Trial of Andrews Brothers.


 Telegrams from Camden tonight to The Advertiser Bureau conceys the in- formation that the jury which has been out on the case of John Andrews for the past twenty-four hours has not yet rendered a verdict. The trial against John Andrews for the murder of his father was given to the jury Wednesday evening. The telegram states that the information is given out in Camden that the jury stands eleven for hanging and one for life imprison- ment. Bob Andrews is also on trial for the same offense and the same evil dence is being introduced in his case as in that of his brother. The best of legal talent is employed in the case and both sides are stubbornly contest ing every inch of ground.
 The two Andrew boys are charged with the murder of Jim Andrews, their father, and their step-mother which occurred just on the line between Will COX and Monroe Counties in February. The story of the crime is still remem bered. Their father, Jim Andrews, who was very illiterate, was a well known character in that section. The story goes that without securing divorce he married three women. The first he quit for another who had a daughter. He lived with the second wife until the daughter reached the age of IT, when he also quit her and married the young girl. The old man had some property and about a month after he married the girl he decided to deed 1t to her. The boys wanted the property them selves and to keep their father from giving 1t away they laid around his house one night with the intention of killing his girl wife, but In the fight that ensued they killed their father as well as his wife.
 | The murder at the time caused con- siderable excitement in Wilcox County and there were threats of mob violence but the two boys were safely landed in the jail at Camden and are being tried this week for the murder. The | jury in the John Andrews case will probably bring in a verdict tomorrow.

Chief wier's Paper,

The paper that has been prepared by Chief of Police Wier, and which will be read by him at the convention of the National Association Of CnieIs of Police, which will convene at Wash- ington next Monday morning contains many interesting suggestions in regard to the managing of police depart ment.
 He touches very fully in his manu- script on the great need of employing men of honesty and integrity as po- licemen and to instill in the minds or the patrolmen that they can arrest but not oppress citizens. The elevation or morals possessed by members of the police .orce would be a medium for good throughout the city and persons coming in contact with such men would be influenced by their good nor als and less evil and violation of the law would ensue, argues the chief.
 The paper contains many thoughts along this line which are frank and to the point.
 Chief wier and his wife will leave tomorrow morning for Washington. The chief anticipates nothing but pleasure on this trip. After the ad- journment of the convention Chief Wier will make a short visit to New York and will return to the city next Saturday night.

art treasures in the public galleries and

part of the artistic wealth Of France. 1t Is
estimated that II brought under the hammer
the pictures, tapestries. statues, carvings
and other works of art would realize the
fabulous sum of six millions Of francs.

Avoiding rheumatism.
From the Baltimore Sun.

from tne bdlUmo4e cun
According to the Medical Record, the way
to get rid Of uric acid the accumulation Of
which in the body causes rheumatism, is
to maintain the alkalinity of the blood.
One cause Of diminished alkalinity Is high
nutrition"-excessive eating-but not much
is to be gained by excessive reduction Of
the amount Of food taken. A happy mean
Is to be, maintained. as regards the guam
tity OF food consumed. between too much
and too little. People who underfeed them
selves usually have subnormal tempera-
ture, defective circulation and deficient
blood color. and are very susceptible to
bacterial infections. Warm clothing and
avoidance of needless exposure to cold are
required OF one who wishes to prevent the
accumulation OF uric acid. A nice balance
of mental and physical labor is also pre-
scribed. The injunction to abstain from
fruit when out of seas0n-from October to
,Aprtl-is a hard saying. Eating freely OF
potatoes. especially In cold weather. Is rec
commended by Alexander Haig. whose opin-
lon has weight. Only In very warm weather.
he says may fruit be taken safely to any
large extent. Some emphasis II laid on se-
curing proper distribution OF time be-
tween bodily and mental exertion. Above
all. says DR.. Haig. one must dispense with
dependence on t0nics. stfmuiants and brac-
ing climates. The result will be q better
balance OF mind and body. and q more
healthy. natural and useful existence than
has bean Gensrally experienced either by

I'M DEATH NOT FORGOTTEN.
Tributes to Memory Of Types Of
Fidelity,

The probabilities are that not many folks
in the grand aggregate OF the population
of Washington know Of the fact that in the
outrageous pines in a part Of the suburbs.
near where a winding path merges Into a
well-known road, there Is a triangular lot
that to some folks is hallowed as the last
resting place of canine members of their
respective families.
It is a dogs burying ground. and within
the Enclosure formed by eight-foot planks
favorite Trays, Blanches and Sweethearts
are sleeping away in their eternal slumbers.
Amid the dismal weeds within the cemetery
lot there are sixteen or eighteen mounds,
over nearly all OF which are white printed
board markers, and some few. three or four
at least boast marble headstones the size
of ordinary tombstones.
Tears have been shed in this humble place
by afflicted owners OF dogs that have de-
parted forever from earthly scenes and
pleasures. One OF the latest graves bears
at the head Of it wooden marker. upon
which is inscribed, 'Chef. my St. Bernard.
Faithful and devoted. 1s96-1905. Owned by
Miss -"
Another tomb that attracts some atten-
ton Is that Of "Bosco Bonine,' also with an
inscription testifying to his goodness, and
there are Others whose memories and beau
ties combined and made public bring solace
to afflicted souls.
The cemetery man Is a very Pooh Bah
of officials in his gruesome calling. He is
the undertaken. the grave digger. the pail
bearer and hearse driver all combined. and
has witnessed copious tears shed as cIods
of earth fell from his shovel upon the dead

said to a Star reporter:
Il saw him curled up In his grave the
way he used to sleep. all wrapped up in a
fresh sheet. and as tenderly cared for as a
human body would be-"
Chef evidently deserved Christian bur-
ial. for he was pure st. Bernard from the
Logan kennels and was a brave OF fighting
stock. One Of his red-Ietter days was
Christmas. when he always had his Christ
mas tree decorated with candy, rings, ap-
pies and cookies.
"All good dogs should have their memo
ries kept greeh," said the owner of one of
the dogs in this graveyard. and referred to
the beautiful epitaph Lord Byron inscribed
on the monument OF his dog. which reads
Near this spot are deposited the remains
Of one who possessed beauty without van

without ferocity and all the virtues OF
man without his vices. This praise,
which would be unmeaning flattery IL In

For the widening OF PiccadIliy the Lon

agreed upon to be paid for 1t Is s4lO00.
This works out at E34 3s. i'd. square foot
or the enormous sum of Fl. 4ss. 800 per acre.
1t probably constitutes a record. but as

the prices recently paid for sites in the city.
