His Writing.

NEW YORK, October 2S.-Herbert L.

all the handwriting exhibits in the case
the conceded and disputed writings, includ-
ing the poison package address. and he be-
lieyed that, all were written by the same
hand.
Mr.. Twitchell said on cross-examination
that he had rejected signatures at his bank

tlemen' in the different letters to patent
medicine firms and in the request writ
ings showed the same '.g'' and patching
of letters marvellous in their similarity.
Ex-Governor Black read from the evil
dence Mr.. Hay gave at the last trial, that
1t was possible for experts to argue from
the same premises and establish different
conclusions. In that evidence the witness
said the expert would not mention the signs
that contradicted the conclusions they were
expected to maintain.
Did you say that them he was asked.
Yes, and say it now" replied the wit
ness with promptness and composure.

Explanation of It Found by officials
Here.

The officials here find an ample explana-

Samoa 1t is stated that while filling that
important post Mr.. Cederkranz came into
frequent collision with Judge Chambers,
the American land commissioner, who at
terward succeeded Mr. Cederkranz as chief
justice and it is believed that the personal
ill-feeling that followed undoubtedly in
fuenced the character of the advice given
to King Oscar.

medical department who is attached to the
United States legation guard at Pekin.
China, from which it appears that the
American soldiers are the only foreigners
who have far escaped the epidemic of
cholera. Although their general health is
good, says Lieut.. Lyster, their surround

sired. They do not fraterniZe with, the
natives. as they do in the Philippines. and
the peculiar conditions prevailing tend to
isolate the soldiers from the people.

VICTORY FOR WESTERN UNION.
Decision That Its News Service is Pri-
yate Property

CHICAGO, October 2S.-An important
principle of law was established today when
Judges Jenkins, Grosscup. Baker and Bum
of the United State court of appeals hand
ed down an opinion to the effect that the
Western Union Telegraph Company has
right of property in the news which 1t
gathers, and that such right does not cease
when the news Is published on the tickers
rented to it's patrons.
In laying down this principle the court Of
appeals affirms two decisions Of the lower
court, and forever enjoins the National
Telegraph News Company, the Illinois
Commission Company and other defendants
from using the Quotations in question.

ART OWNERS IN A DILEMMA.
Notified to Move Exhibits Out of. Lor-
don Museum,

LONDON, October 2S.-The American
and other art collectors who have loaned
collections to the South Kensington Mu-
scum have suddenly been notified that they
must remove their paintings and other
treasures within six months. The ostensible
reason is that the museum needs the space
for its own art objects, but 1t Is publicly
said that the authorities have come to the
conclusion that the museum is only being
used to save storage fees.
In this connection Americans who object
ed to sending collections to the United
States on account of the duties have been
singled out, and it is asserted that they now
find themselves in curious dilemma. Some
of the owners have presented their coilec-
tons to various museums rather than to I'M

stand from 6 to u hours in this way.
The oats may then be readily dried
by mixing with air-slaked lime, and
the lime may be removed by the fan
ning-mill. The seed is then ready to
SOW. 1t may be stored, but in so do
ing it is liable to renewed smut in

dry, then SOW as soon as is practical

In general, one gallon of mixture
will suffice to treat one bushel of
grain. The formalin should be used
1T the rate of one ounce to three gal
Ions of water.
Formalin is an irritating caustic
which should not be brought into
contact with the skin in pure form.
In diluted condition it is harmless.
If you try this treatment simply
as an experiment, SOW the treated
seed in a definitely marked portion of
your field, using all care to keep the
treated seed free from smutted seed.
If you are adopting this treatment
for your whole sowing, it will be in
structive if you will leave a small
portion, say one or two drill rows,
with the same seed, untreated, thus
enabling you to determine the real
value of treatment. We would be
pleased to have you send a letter to
the Station stating the results of
your treatment, its cost, labor in

of smuts hould be very carefully es-
