A SPOON SHAKER.
Straight From coffeedom.

Coffee can marshall a good squadron
of enemies and some very hard ones to
overcome. A lady in Florida writes:
Il have always been very fond Of
good coffee. and for years drank it at
least three times a day. At last, how
ever, found that it was injuring me.

Titles In EnoIand.

Forty or fifty years ago few people
in England had titles. There were
only few decorations which entitled
their owners to put the prefix Sir"
before their names. We all of us
looked down with lofty contempt upon
the counts and barons that were so
plentiful in continental countries. Now
we can do so no longer, for probably
there is no other country in the world
where the traffic in titles is so open
and SO indecent as in England What

A music teacher in New England

She couldn't make them under

The Woman in the Next Car.

The Woman In the Next Car.
With the departure of the conduc-
tor and the doctor, the group around
lower ten broke up, to reform in
smaller knots through the car. The
porter remained on guard. With
something of relief / sank into a seat.
I wanted to think, to try to remember
the details OF the previous night But
my inquisitive acquaintance had other
intentions. He came up and sat down
beside me. Like the conductor, he had
taken notes of the dead mans be-
longings, his name, address. clothing
and the general circumstances Of the
crime. Now with his little notebook
open before him, he prepared to en-
joy the minor sensation of the rob
berry.

until she has given Lydia E. Pinkham's

GOAIPERS WAS VERY CAUSTIC.
Pleas of Guilty Follow His Defense
OF McNamaruS.

Atlanta, Dec. samuel Gompers.
president Of the American Federation
Of Trades, left Atlanta for Washing
ton, where he will remain a day or
two before going to Albany, N. Y, to
attend a session of the labor commits
sion.
For thirty years Samuel Gompers
has been at the head of the organized
labor in America, while all his life he
has been prominent figure and a
hard worker in advancing the inter-
ests Of the wage Garner. Few men
in the world are better posted on
conditions prevailing In labor circles.
Not only has he studied deeply and
thoroughly the situation in America
but has toured nearly every foreign
country, leisurely making exhaustive
Investigations wherever he vert.
Knows McNamnras Wen.
81 know the McNamaras well =" said
Mr.. Gompers at the Kimball yester-
day morning. 81 have come in con-
tact with both Of them in a business
way and socially, and know beyond
all doubt they are not guilty Of that
foul crime. They are both men of
education and refinement, and both
condemn the destruction Of The
Times building as strenuously as
Gen. Otis himself. j. J. Mcnamara
is as fine a specimen Of manhood as
one would meet in a days travel. He
is handsome, manly and as gentle and
kind of heart as woman. To even
suspect these two men of being guilty
of an offense Of that kind is revolt
ing"
Claims it Was Fraud.
When Mr.. Gompers was told of the
arrest Of parties yesterday in Los An
geles charged with intention to bribe
possible juror. Mr.. Gompers said
he had not had time to read the
morning paper. But when the situa-
tion was explained, he remarked:
81 am not surprised in the least.
The prosecution is bending every eff
fort to convict those men and they
will stoop to any methods to accom-
plish their purpose. It's simply ano-
ther plant like tho hidden dynamite
that was unearthed at indianapolis
shortly after the arrest Of the boys.
And that plant was so palpable that
it carried fraud on it's own face"

ers said that he had disposed Of that
matter fully in his reply to what the
detective had to say before the bank
ers. in New Orleans and at other
places the detective has advanced
those ideas.
"Of course organized labor will do
its part in helping the McNamaras, j"
said Mr.. Gompers, "but not the way
that detectives say. We have no
need Of a fund anywhere near what
Burns asserts"
