OPENING Of THE SEASON.
^’Twelfth Night” at the Grand Opera
House Next Thursday.
Manager John B. Coldsmith is all
smiles over his good fortune in having
secured Chipman Brothers’ magnificent
production of Shakespeare’s "Twelfth
Night” for the opening attraction on
Thursday evening of next week, Sep-tember
29th, at the Grand Opera House.
This is one of the cleverest comedies
ever written and will, in this instance,
be produced by a company of players
who have won fame in Shakespearian
roles. At their head is Miss Charlotte
Barnett who will appear as “Viola.”
Her support is unusually strong and
when to this are added the beautiful
costumes and scenery made specially
for this tour, local theater-goers can
rest assured that a rare treat is in store
for them.
Local Ball Field.
The Connellsville Elk ball team,
practically the R. A. outfit from that
place, came up Friday and defeated the
local Royal Arcanum boys 6 to 2. Smith
and Hatfield were the battery for the
home lads who lost through poor team
work due to a lack of practice.
The Crescents lost at the Youngwood
fair Friday to the Youngwood Y. M. C.
A. team. The score was 23 to 3.
The Texas A. C. defeated the Silver
Stars Saturday 7 to 0.

There will be a warm contest here to-morrow
afternoon between the local R

Democratic Hard Lines.
The Democratic nomination for State
Senator from this county continues to
go begging. The committee appointed
to fill vacancies on the ticket met at
Greensburg Saturday night and for-mally
tendered the nomination to Silas
A. Kline, Esq. He declined, and it is
possible that no candidate for the office
will be chosen.

Butler County Man Chosen for Congress
by District Democrats.
C. M Heineman was nominated for
Congress by the Democrats of theTwen
ty second district at a conference held
at the Seventh Avenue Hotel, Pittsburg,
Saturday evening. The meeting was a
brief and barmonioiiB one and assnran
ces are given that something more than
the full Democratic vote will be polled
for the candidate and for the national
Democratic ticket.
The name of Hon. John Latta, of
Greensburg, was presented by tbe con-ferees
of this county, but mainly as a
matter of form, he withdrawing after
the first ballot when the Butler county-man
was made tbe unanimous choice of
the conferees.

withdrawal was induced partly by the
belief that the factional differences in

MINSTREL SIIOW
OF THE ELKS
WAS ALL RIGHT
And Drew Two Houses That
Were Crowded,
MANY AMATEUR PERFORMERS
WHO WERE THE EQUALS OF PRO-FESSIONALS
ON THE STAGE.
Really Remarkable Showing Made by
the Local Lodge After Less Than two
Weeks’ Training Under the Direc-tion
of S. A. Grubbs Whose Costumes
and Scenery Were of the Dazzling
Order. Handsome Sum Realized
From the Entertainment by the
Mount Pleasant Horn Wearers.
The minstrel performance, given by
Mount Pleasant Elks Friday and Satur-day
last, not only packed the Grand
Oyera House upon both nights but de
lighted all who attended. The enter-tainment,
on the whole, waR a really
wonderful showing when it is recalled
that the performers had less than two
weeks' training under the '.direction of
S. A. Grubbs, of Chicago, and yet were
the equals, and in not a few instances,
the superiors of the average profes-sionals
in the burnt cork business.
The Windy City trainer has the happy
faculty of sizing up even a perfect
stranger at a glance, being thus able to
tell whether or not the object possesses
any thratrieal talent right on the jump.
If he discovers the slightest trace be
proceeds to develop it and the first thing
the victim knows he is doing his little
stunt like a man. It was this system
that built np a bang np company here
that, when backed with Mr. Grubb's
elegant costumes, fine scenery and an
orchestra, gave Mount Pleasant theater-goers
a first class minstrel show. The
program in full was:
The Minstrels 1 rotn the Boynl Count.
Urand Opening Potpourri.
Interlocutor, 8. A. Grubbs.
The
Men
COKE AND COAL.
Items of Interest Gathered From Both
Mine and Yard.
The Hecla Coke Company has begun
the erection of a barn 50x158 feet at its
new No. 8 plant.
The Frick company is preparing to
bnild two big reservoirs in Southern
Fayette county to BUpply the Kyle,
Wynn, Oliphantand Redstone plants.
The Colonial Coal & Coke Company,
whose mines are located ont from Lig-onier,
will begin shipping coal on Octo-ber
15, when the new railroad will be
opened for traffic. The event will be
made the occasion of a big celebration.
Some 200 emp’oyes of the Clyde Coal
Company, at Brownsville, struck Friday
for a checkweighman.
The coke output continues to increase
right along and, as men are becoming
more plentiful, it seems a mere matter
of time until every available oven will
be in blast.

jealousy. Mrs. Tice, who came from
Ohio, was visiting at Point Comfort
where her husband, who was a Clarks

yard Sunday evening and committed
tbe horrible double crime that had no

DEATHS OE THE WEEK
The Grim Reaper’s Work In This Place
and Viclnitv.
Mrs. Mary Griffith-Mechling, widow
of the late Lieutenant Frank Mechling,
of Governor Geary’s famous old regi-ment,
the Twenty-eighth Pennsylvania,
and the junior member of the well
known coach making firm, Galley &
Mechling. died Tuesday morning at her
West Main street home of a complica-tion
of diseases, aged 99 years. She had
been in ill health for some time and had
the attention of her only surviving sis-ter,
Mrs. Caldwell, of Pitcairn. The
immediate cause of death was heart
failure. Mrs. Mechling was of the high-est
type of Christian womanhood and
enjoyed a wide circle of loving friends.
She was a devout member of the First
Baptist church, whose pastor, Rev. C.
W. Haines, will conduct the funeral
services at the house at 2 o’clock this af-ternoon,
the interment to follow in the
cemetery. She also leaves one brother,
Harry Griffith, of Allegheny.
Another of Mount Pleasant’s highly
esteemed women, Mrs. Margaret War-den,
passed away at 8 o’clock this morn-ing
of heart trouble at her South Church
street home, the end following one of
the sinking spells, from which she bad
suffered at different times as noted in
these columns. She was the widow of
the late Mayor Samuel Warden and was
84 years of age on August 12th last.
There are five children surviving, all
living here—John A., Samuel N and
Misses Elizabeth, Martha and Alice.
Mrs. Warden was one of the oldest
members of the United Presbyterian
church, a quiet homebody, loved best by
those who knew her best. The funera
will take place from the house Saturday
afternoon at 2 o’clock.
W. S. Hays, of Hunker, who suffered
from a broken back for many years,
died Monday. He is survived by ten
children.
“SCOTTY” MclNDOE KILLED
While Trying to Jump a Moving Freight
Train at Smithton.
Robert, better known as “Scotty,
Mclndoe, a young man who formerly
lived here and whose wife died about a
year ago at Parfittown, was cut to pieces
near Smithton Tuesday night by
rapidly moving B. & O. freight train
which he tried to jump and thus escape
an armed posse of citizens pursuing
him and two companions charged with
having held up and robbed a miner
there earlier in the evening. The other
two alleged robbers surrendered.
The badly mutilated body will be
brought here today for burial which
will likely take place from the More-wood
home of the victim’s father, Jack
Mclndoe.
The Coop Had Been Visited the Night
Before When Eiftht Fowls Were
Taken, but the Robbers on Return-ing
Were Given a Warm Reception.
"Judy” Was Hit In the Breast and
Left Arm, but was Able to Visit the
Saloons as Usual tbe Same Day.
Harry, better known as “Judy,"
Kuhn, an East End young man who has
done considerable time behind the bars
for petty larceny and is the most notori-ous
chicken thief in this section, came
within an ace of having his light put out
shortly after 12 o’clock Monday morning
on East Washington street.
It seems that Kuhn, who had visited
the coop of I. C. Shaw, an employe of
the Fayette County Gas Company, the
night before and took eight chickens,
returned for the balance of the flock
with two unknown companions who es-caped
in the darkness. Kuhn had en-tered
the coop and had the heads wrung
off three pullets when his presence was
discovered by Mr. Shaw and his son,
Arthur. The former carried a 22 calibre
revolver and his son a 38 and they lost
no time getting their guns into action.
Knhn went down early in the engage-ment
with one of the smaller balls in
bis breast and a 38 through his left
arm, crying: “I’m shot!” Mr. Shaw
sent at once for surgical aid, the call
being answered by Dr. Miller. While
there were all sorts of rumors regarding
his condition, some having him dying,
the fact is that “Judy” was up and
around the same day, pnnishing as much
beer as usual. He complained some of
sore arm, but said his chest felt
first rate.

Judge Patton, of Armstrong county,
has continued the case of the Lindsay
Construction Company against West
moreland connty, asking pay for extra
work done on the foundation for the
proposed new court house. Controller
Brown, it will be remembered, refused

Parochial School Improvements.
Extensive improvements in the sys-tem
of the Catholic free parochial
schools in the Pittsburg diocese are
about to be made. The first one will be
the appointment of a general superin
tendent, probably, Rev. Thomas Devlin,
rector of the Holy Cross church, Pitts-burg.
The next step will be the estab-lishment
of a high school for the com
pletion of the system.
This Year’s Exhibition was Fully up to
the Standard.
The Youngwood fair was brought to
a successful close Friday despite Wed-nesday's
rain and Thursday’s cold wave.
The exhibits in all the different depart-ments
were fully up to the standard,

HORRIBLE
CRIME
Committed by a Jealous Cambria County
Miner Who Kills Ilis Wife and Fa-tally
Injures His Son.
THE INHIIMHH PERPETRATOR IS IR JAIL.
With perfect deliberateness Stephen Fellows, a miner of Barnesboro,
Cambria county, shot down his wife and 16-year-old son, Charles, in the
railroad station at that place just before the arrival of the tirst train on the C.
and C. branch last Thursday morning. Mrs. Fellows received three bullets
in various parts of the head, and died at 9:10 o’clock the same night. The
boy has a deep scalp wound, caused by a glancing shot, while another ball
passed from his right ear downward through the neck, and there is small
chance of saving his life.
The inhuman perpetrator allowed himself to be taken into custody without
resistance and pleaded not guilty to a charge of shooting with intent to kill.
He was held on the charge and taken to the Ebensburg jail that evening.
Jealousy of his wife, who was nearly 20 years younger than he, is said
to be the motive tor Fellows’s crime.

used many kinds of medicines for coughs
and colds in my family but never any |
thing so good as Foley’s Honey and Tar.
I cannot say too much in praise of it.

Biggest Department of the Great Exposi-tion
Ready For the Inspection of the
Army of Men Who Made Its
Creation Possible.
Now that crops have been or are be-ing
laid by, the farmer prepares for his
trip to the World’s Fair, a treat that
has long been promised him and for
which he has patiently wnited. No ex-position
has offered so many induce-ments
for tlie fanner’s presence ns tills
one at St. Louis, nor has any previous
exposition given the prominence and
apace to the subject of agriculture.
August and September are ostensibly
the farmer’s months at the Exposition,
for it is at this season that the agricul- I
ture exhibits are the freshest and best. 1
Products of tiie new crops are pouring
Into tlie booths from every state in the
Union, and additions are constantly
being made to tlie gorgeous display.
Headquarters for visiting farmers
may be found in every state section of
the great Agriculture Palace, but for
their special convenience there has Just
been completed a Grange House, situ-ated
in tlie south end of tlie building.
It is equipped with a reception room,
ladies’ retiring rooms and check rooms,
where parcels may be left free of
charge. Here will be kept a list of
moderate priced rooms to aid visiting
farmers and their families in procuring
accommodations.
The largest building on the grounds
Is the Palace of Agriculture, covering
twenty acres, while the Palace of Hor-ticulture
near by covers about a third
as much space. These two immense
structures are filled with exhibits of
the farm, garden and orchard of the
most extensive and elaborate character,
every state in the Union aud most of
the principal countries of the world
being represented.
Agriculture is given more prominence
than any other department nt the Ex-position.
the paramount importance of
this great industry having been fully
appreciated from the very beginning
of the World’s Fair movement.
About seventy acres of ground are
covered by the ngrleulture and horti-culture
department nt the Fnlr, large
outdoor spaces being devoted to tills
Industry. Outside there are growing
crops, trees and flowers, an instructive
six acre farm maintained by tlie Unit-ed
States Government Plant Industry,
and gardens In all parts of the grounds.
There are more exhibits in the Agrl
culture building than in any other sec-tion
of the Exposition. This building
Is considered by many people tbe most
interesting part of the World’s Fair.
The exhibits in the palnces of Agri-culture
and Horticulture constitute a
display vast enough and Instructive
nors tor many days. Nothing to com-pare
with them was ever attempted be-fore.
They are tlie climax of several
decades of educational work which Is

EIGHTY
NINERS
To Play Their Second Annual Ball Game
at Scottdale on Tuesday of
Next Week.
OUR "COB" MILBEE WILL BE IN THE BOX.
Manager A. J. Geyer has completed arrangements for the second annual
'reunion and ball game for the “Eighty-Niners” the ball team that made
Scottdale famous. Tuesday, September 27, is the date set for the game to
be played at Scottdale, and favorable replies have been received from Leamon,
Rinehart, Menefee, Boyd, Moore, Hagan, Milbee and George Cargo. The
players of the old team who live in Scottdale—Geyer, Miller and Wood—will
also be on hand.
Last year Menefee and Boyd did the battery work for the old-timers, and
this year it will be Milbee’s turn in the box, with Cargo behind the bat. In
the game last fall the old-timers trimmed the Scottdale Sheet Steel team, but
this year they will stack up against a much harder proposition, as their op-ponents
will be chosen from the best players of the Uniontown and Connells-ville
Elks team and a few picked men from the Scottdale team. Business
will practically be suspended during the afternoon and the entire attention of
the town will be devoted to giving the old boys a good time.

A Continual Strain.
Many men and women are constantly
subjected to what they commonly term
a continual strain” because of some
financial or family trouble. It wears
and distresses them both mentally and
physically, affecting their nerves badly
and bringing on liver and kidney ail-ments,
with the attendant evils of
constipation, loss of appetite, Bleepless
ness, low vitality and despondency.
They cannot, as a mle, get rid of this
“continual strain,” but they can remedy
its health-destroying effects by taking
frequent doses of Green’s August
Flower. It tones np the liver, stimulates
the kidneys, insures healthy bodily
functions, gives vim and spirit to one’s
whole being, and eventually dispels the
physical or mental distress cansed by
that “continual strain.” Trial bottle of
August Flower, 25c; regular size, 75c.

Feet Swollen to Immense Size.
“I had kidney trouble so tad that 1
could not work,” says J. J. Cox of Val

give me any relief. My doctor finally
prescribed Foley’s Kidney Cure which
made a well man of me.” All dealers.

DEHOCRATIC DILEnrtA.
The Westmoreland Democrats are
having a hard time hunting for some
one who is willing to accept that party’s
nomination for State Senate. So far
they have been unsuccessful.
It was at first thought that James K.
Clarke, the esteemed publisher of the
Greensburg “Daily Star,” would fill out
the vacancy and he would have looked
well in the running, too; but “Judge’
declined. Then the committee empow-ered
to make the selection corraled our
good county seat friend, S. A. Kline,
.Esq. Silas, however, wouldn’t stand,
either, and now it is rumored that the
state senatorial column on the unterri
fied ticket will remain blank.
ThiB really seems too bad and rather
than that Bhonld happen we respectively
suggest to the committee that it endorse
Hon. C. E. Woods, the Republican nom-inee.
We do not believe that Cyrus
would raise any serious objections.
THE STREET CARNIVAL.
The Morley-Ennis people have been
engaged to give a street carnival here
all of next week for the benefit of the
Mount Pleasant Fire Department, and
we will then see for ourselves just what
these affairs are—good, bad or indif-ferent.
THE JOURNAL frankly admits that,
judging from the experiences neighbor-ing
towns had with these concerns, it
has been prejudiced against them, be-lieving
that they do a town no good,
either morally or financially; in fact,
only take away money that could be
devoted to much better purposes at
home.
The local firemen have our best wishes,
but reports from Irwin are, to say the
least, not very encouraging.
however, to make application in the
Westmoreland county courts for the I
merging of Thiel College with the]
Greensburg Seminary.
President Kunzman suggested this I
method as the most plausible one for j
obviating the difficulties that have arisen
since the movement was started for
changing the location of the institution.
The matter was consequently placed in
the hands of the attorneys for the board
and it is likely that an application will
be filed in the Westmoreland county
courts within a short time.
Although the legal questions concern-ing
the removal of the college have not I
been finally settled, the college has been |
moved to Greensburg, where the insti-tution
has been opened for more than a j
year. Heretofore the Greenville remon-strants
have been doing all the legal
leading, and it's a real pleasure to note I
that Greensburg is to have an inning |
at court, too.

Royal Boys in Demand.
Pittsburg Dispatch.
The King of Italy joins the Czar in
enjoying the felicity of having a Bon

this masculine alternation, for an
epidemic of daughters was disturbing
the future adjustment.
A TROLLEY BALL LEAGUE,
THE JOURNAL would like to see the
base ball and foot ball lovers of Irwin,
Jeannette, Greensburg, Latrobe, Mount
Pleasant, Scottdale, Connellsville and
Uniontown get together and form a
trolley league, composed of eight com-bination
teams, one from each of the
towns named. For, we believe nothing
would better further the interests of
amateur athletics, provided membership
was limited to local talent.
These eight towns are so situated on
trolley lines that the expenses of a visit-ing
team would be reduced to practically
round trip street car fare, the members
being able to return home the same day.
With the friendly spirit of rivalry such
a league would be sure te excite, there
seems to be no reason why each town
could not have at least two champion
ship games each week during the sea
son. We also believe that this scheme
would prove a good business proposi
tion. We would at least like to hear
what the other towns have to say on
the subject.
NEW THIEL COLLEGE TURN.
The board of trustees of Thiel College
met in Pittsburg Monday last and dis
cnssed the project of removing the col
lege fyom Greenville to Greensburg
The effort of the trustees is opposed by
citizens of Greenville. It was decided.
I make a specialty of having

Tuesday and Friday.
This Week,

Handling only the best grades
of both fish and oysters, I have
no hesitancy in saying that I

second floor, and it will take every inch of both floors to
properly display our immense Fall stock, of which ship-ments
are being received daily. This proves that we are
bigger, and our knowledge of just what the people of Mount
Pleasant and vicinity want, gained by years of experience,
has made us better buyers and, therefore, better sellers.

ROBBERS
Blow Up the Safe in the Postoffice 1 here
Early Friday Morning and
Get $300.
THEBE IS NO CLUE TO THE PERPETRATORS
Robbers blew open the safe in the postoiiice at Bellevernon early last
Friday morning. All the money and stamps it contained were taken. Post-master
E. J. Corwin thinks $300 will cover his loss and damage to safe. The
burglary was discovered by L. M. Truxal, who lives over the postoffice.
Coming down stairs at a little after 5 o’clock that morning he noticed that
the front door in the hallway was open. He investigated and found what
had taken place.
The robbers, to whom there is no clue, had gained an entrance by boring
holes around the lock in the outside door of the postoffice. Two holes were
drilled in the safe. Nitro-glycerin was inserted and set off, soap being used
to deaden the sound.
Tools, with which the work wis done, were taken from a blacksmith
shop and included a steel punch, sledge hammer, chisel and a pair of big
pinchers.

whar he was stnndin’ around fur a free
treat.
“My freus, don’t yo’ git things
mixed up. Dar may he slch n thing
as Providence, but she’s got nbout all
she kin do to take keer of herself.
If any of yo’ argue dut she am hover-in’
ober yo’ to guide yo’ to u lost
pockethook yo’ am gwine to want fur
'taters befo’ yo' find de money to buy
’em. I started out in life a firm be-liever
in Providence, but 1 huiu’ bin
takin’ any chances fur de ins’ five
y’ars. It's bin my experience dat if
I sot on de fence all summer I shiver-''
ed around u cold stove nil winter.
“On geberal occushuns I hev snout
my last half dollar to go to it circus,
an’ hev depended on Providence to
send me bacon fur breakfast. It didn’t
come. What did come was talk from
de ole woman.
“A dozen times or mo’ I hev used
my rent money to lit me out wid a
new kallker shirt fur a cakewalk,
flunkin' Providence would help me to
find a hill on do sidewalk. If any
$5 hills was lost I didn’t find ’em, but
de landlord found me all right, an’
gin me notice to quit.
“I's tooken a leotle walk of a night
to look fur watermillyons. I has found
a patch an’ climbed ober de fence wid
a feelin’ dat Providence was boostin'
me up, but as a result I’m carryin’ de
scars of a dozen dog bites an’ was
twice nearly pizened to death.
“Now an’ den 1 hev hud a longin'
fur chicken, an’ when a dark night
had come an’ de world was retirin' 1
hev wandered up an nlley an' located
a coop. Providence was right dar
wid me to help me break do lock of
de doali an’ select a fat pullet, but—
ah—um—when I readied up to pluck
de bird from its roost—when I could
already taste chicken potpie an’ feel
dnt life was worth libln'—dar cum an
explosion an’ I lost de ends of three
fingers. Providence had guided me to
a torpedo chicken.
“I had a good deal to do with Prov-idence
when 1 cum to own Leghorn
hens myself. Sl»o whispered to me
on two or three occasions to leave de
donh of de coop unlocked, an’ I
obeyed tier to git lip in de mnwnin’
to find all his liens gone. Only last
fall I left ray wheelbarrer in de hack
yard up' trusted to Providence to
watch it while 1 slept. It was gone
text mawnin’, an’ u.y rake an’ spade
wid It.
“If I was tc fall iuto de ribber to-morrow
I’d a heap sooner look
around fur u log dan to depend on
Providence to haul me ashore.
“I used to call upon Providence to
save me when he thunder rolled an’
de lightniu’ flushed, but arter my
smoke house lmd bin struck twice an’
de cliimhley on de cabin knocked olf,
I got in de habit of sittin’ on de bed
an’ lettin’ things rip.
“I has bin hit by a street kyar, but
it was my legs Instead of Providence
dat saved me. I has bin run ober by
a butcher cart, but it happened to be
a soft road instead of Providence dat
saved my ribs.
“Only a few nights ago I met a wild
steer in (le alley, an’ lie lowered his
head an’ come fur me like a runaway
ingine. I speet Providence was around

“Do you also recognize this small
mark of blood on it as having been
here when it was shown to you by the
detective on your return from seeing
her dead body at the Moore house?”
“I do; yes.”
“How do you nccount for that spot
and the slight injury made to her fin-ger?
Should you not say that the ring
had been dragged from her hand?”
“I should.”
“By whom was it dragged? By
you ?”
“No, sir.”
“By herself, then?"
“It would seem so.”
“Much passion must have been In
that net. Do you think that any ordi-nary
quarrel between husband and
wife would account for the display of
such fury? Are we not right in sup-posing
a deeper cause for the disturb-ance
between you than the slight one
you offer in way of explanation?”
An inaudible answer; then a sudden
straightening of Francis Jeffrey’s fine
figure. And that was all.
“Mr. Jeffrey, in the talk you had
with your wife on Tuesday morning
was Miss Tuttle's name Introduced?”
“It was mentioned; yes, sir.”
“With recrimination or any display
of passion on the part of your wife?"
“You would not believe me if I said
no,” was the unexpected rejoinder.
The coroner, taken aback by this di-rect
attack from one who had hitherto
borne all his innuendoes with apparent
patience, lost countenance for a mo-ment,
but, remembering that in his of-ficial
capacity he was more than a
match for the elegant gentleman, who
under other circumstances would have
found it only too easy to put him to the
blush, he observed with dignity;
“Mr. Jeffrey, you are on oath. We
certainly have no reason for not be-lieving
you.”
Mr. Jeffrey bowed. He was prob-ably
sorry for his momentary loss of
self control, and gravely, but with eyes
bent downward, answered with the ab-rupt
phrase:
“Well, then, I will say no.”
The coroner gifted his ground.
“Will you make the same reply when
I ask if the like forbearance was
shown toward your wife’s name in the
conversation you had with Miss Tuttle
immediately afterward?”
“Miss Tuttle was Mrs. Jeffrey's half
sister. The bond between them was
strong. Would she—would I—be npt
to speak of my young wife with bit-terness
?”
“That is not an answer to my ques-tion,
Mr. Jeffrey. I must request a
itiore positive reply.”
“There were no recriminations ut-tered.
Mrs. Jeffrey had displeased me,
and I said so, but I did not forget that
I was speaking of my wife and to her
sister.”
As this was in the highest degree
noncommittal, the coroner could be ex-cused
for persisting.
“The conversation, then, was about
your wife?”
“It was.”
“In criticism of her conduct?”
“Yes.”
“At the ambassador’s ball?”
“Yes.”
Mr. Jeffrey was a poor hand at lying.
That last “yes" came with great effort
The coroner waited, possibly for the
echo of this last “yes” to cease; then
he remarked with a coldness which
lifted at once the veil from his hitherto
well disguised antagonism to this wit-ness:
“If you will recount to us anything
which your wife said or did on that
evening which, in your mind, was
worthy of all this coil, it might help us
to understand the situation.”
But the witness made no attempt to
do so, and while many of us were
ready to pardon him this show of del-icacy
others felt that under the circum-stances
it would have been better had
he been more open.
Among the latter was the coroner
himself, who from this moment threw
aside all hesitation and urged forward
his inquiries in a way to press the wit-ness
closer and closer toward the net
he was secretly holding out for him.
First he obliged him to say that his
conversation with Miss Tuttle had not
tended to smooth matters, that no rec-onciliation
with his wife had followed
It and that in the thirty-six hours
which elapsed before he returned home
again he had made no attempt to
soothe the feelings of one who, accord
lng to his own story, he considered
hardly responsible for any extrava-gances
in which she might have in-dulged.
Then when this inconsistency had
been given time to sink into the minds
of the Jury Oorouer Z. increuBed the
effect produced by confronting Jeffrey
with witnesses who testified to the
friendly, if not loverliko, relations
which hud existed between himself and
Miss Tuttle prior to the appearance of
his wife upon the scene, closing with
a question which brought out the de-nial,
by no means new, that an en-gagement
had ever taken place be-tween
him and Miss Tuttle and hence
that a bond had been canceled by bis
marriage with Miss Moore.
Borne hint of what the coroner con-templated
had already escaped him in

with startling emphasis:
"I know that those words were writ-ten
by my wife.”
But when the coroner asked him his
reasons for this conviction he could or
would not state them.
“I have said," he stolidly repeated,
and that was all.
The coroner made no comment, but
when after some further Inquiry which
added little to the general knowledge |
he dismissed Mr. Jeffrey and recalled
Loretta there was that in his tone
which warned us that the really seri-ous
portion of the day’s examination
was about to begin.
■And what did she do with this
book ?”
‘Opened It, hut not to read it. She
was too quick In closing It for that.”
“Did she take the book away?”
“No; she put It back on the shelf.”
“After opening and closing it?”
“Yes, sir.”
■“Did you see whether she put any-thing
Into the book?”
“I cannot swear that she did, but
then her back was to me. and I could
not have seen It if she bad.”
The implied suggestion caused some
excitement, but the coroner, frowning

CHArTEIt XIII.
IIE appearance of this witness
had undergone a change since
she last stood before us. She
was shamefaced still, but her
manner showed resolve and a feverish
determination to face the situation
which could but awaken tn the breasts
of those who had Mr. Jeffrey’s honor
and personal welfare at heart a name-less
dread, as if they already foresaw
the dark shadow which minute by min-ute
was slowly sinking over a house-hold
which up to a week ago had been
the envy and admiration of all Wash
ington society.
The first answer she made revealed
both the cause of her shame and the
reuson of her firmness. It was In re-sponse
to the question whether she,
Loretta, had seen Miss Tuttle before
she went out on the walk she was said
to have taken immediately after Mrs.
Jeffrey’s final departure from the
house.
Her words were these:
“I did, sir. I do not think Miss Tut
tie knows It, but I saw her In Mrs.
Jeffrey’s room. I am not especially
proud of what I did that night, but I
was led Into It by degrees, and I m
sure 1 beg the lady’s pardon.” And
then she went on to relate how after
she had seen Mrs. Jeffrey leave the
house she went Into her room with the
intention of putting it to rights. As
this was no more than her duty, no
fault could be found with her, but she
owned that when she had finished this
task and removed all evidence of Mrs.
Jeffrey’s frenzied condition she had no
business to linger at the table turning
over the letters she found lying there.
Her cheeks were burning now, for
she had found herself obliged to admit
that she hud read enough of these let-ters
to be sure that they had no refer-ence
to the quarrel then pending be-tween
her mistress and Mr. Jeffrey.
Her eyes fell and she looked seriously
distressed as she went on to say that
she was as conscious then ns now of
having no business with these papers;
so conscious, indeed, that when she
heard Miss Tuttle’s step at the door,
her one Idea was to hide herself.
That she could stnnd and face that
lady never so much as occurred to her.
Her own guilty consciousness made
her cheeks too hot for her to wish to . _ _ . ,- . . , . _ . . Cured Hemorrhages of the Lungs, meet an eye which had never rested
on her any too kindly; so noticing how “Several years since my lungs were
straight the curtains fell over one of go badly affected that I had many hem-the
windows on the opposite side of orrhages.” writes A. M. Ake, of Wood,
the room, she dashed toward it and jn(j took treatment with several
slipped in out of sight just as Miss h ician8 withont benefic. j then
Tuttle came in. This window was one Honey and
seldom used, owing to the fact that it j
overlooked an adjoining wall, so she Tar and my lungs are now as sound

It. Consequently, she could stand | ed stages of lung trouble.” All dealers,
there quite at her ease, and, aa the
curtalna In falling behind her had not
come quite together, she really could |
not help seeing what that lady did.
Here the witness paused with every I
appearance of looking for gome token |
of disapprobation from the crowd.
But she encountered nothing there I
but eager anxiety for her to proceed,
so without waKlng for the ooroner’s
question, she added In so many words:
"She went first to the bookshelves.”
We had expected it; but yet a gen-eral
movement took place, and a few I
suppressed exclamations could be |
heard.
“And what did she do there?”
“Took down a book, after looking |
carefully up and down the shelves.”
“What color of book?”
“A green one with red figures on It.
I could see the cover plainly as she |
took It down.”
"Like this one?”
“Exactly like that ona.”

on this, pressed the girl to continue,
asking If Miss Tuttle left the room
Immediately after turning from the
bookshelves. Loretta replied no; that,
on the contrary, she stood for some
minutes near them, gazing in what
seemed like a greut distress of mind
straight upon the floor, after which
she moved In an agitated way and
with more than one anxious look be-hind
her into the adjoining room, where
she paused before a large bureau. As
this bureau was devoted entirely to
Mr. Jeffrey’s use, Loretta experienced
some surprise at seeing his wife's sis-ter
approach it in so stealthy a muuner.
Consequently she was watebing with
all her might when this young lady
opened the upper drawer and with very
evident emotion thrust her hand into it.
What she took out or whether she
took out anything this spy upon her
movements could not say, for when
Loretta heard the drnwer being pushed
back Into place she drew the curtains
close, perceiving that Miss Tuttle
would have to face this window in
coming back. However, she ventured
upon one other peep through them Just
as that lady was leaving the room and
remembered as if it were yesterday
how clay white her face looked and
how she held her left hand pressed
close ngalnst the folds of her dress. It
was but a few minutes after that Miss
Tuttle left the house.
As we all knew what was kept in
that drawer, the conclusion was obvi-ous.
She wished to see if his pistol
was still there or If it had been taken
away by her sister.
