less Women.
AFFECTS THE PRISONER
Argument Unusually Impressive
.--Court on Recess Till.
Monday.

Washington, Nov. 3O.-Arguments
in the trial of Mrs. Bradley for the
murder of former Senator Brown were
begun today when court convened
Assistant District Attorney Turner
opened for the government and he
will be followed by Mr.. Wells for the
defense.
Mrs. Bradley Alert.
Mrs. Bradley came into court as If
fully alive to the Importance of the
proceedings. She took her accustomed
place where she could be plainly seen
by the jurors and very near her coun-
sci. Turner opened by saying that
there was no space in the considera-
ton of the case for sympathy, passion
or prejudice, but that the jury must
answer the question under their oath.
Turner urged the jury to consider
the case on the same basis as if it
were man involved and as if it were
an ordinary mind involved instead of
the brilliant mind of Mrs. Bradley.
Brings Weapon In.
While he was describing the scene
OF the killing of Brown an attendant
delivered to the district attorney a
small package containing the pistol
that had been used by Mrs. Bradley.
The defendant evidently recognized
the weapon as it was laid at a con-
venient place near the speaker. She
lowered her head and her frame was
shaken by a convulsive sob. Closing
her eyes she remained as if in a stupor
only occasionally looking toward the
jury and watching their faces.
No Evidence of Insanity.
Turner reviewed the evidence of in
sanity and declared that only the most
trivial incidents could be cited to JUS
tify such theory. He insisted the
jury should discard all thought of the
mistreatment she had received from
Brown as it could have nothing to do
with their decision.
Attorney is Overcome.
AS he proceeded Attorney Turner
slightly paled,. leaning on nearby
table. He paused and then sat down
leaving the room for a few moments.
The court suspended the proceedings
until he returned. resumed his argu-
ment which was eloquent and at times
lmpassioned He characterized as dan
Serous the woman who considered a
man not her husband more sacred to
her than does the wife herself.
Turner said even a horse doctor
could have discerned that Mrs Brad
ley when she shot Brown was not suf-
fering from toxic insanity.
Turner concluded with the state
ment that Mrs. Bradleys act was that
of sane person deliberately planned.
Not an Unwritten Law.
Robert Wells, who then opened for
the defense. told the jury the defense
had not submitted its case on the un.
written law, but on the law of the
land, which safeguarded defenseIess
women. His argument was so impress
sive Mrs. Bradley nearly tainted. He
cloncuded at 1:47. Court then adjourn
ed until Monday

NEW POINT ON PROHIBITION
QUESTION.

An Indiana Judge has just raised
holds that the licensing of saloon By
a state is an endorsement of such An
evil that the license is unconstitutional.
He cites cases of the court of last re-
sort of the different states and of the
supreme court of the United States
which he claimed upheld his position,
especially a decision of the supreme
court of Indiana WHICH declared that q
law permitting prize-ffghting was IN
constitutional because <'it was opposed
to the spirit of the constitution. By
the same reasoning he held that the
states had no right to license the evil
of conducting saloons. The applicant
for license in this case did not appeal
so a direct decision on the case could
not be had from the court Of last re-
sort; but the friends of prohibition are
in hopes of having the same point rails
ed in other cases which will be taken
up for final decision. The judge in rem
dering his decision in this case said:
In view of these holdings, based, as
they certainly are, upon good reason
and sound common sense, it must be
held that the state cannot under the
Sulse Of license delegate to the sa-
loon business a legal existence be-

We publish in another column the

such amendments to the constitution

that the effort now being made BY the

TIDE PULASKI STATUE.

Following is the description of the
equestrian statue of the Polish hero
and patriot to be erected on a public
square in Washington City, for which
purpose congress has appropriated
fifty thousand dollars:
The model shows the Polish general
in tie huSSar uniform of his native
country. seated firmly on the back of a
moving horse of unusually fine mold
and graceful lines. The horses head
is uplifted with nOstrils open and ears
erect, as though smelling the battle
from afar. His right farefOOt is raised
and his tail streams outward with the
breeze. The rider presents martial
and picturesque appearance with his
long military cloak thrown gracefully
back from his shoulders. The group
stands on a high granite pedestal
suitably inscribed in the front of an
exedra Of the same material Tt will
proba bly, be placed at the apex OF the
triangle facing the west.
The act provides for the erection Of
q statue of "Brigadier~Genera Count

MORTALITY REPORT
CONSUMPTION AND PNEUMONIA
HEAD DEATH LIST.
Statistics Show That the Greatest
Number of Deaths From Lung
Trouble Occur in Winter.

The Bureau OF Census has published
a report presenting mortality statistics
Tor the United States for the five cal
endar years 800 to 1904.
AS shown in the table, tuberculosis
OF the lungs and pneumonia were by
far the leading causes OF death. The
greatest number of deaths from lung
trouble occur during the winter
months. Colds are so prolific of lung
trouble that they should not be neg
iected Persons with weak lungs
should be especially careful.
A noted authority on lung trouble
advises that as soon as a cold is con-
tracted the following simple treatment
should be given. The ingredients can
be purchased from any prescription

pared in your own home. 1t is said to

Miss Mary Botroff. a woman weh
and favorably known in this city for
her charitable work, says that she
uses both Chinese and Arabic fiuently.
In q recent address made in a missHn
meeting she spoke five different lang
guages so that they could be under
stood by representatives of five differ
ent natioualities in the room at the
time.
This power has also been granted
to the pastor of the church, Rev. Gil
bert Il. Farr. and his wife. There is
nothing new in this he says. I'VE
simply believe and have proved con-
clusively that the power of the apos-
ties reaches down to the present time.
We are now living in the Gospel age.
and everything inaugurated by the
apostles in their age holds good in the
present. We are not a sect nor a cult.
We simply believe in the whole Cos
pei. and in this thing along with all
the rest of it."
Mr.. Farr furnishes this description
OF how the gift came:
Last August a body of Christian
people was holding camp meeting in
this city. and during the meetings two
Christian women came to us from
Los Angeles. They said they We're
going to Jerusalem to preach the Cos
pei in Arabic, as God had given them
that gift and also the gift of other Lam
guages. Many of our members began
to seek it for themselves. After the
public meetings closed we all went
into separate room and waited for
the Lord to do to us as He did to the
apostles at Pentecost, when lie gave
them the gift of languages.
THE first manifestation of the pres
ence of the Holy Ghost was when peo-
pie began to tremble and fall down
great winds. This is just the same
thing that happened according to the
Bible on the day of Pentecost. Very
soon several of our members began to
speak in different languages and 9th
ers interpreted what they said. No
less than 40 people. men, women and
children, have received this wonder
full gift.
LAS for myself, | cannot tell any
thing more about my receiving the
gift than this: My throat began to
swell and | was compelled to remove
my cravat. While | opened my mouth
under the inspiration of the Holy
Ghost, | began to speak in foreign
language which | had never studied
or heard spoken. and l have spoken
under this wonderful power many
times since"
