Ex-Governor Blacks Argu-
snent in Molineux Case.
CLUB INSTRUCTOR is ACCUSED
Connects Him With Suspicious Cir
camstances Used Against Prisoner.
Osborne Basis His Argument on
Testimony of Handwriting Experts.

New York, Nov. 11.-The fate OF Ro-
land B. Molineux will be determined
today. When the court adjourned last
evening Justice Lambert announced
that he would allow Assistant District
Attorney Osborne but two hours and
a halt more to finish summing up,
which means that the court will in
struct the jury this afternoon. The
court room was crowded to suffocation
when at the opening OF yesterdays
session former Governor Black rose
TO sum up for the defense. After a
general defense OF Molineux, whom
he declared the prosecution had ut
terly failed to connect in any way
with the death of Mrs Adams. Mr..
Black passed to scathing denuncia-
! tlon OF Harry Cornish, to whose guilt
and not to that of MolineuX he de-
clared every point in the case pointed.
! More than half of Mr.. Blacks ad-
dress, which occupied nearly four
hours, was devoted to an analysis OF
J Cornlsh's conduct and testimony and
OF the testimony of other witnesses in
a manner to support his contention
that Cornish's actions were not con.
| sistent with his innocence of the
! crime of which Molineux stands &C.
cused. Mr. Osborne based his argu.
ment for the prosecution largely on
the testimony of the handwriting ex
perts, which, he said, conclusively
showed Molineux to have been the
writer of the poison package address
and Of the other disputed exhibits.

WATER RIGHTS lNVloLATE.
Springs and Wells In Palestine Arc
Protected by Severe Laws.

Springs and Wells In Palestine Arc
Protected by Severe Laws.
Water is the most precious thing in
Palestine, and the laws which protect
springs and wells are very severe.
Most Of the wells are artificial. Rich
men at very great expense have chis-
eled basins and reservoirs out of the
rocks to receive the flow from springs,
and in many places where no springs
could be found they have drilled
through the limestone a hundred feet
and sometimes twice that distance to
the artesian basin.
None but very rich sheiks can afford
such an expenditure. Nevertheless,
they have not only been the greatest
benefactors of their fellow men, but
those who have sunk wells and built
fountains have erected monuments to
their fame more enduring than palaces
or temples or shafts OF granite.
The temple OF Solomon has vanished
forever, but the pools which he walled
up With masonry and filled with water
still remain. The wells that Abraham
and Jacob drilled in the rock as acts
of piety as we'll as power are as I'M
mortal as their names and will live for
| ever as long as men feel thirst.
According to just custom Of the
country, water rights could never be
forfeited No man who owned we'll
might refuse his neighbor water for
his family or his flocks, but the lord
of the spring was inyiolate. No cred
itor or enemy could take his water
rights away from him. To injure OF
fill up we'll was an objectionable
crime. When the Philistines threw
earth and stones into the well of Abra-
ham, they intended to challenge him
to war Of determination. These GUS
toms and regulations remain today

The Value of Neatness.

Neatness is good thing for girl.
and if she does not learn it when
young she never will, says an ex-
change. 1t takes great deal more
neatness to make girl look well
than it does to make boy look pas
sable. Not because a boy, to start
with, is better looking than girl,
but his clothes are of a different sort,
not so many colors in them, and peo-
pie do not expect boy to look as
pretty as girl. A girl that is not
neatly dressed is called a sloven, and
no one likes to look at her. Her face
may be pretty, and her eyes bright,
but if there is spot of dirt on her
cheek, and her finger ends are black
with ink, and her shoes are not laced
or buttoned, and her skirt is torn,
she cannot be liked. Learn to be
neat, and when you have learned, it
will almost take care of ITSELF

REGULATING A CLOCK.
Husband and Wife by Not Pulling To.
gether Get 1t to Running
just Right.

| When Mrs. Matthews sister re-
turned home after her regular two
weeks visit to the east, she left the
Matthews fine clock. Matthews, es-
pecially, was well pleased with it, as
he said there would no longer be any
excuse for not having supper ready on
time. Mr.. Matthews explained to Mrs.
Matthews just how a clock should be
regulated, relates the Milwaukee Sem
tinel.
IF it goes too fast, lengthen the
pendulum by screwing the little nut
down; if it goes too slow, screw the
nut up" Matthews was in the habit
of getting up early to do little work
before breakfast, and the next morn
ing, when he compared the clock with
his watch the clock was a little slow.
Being an exact man he shortened the
| pendulum little and went about his
| work.
AT noon Mrs. Matthews realized the
advantage of living in that part of
the city where the city hall bell could
be plainly heard. Listening intently
she was prepared to verify the new
| timepiece. When the bell struck IL
the clock showed half minute past
IL o'clock. Remembering her hus-
| bands instructions Mrs. Matthews
heightened the pendulum by unscrew-
ing the nut. That evening Matthews
thought the clock was trifle slow;
in the morning he was sure of it, and
again he shortened the pendulum.
At noon the ring of the city hall bell
| was a minute behind the clock.
This is strange" thought Mrs. Mat
thews, giving the nut few extra turns
in order to make sure it was long
enough.
Matthews forgot all about the clock
that evening. but in the morning it
was slower than ever.
What ails the thing, anyway" NUT
tered Matthews; ''first thing I know
III have to take reef in the wire"
Mrs. Matthews was growing inter-
ested. At noon that day the clock was
two minutes fast.
This pendulum will be dragging on
the bottom of the clock at this rate"
she thought unscrewing the nut until
she thought it would come off.
Again the clock was slow for Mr..
Matthews. He began to doubt the the
DRY of shortening the swing.
why, of course" and in the middle
of his petulant sentence he length
ened the pendulum to the last turn of
the nut. That day Mrs Matthews went
shopping. Her son had been interest
ed, however, and noticing that the
clock was slow again he shortened the
pendulum as much as he thought nee
essary and then gave it another turn
or two "for luck"
At $50 O'Clock, by Mr. Matthews
watch next morning, the clock showed
$3.50 to hairs breadth.
At noon the clock showed ~ on the
very stroke of the city hall bell. That
evening Mrs. Matthews was surprised
to see clockmaker come in with Mr..
Matthews
Just little wager, my dear" ex-
planned Matthews. 1--WE bet Mr.. Smith
$40 that shortening our clocks pendu-
lum makes it run slower and"
"Ah, John. have you been regulating
it too, I've been trying to make 1t run
with the city hall bell"
"And so you've heightened it every
day after Mr.. Matthews shortened it ?"
And Mrs. Matthews could only nod in
the affirmative.

COLD IN THE HEAD.
Advice from Scientific Authority Con-
cerning the Treatment of
Nasal Affections.

So-called "colds" are acute infec-
produced by the action of germs con-
stantly present. If the normal vital
ity or resistance is impaired as by a
lowering of temperature below nor
NAL, the germs gain a foothold and
find suitable soil for growth. In
the process of growth they produce
certain poisons or toxins which are
absorbed into the system, and pro-
duce the symptoms of headache and
fever. The irritation of the toxins
locally causes an Inflammation of the
mucous membrane, characterized by
swelling and discharge of mucous and
pus.
Accordingly, says the Popular Sci
ence News, the indications for treat
ment of an acute infection of the
mucous membrane are: "a Cleans
ing with mild antiseptics with small
glass douche; (2) relief of headache
and fever by appropriate internal
remedies. Cleansing may be effected
with solution of Sellers alkaline
IdDIclS-On0 QlS-
solved in four ounces (half tumbler
fully of warm water. Use in small
glass douche-the Birmingham nasal
douche is recommended. Cleanse the
nose every hour or two. For the re-
lief of the headache and fever, three
grain doses of phenacetin every three
hours until relieved. Don't use qli-
nine.
Every person who is subject to
colds should go to a competent nose
and throat specialist and have thor
ough examination. There will very
likely be found constitutional dis
'turbance of some kind or chronic
affection of the nose and throat
which can only be intelligently treat
ed by physician. The only thing
the writer advises the sufferer from
chronic nasal disease to do on his
own responsibility is to keep the
nose and throat cleansed daily. The
nose and throat deserve even more
attention in this way. as matter of
simple hygiene, than do the teeth.
