BEAT TIE, sR, ON STAND.
Father of Alleged Murderer Brings
Tears to Latter's Eyes as He
TestifieS.

Henry Clay Beattie, ir., indicted for
the murder of his wife, sobbed like 8
child yesterday when his gray-haired
father in u low, tremulous voice, told
OF the domestic felicity OF his son and
the slain women, Louise Owen Beattie.
It was the first time that the stoical
calm of the prisoner had given away
during the trial.
The testimony OF the father in be-
half OF his son came as the dra-
matte close Of long days battle by
the defense against the evidence heap
ed up by the prosecution.
s As was stated in the Gazette, the
most surprising refutation OF the day
against Paul's testimony came when
Ernest H., Neblitt said that on Sunday,
July 16, he saw Paul Beattie on the
bridge where he worked handling a
single-barreled shotgun. Paul had
maintained ever since the coroner's
inquest that he disposed Of the shotgun
the same day he bought it, Saturday,
July Is, giving it to Henry.
Subsequently the defense brought
many witnesses to tell of Mr.. Neblitt's
good character and brought others to
attack Paul's veracitY.
E. II. Lewis, an employee of the
Beattie store in South Richmond, de-
clared that people spoke OF Paul Beat
tie rs the biggest liar in town.
Henry Clay Beattie, ST., father OF
the accused, was Intercepted for an
hour just before court adjourned for
the day. As he stepped to the wit
ness stand the prisoners face flushed.
The white haired man, his face deeply
wrinkled aud pale, spoke in voice
scarcely above a whisper. Counsel
leaned forward over the bench to lis
ten to him. He talked With great
effort, REFRESHING an eyer,rec"rrent
emotion. He told of how;his life had
been saddened by the death of some
of his children, how Henry in his
infancy had been neglected because
twins came into the family during
his boyhood aud described how on this
account and the death Of his own
wife be had grown closely attached to
his son.

FOOD RIOTS IN FRANCE.

A campaign, which has for its pur-
pose reduction of the high prices OF
food, was started yesterday 10 Paris.
Ten taxicabs, their occupants carrying
devices on which were inscribed de.
mands that the cost of necessaries be
lowered, paraded through the Champs
Elysees and other thoroughfares. Open
agitation, with some violence, is going
on in 80 or 40 towns and cities in
the northern departments, and the
movements spreading to other parts
Of France.
Banners bearing the inscription
Butter also Sous, or Revolution,
were borne in a procession OF 1900
persons, mostly women at Doual, De.
partment OF Nord. AS they marched,
the manifestants sang revolutionary
hymns.
Serious riots over the high prices
OF food occurred at St. Quentin last
night. The mob wrecked and pillaged
several butcher shops and set fire to
one of them i'll spite of the effort:
of the police and soldiers to maintain
order. An urgent request has been
sent for a1di;on troops.

mass meeting held at Williams Grove,
Pa, under the auspices OF the State
Grange, Patrons OF Husbandry. yester-
day, ouly casually mentioned the pres
idency and did not discuss reciprocity
and other national issues.
The reference to the presidency was
made toward the close OF the senator's
speech. In telling Of the battle for his
principles in his home state he SAID
that be could have been governor be.
fore he was elected if he had desired
the place for the honor alone. But. :"
said he, what is it to be governor or
president even for the honor of 1t
alone?"
After pause, he continued: As
to the presidency. will say only this:
Most anybody would like TO be presi-
dent. Most anybody who has good,
broad conception of the conditions that
exist in this country would like to be,
if he could work things out and bring
government back to the people OF
the United States. I would rather
have the little part I'm going to have,
and nobody on earth can take it away
from me; the little part I'm going to
have as one of the men who help to
make that movement the fundamental
thing in the life OF the American peo-
pie, I would rather have that and the
place it will give me in history and
what there will be legacy to my chill
dren, than to have the place that some
men who have been president will have
in the history OF this republic. J"

Wire Cuts.

Farm animals are frequently cut
with wire. When the injury is Sc
we're 1t will pay to employ vetri-
marian to dress the wound. Where
the services OF competent vetri-
marian can not be obtained. the farm
er will have to handle the case him
self, and this advice is for the farm
er in this predicament.
The first thing to get right is the
correct point of view. BY this I mean
to remember that remedies used are
for the purpose of assisting nature
and not to cure the disease. This
thought, II kept in mind, will elimi-
nate innumerable nostrums. suggested
by enterprising neighbors, and insure
an opportunity for the wound to heal
without harmful interference. We
are still much Interested in the foun-
tain of perpetual youth" and in the
realm Of medicine the laity are crop
ing blindly in the dark, seeking the
where" instead of thoughtfully in
quiring why.
The ordinary wound will heal if
not interfered with. This interference
may be from germs, parasites, med
ding with the wound. on the part of
the man or the animal itself.
The first thing to do of course,
would be to stop the hemorrhage.
This can be accomplished by a tight
bandage Of clean, white muslin, ap-
piled either over the wound or above
it. A thread may be run under the
artery by using a needle, and tied,
Do not use flour, dirt, cobwebs or
anything of that sort on the wound
they are unnecessary and ay pro-
duce a dangerous infection.
Having checked the bleeding, re-
move the clots of blood and cut off
the ragged edges Of tissue with clean
shears. A pan of antiseptic solution
should be provided, and one of the
best antiseptics on the farm is creo-
lin. Add teaspoonful of this to a
pint of water that has been boiled
and use it on the wound two or three
times day. Place the knife, shears,
etc., in this solution ,and wash the
hands before beginning to dress the
wound. See that there is good drain
age from the wound and do not tie
the wound up with covering of any
kind.
In about one week it may be well
to change to dry dressing. In the
meantime it will be well to get in
communication with some veterinar-
ian who will advise you in the case
from this time on.
/ did not mention sewing up the
wound for the reason that in ragged
cuts 1t is better not to do SO.
Remember that the principal thing
Is to get the wound healthy at the
start and then 1t will heal with very
little interference.
