Mr. Darrow in his closing chapter be-
walls the fact that he has failed sto9 tell
the story of his life as he had meant to,
but, after all, he has probably given as
good an insight into the influences that
have shaped his life and character as he
could have done had he tried never so
much harder. For example, it is not diff
cult to see where he came by his ambi-
lions and ideals, ideals which no doubt
had much to do with taking the part he
did in the fight for the anthracite miners
two years ago, when one reads what he
says about his father:
"A1l my life I have felt that Nature
had some grudge against my father. If
she had made him simple miller, con-

WHY WE TREMBLE.

The Nerve Actions superinduced by
 Cold, Fear and Anger.
 Cold, by stimulating the sensogy nerve endings in the skin, produces a corresponding irritation in the brain motor centers and by contracting the blood vessels in the skin produces a temporary excess of blood in the brain. This lnterferes with the steady flow of nerve force to the muscles. so that the spasmOdic action of these nerve cur rents produces the trembling due to cold.
 Of trembling from fear or anger Oar win gives this explanation: Men dur Ing long generations have cudeUvored to escape from their enemies by flight or violent struggling. These cause breathlessness and trembling of the muscles. Whenever fear is felt the same results tend to appear through the force of inheritance and association Just as furious rage leads persons to make violent attacks on the object of their resentment, so in milder eases, though no such attack may be made, the beginning of violent eXertion - namely, trembling of the muscles tends to show itself. But the chief cause of trembling from fear or anger Is, according to the same authority, the Interruption or disturbance of the transmission of nerve force from the cereOrO spinal system, due to mental agitation. Why or how these emotions affect the cerebro spinal system through the mind in this way Is not known

GOT AS GOOD AS HE GAVE.

 How PhIIanthropiyt Corcoran Was
 Answered by a Woman.
 The late W. W. Corcoran, the million. aire rhllanthroplst of Washington, who gave to the city the magnificent art gallery which bears his name, was very fond of telling how he was once overmatched by wealthy maiden l0- dy from whom he desired to purchase a piece of property.
 Mir. CorcOran was the owner of the Arlington hotel, at the corner of Yer mont avenue and II street. Adjoining the hotel property on the II street side was a handsome Brownstoue mansion, owned by the maiden lady, The lot upon which the house was built eX- tended back to l street, distance of four hundred feet, and abutted on the rear of the hotel property.
 MT. Corcoran found it necessary to enlarge the hotel property and with this end in view desired to purchase the rear end of the lot owned by the maiden lady. As she was very wealthy, he knew that a large price would not be any special inducement and for a time was at loss Co know exactly how to approach her, He final ly concluded to go straight to the point, and therefore addressed her the fol- lowing note:
 Dear Miss C.-How much will you take
 VNH. .r..n. aHn.s ar the Arlington hotel Yours sincerely.
 W. W. COECORAN. Promptly came the reply;
 Dear MT. Corcoran-How much will you take for the Arlington hotel? We wish to enlarge our back yard Yours cordially,

HELLO BILL COMING.

One of the most pleasing offer ings of the season at the opera house will take place on Tuesday evening, when Manager J. B. Doherty will again present to his patrons the funniest of modern farcial comedies, Hello Bill" which comes this year brighter, brisker and breezier than ever to please the lovers of all that is clean and attractive in modern comedy farce. The company is an extremely clever one and en- braces in it's ranks such well known and popular players as Arthur L. Cogliser, Charles Full heart, Lyle Ray, John Fernlock, Reginald Simpson, Robert Watt, Misses Carolyne Mclean, Alice Martin, Jessie Lansing, Ruth Stone and Kathryn Vincent. Miss Vincent is playing her third sea- son in the role of the pretty wid- ow, Mrs. Dare, for love of whom Bill makes his suppositious trip to the wars. Hello Bill" is no stranger in Newport, it's previous engagements having endeared it to the hearts of the comedy lov- ing people of the city, and one of the very best engagements of the season is looked for.

PASSENGER JUMPED
 TRACK AT PIEDMONT. No. IT Swung From Track at Sharp Curve, Every Coach
 Leaving Track.

South bound passenger train No. IF on the Iron Mountain, due here at 5:36 a. m., was wrecked at Piedmont, Mo-, Tues day morning, every car leaving the track and going down the embankment. No further in- formation is obtainable, but the wreck has doubtless cost many lives, as surgeons from every town in that section were imme- diately summoned to the scene.
 No. 17 runs on the old sched- ule of the Hot Springs train and does not stop here regularly. It usually consists of one coach and four or five sleepers. As the Pullmans are built in such man ner as to stand wrecks and col lisions the injured passenger list may possibly be small.

plications for further insurance by concealing the amounts al- ready carried, but said this was done upon the advice and knowl- edge of the state agent. MT. Cook had tried to get him to drop all his other policies and take out one for S10, 1000 in his company.
 On this point Judge Stuckey later introduced a circular from the New York Life Insurance Company using the Lightle death as an advertisement and relating how Dr. Lightle, after repeated efforts upon the part of the state agent, had been induced to take out the policy for $1O,O00.
 The cross-examination of MT. Brundidge was objected to on the part or the defense, who con- tended that the questions had been covered by MT. Andrews. A hot discussion ensued and Mr.. Stayton said, ''I am going to hold you down, Brother Brun- didge."
 eff you can," retorted the con- gressman.
 The defense brought out the fact that witness had never play ed cards for money but once and very rarely took drink.
 After being excused the wit ness was again recalled and ask ed by MT. Brundidge:
 :'Doctor, you remember being in the sheriff's office Saturday and telling a deputy sheriff and J. J. Baugh that you got the body from a negro and a white man. Was this true or false?"
 Tt was false,'' replied Dr.. Lightie.
 Did you put your collar on the body so that it would be identified as yours"'
 ''I did not. "
 Witness said that he advertised as an eye, ear and nose special ist, but was also a general prac. titioner.
 DEPENDANT ON STAND.
 At 2::35 the defendant was placed upon the stand. Told of being in St. Louis at time of Lightle exposure, his return tc Searcy and meeting with the Democratic central committee, all of whom were his personal and political friends. To these men he stated that rather than endanger the success of the ticket and injure the case of his lifetime friend, Dick Lightle, he would return the nomination as Democratic candidate for repre- sentative as clean as he had re- ceived it.
 His mother, little brother and three sisters were dependent upon him for support and this he had been able to give them, as his income was $3,O00 to $4,000 per year and probably the best law practice in White county.
 He entered a complete denial of participation in the Pitts grave robbery. / The first he knew of the affair was from the lips of Kay Deener, who came to his office and told him that Dick Lightle was alive. Deener said that he and Nicely were present at the burning of the barn and saw Lightle escape. Gregory had also gotten drunk and told of having furnished Lightle 8 body and that it was this corpse which was burned.
 Kay Deener wanted some o1 the insurance money and before leaving was told to send Gregory to the witness.
 Gregory had come to his office and asked Roberts as a persona.
