tendance in court and dismissed a
motion to that effect. The condi-
tion of Mr. Rogers was disclosed IN
the course OF a hearing on a motion
TO show that he was capable 0f at
tending the trial OF a suit against
him for $5O,OOO.OOO brought by C.

/ petroleum.
The hearing began last week with
the testimony of DR.. Chas. l.. Pratt.
of New Bedford. who stated that
Mr.. Rogers had suffered from a
stroke last July and was unable TO

Counsel for Mr. Raymond today
sought to show by the testimony OF
personal and business friends OF Mr..

Haven, and also by numerous tele-
phone tickets giving a record of calls
between New York and the home of
Mr. Rogers in New Haven that the
Standard OIL Gnancier had been
about The streets. had participated in
certain festivities, had engaged i'm
certain business in New BEDFORD and
had been in frequent communication
with his associates in New York.
President Winsor, OF the First Ma
tional Bank Of New Bedford. stated
that he had conversed with Mr.. Rog-
ers at the bank, but said that it was
not upon business matters.
Urbad H. Broughton. the son-in-
law of Mr. Rogers, said that since
July %, when Mr.. Rogers was taken
Iill in New York. his father-in-Iaw
had been unable to transact any
business. and that soon after that
date Mr Rogers told him to pick up
all his business and carry on the af-
fairs to the best Of his knowledge.
At this time Mr.. Broughton testl-
fed that the physicians had refused
TO allow Mr. Rogers to see any mem
ber of the family not excepting his
wife. At present. he testified. "Mr.
Rogers face is distorted on the
right side the left Of his body Is out
|of Cts natural position and his speech
+ is affected
Henry ~ Rogers. Jr., said that
there had been only n slight i'm
provement I'm his fathers condition
since July i and that the only bus
iness he had done was TO sign three
blank checks and give a power of at
torney to open safe deposit vault
in New York He refused TO discuss
anything of importance and ordina-
ry matters worried him
Dr Pratt told the court that be
could not state exactly what would
Doe the ultimate result Of the attack
last July. nor 70 what &c was due
He thought it might be apoplexy on
.perhaus clot ON the brain or a
slight paralytc stroke.

"I'll soon show you If l come out

The boys" however, continued
their racket to such an extent that
the irritated officer soon appeared
upon the scene and read them a ter

threat to report the men to their col

Although the use of spices for the
purpose of frightening the flavor Of
food is almost universal, it is gener-
ally recognized that their influence
ON digestion is detrimental. Some ex-
periments recently carried out tend to
prove that while spices stimulate the
motor functions of the stomach, they
progressively impair the secretory
functions, and in the long run inhibit
the production of hydrochloric acid.
On the whole, therefore, the ingestioD
Of spices hinders rather than acceler-
ates digestion, though an exception
may be made in respect of persons in
whom slowness of digestion is due to
a deficiency of muscular activity on
the part of the stomach, and also pos
sibly of the victims of hyperacidity.

neacon paid the am.

A story is told about two old-timers
of Barnet, VT, one, Sol Stevens, the
village saddler and harness maker, the
other Dea. James Gilbraith, a Scotch
man who lived on farm back among
the hills.
The deacon had brought his saddle
to Sol to have it repaired, and upon
going to get it found that the charges
for putting it in shape amounted to
four dollars. The deacon was sur
prised at the amount, and after con-
sidering the matter a few minutes he
said:
.Weel, Sol, We may keep the sad
die for two dollars, and I'll gaze hame
and bring We two bushel q wheat fir
the ither twa."
