AFTERNOON SESSION.
On the opening of the afternoon ses-
sion Attorney Thompson called alten-
ton to the fact that the excluding OF
witnesses from the courtroom was 10
keep them apart while testimony was
being given on the stand. He stated
that he had seen Taylor with Mr..
Ayres during the noon recess and while
not making any accusations he wish
ed the court to give instructions in
this regard. Judge Robinson instruct
ed the witness not to communicate
with the other witnesses while on the
stand.
/ Taylor started to make corrections
in his testimony, saying that he had
read over notes. Thompson demanded
the right to, an inspection of the notes,
which was given him by the court
in spite of repeated objections by the
prosecution. The corrections were
minor details in regard to dates OF
various interviews.
Taylor then proceeded to tell of an
other visit to Yuen Chong's store at
which he met Lee Let who read from a
paper on which he had written the re-
suits of an interview with the Chinese
hui who wished to carry on the games.
He said that the hui wanted to play
not only pakapio but also che ia, fan
tan and paikau. The details by which
the money WIS to be paid were also ar
ranged. At this interview Taylor said
that 1t was agreed that the fines of
men belonging to the hui should be
paid out of his weekly bride.
Taylor mentioned that the amount
of 5000 per week was stated to be the
same amount as that which had been
paid before for protection. At this and
also at later time estimates for start
ing chefa and fantan were asked.
In the next interview Taylor told OF
his receiving the $50 bride, and of Lee
Let's shaking hands and wishing him
good luck Taylor told OF trying 10

METHoDISM OF WESLEY.

one who loves the Lord his God with
all his heart, and soul. and mind and
strength.
''He rejoices evermore, prays with
out ceasing, and inevery thing gives
thanks.
''His heart is full of love to all
mankind, and is purified from envy

nature through its becoming fashion

He fares not sumptuously every

"He cannot lay up treasure upon
the earth; nor can he adorn Himself
with gold or costly apparel.
"He cannot join in any diversion

tinguished from all men,"

ts YEARS IN PENlrENTIARY
Smith Hustled Out Of Cumberland To
Prevent Lynching.

Cumberland, Md, MAY 12.-Late
Monday afternoon, after the court
house had been cleared, James B
Smith, convicted of murder in the sec
ond degree for killing his wife in
South Cumberland, was sentenced to
Is years in the penitentiary. Sentence
was proounced by Judge Henderson
who referred to the crime briefly, but
gave Smith the full limit of the law
Smith had nothing to say. He was
quickly taken back to Jail, and at 6
O'clock in company with Sheriff Hodel
and two deputies, was quietly con

road depot in a closed hack and

B. Pitzer and four policemen. sent
there as matter OF precaution.
The verdict of the jury did not
please many people here, and consid-
cradle bad feeling against Smith was
apparent. Citizens generally commend
the court for this prompt action, as
many were heard to say that Smith
deserved hanging as much as the ne.
gro who was lyuched for kidling officer
Baker, and the taking of Smith to the
penitentiary so soon made the city fee
easier. It was feared there might be a
lynching.

MANY WOODS IN PIANO
Only. Certain Kinds Have Qualities
Demanded.

AS many kinds of wood are used in
the making of a piano as in the max
ing of house or an ocean-going
steamship. Certain woods possess
qualities demanded by piano manu-
facturers, and no substitutes will be
taken.
The sounding board, for instance, Is
never made OF anything but spruce.
1t is a thin piece-more frequently
several pieces glued together-the
whole thing would hardly make
enough kindling for fire, If a hatchet
were used on it. But 1t is the one es-
sential thing, and without 1t there
could be no piano.
1t is selected with care, seasoned in
the most pains-taking manner, cut and
shaped by experts, and 1T becomes the
soul and life of the instrument. Had
the spruce used in a sounding board
gone to the pulp mill instead of the
piano factory, 1t would have made
about enough paper for a couple of
sheet OF music
The pianos frame, the part which
holds the strings and endures the in
cessant strain of several tons, is
usually of EN-. Bicycle rims are of
the same wood, and the enormous load
which a thin strip weighing a few
ounces can carry is well known.
The visible part of the piano is the
veneer, the thin she'll of wood glued
over the outside of the frame. The
music would be as fine and the frame
as strong without the veneer. But it
adds beauty, and for that reason a
beautiful wood is selected, and is
stained varnised and polished. 1t may
be walnut, Mahogany, oak, ash, maple,
cherry or rosewood. 1t is as thin as
egg shell, but ii hides the heavy pop
lar planks to which it is glued. YeI-
low poplar is nearly always used for
backing of piano veneer.
Maple and cedar are commonly
used for bridges, levers hammer
shanks, backstops, and other small
mechanisns, white pine is excellent
for keys. Perhaps not more than one
or two of the states grow all the kinds
of wood used in making one good
piano. Suitable materials must be
brought together from distant places;
but all of those necessary are found in
sufficient quantities in the United
States; though considerable amounts
of the finest foreign woods are
brought in for veneer on high grade
instruments.

LAW AGAINST GAMBLING.
Shall The Laws of The State Be
Enforced.

The sovereign people of West Vir-
ginia, speaking through it's legisla-
tive representatives, have decreed
by law that gambling is crime.
Ample power is given by law to the
ministerial Offices charged with the
laws enforcement, to abate the nefa-
rious practice and to punish the per-
petrators thereof.
1t is principal of the common law
of the land that the officials charged
by law with the laws enforcement,
are particeps criminis to crimes COM
mitted with their knowledge and
which they make no efforts to pre-
vent, abate, or correct, by vigilant
attempts to arrest the perpetrators
and bring them to justice.
Do the officials of this city and
county who are charged by their
oaths of office and by the law, with
the laws enforcement, pretend they
do not know that gambling is -four
ishing in Wheeling in open violation
of the criminal code OF West ViT-
ginia? Do their recreant public
servants dare plead ignorance of the
law as well as ignorance of fact the
their failure to enforce the anti
gambling laws?-Wheeling Telegraph
