Barnet by Jlolineux. While Molineux is not on trial for the murder of Barnet, it is exceedingly impor tant for the prosecution to connect Moli r„ ,;\ with Barnet's death, as showing Mol iiieux's character, his letter writing hah -1; his use of cyanide of mercury to kill tin,.-., whom he hated. Tiie testimony to-day reflected severely upon the good name of Mrs. Molineux, but her husband listened unmoved. Rachel Greene, of Washington. D.

Assistant District Attorney Osborne ex plained to the court: •We have proved that the defendant lived with Blanche Chesborough (now Molineux’s wife) in 1897, and we will prove that he did not after a while. Another man Intervened.” Minnie Betts, another colored woman, a waitress at Mrs. Bellinger’s, in West End av, mu , testified that Miss Blanche Ches ter,;,ugh bad lived there, but that she went awny in the summer of 1898. She never s.uv Mr. Molineux until after, he was mar red to Blanche Chesborough. She said ui ■ t man called there. Mr. (Isborne then said that he proposed to show that from November, 1597, to Jan uary, !sits, the defendant and the woman whom he ufterward married lived together is man and wife before they were mar ri and. and were so known at 257 West Sev *yt-fifth street; that Blanche Chesborough tiu-n \v, nt to live at 257 West End avenue, t liv'd there alone; that the defendant dropp'd out of sight and was not heard "f tinti! ilu y were married; that there was another caller on Blanehy Chesborough be i she married the defendant, and that that man was H.

Mr. Wolcott declared, were simply petty earpings which i’on tained the suspicious intimation that there had be* n crooked and dishonorable eon du r. No step had been taken, Mr. Wol cott asserted, that did no; reflect honor upon the people of the United States. He read from the President’s message, a closing quotation he made from which, was that it was “their liberty not our power which we are seeking to enhance.” “That.” said Mr. Wolcott, “is the last public utterance of the President, whose treatment of the Filipinos is described by the senator from South Dakota as ‘brutal’ anti ‘cruel.’ ” Mr. Wolcott said we had taken the Phil ippines. not as a conquest, but as one of the highest duties we owed to the human race. When we inaugurated the war no one dreamed of the Phil ppines, but when it closed so quickly and. so victoriou ly wo found that 5,0(0,< 0 people suffering from oppression and cruelty. Spain defeated an3 bankrupt, and th Philippine Islands float ing derelict. He had taken them, because to have allowed them to drift helplessly into the power of another would have rais ed international complications. We woul 1 have been compelled to take them had they been as bleak and barren as the des ert of Sahara. Mr. Wolcott said we might be compelled to keep the islands indefinitely. He dis approved, however, of the alluring pic tures of gold and commercial rewards in the Beveridge resolution, which he stamp ed as base and sordid. ‘‘This war,” he said, “if we consider first our duty lo the people of the islands, is the noblest ever fought^but if our idea in retaining them is that’ they are rich, the war will go down as miserable and degraded a one as ever disgraced the his tory of the middle ages.” It was possible, lie said, that we were a chosen people, as Mr. Beveridge had said, whom God Almighty had made a trustee for the civilization of the world. But if so we would need to treble our fleet of war vesesls, we would have to join Eng land and Germany in the partition of China, we must needs seize Madagascar and Port Arthur. •My own idea of the mission of Amer ica.” said the Senator, ‘‘is tiiat It is the last hope of the republics; that our broad, large, fertile area will gradually All up by the ad mission of the foreigners and op pressed of other lands, and that in days of peace we will work out the noblest and highest social problems. I believe it Is idle to talk of our being God s chosen peo ple.” Nlr. Pettigrew in Reply. Mr. Pettigrew replied briefly, saying his relations in the Senate had been most pleasant, and the Senate could not hide behind the large personality of Mr. Wol cott. He did not think the attack upon himself was worthy of reply, and said that while he had not spent much time in laud ing Mr. Wolcott, he was “ready to con fess he has a large voice.” He marveled at the division in the ranks of the im perialists. The Senator from Indiana (Beveridge) had said the motive of ex- DYSPEPSIA CAN NOT EXIST Where the New Remedy is Used UNLIKE ANY OTHER Hyomei Dyspepsia Cure Treats the Dis ease itself not the symptoms Which (ire ridnleocy, Sour Stomach, Induction, Con alipaiioa. Nervousness and Billoosness. Since it was found that Dyspepsia was a germ disease, that food was not digest ed in the stomach at all. that flatulency, sour stomach, indigestion, constipation, nervousness, etc., are but the symptoms of the disease, and not the disease itself, rapid progress has been made in treat ing dyspeptics. Heretofore all dys pepsia cures have been gotten out with the idea of assisting the stomach to digest the food, or to cure the symp toms ; no wonder they failed to afford anything but temporary relief, and even this relief due to some cathartic which carried off the germs in large quantities, leaving the stomach and bowels par tially free for a few days, or until the germs left had multiplied in sufficient quantities to produce the same old symptoms. HYOMEI DYSPEPSIA CURE Is the onlv one containing a germicide which kills the bacilli causing the dis ease ; ami as this germicide is accorn pailied with remedies to relieve the symptoms (each being given separately i, this cure does cure completely. The fact that it is the onlv one ever guaran teed, should be sufficient proof of its superiority over every other treatment. Your money refunded if it fails. Sold by all druggists or sent by mail.

Her pretext was civilization ! and religions zeal. Those were the mo ! tives of Pizarro, who butchered people j right and left. Proceeding, Mr. Pettigrew | pointed out the names of many illuslri- I ous men who had opposed the policy or [their home governments to aggressions I abroad, notably Fox and Pitt, who had I denounced ihe course of King George ! against the American colonies. “It is these champions of freedom,” said 1 lie. “who dared to denounce the course of their governments.” Financial llill Dlncnimed. j The financial hill was then considered. Mr. Rawlins of Utah addressed the Sen ate in opposition to the measure, which he intimated was one of ihe objects of those who favored imperialism. He de nounced the hill as sanctified by Wall street and blessed by the British financial promoters. He declared (he efforts of the Republican party to bring about bimetal lism had been perfidious and treacherous, and that, there was no example in (llstory of greater duplicity. He devoted his chief attention to the House hill, for which the Senate measure is a substitute, pointing oul what he regarded as its serious de fects. He said it was astonishing that on the eve of a financial crash, due to tm ar rested money supply, a proposition should he made in Congress that in his opinion would multiply the dangers. Mr. Davis, chairman of the Foreign Re lations Committee, gave notice ttiat early to-morrow he would move an executive session. At 5;20 p. m. the Senate went into exec utive session and then adjourned. URGENT DEFICIENCY DILL. Some of the Important Items tile Measure Carries.

Ky., Jan. 15.—The contest boards in the Governor find the Lieutenant governorship cases met to-day, every member of both l>eards attending. Sev eral hundred witness, most from Lexing ton, were present. It was announced the two board* would sit together. Taylor’s attorneys protested that his charge® of disqualification of s* vei al mem bers were overruled without investigation, which ff had, would have left the com mittee without a quorum. Mayor Weav er, Chief of Po.ice Haager and Gen. J. B. Castleman were among the witnesses. Kohn, of Goebel's counsel, ti.. I the af fidavits of all members of contest 'board, who are under challenge, and also ihe affidavits of the clerks of both houses of the Legislature. These deny the alle gations in the Taylor protest and In affi davits submitted during to-day. The ob jections Taylor’s counsel on nil of these matters were overruled. Attorney lideln then proceeded to argue the exceptions filed to the notices of con test. The notices, he held, were insutll* cient and defective In that they arrogated to the contest hoard judicial powers not conferred on lhat body by law ; that there was no allegation that the several thou sand persons kept away from the i*>:ls would have voted for Goebel in any event; that the allegation regarding alleged un lawful mandatory inductions issued by Judge Toney in Louisville failed to show that the alleged unauthorized persons who entered the polls did anything that ef fected the result of ihe election; that the charge of intimidation of railroad em ployes by railroad officials were unsui>- poried by names. Testimony for Goebel. Mr. Phelps responded for the Goebel side, claiming that none of the objections cited by counsel on the other side were really in Ihe way. Mayor Charles P. Weaver, of Louisville, was examined to show all precautions had -been taken for an orderly and fair ' election and that the use of troops oper | ated as an intimidation. Mr. Weaver said | among other things that he favored Goe j bel for the nomination and had heard that I all of his apjKdntees supported Goebel. ' .Mr. Weaver said that owing to incendi j ary speeches and publications In the | newspapers there was a feeling of unrest, but not such, he thought, as required the military. The local authorities he regard ed as amply equal to the occasion. He de iailed the steps which ho, as Mayor had taken to preserve order, mentioning the appointment of special police, etc. H. P. McDonald, a Democratic election officer, the second witness, attributed the Democratic falling off in his disirict to threats of intimidation. These witnesses were examined at the night session, at which also the exceptions filed to the notices of contest had been elaborated on before witnesses were call ed. By a strict party vote the exceptions were overruled. Judge Yost filed a demurrer, which was promptly overruled. Judge Yost then filed answer to the motions of contests in both cases, and was granted until Wednesday to prepare and file counter notices. The boards then adjourned until to-morrow. OSTRACISE TIB ST MAGNATES. Col. Rryan Approves President Had ley's Suggestions. St. Louis, Jan. —Col. William J. Bry an and President Arthur T. Hadley or Yale University were interviewed to-day relative to the latter’s proposal to ostra cise trust magnates. Both are agreed on the idea that social recognition should be denied to any man engaged in a trust or other business en terprise inimical to the public welfare, and that the public mind should be educated to see those evils that exist in the trust system. Col. Bryan said: “The idea is a good one and ehould be encouraged. A man who tries to rob the public by means of a trust or by wrecking a bunk or a railroad, should no more be countenanced by society than a plain high wayman. The thing needed is to awaken and educate the public mind and con science on such matters. “When the people understand the harm that there really is in trusts, they will be ready to apply a remedy. There arc things which were perm.(ted in society twenty-five years ago which are not toler ated at all to-day. The change has been wrought through education. A similar change will take place when the people learn the true moral status of the trust question.” ALGL'9T COMMITTED SUICIDE.

New York, Jan. 15.—Tho Ameftcan lour of Mrs. Langtry began to-nigu< at the Garden Theater, with her appearance in <he mueti-talked-of comedy, “The Degen erates/' by Sidney Grundy. After an absence of over four years, tho famous Lndon beauty was given a warm reception by her friends and admirers in New York. “The Degenerates” wns especially writ ten for Mrs. Langtry and the part of Mrs. Trevelyan, the heroine, was welj suited to tier powers. The play, a society comedy of to-day, Is woven around Mrs. Trevelyan, a divorcee, who plunges freely Into the pleasures of life and gets into an entangle ment with a nobleman. Subsequently she is saved- by tho rousing of maternal in stincts under tho influence of her daugh ter’s love, and she resolves to disentangle herself from her shady past. She saves her acquaintance, a I*ady Suumarese, front committing an Indiscretion, who, although innocent, wilfully seems guilty. | A queer Duke sees the deception, admires i her for it and marries her. Thus family ■ skeletons are closeted and the play ends. Some of the gowns were gorgeous, and the piece was well staged. t\\ i:l\ !•: ihh ’roils dihmissi<:i.

J.m 15.—Commissioner of Charities Keller to-day dismissed from the Metropolitan Hospital on Blackwell’s Island twelve* physicians, who, because of differences with Bupt. Stewart of the in stitution, on Sunday hanged him in effigy in the morgue, using a cadaver for the purpose. Pinned to the breast of the corpse, which was suspended from the ceiling by means jof a rope, was placard bearing an oj -1 probrious reference to the superintendent. The matter was referred to the visiting board of phys clans and also to Commis sioner Holler, who summarily dismissed the physicians from the servive. Commissioner Keller, when asked about the matter, said: “It was a most disgraceful and out rageous affair, and l dismissed every mother’s son of them. When men are hanged in effigy an artificial thing is used, and the use of a cadaver goes beyond the limits of decency.” A SHOOTING AT IIXsTKOI*, TKX. Two Lives Were Lost and Several Men Are In Jail.

For some time he has been wearing around the body u strong elastic bandage, intended to bold his broken ribs firmly in place. Saturday he found this bandage not doing the work in a sat isfactory manner and was compell ed to have another fitted. The pugilist found that the bandage allowed his broken, ribs to protrude when he breathed and the second bandage was a necessity.

A meeting of the creditors was held at t-he office of the company to-day und a committee appointed to investigate. The liabilities are $311,531; assets, $213,975. It is believed that a settlement of some sort will be effected. Crippled by Rheumatism. Those who have Rheumatism finii themselves growing steadily worse all the while. One reason of this is that the remedies prescribed by the doctors contain mercury and potash, which ulti mately intensify the disease by causing the joints to swell and stiffen, produc ing a severe aching of the bones. S. 8. 8 has been curing Rheumatism for twenty years—even the worst cases which Beemed almost incurable. Capt. 0. E Hughes, the popular railroad con ductor, of Columbia, 8. C., had an eiperlenee •with Rheumatism which convinced him that there Is only one cure for that painful disease. He says: ‘ I was a greatsuf- / taa ferer from muscular /_ fTa Rheumatism for tw o years I could get no jfL permanent relief from r \ |S any medicine prescribed J by my physician. I look T about a dozen bottles of k ; your M. S. S,, and now I /Mr-S' am as well as I ever was f £ In my life. I am sure ■ ' ~ujtjfc'jHt* T tbatyourinedleiuecured me, and I would recoin- ' mend It to any one suffering from any blood disease.” Everybody knows that Rheumatism is a diseased state of the blood, and that, a blood remedy is the only proper treat ment, but one containing potash and mercury only aggravates the trouble. S.S.S. r n.BM being Purely Vegetable, goes direct to the very cause of the disease and a per manent cure always results. It is the only blood remedy guaranteed to con tain no potash, mercury or other dan gerous minerals Books mailed free by Swift Specifio Company, Atlanta, Ueorgi*.

Y., Jan. 15 —The reports of tho majority and minority members of ihe Mazet Investigating Committee were presented to-night to- the assembly. The majority report says: "In many of the offices and departments in New York city grave evils were dis closed. For such as were administrative in tlielr nature, the remedy must be “ought at the ballot box and not at the hands of the Legislature. The one clear and distinct, fact brought out by the tn \estimation Is that we have In this great city the most perfect Instance of central ized party government yet known.” It declares “(hat we see the central pow er. not tho man who sits In Ihe Mayor's chair, hut Ihe matt who stands behind it. We see the same arbitrary power decid ing appointments, directing officials, con trolling boards, securing members of the Legislature and the municipal assembly. We see the powers of (he government prostituted to protect criminals, to demor alize tho police, to debauch the public conscience and to turn governmental func tions into channels for private gain. The proof Is conclusive, not that the public treasury has been directly robbed, hut that great opportunities have been given, by manipulation of public offices, to en able favored Individuals to work for their own personal benefit.

Not only are the laws against pool rooms, gambling houses, policy shops, dance halls and wicked reports of all kinds enforced In such a way as to be ridiculous ly ineffective, but gruve offenses of per sonal dereliction In the way of drunken ness, and inatttentlon to duty,go unpun ished. ■’Robberies. bunco games. deceits, frauds, thefts, have Increased In an alarming degree and the detection of these crimes and the recovery of property has steadily decreased during the laat two years.” Unfair anil Partisan. The minority report says; “As to the report of the majority In gen eral. we feel Justified In claiming lhai it i grossly unfair, conspicuously partisan, coarse In language, vlluperattve In tem per and absolutely unjustified except by the reckless disregard and perversion of the proof adduced before your committee. The committee was from the beginning discredited lx-fore the people. The parti san purpose of Its creation was univer sally recogniz'd A most striking Illustration of the par tisan arrogance and (hypocrisy which has dominated the committee from Its very Inception is lo be found in the paragraphs of the report wherein the majority give expression to the Pharisaical Indignation wdih which their souls ure filled upon discovering that there is a boss system associated with our politics. But even In this the majority of the committee lack both the coorage and candor to point at the typical though ‘easy’ boss. They may try to mask and conceal him In the same subservient manner that they protected him from the subpoena of the committee, and refused our Insistent demand that he should be called to the stand as a most unique, necessary and desirable ex hibit." Here follows a bitter attack upon Sen ator Platt and upon the majority of the committee for not calling him to the wit ness stand. STKAMEH ST. IIKI.BNA WRECKED.

Bemarknlile Scene Which irrcil When a Tragedian, Who Hail Gone to-tlie-Dogs. Died. From tho Washington Star. "When this old Shakespearean actor that I’m telling you about (lied there was a peculiar, maybe a somewhat pathetic, scene In the poor room around his bier,” said an old theatrical man who lives In the memories of the palmy days. "Never mind about his name. He hod been nota ble In (he support of the best of the Amer- Scotch and Irish Whiskies.

Ho was never a big figure In the eyes of the public, for ho nevor had the luck to get anybody to star him, but by such men as Edwin Forest, first of all. then John McCullough, Edwin Booth, I>avv ronce Barrett and others, ho was regard ed as u valuable man in the interpretation lof second’ heavies in tho Shakesperean plays. Well, along in the . .it*? - ’Ba's, when bo ! was still able to command high salaries end attach himself to <he support of tho | highest men in tho profession, drink col lared him. It got him terribly. I never saw a man get clutched by it with such 1 suddenness and violence. Ho had not be gun to drink until late In life, but men of that son art worst when they do get I going. This notable actor and scholarly, | dignified man wehi square to the dogs in side of two years. At the end of that tiino he could not only get no engagement, hut ,ho hail lost many of his friends. Ho had spent all of his savings, which amounted to several thousand dollars, and ht* had , lost ids home over in one of the Or anges of New Jersey. His wife left him and went to her people in England. He found himself in the streets, without, an overcoat, without <i place to sleep in the middle of winter. Time and again his old friends picked film out of the ditch, got him Into hospitals and sanitariums, clothed him. took an interest In him, car ried him off to iheir own homes to be surrounded by cheering influences—only to have him break out worse than ever. His friends reluctantly gave, him up, otic by one. 1 Then he 1 untied on Blackwell’s Isl and. ‘‘After that he was quite given up. Tt got to be nil old story—his trips to tho reformatory Institution In tho East river. It was concluded by all hands that Black well’s, after oil, was about the safest and best place for him. In a general kind of way I always knew tint, after the old man had got ’way down he had gone to live with a poor but extremely kindly Irish family In a tenement house down Cherry Hill way. In fact. I had happen ed .-Long that way once or twice, just by | way of curiosity, you understand, to sec j how the poor old fellow lived. It was a i very clean set of four room*—but, pover ; ty otherwise—where the Irish family liv ed, and the old actor had a little back room when he wasn’t over on the island. "One morning, along toward 10 oclock, in the middle of winter, the news got to me somehow that the old actor had (lied In ids tenement room the night before immediately upon his release from a ihjrty-day term on the island. He had j been pretty kind to m* when he was up In the world, and, while I wasn’t partlc ! ularly rich, I didn’t purpose that he ! should be burled in Potter's Field. So l took a cab and went down Cherry Hill way. “I walked up th<* stairs and knocked on (he front door of the Irish family's set of rooms. Fanny Davenport opened the door and let me In. ” ‘Why,’ T began* with some surprise, ‘how did you know ’ “I was with him when he died last evening, and remained until I had to rush off U> the theater,’ replied the big-hearted woman, quietly. T had the undertaker here last night. Our poor friend ia al ready prepared for burial. He was good to me. We shall take him to Greenwood.’ ”Bhe couldn’t say any more, and it wasn't necessary, unyhow. I had hardly taken off my hat and gloves before there was a quiet rap on the door. I opened it. Augustin Daly stood revealed. Beside him was Father Ducey. We had all really come from different directions under ini ; tlatlves. We talked quietly for a bit,when there was another gentle rap on the door. I opened it and let Emma Abbott in. There have been few sweeter-souled women In the world than Emma Abbott. ” 'He was good to m*\’ she said quiet ly. ’After I had learned something about singing he taught me what I know about acting. He wus very patient with me. I Just heard.* ‘‘Well, we were complete as a party then. We went into the room where the old man—ho who had been a prince in generosity, a king in courtesy—lay sleep ing, and Father Ducey—the still amiable, benevolent, brilliant Ducey—read the ser vice of the Roman Catholic Church. He said a few words. He, too. had known our friend in his better as well as in his fallen days. “Daly stepped forward then, and with bowed head he told of what a good man he had known this poor old man who lay dead before us lo be. Daly felt pretty bad as he spoke, and he couldn't go on. “Then Emma Abbott, who had been sit ting over In a dark corner of the little old .bare room, advanced to tlie foot of tho casket. She sang ‘Angels Ever Bright and Fair.' No accompaniment, of course. You recall the sweetness of her voice? Now, as a matter of fact, neither Daly, Ducey or myself was an emotional man—far from it. But the tenderness and the inspi ration of that song as the pure-souled lit tle woman of tho stago sang it were al most unbearable. ‘‘Then we took our poor old friend’s body away—out to Greenwood.l’ve always thought that was a queer meeting we all had, coming from different directions, In that poor, hare tenement room.” —While the Marquess of DufTerin has two sons In active service in South Africa —the Earl of Ava, shut up In Ladysmith with Sir George White, and recently wounded, and a younger brother, a lieu tenant In the Ninth Lancers, serving un der Lord Methuen—a third has gone out on an avowedly peaceful mission.
