New theories we may evolve,

in SPEARS HANDWRITING.
MRS. Chadwick HAD $4,000 In the
Oberlin hank but BOokkeeper
DIden't Know.

Cleveland, O., March s.--Nine wit
nesses were examined in the Chad
wick trial yesterday, and the defense
established the fact that the claim Of
the government that Mrs. Chadwick
had no money In the 0berlin bank at
the time OF drawing checks which
were certified by Spear and Beckwith,
was incorrect In two instances at
least, It was shown by the general
journal Of the bank that on November
3, 1908, when Mrs. Chadwick received
certified check for $4,000, an entry
crediting her with that amount was
made on the Journal of the bank. and
deposit slip for $4,000 was made
out in her name. The entry and the
slip were in the hanwriting Of Cashier
Spear. Another entry of a similar
nature amounting to 5000 was also
found, II Is doubtful II Andrew Car
negie win take the stand. District
Attorney Sullivan said: 1T Is not
my present intention to put Mr.. caf-
negie on the stand, and do not think
that he will be called upon to testify
unless his evidence should be needed
in rebuttal Of something introduced
by the defense"
Horace G. Waite, bookkeeper Of the
oberlin bank, testified that the entry
giving credit TO Mrs. Chadwick for
$4,000 was in the handwriting, Of
Cashier Spear, and that the deposit
slip for the amount was also IN
Spears handwriting. Robert Lyons,
receiver Of the Citizens national bank
OF oberiin, said that the books did
not show that any account had ever
existed by which Mrs. Chadwick could
draw checks on the bank.

CUBANS PITY AMERICANS.

Honest" said Cuban doing business
in lower Broadway banking house, to
New York Sun reporter, ''our people
in Havana have quite as much sympathy
with the people of New York on account
of the ravages Of pneumonia here as you
have for us on account of yellow fever.
Even when we had the fever all about
us, before the wonderful sanitary i'm
provements made 1t all but forgotten

Workers managed to live in such cli-
mate and with the deadly pneumonia.

low fever than with pneumonia.
''0f course, the fever with us was
something mighty hard on foreigners

some position in Havana, who often met
prominent Americans at receptions and
other functions and always looked them
over carefully, from toes to head, actu-
ally as II sizing them up to see what size
Of coffin they would need, for Americans

undertaken used to be called upon very
often, too, to do his melancholy work for
those whom only few days or weeks
before he had grasped by the hand.
Americans did not understand the cli-
mate and took no care to accommodate
themselves to 1t. At least that was the
case 20 years ago or so. Later on they
became more cautious. and now, well, !
don't believe there's an intelligent Cuban
but feels very much the same about
pneumonia as you New Workers. do about
yellow fever. Often you will hear friends

Nearly 80 years ago Dr. Daniel Kun

missionary board Of the church, was
in west Africa on mission work.
While visiting Congregational mis-
slonary announcement was made that
a male child had been born In the ne

christened the baby Daniel Flickinger
Wllberforce. Twelve years later the
boy had been brought to America by

New Castle. July 5.-July 4 in New
Castle was appropriately celebrated by
young America and his elder broth
ers and viii go down in history as one
Of the most orderly Of Independence
Days that has been known in the city.
There was no public demonstration
nor any private display Of fireworks to
any extent but firecrackers, toy pis-
tolls and dynamite caps were numerous
and for twenty-four hours their re-
ports could be heard in every section.
In the celebration the trolley cars
were made 70 take an active part, as
nearly an day the rails from Sixth and
Delaware streets TO Second and Har-
mony streets were sprinkled with dy-
Mantle caps which, as the wheels Of
the cars passed over them. exploded
with a noise resembling the crack Of
rifles along a sldrmish line. ln some
instances fifty Of the caps were placed
in a heap and their explosion Jared
the occupants OF the trolleys. BY 3
o'clock last night there was not a. dy-
Mantle cap IN the city
no DISORDER OCCURRED.
Although there were many people In
the city, all OF whom seemed 20 have
money to burn there was no disor-
der at any time and the police had but
little work TO do beyond their ordinary
line Of duty. In the morning word
was received at the mayors Office that
a negro was firing a loaded revolver
near the F.. B. a. w. depot, but when
Oficer Harrington arrived at the scene
the man had departed and no arrests
We're made In fact there was no
cause for arrest during the entire night
or day. Strange TO say also there was
no accident of any description as the
result of fireworks.
