May I77I, according to Whitehead's
History of East Jersey, it vas occu-
pied by Chief Justice Smyth and in
October I774 it became the residence
of Governor William Franklin, son of
Benjamin Franklin. AS far as known,
Governor Franklin is the only COVER
nor who resided in the present build

revolutionary war broke out and it
was in this historic old mansion that
he was held a prisoner by the New
Jersey militia.
When Perth Amboy was in posses
sion of the British troops, their com
mander's headquarters were in the
Westminster.
Some time after the close of the
war the interior was destroyed by fire.
The Board of P%roprietors sold the
structure in 1895 and it was rebuilt
and enlarged by John Rattoone. Sub
sequently it passed into the possession

dents today still refer to the structure
as the Brighton House. This family

exhausted and special venires were or dered. Altogether thirty-five talesmen were examined. Most of them ha1 heard of the murder or they had real about it. In nearly every case, how ever. the juror said that what he had heard had not made such an impression that it would take evidence to remove it.
 An interesting fact about the circu.a- ton of the papers of Phoenix was brought out in the course of the exam nation uf the jurcrs who had read about the tragedy at Agua Caliente All of them but one testified that they had read the story of the murder in The Republican. The lcne juryma1 had read it in the Enterprise.
 During the examination, the wife or Zapeda, surrounded by her six children. sat opposite the jury box. Three of the little girls are so nearly of a size that it is difficult to say which Is the old est. The eldest of the six is a girl os perhaps fourteen and the youngest a babe.
 The selection of the jury was not completed until 1 o'clo, k, when District Attorney Baker made a statement cf the things the territory expected to prove. He dwelt particularly upon the statement made by McDonald to the persons who entered his saloon after the shooting. in which he said that he was going to die. This particularity on the part of the district attorney on this one point was interpreted 10 be an op- ening of the door for the introduction of the formal dying statement of Me Donald. in which it was not slated by him that he believed death to be immi- nent.
 Finally Judge Street, one of the att torneys for the defense, objected 10 the persistency with which Judge Baker dwelt upon what Mcdonald had sad, and he urged that that should be brought out by the evidence.
 At the conclusion Of the statement by the district attorney, Gus Stre.tZ, a civil engineer, took the stand to te l about the lay of the land in the vlcin- ity of Agua Caliente.
 On the motion of the defense, the witnesses were excused for the day and excluded from the courtroom dur- ing the progress of the trial.

A New Discovery That Kills tho Germ

Pretty nearly all the hair prepara- tions for dandruff have some merit in allaying itching of the scalp, and in being q fairly good dressing for the hair, but there is only one that recog- nizes what causes dandruh. falling hair and badness, and that destroys the cause, a little gern-and that IS Newbro's Herpicide.

and with greater accuracy and
rapidity, those against whom their
fire is directed are removed so far
out OF range that it is the rare ex-
ception, not the rule, that a shot
finds a human target. 1t is estimated
that not one in thousand of the rife
balls fired in modern battle hits
anybody, and when there is a hit, the
chances of the wound being fatal are
not more than one in five, for the
vital area of man when presented as
a target to a rifie-ball is not more than
twenty per cent. of the total area ex-
posed so that out of one hundred hits
eighty are in non-vital parts.
Official figures show that a very
small percentage of the wounded die
in modern warfare. According TO re.
cent statistics, more than eighty-five
per cent. of the wounded recover, and
about one-third of the deaths from
wounds occur before relief reaches the
sufferers ON the field. OF course, if
it were not for the valuable service of

How deeply she who scorns can love
His eyes be like the starry lights
His voice like sounds of summer

In all his lovely mien let pierce
The magic of the universe.
And she to him will reach her hand
And gazing in his eyes will stand,
And know her friend, and weep for
