VERDICT MANSLAUGHTER.
Result of the Easton Kline
Murder Trial in Cumberland.

MurQ6r Ir1al III OumO0rldQQ.
The jury in the case of Frederick
EastOn, of HagerstOwn, charged
with the murder of Lorenzo Kline,
and on trial in Cumberland, after
being out nearly "a hours, Sunday
afternoon at 2.30 O'Clock rendered
a verdict of equity of manslaugh.
ter" and recommended the priso-
ner to the mercy of the court.
Judge Henderson received the
verdict.
Easton took the announcement
calmly, although he had expected
an acquittal. On leaving the
courthouse he almost broke down
under the great strain and would
have fallen down the stairway had
he not been supported. His little
son was with him when the yer
dict was announced.
On the first ballot the jury stood
six for acquittal. four for man
slaghter, one for murder in the
second degree and one for murder
in the first degree. 1t is thought
the first degree vote was simply a
feeler, and there was no further
voting for first degree verdict.
On the seventh ballot four voted
for murder in the second degree.
Previous to the last ballot one
stood for not guilty and IL for
manslaughter.
The jury balloted on the ques-
tion of recommending mercy, 10
voting in favor of it, while one
was against, and the twelfth man
voted not guilty, claiming there.
fore no recommendation was need
ed. All of the prisoners counsel
were present. Public opinion
seemed to favor an acquittal.
The maximum penalty for man
slaughter is 10 years, while the
lowest is a fine or Jail sentance.
At the Jail Easton broke down
and wept bitterly. He was able
later to talk nationally. He said
he expected an acquittal. He
consulted at the Jail with Attor
neys Wagaman and Hartle, who
are not satisfied with the verdict.
1t is said they have new evidence,
but is not thought EastOn will ask
for a new trial.
Frederick Easton will be re-
mem bered here, he having been
ID the lightning rod business for
quite while. 1t was shortly
after his return to Hagerstown
from Frederick that he killed
Kline.

Housekeeping Requir e S
Brains.
Written for the Citizen. ,

w Ilttcn lOT tue OlllZeu.
A reader of the CITIZEN asks
the question if it really requires
brains just as in any other bust
ness to keep house and do house
work. She says she has seen
some servants quite lacking in
brains, yet they did their work
every day in a perfectly Satisfsc
tory way. Notwithstanding this
fact my sister housekeepers. |
think it requires brains to plan
the work with view of tighten
ing the labor of the hands by
laying it out systematically, and
it is science well worth studying.
Most of US housewives lack
business methods and housekeep.
ing demands the cooperation of
the head and the hands. We
need to use method and to plan
our work, then go about it delib-
erately and refectively. You say
what worries you most in house.
keeping, is the lack of time, that
you never get through, yet you
work day in aud day out and
never have any time for rest and
recreation. This is subject that
requires reflection and intelli.
gent thought. Study to have
leisure, even if you have to leave
some things undone, would be
my advice, for pretty soon you
will break down at this speed.
Study also to save yourself
Never stand to wash dishes, pre-.
pare your vegetables or knead
your bread. Have an easy chair
near your work table and sit in
it and rest your feet while doing
these duties. Make a suds of
soft water aud pearline and put
in each cooking vessel that you
have used and set them on the
stove to simmer awhile and then
the cleaning of them will be no
trouble. Study to save yourself
in a dozen different ways.

THAT GROWING DEFICIT.

January added more than $4,000, O0C
to the deficit for the current fiscal
year. says the Philadelphia Record.
Of course, that paper goes on to say,
the treasury officials express conf
dence that this will be wiped out be-
fore June 80. They always do. There
is no doubt that the deficit will be
decreased during the latter part of the
fiscal year; that is the usual thing
But the last five months cannot wipe
out the deficit of SIS. 500 307 in the first
seven unless expenditures shall be de-
ferred until the next fiscal year, which
would merely change the date of the
deficit.
MIR. Lift etield, Republican, said
three or four days ago that at the
present rate of appropriation the de.
felt for the next fiscal year would fall
any if little below the estimates. Conn
pairing the appropriation bills as they
stand with the appropriations for the
current year he said that against ag-
gregate decreases of twelve and "a half
millions, there were increases of
eleven millions, making net cut of
only million and half. "This seems
to me-" he said frankly, to display Il
very unsatisfactory financial situation.
We must do one or two things, and
do it at once-either reduce these ap-
preparations or increase our revenue."
The Boston Transcript Republican,
discusses the pending naval bill, even
with about sixteen millions that See
rotary Morton asked for cut out, under
the caption, The Monstrous Naval
Budget" The Republicans dare not
impose new taxes, and they cannon
adequately reduce appropriations
They have legislated the country into
deficit, where it will stay until heroic
measures shall be taken. The admin
istration party shows no capacity for
such measures. especially as the Presi-
dent is pushing for large military and
naval expenditures.

THE Japs have the Russians on the
run again. 1t seems that opposed by a
foe worthy of their steel, The soldiers Of
the Gar are helpless, but when it
comes to shooting down unarmed
throngs in the streets of Moscow and
st. Petersburg, they are perfectly ire
sistible. Since Sunday, the 22nd, when
the st. Petersburg catastrophe occurred,
there has been return to general con-
ditiOns, although feeling of unrest
and dissatisfaction is growing among
the people. Several times the police
aud soldiers have been called upon to
fire upon small mobs and meetings of
strikers, with many fatalities. With
war at home and abroad, the Cars
government is certainly up against it.

Gasoline as a Cleanser.

Aside from its use as a burning
fluid gasoline is invaluable to
the dainty woman ON account of
its cleansing qualities, as nearly
every article of wearing apparel
can be cleaned with the fluid and
without any injury to the fabric.
Gasoline is much better clean,
ing agent than water for fine
wool goods, such as cashmeres
and tiannelS. aud goods cleansed
in this way require no ironing,
and the garment can be hung in
;he air a few minutes, and there
remains no Odor, but the work
should never be done in room
where there is fire or light.
The gasoline is good for remov-
ing grease spots from any kinds
OF WOODEN goods, and does not
change the color, but the fabric
should be cleaned with a piece of
the same goods, and the cloth
rubbed with the weave and the
rubbing should be continued until
the material is perfectly dry.
There is nothing better than the
gasoline for cleaning felt hats of
any color. First take off the
trimming and crush the hat thor.
oughly the way of the nap, then
take piece of cloth, dip it into
gasoline and rub it in we'll, being
careful to keep the nap smooth.
Put the hat in safe place where
no dust can reach it, and when
perfectly dry it is ready to be
retrimmed. Gloves, lace, rib.
bOns and even furs may thus be
cleaned and this cleaning is so
easy to do and so quickly done
that it is a blessing to the eco
nOmical woman. The best way
to clean the gloves is to wash
them on the hands in the fluid
aud ribbons and laces are cleaned
by immersing them in the gaso-
line for time, being careful tn
rub the most soiled spots with
the fingers. Silk and wooden
waists and cloth dress skirts may
be cleaned perfectly with the
gasoline, but if a waist or skirt
is very soiled it should be washed
in warm suds to which a small
cup of gasoline has been added,
A black wooden dress skirt that
was not sufficiently freshened by
cleaning in this way was re
colored jet black by dipping
the garment in black Diamond
dye for wool after it was care.

For dress waist about one gallon
of gasoline will be required fol
the washing and rInsing and
after the garment has been cleaned
it should be hung in the oper
air until the odor has evaporated,

WILL JUSTICE TRIUMPH ?

We confess to be truly skeptical about
the great interest the Pres dent shows
in the abolition of railroad rebates and
the adjustment of rates He may real
lie the need of it, but will he press the
matter and fight TO the death the pow
erful interests arrayed against it? That
is the question that concerns the people
of this country.
A few days ago the Supreme Court
decided a vital question against the
notorious Beef Trust, in which they
had clearly violated the law as inter-
preted by judge of the United States
Court
The President has requested the prop
er authorities to bring certain of the
heads of the combine to the bar of JUS
tice and to mete out to them the pun
isbment provided by the law. 1t is
said that much incriminsting evidence
has been obtained against individual
members of the Trust, but the most
essential point is, will they or any one
Of them ever be convicted?
Several years ago, when the fate of
many Congressional candidates was
hanging in the balance, the President,
recently exalted by the death of Will
lam Mckinley, made tour of certain
States, advocating in thunderous tones
q reduction of the tariff, somewhat in
accordance with the Iowa Idea" and
similar demands from other sections
This adroit move stayed the popular
clamor, in the fancied security of the
Presidents determined action, and re-
suited in Republican majority. After
that the tariff revision idea went to
sleep, as far as the President and Con.
gress went.
So, 1t isn't unreasonable to let prece-
nent guide us ia cur estimate of people
aud things for the future. 1t seems
these days, that certain politicians, and
the President is no, the least of them
by any means, can fool the people all
the time. They ask for bread and are
given . stone. But the day will come
when thay will rise in their full mai
esty and demand their rights. That
time Is not far distant, in our opinion,
and the sooner the better.
