Severe Is the Tension
In Nan Patterson Trial
Week Has Brought Forth Some Surprising
Sensations-ACtress Has One Trying Mo-
ment and Nearly ColIapses.

NEW YORK, April 29.-The week has
been more dramatic. more sensational
than any one had expected in the Nan
Patterson trial. The tension has been
greater than at either Of the other two
trials and the testimony has been more
startling and good deal Of it totally
unlocked for.
For the center of interest-the chorus
girl whose life is in the balance-the
week has been one OF ups and downs,
and she has plainly shown each shift OF
the seesaw of its progress in her attf-
tude and in the expression Of her face.
She came into court on Monday morn
ing and faced the jury with a confident
look on her rather dull and naturally
expressionIess face. she had been urged
by her lawyers and friends TO the be-
lief that her third trial was going 10
be a triumphant march to acquittal So
she sat indifferentiy through the first
part OF Prosecutor Rand's opening ad-
dress, listening TO the shameful story
which she had heard unfolded twice be-
fe9e in court without any visible emo
ton.
Rand's Speech to jury.
Rand told the jury the sort of case
he would present; then, after telling OF
the dead racing man and bookmaker
and his haii-fellow- well-met character,
he came TO the girl whose past life he
arraigned scathingly before the jury,
dwelling on her first meeting with Young
in California, in the fall of 1902, of their
good times" together, and of how the
bookmaker's 5 wife and his partner, John
D. Millin tried to separate them, and
finding them in a Turkish bath IN Los
Angeles, finally succeeded in getting
Young to send the girl to New York,
Then he told of her return of her fu-
turc meetings with Young. until finally
he returned TO live with his wife in a
cottage at Sheepshead Bay, in April OF
1891 and planend 10 - to Europe again
after q complete reconciliation.
This was the first note OF the motif
that went through Rand's entire case
the fact that Nan Patterson was q wo-
man sccTned.
But she had heard all this before
and she did not know Of the new evi-
dence which the district attorney would
bring forth 10 show how far Young had
scorned her, so she sat with a dull
listnessess until Rand had told the
story Of Young's last night. when she
had met him 20 say good-by and of the
next morlng, which saw his death while
on the way to the pier 10 meet his wife

NOVEL USE FOR APR.

 Tn the rebuilding of the King of korea's palace, which was recently de stroyed by fire, papier mache will be solely employed. To obtain sufficient quantity for the purpose there has been engaged a staff of 1000 Koreans possessed of strong teeth for chew ing up paper.
 At Savinorosko, in Russia, is paper house, says the London Tit-Bits. IL has been entirely built of blocks of papier nache. even the foundations and roof being made from that mate rial. So, too, are the chimneys, al though ths paper used in their con struction was first mingled with fire proof material. The house, which is of considerable extent, will. in the opin- ion of it's architect. outlast such as are built of stone and brick. and will cost over tS,0oo.
 In certain towns of Russia, too. the experiment is now being made of utilizing paper for paving the roads and streets. In this case also blocks compressed to great solidity are en- ployed, and are said to stand excel lently the wear and tear of traffic. The cost, however. is at present too great to permit anything like their universal adoption. For courtyards of mansions and similar purposes where
 ha nr par.ah <. eration, paper pavement, 1t Is averred, will soon come into vogue.
 Out of the sheets of an Australian daily paper an ingenious Yiennese en- gineer has lately constructed for his own use a small yacht, fifteen feet long, decked all over and provided with a centerboard. In the making of the hull. deck. masts. sails and rudder several thousand copies of the journal were used-each plank requiring no fewer than 2.500 leaves-and enormous pressure had to be employed before the necessary solidity could be ob- tained. The inventor has already made several excursions on the Woerth See, and even in squally weather his boat is said to have behaved admirably.
 The late Henry Krupp completed, a few months before his death, num- Der of paper field pieces.

 Germany. too. can boast itself the pioneer in dental novelty, viz. in paper teeth, which are constructed from paper pulp instead of from the porcelain or other material usually em- ployed They are said to have given satisfaction to such as have ventured on their use. for not only do they keep their color well. but. not being brittle. are much less liable to chip than the ordinary false teeth. They are like wise guaranteed to be very durable.

 Splenlid Results.

Splenlid Results.
 Consul General Evans prints in the Consular Reports, says the New 10. k World. some astonishing facts about the London police force in 1903.
 The metropolitan district extends over a radius of fifteen miles from Charing Cross exclusive of the oll city of London, which B about one mile square,, and embraces GSS.3l square miles. The number of police available was twenty-five superintend- ents, 474 inspectors. l,So6 sergeants and 12,225 constables (parolnen); total. 14,620. The pay of the force amounts | to s7,110,G3S.
 That is an average of only SiST per year a man on all grades. Probation CTS get S3.S4 week, patrolmen S5.4S a week, rising to SI.79.
 But these ill-pad men get results" The number of persons arrestel In 1903 was 124.554, of whom 3,322 were convicted by the law courts and 9S,5S3 by magistrates There were GS4 cases of acquiual, bills ignored by sessions, etc, and 21,SS7 were discharged by magistrates Only one arrested pris- oner in five escaped unpunished. Most remarkable of all is the mur- der record. In 1903 only seventeen murders were committed, as compared with twenty in 1902. Nine persons were arrested in eight of these cases; in the remaining nine the murderers committed suicide. The number of cases of manslaughter was twenty two.
 The way London policemen handle traffic is a wonder. Yet they cannot even arrest a disobedient driver. Says Mir. Evans: When it Is necessary to discipline any one of the thousands of licensed omnibus drivers or conduc- tors. hanson or hackney drivers, or others. they are notified to appear at court. They appear, otherwise the license may be withdrawn, and If once withdrawn it is hard to get another. It is to the interest of the London po- lIceman to do his duty, his whole duty, courteously, kindly, but firmly. In this the courts sustain the force. The result Is a splendid street dscipl.n ne, with far-reaching effects in the way of respect for the law"
