She Remained a Bird.

Mrs. Elizabeth Martin started early
in life to feather her nest well. and has
always had her eye on the main
chance. She began life as Elizabeth
Bird, of Harrison county, near Paris,
Ky. Her first venture outside of the
home nest was when she married Bud
Martin. When Mr. Martin died she
married Edward Crow, a farmer.
When the time came TO change nests
she allied herself with VIM. Robin and
lived happy until the matrimonial sea-
son for Mrs. Robin again rolled around.
Then David Buzzard, widower, more
attractive personally and socially than
his name would indicate, appeared,
and Mrs. Robin became Mrs. Buzzard.

TRACING COURSE
OF THE BULLET
Human Skeleton Again in
Evidence During Trial
of Miss Nan" Patterson
EXPERT ON THE STAND
O'HanlOn's Testimony Indi-
Gates That Young's Wound
Was Not Self-Infiicted

NEW YORK, Dec. PA headless
human skeleton played an important
part to-day in the trial of Nan" Pat
, terson. for the murder of Caesar Young
The exhibit was used in the examina-
ton of Dr. Philip O'Hanlon, the Cor
oners physician, who performed the
autopsy on Young's body. The prose-
killed Young had gone straight to the
spine, which proved that Young did not
kill himself.
Assuming that Young, with the pistol
in his right hand, had crossed it over
his chest and shot into his left side. the
prosecution contended that the bullet
would have Travelled to the left The
fact that it flew straight inward to the
spine was advanced as proving that the
wound was not self-inhicted. DR..
O'Hanlon was positive that the bullet
had taken a straight course to the
right.
Lawyer Levy, for the defense. tried
to gain an admission that the muscular
parts covering the ribs at the point Of
entrance of the bullet may have de-
sfiected it's course. but DR.. O'Hanlon de-
clared that there had been no DETECTION
until the bullet had struck the spine.
DR.. O'Hanlon testified that he had
found powder marks on Young's fin
gers. His testimony as to the course
of the bullet was corroborated by DR..
Rigims of the Hudson-street Hospital.
Justice Davis said from the bench to-
day that a gross improperly had been
committed by newspaper in publish
ing what purported to be the views OF
the wives of the jurors concerning the
case. He cautioned the jurors not to
discuss the testimony. even in their
own families

Investigation of His Accounts Shows
Only Slight Shortage, Which Is
Paid Under Protest.

The allegation made some time ago
of a shortage in the financial account
Of J. B. Bellies, secretary of the Bar
bers' Union. was declared not proved
by the late investigation made by ]. j.
Calish and e. Wallace, appointed by
the president of the BARRIERS Union
to investigate. These two, with paid
expert, went over the secretary's ac-
counts. After careful examination a
discrepancy of only S2S SO had been
found. OF this amount 1t is probable
that even this discrepancy can be ac-
counted for. This amount was paid to
the union under protest.

WARSHIPS AT PORT ARTHUR
NO LONGER MENACE JAPAN
Time Of Boxer Rising
in China Draw
ing Near.

HONG KONG. Dec 12-The cor
respondent Of the Chicago Daily News
to-day cabled as follows to that paper:
According to leading capitalist Of
the China coast, who has financed
many. efforts. 10 run the blockade TO
Port Arthur, il has been ascertained
that the fortress is well provisioned
and, unless carried by, assault, can hold
ont for three months. he estimates
the garrison at IL. 900 men. The main
shortage. he says, is n biggua erI-
munition. but there is enough of ali
kinds to last for some time.
Steamships Of all kinds are in much
demand on the China coast. They are
being bought by both belligerents for
hospital ships, transports and golfers.
1t is believed in Shanghai shipping
circles that the Baltic fleet VIII make
its base in the PescadoTes Islands the
only waTship anchorage near Formosa.
/ am informed on excellent authority
that the warships VIII be able to break
their way through the ice 10 VladivO-
stok if the fall Of Port Arthur should
take place before the arrival OF the
feet.
Rumcrs Of impending Boxer troubles
are pret~lent Throughout North China.
Information from several sources
points to the fact that the Chinese are
drilling everywhere and that the con-
ditions are similar to those that pre-
ceded the last outbreak, but that the
trouble is more widespread and the
organization much better. It is be-
lieved that large numbers of Japanese
officers are drilling troops in the in
terror and commanding detachments Of
General Mas army northwest of
Peking and that a Japanese reverse
would be the signal for a general rising
Of the Chinese. led by Japanese Off
GERS, against Russia. Many residents
here fear that such an outbreak could
not be confined TO its original limits
and would endanger foreigners
throughout China.
These reports have been in circula-
tiOn since August and are now preva-
lent everywhere. I was informed by
an old Shanghai resident. who is thor
oughly familiar with the conditions.
that minute preparations have been
completed for attacks on leading Euro
pean settlements in the event Of anoth-
ct rebellion 1 was unable to verify
this. but 1 suspect il is partially true.

CANNOT MAKE LANDING
ON F'ARALLON ISLANDS
Uncle Sam's Sailors VainIy Attempt
to Establish Wireless TeIegDaph
Station as Commanded.


The United States navy, which
found it an easy task to lay low Ger
vera and Montijo. is meeting defeat in
its attempt TO install wireless tele-
graph apparatus on the Farallon
Islands. Four times within the last
few days Uncle Sans sailors have
gone out into the ocean to establish
the station, in accordance with or
ders from Washington. and on each
occasion they returned without ac-
cOmplishing their mission.
The Unadilla was selected for the
work yesterday. and four men were
finally landed. 1t was not men, but
apparatus. that the Navy Department
most wished TO set on the rocky ISL
ands. and there was consequently
much disappointment at Mare Island
last evening when it was learned
that the last trip had been practically
fruitless.
The ocean Is so rough and the
shore is so precipitous that landing
can hardly be made with safety. The
Washington authorities, however, do
not want excuses instead Of a WIRE
less station. so the navy-yard people
will persist IN their attempts to full
I'LL orders. Another attempt to land
the apparatus will be made to-day.
