Central railroad last month, in which
"a persons lost their lives, we're spec

In very specific detail Judge Rosal.
sky explained the second degree of
manslaughter. He told the jurymen
that it was not only well settled in
this state but that it is fact that as
a common carrier a railroad company
is bound to exercise such care as any
prudent man would in the conduct of
his own business.
He called upon the members Of the
grand jury to indict officials, no mat
ter what their station, should the evi.
dence so warrant.
"The interests of the people demand
that you make thorough and vigor-
Gus investigation" said Judge Rosal-

The Benefit of Exercise.

Exercise does for the body what the
mountain side does for the stream Of
water. When the water runs down the
mountain side it is a babbling brook,
leaping out into the air now and then.
throwing itself into spray, exposing it.
self to the air and sunshine and the
waters are crystal pure. In the valley
or on level plain the waters may form
stagnant pools and get covered over
with slime of all sorts and inhabited
by all kinds cf filthy creeping things.
Some people let themselves get into the
condition OF that stagnant pool and
then wonder why the frogs croak In
their brains and why the birds do not
sing instead. When person gets into
the condition where the body is like a
stagnant pool radical change must he
made in his life. He must begin by
getting yitalized. new blood into all his
cells and tissues.-Good Health.

RATES OF ADVERTISING:
Caterpillar Fever.

The symptoms of the ailment known
to doctors as caterpillar rash" are In
tense irritation on the palms, and some
times on the face, accompanied by a
number of bllsterlike swellings which,
when they occur round the eyes, some
times have the effect of obstructing
vision. The preventive is to leave
hairy caterpillars alone. As the
palmer worm," the hairy caterpillar
of the gold tail moth, one Of the COM
monest and most beautiful objects of
the country at midsummer, passes
from hand to hand, 1t leaves on every
palm a few of its loosely attached
hairs, and those hairs are possessed,
for the protection of the caterpillar
against birds and browsing animals,
of what scientists call "urticating prop
critics" "Urtica" is the Latin for met
tie" Many other hairy caterplllars are
almost as bad as the palmer worm,"
and as general rule the less you ham
die any hairy caterpillar the better

jackson In Triumph.

After The battle of New Orleans, says
Thomas T., Watson in his magazine,
when the victor had been crowned with
laurel in the cathedral and acclaimed
like dcmigod through the streets, 1t
was of his mother that he spoke TO the
officers whom he was about to dsband
their glorious work being done.
"Gentlemen, if only she could have
lived to see this day" As you follow
the narrative of Andrew ,Jacksons ca
reer. YOU will hear him say many
things that you will not approve, will
see him do many things which you
cannot applaud, but when you re-
call that at the very top notch of his
success and his pride his heart stayed
in the right place and was sore because
his mother could not he there to glad
den her old eyes with the glory of her
son you will forgive him much in his
life that was harsh and cruel and ut
terly wrong.

Will Not Go to Washinqton.

Messrs. McCrea, Mellen, Hughitt
anu Newman, four railroad presidents
for whose visit to the White House
Morgan arranged before his departure
for Europe, held conference at the
Grand Central station in New York
The whole situation was canvassed
with great care and it was finally de-
cided not to go to Washington.
1t is understood that the reason for
this conclusion was that the four gen.
tlemen involved did not feel that they
had any proper mandate from the rail-
road corporations to represent them.
They recognized that the railroad
managers of the United States are not
themselves in perfect accord, and that
until some method could be adopted
for securing a consensus of opinion a
visit to the president would be idle.
At the conclusion of the conference the
various presidents left for their homes.

The plan to have the barge canal
pass through the city of Rome was
set aside and State Engineer Skene's
plan to construct the waterway south
of the city was adopted at meet.
ing of the canal board in Albany.
1t is estimated that this change will
save the state $SS,0O0 in the cost of
the work and probably $1,700,000 in
claims for damages. No action was
taken on the state engineers plan to

clair's Helicon Hall.
The New York Herald of Sunday
says that according to a member OF
John ID. Rockefeller, Jr.'s Bible class
and who is also personal friend of
John d. Rockefeller and in position
to know of his affairs, the latter pro-
poses soon to make princely gift to
the city of New York. 1t will amount
to at least $5O,0OO,000 1t will be part
ly charitable and partly educational.
The Herald adds: This man in
formed a Herald reporter that when
Mr.. Rockefeller was comforting with
his son at Lakewood, N. j., fort
night ago, the meeting was not for the
purpose of discussing any immediate
gift. but was on the subject of Mr..
Rockefeller's will, which document the
oil king was then completing with the
aid of his son and his lawyers. 1t Is
said that this document will astonish
the world when 1t is made public. 1t
WILL it is declared. donate no less than
S250000,000 for charitable and educa-
tional purposes, and 1t will be so be-
slowed that the benefit therefrom will
be almost perpetual.
The manner in which these be-
quests will be bestowed is said to be
mainly educational and charitable.
While there are some contributions
for religious purposes, it is stated that
Mr.. Rockefeller does not think it nee
essary to extend any great financial
aid to churches. To his manner Of
thinking, the churches are growing
stronger and stronger and there is no
danger that they will ever need any
great financial assistance from one
man.
"As to the charitable bequests, 1t
was said some time ago that Mr.. Rock
efeller had in mind building model
tenements for the poor, such as have
been erected in some European cities.
In his will" The Heralds inform.
ant states, "Mr. Rockefeller has pro-
vided these things-bequests for re-
ligious purposes, though not of large
sums; liberal bequests for education,
and what are described as princely
bequests for charitable purposes. 1t
is said that there is scarcely man,
woman or child that will not benefit
in some way by these prospective do
nations"

Medical Experts Differed.

question which the alienists of the de.

Thaw was suffering from mind SO
unsound that he did not know the ma.
ture or quality of his act when he shot
and killed Stanford White, DR.. Austin
Flint, the first expert called to the
stand by District Attorney Jerome in
rebuttal, asserted it as his opinion as
a scientific man that Thaw positively
did know the nature and quality of his
act and knew that the act was wrong

Hummeps story of Evelyn's Affidavit.

With Attorney Delmas fighting him
every inch of the way Mr.. Jerome Sc
cured from Abraham Hummel his COM
plete story as to the affidavit which it
is alleged Evelyn Nesbit Thaw made
in the lawyers Office in 1908 charging
Harry X. Thaw with beating her when
she had told him that the statement
that Stanford White had drugged and
ruined her was not true.
The Hummel testimony came during
Mr.. Delmas, first objecting broadly to
all of Hummel's testimony, offered a
specific objection to each question put
by the prosecutor. Justice Fitzgerald
overruled every objection and Mr.. Del
mas had exceptions to the rulings
noted on the records.
Evelyn Nesbit Thaw herself was
called to the stand in the effort of the
defense to keep Hummel silent. She
declared she had called upon Hummel
in his professional capacity and to
seek his advice as a lawyer. Stanford
White had taken her to the lawyers Of
fee with that end in view.
Unsuccessful in blocking Hummers
testimony, Attorney Delmas in cross
examining the witness brought from
his own lips the fact that he had been
convicted in December 1905, in the
very court room in which Thaw is be-
ing tried, on a charge of conspiracy.
He further admitted that two indict-
ments for subornation of perjury are
pending against him and that one of
these indictments charges him with
having caused false affidavit to be
made.
