A Nice Legal Point. Indian courts have to decide queer questions. The Buddhists of Japan presented an Image to the great temple of Buddha Gaya.. The Hindoos objected to the acceptance of the present, especially the abbot of a Sivaite monastery near by, who claimed, under a decree 400 years old, the right to determine what should go into the temple. A mob broke into the temple and carried off the image. Some of the rioters were fined, but appealed to the Supreme Court at Calcutta, which has just decided in their favor, having ascertained that the Abbot’s claim was legal. The decision will cause trouble between the Buddhists of India and those of Burmah, Ceylon and Japan. The State of Georgia has developed greatly since the war, tne estimate how reaching the respectable total of $251,©68,124.

HOLMES IS TO HANG

MODERN BORGIA CONVICTED IN PHILADELPHIA. Arch Fiend Monster in Human Form Found Guilty of Murder in the First Degree—Jury Needed No Time for Debute. _ J Gallows Awaits Him. Henry H. Holmes, otherwise Herman W. Mudgett, swindler, bigamist, murderer and arch fiend, has been arrested in his career ofcrime by a verdict of murder in the first degree, that is'likely to send him after his many victims into the unknown beyond < the grave. The monster who built in Chicago a labyrinth to snare and kill human game without detection, who slew innocent children without reason or compunction, who inade a pastime of betraying women, ivhe waded through blood for money, who robbed widows and orphans, who exhausted an expert's ingenuity in devising ndw forms of death, wboBiiccessfully swindled insurance-compa-nies of thousands,who escaped detection for years in the most remarkable and varied career in the annals of American crime, was convicted in Philadelphia Saturday of the murder of F Pitzel, of Chicago. The man Who was .about to hear the warrant for his death, who had meted out death to others without mercy and who had gone through trying ordeals almost without a quiver of the lips or a twinge of the conscience, stood erect in the dock, unmoved, apparently unheeding. On his face sat the pallor of death, but it had been there for days, and did not deepen as he gave one'swift glance at the rows of unsympathizihg eyes at his back, turned his gaze at the jury in a blank stare, and clasped his hands behind him. Qnce or twice he moistened his lips with his tongue, apparently betraying a fever of anxiety that he held in check with his iron nerve. These was no other sign of agitation, mill Holmes heard his doom in silence, as though it might have been a dream. The clerk of the court, in a voice op-

pressed with the gravity of his duty, turned to the twelve men in the jury box, and, in slow, measured tones, said the fateful form: “Jurors, look on the prisoner. Prisoner, look on the jurors. How say you, gentlemen of the jury? Do you find the prisoner at the bar, Herman W. Mudgett, alias H. H. Holmes, guilty of the murder of Benjamin F. Pitzel, or not guilty?” The spokesman of the twelve men had not been touched with pity for the prisoner, for he answered promptly, clearly and without a shadow of feeling: “Guilty of murder in the first degree.” The accused stood like a statue as the verdict was being pronounced. There was no tremor in his shrunken form; no twitching of a lip. His marvelous selfmastery had nor forsaken him. There was a tighter clasp on a paper he held in dils bund, but the eyes rested on the jury as though held by a mysterious magnet. At hist Holmes relieved the tension by olearing his throat with a hoarse “hem” as he slowly sank into his seat, and the people tnpved in their seats and turned to make whispered comments. This remarkable criminal, however, was tOigive yet another evidence of bis self-poSßession. His counsel requested the clerk to poll the jury, and each of thi twelve men reaffirmed the verdict which their foreman had already.given. As each name was called Holmes wrote it on the margin of the newspaper. There was no trembling of the fingers which guided the lead pencil, and the writer glanced up at each juryman in turn,, as though fixing the face in his memory. The Court made a formal record of the verdict, and Holmes’ counsel made the expected motion for a new trial. Holmes followed the proceedings in silence, and when an officer indicated that he was no longer wanted he arose alertly without protest or apparent reluctance, and start-' ed out of the courtroom. He was taken to his cellroom, and a few minutes Inter left for the prison, where be will probably remain several months until his appeal is passed on. Holmes spoke to his counsel, Rotan and Shoemaker, in the cellroom before he was taken back to Moyainepsing prison. To them he said: “I foe) that his condemns me. It was an unjust trial." The specific offense for which Holmes was tried was the murder of his confederate in fraud, Pitzel. They had planned that the latter should insure his life, that a dead boc|y procured in some way should be palmed off on the insurance company as that of Pitzel, and the money be pollected and divided. Uoluioa simplified matters by murdering Pitzel nnd getting rid of a partner who would have insisted on a division of the spoils. The only disputed question was whether Pitzel committed suicide or was murdered. 'Hie evidence Satisfied the jury that he'did tint kill himself, but was murdered. That being the ease they had no difficulty in arriving at the conclusion thnf Holmes was the murderer. He alone had a motive, anil he had abundant opportunity. His conduct subsequent to Pftzel’s death furnished ample corroborative evld««a.

Spring Wheat Crop la Said to Be Not Very Good in Point of Quality. The "quality of the new spring crop has been a mooted question. For this reason a Chicago paper has obtained from official sources the inspection returns at Minneapolis, the largest spring wheat receiving point, and presents it as-a very fair index to the character of the last crop. It is a good crop in quantity, but the figures are not. especially encouraging from a quality standpoint. are the re-" turns for the last, three months, flowing the number of car Iqads received and the way they are graded: ’ > Grades— .- Arrg. —Bcpt.

Tne new corn crop is beginning to move —is moving, in fact—hence increasing receipts at all markets are promised. N.i matter what the price is a certain amount is sure to be marketed as soon as ready. Taxes have to be paid and debts contracted during the growing of the crop must be met. It would appear that big crop prices already prevail, and for this reason it would not seem possible for values to sink much, if any. lower. In lowa, Kan sas and Nebraska the producer will get very little for his crop, 12>/i@lsc per bu, perhaps. Oats are not being marketed so freely lately, perhaps on. account of the very low price. Provisions have shown ’a little more life, but are still very uninteresting.

The Hames swept upon the fences nnd outhouses buck of the first row of houses in tire edge of town, burning them, and firing several cottages, but the combined efforts of the departments saved the cottages and fought the flames back.

The crisis is believed to have been passed, though there will be frequent heavy losses until there is long and continued rain.

An English Gunpowder Factory.

The royal gunpowder factory at Walthain, England, bears more the appearance of a pleasure resort than of the prosaic plant that such a purpose involves. 'The factory covers in all its branches a beautiful stretch of wooded land, some 400 acres in extent, intersectecj by four miles of running streams. Electric launches ply between the different buildings, while cargoes of* explosives are conveyed by sail barges, so as to reduce the liability to danger to a minimum. The threshold of the “danger building” Is barred with a board, which not even the inspector may step over without having a special pair of large overboots on his feet, to keep his shoes from taking grit from outside the felt carpet. Once every week there is an explosion within the grounds, which is heard for many miles along the country side. In one part of the grounds is a pond into which the water from the nitro-glycer-ine factory is drained. This extraordinary lake Is exploded every Saturday afternoon with a dynamite cartridge, to prevent too great an accumulation of waste nitro-glycerine. Some times there is already so much In the water that holes twenty feet deep are made, and the water is all blown away.

Mr. W. C. Lewis, who is connected with the artistic advertising department of the Youth’s Companion, and resides at 33 Dwight street, Boston, relates that he had his attention called to Rlpans Tabules by a business acquaintance who expressed a high opinion of them. Mr. Lewis was a good deal troubled with what he describes as a nervous, bilious condition that appeared to be brought on from time to time by high pressure work or special mental activity or excitement, such as would be common at periods of unusual nervous tension. It has become bla practice at such times to take a Tabule —just one—at the moment that he observes the difficulty approaching. It makes no difference when it is. A favorable result is Invariably apparent within twenty minutes. The only noticeable effect is that he feels all right in twenty minutes if he takes the Tabule; while if he does not the nervous, uncomfortable feeling intensifies and leads to a bad afternoon and tired evening. He carries one of the little vials with him all the time now, but doesn’t have occasion to apply to it anything like as often as he did at first Nowadays there are frequent periods of from a week to ten days or even two weeks during which be finds that he has no occasion whatever to make use of the Tabules, but still carries them in his pocket, just the same, so that they may be ready if an occasion occurs. 11l pans Tabulae are eoki by druggists. or by mat!
