ST ———/;, THE EVENING STAR: WASHINGTON. Ignorance too Often Makes Lives Short-— The Knowledge of Paine’s Celery Com- pound Essential to Good Health in Many Csses-—What Mrs. Vickery Says: ‘The persons who urze patience and submission to fil-health are to be condemned. It is ignorance oftener than anything else that makes life short. Ignorance of the value of Paine’s celery compound is to be pitied. Read this letter from Mrs. F. F. Vickery of East Aubarn, Me.: “Some four weeks ago I was suffering from one of those awful bad headach’ which have been my companion for the past year, only worse at times. My back ached, I did not sleep well, had ‘Moe frightened nights, which only those who ‘MRS. F. F. VICKERY. are nervous can understand. Did not care whether Tate anything or not; rather not.

Its Contents the Subject of Testimony in the Arnold-Kramer Trial Today. ‘The Schneider execation was on the tongue | of almost every man who entered the Criminal | Court this morning to take part in or listen to the Arnold-Kramer homicide trial. The oprisones arrived from the jail about the ‘teual time, but he showed no evidence of being disturbed on account of the scene at the jail in the early morning hours, He, however, had discussed the affair, and the stigma on the family name he thought was much worse than the execution itseif. It was s few minutes after 10 o'clock when the prisoner arrived at court, in charge of Deputy Marshal Springman, and = few minutes later Mr. Davis called a boy named Jerome Lyons. He testified that while Kramer boarded at his (witness’) mother’s house he showed witness a large revolver. Witness thought it was a navy revolver. ‘The next witness sworn was a colored waiter named George Hawkins. He had worked for Mr. White, the ladies’ tailor, where he met Kramer. Witness was present when Kramer and White had adifficulty about money mat- ters and Kramer assaulted White. “What did be say to Mr. White, if anything?” asked Mr. Davis. “He said something about « knife,” replied witness. “I think he said, ‘I'll get even with you and nek a you meee He thought Kramer hada very ugly sition. In this connection . Davis seid he would like to offer in evidence the Police Court record of the case, which he read, showing that Kramer was fined €1 for the assault. KRAMER’S TRUNK. ‘Mr. Arthur Kemp, representing the property clerk of the police department, was next called, and he gave evidence ss to the condition of Kramer's trunk. The trunk was in court. Witness said the trunk was not in the condition now that it was when he first saw it. A valise, he said, had been put in the trunk to keep it from getting misplaced, and the contents were not in the same good order. Witness had met Kramer when he appeared as witness ina case before the police trial board. He was not familiar with the deceased’s handwriting. Witness said that when Mr. Block made an ex- amination of the trunk and valise he remembered seeing a number of cartridges, razor and a number of letters in the trunk, but witness was unable to give any definite in- formation about the particular letters wanted. Mr. Davis also asked witness about some seraps of paper, the original manuscript of Kramer's advertisements in the newspapers, but witness did not know just where to find them, and he was excused for awhile. Detective Mattingly next gave evidence con- cerning the trunk and its contents, ‘TO SPOIL BiS WIFE'S BEAUTY. J.D. Sublett did not respond when his name was called. . Mr. Davis then called Mrs. Gertrude Mitchell. She said that her husband was a newspaper man and that Kramer came to see him a num- ber of times. Witness saw him only a few days before his death, when he came and wanted her husband help him to find his wife. “What was his general conduct?” Mr. Davis asked. | “He always seemed to me,” reqponded wit- | nes ‘that he was a man out of his mind.” | Witness szid shefueard Kaamer say that be in- | tended to kill the man who was with his wife, but he would not kill his wife.

The hearing was adjourned until today. —__- —_— IN THE HOTEL CORRIDORS. Congressman Michael J. McEttrick of Boston, who will represent the tenth Massachusetts congressional district in the next Congress, will occupy the unique position of being the only | independent in the House. Mr. McEttrick is a democrat, but ran 2,000 votes ahead of the reg- ular nominee, and in a field of four was elected by 800 plurality. He has served seven terms in the Massachusetts legislature and one term in the state senate. “When a woodman starts to chop down very large tree with avery small ax it takes him a long time,” said Mr. McEttrick. “And | so with the republican majority in Massachu- setts. ‘Thedemocratic party hus been for years in the minority on national issues, but we are slowly but surely cutting throug the stump of the grand old party and before long we will level the tree to the ground. “The future of the democratic party in Maseachusetts is very bright and it is develop- ing and expanding in ® manner which gratifies the rank amd file exceedingly. ‘The tariff ques- tion and the sound principles of the democratic platform have ballasted the party, while the Roople have an abiding and abundant faith in r. Cleveland and his ability to carry out the principles. ‘Boston, to my mind, is democratic for good. understand that the friends of Mayor Mat- thews say that he doesnot want s renomination, | If this ia the case the democrats should put up | an equally strong man. Gov. Russell is the most popular democrat in Massachusetts and his hold upon the people is quite remarkable. Thave just returned from a trip through the south. and when the southern people spenk well of a Maseachusetts man it is certainly good evi« dence of his popularity. He can have the re- nomination if he wishes it. Should he accept it Ihave no doubt of his again leading the democracy to victory. If wise nominations are made I expect in time to see Massachusetts democratic state.” “Esquimo maidens,” said W. C. Myers, assistant engineer of the United States revenue cutter Rush, at the Ebbitt, “‘are not pretty asa class. They all incline toward obesity, are short and squatty in stature and every one of them is bow-legged.

It was just three minutes after 11 o'clock | when Mr. Davis arose to argue the question of the contents of the letter and just then the voice of a boy on the ouitade was heard crying “Ex- tra Star.” Several persons left their seats and went out the door and a minute or two later many per- sons im the andience were reading Tue Stan's THE EVIDENCE ADMITTED. | Judge McComas decided to admit the proof and witness resuming told of the contents of | the letter as faras she could remember. She also told of her conversations with Kramer how he told her that his wife bad employed a second-hand lawyer, who was apparently well jeased with ‘her. He always expressed jove for his wife, and repeatedly said that he would not harm her. Witness saw the notice of the marriage of Kramer and Laura Bowman. The latter boarded at her ( witness’) house when she first came from Front Royal. Mra Kramer had told witness that she was tired of working and she thought that Kramer ting a good salary. Before Kramer came on the scene witness had heard of Laura Bowman's marriage to @ man named King. Witness questioned her concerning an alleged scandal in the country, and she finally admitted that she had done wrong, and said she wanted to reform and do better. KEAMER'S VISIT TO FRONT ROYAL. Col. J. D. Sublet of Front Royal, manager of | the Hotel Royal at that place, testified that he | Was at the hotel in March, 1392. Witness was shown a photograph of Kramer and he identi- fied it as the photograph of 2 man who was at his house Saturday night, March 12, 1892. Wit- ness produced the hotel’ register showing the | signature “J. Kramer.” Witness told of the arrival of Kramer at the hotel that night about 8 o'clock, Witness ex- tended his hand. but Kramer did not take it. He walked into the dining room and then t the parlor, evidently looking for some ‘Then he appeared at the counter and regis- tered.

Following the article came an editorial a few | days later in which it said: “It as plain asa pike staff that this civil rights league is an anti- American organization made up of rank royal- ists, contrived to delay annexation and if pos- sibie to prevent it altogether. It 1s intended to serve asa nucleus for malcontents and all who sympathize with the desire to replace present order by former anarchy.” ‘MINISTER STEVENS’ DEFENSE. “While Ihave been accused of precipitating s revolution” said Minister Stevens, “the fact remains, and wiil be vouched forby here, that I did not desire the responsibilities that would devolve upon me in the event of a change in the government of Hawaii, and when the Jones ministry was appointed and I went with the Boston to Hilo I was relieved. for I thought the government was in gcod hands. We returned, however, to find the best ministry’ in some respects that the islands had ever had ousted from office and a different set in their plates. The revolution followed and I can say that in taking the course which I did Iwas simply following the policy specif- ically laid down under Secretary Bayard for just such a contingency and which, as history shows, has been the logical policy of the United | States. ‘Yhere was a time when it was thought | by our Representatives in Congress that a coal- ing station and naval rendezvous at Pearl har- bor would amply manifest our authority here, | but that view would not bave been generally sustained in the face of the revolution.” HIS PRIVATE LETTERS PUBLISHED. Minister Stevens said that letters which he had rent to Washington bearing on the affairs on the island were not written with a view to publication, but be saw from newspapers that they had been given ut, together with the | f official documents. These letters, hey, , expressed his views, although they might | be open to criticism of the opposition here. He | thought that the treaty as published was a care | lly drawn and eatisfactory document, and it | might be that the Senate would deem it’ wise to | ratify it ere long. “Did not England,” he said, ‘‘take a stand in | Samoa because she was practically forced | thereto by the cry of the Australian colonies that they were being betrayed by her inaction. | Sohere any great delay, if such were likely, | might impair our relations with England. Canada and the Canadian Pacific railroad. which is straining after every point t maintain its commercial supremacy, is | urging the English government to action and it may lead to a protest from the Giad- stone ministry, which would not be desira- ble. A popular vote on the question of annex- | ation taken here would be useless. for, with the | exception of a certain element and a few inter- ested persons of prominence, there is no strong | feeling against annexation, I aw in communi- cation with prominent men of the other islands and they assure me that there is, if anything,a sentiment in favor of it among the better class of the natives.” soe They All Had It.
