JURY CONNECTS DR.. ANES
Ex-Mayor of Minneapolis Is Found
Guilty of Accepting Bride
While in Office.
THE OUTCOME OF A CELEBRATED CASE.
Verdict Was a Severe shock to Both
the Defenda MT and His Wife-He Is
Given His Freedom on BOnd-Eight
Other Indictments Are Pending
Against Convicted Man.

Minneapolis, Mimi, May DIR. AL
bert Ames, four times mayor of Min
neapolis, and central figure in the
system of graft that held sway in
this city during 1901 and 1902, has
been found guilty of accepting a
bride of 5000, while in office. The law
specifies a maximum sentence of ten
years in the penitentiary or $1,000
fine, or both, but it does not specify
minimum penalty. The court will
impose sentence Saturday morning.
The interest in the trial was mani
tested by the fact that there was quite
gathering of people present to hear
the verdict. They had come into court
early and waited about to hear what
the result would be. The keen inter-
est was shown by the silence in the
room while the verdict was being read
by the clerk. The usual motions were
made for stay and an arrest of execu-

took place at 1920. Both yachts car

lenger and ahead. Before a mile was
covered, however, the challenger had
worked to windward and had drawn
level with the older boat. Capt.

with the object of giving the boats an
even start on the long run to leeward
from Powder buoy, which was turned

There the wind drew southerly, spin

fetched down on the port tack.
After passing Lunderston bay the
yachts squared away for Rothesay bay

of the morning had been changed
The boats were not racing but were
merely sail stretching. In Rothesay

Prof. Muthmann, of Munich, has dem

that the regular supply of inter will be

Odors have been found to vary ac-
cording to the molecular weight of
substances, and it is believed with good
reason that smell is due to gaseous vi

nerves with sufficient force to be per-
ceived. 1t is curious fact of common

the long fight on appeal.
Case Quickly Disposed OF.
The case has broken every eXpec-
tation as to the shortness of time
taken to try it. Before the trial few
would venture an opinion that it
would take less than two weeks to
select the jury. And yet inside of
two weeks the jury had been select
ed and the case finished. 1t is safe
to say that inside of two weeks the
case will be entirely disposed of so
far as the present trial is concerned.
Through all the trial DR.. Ames has
borne up well, and to every appear
ance he has not seemed better at
any time than he was during the
summing up of the case by counsel.
The verdict of the jury came as Sc
we're shock to both the defendant and
his wife.
Mayor Ames was given his freedom
late in the evening, his bond of $21,-
900 continuing and covering all pur-
poses. He was taken Immediately to
his home, where he refused to see
anyone, friends or reporters. The
shock to the old, gray-haired man,
who hoped for acquittal, was too
great and his attending physicians
ordered him to bed and seclusion.
Not the Closing Chapter.
The conviction of DR.. Ames is the
most sensational but not the closing
chapter in the story of municipal cor
ruption, which has made the name of
Minneapolis a by-word throughout
the United States. The former may
or has been convicted of receiving a
bride from disreputable women,
money paid to Irving Gardner for the
mayor as purchase money for protec-
ton from prosecution and arrest.
But the former mayor rests under
eight other indictments involving bri-
berry and conspiracy, and decisions
have yet to be rendered in other
cases now pending.

KETTLES, MADE USE OF.
Furnish Thread and Clothing.

There was 8 time once when the common nettle was not the usually de- spised weed 1t is now. People did not root 1t out of existence, but cultivated 1t for use as food, for clothing, and for paper manufacture, says Stray Stories.
 It certainly does not look inviting as a food, and yet during the Irish famine hundreds of poor people existed en- tirely on it, cooking the young plant as greens. There was method of blanch- ing it by "earthing up,'' as is now used for sea kale.
 Animals, while refusing to touch the growing nettle, devour it eagerly when made into hay, and in Russia, Sweden and Holland 1t is mown several times 8 year for fodder.
 The common name given to the net tie in some languages means "that with which one sews," for the fiber was used as thread several centuries ago.
 Tn Kamschatka the natives use the thread for fishing lines and cordage. In France 1t is used for paper. In Hindu stan and China it is woven into grass cloth, and the Scotch have prepared. spun and woven into as good linen as the fax makes.
 The Chinese nett1e yields a fiber as soft as silk, and there is now in Dres- den China grass manufactory, de- voted to the industry of weaving cloth from this and the common nettle.

Lord Salisbury was then a com paratfvely young man, and he used to speak from front seat below the gangway. He was slim and had a stoop. He spoke very slowly and with frequent pauses, and his habit was to perpetually get beyond the strip of carpet before him, which no speaker as allowed to pass. As Tory premier and peer, he always appeared to me to share my contempt or his party, for he never lost an opportunity to hint not very obsourely at that contempt
 He was a Tory in domestic issues, but he did his best to keep us out of wars. When MT Chamberlain wanted to go to war with France about the hinterland of West Africa, he put an extfnguisher to that policy. He de- clfned to go to war with Russia over the Port Arthur business, and when Mir ChamberlaiR indulged in some vu1- gar abuse of the czar, he explained that neither he nor his cabinet were responsible for the language of that
