and dropped her eyes. A pretty turn,
indeed, the play had taken! Not word
was uttered for full half minute: nor
did the guilty witnesses venture forth

and impassive, holding the curtain
aside. At last the shadow Of smile
crept into the face OF the princess. but
her tones were full OF deep humility
when she spoke.

AGRICULTURE FOR
TEACHERS IS GIVEN
Dean Henry to Give InStruC-
ton in Elements at Sum-
mer Session.

A new course in the elements Of ag-
riculture especially dslgned for teach
ers in the public schools of the state
who desire to prepare themselves to
give elementary instruction in agricul-
ture will be given in the summer ses
sion in the University of Wisconsin by
Dean w. A. Henry Of the college of
agriculture. The central thought of
the course will be to illustrate and
make clear the essential facts and
principles underlying agricultural
practice. 1t will include lectures and
class room work, but will consist to
a great extent of practical demon
stration in the fields, orchard, and
barns of the agricultural college and
experiment station. The elements of
the soil as the basis of it's fertility !:
the crops of the farm and how they
feed and grow; grains and forage
plants; farm animals, their care and
nutrition, will be some of the more
important topics to be considered.
All the resources and equipment of
the agricultural college and expert
ment station with its departments of
horticulture. agronomy, soils, agricul-
ural bacuerioiogy, agricultural chem
lstry, animal husbandry, agricultur-
al engineering, and dairying will be
available for illustrating the instruc-
tlun and practical work in the sum-
mer session course in agriculture.

ONE BOOK NOW FOR
THE WHOLE FAMILY
NEW RAILROAD MILEAGE IS
ON SALE HERE NOW.
Some Restrictions are Made
Servants May Not Ride on
Family BOOk-Different Roads
Have Different CoIOred Books
New Rates Make Extra Work.

The new 500-mile mileage books
are now on sale at the ticket offices
in WatertoWn, and already there is
quite a demand for them, many Of the
books having already been sold.
The new books are similar to the
forms of mileage books already in use
being of the regulation size, opening
at the end. and having marginal dates
for punching the time of the explra-
tlon of the contract. The books are
limited to one year from the date of
purchase, the selling agent punching
the date of expiration.
On the inside of the cover are print
ed the conditions of the contract,
which state that the mileage is good
for the passage of the original pur-
chaser. whose name appears on the
face of the book, and such members
of his family only (servants not in
cludedD living under his root, who are
actually and legally dependent on him
for support, and whose names are writ
ten on the back OF the cover. Any
child under II years of age is not al
lowed to travel on the mileage unless
accompanied by parent or guardian.
Baggage to the amount of $50 pounds
is transported, the same as on the
regular ticket or mileage. The mile
age is good only on passenger trains.
The different railroads have adopted
different colored books, so one can tell
at glance, if he has several books
in his pocket, and has memory for
colors, which book he should use on a
particular road; and the color is like
wise a protection for conductors. The
Chicago & North Westerns book is
green; the Wisconsin Central's blue,
and the Chicago, Milwaukee & St.
Paul's yellow.
1t is difficult to judge as yet as to
whether the reduced rates are effec-
ting travel. The change of sched-
ules in rates is making much work
for ticket agents, as it is necessary
for them to luok up the rate to each
place. However, 1t will be but few
days before they are familiar with the
rates to the principal points of desti-
nation for local traffic.

Loot Estate, Whose Owner They Be-
head-Two Witnesses Go Crazy.

Yelisavetgrad, Russia, March 15.-
An estate in this vicinity was attacked
by robbers who bound and decapitated
the proprietor, five laborers and a
woman. Two witnesses of the slaugh-
ter; a soldier who hid in a haystack
and a child, lost their reason. The
soldier subsequently died in delirium
in a hospital. The booty secured by
the robbers amounted to $1,000
On the occasion of the funeral of a
prominent reactionary who was killed
by revolutionists an attempt was made
to start anti-Jewish excesses. Rioters
began beating Jews in the streets and
sacking the bazaar and Jewish lodg-
ings, but they were stopped by the
prompt intervention of the troops. Sew
eral Jews were wounded, one of whom
died in the hospital.
The local rabbis have telegraphed
complaints to the lower house of par
lament and to Premier Stolypin.

MOB ATTACKS STRtET CARS
SERIOUS RIOTING OCCURS At
LOUISVILLE, KY.
Vehicle Literally Torn to Pieces and
Several Persons Are Badly
Injured.

Louisville, KY, March 15.-The
most serious rioting since the street
railway strike began was witnessed
at II o'clock Thursday morning at
Fourteenth and Chestnut streets Five
cars were broken to pieces. Several
persons were badly injured, among
them Police Corporal Louis H. Whit
man.
The mob numbered 5000, and when
the first of three cars reached the
scene the outbreak began Stones
were rained on the cars and the en-
tire front end of one car was torn
out. The cars were literally torn to
pieces, and many stores and resi-
dences in the vicinity were damaged.
When the riot reached it's height
and the police saw that they would
be unable to cope with the situation
by ordinary means, they began firing
over the heads of the crowd, but that
only increased the fury of the mob.
The surging mass of men and boys
then made determined attack on
the police, and it was during this that
Corporal Whitman was hit in the head
with a rock.
Farley, the strike breaker, is in
the city. Twelve policemen in addi-
ton to Capt. Riley have been sus-
pended from duty for insubordination
The conference committee composed
of representatives of the various busi-
ness organizations in the city have
agreed with the directors of the Louis
vile Street Railway company, on
terms for settlement of the street
car strike These terms will be sub
mitted to the union men. The COM
mittee refused to give out the stipu-

TESTIMONY OF ABE
HUMMEL IS BARRED
DEFENSE WINS SIGNAL VICTORY
IN THAW MURDER
TRIAL.
WITNESS MAKES AN
IMPORTANT STATEMENT
Slips Into Evidence Declaration That
Evelyn Told Him She Had Told
Defendant in Paris White Did Not
Drug Her.

New York, March 15.-The greatest
victory for the defense in weeks was
won by Harry K. Thaw Thursday
when Justice Fitzgerald sustained At
, torney Delmas' objection to the intro
accusing ThaW as a wife-beater. The
decision followed brilliant and con-
vincing argument by Attorney Delmas
against ,the admission of HummePs
statement on the plea that he was
acting as attorney for Evelyn Nesbit
at the time of the alleged statement.
Hummel was prepared to say that
Evelyn Nesbit Thaw had made an affi-
davit in his Office to the effect that
Harry K. Thaw had stripped and beat
en- her for refusing to sign a state
ment in proceedings to have White
sent to Jail.
When the Thaw trial opened Abe
Hummel was recalled to the stand.
Mr. Delmas then began his argument
in reply to District Attorney Jerome as
to the admissibility of Hummel's evi-
dence
While on the witness stand Hummel
declared that Evelyn Nesbit told him
in 1903 that she had told Thaw in
Paris that it was not true Stanford
White had drugged and betrayed her.
The answer to a question by Dis
trict Attorney Jerome was made so
quickly that the counsel for the de-
fense had not time to interpose an OBJ
lection, but Mr.. Delmas let the answer
stand, saying there was no occasion to
strike it out after it had once been
given to the jury, adding significantly
that he preferred it should remain
part Of the record.
Expert Takes the Stand.
When court convened for the after
noon session District Attorney Jerome
called upon six of his experts to be
sworn. These were Flint, Hirsch, Die
fendorf, Mabon, Pritchard and Ferris.
After all had taken the oath, Mr..
Jerome directed Mr.. Flint to take the
stand The doctor said he graduated
from the Jefferson Medical school at
Philadelphia in 1857, and has for 20
years made specially of mental dis
eases and has many times been called
as an expert in insanity cases.
He said, in answer to questions, that
he had read the letters which have
been placed in evidence, the will and
codicil and the letter to Anthony
Comstock. Mr. Jerome then began to
read to the witness the hypothetical
question which Mr.. DeImas had sub
mitted to his experts. On this DR..
Flint said he thought Thaw knew the
nature and quality of his act and knew
the act was wrong.
At 2:47 Assistant District Attorney
Garvan began the reading of the pros
ecution's hypothetical question.
Thaw's counsel, with copies of the
question in their hands, followed the
reading closely.
The hypothetical question which Je-
rome put to his experts and on which
he asked them to base an opinion as to
Thaw's sanity, covered practically all
of the evidence in the case. 1t con-
tanned about $4,000 words, and
throughout the question Thaw was
referred to as H. K. IT, and Evelyn
Nesbit as e. n"

Hard Coal to Go Down.

Philadelphia, March 15.-Anthracite
operators have agreed to make the
usual 5O-cent reduction in the price of
coal April 1, when the new spring
schedule will go into effect. If there
is any decrease in the price of pea
coal, however, it will not be more than
25 cents ton, the operators say. Be-
cause of the large quantity of fuel on
hand and the slow demand the 80 col
lieries of the Reading company will be
closed all of next week
