into the room. Decidedly her appear ance on the stand was thus far the most interesting event of the trial Warde studied the face of the young woman with not a little curosity, for the secluded life which her taciturn father had forced his family to lead made her the object of much specu- 1ative curiosity throughout the com 1nunity. She was slender and graceful of figure, with rather pale face, re- fined features and dark gray eyes. Although dressed in mourning, the expression of her face was naughty and self-possessed, rather than sor- rowful. 1t would have been somewhat difficult to imagine her as having shed many tears over the crime that had been committed. Warde fancied that her features contained the proofs of 8 domestic tragedy; for the face that ought by right of youth and beauty to have been soft, was somewhat cold and. e1notionless; and one gifted with psychofogic powers might have been able to construct a family history with it's secrets, it's injustices, it's truelties in the set lines of that young girls fair and beautiful face.

mer and whispered with the chief o1 police and the sheriff, and occasion ally he could be seen interrogating some person who appeared to have a story to tell which might throw Eight upon the tragedy.
 When the coroner was ready to take up the examination the crowd repaired to the apartment where the body had been deposited. There were two parlors, which, by means of slid ing doors could be merged into one room almost large enough 10 accom- modate those present. IT ose who could not get in stood in the halls and managed to hear the testimony.
 None of the deceaseds family was present except the young man who had given the police the information about the murder. Under police sur veilance he wandered up and down the hall pale and unhappy, apparent Nv absorbed in reflections by no means wholesome. Curious eyes were often turned Howard him, and frequently eyes that had another light than of curiosity in them, but he seemed oblivious to it all, although being under arrest he knew that suspicion pointed to him.
 His mother and sister were said to be very much unnerved by the trag- edy and remained in their rooms un- til they were compelled to testify.
 When the jurors had taken their seats and everything was in readiness, an examination of the body by the coroner revealed the fact that Wright had been shot in the back of the head, and at close quarters, too, as was evidenced by the powder burns on the hair. And the inference was unavoidable that the murderer had been walking behind his victim, and that the latter did not expect the at tack. He must also have been fully aware who it was that walked thu, behind him, for the squareness witt which the blows had been deal showed that he had not turned hi haad in suspicion or curiosity

Letters From Kishaneff Confirm Bar
 baritfes and Ask Help.
 LONDON, May 19.-Dr. Hermann Adler, the chief rabbi, in the course of pastoral charge to his congregation referred to the anti-Jewfsh riots at Kishineff. The accounts published by the press, he said, had not exaggerated the extent of the barbarities committed. He had received q letter sent by a number of leading citizens of Kishfneff which fully corroborated what had been published.
 The letter asked for help, for which ne made an appeal pr. Adler declared that he was pleased that the Americans were going to make representations to the Russian government regarding the Enassacres and that they were already collecting subscriptions for the relief of victims.
 An indignation meeting of cast end Hebrews has been held here. Many of the speakers were emigrants from fIishineff and speaking in Yiddish, made passionate protests against the authors of the outrages. A committee was appointed to collect subscriptions In London for the relief of the sufferers by the riots.

PEASANTS AND JEWS|
Statement of Count Cassini.
 Russian Ambassador.
RUSSIAN JEWS ROB THE PEASANTS
It Is AgricuIturaIist Against Money Lender, and Trouble Comes When the Former Have Lost Their
 All by Usury.

WASHINGTON, May. 19. - Count Cassini, the Russian ambassador, has made the following statement relative to the Jewish troubles in Russia:
 There is in Russia, as in Germany and Austria, a feeling against certain of the Jews. The reason is that the Jews will not work in the field or en- gage in agriculture. They prefer to be money lenders. Give a Jew couple of dollars. and he becomes q banker and money broker. .
 "In this capacity. he takes advantage of the Russian peasant, whom he soon has in his power and ultimately de- stroys. It is when the patience of the peasant is exhausted that a conflict be- tween peasants and Jews occurs. Or dinarily the Russian is q very patient person, but it is only natural that he should entertain feeling of resent ment for the one who has wrought his ruin.
 Emperor Nicholas I. sought to help the Jews by ordering the establishment of agricultural colonies in southern Russia, hoping to induce the Jews to engage in agricultural pursuits instead of money lending, but the effort was not successful, nor have other projects for establishing Jewish states been sue l cessful.
 "The situation in Russia so far as the Jews are concerned is just this: It is the peasant against the money lender and not the Russians against the. Jews. There is no feeling against the Jew in Russia because of religion. It is as I have said-the Jew ruins the peasants, with the result that conflicts occur when the latter have lost all their worldly possessions and have nothing to live upon.
 There are many good Jews in Rus sia, and they are respected. Jewish genius is appreciated in Russia, and the Jewish artist is honored. Jews also appear in the financial world in Rus l Bia."

CHAPTER v. y

The Wright place was one of the oldest homesteads in the country, but neither time nor war had lismantled 1t of it's old-time grandeur. The sharper tints of the dwelling had been toned down, and there was left the soft reposefulness and aristocrat- ic old age. Good care had been taken of it by the Wrights, who had kept ft in thorough repair and enhanced its interior decoration. The long avenue sentinelled by trees, leading to the house, was scrupulously gray eiled, the trees were trimmed with care, and the lawn in summer was as smooth and soft to- the eye as green silk.
 The house itself was an example of the magnificent in structure. It had long piazza, spacious halls and big rooms. Seen in summer, enyi- roned- by the green foliage, it was very cheerful and inviting, but in win ter it's outward semblance was one of gloom and melancholy. One could easily imagine that it was hiding some unpleasant secret behind it's massive walls. On Irving Warde this impression was deepened on the cold, cheerless morning of the inquest when, in company with his friend, the chief of police, he drove up the carriage way. The murky sky seemed : somehow to have become entangled in the uncanny arms of the black trees, and the grayness of the earth added to the cheerlessness.
 An unusual commotion reigned about the place. The negro servants were in furry of excitement and the ueighbors were arriving in twos and threes, ostensibly sad, but devoured by curiosity. Each one present had his own theory of the murder, and a great many gratuitous suspicious were banded about in the crowd. Warde was content to use his ears and eyes while he waited develop xnents. Perhaps among those pres ent sta1ked the bold perpetrator of the crime. This thought made him silent and watchful, and he soon be- came absorbed in the contemplation of some of those who had arrived.
 Franklin also was there and taking a marked interest in the inquest, for he talked great deal with the coro-

snow, but his testimony was received with a smile, and it was evident that the auditors looked upon his dis coyeries as of no importance, and con sidered him harmless young man who labored under the impression that he was cleverer than other peo- pie. Even Col. Franklin did not ap- pear to attach any importance to Warde's investigations. So tie mys- terious arctics walked cut of court as a joke.
 There was a moments pause ere the next witness answered the sum- mons, and an expectant hush fell on the crowd when Miriam Wright, the daughter of the deceased, stepped

The Antiquity of HOSPITALS.

Many centuries before the Christian
era there existed in India and Ceylon
institutions which performed the func-
tons of hospitals (RealEncyclopadie,
Eulenburg). They were built and main
tanned by the Buddhists. IN the Scrip
ture there is a mention of what the
Hebrews called Bethesda, but this was
nothing more than a few rude huts in
the neighborhood of a mineral spring
supposed to have healing properties.
According to Lecky c'History of Euro
pean Morals') the first hospital was
founded by q Roman lady named Fa-
biola, about the fourth century, at
Rome. Soon after another hospital was
founded by st. Pammachus, and an
other by st. Basil at C9sarea. During
the crusades numerous hospitals arose
in all parts of Europe. San Spiritu,
built by Innocent Ill, was erected in
1904 at Rome. The first hospital III
England was built by Lanfranc, arch
bishop of Canterbury, in 1880. The
first hospital of any size erected in
America was the Pennsylvania hospi-
tai in Philadelphia, begun in 1851 by
Dr. Bond and Benjamin Franklin

Horses of Celebrated Men.

It is generally known that Napo-
Icons white stallion, the horse he rode
at Waterloo, was named Marengo and
that Wellington's charger in the same
battle was Copenhagen. The latter
lived to be twenty-seven years old.
The remains of MarengO are preserved
in the Museum Of the United Services,
London. Do you remember the names
of any of George Washington's horses
In nearly all of the Washington stat
ues the Father of His Country is rep
resented as on horseback, but what is
the name of the animal he bestrides

it was for that splendid animal that

of France, also had only one eye.

The favorite horse of the Chinese en-
peror Isl having died through negli-
gence on the part of the master of the
horse, the emperor in his rage would
have run that functiOnary through
with his sword Mandarin Yentsi,
parted the blow, saying:
'Sire, this man is not yet convicted of
the crime for which he deserves to die
"Well, then, tell him what it u.s."
Listen, you scoundrel,' said the min
lister, 'to an enumeration of the crimes
which you have committed. First, you
have allowed a horse to perish which
the emperor has intrusted to your safe
keeping. Moreover, it is owing to you
that our sovereign became so exasper-
ated that he was on the point Of killing
you with his own hand. Lastly, it is
your fault that he was about to dis
grace himself in the eyes Of everybody
by killing a man for a horse"
