lie Bowie took the stand today in de-
fense OF herself and her son, Henry

Mover on the stand.

Boise, Idaho, July ll.-Under fire
of cross-examination President Charles
II. Meyer, of the Western Federation
of Miners, is sticking to the story ne told
on the witness stand for the defense in
the Haywood case yesterday. Meyers
testimony was designed to substantiate
the defeuse's claim that violence was
countenanced neither by the miners
federation nor by any OF its officers and
to support the contention that monster
conspiracy existed among the mine
owners to break up the federation. He
gave Orchard the direct lie. That he car
ried arms at various times, he admitted
He did so, he ssid, only TO protect him
self against the beatings that we're in
flicted on many members Of the miners
organization supposedly BY agents of the
mine owners. The cross-examination is
expected 70 occupy most of today. Hay
wood will follow Meyer on the stand.

gency orders for Welsh steam coal to be

by the United States to New Castle, New
South Wales, for coal to be delivered at
some point on the western coast OF South
America.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion Of the ear. There is only
one way to cure deafness, and that is by con.
stitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by
an inhamed condition Of the mucous lining
OF the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is
inaamed you have a rumbling sound or i'm
perfect hearing. and when il is entirely
closed Deafness is the result, and unless the
Inflammation can be taken out and this tube
restored to its normal condition. hearing will
be destroyed forever; nine cases out Of ten are
caused by Cstarrh, which is nothing but an
inhamed condition Of the mucous surfaces.

The SCHEME for monument to Wm'
Penn in Westminster Abbey has evoked
some adverse criticism of singular kind.
1t is claimed that the English will not
welcome the monument, because Penn's
character in England was very different
from the idea of him entertained in
this country. 1t is asserted that he was
y sort of pardon brOker-a go-between
between the courtiers of James l..
aud persons who were engaged in the
Monmouth rebellion. This assertion is
based on Macaulsy's history Of England.
It has been shown since Macaulay pub
lished his history that his attack on
William Penn was the result of precipi-
tancy-that he read of certain indivi
dual bearing that name who at one time
made himself Objectionable to the better
class of English people and assumed he
was the man who played a conspicuous
part in the early history of this country.
1t is now generally admitted that Mac
aulsy's excavations of the Quaker were
unfounded.
