Gloves covered the on her wrist and hands and her arks of the re- volver, but nothing could disguise the scathing denunciation of cowardly man- hood which her testimony of ftself re- vealed. After substantiating the story of her daughter relative to the preliminary visit of Whitelaw and the fictitious message which was sent on the day of the assault to lure the young woman from the house, Mrs, Mathews continued with the thrill- | ing story of the assault: Shortly after my daughter had left the house cn the afternoon of the 4th I answered the doorbell and there saw standing those threc men (indicating the prisoners). Whitelaw sald that he had called to discuss the house which he wanted to sall, and all three of them pushed their way past me into the hall. As Whitelaw introduced Davis I turned and saw Nolan turning the bolt and I knew that I was in_peril. slan £ald something about putting his um- a in the hall and Whitelaw suddenly zed me around the waist and threw me hind the door leading Into the back parlor, beating me over the head with a revolver at time. He said that if 1 opened my lips he wouid kill me, so I sat there with the d spurting from my forehead and did net a word unless 1 was spoken to, olan went through the writing desk, Davis searched the bookcase and Whitelaw rum- maged through the chiffonfer. Suddenly Whitelaw rushed over to me and looked at my hands and sald with an oath, “‘She has no | rings.” After vainly searching further, he came over to me and pressing a pistol against my cheek, told me that if 1 did not tell where our money and diamonds were he would blow the top of my head off. I said we had nefther In the house, and in rage he struck me again. Then I opened the door and called ‘‘murder," and Mrs. Morris on the second story heard me and I heard her running down the stairs in the adjoining house. When I vellad murder that brute Whitelaw ran over to me and beat me | over the head terribly, choking me as well. The last 1 remember was hearing Nolan say that they were caught and calling to Whitelaw to hurry. Whitclaw then hit me on the mouth | and made off. The cross-examination of Mrs. Mathews was postponed until the meeting of the ccurt to-morrow afternoon at 2 o'clock. —_— Chinese Gamblers Heavily Fined.

AYOR SCHMITZ appointed his brother, Herbert L. Schmitz, a member of the Board of Pub- lic Works yesterday to succeed the late Louis J. Ohnimus. The new appointee is at present secretary of | the Park Commission, but will resign that ies of his new position to assume the dut office to-morrow. The Mayor refused to make a statement as to what had prompted him to appoint his brother as a Commissioner of Works beyond saying that he wanted a busines: man in the place. Herbert Schmitz has bad a long business experience, which will stand him in good stead in his new po- ition. He was employed for thirteen years In the business office of The Call and was with the Bulletin for three years. He has served as secretary of the Park Commission with ability for the last The office to which he has been ppointed carries with it a salary of $4000 per year and he will have the unexpired term of two years and nine months, Herbert Schmitz is 33 years of age and pupil in the grammar and high scho He is a Native Son, having been a member of Niantic Parlor No. 105 for thirteen years past. The Park Commission will meet morrow afterncon at the park lodge, when Schmitz’s resignation will be acted upon.

The wise ones say that in return for siding with the Mayor, Manson is to be reappointed to his position, but the wise ones forget that the next Mayor elected will have the appointments to the vacancies in Jan- uary, 1904, so Manson's prospective ap- pointment could not be part of the com- pact, unless Schmitz is re-elected.

ADVERTI In the Treatment of Humors With Magical Effect ‘by Cuticura ‘A tumor came on my neck and ina day or two it was as large as half an orange. I was very much alarmed for fear it was maligoant. My friends tried to persuade me to consult my physician; but dreading that he would insist on using the knife, I would not consent to go. Instead, I got Cuticura Resolvent and Cuticura Ointment. I took the former according to direc- tions, and spread a thick layer of the Ointment on the swelling. On renew- ing it I would bathe my neck in very warm water and Cuticura Soap. In a few days the Cuticura Ointment had drawn the swellfng to a head when it broke. Every morning it was epened AN EDITOR’ EXPERIENCE SEMENTS. and bathed, and fresh Ointment put on. Pus and blood, and a yellow, cheesy, tumorous matter came ont. In about three or four weeks' time this treat- ment completely eliminated the tu- mour.
