An hour before the court was Sched-
uled to begin its sitting those who had
come to attend the trial We're about the
court house doors. Soon after 9 o'clock
they saw Deputy Sheriffs Cass and
Hutchins lead the prisoner out of the
Jail and with one of her counsel, James
Stewart Murphy of Lowell, escorted
her to the court house.
The distance between the two build
ings is less than 100 feet, and scarcely
a glimpse of the woman could be OBJ

in cheerful frame of mind Save for
having been called into court in April
to plead to the indictment found by
the grand jury Miss Toppan had not
been outside Of the Jail since Oct. 80,
1901.
The state officials who are to have
charge of the trial, Attorney General
Parker and Acting Assistant Attorney
General Swift, arrived on the morning
train. The principal witnesses, includ-
ing the experts who were to testify as
to the prisoners mental condition, came
on the same train.
The court opened at 10 o'clock with
Judge Henry X. Braley and Charles
libel. who had been assigned by Chief
Justice Mason to hear the case, on the
bench. At the time, the court room was
crowded to its utmost capacity. In con-
connection with the opening of the

The London Sewer Hunter.
From Chambers, Journal.


The London sewer hunter before
commencing operations provides himself
with a bullseye lantern, a canvas apron
and a pole some seven or eight feet
in length, having an iron attachment
at one end somewhat in the shape Of
hoe. For greater convenience the
lantern is invaribly fixed to the right
shoulder, so that when walking the
light is thrown ahead, and when stop
ping its rays shine directly to their
feet Thus ACQUIRED, they walk slow
~ along through the mud, feeling with
their naked feet for anything unusual,
at the same time raking the accumu-
lation from the wallis and picking
from the crevices any article they see.
Nothing is allowed to escape them. no
matter what its value, provided it is
not valueless. Old iron, pieces of rope,
bones, current coin of the realm and
articles of plate and jewelry--aIl is
good fish which comes to the hunters

Among the many qualities necessary
to the happiness of married people is
a certain peculiar faithfulness in the
matter of the household purchases. It
is one whose cultivation is sometimes
neglected, yet 1t is of the utmost Inn
portance, not only as an affair Of
Stewardship, but as the tender care of
the health of the family is involved in
It,; and it is one requiring not little
devotion, as ii means, with all the
rest, daily oversight of the household
stores and attention to their purchase
from the proper dealers; that Is, not
from the cheapest, but from the most
upright. Certainly there is constant
danger of injury from the use of pro-
visions and medicines bought from ir-
responsible dealers, who, in order to
furnish wares at a low price and thus
secure custom, do not trouble them
selves to make sure of their quality.
1t Is a shame that the cup of tea or
coffee on which one in some innocent
measure depends, and which with the
poor is not only a necessity, but some-
times a sole luxury, should be the
means of robbing what health and
strength one has But while there are
INSCRIPTIONS persons to coat the tea
leaves and coffee berries with arse
mic and sulphate of copper, the fatal
touch may be felt by all those who
can not afford the high priced article,
or who are too careless to- attend to
1t and buy of the conscientious dealer;
and the responsibility rests with the
wife who Pas the buying in charge.
And this, sssrhaps trifiing, matter of
the tea and coffee is not all. For look
at the Gamers of fruits--there are
those among them who, wishing an
easy way to preserve their product
from fermentation, use one of the
most powerful and dangerous of drugs,
salicylic acid, whose action ought to
be well known, and which the physi-
clan himself gives only with the
greatest caution. And the family at
the table consume the dainty with
satisfaction, ignorant that they are
eating their way to destruction-those
who have unsupported affections to
sudden heart failure, and others to no
less serious If more prolonged trouble.
And since there are righteous Gamers,
1t is wisdom for the house mother to
ascertain that her purchases are made
of firms who do not allow the use of
the salicylates, and to make sure,
moreover, that her milkman Is one
who would scorn to take advantage
of the antiseptic property of the drug.

FRIGHTFUL ACCIDENT.
The Horse Ran With Man Dragging at
His Heels.

A terrible accident happened
to James Wright, blacksmith.
While drawing a nail from the
foot Of a vicious horse owned
by Henderson and Son, the
brute knocked him down and
bolted. In some manner that
even the eye witnesses could
not see or understand, the long
halter rope became looped or
wound around Wright's leg and
he was dragged on his back
from Vine and Summer Streets
to the end of the hitch rack one
block south, there the horse
turned at full speed and ran
out to Main Street. In making
the turn the body of the living
man began to roll and bound on
the hard gravel and cruel rocks
near the wind mill. Across the
street, the maddened brute
checked its speed, the rope be.
came loosened and the bleeding
bruised body lay on the ground
where gentle hands placed it
on a stretcher and took it to
the Ely Hospital.
At first it was thought that
Wright was dead, then that it
could not be possible for him
to escape with a whole bone,
but he lived, his bones were not
broken. but his bloody head and
face was full of confused
wounds and his body mass of
bruises.
At this writing Mr.. Wright,
though not all right, is able tc
set up and will be able to be
out IN few days.
