The good old adage-"Thing twice and

reads the following account of the ex-
perence of a Brattleboro citizen. Mr.
Geo. H. Newton made public state
ment on the subject years ago, and at
this time repeats his former testimony
with renewed emphasis.

Initiated Outlaw Tracy.

Two youths compelled an old woman
to deliver her horse and buggy to
them near San Jose, Calf, Saturday
night. They then drove to E. p.
Heples store at Coyote, where they
bought cartridges for a revolver.
Loading the weapon, they held up the
proprietor and several bystanders.
After driving away they met w. w.
Mckee, but he failed to obey their
orders to stop and they fired upon him,
inflicting a slight wound, but he es-
capped. They were entering Stevens's
store a mile and a half from Heple's
when they saw several armed men rid
ing rapidly toward them. The rob-
bers fed across a field toward the
foothills. A running fight ensued, in
which one of the robbers was shot
in the stomach. In emulation of
Outlaw Tracy, he placed his pistol
to his head and blew out his brains.
The other was arrested.

Smaller Wheat Crop than Last

Year..

Market quotations today are practically
the same as a week ago. New potatoes
are a little cheaper and. are coming in
/ more freely. The BURBERRY and rasp-
berry season is nearly at an end. Crop
reports from the West vary largely in the
estimate of the wheat crop, but the in
dications are that 1t will be somewhat
smaller than last year. Flour dealers,
however, do not look for a material
change in the price of that article.

NOTED EVANGELIST DEAD
THE REV GEORGE CARTER NEED
HAM DIES At HIS HOME.
Coworker of Moody and Sankey, and
a WeII-knOwn Writer-Death of
Cornelius Roosevelt.

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 16.-Rev. George
Carter Needham, the noted evangelist. died
suddenly to-day of neuralgia OF the heart
at his home at Narberth, a suburb of this
city. He returned last week from a three
weeks evangelistic Campaign through Ten
nessee and expected shortly TO go TO Chi
cage to preach.
Mr.. Needham was born in Ireland about
sixty years ago. At twenty years of age
he gave up a promising business career In
Dublin to become an evangelist. He toured
England and Ireland until 1865 with fruitful
results, and then came to Boston. He did
pastoral work in Chicago and Canada sew
eral years, but the greater part of his life
was spent in constant movement from one
part of the country TO another. He was one
of those who co-operated with Moody and
Sankey, and when Mr.. Moody died Mr..
Needham was looked upon as being the
available man to carry on the work of that
noted evangelist. A few years ago. accom-
panied by his wife, he visited Japan and
China, where he preached and taught sew
eral months.
Mr.. Needham wrote much on Bible
themes. Among his best known works are
The Spiritual Life Shadow and Sub
stance" Conflict and Courage and
Street Arabs" He contributed TO maga-
zines and papers and one of his little books,
Father Waffle" has reached a clrcula-
ton of half a million. He is survived by a
widow and two sons. Three of Mr.. Need
hams brothers are preachers.

What "Cheek' and One Judicious Out

Washington Post.
1t is really astonishing what an amount
of credit a little recklessly spent money
and a bOunteous supply OF cheek will OBJ
tain for one in Washington. L remember
the case of a woman who for a season or
two quite dazzled the town with the splen-
dor of her entertainments at an expense
to her Of percisely 5000. She came 10
town. where her name and position made
her at once a Somebody, with an elaborate
wardrobe obtained in New York. An old
friend of her fathers had allowed his wife
TO Introduce her there TO a tailor SO fash
ionable that the price OF a thing is never
mentioned In his establishment and bills
are never sent out oftener than twice a
year. She took a furnished house here In a
fashionable quarter.
Shall l pay quarterly or for the entire
season now" she asked the agent
TIL agent answered that she might do
as suited her convenience. and she replied
that as it made not the slightest difference
TO her when she paid, she might as wei
have the matter off her mind at once. SO
she wrote out. carelessly. a check FOR 5000
and took possession OF the house. BY the
mysterious means OF communication known
TO tradesfolk the news spread. Ladies who
can write checks for $1,000 with no more
hesitation than If they We're buying a post

charged her Indignantly on the spot. But
vulgar servants have an underlined way OF

HANDWRITING EXPERTS.
This Humbug Business Having a
Fresh Display i'm New York.
Philadelphia Record.

- 1NCNOAo-
The professional handwriting expert is a
recent figure among witnesses in criminal
trials, and there is reason to think that
too much Importance has been given to his
opinions. In a sensational murder trial in
New York two years ago a vital link in the
cEain of circumstances which led to the
conviction was the testimony of the hand
writing expert. In the Patrick case. now
on trial in the same city, the prosecution
expects that the opinions of handwriting
experts will be of great aid In the convic-
ton OF the accused Unquestionably men
VINO have made a study of handwriting are,
as a rule, better queliied than other per-
sons to pass on questions which involve
the authorship Of disputed writing. How
ever, IL is still to be determined whether
a scientific basis can be found for the opin-
ions OF experts. In the court before which
Dreyfus was arraigned after his return
from his island prison. Jules Bertillon who
devised an ingenious system OF identifying
crlmlnals) spent hours at a blackboard TO
demonstrate that there are exact princi-
pies which might prevent any mistake In
Identifying the writing of any person. No
body seemed TO be able to combat his dem
onstration, but it is now known that his
conclusions as TO an important document,
teaGned py MS exact principles, were posi-
lively wrong. In several instances profess
slonal handwriting experts have disagreed
TO such an extent as TO destroy all conf
dence in the value of their methods
In the Patrick case on Monday last an
expert swore positively that a certain sig
nature was written by Mr.. Rice, with
whose Writing ne had been familiar Tor
many years. All efforts TO shake his con-
hdence in the genuineness OF the sigma
ture failed. Then IL was shown that Mr..
House, one OF the lawyers In the case, had
written the name a few minutes before il
was shown to the expert. II Is appalling
TO think how much influence the positive
testimony OF such on expert may have on
a jury on whose verdict the life OF a man
must depend. We are used 10 the disagree
ment of medical experts. 1t Is understood
that in such cases opinion II based on the
Interpretation by an individual Of appear
ances which may be read In another way
by other experts. Other things being equal.
the preponderance OF influence Is with the
expert whose professional standing Is high
est. The handwriting experts do not admit
that they can be mistaken. since their
methods must be exact OF else worthless.
1t is apparent that the testimony OF the
handwriting expert cannot be accepted as
final. and there is no way to determine it's
real value in any case. But for the trick
Of a lawyer the opinion Of the expert in the
Patrick trial might have been regarded by

TROUBLE OF MARINERS.
How Captain TOOIe and His Ship
wrecked Crew Reached Papeete.

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 16.-The crew
and master, Frederick ]. Toole, of the
British bark S~avernoke, which was wrecked
in the Society islands in November, arrived
here to-day from Tahiti on the steamer
Z~ealandia, after an unusual experience.
SaverEOke was bound from this port
TO the channel for orders, went ashore
Nov. ii on the Isle of Clement Tonnere, of
the POmotu group of the Society islands.
Captain Toole and the crew, eighteen in
number, remained by the wreck a month
in the hope of sighting some passing YES
sci. Dee. 10 Captain Toole and two of the
crew started in a small boat for Manga
Reva, 300 miles away, for assistance. There
was no help at Manga Reva, and Captain
Toole determined to start for Papeete, loo
miles away, but the French -commandant
refused to let him go to sea in the small
boat. On Jan. 10 a trading schooner put in
at Manga Reva and offered TO lake the
crew of the Savernoke to Papeete for LOO
French dollars. While they were nego-
tiating over the terms the gunboat Zeele
came in the harbor with the crew of the
SaVernOke. After Captain Toole left the
wreck it appears that the crew waited for
his return until Jan. 2, on which date the
mate and three of the crew left the islands
for Papeete. They were picked up by the
schooner Maurice 200 miles from Papeete
and taken to their destination, where the
Zeele was found. The Zeele returned for
the crew and went to Manga Reva for
Captain TOole. The reunited crew was
taken to Papeete. arriving there Jan. 81

HEBREWS IN RUSSIA.
The Are Again Being Harassed by
the Cars Government.

London Standards Russian Letter.
The Jews in Russia are again being har-
assed with renewed vigor by order, pre-
sumably, of the government, since oppres-
sive measures are not confined to any one
place. 1 have already noted the order about
Jewish stage people of all classes being
prevented from moving freely about the
country in pursuit of their profession. This
measure took the form of a published order
to apply the clauses of the law relating to
Jews under which such action could be
taken. But there are other means of max
ing things uncomfortable for the race,
which Russians hate, because they fear
them more even than Germans or Poles. 1
do not merely refer to the endless trouble
and hindrance made i'm the matter of
changing and duly entering passports III
the police books. This is a process which
is simple, or almost impossibly difficult. ac-
cording to the idiosyncracies of the acting
official of the time or place. But interpre-
tations are being put upon laws which com
mon sense, to say nothing of a sense OF
justice, hardly warrant. For example. the
law allows Jews who, before the anti-Jew-
ish campaign of ten years ago. had secured
the rights of the first guild merchants TO
reside i'm the capital. st. Petersburg or Mos
COW. U~nhappily, the law did not express
ly say that a Jew merchant had the right
to trade. Therefore, if a Moscow Jew mer-
chant wishes he may go to St. Petersburg,
and he may even live there, but on no ac-
count may he trade there. If he dies his
wife and children are Immediately cleaned
OUT (the expression Cleaned out" is sig
nifcant of the point of view, and is used
in official papers), and compelled to go TO
the Jewish pale" or other place whence
they originally came TO the capital.
AS a general rule increased persecution Of
Jews in Russia signifies that certain of the
authorities are being made uneasy by vari-
Gus carefully hidden and extremely un-
pleasant occurrences of a more or less rev.
dictionary nature, and the Jew is a con-
venient scapegoat for all parties. There
have certainly of late been quite enough
incidents in various parts of the empire to
disturb the minds of those responsible for
the policy of ruling Russia after the meth
DDS of half a century ago. and, as usual,
the Jew is being made TO suffer. or course,
there is some foundation for the charge
that the Jews are more or less mixed up
in every movement of n secret, and, possibly,
dangerous nature. But, then, the Jew is in
Russia, together with the Armenian, the
one man who can be found to enter upon
new undertakings. whether of a gOod or
bad nature. The Russian is lethargic and
unenterprising. Naturally, therefore, not
only in revolutionary movements, so-called,
but In every other form of activity known
in Russia, the Jew is represented. and.
having no friends, is a convenient anvil for
every official hammer.

Most Important Witness in the Alice

FORT WAYNE. Ind. Feb. 16.-Without
saying anything that could throw new light
on the murder of Alice Cothrell, Marie
~Sampleson died this evening at the County
Poor Farm. after a brief illness due TO
child. birth. The officers had hoped she
would talk OF the case If her condition
became hopeless, but she had not the
power. The friends of Dunn, too, who al
ways thought he had been %wrongfully con-
victed, predicted that if the girl felt her
life in danger she would talk. and clear
him Marie was an orphan and worked
In Dunn's family. 1t was her evidence
mainly that fastened on him the murder
OF little Alice Cothrell last July. On the
stand she swore 10 having seen Alice Goth
rell go TO a barn at the same time Dunn
was there, to having heard the child
scream shortly afterward, and TO having
heard Dunn refuse TO drink water from the
cistern in which the child's body was
found five days after her disappearance.

Seven Varsity Basketball Players
Will Come to indianapolis.

Special 10 the Indianapolis Journal.
SOUTH BEND, Ind, Feb. 16.-Notre
Danes basketball men have been %practic-
ing faithfully in the gymnasium for the
past week, trying for positions on the
varsity team that is TO make the Indian
apolis trip, and all but two positions are
now practically decided on. Salmon, cap
tain and full back on the football team,
is without competition for center; Groogan,
captain of the Hall basketball
team, and Glenn, one of his team mates,
are holding the forward positions. with
Barrett as the possible substitute. For the
guards there are five candidates-O'Netll
OF the Sorin Hall team, Doar and Monkey
of the Corby Hall team and Funk and
Medley of the Brownson Hall team.
ONeil will probably get one of these po-
sitions, and he will be substituted at center
in case Salmon is laid UP. The other can
didates for the guard positions are almost
evenly matched. and the successful one
may not be picked for a week yet. Seven
men will be taken on the trip.
The managemen has also succeeded in
scheduling a game with the Anderson team
for the 10Th, and arrangements are being
made for games at Kokomo or Marion on
the 21st and at Logansport on the 22d.
