FALESIIIIN IN TROUBLE
‘ _
Seem to Suffer More Than Indicted
Tobacco Kings.
PINKERTON MEN IN COURT.
They Are on Hand to \Vatoh Talesmen
For the Tobacco Trust, and Po-
licemen Are Also Present to
Watch the Detectives.
New York, June 10.—-The trial of the
ten millionaire Tobacco trust directors,
so pleasantly arranged that they do
not even know they are being tried, ex—
cept by hearsay, was resumed in part
one, general sessions. Their lawyers
were present to stand between them
and the complaint of the people. When
the court officer called out, “James B.
Duke!” Joseph H. Choate was there to
answer, “Present, by power of attor-
ney." '
The questions put to the talesmen
have already outlined the plans of the
defense. The American Tobacco com-
pany asserts that spite on the part of
a. rival has dragged it into court. The
rival company is to blame for all.
“If it is shown that this is simply a
contention between two rival concerns,
you will be prepared to decide fairly?”
is a question put to talesmen.
Sufl‘erings of Talesmen.
The talesmen summoned are suffer-
ing more than the millionaires they
may be called on to try. Indeed, it
would appear to the lay observer that
it is the talesman who is on trial. On ,
man was forced to admit that he didn’
live with his wife, and counsel just
stopped at asking him why. Another
was asked twice if he were quite sure
that he owned $250 worth of property
over and above his debts. Another
talesman said defiantly that he was
born in Tipperary, and got very red in
the face when, for some mysterious
reason, everybody laughed.
“If the judge should tell you that the
burden of proof was on the prosecu-
tion," one of the lawyers asked a tales-'
man, “what would you think he
meant?”
“I would think that the prosecution
had the best of it,” was the reply.
“Then you would vote to convict the
defendant?”
“Sure. I think the honorable judge
knows what he is talking about."
This talesman took a seat in the jury
box. Another man was asked, “Would
you accept the judge's interpretation of
the law or stick to your own in case
they conflicted?”
“I would go by the majority,” was
the reply.
“Do You Smoke Cigarettes?”
Every talesman is asked whether or
not he smokes cigarettes. Most of them
so far have confessed that they take an
occasional puff. and no one has been
found to admit that he had a prejudice
against them. Counsel for the defense
asks all of them if they know anybody
connected with cigarette manufactur-
ers who are rivals to the American T0-'
bacco company. It is a contention of
the defense that the present charge is
inspired by the animus of business
competitors. Other questions asked are
as to what the talesman understands
by a “trust” and what newspaper he
reads.
Besides such eminent lawyers as Jo—
seph H. Choate, W. W. Fuller and Dan-
iel G. Rollins, the trust has Pinkerton
detectives to watch—no one knows what.
Five or six Pinkerton detectives were
scattered about the courtroom. Their
keen eyes watched everything that was
going on.
District Attorney Olcott, who first ob-
served the presence of a Pinkerton man,
was later told by an employee of the
district attorney's office, “There are a
lot of Pinkerton detectives in the court-
room and about the building."
Police to \Vatch Pinkerton Men.
A message was sent to police head—
quarters. and half a dozen policemen
n civilian clothes came down this morn-
ing to watch the Pinkerton men, on the
theory that the Pinkerton men will bear
watching more than the people.
The Pinkerton detectives will inquire
into the surroundings of all concerned
in the people’s case, jurors and wit-
nesses. If there is any unpleasant se—
cret in the life of any of the witnesses
for the people the detectives will ferret
it out. They will inform the trust’s
attorneys. who will try to discounte-
nance the witnesses by asking them em-
barrassing questions.
The lawyers said that it would take
most of the day to complete the jury.
The attorneys for the trust ask all sorts
of questions. and‘much time is wasted—
a man’s age, his birthplace, what he was
engaged in ten years ago and always
whether or not he is addicted to tobac-
co or cigarettes. The attorneys them-
selves distinguish between tobacco and
cigarettes.
Pennsylvania Crews Off.
Philadelphia, June 10.—-The Pennsyl-

and will undoubtedly steer the varsity
boat in the race.
Torpedo Boat Porter’s Trial.
New York, June 10.—Uncle Sam’s new
flier, the torpedo boat Porter, is having

Peasants Killed by Soldiers.
Budapest, June 10.—Socia1ist peasant
riots have taken place in the communes

darmes at both places fired upon the
rioters. Two peasants were killed, 40
were severely wounded and 28 Were ar-
rested.
“’elty For Governor.
Canton. 0., June 10.—Hon. John C.

ination for governor at the state con-
vention and that he will have the sup-

Albany, June 10.—-Governor Black has

ASTOIIIIIIIIIG EVIDEIIGE.
0f IIorwaIk’s Needs.
And Remarkable Proofsthat
the National Disease
Long Considered
lncurable.
Can be Cured and Has Been Cured
Right Here in Norwalk.
Mrs. William W. Bloom, who lives at
7 Water street, Norwalk, says: “ I have
been troubled with cataarh in my head
and throat for some time. My whole
head was stuffed up; the passages of my
head and throat would at times become
so filled with mucous that I could not
talk, and altogether it was very annoy—
ing. I also suifered a great deal of the
time with headaches. I got a bottle of
California Cataarh Cure at Plaisted’s
drug store in South Norwalk, and I
it is the grandest stuif in the world. It
has cured me of all the disagreeable
suffering I have had for so long; my
throat troubles me no more, and I
haven’t had a headache for weeks. I
have recommended it to several friends
who have used it with satisfactory re-
sults, and we all unite in saying it is a
wonderful medicine.”
California Catarrh Cure is especially
prepared for treatment of the mucous
membrane. It allays the inflamation,
checks the disease and arrests and re-
pairs the decay of this delicate lining.
It is a curative agent for colds, coughs
hay fever, bronchitis, asthma, and all
purely mucous affections. Use it dur-
ing and after a cold, and you will never
have a cold “hang on,” or even reach
the catarrhal Stage. When catarrh is
once firmly fixed in the nasal passages
and throat, it begins to attack the
mucous membrane of the passages lead-
ing either to the lungs or to the stom-
ach. The result of the former course
is ultimately consumption, of the latter
what is commonly called some form of
indigestion or dispepsia. It is catarrh
of the stomach, intestines, kidneys, and
various internal passages. California
Catarrh Cure will prevent and cure all
forms of catarrh, whatever the part af-
fected, and even will check incipient
consumption. It is sold by all dealers;
50cents, three times as much, one dollar.
The Queen’s Awkward Present.
The French canny of New Caledonia
.s troubled by the depredaticns of deer,
which multipiy with marvelous rapid-
ity and invade the plantations, where
zliey do gr mischief, ever; climbing
Jp into the gr‘anaries. A curious fen-
. ture of tha- trouble is that the deer are
but are the ofispring of a
by the
not native,
present made to the colony
Queen of 3 igland.
A scicn' -. writer draws from this
fact a lesson that it is well- to be can-
tious concerning the gifts of animals
we may bestow upon other countries,
1an not make them wither; advice
irom {experts concerning the conditions
and ('ontingencies. Rabbits in Aus-
:mlia the mongoose in Jamaica, and
the New (ialedonian deer afford in-
stances in which such gifts. made with
the best intentions, have resulted dis-
istrously.
It. is said
that the farmers of the
Sun b:- o'.’ : ’ai' -. have also suiTered from
:‘ne ira.:_=ur....,. of deer since restric-
;ioxis were placed upon the hunting of
hem.
Beetles.
There is a species of beetle in Aus-
tralia which acts-the role of energetic
undertakers who carefully bury car-
casses left on the soil. As soon as
they smell :1 field mouse, a mole, or a
fish in a state of decomposition, they
come by troops to bury it, getting un-
der the body, holltfi'ing out the ground
with their legs, and, projecting the
rubbish, they dig in all directions. Lit-
tle by little, the carcass sinks; at the
end of twenty-four hours the whole is
several inches deep. They then mount
it, cast the earth down into the grave
so as to fill it and hide the body from
sight. The females will then lay their
eggs in the tombs. where the larvae
will afterward find an abundance of
food—Golden Days.
