Although some of the salacious fea' lures which were looked for at the trial of Mrs. Anna N. Bradley for the mur- der of Senator Arthur NJ. Brown were eliminated by direction of the court there was enough of the sehsatioil"i connected herewith to hold the atteh- tion not only of Washington but Of the entire country The prominence or the man and the attractiyeness or the Wonl- an, together with the manner or the shooting. invested the case with un- usual interest.
 Arthur NJ. Brown, leading citizen Of Salt Lake City, man of great wealth and for brief time United States sen ator by appointment Of the GoVernor' WAS A close friend to Mrs. Anna N. Bradley. This was some years ago when the frail-looking defendant was robust of form and beautiful of face For Browns sake she deserted her nus band. and although he would not heed her pleas to marry her, she clung to him. About a year ago Brown went from Utah to Washington. Mrs. Brad lev heard that he was going to marry Mrs. Anna c. Adams, mother Of Maud Adams. the great actress, and she fol- lowed him. At his room in Washing ton hotel they had loud talk, the re sult of which was that she was said to have shot him and he died i've days later He refused to say anything concerning the tragedy. Mrs. Bradley if Is said. never denied the shooting, nleading temporary insanity. Mrs. Adams has declared that there was no foundation for the report that she was 10 have married Brown.
 When the case came up for trial In Washington Mrs. Bradley's story upon the stand was that Brown won her love by protestations of undying affec- tIon and promise of marriage; that he urged her to get divorce and induced her to get her rousseau.
 The chief counsel for Mrs Bradley was Orlando W. Powers, native of New York, who went to Utah to live and Is the leader of the Gentle party there He was made associate justice of the Supreme Court of Utah by Pres ldent Cleveland. He has sat In the State Legislature and has been an un- successful candidate for Congress. Once he declined a United States Sen atorship for an unexpired term.
 The fury brought In verdict that she was not guilty of the alleged mur- der of former Senator Brown. The plea of temporary insanity at the time the killing took place won after an all afternoon and night deadlock of the fury.

-I believe you have found your TO nance, too"
 "Yes-I have" she said, frankly |; Ines real darling, and worships me as though were a goddess-here he is.' she added, as the door opened-and tall, good-looking, elderly man, fault lessly dressed, came leisurely into the room.
 My dearest" he said, and then stopped and looked at me.
 My friend, Miss Alingham," said Cora vanderson. Miss Alingham, may I introduce my husband?" I bowed and shook hands, and made the usual commonplace observations about the weather, and then I turned to go.
 Isn't he real nice" said Cora, as she accompanied me out to the lift.
 He is very good looking" l said, "and I seem to know his face; I believe I have met him out at some party" l stopped and thought for a puzzled mo- ment, and then In fash It came back to me "Why, Cora" I said, and then I stopped lamely-was It possible?- and could this be the Irishman we had gone to see at the workhouse? No, 1t couldn't be-and yet one had heard of such things. If 1t was so, how on earth had she found him out, and what a reward 1t was for her kindness to an utter stranger to find her romance and title as well?
 Do you remember him? I nodded. Yes" I said, q remem- Der now-but how did you ever find out who he was; did he tell you his name when you went to see him? It seems too impossible for anything"
 "Yes." she said. laughing, "he told me his story, and he thinks that no one else knows 1t, and he thinks too that only met him quite by chance, dear old thing"
 And didn't you?" as asked, in much astonishment. Do you mean to say you knew he was there when you | went?"
 "Yes,' she said. "I heard about him through a friend of mine, and I went down. only went to sample him, you know-but, well. you see what he is,' she added, blushing with real love and pride. q went to try and make TO- nance and found one ready made for me-a real lovely one too, and I'm go- ing to take him over to poppa," and before had recovered my breath she had said good-by and slipped back again to their sitting room.

A FAMOUS ROAD.
India's Tree Bordered Highway
 1900 Miles in Length.

India's Tree Bordered Highway
 1,2OO Miles in Length.
 The road I have in my mind Is in India and stretches 1,20O miles from Lahore to Calcutta. It is the famous Grand Trunk road. Let me explain its nature, though one cannot do so by comparison, for there Is no road of five It. It Is level. Indeed, there Is not above a mile the whole distance where even a lady need dlsmount to walk. The material with which 1t is made Is called kunker, and if you care to turn that word into concrete you have an idea of what It Is like. It Is exceed lngly hard and as smooth as pre- pared pavement. There Is no dust. When I first got on this road and en- joyed the luxury of easy travelling I said, This Is magnificent. but In lit tie time suppose 1t will become gritty and uneven" I went 50, 100 miles, 200 miles, 5o0 600, TOO miles, and 1t was always the same, with not even small stone to give jog Nearly the whole of the way is lined with double row of majestic trees.
 With two friends rode across India during the hottest time of the year, in April and May, and was never serious ly inconyenienced by the heat, for at pace of fifteen miles an hour one could create a draft.-Chambers Journal.

Dr. Forbes Winslow has found in studying statistics of insanity that locomotive engineers and fremen are unusually apt to become mentally de ranged In a list of seventy-four trades and professions that of the engineers stands seventh from the top in this respect. As records of 10000 engineers and firemen entered into these statis- tics, they have a good basis of relia- bility. The three exceptionally destruct- i've accidents to passenger trains In England In the last year or two, those of Salisbury, Grantham and Shrews- bury, have all been due to failures of thoroughly reliable engineers to see signals or to judge correctly their speed and position at critical moments. Naturally there Is active discussion of the strain which Is being put on en- gineers by their service. and of the ex- tent to which they weaken, If not to the point of insanity. at least to that of unreliability of attention during their work. The railway unions have eIIpudsIZeu tue dcdfS icluii ciiSheo oA the roads upon the engineers In the way of making time, and the roads have tried to place all the blame upon the men. It Is the conclusion of Keigh- ley Snowden. writing In one of the cur rent British reviews, based upon con- elusive reports as to the causes of all three of the accidents In question, that the engineers of fast express trains have literally more work than they can hope to do thoroughly and unfall- lngly. What between making time, caring for the running of their compli- cated machine, and watching out for danger signals, they are burdened be- yond the limit And his remedy Is that either a system of automatic signals must be adopted on all lines running fast trains, or else that the fast trains must be given three men to run them instead of two; one of those three hay ing the sole duty of watching out for the signals. The installation of auto matic signals Is expensive and cannot be done In a day. Where 1t Is most needed by proof of experience the three man substitute would be perhaps a req sonable temporary expedlent Certainly the fact that two men were enough to run twenty; ;mile-an-hour train a gen. eration ago Is no argument against the need of three men on many trains to- day.

Attained His Object.

Mir. Chamberlain was once delivering a rousing speech in Birmingham to an audience So tightly packed together that no one could possibly get In or out.
 Suddenly In the middle of the hall arose a scowling man, relates the Lon don Globe.
 What did MT. Gladstone say in 1S72?' he howled.
 Turn him out.' shouted the audi ence.
 Three men hurled the lnterrupter a few yards and others hustled him into the street. A friend who had been at the meeting came upon him later in the day.
 What did Mir. Gladstone say in 1S72Y asked the friend.
 "I don't know" said the man. T haven't d notion. Only I'd got terri- ble toothache, and couldn't butt my way through the crowd, so the only thing to do was to get thrown out"
Alaska sentinel., 1908-01-23

"I am afraid you'll find it place of deadly uninterest, full of disappoint- ed, elderly people who have played and lost In the game of life; some of them cheerful and happy, its true, most of them full of little grievances. and, be sides-everything Is so cut and dried and ruled and directed in a workhouse that 1t gives you the impression of mere machinery. Nurses and caps, and uniforms everywhere. There's none of your beloved romance In one of our warehouses, fear"
 Now, that's just where l differ" said Mrs. Vanderson. You're real bright, but you don't know about ev- erythlng" This was a snub so charm Ingly delivered that I only smiled as I took 1t meekly as we sped quickly for ward on our mission of charity.
 Apparently Mrs. Yanderson was ex- pected at the workhouse, for we were ushered in with some ceremony and shown over the wards, and through the infirmary, too. Cora has delightful way with people, and she spoke a few words tieftly here and there and gave the sick the flowers she had brought and then we went on through the mems ward, and she crossed over to a tall, still good-looking man of about 50 or 60, and took seat beside him as though, indeed, they were already friends. He looked so out of keeping with his surroundings that asked the nurse to tell me who he was, and how he had come down in the world, but at this moment Cora Yanderson got up, and, coming to me- drew me on one side for a moment.
 q know all about this old man." she said. "I saw him last week when came-a friend brought me here," she added by way of explanation, and she told me all his story. He lost his money through specuating, and he was brought here Ill and starving from his lodgings. When he Is well he will have to be sent out to begin the fight over again."
 "A hard fight for any man of that age-an almost impossible one for a gentleman, as he appears to be-" l said.
 "Oh. he's a gentleman right enough" she said, land now I'm going right over to talk to him." and in her pretty way she went back to the elderly man, who rose, his face flushing deeply, whether with shame or pleasure did not know.
 He is an Irishman," said.the nurse, as we walked on and left them talking
