POWERS HELD WITHOUT BOND Judge Believes Prisoner Is Technically Guilty. SO STATES IN OPEN COURT Some Further Sensational Developments in the Goebel Assassination In¬ vestigation At Frankfort. There were some startling develop¬ ments in the Goebel assassination at Frat kfort Tuesday. W. H. Culton, who waved examination and was held over to the circuit court, went to the Capitol hotel, where he was in conference with the attorneys for the prosecution for over two hours. He was accompanied by his brother-in- law, E. E. Hogg, who is also his attor¬ ney. Culton was reported to have made a confession, but later it devel¬ oped that the information gained was not as sweeping as thought. His friends admit that he gave the prose¬ cution such information as he had and which had heretofore not come out. Henry E. Youtsey, Republican Audi¬ tor Sweeny’s clerk, was arrested at noon and locked up in jail charged with being £n accessory to the assassi¬ nation. He is a half brother of Hon. L." J. Crawford, a prominent Republi¬ can of Newport, and detectives arrest¬ ed him as the man with the black mustache whom Golden mentioned as being given the key to Caleb Power’s office. Youtsey complained the prose¬ cution bad broken faith in arresting him, and it is said he is ready to make a public statement for which the prosecution is not anxious at this time. POWERS HELD FOR TRIAL. At Tuesday’s session of the examin¬ ing trial of the Republican secretary of state, Caleb Powers, the courtroom was cleared of all persons except at¬ torneys, newspaper representatives and court officers. The defense an¬ nounced they would introduce no testi¬ mony and tendering Governor Taylor’s pardon of Powers, asked that the de¬ fendant be dismissed upon the evi¬ dence. The commonwealth disputed Taylor’s right and tho court overruled the motion. Bail was asked for. Judge Moore said: "It is not my belief that Powers fired the shot which killed Gover¬ nor Goebel, but from the evidence, it is my opinion that he was con¬ nected with the conspiracy to kill him. I shall, therefore, order that he be held over without bail to the Franklin county grand jury that the case may be further in¬ vestigated. ” Culton’s counsel announced that Culton waived his examination trial and by agreement of tbe attorneys he will remain at home with his sick wifu under private guard. Captain John Davis also waived examination and was admitted to bail in the sum of $5,000. He was locked up for tho night. The Democratic militia will be re¬ tained in Frankfort until after the cir¬ cuit court, which begins Monday, and at which Secretary Powers and others are to be tried. A MARYLAND LYNCHINCL Negro Charged With Assaulting White Woman Is Strung Up By Hob. Lewis Harris, the negro who was arrested at Uelair, Md., a few days ago charged with a criminal assault upon Miss Anne Mcllvain, was taken from the jail Monday night and lynched, after a brief struggle between the sheriff and the mob, in which two men were slightly wounded. SHOPS BEING REflOVED. L. and N. Railroad Officials Decide To Vacate Kentucky Town. The work of tearing down the Lou¬ isville and Nashville machine shops at Bowling Green, Ky., was commenced Tuesday, preparatory to removing them to Paris, Tenn. The monthly pay roll to the employes of the com¬ pany is about $30,000. The removal is said to be due to the Goebel troublo in Kentucky. UNDER COMGAND OF LEE. nilitary Departments of Havana and Pinar del Rio to Be Combined. Secretary Root has said that while he was in Havana recently arrange¬ ments were made for the consolidation of the department of tho province of Havana and Pinar del Rio, commanded by Brigadier General Fitzbugh Lee, aud the department- of Havaua, com¬ manded by Brigadier General William Ludlow, iuto one department under the command of General Lee, to ba known probably as the department of Havana and Pinar del Rio.

It is reported from Ladysmith that the Boers are massing in their in¬ trenched positions at Biggarsberg. WARDNER AFFAIR RESULTS IN ROW Members of Investigating Commit¬ tee Grow Pugilistic. FISTICUFFS THREATENED. Lie "Was Bandied About and Strong Talk Indulged In. The fifth day of Governor Steunen- berg’s testimony in the Coeur d’Alene investigation began at Washington Wednesday morning. Representative Lentz continued the cross-question¬ ing. The climax was reached when Chair¬ man Hull was det"innced by all the Democratic members of the commit¬ tee, particularly by Mr. Lentz. Time and again the two men clashed during the hearing. Tho governor detailed a number of visits from San Francisco, Spokane and elsewhere, during which he said he met officials of the various mines. At a meeting at Spokane he told the mine owners there would be no modi¬ fication of the permit system. The mine owners were opposed to this sys¬ tem, and wanted to employ any men they chose. But the governor said he informed them that the state of Idaho would not permit the employ¬ ment of criminals. He had made no statement as to how long the permit system would continue, but he said he intended to enforce it as long as it seemed to insure order. Mr. Lentz asked if this meant that ihe governor would do as he pleased on the subject, to which the witness 'replied that he would do a»bis judg¬ ment dictated. If the permit system had resulted in a loss to the miners of $500,000, as Mr. Lentz stated, the governor said he did not care for that, as it was a necessary recourse by the state. "Like Louis XIV, you are the state,” remarked Mr. Lentz. Mr. Lentz’ allusion to Louis XIV caused ^prolonged discussion. A sensational episode occurred at this point. Representative Lentz as¬ serted that some of the state deputies were living with disreputable women. Mr. Cheney, the attorney for the state of Idaho, interposed a protest and said; “I burl back at you that statement. The deputies are reputable men.” Mr. Lentz indignantly resented the interference of private counsel, and addressing the attorney, said: "You ought to be kinked out of the window, and yon would be if you had not the majority of this committee be¬ hind you.” When Mr. Lentz attempted to read from previous testimony concerning tho improper conduct of deputies, Chairman Hull overruled this course. This further nettled Mr. Lentz, anil addressing Mr. Hull, he exclaimed: "I want to say in your teeth that if you are a party to protecting this at¬ torney in a lie, you are a party to it.” Amid much confusion, Chairman Hull declared that Mr. Lentz had in¬ sulted the committee and its members as far as he could and it would have to stop. Representative Hay, of Vir¬ ginia, arose to say that the attorney had better not give the lie to him and Representative Cox, of Tennessee, said: "If any man insults me, I’ll hit him. ” Mr. Cox said that when the attorney accused a member of the committee of falsehood he forfeited his right to ap- pear. “If he says that to me,” added Mr. Cox, “either he or I go out of the window. ” Representative Jett, of Illinois, said that as a means of protecting the com¬ mittee, he would move that the attor¬ ney be expelled from the committee room. • Many members were on their feet trying to secure recognition when Mr. Jett made his motion. Before taking action the committee gave Mr. Cheney an opportunity to be heard. He ex¬ plained that he did not intend to say that Mr. Lentz had told a falsehood, but simply to deny the statement that Idaho deputies lived with disreputable women. He apologized for any mis¬ apprehension. Mr. Cox remarked that a man must either “fight or apologize on such oc¬ casions, and the apology settled it.” PRESIDENT THANKS GILMORE. Erstwhile Captive of Filipinos Has a Talk With McKinley. Lieutenant Commander J. C. Gil¬ more, the naval officer who was held so long a prisoner by the Filipinos, was presented by Secretary Long to the president Wednesday evening. Tbe lieutenant related his experience in captivity and was warmly compli¬ mented by McKinley for gallantry. Secretary Long said that no ass'gm menthad been decided upon for Gill- more, but it is quite certain that he will be given something to his liking. NEQROES DENOUNCE BOERS. Complain of the Slavery System as Practiced By Burghers. At a session of the Delaware Metho¬ dist Episcopal (colored) conference in Philadelphia a resolution denouncing the Boers as slaveholders was present¬ ed by Rev. F. H. Butler and unani¬ mously adopted. The conference is composed of colored preachers and laymen of Deleware, Maryland nnd a portion of Pennsylvania. The slavery complained of is the apprenticeship system in vogue in the Boer republic. MARSH OF ILLINOIS ' DENOUNCES LENTZ Some High-Colored Pyrotechnics In House of Representatives. VOCABULARY EXHAUSTED .Ohio Man Is Virtually Challenged By Hoosier Statesman. Lively debates covering a wide rangt of topics, including Porto Rico, the Philippines and the Boar war, occu¬ pied the time of the house Tuesday while the army appropriation bill was under consideration. At the outset Mr. Talbert, of South Carolina, com¬ plained of the measure’s vast extrava¬ gance and replied to strictures on his course as to private pension legisla¬ tion. The published interview with an unnamed Republican representa¬ tive charging that the Porto Rico tarifl was the result of a bargain for cam¬ paign funds was again brought up by Mr. Pieroe, of Tennessee. Mr. Steele wanted to know how the Porto Rican tariff bill could be used to raise a campaign fund. Mr. Pierce replied that he conld not give the exact steps, but that vast sums of money had been raised by the Republican party in 1896 from various quarters could not be denied. The ci n ributors in one inslance had even jogged the memory of the secretary of the treasury and he had not dared to resent the insult. (Democratic ap¬ plause. ) Mr. Lentz, of Ohio, a member of military affairs committee, discussed the evils of miliiadsm. The expen¬ ditures for the army had grown, he said, until they now. absorb one-fifth of the gross expeuditures*of the gov¬ ernment. The machinery of the gov¬ ernment costs the people now $10 per capita against 50 cents in the days of Thomas Jefferson. The Monroe doc¬ trine under which seventeen republics had been built up south of us, was no longer to be held sacaed. ; Turning his attention to Philippine questiens, he produced an array of facts to show that the soldiers in the Phil¬ ippines had no heart in the war against the insurgents and desired to return home. He challenged the president’s statement that the volunteers had willingly remained after their terms of enlistment expired. He read a letter from Assistant Sec¬ retary of War Meiklejohn, in reply to a request for the discharge of a soldier, denying the request and saying the war department was "flooded” with such applications. He read a letter from one of the medical officers serving in the Philippines enlliug ( atlention to the frequency with which soldiers were being incapacitated by self-in¬ flicted wounds anil suggested tho advis¬ ability of boards such as investigate cases of desertion. He also mentioned the reports concerning the alarming frequency of insanity among the sol¬ diers. Mr. Marsh, of Illinois, replied to Mr. Lentz. He spoke with great heat. No vituperous enemy of his country, ho said, could have uttered more diabolical sentiments. ’ "Idesire,” he continued, with flush¬ ed face and emphatic gestures, "to- characterize his speech, from ’begin¬ ning to end, as a disgrace to the Amer¬ ican consress and a violation of all the decencies of this house, He has misrepresented his country, misquoted history and misstated the position of this side of the bouse. “He has exhausted his -whole vo¬ cabulary in unjust and false accusa¬ tions against his country. And I make these statements,” said he, look¬ ing at Mr. Lentz, "upon my responsi¬ bility as a member here and as a gen¬ tleman outside of this house. One of tho beautiful things about the consti¬ tution,” he went on sarcastically, "is that no man can be puuislied under the law for words spoken in debate here. So the gentleman from Ohio goes scot free, notwithstanding the false charges ho has made.” Mr. Lentz interposed at this point to challenge Mr. Marsh to show the falsity of the official documents from which he had quoted. Mr. Marsh replied that he had gone as far as he could in his characteriza¬ tion of Mr. Lentz’s remarks. If ho bad any language at his command more emphatic, he would have used it. Continuing, he denounced the course ox the Democratic party which, he said, in time of peace, was “hell for war,” and in time of war, "was hell for peace.” He maintained that our title to the Philippines was as complete as our title to Florida, and it was as much our duty to suppress rebellion there as in Florida. The general debate was then closed and the clerk began to read the bill for amendment under the five minute rule. Exposition Opens April 14. At a cabinet council in Paris Tues¬ day, at which M. Loubet presided, it was decided to officially inaugurate the Paris exposition Saturday, April 14 th. NEW fllLITARY DIVISION Created For the Philippines By Secre¬ tary of War, Root. Secretary Root has taken a step long contemplated in the administra¬ tion of the Philippines by directing the creating of an entirely new mili¬ tary division to be known as the divi¬ sion of the Pacific, embracing all the Philippine archipelago. The division in turn is to be divided into four mil¬ itary departments. THE FOE OF OLD AGE. METSCHNIKOFF AND FOUNTAIN OF YOUTH. Tlio Beeret of Life ConilaU In a Knowledge of the Cells Whirl. Com¬ pote the Human Hotly—Instances of Long Life. - _ The scientific world is now interest¬ ed in the experiments and discoveries of < Prof. Metschntkoll. the world's greatest bacteriologist. The modest statements which he has given out lead to the belief that he is on the way to solve the problem of prolonging hu¬ man life. For ages physicians and philosophers have contended that the age of man should be greater than three score years and ten. According to the law of Floureus, warm blood animals live just live timeB the period necessary for their long bones to com¬ plete ossification. This period applied to man makes his age limit 100 years, which is believed to be correct, unless accident occurs to prevent it The statements and theories of Prof. Metschnikoff are not based on idle dreams, hopes or prophecies, but upon years of careful experimenting which has rendered discoveries that are ac¬ cepted by the scientific world and has placed the discoverer in the front rank % mk 111 ® HP k»v> PROFESSOR METSCHNIKOFF. of scientists. He has proven that all life forms are groupings of simple cells, and that each class of cells per¬ forms a distinct office. He discovered that the office of certain of these ceils was to devour other cells-that threat¬ ened the health of the human organ¬ ism. They are the "policemen” of the body. Every day people inhale thous¬ ands of disease germs hut if the blood is in healthy condition, the devouring cells or 'policemen of the body” pounce upon and destroy them. This is why many people go through a period of epidemic of pestilence unaffected, wbilq others suffer lingering illness aq.d often death, Carrying his re- searches farther, the professor found that the stronger cells of the body preyed upon the weaker ones, thereby causing an inharmonious action of the organs. This produces a gradual de¬ cline in the organs and faculties, what is called “old age” becomes manifest, and death soon follows. The professor concluded that if tho weaker cells could be invigorated and strengthened, so as to repel the attacks of the strong¬ er cells or not to get into condition to Invite attack, that harmony in the workings of the human organs would be maintained qnd that life and vigor would be greatly prolonged. With this end in view he began a series of ex¬ periments by transposing the blood of rabbits and guinea pigs, and he found that he could regulate the number and the vitality of the different kinds of cells that made up the blood which in turn creates the body. The serum which Prof. Metschnikoff has evolved, and will more perfectly evolve, from his experiments and dis¬ coveries will be Injected into the sys¬ tems of human beings who begin to show the effects of the ravages of time. This serum will strengthen the failing cells and the life and vigor of the hu¬ man body will be renewed. To what length these renewals can be carried, and how long the functions of the hu¬ man body can be kept working in har¬ mony is a matter of conjecture, and a question that the professor does not discuss in any respect. He makes no pretensions of having discovered the secret of continual youth, and is work¬ ing only to aid in the discovery of a means to prolong human life to the extent which its creator seems to have intended, and to make it as free from disease and pain as possible while it continues. From a scientific point of view the long lives of the patriarchs of the hu¬ man family are seriously believed to have been incorrectly calculated ac¬ cording to our standard of reckoning years. Methuselah might have lived 969 years as the time in those days was reckoned, but scientists cannot be¬ lieve that a year then was as long in duration as it is now. In more recent times—since the beginning of the Christian era—there are numerous in¬ stances of long lives. In the begin¬ ning of the 17th century, Gotour Mc- Craim celebrated 180 Christmases at his home on the island of Jara, in the Hebrides. In 1014. Johannes de Tempo- ritus died at the age of 361. In 1620 the Countess of Desmond died in Eng¬ land at the age of 146. Her death was caused by falling from a cherry tree which she had climbed, and which shows that she must still have teen very active. Thomas Parr died near •Shrewsbury, England, in the early part of the 17th century in his 153d year, and was not married until he was 80 years old. It is said that he ate whole¬ some food regularly, and was a great Bleeper. Henry Jenkins, of Yorkshire. England, completed his 169th year. He had always been a hard working man and hardly knew what sickness was. Thera are a few others who livod ba- yonrt 125 years and hundreds have passed the century mark. The tables of the great life insurance companies of the present day prove conclusively that the span of human life is lengthening. A person can in¬ sure his life today on terms far mc,*e reasonable than his father could have secured. In the middle of the present century the average of life was a little more than 32 years; now it is fully 38 years. Then the average death rate was 26 for every 1,000 inhabitants; now it is 21. The statistics of all civilized countries in which medicine 1 b pur¬ sued as a science and in which hygiene has been promoted show this general prolongation of human life. CUPID PLAYS QUEER PRANKS. Lowe Affairs of Fnmona People Furnish Pleasant Heading Today. Although many men and women of celebrity have been unfdVtimate in af¬ fairs of the heart, the great majority had different stories to tell. Many wo¬ men deserve, but few women receive, such an I. O. U. as that which Hood gave his wife. “I never was anything, dearest, until I knew you, and I have been a better, happier and more pros¬ perous man ever since. Lay the truth in lavender, sweetest, and remind me of it when I fail.” General Gordon said he never married because he nev¬ er found a woman prepared to accom¬ pany him to the ends of the earth. Such a woman Sir Henry Lawrence did find. She went with him into nearly every place in India where his work brought him, however dangerous or difficult. On August 22, 1620, Oliver Cromwell married Elizabeth Boucher, daughter of a knight and wealthy Lon¬ don merchant. Mrs. Cromwell may not have had much character, but her husband never ceased to love her, and thirty years after their marriage he wrote to her (the day after Dun¬ bar) : ‘‘Truly, if I love you not too well, I think 1 err not on the other hand too much. Thou art dearer to me than any creature; let that suffice.” For forty-three years the great lawyer and agitator, Daniel O'Connell, poured out his heart to his wife like a schoolboy in love for the first time. His first thoughts were always of her; and nei¬ ther the lapse of years nor the tre¬ mendous pressure of his professional and political engagements seems ever to have prevented his writing regular¬ ly to her—letters which in later years he used to call the 'love letters of your old husband.” It is pleasant to find harmony in the house of a great musi¬ cal composer as well as in his composi¬ tions. There was no discordant note in the matrimonial duet which Mozart and his wife played together. For years she was an invalid, and he U3ed to write by her bedside while she slept. When he went out in the morning for a ride he would steal softly into her room and leave a tender note to greet her waking. Here is one of them; "I wish you good morning, my dear little wife. I hope you have slept well, and that nothing has disturbed your re¬ pose. Be careful not to take cold, not to rise too quickly, not to stoop, not to reach for anything, not to be angry with the servant. Take care also not to fall upon the threshold in passing from one room to another. Keep ail domestic troubles till I come, which will be soon.” PATON’S EXPERIENCES. Few ministers of the gospel have fig¬ ured in circumstances of greater peril than has Dr. Paton, and some of his exploits and adventures are as thril- Singly interesting as anything which can be found in the world’s romance. Dr. Paton is now spending several weeks in the United States, where he is raising money with which to prose-. cute his work in the New Hebrides. Recently he passed through Atlanta, where he delivered addresses which are pleasantly remembered by those who were fortunate enough to hear him. Dr. Paton first went to the New Hebrides in 1S48. On account of his influence over the cannibals in that quarter he acquired in time the compli¬ mentary designation of king, and to¬ day the New Hebrides are completely under the domination of the gospel.

He was given medical attendance for about three weeks when the doctor said it was scrofula and ordered a salve. He wanted to lauce the sore, but I would not let him and contfhneil giving him medicine for about four months when the bunch broke in two places and became a running sore. Three doctors said it was scrofula and each ordered a blood medicine. A neighbor told me of a case somewhat like our baby’s which was cured by Hood’s Sarsaparilla. I decided to give it to my boy and in a short while hia health improved and his neck healed so nicely that I stopped giving him the medicine. The sore broke out again, however, whereupon I again gave him Hood’s Sarsaparilla aud its persistent use has accomplished a complete cure.” Mrs. Nettis Chase, 47 K St.. N. E.
