Today, in the Laporte county court

trial, charged with numbering the
multi-murderess and her thee ehl-
dren and with firing the Guinness
home.
An army of witnesses has been
subpoenaed by prosecution and de-
fense, and both sides go to trial con-
fident of victory. The evidence
against Lamphere is entirely circum-

Guinness and her crimes, .,Js

some playing the quality of which
surprised even themselves. Their line
seemed almost impenetrable and sem
sational plays were placed to the
credit of Allen, Mcconnell and Stafford,
all of whom received their share OF
applause.
The Varsity won the kick and the
game started In lively fashion. The
sensation of the first half was the
fifty yard run OF Allen. On the other
hand, playing for the Socorro team
was headed by Boright, Tiffany and
Harrigan. all Of whom aided mater

guarantees to every citizen the riglt
of free speech and free press, and
forbids the Congress of our govern
ment from enact.ng any law that
shall in any way abridge, invade or

yet this very denial and invasion are
attempted by this injunction.
There is no disrespect on my part

ORIENTAL BURIAL CUSTOMS.

The ordinary coffin used in Smyrna is
made Of pine wood. for the reason that
it practically is the only one in demand.
1T is very cheap and supplied by car
ponters 10 coffin dealers. who in turn
decorate it with covers of black and
white cloth and adorn it otherwise with
gold or silver trimmings. The price de-
ponds to II great extent upon the iinan-
cial circumstances of the purchaser.
Therefore coffin may sell for s. to S25.
Some dealers occasionally give a coffin
free to some poor man out of charity.
There are also collins made of walnut
and mahogany. but these are very ex-
pensive. the price being $50 to So
each, even with out covered cloth or
trimmings, as the wood itself is beau
tiful enough in its simplicity.
There are about II coffin Dealers or
establishments in Smyrna, two OF
which only rent collins. This Is n sys-@
TEN generally practised among the ma
tive population of the orient. which
suits many poor people, for the reason
that for a nominal sum of s150 the
burial expenses may be covered, the
coffin being returned to the dealer. Tho
practise. however. may often lead to the
spr;tfiug of contagious diseases. The
majority of the coffin dealers have also
protested the renting of coftins. for 1t
spoils the trade generally. but the
