territories by
the United States Corps of Engineers. He
also prepared a star catalogue, which was
published by the war department.
In 1876 he accepted a call to the chair of
astronomy i'm Williams college, which he
held until his death. He was a fellow of
the American Academy of Arts and Sci
ences, an Associate OF the Royal Astro-
nomical society OF England, a member of
Astronomische Gesellschaft of Lepsic,
Germany, and Of various other learned
societies. His published works included
a number Of astronomical catalogues and a
volume on mathematical teaching.

WORK OF BAPTlSTS.
Great Convention of Young People i
Chicago Comes to End.

Great Convention of Young People IN
Chicago Comes to End.
In a great chorus of praise, with re-
ioicing over a spiritual awakening, and
looking forward in pleasant anticipation
to the meeting next year, the greatest
convention the Baptist Young People
union ever held came to an end IN Chl-
cago Sunday night. The attendance was
the largest recorded, there being Io,OUO
persons present. Additional interest
was added to the sessions during the
week, as this was the tenth anniversary
of the organization, which was formed II
Chicago.
Too much water even for Baptlsts de-
tracted from the closing days exercises
The rain during the afternoon had the
effect of reducing the attendance from
what it had been on other days. Inc
downpour, which had been prayed for IL
many sections of the West, interfered
with the personal comfort of those who
found their way to the Coliseum, but die
not dampen their enthusiasm.
Water beat through the windows, ant
little streams dripped down among the
delegates. Umbrellas were raised, ant
the rattle of the torrent against the huge
building, the flash of lightning, and the
roll of thunder, and the warning ele'
ments without were met with songs o.
praise and peace from within.
Led by the convention chorus, service
of song was held in the afternoon, which
included solo, THE Ninety and Nine,
by Mrs. Lillian French Green, of the En-
glewood Baptist Church. Following thi:
the Rev. Fred z. Haggard, a missionary
from Japan, made an address on 1.-THE
Missionary Situation" He said there
was a great growth of Christianity in the
Mikado's land, converts being reported
at the rate of 100 a. day, an unprecedent
ed record in the far East. He said there
were 6,305 converts last year due to thu
work of the missionaries.
The keynote of the assemblage this
year was "Kingship," and that was
taken for the subject of the convention
sermon delivered by the Rev. e. e. Chiv
ers, of Brooklyn. He said Christ's was
q spiritual dominion, and that it wa:
more important TO attend to spiritual re
form than to social Improvement.
The evening meeting began with 6
praise service, followed by addresses by
the Rev. L. w. Terry and the Rev
James b. Cranfill. The Rev. William H
GeiStweit, of Chicago, led the c0nsecra
ton service, with which the convention
formally closed.

Hot weather and crop damage reports
overshadOwed and ruled the stock mar
ket during the week, causing lower prices
for most securities, limiting trading, and
affecting all commercial lines of business
to a greater or lesser degree. While the
situation is regarded as a serious one, it
is confidently believed that the reports
of crop damage in Iowa, Nebraska, Kan
sas, Missouri, Oklahoma, and Texas have
been greatly exaggerated. Estimates so
far made indicate a decided shrinkage in
the yield of corn this year. but this is in
a measure made up to the farmer by
higher prices for his grain.
The full extent of the damage to crops
is not yet known and the uncertainty is
still to be removed. Definite information
is anxiously awaited throughout the
country. The recent soaking rains in the
West have materially arrested deteriora-
ton and enabled the farmers to plant
fodder crops, thus minimizing in meas
ure the damage to corn. 1t is recognized
that the farmers are now financially
strong, having prospered of late years
beyond precedent, and hence are easily
able to withstand losses that a few years
ago would have meant ruin and bank
ruptcy.
The steel strike has been gradually
working to an end. The buying of steel
stocks under heavy demand had a good
sentimental influence and steadied the
market. The position of the coal stocks
is particularly strong, while those of the
granger roads have been, as a rule, CORE
spOndingly weak. The general trade sit
uation is most favorable, and the termi-
nation of the steel strike and a break in
the drought in the West will stimulate
broader activity in nearly all ines.
The earnings of large majority of the
railroads throughout the country for the
first three weeks in July show material
increases and gains over the correspond
ing period a year ago. There is a short
age of freight cars for moving the i'm
mense wheat crop, and the granger lines
have about all they can do. The COM
munity of interest agreement of West
ern roads TO stop rate cutting on freights
was Jared during the week by a report
that one of the principal roads was cut
ting under the tariff For a time it look
ed as if the agreement" would go TO
pieces but Wall street financial and
banking interests again came to the res
cue and rates were restored.
Money for commercial uses is easy and
lenders experience difficulty in placing
funds even at low rates in Chicago and
New York. There is little speculative de-
mand for money, but an Improvement is
looked for in this direction as soon as the
extent of the crop damage is known.

Only a Certain Kind.

There is story told among the peas,
antry of Schleswig, the former Danish
province annexed after the war in
1864, of how Prince Bismarck was con-
founded by the tongue of shepherd
lad. Shortly after the close of the war
Prince Bismarck went on an inspection
tour through the provinces. as he de-
sired to study the feelings and senti-
ments among the people. He talked
with the peasants, getting valuable
though not always agreeable informa-
ton. For days he was annoyed by
constantly hearing dogs called Bis
marck." Desiring to know what it
meant, he called out In a gruff voice to
a shepherd boy who had uttered the
dreaded Chancellor's name in connec-
ton with his dog:
Are all dogs in this country named
Bismarck"

replied as he dotted his cap, les list

Thread Used in Surgery.

The modern surgeon employs in his
work dozens of different kinds OF
thread for sewing up cuts and wounds,
Among them are kangaroo tendons,
horsehair, silk and very fine silver
wire. Many of these threads are ~
tended TO hold for a certain number of
days and then naturally break away
The short. tough tendons taken from
the kangaroo, which are used for sew
ing severe wounds, will hold for about
four weeks before they break away
Silk thread viii remain much longer,
Sometimes six months. while the fine
silver wire is practically indeStructible.
With the entire outfit a surgeon is
able 10 select a thread that win last as
long as the wound takes to heal and
viii then disappear completely. To
accommodate this assortment Of
threads special varieties Of needles
are required Besides the needle
GRAINED in different segmentS Of cir
Gle. surgeons use needles shaped like
spears. javelins and bayonet points.
Some are as long as bodkins, in a point
like a miniature knife blade. Others

An Intelligent, Large-Limbed and a
Fleet-t Dotted Animal.
The FLORIDA raZorback' is the hog
indigenous to this climate and soil. He
is usually large of limb and feet of foot
being the only known porker that can
outrun a darby. He has tail Of Won
drous length, which, while he is IN
active motion, he twists into the tight
est corkscrew, but with which while
quietly feeding he raps his leathery
sides much in the same manner that the
docile cow uses her tail He is self
supporting. He earns his own living,
and thriYes equally well in the high
woods, in the fiatwoods, in the hum
mocks, and in the marshes. He subsiSts
on anything he can find above the ea~tn
or underneath its surface. He has q
clear far-seeing eye, and is very sensi-
tive of hearing.
Nature has equipped him with snout
almost as long as the beak of the wild
pelican of BOrneo, with which he can
penetrate the earth many inches in
quest of worms, snakes and insects,
says a writer in Forest and Stream. He
is the most intelligent of all the hogs,
and is likewise the most courageous.
He has been known to engage in mortal
combat with coon for the possession
of a watermelon, and rend asunder a
barbed wire fence.
He is so intelligent that when he lives
In the towns he becomes as familiar
with the railroad schedules as are train
dispatcherS themselves, and plies his
vocation in great numbers about the
railroad stations, and yet no train ever
ran over a ''razorback."
Whenever the railroad companies are
forced to pay for the killing of a hog
it always proves to be a Berkshire, a
Guinea, or some other fine breed-never
a ''razorback." He is too active and
alert to be caught even by locomotive.
He is nervous, restless, energetic, and
hence does not thrive we'll in pens. Con
fined he loses rather than gains flesh.
He is always ripe for market, and his
condition is as good in August as it is
in January. His owner respects his in
telligence, admireS his nerve and is
fond of him as food, for he may always
be depended upon to afford the proven
bal ''streak of lean" with a very small
"sueak of fat" He is the king of hogs.
He can be grown more profitably than
any other known variety, since, as has
been observed, he is energetic and intel
ligent enough to feed and clothe HIM
self.

WANTS HARVEST HANDS.
Wheat Crop of the Canadian North
west Beats All Records.

From the western part of Canada come
reports of an unprecedented harvest. So
great does the yield promise to be that
it is doubtful if the railroads can trans
port it. Arrangements have been made
at Ottawa for harvest excursions, which
will carry workers TO the northwest. 1t
is estimated that Manitoba alone will
want 10000 haryesters, at wages of from
$50 to $40 per month, with board and
lodging. There are 100000 acres of
land sown to wheat, and it is estimated
that the crop will be between 100000
and 100000 bushels. Putting wheat,
oats and barley together. there will be
an aggregate yield in Manitoba of So
100000 bushels at least, since the oat
crop is certain to amount to at least 25,-
100000 bushels, while barley will ex-
coed. 100000. In short, taking it all
around. this is by far the latest year
ever experienced in the Canadian north,
west.
