THE TEACHERS WIFE.

Clarissa, Mimi, Oct. 2sth.-Mrs. Clara
Keys, wife of Chas. Keys, school teach
er of this place, tells a wonderful story.
For years her life was.one ofmisery.
Her back ached all the time, her head
ached all sthe time; neuralgia pains
drove her to desperation. She used
much medicine, but failed to get any
relief till she tried Dodd's Kidney Pills.
She says:
Very soon after. began using
Dodd's Kidney Pills all my aches and
pains vanished like the morning. dew.
I consider this remedy a God-send to
suffering womanhood.'
Encouraged by their success in her
own case, Mrs. Keys, induced her
mother, an old lady of "a years, to
use Dodd's Kidney Pills for her many
aches and pains. Now both mother
and daughter rejoice in perfect freedom
from illness or suffering which is some
thing neither. had enjoyed for. years
before.

SOMETHING ABOUT CARROTS.

A sirup is prepared from carrots.
Carrot is easy of digestion, and
gently laxative.
Boiled carrot is used as pouHiee for
foul sores, and as vermifuge.
A. strong ardent spirit is distilled
from carrots in some parts of Europe,
ten pounds of carrots yielding about
half a pint.
In the reign of Charles I. ladies wore
carrot leaves as an ornament instead
Of feathers; and the beauty of the
leaves is still acknowledged by placing
a root, or the upper portion of one, IN
water, that it may throw out young
leaves to adorn apartments in winter.
As an article of food carrots. con-
tain a large amount of what are called
heat-producing compounds, with a
small proportion of iesh-forming mat
ter. 1t consists essentially of starch,
sugar and albumen, with a volatile oil
which communicates a flavor unpleas-
ant to many dyspeptics.

NOT GUILTY.
Connelly's Plea Of Self
Defence Finds Credit
the Jury.

( The trial of John Joseph Connolly, of
No 534 Grand street, Hoboken, for man
slaughter in killing Philip Cardello, of
Madison street. in the same city, which
began yesterday. was concluded in the
General Sessions Court this afternoon.
The defense began when court opened
this morning.
Congressman Allan E. McDermott, who
is defending Connolly. in his opening,
said that his client relied on the
defense of self-defense and justif1able
homicide. Connolly, Mr.. McDermott
said, believed that Cardello was armed
with dangerous weapon and he hit Car
dello with barrel stave and not a base
ball bat, as the States witnesses testi-
fed to.
Cornelius Connolly, Charles Rooney and
James Owens were called as witnesses
to testify to the reputation of Cardello
as troublesome and belligerent person.
Cardello broke the elder Connelly's nose.
bit Romey's nose and hit Owens on the
side of the nose with a brick. Judge
Blair excluded the evidence.
Connolly, the defendant, was then called
to the stand. He testified that his father
had told him that Cardello had broken the
elder Connelly's nose on April 90 On the
night of April % when he had the alterca-
tion with Cardello, he went to see man
in Madison street to whom he owed $25,
for the purpose of paying it. He met his
friends on the way, told them his pur-
pose, and expressed his fear of meeting
Cardeilo OF Cardello's brother.
II asked my chums to come with me be-
cause of that fear,1 continued Connolly.
Il met Cardello at Madison and Fifth
streets. asked him to tell me about the

SON ATTACKS THE MORTGAGE
Says His Sister Undu1y Influenced
Her Father to Give Her So, 900.


Vice Chancellor Pitney had before him
today an argument in suit to set aside
a mortgage given by a father to his
daughter, and which transaction was OPP
posed by the son, who says that his
father was unduly influenced.
The case was that Of Edwin N. Thorpe
against Elizabeth Thorpe Smith, his
sister, and the facts are these
say there lived in this city mason
named Ezekiel Smith. He had a son and
a daughter, Edwin and Elizabeth, res
spectively. When along in years he turned
over his business to his son, who, out Of
the profits of the mason business, paid
the expense of the household and through
the agency of a building and loan asso-
citation built home, costing 5000, on
Pavonia avenue and Homestead place.
After the death of the mother the daugh-
ter kept house for her father and brother
and subsequently She married e. man
named Reuben Smith. Her brother didn't
approve of the marriage and on the re-
turn OF the pair from the wedding tour
he left the house In anger Them SO he
says, his sister induced his father to give
ment for fourteen years Of service to him.
This was done and the father died intes-
tate in january, 1900. The son now con-
tests that mortgage and has filed d bill
asking the court to set IT aside on the
ground that his father was unduly In
fluenced.
Counsellor James A.. Gordon represented
the petitioner and Counsellor J. Anderson
the defendant. No decision was given.
