TELL CHARACTER BY M0LEOS0PHY A Science That Is As Old As
 Palmistry SAYS MODERN PROPHET Characteristic of Individuals Is Shown by Position and Color of MoIes.
 Some of the Rules
 of the Art.
rom the Providence Journal.

From the Providence Journal.
 There are all sorts of ways of discov- ering other peoples characters. Some individuals feel your bumps, others gaze on the lines of your hand, others, again, do something mysterious with tho stars and arithmetical calculations. But Harry de Windt--a mighty traveller and won drous story teller of England-has re- discovered a science of character dvina- tion which he asserts is every bit as old as palmistry.
 If you have a mole on your face, MT. de Windt can tell you exactly what your character is by its color and its posi- tion, says the London Express. He does this by code of knowledge which he calls "Moleosophy,'' and in which, as he tells us in the dedication of his little book, 'Moles and Their Meaning" Mir Haddon Chambers, the dramatist, also believes.
 Accordingto MT. de Windt, "wise and learned Indians in old times,' when they wanted to engage clerk or a general servant. just examined the moles, and they knew at once whether they were making a wise or foolish choice. And in order to give moderns the same chance he supplies us with a most interesting code.
 To begin with, he asserts:
 "The science of 'Moleosophy' is based upon one primary (and very important theory (one may call it fact), this being that every mole upon the face of man or woman has upon some other DOT ton of the body corresponding birth mark the position of which can general 1tr I, tod tx-itl efa rf1 1it,er
 For example. if you have a mole on the upper center of the brow you are almost certain to have another on the right arm just under the elbow, while if you have one on the left brow you will probably find it's fellow under the lower left rib. all of which. of course, is eminently in teresting and important. But the mean ing of the mole is probably of even greater importance.
 Let us take the first example, which Is the mole in the center of the brow. If you are a man and have this center brow mole, and if it Is black--color, by the way is of no importance to the female mole-the following is your fortune:
 "An anxious and troubled youth. with endurance of considerable diversity of every kind up till middle age. retarded prosperity eventually acquired by the subjects own exertions."
 But, be 1t noted. mole on the center of the brow is much kinder if you are lady. It implies:
 "A happy and unclouded existence. A considerable fortune increased by a leg acy from relative. A peril from water, either by accident or disease (dropsy), toward the 3Oth year. This eff an acci- denD will be survived for many years. The subject should wear the beryl and garnet"

 story, said to be characteristic, is told of an Arkanses judge. It seems that when he convened court at one of the towns on his circuit it was found that no pens, ink, or paper had been provided, and, upon inquiry, it devel- oped that no county funds were avail- able for this purpose. The judge ex- pressed himself somewhat forcefulIy. then drew some money from his own pocket. He was about to hand this to the clerk, when a visiting lawyer, a high priced. imported article, brought on to defend case of some impor- tance, spoke up, in an aside plainly audible over the room.
 Well" he remarked with infinite contempt, I've seen some pretty bad courts, but this-well, this is thelimit."
 The old judge flushed darkly.
 You are fined $25 for. contempt, sir! Hand the money to the clerkn' he said, and when the pompous visitor had humbly complied. he continued:
 Now MT. Clerk, go out and get what pens, ink and paper the court may re- quire, and if there is anything left over. you can give the gentleman his change"

the winter months and she should be quite sure always to wear rubies.
 Of the man with mole on the cen- ter of the right cheek MT. de Windt tells us:
 "A man of great voice, a. clever ora tor, but addicted to gluttony. One lowly born, yet will attain high social dis tinction on account of his intellectual powers and the love and political in- fiuence of married woman of exalted position--a great lady at court"
 The gentleman who has mole on the bridge of his nose should be very careful what he eats, for it implies:
 Peril of fatal but lingering mal- ady connected with the stomach and liver, which will only be averted by great care in diet"
 Altogether MT. de Windt has supplied another amusement for winter even- ings.

 plies "a long but rather chequered exist ence;" but the upper center is quite an- other story. It means:
 "A successful military career, and good fortune, accruing from four footed beasts" (horse racing presuma- bly, meanD and games of chance. Great prosperity is shown by means of fire, when that element is used for the fusing and producing of metals"
 Furth ermore, it should be added that this particular mole must be honey col ored for if it is black it carries with it great peril from riding on horseback or moving rapidly through the air" The owner of a black mole on the upper center should, therefore, avoid follow ing the profession of a jockey or of becoming the owner of a flying ma chine. Nor should he be a window cleaner.
 Now we come to the lady with this mole. She will not be beautiful, but she will have talent. She will proba- ply write plays or compose music, and acquire great riches thereby; but, alas and alack! she will possess a caustic tongue and will have few freinds! She is advised to wear sapphires, presum- ably if she can afford them, and is seriously warned against marrying a gentleman with mole under his right eye.
 The lady with one mole on the right brow and another just below the right lower rib is sure to marry foreigner but the comfortable condition is made that the foreigner will be devoted and faithful husband
 But the poor gentleman with the mole on the left brow and another just un- der the left shoulder blade. if thu mole be black, Is condemned to. endure a sentence of imprisonment of some years duration.
 A young man about to marry should avoid the lady with the mole on the left blow, because this may denote "a great jealousy when she is past 20, which will make her most furious, with a desire to kill her own husband"
 The man with mole on the left brow and another on the left wrist will have a peevish nature, and the lady with the same combination will run great danger of death from a contagi- ous disease.
 Then we come to the gentleman with a mole on the left brow and another just over the left hip. He will have a most unpleasant life. He will spend all his money in the law courts and quarrel with his family. and he will find himself when he is becoming mid dle-aged, with ruin staring him in the face Then fortune will turn. He will be saved by brilliant marriage with widow older than himself and of different nationality.

dence Is Discovered,

OMAHA. Neb. December 1O-After thir-
teen hours deliberation. the jury in the
case of Charles E. Davis, charged with
the murder. on the morning of September
2. Of DR.. Frederick T. Rustin. at 6:15 this
morning agreed upon a verdict of not
guilty. Two hours later Judge Sears re-
ceived the verdict and ordered the dis
charge of the prisoner. 1t required nine
teen ballots to reach an agreement. The
first stood eleven to one for acquittal of
the charge of murder in the first degree.
The. lone juror maintained his position for
four ballots, and after that was joined
by another in voting for conviction on a
lesser charge.
The case had attracted unusual attention
not only because Of the prominence of the
victim of.the killing. who was one of the
leading physicians and surgeons of the
city, and the mystery surrounding the
tragedy, but because of 1.-THE family con-
nections Of the defendant.

officials of that institution, and is related

Mode OF Procedure

The question as to the mode of proce-
dure which arose at Mondays session Of
the commission was argued at length at
the hearing yesterday. The commission
ers determined to leave the settlement of
the controversy to Justice Anderson.
The government claims that the con-
demnation is to be considered. as one
case and that the property owners of the
entire five squares shall first present tes-
timony as to value before the government
is to be called on to bring its expert
witnesses before the commission. The
property holders oppose this and seek
either to have each square disposed of or
to have the testimony concerning each
holding exhausted before proceeding With
the property of the adjoining owner
!. The instruction given by the court is
not sufficiently definite to determine the
question The instruction is general and
orders the government to give It's bound
ary testimony the owners to give valu-
alton evidence and then the government
to be heard.

WRIGHT USES NEW DEVICE.
Noted Pianist Makes Series Of Sue
cessful Flights in France.

LIE MANS, France. December 1O.-Wil-
bur Wright. the American aeroplanist OF
Dayton, Ohio. made series Of successful
flights here yesterday. Four members
Of the British Aero Club went aloft sepa-
rately with Mr.. Wright as passengers.
None Of the flights was marred by acct
dent.
Mr. Wright employed for the first time
yesterday an ingenious device. consisting
of a horizontal chain connecting the two
propellers of his aeroplane, designed to
insure equilibrium and safe landing in
case Of the breaking of one Of these pro-
peller chains.
Orvlle Wright, whose immediate de-
parture for France. was announced about
a fortnight ago, says that he has not yet
definitely decided about going abroad. In
communicating with friends in Washing
ton he said that he had incidentally men,
toned the possibility of going abroad in
the presence Of a local reporter. He
added: II said particularly that did not
know when / should be able to 60, but
the reporter apparently did, and I see
that he has me already started. This is
rather surprise to some of my friends
who see me daily hobbling about on
crutches."
1t is possible that Orville Wright may
60 abroad about the first of the year
Wilbur wants to consult with him and
cannot spare the time to come home, and
1t is. therefore. probable that Orville will
go to France to see him.
