Not Less Than One Year in stnte's
 Prison for Perjury During the Trial
 of the H Housesmiths' Dictator.
 New York, Dec. 9.-Henry Farley, the walking delegate of the Painters union, who committed perjury in connection with the trial of Samuel J.

 Farley is forty-four years old, a painter by trade, and lives at 1075 First avenue. He was represented by John R. Heinzelman, who made plea for clemency. MT. Heinzelman cited the facts in the case, and laid particular stress on the fact that Farley had com mitted the crime in order to help out a friend. r...s-....
 He told of the meeting of Parks and Farley in Bernard Lynch's saloon, at { Third avenue and Fifty-ninth street, where Farley assisted in concocting a story for Parks defense to which he afterwards swore on the stand, and was { indicted for perjury. Subsequently, MT. Heinzelman said, Farley made a full confession to the district attorney.
 Assistant District Attorney Rand, who prosecuted. said that the defend- ant had made such confession and had named a number of people in the confession who were in the saloon on the day in question. This, he said, was only fair to state. MT. Rand added that there was no doubt but that if Parks had been acquitted on his second trial he would have been tried on a perjury . charge, growing out of the statements made by Farley. ss.#a h, .z =,.s... $.
 MT. Heinzelman recalled that Bernard Lynch, the saloonkeeper had been found guilty of the same crime, but in his case sentence was suspended. .

Grand 0uern tInnse.


 In Rachel Goldstein, or the Struggles of Poor Girl in New York" the attrac- tion at the Grand opera house tonight and Friday and Saturday nights with matinee Saturday, many thrilling and startling novelties are offered by Sulli- van. Harris & Woods. who have pro- cured the comedy drama with an entire disregard of expense. One of the strong scenes in the play is that in the first of the much talked of Atlantic liner, Kaiser Wilhelm der Crosse" The le- viathan of the deep is blowing it's way through nid-ocean, and by number of new, original and clever mechanical devices, the rocking of the huge ship and the force of strong gale of wind is perfectly simulated. At one time dur ing the progress of the act the stage is alive with eHigrants of many national ities, their picturesque costumes mak- ing charming color picture against the ultra marine blue of a vast cyclorama drop, which represents the ocean. At the end of the act there is storm at sea, which for vividness and reality has seldom. if ever, been eaualled on the stage. -Z-z--- , Mildred Hammond. the daughter of the wealthy coal operator in No We'd ding Bells for Her. which is at the Grand opera house Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, December IA, 15 and 16, is a beautiful character. and is ad- mirably played by Miss Fanny McIn- tyre. This young woman of refinement and wealth is not afraid to acknowl- edge her love for one of natures young noblemen, who IS an employe of her fa- ther's. The part is one of the best fe- male leads in contemporary melodrama. There will be a matinee Wednesday.
