SPRIGGS CONVICTED
Negro Accused of White Slave
 Traffic Guilty.
MAY GET TWENTY YEARS IN PRISON
Accused Took the Stand In Own De- fense, but Did Not Improve His Ca1e-One Woman Held For
 Three Years.

1 Case-One Woman Held For Three Years.
 NEW YORK, March 23-Robert H.
 Spriggs, the negro accused of abduction,
 was found guilty in the notorious white
 slave case on trial. in general sessions
 here. The jury was out less than eight
 minutes, and the crowd in the court
 room was on the point of cheering l when warning order of silence was given. @ Judge Cowing remanded Spriggs to
 next Tuesday, when sentence will be 1 pronounced. The maximum sentence for the second offense is twenty years. | Sallie Bennett, one of Spriggs' ac- complices, who was indicted for ab- I ducting Alice Harris and keeping her r in one of Spriggs' dives, few doors from the Tenderloin police station, pleaded guilty to a first offense. She l also was remanded for sentence on Tuesday.
 There was no surprise at the verdict, ! the evidence against Spriggs being
 overwhelming. He himself had aided
 the prosecution by taking the witness
 stand in his own behalf.
 i It Is said that Spriggs will be sen
 tenced to twenty years in states pris-
 on on the conviction. He was indicted for a second offense, so the maximum
 penalty must be imposed, as the law
 does not permit the court to exercise any discretion.
 Spriggs is yet to be tried on charges of assault and maintaining disorder i ly house. He is indicted for a second offense on both of these charges, and if
 convicted of both the total penalty will be twelve years, making thirty-two years in all.
 Spriggs took the witness stand in his own behalf and denied all the testi- mony given by the witnesses called for the prosecution in bold and defiant manner. He denied all the charges made
 against him by Hattie Warren, one of
 the women he had held in slavery. Spriggs' manner was sullen and de-
 liant. He retorted savagely to the questions of counsel, and his manner
 was not that of the meek, inoffensive citizen he pictured himself in his own testimony.
 Hattie Warren testified that she had been drugged in a saloon and carried to Spriggs' resort on Cornelia street, where her clothes were taken from her. She remained prisoner three years and was beaten by Spriggs whenever she begged to be released.

science. Choose sunny day, when
there is little moisture In the air, and
shake the fiannels we'll to get out all
the dust possible. Then make lather

the water and letting 1t melt. To this
add two tablespoonful of ammonia, or
one of borax, to small tubful Of suds.
the fabric up and down and squeeze 1t
gently, never rubbing 1t either upon the
board or with the hands. Neither
should the garment be soaked in water
or rubbed with soap. Soiled spots may
be lightly rubbed with small brush.
A second tub of water the same tenn
perature Of the first must be at hand, In
which the flannel is to be plunged after
1t II squeezed from the first. Proceed in
the same manner as before. The gar
ment is now half dry. II 1t is freezing
cold 1t will ruin the'flannel to dry 1t out
Of doors. In this case, or even II It is not
good drying day, suspend 1t near the
heat in as dry room as possible. The
more quickly 1t dries the better.

boiled in each quart of water, in place
of soap and rinsing in the same thin
starch will go far toward cleaning the
sallow color of the garment.
To iron flannel is serious mistake.
1t intertwines and mats the individual
hairs so that it is fulled up and there
is no way of unfulling 1t. In place of
ironing 1t, II fannels are hung evenly
on the line, then pulled out smoothly
and placed under such pressure as the

next morning that they are smooth
enough to please the most fastidious
and with this treatment flannel gar
ments will last almost twice as lone
as IL carelessly handled.-Chicago Inter

| 4 Critical Case Of rheumatism Cured
~ Or. Williams Pink Pills.

While Mr.. w. 8. Geisel, Of No. 1875
East Coates street, Moberly, Mo-, was
steadily working at his trade In foun-
dry at that place, he became the victim
Of an attack Of rheumatism, and his ex-
perience is that, Of thousands who are
compelled to work in similar surround
ings. He describes his situation as fol-
lows:
az had been at work for long time
in foundry where I was exposed to
dampness. First my feet began to hurt
and to swell, then my knees and my
shoulder joints began to be affected in
the same way. Finally could not walk
without great difficulty and suffering
aud had to stop work altogether. My
appetite was feeble and grew very pale
aud weak. began to have pains about
my heart and it futtered a great deal.
I became greatly alarmed about my con.
dition. My mother knew about the vir.
tues of DIR. Williams Pink Pills, as they
had given her back her health when she
was nearly wasting to death, and when
she found that they were good for rheu-
matism too, she began to give them to
me about month after was attacked.
That was in the early part of March,
1908. and by June they had driven away
the pains and swelling and had restored
my appetite and color. Then I felt
strong enough to take up line Of out
door work and now, in October, re-
gard myself as entirely we'll and am
about to go into foundry again at St.

HINTS TO HoUsEKEEPERs.

A careful woman noticed that placing
freshly washed hairbrush in the sun
shine or near the fire to dry soon spoils
the color Of the bristles.
Almost any head of hair will be bene-
fitted by an occasional egg shampoo. The
yolk contains iron and sulphur, which
nourish the roots, and the white small
alkali which unites with the oil of the
scalp to form lather. The egg should
be beaten up with an ounce of water and
thoroughly rubbed into the scalp and
then rinsed out with several successive
ly cooler waters, finishing with as cold
water as can be comfortably borne.
Metal teapots, II disused for some
time, give musty flavor to the tea
when next used. This may be prevented
by placing lump of sugar in the tel
pot before putting away.
