The Bottle Trick.

r. E. H., Springboro, Pa, asks:
How is it possible to pour from one
and the same bottle various kinds of
liquids?"
Answer.-This bottle trick is per-
formed like this: Have on your table
a glass pitcher filed with clear water,
to which add a great spoonful of
strong sulphuric acid. Now present
to the company a champagne bottle
and a glass funnel and say to your
audience: "This pitcher contains
water and the bottle is empty" Pour
the acid water in the bottle by means
of the funnel and then produce four
tumblers and M champagne glass.
In one tumbler have some cochineal,
in the second cochineal and saleratus,
in the third a few drops Of Goulard's
extract of lead; the fourth tumbler
must contain a small quantity Of a
solution of cochineal. In the cham
payne glass put a pinch of saleratus,
and have a fifth tumbler clean. Now
pour some water from the bottle into
the nFSI glass;, q II Will look IKE
wine-you may taste a few drops
without fear; pour water fro mthe
bottle into the second glass and 1t
will have the appearance of porter;
the acid water in the third glass will
produce a fluid like milk; pour some
into the fourth glass and it will have
the appearance of brandy. The fifth
glass of water will remain in its clear
state. Pour the rest of the acid water
into the champagne glass and it will
look like the famous sparkling wine.
After the performance break the bot
tie and show that it is empty and
contains no secret compaTtnents.-

MRS. SADIE ABBOTT

Women for the most part spend
their lives at home, and it is these
women who are willing and ambitious
that their homes shall be kept neat
and pretty, their children well dressed
and tidy, who do their own cooking,
sweeping, busting and often washing,
ironing and sewing for the entire
family, who call for our sympathy.
Truly the work Of such a woman
is never done" and is it any wonder
that she breaks down at the end Of a

there is a displacement, Inflammation

a female weakness is brought on, and

MURDER IS RESULT
OF BLACKMA|L|NG
CORONER'S JURY HOLDS ARME-
MAN FOR MURDER OF RUG
MERCHANT.
(By the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, July 24.-The dis
trict attorneys office obtained today
number of letters in connection
with the murder of the rug merchant,
III. S. Tavshanjian, who showed that
for several months there have been
communications sent to rich mer-
chants in this city demanding that
amounts of money be sent to the
Hunchakist society on pain of death.
The letters confirm the reports of a
widespread conspiracy to get money
and which the district attorney
thinks is alarming.
One of the Hunchakists, A. Leon,
who had been greatly frightened by
a letter from Tavshanjian, confessed
tonight to having written several of
these letters.
Icons father, about 20 years ago,
had gone on trip to Persia. On the
journey he was held up. The son
does not know whether the brigands
got any money from his father, for
when he returned to America he was
raving maniac and died within a
month, without being able to tell
anything about his experiences. Po-
lice Commissioner Bingham stated
tonight that for long time he had
known of Armenians who were black
mailing rich merchants.
The coroner's jury today returned
verdict holding Bedros Hampart-
zoomian, who killed Tavshanjian, on
charge of homicide.

HLINOISAN ANXIOUS TO
CONFRONT HIS ACCUSERS

LOS ANGELES, July 24.-Frank
K. Whiting of Peoria, Illinois, who
was arrested last Saturday night on
a charge of embezzlement and who is
held in the county Jail awaiting the
arrival of Illinois officers to return
him to Peoria, is very indignant at
the act of the Illinois authorities in
taking out extradition papers to COM
pei his return. He states that he in
formed the Peoria sheriff before leav-
ing there that he expected his enc
mics might cause his arrest in Cali
fornia and if SO that he desired to be
notified by telegraph and that he
would return at once. While he has
no objection to waiting until the Of
ficer arrives, he says that he had no
idea of resisting extradition and that
the proceedings were unnecessary
and intended only to cast further
odium upon him. He is anxious, he
states, to return and confront his ac-
cusers and establish his innocence.

BUT THREE MORE
WITNESSES FOR STATE
ATTORNEY DELMAS WILL COM
MENCE HIS OPENING ARGU-
MENT TOMORROW.
(By the Associated Press. }

SAN FRANCISCO, July 24.-Con-
trary to expectations, the prosecution
did not finish today its case against
Louis Glass, charged with the brib-
cry of supervisors. Shortly before
adjournment Assistant District Attor-
ney Heney stated to the court that he
has but three more witnesses to call,
and that their direct examination will
not consume in all more than one
hour. Allowing the rest of the morn
ing session for cross-examination, 1t
Is thought that Attorney Delmas will
find the field clear for his opening
statement to the jury not later than
2 O'Clock tomorrow afternoon.
The most interesting witness today
from the viewpoint of an audience
that contained more than a score of
women, was Mrs. Annie Boxton, wife
of Supervisor Charles Boxton, whose
temporary incumbency of the mayors
chair under the domination of the
"big stick" was terminated recently
by the succession of DR.. Edward r.
Taylor. Mrs. Boxton testified that
the $4,000 which her husband con-
fessed was accepted as bribe from
T. V. Halsey by him, was brought
home, counted and given to her. Mrs.
Boxton, whose handsome and stylish
appearance won for her many curious
stares, was on the stand but a few
minutes, and escaped the ordeal of
cross-examinatiOn.
Other witnesses of the day were
Supervisor Charles Boxton, recalled ;
George A. Bordwell, auditor of the
Etret National hanEs Enotln I Vim.
mer, second vice president of the Pa.
cific States Telephone and Telegraph
company, who again refused to be-
come a witness for the prosecution,
and was by Judge Lawlor fined $500
and sent to jail for contempt of
court; w. Eaton, secretary-treasurer
of the Telephone company, recalled;
VIM. j. Kennedy, assistant treasurer
of the same company, whose appar-
ent unwillingness to answer ques-
tions fretted Heney and lead to Sc
we're exchange of remarks between
him and Delmas; John Kruse, re-
called; Herbert w. Smith, stenogra-
pher to Vice-president Glass, in the
offices of the Pacific States Telephone
company, and Samuel A. Monsarrat,
bookkeeper in the cashiers depart
ment of that concern.
No new evidence was brought to
light today. The prosecution busted
itself in endeavors to tie up loose
ends in preparation for the ultimate
task of presenting to the jury well,
founded circumstantial case.
One of the first witnesses to be
called by the defense, according to
a casual court room remark by Del
mas, will be Rudolph Spreckles
financial guarantor of, and one of the
three most active members of the
bribery graft prosecution.

BODY BROUGHT ASHORE
HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED

EUREKA, Cal, July 24.-The
body of the man brought ashore Sun
day at Shelter Cove by the boat
which landed there, was identified
this afternoon as that of VIM. Waller
of Colusa, California. The other
body brought ashore by the boat at
Shelter Cove and supposed to have
been Mrs Lewis of Pasadena, has not
yet been identified. A search of her
clothing this morning revealed two
purser's meal tickets. Purser
Byrnes of the Columbia, who left on
the Topeka this afternoon for San
Francisco, took the numbers and will
go to the office of the company and
thus establish her identity 1t has
been suggested that it may yet de-
velop that the body Is that of Mrs.
Lewis. One fact, however, which
tends to prove conclusively that the
body is not that of Mrs. Lewis, is the
remark made by Mr.. Lewis, who
stated that he had not seen the face
of the corpse at all, not caring to
look at his wife's features while in
the life boat.

LOS ANGELES, July 24.-Los An

panies have escaped taxation upon
local property on the ground that
they operated under a federal fran
chise. The city assessor this year
levied assessments against their oc-
cupancy of the streets, assessing the
Western Union 100000 and the
Postal $4,000, exclusive of their
personal property holdings. The
companies have started injunction
proceedings to restrain collection OF
the taxes.

CONTRIBUTED MORE
THAN OTHER COUNTRIES
UNITED STATES HAS TAKEN
LEADING PART AT
THE HAGUE.
lBy the Associated Press }

THE HAGUE, July 24.-Thus far
the United States has contributed
more than any other country to the
peace conference.
AS was expected, the American
proposal for the collection of con-
tractual debts will be adopted almost
unanimously on July 27, only a few
countries making reservations, while
the proposition regarding the per-
manence of the arbitration court, the
most important step of the confer
ence, will be accepted with amend
ments, to which, however, the Ameri-
can delegates will offer no objec-
tions.
The British delegation has received
instructions to support both the per-
manent court and the general arbi-
tration proposition.
Still another American proposition
that relating to a permanent periodi-
cal conference, will not be presented
until the end of the conference IN
order to avoid interference with the
work already under discussion.

DISTRICT.

GOLDFIELD, Nevada, July "a
The miners union decided last night
to hold referendum vote on the
question of the status of the men en-
ployed in the mines of this district
The voting will begin at 9 O'Clock
and it is likely that all of the miners
employed on that shift will take a
day off in order to participate.
The union has demanded of the
mine owners that the watchmen be
members of the Western Federation
of Miners, and the mine owners de-
clare that the watchmen should be
neutral. The grievance committee of
the union put the matter up to the
membership, with the result that a
vote will be taken.
