brilliant, as well as the most popular
of all oratorios. The Messiah was
begun on the 22nd of August 1741,
and completed on the 14th of the
next month so that this great master
piece was composed In the marvel
lously short space of twenty-thrce
days. The theme of the oratorio is
the divine history of the life OF christ,
told with exquisite Interpretation IN
both words and music. Three parts
go to make up the oratorio. In the
first part, the coming of the Saviour
Is treated. In the second and more
important part. the life, suiferlnSs
and resurrection of our Lord are set
forth. The third part is devoted to
the contem mplation of "things that
shall be hereafter" Nearly the whole
work Is made up OF airs and recita-
tives of great brilliance, requiring
careful interpretation. The solos OF
the work are eXquisitely beautiful
and the ohoruses are magnificent in
their sublime harmony.

will be the first disposed OF, then
the accused woman's ncighbors will
be called to testify to her alleged in
difference to her husbands sickness.
The state brought cut by the
first witness, w. Z. Wolfe, that
Schcnk was well before he went
abroad last summer and that he was
taken III two days after his return,
presumably when the alleged poison
plot began. Wolfe was Schcnk's con-
stant companion.
Dr. ID. Il. Best told Of the early
stages of the mllionairc's sickness.
Dr. Gregory Ackerman. who found
the first symptoms of actual poison
ing in SchenlTs system. traced the
malady's progress to the time when
the packer was removed from his
home to hospital.
Just before the noon adjournment
the state called DIR. Frank Lc Moyno
Hupp. This physician first aroused
the Schcnl; family's suspicious against
Mrs. Schenk. His testimony is ex-
pocted to last at least a day.
Not a dozen times during the morn
ing's session did Mrs. Schenk lift her
eyes from her Counscis table. Natural
ly phlegmatiC, the impression of
stolidity became marked as the TAX
ing of testimony proceeded. once
when Wolfe related how, without
emotion, she had expressed a. fear
of her husbands death, she sent n
quick look at the witness and the
corners Of 1er lips drew down sharp
ly.
Women fought to get into the court
room and constituted a third of the
audience. Audible remarks OF a
group seated near Mrs. SchenlS and
apparently directed at the prisoner
| brought a warning from the bench.
