SUBMARINES IN WAR
Holland Type Boat Makes a
 Successful Trial Trip.
UNDER WATER FOR TWELVE HOURS
Naval OMiciaIs Go Down In Destroyer and Enjoy Food Cooked by EIec- tricity-3oat Sunk and
 Raised at Will.

NEWPORT, R. l., June 7.-The final tests in the submarine trials which have been conducted for a week past by the trial board of the navy depart. ment were begun last night, when the Holland type submarine torpedo boat Fulton was taken to a point between Point Judith and Narragansett Pier and at 5:30 o'clock sunk to the bottom of the bay, where she remained for twelve hours. The submarine rose to the surface this morning and had a full speed surface run, which conclud- ed her trials.
 On board the Fulton were Naval Con. structor J. J. Woodward, Lieutenant Charles F. Nelson of the submarine torpedo boat Porpoise, representing the United States navy; Captain F. c. Ga ble, Lawrence J. Speir and crew of eight men. A supply of food was taken aboard and cooked on electric stoves.
 The submarine trials began early In the forenoon. The Fulton was taken to q point of Point Judith and from there went submerged through ten mile course The periscope was used successfully, the submarine coming to the surface directly between two tar gets off Black island, which marked the end of the course The ten miles were covered in one hour and twenty minutes.
 On the supposition that the periscope had been injured the Fulton was again submerged, the intention being to at tack imaginary warships, rising to the surface from time to time to take ob. servations from the coming tower.
 Captain Train, chairman of the trial board, said that all the maneuvers had been entirely successful as was also the ten mile run.

Aunt Comfort that he didn't have. The comedy was of short duration, however, for the chance to dose some one was consolation to Aunt Comfort, and she acted promptly.
 Stick out your tongue" she said to Nezer, and red and healthy specimen shot out of his face.
 "Nothin' the matter with yer stum- mick ez. I kin see," she calculated, feeling of his hands, '"n' no signs O fever. You say your head aches, 'n' back, n legs, 'n' you sartain1y ain't eatin' naturally Do ye hev cold chiIls up n down yer spine?"
 ''Yessun," responded Nezer, eagerly,
 Feel dizzy?"
 "All the time.'
 ''Sick to yer stummick?'
 "Yessurn."
 Bad dreams, you say?"
 'YessIm.'
 Aunt Comfort, wiping her Specs" on her apron, adjusting them and pulling one of the invalid's eyelids down Let's see your tongue agin."
 For moment she scanned 1t. and then added, You want good dose of thorough-wort m guess I'll begin with lobelia," and she started for the attic.
 "It's curus," she observed to Angie. after Nezer had swallowed his dose of lobelia tea without a nurmur and hastened out of the kitchen, ''I never saw that boy so willin' ter take medi- cine afore. mn yet he ain't got no signs, 'ceptin' loss of appetite n a leetle yaller round the eyes. Must be suthin' comin' on, though" If there was, she took prompt, wig orous methods to head it ofr, however, and gave Nezer no rest.
 At first he had dreaded discovery and dreamed of hanging, but inside of two days, persistent course of thoroughwort, catnip. opodeldoc and lobelia, again varied by hot app1ica- tions of burdock leaves and pepper tea. had made prison seem a blessed escape from trouble, and vinegar taste sweet
 By this time Nezer was sick in ear- nest, and Aunt Comfort, somewhat scared, sent for Dr. Sol. He examined him, and after Aunt Comfort had re- counted the remedies she had tried he laughed.

CHAPTER xxxv.
A TROUBLED CONSCIENCE.

A TROUBLED CONSCIENCE.
 When Nezer saw the wfite-clad flg- mre of David Curtis burst out of the house and vanish in the darkness with R yell of fear, his ingrained love of mischief received keen but mo- .mentary satisfaction, followed by a sudden dread of consequences, and in- 1stead of continuing his ghost parade down the street, he sneaked away over the hills and hid his Scar Face dis guise. The next day he joined with Khe rest in search for David, and when it cu1minated in Nezer's grew Eome discovery, for the first time in his Aife he began to repent of his devil ment. It was fear of being found out, of course, rather than regret; and yet It's results were the same. That feel ang increased hour by hour, and by the time the tolling bell sounded it's solemn warning and the short pro cession started on it's errand, Nezer had reached a state of abject misery. Ut seemed to him that he must be sus- pected by some one, and if found out, the dire punishment sure to follow was fearful to contemplate. He had read of lifelong imprisonment and hang angs-the latter with eager interest and now 1t began to dawn on him that he might become the central figure in such a scene, and the thought was fearful to contemplate He knew he had done something awful; in its re- suits at least, and possibly the law would consider 1t murder.
 He dared not conf1de in any one, so his imagination grew more terrible with doubt until he was sure hang Ing would be his fate If discovered. This dread certainty grew worse day by day, he could not eat nor study. hnd if team stopped in front of Aunt Comforts, or a man looked at him unduly, he felt worse. Then he began to have troubled dreams, saw himself bound hand and foot and carried to Riverton, where the courthouse and jail were, then locked in narrow cell and twice he dreamed that he was standing on 8 seaffold with a moose about his neck. He began to grow thin and hasgard. and as Aunt Com fort would call 1t. "wofully peaked
 And now ensued a most ludicrour game of cross purposes. for there wasn't an ache or pain suggested by

the rustling leaves, and then looked up at Angle again.
 Say, Angie" he said, wont ye never tell nobody if I tell ye suthin?"
 No, Nezer," she answered seriously.
 Hope ter die?"
 Hope to die"
 Hope the buggers I'll carry ye off If ye do?"
 Hope they will" ~ Then Nezer, having thus sealed her lips, arose.
 Come with me, he said, n I'll show you suthin," and he led the way into the woods
 For quarter mile Angle followed him into the forest, until a dark thickeL of hemlocks, choked with boulders, was entered, and here he dropped prone to earth beside one, and reach ing into a crevasse beneath it, drew forth bundle, and, undcing 1t, held up the hideous mask and head-dress, of Scar Face.''
 For moment he grinned at Angie, and then put theA on. Would ye be skeered now ter meet me arter dark?" he queried.
 It was such naive and Nezer-like way of confession, that, in spite of the recent tragic event, Angie almost laughed.
 And so you are responsible for this awful happening" she said, as sternly as she could. Now know what has ailed you for week, and am glad Antie gave you lobelia; you deserved worse medicine"
 It wasn't uttered with convincing force, however, and when Nezers face emerged from the mask, he looked both proud and relieved.
 "I s,pose they'd put me in jail if twas found out" he said, as he hid the mask again. and led the way out of the woods. You don't think they'd hang me, do ye, Angler"
 This time Angle had to laugh.
 Now ten me all about it, Nezer," she said. five promised to keep your secret, and I will" And when the bor- der of the woods was reached, she sat on the leaf-carpeted ground and lis tened for an hour to Nezer's recital of his exploit.
 And of the two, 1t is certain he en- joyed the telling the more.
 Ut was an awful thing to do, Nezer," Angie asserted when the tale was told, land I'm glad 1t isn't on my conscience. If you don't quit moping around the way you have, however, and act nat ural, all Greenvale will guess your secret before long,"
 But Nezer was cured already, and. when the lowering sun had started them homeward, he was almost hilar- ious in his joy. On their way they passed Martins fish-pond, and here surprise awaited Angie, for the long, narrow lakelet lay smiling and gently rippled in the autumn breeze, thin sheet of water poured over the we'll built dam, and beside the pond, and sheltered by a tree-crowned hillock. stood a tiny cottage with, wide veranda.
 Its fer old Cy," explained Nezer, with almost the delight of possession. "Hisn's so old an tumbledown, Martin built this fer him ter watch the pond. SO us boys wouldn't be ketchin' the trout. wouldn't" he added, with as- tonishing frankness, fer ketched more'n 200 on 'em ter put in, n got l ten cents apiece" It was evident Martin had won Ne | zer's heart, and as Angie peeped into | the pretty cottage, with it's two, rooms below and open fireplace in the front l one, and thought what palace it would seem to old Cy after his present hovel, somehow her heart felt heavy. He who had built this, out of kindly l feeling for old Cy. was once her girl-

demand of the mob for the right man.
He was dragged from his cell to the
Jail door and thence down the stone
steps to the paved court in the Jail

and the body hauled up.

Springfield, Ohio, March Sat IL
o'clock a negro, Richard Dixon, was
taken from the Jail and shot to death
in the jail yard and the body was
taken from there to the corne- of
Main street and Fountain avenue and
hung to a telegraph pole where the
mob spent the next half-hour Kidding
the body with bullets from several
hundred revolvers.
The mob forced entrance to the
Jail by battering in the east doors
with a railroad rail. A mob of 500
had gathered at the Jail and was adj
dressed by Sheriff Routzahan, who
pleaded with the people to disperse.
The appeal had no effect and by
o'clock the mob increased TO 500. 1t
lacked a leader and by 1880 many
went away and it was the opinion
that no attempt would be made 10
force an entrance. Small groups oI
men, however, remained at various
points in the neighborhood About
IL o'clock the crowd commenced to
gather again and the excitement
grew. Cries to lynch the negro were
interspersed with revolver shots.
A small crowd opposite the south
entrance of the Jail occupied the at
tention of the police, while the main
body attacked the east door with a
battering ram of railroad iron. The
door gave way and the mob surged in
to the Jail, overpowering the sheriff
and deputies. The police were cal.
ed in from the south door to defend
the cells against the mob. In five

ADMITS PLURAL MARRIAGE SINCE
MANIFESTO OF 1890.
SMOOT SENSATIONAL CASE
Senate Committee Investigating Right
of Utah Senator to Seat Excuses
President Smith After Five Days
Observation-Disclosures to Church
Greed.

Washington, March S.-After having
Joseph F. Smith, president of the
mormon church, on the witness stand
for nearly five hours yesterday before
the senate committee on privileges
and elections, which is investigating
the right of Reed Smoot 20 sit as SEN
ator, both the prosecution and de-
Tense announced they were through
with him. President Smith admitted
he was the father of IL children by his
various wives since the manifesto of
1890. Chairman Burrows asked:
How many children have you now,
Mr.. Smith,"
"Forty-two," was the answer. "Twen-
ty-one boys and 81 girls, and l am
proud of every one or them"
Senator Overman said he had a
pamphlet saying that Jesus Christ was
polygamist. Turning to Smith he
asked:
rs that what your church teaches p
NO, sir" was the response. What
we teach is that Jesus Christ was de-
scended through a long line of polyga-
mists, through David and down to
Abraham" With that Mr.. Smith left
the stand, having been the only wit
ness in the five days the hearing had
progressed. The next witness was
Mrs. Clara Mabel Kennedy, of Sevir
county, Utah, who testified to having
been married into a plural marriage
since the manifesto of 1890. Her first
marriage was at Diaz, Mexico, in 1896
to James Francis Johnson, who al
ready had one wife. She separated
from Johnson five years later and af-
forwards married her present husband
who is an episcopalian.
why did you separate from your
husand?" Senator Foraker asked.
"Well, could not stand the pressure
any longer" she replied.
When asked what she meant by
couldn't stand the pressure" she ex-
planned that she had not been treated
right. The witness said that she had
received no certificate of her marriage
with Johnson, that she did not know
whether he was living or dead and
had heard nothing of him since their
separation
