The Mabel Page Murder.

The most interesting pieces of testi-
mony yet offered by the prosecution in
the trial of Charles L. Tucker, charged
with the murder of Mabel Page at Cam
bridge, Mass, came yesterday when
Amy Roberts, servant in the Page
household, stated that scarfpin, which
had been found in the defendants over
coat pocket was the property Of Miss
Page and was in pincushion on the lat
ter's bureau on the day before the muir
der. The witness identified the pin b.
the design and two peculiar bends u the
shaft.
Miss Roberts further TESTIFIED that on
the day Tucker called 81 the Page house
to see Harold Page he also talked with
Mabel Page. This was the first .esti-
mony introduced tending to establish
that Ticker wasi acquainted with the
Gurdercd woman.
To questions intended TO strengthen
the governments theory that Miss Page
was murdered in a room on the first floor
aud her body dragged to her bedroom on
the second floor, Miss Roberts replied
that there were boodstains on the outer
panels of the doors leading from the hall
TO Miss Pages room. After the murder
she had noticed that rug in the upper
hall had been partially rolled up and
moved nearer the door of Miss Pages
bedroom.
Marked interest was aroused at the
afternoon session when Gen. Johanus
II. Whitney, of the district police, tod
of conversation he had with Tucker at
he Newton Police Station on the night
that the prisoner was placed under arrest.
General Whitney stated that after Tucker
had been confronted with the knife
sheath and the broken knife blade he
buried his face in bis hands and ssid /:
"By gee this knife makes bad case
against me-"

THUesnAY EVENING. JAN. p. 1905

SCARED By the leaking out OF their
scheme to prevent revision OF the tariff,
members of the Pennsylvania delegation
in the House shook in their shoes yester-
day. wondering whether or not their ac-
tiou would not bring down upon them
the wrath of the "man in the White
House" Members of the Pennsylvania
delecation-and the Ohio as well-ielt
sure that they had fixed things so that
their secret doings would not get out.
Consequently, they were the personllca-
ton of chagrin itself yesterday when they
discovered that the petition which they
had signed the day before pledging them
selves against an extra session and tariff
revision was known. There is a super
stition among politicians that he who
fights the President is very apt to be lett
home By his constituents when he comes
up for denomination. Naturally, there
fore. the Pennsylvanians WINGED at be-
ing put in the attitude of fighting their
Chief Executive. The nervousness
among members over being placedin the
attitude Of publicly opposing the Presi.
dent is indeed quiet general. 1t leaves
very little doubt thet if the President IS
really DESTROYS of revision he can have it
by standing his ground. Members talk
boldly against revision in private, but
when it comes to standing up publicly
and being counted among the opposition
thew see the matter in another light.

BETWEEN the President and the con-
trolling element in Congress there Is
now an open conflict tits one between
the public interests on the one side, and
the advocates of special privileges upon
the other; between desire for the public
good and the desire for personal benefit.
1t has had its first manifestation in the
differences OF opinion which have arisen
between the President and the congress
sional leaders over the questions of anti
rebate legislation and federal control OF
corporations engaged in interstate COM
merce. 1t is making itself apparent in
the discussion of tariff amendment, and
the necessity for an extra session OF the
next Congress. The fight seems 10 be
growing in intensity and the democrats
can hold aloof and watch it with interest,
knowing that they can not be hurt
whether the President or Congress wins.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion Of the ear. Thereis only
one way to cure deafness, and that is by con.
st;tutiOnal remedies. Deafness is caused by an

Eustachian Tube When this tube is insamed
you have rumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing, and when it is entirely closed, Deafness
is the result, and unless the inflammation
can be taken out and this tube restored TO its
