Two Witnesses Testified.
PRELIMINARY sThIS MORNING

After hearing the testimony OF
two witnesses in the preliminary
hearing of Adam Schmidt. arrested
yesterday on a charge OF subornat1on
of perjury, Court Commissioner
Strong this morning deemed the evil
dence sufficient to warrant him in
binding the defendant over to appear
before the United States grand jury
at Seattle the first Tuesday in De-
cember.
Schmidt appeared in court with At
torney Garrecht as counsel and ex-
pressed a willingness to waive his ex-
animation. but Captain Bell as prose
cutor wished to submit the testimony
of two witnesses and the trial was
ordered to proceed. Henry Hamburg,
one of the Russians naturaliZed, who
it is alleged was induced to swear
falsely as to the length of his resi-
dence in the United States, was the
first witness.
His testimony was to the effect
that he had left Russia some time in
bCCCllDcI VI 1000 I1lS pdSopO1I 40
exhibited, showing that it had been
issued November II, 1898. Hamburg
in company with Henry Gottwig sailed
from Bremen, Germany, the next
month, arriving in the United States
some time in January, 1899.
According to these dates Hamberg
legally could not swear his alleg-
fence and receive his final papers IN
til next January. When asked as to
his relations with the defendant he
said that Schmidt had told him it
would be all right to swear that he
had been a resident of the United
States five years at the time he re-
ceived his final papers. Gottwig, who
accompanied Hamburg to this coun-
try, corroborated the testimony as to
the time of sailing from Bremen.
hmm ediately following the testf-
mony Commissioner Strong bound
Schmidt over to appear before the
United States grand jury under bonds

Little Anecdotes illustrating the WIT

Douglas Jerrold, the playwright,

company that was performing one
of his plays at the Haymarket the.

said the manager, protesting. HE
was bred on these boards" "He
locks as if he had been cut out OF

The playwright was always very
nervous on first night. Another
dramatist, popularity supposed to

the French, boosted that he did not
krcw the meaning of nervousness
on such an occasion. Il can quite

Mr.. Hare,s Eavorite Stories.

; The late Augustus W. Hare, the
English writer, used to tell a story
aof Dean Stanley, who was cousin
of his. Stanley was proverbially
absentminded. On one occasion he
was driving in Sicily with a. friend.
1t was bitterly cold. Stanley had
his travelling bag with him and de-
leided to put on an extra wrap. Roars
Eof laughter from the street urchins
,awoke Stanley at last to the fact
that he had put on nightshirt over
his coat. Mr.. Hare was fond, too,
of repeating a story of the Khedive
Ismail of Egypt. Nassau Senior
was to be received by his highness,
who had been warned that Senior
kept a diary. ooh, yes, [ quite I'M
derstand," said Ismail. IN. Senior

American Nerves.

A German physician who once came
to this country to practice was soon so
bewildered by various nervous all
ments he came in contact with that he
punched them all together, and called
Americanitis.
It is commonly said that Americans
oyerwork their brains and bodies, but
it would be truer to say they misuse
their bodies. If they run to catch a
train; if they start out for healthful
exercise; even if they lie down to sleep,
they throw so much wasteful energy
into these acts that they actually i'm
pede the muscles. This is pre-eminent.
ly true of American women. and OF
American women of leisure, at that.
Generally working woman learns
some economy of energy because she
realizes that she cannot go on by
waste.
In the matter of lying down to rest
how rarely you see woman who lies
supine like a little child, who allows
the bed to take the responsibility OF
holding her up Instead she holds on
to the bed, she grips the pillow, draws
I'D her knees, tightly clenches her
teeth. In her busy brain she goes
over and over again the little round
of her day, or she tastes in anticipa
ton the troubles of tomorrow.
