N. ,i York. Jan. 15.—1n the trial of Ro
lai i B. Molineux for the murder of Mrs.
K.nherlne J. Adams, the prosecution to
,lu introduced testimony to show a motive
f,.. ijo poisoning of Henry C. 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. C.,
test i.i and that she knew Mr. Chesborough,
ivh > lived with Mrs. Chesborough, at a
house in New York where witness was
cine a chamber maid. Asked if she saw
Mr. Chesborough in the room, she walk
, l thr ugh the court room, and pointing
iter linger straight at Molineux. exclaim
ed: “That's the man!” She went on td say
that Molineux had in the room there in a
dressing case which his valet brought,
and identified a man named Fisk as his
valet.
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. C. Barnet.
M’. Osborne, by way of explanation of
a motive said that he had shown a sys
unt in the Cornish case in the hiring of
litter boxes and the writing of letters
to tu.'i il concerns, and tiiat he showed

No Dishonorable Step.
1 he resolutions to which Mr. Pettigrew
had been speaking. 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-

UNLIKE ANY OTHER
Hyomei Dyspepsia Cure Treats the Dis
ease itself
not the symptoms
Which (ire ridnleocy, Sour Stomach, Induction, Con

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

which kills the bacilli causing the dis

superiority over every other treatment.

Mr. Rawlins of Utah addressed the Sen

promoters. He declared (he efforts of the
Republican party to bring about bimetal

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

Harrison, John Hurt, F. S. Coke and J.
M. Hughes of the Grasseili Chemical
Company of Cleveland, 0., are here for
the purpose of selecting a site for the lo

Springs, and it is expected that they will
make a selection at one of these places.
It is understood to be their purpose to

very cheaply in this district because of
the proximity of minerals’ and the low
cost of labor and fuel.
I.arge refineries will, it is stated, be
built in connection with the chemical
works and the whole will represent an
investment of $1,000,009. The Grasseili

Frankfort. 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.”

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.

New York. 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.”

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. An elastic bandage was also
fitted to a shoulder which has been ailing
since the fight.
Bronze Company in Trouble.
Meriden, Conn., Jan. 13.—The Meriden
Bronze Company is in financial and facul
ties. 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

and Tarllsan In the Bxtrcnie.
Albany. N. 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.
Crimes Go I'npnntshed.
"The conduct of the present po'lee force
of the city of New York Is unqualifiedly
bad. 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.

Well, along in the . .it*? - ’Ba's, when bo

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.”
