Eine Electrical Machine.

DR.. J. Fred Hill has installed one of
the latest patterns of the Kinraide coil
electrical machine with the FinSen
light and N-ray attachments. The Fin
sen light is perhaps the most interest
ing part of the machine. as ii is the
first one that has been seen in the city.
The machine also throws off the violet
light that is now being used in the
treatment of cancer and skin diseases,
some of the latter having been hitherto
considered incurable. DIR. Hill will use
this light in his practice in the treat
ment of the diseases for which it is
adapted and is expecting gerat results
from 1t.
The N-ray attachment is unusually
powerful. being of the very latest pat
tern. The model of the machine has
been on the market only about a year
and this one is probably among the
first to come into this section of New
England. 1t is a development of the
system discovered in Copenhagen and
is a great improvement over that while
being much more economical.

DEFENCE RESTS
In Postal Trials Now in Ses-
sion at Washington.
4. W. Machen Concludes Testimony
at Thursdays Session.
Arguments by Counsel Will Be MADE
Sometime, Today.

WASHINGTON, Feo. 11.-When the pos
tai trial vas resumed, today. August
W. Machen was still under cross
examination. Mr.. Conrad, for the gov
eminent, offered in evidence letters
from the Boston and Cleveland post
masters, objecting to the Croft fasten-
ers which he said were not Introduces
for the purpose Of attacking the utli-
ty of the fastener but az showing undue
activity by Machen in forcing the de-
vice on cities where they were not
wanted. The first general introduc-
ton Of rural free delivery boxes. Ma
chen said, was in Carroll county.
Maryland. As 1t was the first complete
extension of the system. he said, he
assumed personal supervision Of the
work, Th. boxes were necessary TO
make the system perfect. Previously
be said. cigar boxes. bird cages and
even old obots had been hunk up for
mail.
Eeplying to Mr.. Conrad. Machen
said that when Lorenz spoke to him
on the yachting trip regarding the
fastener, he as a postal official had al
ready satisfied himself as to its merits
In answer to another question. Machen
said that he did not upon that occasion
as Lorenz' personal friend give him
any suggestion or advice about the
fastener Until the indictment was
found, Machen said. he did not even
know the cost of manufacturing the
fastener.
The defendant was called upon to identi-
fy his initials and signatures to certain
approvals OF certain rtsl,istiOns for fd9-
teners. He was shown several duplicate
bills for fasteners bearing the same date
but said he was certain they were moi
paid for twice. He could not account foI
it except that the bills were rendered ir
duplicate. He was asked and answered
questions freely about his official acts but
refused to enter At any length into his
private affairs.
A recess at this point was taken ard
for the first time during the trial Ma
chen's wife gave way to her feelings Sh.
had followed her husbands testimony
carefully and when he loft the stand sh"
with tears streaming down her cheeks
embraced and kissed him. With his arm
around her. Machen escorted his wifi
from the room.
Following the recess Machen was per
mittesl to make further explanation OF
the oil business, and produced a book
from which he gave certain statistic
from the Pluto OIL Co.
Mr.. Conrad then announced that tn,
croes-examination was closed.
On redirect examination Mr.. Douglnas
offered the book in evidence. This led t.
Il spirited argument during which it va.
brought out that Mr. Lrrenz had fount
the book last night. The argument was
cut short by IN agreement that Mr.. Lo
reRz should be cross-examlncd regarding
II.
Counsel for the dcfenc" then announced
that II rested It's case. reserving the rIgh,

ENGAGEMENT CLOSED.
Oregon Medicine Company Meets With

The Oregon Medicine Company or

and went 10 Newport. yesterday. The
company was booked for a week and
opened, Monday evening. to Il very good
audience. ON Tuesday evening, how
ever. there We're less than 20 peopl" in
the hail. alld on "Wednesday evening
rot enough to warrant the raising of
the curtain. The performance was not
given, the company s"' king pasture,
How the next day.
The company WAS an enlarged ana

boro and has been visiting the smaller
towns Of the STATE and doing !; good
business. Regular rep prices We're
charged ara the show given was fairly
good. although nowhere near what the
people have been getting here for the
same money.
During the performance Il lecture on
the value Of the remedies carried was
delivered, lasting from Is to 20 min
utcS, and the medicines sold 10 who
ever cared to purchase. This was evil
drntly the feature that "queered" the
show here and the people evidently
would not stand for it after paying
good money for admission. So the visit
came to rather an untimely end. The
program. somewhat reduced. was car
ried out, Tuesday evening, the remark
ably small audience being laid to the
weather, but this cause did not hold
good for Wednesday night. SO that was
made the end Of the engagement.

A favorite passtime when business
gets dull these days is to start some
wild story about japanese successes in
her war with Russia. One was started
yesterday, that the Japs had captured
St Petersburg and those who originat-
ed it had great sport in seeing how
many they could make believe it. 1t
was d fairly good test on ones knowI-
edge of conditions in the Far East.
