TOday's Telegraphic News
The Haywood Trial.

Boise, Idaho, June 12.-When Harry
Orchard, the self-coDfs sssd slayer OF
eighteen men, returned to the stand
today for his seventh day on the grill,
his appearance showed a marked con-
trast to that of Attorney Richardson,
the man who has hurled every Enown
legal bsrpoon and barb at the witnes
without penetrating the srmor OF stocism
10 which the witness encased himself.
Orchard, calm and unpertubed, step
ped to the stand with a light step, and,
after casting an interested glance over
the packed court room, settle himself
comfortably in his chair without the
slightest indiction OfanuOyance or anxiety
over the dissgreeable hours that he knew
were before him.
Richardson, on the other hand, is be-
ginning to show The strain under which
he is laboriug. That be has been netiled
by Orchards success as witness is be-
coming more and more manifest.
Sarcasm, abuse, trickery and persuasion
have proved equally Ineffective 10 wiring
ing from Orchard answers which might
entangle him or prove Of benefit to the
defense.
At no time has Orchard displayed the
slightest resentment. On the contrary,
he has been exceedingly careful to an
swer clearly'sni distinctly ali questions
asked him, though scrupulously avoiding
volunteering the slightest information
not asked. s,s .s,al
This morning Richardson resumed the
cross examination. For an hour this
morning Richardson tried 10 vain 10 con-
fuse Orchard relative to bis testimony
concerning his attempts to asslssi nate
Governor Peabody. The witness stuck
to his original story and declared that
the attempts were all inspired by Hay
wood and Mover.

one way TO cure deafness, and that is by con-

be destroyed forever; nine cases out Of ten are
caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but sn

Berlin, June r. The great sensation
in court circles in recent years has been
created by the degrading and ordering
out Of Germany Of Prince Frederick
Henry of Prussia. by the Kaiser, his
cousin, because of his extreme immoral
ity. Kaiser William personally tore from
his relative the orders and decorations he
wore, boxed his ears and ordered him to
lave Germany and never return under
penalty Of being thrown into prison. In
tears Frederick Henry departed and is
now on his way to Egypt. The scandal
is all the greater for the reason that
Frederick has always posed as a pious
man and was reputed to be the most
moral member of the imperial family.
He is the son OF the late Prince AL
brecht, regent of Brunswick, aud inner
