"n the strength of this statement r. motion was made thi morning for new trials f-r Smith and Thorp, convicted of assaulting Miss I'liikftt, but the court promptly overruled the motion and sentenced the men on th" verdict. A strange feature of the case, ar.d one that add to tie belief that the first story Js correct. If the fact that on- of the defendant. Arthur F.ivor, corroborated the first story of th girl to the effect that he and Cook took her out driving and that she Was assaulted by Cook and the other men. as allied, but denied her story that he, Favors, p irtlcipated.

A great crowd was present from Wallen, the scene of the trouble, and Huntertown. whose organized regulators discovered the body in the cistern.

Sellar, aged fifty-six. a wellknown attorney and one of the best known Democratic politicians In the Ninth district, committed suicide this morning by ' taking morphine. He was found In his office in a dlng condition about half past 7 o'clock, and expired a few minutes later. A note, the latter part so badly scribbled and broken as to be almost illegible, evidently due to the increasing effects of the drug, lay beside him. In it he said: "With me life has been a total failure. It might have been entirely different. There has been no one to blame for thl3 difference save myself. I have raised quite a family, and they are. each member, superior In general and special subjects of all kinds. I have been the poorest kind of a linancier for every one, and especially for myself. I am preparing to leave the world, badly In debt to It. "I have, as is usually the case with a worthless husband, been blessed with the bravest, purest, truest and most patient wife ever given to a man. I have abused the best set of friends ever possessed by one man. I ft-el that I am a dead weight, entirely too heavy for the worthy, willing members of my family to carry. Indeed, they will be better off without mo than with me Feeling so, why should I live to be an onus, a dead weight for others to carry. I have chosen the morphine route as the cheapest and most certain. Lot no one try to pay my debts. They are paid by this act of mine. If I could I would suggest a few 1 would rather see paid than others. I freely forgive those who have wronged me." The letter was not signed, as he was . evidently overpowered by the drug before he could write his name. Judge Sellar had been In failing health for some time, and Feemed much depressed by the thought that he was not making the success in life that hU ability warranted. He was a brilliant lawyer, but was careless In his practice. In politics he was well known and figured conspicuously. In 1S he was a candidate for the Democratic nomination for Governor. He was senator from the district composed of Putnam and Montgomery counties in s:C and lsy4. and was a promiret figure in the Legislature. He had been district and county chairman several times and was high in the councils of the party. He left a widow and three children. His wife was a daughter of th late Hon. James Heaton. Judge SelTar was reared a neighbor of Governor Mount, and they were rivals in a country debating society all their school days. The funeral will be held Monday afternoon.

The courtroom was again crowded with men and women. Several Important witnesses were examined for the State and they all declared the prisoner was Bert Glenn. The question that the public Is now Interested in Is whether or not the defendant has false teeth. Every witness to-day said she had and nobody but lawyers for the defense and Ellis Glenn can state otherwise, and this they have not done. The most important witness to-day was J. C. Javne, of Hillsboro, 111., who stated that the prisoner has frequently talked to him about Willlamstown. W. Va., and Marietta. O. He said defendant had told him that she had her hand cut in a butcher shop In Williamstown and it hurt her at times, but, strange to say, there are no scars on her hand to prove this.

Send for Prospectus LITERATURE AS AN ANODYNE. Kflleaey of nook In Relieving; Pain Deathbed Hendln. London Spectatof. That was an Interesting story told the other day by Mr. Choate about James Russell Lowell. "When Lowell was lying on his couch waiting for death he was visited by Oliver Wendell Holmes, who asked his brother poet how he was. Lowell replied that he had forgotten all his bodily pains, for he was deep In "Rob Roy." The story Is not only a testimony to Scott; It Is a testimony to literature as the most powerful anodyne we know. We may well throw physic to the dogs when we can stir the pulses of our declining frame by the words of the great masters of human thought and emotion. The particular kind of book which cheers and consoles a human spirit in times of bodily weakness varies a great deal. Tennyson called on his death bed for "Cymbellne;" George Eilot was found, when dying, with the "Imitation" In her hand; Whewell, the omniscient, preferred In the same circumstances to read "Mansfield Park." But all testified, like Lowell, to the power of literature to ease the distress of the body. Modern science has taught us more and more than many of the ills of the body, however they may be caused and their roots lie deep can often be more thoroughly treated by mental and moral means than by mere material oevices. To rally the moral and mental forces of the torpid nature, to call forth latent moral energy, to make the mind supreme over the body this is the great aim of medical science In many, if not In all. cases. Kven when no chance exists of curing a disease and nothing but alleviation of suffering Is possible, then It Is still the object of the wise physician to rouse the inner mind forces and rely on them, rather than to treat the patient as though he were a mere bundle of tiFues and boaily organs cunningly put together. Whatever of qu3Ckerey there may have been in the development of healing by suggestion, or in no-called mind cures (and doubtless there has been much), still the central idea of the mind cure has forced itself on the reason and imagination of the doctor, and has persuaded him to modify his practice and abandon practical materialism for the doctrine that man Is at bottom a soul. This, we suppose, Is the reason for the power of literature on the sickbed in leading men to forget thir pain and live in another world than that which f i rms to surlound them. Medicine cannot effect this. We administer drugs faithfully, but the patient groans and fosses the night long, kven the most sympathetic nurse too often firds all power of soothing useless. Every conscious moment brings up images of misery and of dread. What is needed is that the patient should be taken out of the actual Into an ideal world, where his imagination may be stirred and aroused Into new relationship with his surroundings. It is vain to enter on the question whether mental surroundings born of the unseen are teal; the point Is that they are real to him. Hf is caught up into the third heaven of delight, and sees and hears that which cannot be uttered. There are few of us who have not enjoyed this experience in the pjidst of an illness which seemed to envelop us In horrors black as night. What a sv.eet sensation It was to emerge from this pit of despair for a time and to sit. a3 It were, in the light of day, taken away from ourselves and borne into some Ideal land! F.en the pain and distress of the Illness itself can almost be excused for the temporary relief. Just as we can put up with thirst fcr the sake of the cooling liquid which follows.

under a higher and purer spell. It takes us out of the actual world, not that it may drug our senses, but that it may introduce us into an ideal world. We are absorbed in new interests, but not in an unhealthy way. We thread the forest of Arden with Rosalind, we tramp along the English roads with Jeanle Deans, we are free of the old haunted I'yncheon house, we enter with breathless eagerness into all the details of Crusoe's strange dwelling, we weep over filial Ingratitude with Lear and Goriot. The world of disordered beds, and medicine vials, and heavy sick-room odors has passed from us wholly; we are in the midst of adventures, we are threading the mazes of character, we are involved in the problems of hate and love, we are back once more in the scenes of youth, when the world was fresh; we have hopes and smiles and tears. Here is the blessed effect of literature on the suffering body through the mind. The great writer, then, is really a good physician, a physician of the body and the mind. Little did Shakspeare or Scott or Dickens dream of the diffused power which would radiate from their works and lighten up the mind of countless sufferers. A chapter from "Pickwick" is as good as a tonic better than most tonics, because we know and see all Its constituent elements. A play of Shakspeare"s is a deep draught of purifying and healing drink, of more value than that In the bottle by the bodside. The nature poetry of Wordsworth sinks insensibly into the soul with its healing and blessing agency. And the hidden but sure sources of spiritual power dominate the body, and reach out Into ail its ducts and veins, and if they do not cure they help us to bear our bodily infirmity. Thus literature lives in the lives not only of those who are vigorous, but perhaps it performs its highest and noblest work In the diseased and the stricken. TIII1 Til A IS Kl) Mil si:. A Calling Which lino Attrnrtel Many Hint Are Inflt for It. Philadelphia Times. During the world's fair at Chicapo there was a meeting of trained nurses from different parts of the world, but it did not have the independent form of an international convc-ntion. This year for the first time in history such a convention will be held, and the place will be Buffalo, where most big things are gathering. The dates are Sept. 18. ly and L'O. and an extraordinarily interesting programme has been prepared. Florence Nightingale will send a paper; Miss Huxley, a sister of iho scientist, will participate; every country of Europe will te represented." and our" own uncqualed nurses will be there by th score. The convention will show, as nothing else has done, the wonderful advance that nursing has made in th medical and sanitary world. At her best tho nurse is doctor and angel combined. The wonders she has performed are as striking as some of the nitrations of the surgeons. Shf is a practical person, and there is a certain mechanism in her movements that makes some of the patients fancy that she goes by clockwork, and that every time a dose Is due a bell rinps, and yet with all this she can walk through the wards wi;h a purely professional interest herself, while at the sme time without intending it making those whom she serves love and dream about her. A ward of crippled men of various kinds and conditions all worshiping the same nurse who is possibly in love with the young doctor forms an interesting situation. But It is this good, healthy feeling that helps patients to get well. Thus good nurses are making lives longer as well as better. Romance always attracts. There Is undoubted romance about the nurse's calling. Many cf them marry well. If they are expert their work brings them close to desirable and influential people. All that is taken Into account by the young woman who is compelled to make her way. Iut thre Is as there is In all romances

Mot: of them never reach the home of the rich in their work. And what Is saddest, many of them break down and ned others to nurse them through long, weary years. An eminent physlcan the head of a great hospital said to the writer of this yesterday that no one would ever know the harm that had been done by the nursing craze. It had brought to the hospitr.la young women who had not enough nerves to see a rabbit skinned, much less to witness human agony. Most of them had made up their minis to be nurses and nothing could change them. So they used all the Influence they could and got In a hospital somewhere. This doctor pointed out a dispatch that was printed In the Philadelphia Times a few days ago telling of a young nurse who had gone raving mad on witnessing a surgeon's work. Other instances might be given. Hut probably the worst evil Is the tendency to the use of opiates and stimulants. Some of the nurses have to do It or die and the result Is about the same, for such habits, when once contracted, generally kill them. All this, of course, is the darker side. The strong nurse, with fine nerves and a natural aptitude for the work. Is simply splendid, and she grows finer and better In the doing of good. The great advance that will be slrown at Iiuffalo will be in the care that has been taken to promote the efficiency and safety of nursing by more rigorous conditions of admission. Rut there will always be small and less strict enterprises where young women entirely unfitted for th work will be ruined in health nml happiness. Before deciding to become a trained nurse the young woman should spend a Jong time in prayer and a longer tlm in experiments. As to the further opportunities of the calling, the same can be said of it that the French savant said of Journalism It leads anywhere so you get out of it in time. vATi:itiKoor hm i:rmTs. A rrurm lurful nt Time u All IM10tocrnpher. Mines and Minerals. There who have experienced the annoyance of having blueprints discrdored and blurred by rain, droppers fn mines nl moisture in fieneral will appreciate a simple and inexpensive method of waterproofing the prints which renders them complrtly Impervious to weather and wattr. The waterproofing mdlum Is refined paraffin, ar.d may be applied by immfrsjiig the print in the melttd wax. or more convtniently as follows: Immerse in nulled paraf-f-n until saturated a number of pleees of an ab.-oilent cloth a foot or more square, and when withdrawn anil cooled they are ready for use at any time. To apply to a blueprint, spread one of the saturated cloths on a smooth surface, place the dry print on It with a second waxed cloth on top and iron with a moderately hot P.atlron. The pajr immediately absorbs paraffin until saturated and becomes translucent and hlchly waterproof. The lines of the print are Intensified by the process and there is nu shrinking or distortion. As the wax Is withdrawn from the cloths more can bo added by melting :nall pieces directly under the hot iron. By Immersing the print In a bath of melted paraffin the proics Is hastened, but the ironing is necessary to remove the surplus wax from th surface, unless the paper !s to be direitly exposed to the weather and not to b hruUM. The Irons can be heated in mct office by ga or over a la.rp. ar.d a mpply of saturatM cloths obviates th neces:y cf the buth. This process, which was originally applied to blueprints to be carried by the engineer corps in wet mines, is equally applicable to any kind of paper, ana is convenient for waterproefjnß typt written or othtr nctlces to be posted up and expoicd to th weather.
