then he caught the odor OF a cigaret
and turned to see Tremaine smiling al
him.
Good morning." cried Tremaine
"a beautiful morning, isn't 1T" Won't
you join me?"
1T was impossible to refuse him;
but Drysdale had no thought Of re-
fusal-he rather welcomed the oppor-
tunity to cross swords with his rival
to test his skill. to find out In how
far that air Of triumph was Justified
by the strength behind 1t. So he took
the little cylinder of paper as he re-
turned the greeting, n sat down or
the sill Of his window.

FARM FACTS.

The possibilities of corn growing is
shown by the work of corn in
Wisconsin. With the aid of Professor
Moore, of the Wisconsin experiment
station, corn growers in that state are
growing q remarkably heavy yielding
sort of white corn. It yields as high
as 20 to so bushels per acre.

DAIRY NOTES

The first and last rule Of winter
feeding is regularity. Cows have no
holidays o Sundays. If 6 o'clock is
the feeding time, make it that time ev-
cry day. Six one day and seven the
next day won't do. Cows never make
a mistake on their feeding time, and.
they fret when feeding Is delayed.

IN HER OWN BEHALF.
Woman Defends Herself Against
Charge of Murder

Mary E. Johnson. colored. twenty-nine
years old. who was placed on trial this
morning in Criminal Court No. 1, before
Justice Stafford and a jury on an indict-
ment charging second-degree murder in
connection with the death Of Jerome Z.
Jones. March Is last. this afternoon took
the witness stand in her own defense.
She told the court that she and the de-
ceased had lived together in the rear of
NO. 1889 Vermont avenue, where the shoot
ing occurred on the afternoon Of March
ID. She declared that Jones came in on
the fatal afternoon in a drunken condition
and was quite quarrelsome. In the course
OF the quarrel she bad him pack his trunk
and leave the house.
Angered at this request, Jones' she said,
kicked her, and picking up chair threat
ened to brain her, whereupon, she said. be-
lieving herself to be In danger, she grabbed
up the pistol and shot at him for the pur-
pose of soaring him and causing him to
desist from his attack. Her action, she
claimed. was in self-defense.
But short time was taken In the selec-
ton Of jury, and the government finished
its case by the noon recess. The only tes-
timony offered by the government to con-
meet the defendant with the shooting. there
having been no eyewitnesses, was a signed
statement by the defendant. in which she
admitted the shooting, but claimed to have
acted in self -defense.
Attorney w. E. Ambrose for the defense
asked that the jury be instructed to acQuit
the defendant. but Justice Stafford de-
clined to take this action, saying that
the case should be decided by the jury.
Assistant Attorney Turner is conducting
the prosecution.

CHARLES ROSS BELIEVED TO
HAVE TAKEN POISON.

Charles Ross. a photographer in the office
of the geological survey, was taken to the
Homeopathic Hospital shortly before noon
today to be treated because he was be-
lieved to have swallowed a mixture of
ether and chloroform. At the hospital, the
physicians stated Ross said something
about his work and gave that as an excuse
for wanting to die. The physicians under
stood him to say that he was out of work,
but at the Office of the geological survey
1t was explained that he was still en-
ployed there. He was at the Office this
morning. but remained only short time
Leaving the Office, it is believed. he
started to return to his home, go New
ton street. but stopped at saloon at
1878 It'll street, and while there he says
he took some of the poison. When he
entered the saloon he called for a drink
OF whisky, and after being served he
took bottle from his pocket and BRAN
dished it about his head splitting the
contents on the floor. Then he entered
the toilet room and took another bottle
from his pocket
1t Is said that he was In the act Of drink
ing the liquid when Policeman Kleindienst
who had followed him there because of his
peculiar actions, knocked the bottle from
his hand.
Ross was then led to patrol box and was
sent to the hospital, where he was treated
for poisoning. While his condition Is Sc
rious. it is stated at the hospital that he
will probably recover.

GEN. KUROKI
WELCOMED TO CITY
CONTINUED from First Page.)

Service. The advancement that has been
obtained by Gen. Kuroki has come through
close application to the duties that have
been placed upon him during many years
and is a reward for superiority displayed
on many occasions.
Although the distinguished general is
known to the world at large chiefly in con-
nection with his career in the war with
Russia, his fame in his own country ex-
tends back for many years, during which
he has been regarded as military leader
of commanding abilities. In the war with
China he commanded the LIST Army Division
which took such a prominent part in bring
ing victory to japanese arms. His service
was constant throughout the war. He was
directly under Field Marshal Oyama.
Directly after the declaration of war be-
tween Japan and Russia Gen. Kuroh was
hurried to Korea with a force of 10000
men. The command was the first In the
field, and was the last to be recalled.
The admirers of Gen. Kuroki place
greater importance upon what was accom-
plished by him by means of strategy rather
than through ferocious warfare. His cam
paign in Korea and Manchuria covered
practically the entire period Of the war.
His losses were said to be 1896 men,
against $4,000 men of the enemy. destroyed
by him. Japanese records do not contain
the account of a single defeat coming to
Gen. Kuroki, and with that record he
stands first in the estimat ton of many Of
the japanese as sagacious military COM
mander.
The general has a wife and family of four
children in Japan. He Is now sixty-four
years OF age.

MRS. EDDY'S ESTATE.
Unusual Step Taken in Suit by Geo

Special Dispatch TO The Star.
CONCORD, n. H., May 9.-Martin q
How of counsel for George w. Glover,
Mrs Mary Baker Eddy's son. and for the
other next friends who. on March 1,
brought suit in equity for an accounting
of the estate of Mrs. Eddy and for the
appointment of a receiver for her. have
taken an unusual step. They have filed
with the clerk of the superior court five
affidavits made by the next friends" and
have also filed a motion of an unusual
nature in legal practice. The affidavits of
the next friends are nothing but reiter-
alton of their original declarations in the
suit. The motion is a formal notice of
intention to appeal in the event of an adj
Verse decision.
The ordinary practice in the courts has
been that counsel desiring to appeal from
a decision do SO after 1t Is rendered and
some people may assume from this notice
that counsel for the petitioners. in anticipa-
ton of an adverse judgment of the court,
are leaving way open to file supple
mental affidavits in support of their motion
to add the trustees to the original defend
ants. instead of accepting them substi-
tutes and making the trustees the actual
plaintiffs.
