tive Democratic politician, having been

evidence shows that he murdered
McAndrews, whether for his money
or no matter what motive he had,
hang him, but if not, and | for the
life of me can't see where they have
made out any case against him, set
him free. Let there be no comp,o-
mise in the matter" He talked for an
hour and a half. 1t was indeed an
admirable address, and was given
breathless attention by the jury as
we'll as the large audience present.
In the closing address for the Com.
monweal,h, District Attorney Duy es-
tablished a reputation for himself
His clear voice and quiet delivery
made doubly attractive his address
He expressed himself in plain Terms
respecting the evidence given by DIR.
Davis. "When he testified that he
held conversation with McAndrews
and McAndiews told him that no one
hit HIM l believe he lied" He
showed how the iron reached the
scene, or at least their theory of how
it reached there. He said Levan in
their opinion had reached home,
| when 1t occurred to him that he had
left the iron lay near his victim, and
that on March 81, under the cover of
darkness, he stole back to the scene
OF the crime and hurled the iron
down where it was picked up by the
boys, and referring to this point Mr..
Duy SAID, "It seems to me that it
was the hand of fate that guided that
little half minded boy in carrying the
weapon back to the scene of the
crime" He didn't believe that Ala
bach told the truth when he testified
that he loaned Levan $a5. In con-
cluding Mr. Duy said this has been
no pleasant task for me. 1t has re.
quired time and great deal of labor,
but have done my duty, see tina!
you do yours"
Judge Little's charge to the jury
was brief. fair and impartial. He ex
planned the difference between direct
and circumstantial evidence. He in
structed them to weigh carefully the
evidence. "The case" he said, SIS
now in your hands. Amandus Levan
is here with the presumption Of limo.
cence; If you find him guilty, you may
! determine whether he be guilty Of
murder in the first or in the second
degree"
The jury retired ar three O'Clock
AT seven O'Clock, the Court House
bell announced that they had reached
, a verdict. There was rush for ad-
, mission. Every seat was taken and
the aisles were filed. Levan sat facing
the court. There vas nothing to
show that he was in any way excited
He heaved an occasional sigh, but
other than that ne was utterly indihfer-
ent to what was going on. "Gentle-
men OF the jury" said Judge Little,

STORY OF CAL-CURA.
Discovered by Dr.. David Kennedy
Kidney Remedy Sold Under Guarantee.

DIR. David Kennedy WAS born in New York
City, but at an early age his family moved
to Roxbury, NY. He was graduated in 1860
from the New York College of Physicians
and Surgeons. He at once volunteered as
a surgeon and was assigned to the United
States Army General Hospital in West Phil
adelphia, and soon became President of the
Examining Board and Consulting Surgeon.
After the war, DIR. Kennedy settled in Ron
dout, City of Kingston, N. Y, where for @
number of years he enjoyed large prac-
tice as an operative surgeon. He was one
of the Presidential Electors of New York
State, Mayor of Kingston for four years,
and held many other professional, business
and political Offices.
The latest achievement of his life was the
discovery of Cal-cura Solvent, a positive
cure for all diseases of the kidneys and blad-
der Inspeaking of this remarkable remedy,
he said: "Cal-cura Solvent is the crowning
achievement of my life. 1t will not dis
appoint"
Your druggist will return your money if
Cal-cura fails to cure, and The Cal-cura
Company, of Rondout, N. Y, will pay the
| druggist. Cal-cura Solvent cures $50 OF

Saturday afternoon preceding the
crime, he had loaned to his friend
Levan, the sum OF twenty-five dollars,
the money being in the denominations
of twenty dollar gold certificate and
five dollar bill. He had earned the
money while working In the capacity
of hosting engineer for the Lehlgh
Valley Coal Company. He was on
the road home from work, having
been paid that afternoon, when he
met Levan and gave it to him. He
had frequently loaned money to Levan
before. He had made note of the
loan in a little book which he had
with him. The book wat found to
| contain but the one entry, this the
witness said was because the other
amounts loaned Levan were so small
that he didn't consider entries neces-
sary. His salary amounted to $3I.oI
and he had been paying his mother
$25 month board. The Common
wealth in cross examination en-
deavored to break down the story,
and though the witness remained firm
in his testimony regarding the loan,
he didn't know at what rate he was
being paid, whealher by the day or
by the hour. He was badly ratified,
and would frequently thrust his hand
in his coat pocket for the memoran-
dun book when it laid on the stand
in front Of him.
Allabach's evidence concluded the
testimony tor the defense and the re-
mainder of Friday afternoons session
was occupied by counsel in argument
to the Court. Judge Herring and
MIR. Ikeler could not agree. The
former contended that it was the duty
OF the court to instruct the jury whose
province it is to fix the degree. Much
authority was gwen. The variance
of opinion was finally reconciled and
court adjourned.
ARGUMENT TO THE JURY.
Argument to the jury for the de
fense was made by Hon. Fred Ikele
Saturday morning. His plea for tn,
man Levan whose life or liberty wa
in the hands of the jury was one O
the most eloquent ever heard in tn,
court room. With that pleasing voic
and tacile delivery for which he ha
long been noted, he struck tellln,
blows at the theory of the Common
wealth. He took up all the evdenc,
piece by piece. "The Common
t wealth." he said, "presents nothin,
but theory IN the case. There ar
no facts. Theory on the part of th
Commonwealth attorneys and mag,
nation on the part of its witnesses

Woman Lecturer
Discusses the Boy.

Mrs. Mabel l.. COnkl1n, a prOml-
nent club woman and a leader in
the social purity movement, deliv-
cred lecture before large audi
ence at the Christian church last
night He- subject was "That
Boy of Yours She treated it
with such sympathy and insight
that it was pity that the father
and mother of every boy in the
city was not there to hear her.
Mrs. Conklin has taken the pains
to investigate the question of the
boy, his status in the home and
his relationship with his mother
and his father. She wanted to
know, and found out, why the boy
in so many homes brings grief to
his parents and shame upon him
self. She discovered that boys are
not innately ungovernable, disobed-
lent, wayward. When they are
that way, the evil germ that
brought on the badness can easily
be located within the borders of the
home.
The first seven years of boys
life are all important years, Mrs.
Conklin says. He drinks in know
ledge from the faces and manners
of those around him, and it is es-
sential to his future welfare that
what he sees and hears during this
early portion of his existence
should be pure and wholesome and
character building AS soon as he
reaches the age where he can under
stand it, the mother. or father
should explain to him the myster-
les of life; should impress upon him
the sacredness and beauty of the
powers which he possesses SO that
he may be free from false modesty
and may shudder at the thought of
desecrating himself or any other.
Too many mothers neglect the
boy. They say Anything is good
enough for him. Thev give him
the worst room in the house be-
cause they believe that he can
stand it better than anyone else.
They give him no personal atter-
ton and take no interest in his acts
and progress. Above all they do
not make home attractive to him,
Then they wonder why he finds so
much to keep him away, and later
perhaps they weep bitterest tears
of remorse because he is away from
them for good and all time.
Why should you not give the
very best you have to your boys p
Mrs. Conklin asks. They are dear
er to you than those guests for
whom you bring out your very
best and who care nothing for it,
What should you have comfortable
and beautiful things in your home
for if not to delight those you love
mosts
The father and mother should be
the boys closest companions. They
should be his conhdantes and play
mates. They should not be too
sure that the bad temper and ugli-
nese is wholly on the part of the
boy. They themselves are respon-
sible for a share of the lack of har
mony if it exists.
Mrs. Conklin has a charming
way of talking She has look of
friendliness and generosity in her
eyes that draws one closer tc her
at first sight. She is a woman of
middle age of education and with
cosmopolitan air about her. The
ministers of the various churches
have arranged to keep her in the
city for a week. She will give
number of lectures on social purity
subjects during her stay. Tonight
she will speak again at the Christ
ian church

IN TWO MINUTES At LAST.

At last mile has been trotted
in two minutes. By great burst
of speed on the last quarter
the mare Lon Dillon not only broke
the worlds record yesterday, but
accomplished it by the astonishing
margin of two and quarter sec-
onds, the previous best record, that
of Cresceus, being q mile 10 2:02
ID, trotted at Columbus, Ohio,
two yearaago. Before 1859, when
Flora Temple surprised horse ex-
perts by trotting mile in 2:19
3-4, the swiftest trotters were not
expected 20 get over the track in
less than 2:3O. The best time of
Maud s. was 2:O8 3-4 in 1885.
Cresceus made his record iD 1901
and no cne expected to see it re-
duced to the hoped-for 200 at .

but no one can guess how far be-
low the 2 100 mark it will eventually
seot. -Glo6s- Dsssserat.

WHY THE wlDoweR LOVED HER

to be told again:
Myra, the colored cook gave no.
tice to Mrs. Richardson of her in
tention to leave at the end of the
week. Mrs. r. highly priced the
cooks abilities in the culinary line,
and proceeded to interview her in
an effort to learn the reason for
her departure The following con-
versation ensued:

BRI0HT'S DISEASE.

| Bright's disease, which caused
the death Of Lord Salisbury, is 6
very common maiady, and may be
understood in a general way,
as a more or less chronic iufsmma.
tion of the substance of the kid.
neys. The ailment may be caused
by exposure to cold and check of
skin circulation or by direct dis
turbance of the organs from ir-
ritating substances that are sub
stances that are most readily
eliminated. OF the latter, spiritu-
Gus liquors and other indul-
gences of high living may be men,
toned as leading causative factors.
The various symptoms of the
disease are generally Of slow de-
velopment, extending as they do
over years of ill health. Oc.
casionally they may not declare
themselves for long time after
the affection has secured a firm
hold on the patient, and are only
discovered accidentIy in connection
with attacks Of vomiting, dIstnr-
bance of sight, transient dizzi-
ness, atshmatic seizures and drop
sical manifestations.
So insidious is the invasion that
the careful physician is always on
the alert to make the necessary ex-
aminations before venturing posi-
tive diagnosis. When the disease
is full confirmed it is generally
fatal, involving in ito progress
other vital organs, principally the
heart and arteries. The former
becomes enlarged and dialated,
explaining the asthmatic attacks,
while the vessels grow rigid,
thus disturbing the entire circula.

As a direct result Of such condi-

progressive crippling Of the kid

the resulting accumulation Of
poisonous materials in the blood,
which finally ovsrwhelm the brain,
producing the stuperous condition
which 30 commonly marks the fatal
ending. This was evidently the

Young Plants

Every farmer knows that
3me plants grow better than
JtAors. Soil may be the same
nd seed may seem the same
but some plants are weak and
others strong.
And that's the way with
children. They are like young
plants. Same food, same home,
same care but some grow big
and strong while others stay
small and weak.
SCOTS Emulsion offers an
easy way out of the difficulty.
Child weakness often means
starvation, not because of lack
Of food, but because the food
does not feed.
Scott's Emulsion reallyfeeds.
and gives the child growing
strength.
Whatever the cause of weak
ness and failure to grow
SCOTS Emulsion seems 70 find
it and set the matter right.
