ant Against Lawyer Was
Too Ill to Appear.

The formal hearing of the three
charges of obtaining money under false
pretenses, on which Rudolph A. Braun
a lawyer, was arrested yesterday, was

he had given Braun $100 to pay a judg-
ment on forfeited bond, and that
Braun had failed to make the payment
in consequence of which Stachel had to
serve seven days in Jail, was begun,
but was put over because Stachel> had
no witnesses to the transaction.
James r. McDermit, representins
Braun, declared that the s100 had been
paid TO Braun as a retaining fee, and
not to pay the Judgment. Stachel said
he could prove otherwise by his wife,
who is now i'll. and the case went
over.
As the Stachel case had been sched
uled for the first hearing, the charges
made by Mrs. Kathrina Haitmair and
George D. Poppas were not ready. Mrs.
Haitmair charges in her complaint that
Braun, as her counsel wrongfully OBJ
tanned $500 from her, and Poppas
charges that he cashed $50 check on
which the bank would not give him the
money.

DEMANDS $1,000
FOR MISUSE Of
HER GIRLS PHOTO
Newark Child's Pictures Used in
Connection With "Curse

CHARLES E. BLANEY is
, NAMED AS DEFENDANT
Likeness Sold in Theatre With
out Consent of Mrs.
School.

The use of the photograph of little
Maria School for the purpose of show
ing men how good it is to let drink
alone, is worth $1,000 to her mother
according to the suit started in the
Supreme Court by Mrs. John School, of
4G6 Washington street. against Charles
E. Blaney, the theatrical man.
The action dates from January, 1901
when 'The Curse of Drink" was pro-
duced at Blaney's Theatre. In this
melodrama a little child, Minerva, was
the real star, and she made such an
impression on the audiences that there
was always much weeping and great
sympathy for the child OF course, she
was the child of a drunkard, and the
abuse she received set the galleries wild
with Kisses for the drunken father and
pathetic means from the tender ladies
in the lower part of the house.
Between the acts, when the company
played in Newark. the ushers sold what
purported to photographs of Little

ADMITS He SLEW
MAN AFTER GIRL
MAKES CONFESSION
Pennsylvania Farmer Breaks
Down and SuBstantiates
Maids Story.
KILLED TRAMP AND
BURIED HIM In FARM
Conscience Troubles Miss Taw-
ser So She Couldn't Keep
\, the Secret.

YORK, Pa, Jan. 14.-Harry Keener,
York county farmer, today confessed
that the story told by girl of this city
that ne had killed man ON his farm
last July is true. The identity of the
victim is still wrapped in mystery, but
the police hope tc clear up missing
points during the day
The girl accused Keener while she
was lying on what was believed to be
her death bed, but the young farmer
steadfastly maintained his innocence
until this morning, when mentally tor
tured by the sweating process he was
put through and the narrowing expert
ence of the last few days, he broke
down and told the police that he had
killed man and described what he
had done with the body.
The girl in the case is Miss Lorenza
Tawser, aged Is years. Last summer
she was employed on Keener's farm,
near Seven Valleys. a short distance
from this city. Her reason for not
telling of the killing sooner, she said,
was that she had been sworn to secrecy
by keener and was afraid to divulge
1t. The local authorities were imme-
diately notified and as a result Keener
was taken into custody last Sunday.
The girl said that after Keener had
killed the man he buried the body in
the orchard of the farm, and that he
had painted the places where blood
had spilled. An immediate investiga-
tion was started. and for three days
twenty-five men under the direction Of
the district attorney searched the farm
and corroborated all the girls state
ments except the burial of the body.
The entire orchard had been plowed up
to a depth of three OF four feet. While
this was going on Keener was con-
stantly "sweated' by the police.

SEEK To BREAK
100000 WILL OF
JOHN D. NESLER
Claimed in Court that Last Tes-
lament Was Not Proper
ly Signed.

Argument was heard before Judge
Davis in theN Orphans Court today on
the attack made on John d. Nesler
about 100000. and at it's close the court
reserved decision.
Nesler was d wealthy jewelry manu-
facturer, and left two wills, that OF
1901. the latest, being attacked on the
ground that 1t was not properly exc
cuted. Ralph E. Lum. Frank T.
Bradner and Charles G, Pilgrim repre-
sented the attacking parties. saying
that the will was not signed according
to law. while Arthur r. Denman, for
the proponents, insisted that 1t was.
There are no less than three caveats
pending against the will.
Some time after Nesler died, June 16
last, a will made in October, 1901, was
offered for probate, but soon came a
statement, made by John P. Mckenzie,
one of the witnesses, to the effect that
he did not see Nesler sign the docu-
ment, as the law provides. Mrs e. A.
Schaef, now the wife of Charles F.
Nesler. nephew of the testator, was
the other witness. He filed one of the
caveats, alleging that the will is not
legal for the reason named, while Cor
nelius and Dr. Charles D. MandevilIe,
nephews, filed the others.
Hardly had these papers been pre-
pared when James C. Bioren. a half
brother of the testator, appeared in
the surrogate's office with another will.
dated June %. 1888. If this can be
proven to have been legally executed
it will take precedence of the will of
1901.
Bequests for $1,000 each are made to
these relatives in the last named will:
Francis J. Benedict, Cornelius, Kate
and Charles D. Vaudeville, Francis O.
Ealstead. Emma ]. Mills, Frederick
Barnett, Frederick F., James c. and

Provisions for relatives and the
widow, who has since died, are in the

OUR BULB FARM.

A recent issue of the Bellingham
Herald gave an illustrated article
concerning the government bulb ex-
perimental farm near that city. Bulbs
have been grown in that locality about
fifteen years, and their excellence at
tracted such attention that ten acre
tract was placed at the disposal OF
the government last year. The first
beds were made last fall, $4,000 bulbs
from the experimental farms at
Washington, d. c., and above 500
varieties of tulip, hyacinth and mar
cissus plants are now planted. Con-
ditions are similar to those of Hol-
land but the available area near Pu-
get Sound for bulb growing is much
larger than there.
This farm was located on the pledge
of the Bellingham Chamber of Com
merce to furnish permanent build
ings for the proper reception and
care of the bulbs. About $500 are re-
quired for that purpose. When this
is accomplished the government will
provide an annual appropriation for
it's support. If the buildings and the
necessary improvements are not forth
coming at once the government is
likely to withdraw the experiment
station.
George Gibbs, the veteran bulb
grower of Clearbrook, believes that
the Holland bulb industry of this state
has a great future and that the sue
cessful display of the government gar
dens near Marietta this year is only
a small beginning

CANNING HINTS.

1t is not necessary to have Gamer
in order to have success with canning
your vegetables, though Gamer is
great labor saver and I would urge
everyone to have one if possible. IN
canning, the first thing is to be sure
that the cans or jars are absolutely
clean. In order to insure this, after
they have been washed and look clean
to you, give them an extra scalding.
Keep the tops in boiling water until
you want to use them, and every year
get fresh rubbers for your jars. To
can tomatoes, scald them so as to be
able to remove the skin; remove all
specks and use only firm tomatoes.
Put on the fire and let them stay till
thoroughly hot, but do not let them
boil. Just before they reach the boil
ing point, take from the fire and puc
into the jars Seal each jar as it is
filled; do not fill all and then seal.
If you are a little uncertain about
the jars being perfectly alright, seal
with sealing wax. To can beans, pre-
pare the beans Immediately, only Go
not boil them quite so long. Put d
tea cup of vinegar to every peck of
beans. Before they are perfectly
tender remove from the fire and put
at once into jars, and seal while hot.
| have never been successful in can
ming strawberries, but my strawberry
preserves are made as follows: To
each pound of fruit allow a pound of
sugar. Put together on the fire and
cook rapidly, if you do not want the
berries to be very dark. Let them
boil till the juice thickens, put into
jars and do not seal until they are
cold.

HOUSEKEEPING.

The art of housekeeping is one
which deserves special mention.
In Germany the daughters of the
finest families are sent to someone
who is competent, and who teaches
them the art of housewifery; and a
girl would be ashamed to be married
if she was not good housekeeper.
Housekeeping ranks as a profession
as truly as any other occupation.
There is a far greater demand for
women who understand housekeeping
than for those who are advanced in
the art of dancing.
Domestic Economy should be stud
led by all women.
Clean and sanitary houses, health
full meals, system in homework, and
an attractive and cheerful home can
do more to promote good health than
any physician.
l want to impress upon the girls
that homework is a fine, honorable
work, and that they should know how
to do it in the easiest way, so as to
make it a real pleasure.

fore and many of our readers have
