crime was committed. The defense
objected 10 the request and Judge
Brown denied il.
District Attorney Taber then told
the jury what he expected to prove
on the part of the State. From his
statement. it appeared that the de-
PENDANT had premeditated the kill
ing for several days before she
fred the fatal shot. He did not
pare the defendant or her victim
in the statement of his case. At
the close of his statement. he again
asked that the jury be permitted to
view the premises. The defense
again objected on the grounds that
circumstances might develope DUR
ing the trial Of the a S that would
make it very improper for the jury
to view the premises.
Judge Brown then again over
ruled the objections and took a
short recess to enable the district
attorney to procure his exhibits.
When court reconvened. Judge
Brown stated that he had recon
sidered his ruling and would permit
the jury to view the premises.
Judge King then objected to any
further proceedings in the case on
the ground that the indictment did
not charge the commission of a
public o~ffense. Judge Brown
promptly overruled the objection
and the officers were sworn to take
charge of the jury while inspecting
the premises.
When the jury returned into
court, Luther Butler was called as
the first witness. He was questioned
closely by Judge King as to the APP
pearancc of the defendant when she
handed him the pistol, from which
she fired the bullet that killed Joe
Carroll. He was still on the stand
when the noon recess was taken.
AS there are about forty witnesses
subpoenaed the indications are that
the end of the trial is a long way
off.
Among the names called this
morning, was that of DR.. Gibson,
superintendent of the insane
asylum. He will testify as an ex-
pert on insanity.
The trial of Florence o. Hay on

brought out in the evidence so far.

THE WHITE CARNATION

"The White Carnation" which is
the official song of Mothers day,
will be sung through out the coun-
try next Sunday. The White Car
nauon," was written by Mrs. Baker
P. Lee of Los Angeles, for the
Mothers day observances in that
city last year. Mrs. Lee is the
organizer of the Order of Mother
hood and originator of the Mothers
fund. Her poem follows:
Was it for this through all the
countless years
The sun and dew poured spices in
your cup?
Was it for this, with patience and
with tears,
You garnered all your priceless
incense up?
Oh, white carnation, symbol of the
flesh,
Your bourgeoning at last has
found its own;
Today we break your ointment to
refresh
Our memory of mother, and of
home.
1t may be with soft fingers close
entwined
A golden head against her bosom
now,
1t may be distance, or a grave she
finds,
A man with furrowed face and
silvered brow.
But they are still her little ones,
as when
She braves the pangs of death
that they might live.
She periled all her life for them,
and then
Her overlooking heart and more
to give.
And we! What have we done to fill
her years?
How have we paid her sacrifice
and pain?
Oh, Father! for her love, her
hopes, her fears,
Have We any gift of recompense
not vain?
My mother, take these fragrant
flowers today,
In giving them I pray that I may
be,
To you, ere Gods still touch takes
you away,
All, all that you have ere been to
And If too late to win your loving
smile,
And you have risen pure, and white,
and true,
Twill only be for me a little while
Till may come and be at rest
with you.
And when mine eyes close in my
last long sleep.
To the strain of that sweet song,
your lullaby.
Let me place my head upon your
breast. and keep
My mother-then I'll know that
God is nigh.

This is due, however, tO no relaxation of the policy of Germany Austria. it seems, ex- pcats soon 10 rival Germany in the production of fertilizing salts, and the United states then will have two places from which to buy and thus obtain a measure of relief from the German potash monopoly.
 Consul General Charles Denby of Vii eana reports to the department of commerce and labor that an Austrian syndicate recently has been organized for the development of the salt depos- ifs near kalusz. in GalicLa. The Cali cia mines have been worked only to a limited extent and are known to be rich in ferttlizing and other salts. Mr. Denby says

THE LONE PRISONER.

Jesse Pomeroy, the Massachusetts degenerate, who fiendishly murdered young children when he was Is, has this week passed his 35th year in solitary at the Charlestown state pris- on. seeing only his mother and the prison officials. Some years after his first conviction public sympathy led to his discharge, and he soon commit ted murder in the same horrible man ner
 Pomeroy is now a man of fifty, his health failing, his frame emaciated, and the sight of one eye also entirely gone, but the mind which devised the fiendish tortures for which he was noted is still active and continually seeking for some means by which he may secure his release.
 Pomeroy is not allowed to enter the workshops. The other occupants of murderers' row detest and fear him, and he has no intercourse with them. His exercise is taken in the yard while the other convictS are in the work shop
 He has attempted to break out of prison several times; and persistent efforts have been made to have him pardoned, but the chances are that he would repeat his crime, since the hor rible butchery of children is mania with him.

WHEN WE HEAR FROM MAINE.

whsn we hear from Maine tomor- row the sound will be a significant sound. not 8 bugaboo like the Moodus noises Maine is all right. The re- publicans Of the country are not reck- oning as progress the election Of dem ocrats to office. for they have the sense to see that the choice of pro- gressfvs republicans will be better. New Hampshire in this respect set a very good example, as heve other states. President Taft entered the campaign in good form ard has by his quiet, candid methods brought about an abiding peace, without any attempt at com promise. He has sim ply maintained the position that free dom of view within the limi ts of party definition is allowable. and he has placed his irnprfmatur upon legislation that delighted the hearts of the pro Eressives. while he has refrafned from radical positions and expressions, to tho delight of the regulars. He has been the wise and conservative inter prster of what Mir. Roosevelt has been pleased to call the new federalism.
 The question is not whether the next congress shall have democratic majority. bat whether the majority shall be a regular or a progressive republican majority. Maine is in step with It's party and has been doing something more than marking time IL e barely possible that there may be a falling of in the vote but Maine is reliably republican and as it has gone for the past sixty years it is going today.

Experiences of a Rhodes Scholar.

After three years sojourn at OK ford a Philadelphian who won a Rhodes scholarship has returned and is not highly enthusiastic over the benefits he has received. His objec- ton to the English university system seems to be that it is not compul- sorry enough in curriculum and plays up the social rather than the academic life He says he only saw tutor thrice in the three years he was in Oxford. This must have been to some extent his own fault, but in general one can sympatfize with the young man who feels that he has not profited as much from the largess of MT. Rhodes as he expected.
 About ninety five per cent. of the men who go to the universities at OK ford and Cambridge have no desire to secure academic honors. It is expect ed that by the time he has entered. the young man will have acquired the funfamentals of education and that he Is now in a position to absorb cul- ture. Life at Oxford is wholly unlike anything in this country There are no recitations, com paratively few lec- lures and lots of individual freedom Giving breakfasts" is one of the most important features of university ca reer, and it involves much time and expense, not to mention careful thought According as you get the right people at your breakfasts your future is assured in England from a social point of view
 But the Philadelphia boy who comes back disappointed probably did not know much about Oxford or the Rhodes will when he set out upon his journey. Rhodes was not in the busi- ness of training up technical experts or even college professors for those parts of the world where his bounty was bestowed His idea was expressed in a rather cumbersome manner in his will but he was principally concerned with bringing the great English speaking countries into closer touch with each other, to the end that they might have a mutual appreciation of each other and especially a friendship for the mother country. He wanted a closer harmony of thought than ex- isted in his day. While his plan has been carried out with general satis- faction it must be said that it is en- tirely too early to make any judgment upon the results accomplished That will take Philadelphia Inquirer.

PADS AND FASHIONS.

Velvet and velveteen give promise of being very fashionable for the more dressy coat suits.
 A handsome costume of soft blue ribbon is embroidered with conven- tional design in white crysa1 beads.
 Black velvet hat facing is. so re- port has it, to be even more popular on autumn hats than it has been in summer millinery,
 For early fall wear with the dressy toilet middleaged women are going to use the black chantilly coat lined with chiffon and silk.
 Tortoise shell increases in favor. Card cases, vanity boxes, as well as lorsnettes parasol handles and buck les are made of it.
 Types of the narrow skirt, now the vogue in Paris, are seen on this side of the Atlantic, but the most pro- nounced effects are seen oftener in suits than in dresses

The Sand Baq.

One of the most convenient arti- cles to be used in a sickroom is a sand bag. Get some clean, fine sand, dry it thoroughly in a kettle on the stove.
 Make a bag about eight inches square. of flannel, fill it with dry sand, sew the opening carefully togetker, and cover the bag with cotton or linen. This will prevent the sand from sitting out, and will also enable you to heat the bag quickly by placing it in the oven or even on the top of the stove.
 After once using this you will never attempt to warm the feet or hands of a sick person with a bottle of hot water or a brick The sand holds the heat a long time, and the bag can be tucked up to the back without hurt ing the invalid
 It is a good plan to make two or three of the bags and keep them on hand, ready for use at any time when needed.

Lemon MarmaIade.

It is still the season for preserving. Not only the season for preserving our health in the winter, but all kinds of fruits for use in the ensuing months. For instance, for lemon marmalade we take fresh, clean lemons and boil them in as much water as will cover them for two hours. Pour off the wa ter once or twice during that time and replace it with fresh boiling wa ter Drain the lemons and cut them into thin slices, leaving out all the pips. Weigh the fE1it aad allow two pounds of loaf sugar and d pint of the water the lemons were boiled in to every pound of fruit. Boil the sugar and water for ten minutes. Put in the pulp etc. and boil together for half an hour.

There is a decided latitude in the decrees of fashion as regards the exact position of the belt. One sees them worn defining the waist line to nice ty. while, other belts quite as modishly placed are above or below the waist line, according to the style of the gown. Speaking of belts, it is whis- pered that this fall will see the com fortable shirt waist no longer worn trig and smooth at the waist line. One may hope that such @ departure will be short-lived.

Nalance fnr Bed

One woman has hit upon a clever plan of keeping a valance in place on the bed. She takes piece of un- bleached sheeting just the size of the bed. and then shrinks it. To this she sews the valance. The cover is spread over the springs and under the mat tress, so that it is held firmly in place by the bedding. If the valance is of sheer material so that 1t will require frequent laundering, she fastens it to the sheeting by means of snap fasten- CTS or by means of buttons and but ton holes
