PRESIDENT'S WIFE
STANDS TRIP WELL.
Providential Rain Settled Dust and
Trip Across Nevada Was
Not Disagreeable.
PASSED COMFORTABLE NIGHT.
McKinley Had Scruples About
Sunday Travel to Hasten the
Journey Chinese Ques
tion Discussed.
Oeden, Utah. May K. Tho presidential
train traversed the State of Nevada lo-tlay
and reached Ogden. at 6:30 o'clock to-night.
The route lay along the Humboldt River,
through the Ruby and Wasatch Mountains
and then descended Into tho Salt Lake
basin. During most ot the day the eleva
tion exceeded 5.C00 feet, and snow-clad
peaks wore 'continually in sight from the
car windows. At this sra.son of the year
tho ride across Nevada la eNcecdlngly dis
agreeable. The heat la oppressive and the
dust from tlio desert It frequently bllnd
int Fortunately for II rs. McKinley one of
theso heavy, rain storms which so rarely
visit this region, swept completely over tho
State last night, laying the dust and tem
pering the atmosphere. It rained also sev
eral times during the day. The weather
seemed almost like a special intervention or
Providence for the benefit of the gentle
sufferer.
Mrs. McKinley had passed a comfortable
night crossing the Sierras last night, but
the trip to-day was looked forward to with
some apprehension. Tho rain, however, re
lieved inn anxiety.
Standing the Trip IVell.
Doctor RUey reported to-night that Mrs.
McKinley was standing the trip very well.
Phe tuffered no inconvenience from the rarl
lliil atmosphere. The day aboard the train
was passed without Incident. The President
makes it a rule ordinarily not to travel on
Sunday, but the present circumstances were
ho exceptional that ho hid his compunc
tions in order that his wife might the
sooner reach home.
No services were held aboard Hie train
ana the President and members of the Cab
inet kept quietly to their rooms the major
portion of the day.
At Carlin, early this morning, the Presi
dent shook hands with some of the people
who had gathered there, among them a
number of Digger Indians who live In thu
neighboring mountains.
Chinese Question.
On the way back to Washington the
President nnd members or the Cabinet are
devoting a good deal of time to considera
tion of the Chinese situation. The refusal
of the other Powers to Join in tho sugges
tion of the United States with regard to
scaling down the Indemnity demanded ot
China was a .great disappointment, though
It could hardly be said Hint It was entirely
unexpected. The necessities of the Euro
pean Powers of maintenance of their large
armies and navies are, pert cps. a factor In
their present action.
The United States will continue to urfla
this view at every opportunity. If the Pow
ers proceed alone and force China to accede
to their demands this Government, ot
course, will accept the share of tho Indem
nity assigned to it on the present basis. v

SERMON TO THE
GRADUATING GLASS.
Young Ladies of Forest Park Uni
versity Addressed by the Rev
erend F. W. Sliced.
The Reverend Frank W. Snced, pastor of
the Washington and Compton Avenue
Presbyterian Church, delivered a bacca
laureate address to the young; ladles of
the graduating class of Forest Park Uni
versity Sunday morning. The address took
tho place of the regular service at the
church. About 100 of the faculty and class
were present, and the seating capacity of
the church was taken up by members of
the regular congregation.
That In all things he might have the
pre-eminence" was the Reverend Mr.
Snoed'stext. In part, he said:
"Christ was not to be classed with angels
or beings. A French thinker, not himself
a believer, has affirmed the conviction that
the study of the data of the Christian
creed has been the most powerful" of all
elements In the education of the European
mind. Rightly understood, this Is true, but
the data of tho Christian creed finds its
source and substance In Christ This Is my
explanation for choosing for my subject
the supremacy of Jesus Christ
'."Consider Christ's Intellectual supremacy.
Here Is a man born In poverty, in a village
despised for its Ignorance, and entering up
on his public work uneducated. Yet from
the first he impresses men as an Intellectual
wonder. When he had finished the Sermon
on tho Mount, we nre told that they were
astonished at his doctrine. When he spoke
to the people at Nazareth, they asked:
'From whence hath this man all these
things? Is not this the carpenter's son?'
"As to tho moral supremacy of Christ
Which of youvlceth me of sin?" Is the
bold challenge which he threw down and
no man has ever dared to take up. All men
admit that he was sinless. So says Chan
ning. Theodore Parker. Jean Paul Rlchter
and freethinkers call him the holiest among
the mighty. But Christ needs no certificate
of recommendation, for men measure him
by his influence. Whenever we come into
his presence we realize that the ground
whereon we stand is holy.
"Christ mado men feel they were sinners,
but In him there was no sin. So In tho
moral realm Christ must have first place.
In the intellectual realm our highest am
bition is to think his thoughts. 30 In the
moral realm our highest ambition is to fol
low his deeds. The keynote of a great life
Is in this text give Christ the first place."

A Proud Record.
"I see that one of the newly appointed
patrolmen made nn arrest within twenty
minutes after he assumed his duties," said
the observant citizen to the experienced po
liceman. "That's nothing." smiled the latter. "I
went to sleep while my commission was
being handed to me." Baltimore American.
M. Zola has told a much more interesting
story In "Labor," his latest novel (Harpers)
than has been in evidence In his work for
some years past. It is also a clean and
noble story In Intent and as a study of la
bor conditions prevailing In France at the
present time. Is full of Interest to the stu
dent of the subjects. The Imaginary co
operative experiment of which he tells, and
which ends In a success that solves the
problem of the rightful relations between
capital and labor, furnishes much material
of a most dramatic nature and Is fully util
ized by the author. It Is worth while re
marking that "Labor" is the most hoperui
and optimistic story yet written by M. Zola,
a fact which adds to the pleasurable emo
tions which it conveys to the reader.

PRETTY SGHOOLMARM
BEOIMES CRUSADER,
Illinois Girl Stmts a Personally
Conducted Campaign Against
Sunday Saloons.
REPUntJC SPDCIAU
Carlyle, 111., May 16. Miss Addia Berry,
the 19-year-old daughter of Frank Bern' ''t
this city, has inaugurated a sort of Carrie
Nation crusade against the saloons here.
This morning she created consternation
among the drink dispensers by visiting every
place where intoxicating beverages aro sold.
Tho saloons here aro not kept wide open
on Sundays, but a person can obtain en
trance by side or rear doors.
Took Xames of Snloon Patrons.
Miss Berry has assumed tho responsibili
ty of putting a stop to this practice. She
went to tho Interior of the saloons, pencil
and tablet In hand, and leisurely Jotted
down the names of those who were In the
room at the time. To-morrow she says sho
will visit State Attorney Ford and Insist
that six complaints bo Issued ngalnst as
many proprietors of saloons on the chargo
of dispensing liquors on Sunday, in violation
of the State law.
Miss Berry started her fight against the
drink dispensers last week by having two
of them prosecuted for selling liquor to her
father. One of them pleaded guilty to the
charge and was lined 20 and costs. Tho
defendant In the other case will hnve a
hearing to-morrow.
Determined In Her Work.
The young lady who has taken 'such a
stand against the saloons is a rather
pretty school teacher, and Is a determined
young woman. In speaking of her experi
ence to-day, sho declured she won a little
embarrassed, when the first saloon was en
tered, but after that It wo In some re
spects a pleasure, since she felt that she
was doing right. Admlttanco was not de
nied her, except In ono place where a bar
rel wa3 placed against the door. Later she
managed to enter this building.
One saloonkeeper Informed the pretty
schoolmaam that he was simply giving his
place the usual Sunday airing, but the bluit
failed to work, so his name Is Included In
the list of those to be prosecuted.
Miss Berry declares the saloons- muBt
close here on Sunday or she will have them
brought before the bar of Justice every
week until the practice Is abandoned. The
proprietors will stubbornly contest the cas?g
and the final results are anxiously awaited
by the people.

TREND OF STOCKS
IS NOW DOWNWARD,
Market Last Week Seemed to Be
in the Hands of the Pro
i fessionHla.
REPUBLIC SHKCI AU
New York, May 26. The character of
Wall street trading during the last week
gave the strongest possible confirmation of
the soundness of the views of the conserva
tive element, which, on the days immediate
ly following the panic of May 9, when se
curities wero bounding upward almost as
rapidly as beforo the crash, gave as the
opinion thnt tho movement was but mani
festation of post-panic conditions, and that
the stock market would surely drift into the
hands of professionals, ,wlth activity cur
tailed and spasmodic outbreaks occurring
from time to time In special features.
Such. Indeed, was tho market ot the last
week. Prices were swayed up nnd down, as
suited the whim of the trading clement,
leaving oil at the end. except In a few spe-
rfnl nacna nltltntit pnnsnlMinni, ma nhnH...

Thero are several straws which show ths
j tendency of the market toward dullness.
nam? xruiu muse which uni paiem to in
casual observer. Stock Exchange seats, for
instance. In three weeks time have declined
from $71,000 to 0,000. and one bear operator
on Saturday deplored the fact that he could
not ecII a seat short.
It Is the custom of Wall street to speak
of tho restoration of confidence since the
recent panic as phenomenal and tho recu
peration of tho market as most remarkable.
So far as recuperation Is measured by price
recovery this is true. It Is highly Improb
able, however, that confidence Li deep seat
ed. -If such were the case no such alarm
us that manifested on Thursday, when
Northern Pacific was bid up 45 points, could
occur.
It would prove a surprise to no one if tho
Immediate security market should develop
along moro conservative lines than In the
past with the attention of the public di
rected more toward the bond department
and Investment Issues thun the highly
manipulated specialties which were moved
into promlnenco last week.
Money market conditions all tend toward
still grcnter ease, not only In consequence
of the curtailment of stock activity and
slowing donn of business, but in conse
quence also of tho resumption of enormous
gold receipts from Alaska and the Klon
dike. In addition to this the resumption of
mining activity in the Transvaal is report
ed, and though it will take some time to
restore tho South African mines to tho
productive capacity of the Derlod before the
war, the effects of the opening of the mines
will be cumulative and will go far toward
relieving tho International money market.

He will be accompanied by the Reverend

the Intention of Mr. Knapp to spend about
live months In Knshind, In which tlm6 nc
expects to get thoroughly acquainted with

whether he will remain permanently In
England or return to St. I.011I.
It was only recently that .Mr. Knnpp has
reached his majority. The estate In Eng
land has been waiting for him to claim it
for several years, but t the advice of his

PRESENTING DEFENSE
IN BARRETT TRIAL.
Accused Will Take the Stand To
Day to Tell How He Killed
Edwards.
TRIAL FULL OF INCIDENTS.
A Miniature Stairway Has Been
Erected Upon Which the Trag
edy Will Be Re-enacted
for Jury's Benefit.
REPUBLIC SPECIAL.
Montlcello, Mo., May 26. Sheriff Johnson
had twelve prisoners over Sunday who were
In his custody because of the Bartlett mur
der trial. They had to eat at a table sepa
rate from the rest of the Sheriffs family
and stayed In a house across the street
frcm the Jail. They were guarded as care
fully as the man whose fate Is In their
handt.
Montlcello is a small place and cannot
afford religious services at every church In
town. It happened to-day that the only
preaching wan at the Methodist Church, and
Judge McKee Inquired yesterday afternoon,
when court adjourned. If the attorneys had
any objections to the Jury being taken Jto
church, but Prosecuting Attorney Hllbert
informed the Court that the neverend Mr.
Sapp, one of Bartlett's witnesses, would
preach, hence the State would object, jiidle
McKee said he supposed the State was
afraid the minister would not confine him
self to "the gospel.
Defendant Will Testify.
To-morrow will be a big day during the
trial. Defendant B. R. Bartlett will prob
ably go on the stand and tell his story. His
evidence will be closely watched, and the
cross-examination will be severe. Mr. Bart
lett Is a shrewd man, and the way be wlU
parry with the lawyer's questions. If they
get dangerous, promises to ba Interesting.
Late Saturday afternoon Mrs. Bartlett
and her 15-year-old daughter. Nellie, were
on the stand and told how they gave Mr.
Bartlett an umbrella when be left the house
on March 8, and related how he had some
time ago lost the cane claimed to have been
carried by him on the day of the shsoting.
The trial in the past week has been re
plete with dramatic Incidents, none more
striking than the manner in which many
witnesses Imitated Bartlett's manner ot
holding tho revolver when he shot Edwards.
Walters, the deaf-and-dumb wlUie3, gave
much of his testimony in pantomime that
was forcible.
Wife and Daasjhter Testify.
Possibly no two witnesses were more
closely watched by the crowd in the court
room than Mrs. Bartlett and Nellie. The
defendant's wife Is a woman ot refined ap-
Eearance and manner. She sits close to her
usband and takes notes copiously. Her
countenance shows at all times the Intense
anxiety she feels over her husband's fate.
Her demeanor on the witness stand was a
source of strength to the evidence she gave.
Her voice was low, sometimes nearly in
audible, but her statements were not mate
rially affected by Lawyer Smoot'a skillful
cross-examination.
Miss Nellie is by nature calculated to
make an Interesting witness. She told her
story In simple language, and the Jury bung
to her words with evident Interest, She
has a graceful manner and a handsome
face, which may have had as much weight
as her words. Attorney Marchand showed
by his closing statement,, after direct exam
ination, "You may question the witness,
gentleman," with a rising; inflection, that

the family for grnerntlonH. This will be
turned over to Mr. Knapp Immediately sp
oil his arrival. In the purk about Danders
Hall are hunting preserves, which have
not been dlilurbed for yearn
Mr. Knnpp was born In St. Louis, and has
never Ixen to England. Ills father came to
this country when quite a young man. The
young man was a favorite of his father, the
late Ralph II. Pybus, who made special pro
vision for him In his will. After his death
Mrs. Pybus married Charles Knapp. and her
two children, Ralph II. Pybus and Georgia.
Pybus, took the name of her second hus
band. he bad no fear of the prosecution's legal
wiles.
Marly of Mr. Bartlett. :
Bartlett himself is a study. Ills near
sightedness causes the muscles of his face
to twitch peculiarly, while he tries to watch
the demeanor of the witnesses. He has
every detail at his tongue's end, and
prompts his attorneys without hesitation,
and takes notes In his remarkable scrawl
ing penmanship, as rapidly as he notes evi
dence of Importance. Vtrv seldom has be
shown displeasure or pleasure at the evi
dence of a witness, although he appears to
catch every word.
There Is much evidence about Bartlett's
eyesight, and whenever a witness sptaks
of the defendant's being nearsighted, the
Jury will glance over to ths slayer of Ed
wards and watch hint Interestedly as he
lowers his head to within two or three
Inches or the scratch tablet in front of blm
In taking notes. When he reads, he UUa
the paper close tohis eyes and closes one
eye, while he scans the document.
Snap Shot of tho Kansan.
Bartlett has aAdeaf and dumb son, about
10 or 11 years old. The boy Is a precocious
youth and Is growing popular among the
people around the Courthouse. He has a
camera and takes snap shots with the avid
ity of an older fiend. Early Saturday morn
ing, when there were only a few about the
Courthouse, he placed his camera In the
street and started to catch a view of the
old building. In which his father Is being
tried for his life. John A. Edwards, the
Kansan, who Is almost as conspicuous In
this case as Bartlett himself, was standing
In front of tho building, and a few feet to
the east. He leaned against a telephone
pole, and his countenance will probably
adorn the picture
Preparing; for a Little Realism.
The Jury now has the whip and the revol
ver In Its hands, the lock from Bartlett's
door, and now the attorneys for Bartlett
have had prepared a miniature stairway on
which the Jury will be at liberty to re
enact the details of the shooting at will.
The bearing this case has upon what is
known as the Bartlett-Senter controversy is
marked, even If the court has assldlously
and consistently excluded all evidence per
taining to the -controversy, except such as
would support the prosecution's theory that
Bartlett's reputed slanders of John Ed
wards were made for the purpose of draw
ing out William D. Edwards Into a quarrel
for the purpose of killing him. It Is this
theory upon which the State hopes for con
viction for murder In the first decree.
Sentcrs friends and several of his at tor-,
neys, with a' number of the seventeen Scot
land countianswho went to Minnesota to
help Senter prove an nltbl, are here. Some
of them say they are interested In Bart
lett's conviction, that tbey may then lay
the facts developed In this trial before Gov
ernor Van Sant and try to secure the par
don of Mr. Senter.
Judgo McKee Is becoming apprehensive
about the close of the case. He has to open
court at Edlna. In Knox County, on June 3.
Countlnc upon the lowest possible estimate.
It will take a day for the State's evidence
In rebuttal, and two days are counted upon,
for the arguments, so that the entire com
ing week will probably be consumed before
a verdict Is reached. The oourt will begin
night sessions Monday.
