some changes in 1t, signed it and au-
thorized its publication.
Doctors Memory Somewhat Hazy.
Dr. Ames then being recalled admit
letter. but if so he did not remember
or hearing of the letter until his wife
read it to him out of newspaper.
His memory was similarly hazy when
questioned about what Gardner meant
when he spoke about getting the ex-
pense money back although he sup
posed it was in connection with the
raids on streetwalkers.
The defense then put on number
of witnesses to testify to the de-
PENDANTS previous good character.

when he called on the mayor with
reference to an appointment, the lat
ter seemed to be out of his mind.

mayor was crazy.

ion DR.. Ames was not capable of judg.

ing money in the manner charged. nor
could he distinguish right from wrong.

WITH the EVIdenCe OF the
Who Paid for Protection.

Minneapolis, May 5.-The state has
rested in the trial of former Mayor A.
A. Ames for bribery and extortion.
This action was taken after a num-
Der of witnesses had been heard.
Louis Anderson, a saloonkeeper, testi.
fled that he received $50 from Nor
beck, then inspector of police, which
was to be paid by him to the keeper
of place of designation over his sa-
loon. The woman had been pulled"
by mistake after paying for protec-
ton and this money was to reimburse
her. A number of women, who ad-
mitted that they ran immoral resorts,
then testified to paying Gardner, the
go-between, various sums for protec-
ton.
When the state rested the defense
secured an adjournment until after
noon and the attorneys Immediately
went into earnest consultation as to
the course to be pursued. 1t was
finally determined to plead incipielt
paresis and insanity. This course
has already been foreshadowed by the
failure of the defense to put the state

There are no limits to what one may pay
for paper. There is an effective paper for
the woman who likes to have things match
and mas her writing table furnished with
delft. This paper is imported, costs $3.50
a qulre and has scenes in a delft blue on
the deep, straight flaps OF the envelopes.
The flaps cover almost the entire back Of
the envelope, and are in turn covered with
the pretty studies in blue, different scenes
on different envelopes. The letter paper is
plain.
There are no more new ideas in letter
paper than in anything else. and many old
ideas are being repeated. This is to be
seen in the monogram engraved on the flap,
which is coming into vogue again. The
address on the flap has been used gener-
ally for the summer residence paper. The
transformers Of summer visits has made it
helpful to have the address of the sender
Of the letter on the outside, but now 1t is
being again used for letter paper for the
city. The address, the initials or mono
gram are stamped on the envelope.
Illuminated letters are still the best Of
anything, and this market is effectively
done in three colors. When these are in dull
tones the result is particularly rich. The
initials are placed in the center of the top
OF the sheet and are to be seen in three
running letters or in dropped letters, one
under the other. y is the most expensive
style of engraving, costing 10 cet6s a quire
for three letters in as many colors. Ini-
tials and monograms N circles, while not
new, are always more or less used.
