CUBES WIFE'S
INSOMNIA BY STAGE DEVICE.
- - Cleveland, Ohio.?James Benham,
a grocer, has cured his wife of nerivousness
and insomnia by a stage
device.
He saw in a medical journal that
ithe patter of raindrops on the roof
iwould cure sleeplessness. Getting a
;theatre employe to help him, he
:rigged up a thunder and lightning
I maker on the tin roof of his house
inear his bedroom. When darkness
came he sent his son out with the
'garden hose and urged his wife to
(go to bed, saying it looked like rain.
Socn the rumble of thunder and
flashes of lightning were followed by
the patter of raindrops on the roof.
and in a few minutes Mrs. Benham
was asleep. Benham says the trjck |
has worked a complete cure.
Friendlv Act Cost Him His Life.
Just after he had said: "This is
the last time I can help you," Asa
Van Kcuren, a sawyer, was killed at
Pine Bush Hill, N, Y., by being
caught under a log which he was
helping a friend to take from a
wagon.

The jury was out just one hour and

ed to an informal ballot. This was
j cast verbally, and stood 11 for couvic!
tion and 1 for acquittal, Juror Burns, J
| a shoemaker, casting the dissecting J

i Then the twelve men began a dis* .
| cussion of the evidence, which lasted
j for nearly an hour. At the end of that J

j It was a written ballot, and was unan!
imous for conviction.
; Even before Judge Dunne reached
i the courtroom hurried thither by an
j ?
j automobile on receiving word that a
! verdict had been reached, nearly a
thousand men had gathered in Bush
street, and were clamoring at the
doors to be let in. They were kept out
until the twelve men had been brought
j in and seated.
[ As Judge Dunne entered his cham- j
i hers by a rear way the crowd surged
j in!o the building from the front.
Judge Dunne took the bench at j
i once. "Let the jury be polled," he f
j said quietly. The jury was poiled and j
j on being asked for the verdict Fore- ;
man capp said, very siowiy, ana very >
low,' "Guilty."
The silence was broken in a hun- |
dred places at once. A long drawn
"Ah" ran through the crowd. Then
"Good!" cried a voice in a far corner
and "Good! good!" echoed another
spectator farther in fron:. Rudolph
Sprecldes, whose wealth made possible
the whole bribe graft prosecution,
was walking swiftly down the
aisle as the sentence fell from the
foreman's lips. He sank into a nearby
seat as though arrested by some
sharp command.
All over the house people were
jumping up, and some of them turned
I to the strangers at their elbows and
I thrust out their hands in enthusiasm
of the long-lcoked-for moment and |
said: "Shake."
"The judgme.pt of the court will be
pronounced on Wednesday, June ,27,"
said Judge Dunne.
"The court will, at this time, listen
to any motion that may suggest itself
to the prosecution."
District Attorney Langdon arose.
"We will ask that the usual way be
pursued," he said.
"You mean," asked Judge Dunne,
| "that you desire the defendant be
taken into custody pending the pronouncement
of sentence?"
"Yes, your honor, we think that
i should be done," responded the state,

j back to jail, at first declined to make
any statement, but later .by advice of
his attorneys, he dltta:ed <he following

I did not expect nor did I receive fair
or even decent treatment at the hands

AN ODDITY AI\;ONG NAILS.
Whoa* Use Turned Out to 3e Quito
Different From What Had Been
Expected.
A man who had often seen on the
fide of a building that he passes in
his rounds down town a sign reading
"Cement Coated Nails," and who had
wondered what cement coated nails
could be used for And made up his
mind that they must be for use in
wharf building or something like that,
under water, where the cement on
them would protect them against rust,
learned upon inquiry that the cement
en the nails did indeed have a protective
purpose; but this purpose turned
out to be one quite different from
that which he had imagined.
For the coating on cement coated
nails is designed noi to protect the
nails themselves, but. the goods in the
boxes in which the nails may be
driven; and this in a manner that to
the man of inquiring mind seemed
quite novel and remarkable.
The cement coated nail is a wire
nail. In these days there are more
wire nails used than cut nails, because
wire nails are cheaper; they
cost about the same by weight, but
there are more wire nails to the
pound, and so wire nails have come
into widespread common use for
many purposes, one of them being
found in the nailing together of many
sorts of boxes.
A wire nail can be drawn more
easily than a cut nail and so with less
likelihood of injury to the box, and
this might seem only another recommendation
of the wire nail in suca
use, as it reasonably might be if on*
of the chief considerations were the
preservation of the box; but the primary
consideration is, of course, the
protection of the box's contents, an<|
here is where the cement coated nail
comes in, and in the manner that
seemed novel and remarkable.
With time and the opportunity the
cover of a light box wire nailed could
be lifted and replaced and the nails
redrlven without showing any markson
the box, and thns there was the
possibility of the abstraction of goods
from such boxes in transit. For instance,
a pair of shoes might be
taken out of a shoe case, and the
cover put back without showing any
- * " inH ' h this

requirement for it along comes the
inventor of the cement coated nail,
which is simply a wire nail covered
with a very thin coating of material
that makes the nail, once driven, stick
so tightly that not only does it hold
more securely but it can't be drawn
without marring or breaking the box,

MORGAN LAID TO REST.
Body of Senator Entombed at Old
Home in Selma with Simple Ceremonies?Big
Crowd Present.
The funeral of the late Senator John
T. Morgan took place in Selma at
nocft Saturday from the Church Street
Methodist Church, where the dead senator
for many years worshiped, and
his body was laid to rest in Live Oak
cemetery in a lot adjoining the tomb
of Wiliiam R. King, who died more
than half a century ago, while he
was vice president of the United
States. Thousands wore present at the
funeral, including delegations from
every city in the state.
Many distinguished men were also
on hand. Besides the congressional
party who accompanied the body from
Washington, there were present Vice
President U. \\. JL-'airoanua, uovernor
Comer and the various state officials,
together with every member of the
Alabama congressional delegation.
The funeral train arrived promptly
at 9 o'clock a. m. and was met at
the union depot by a large escort, consisting
of military, Confederate veterans,
distinguished Alabamians and
the population generally. When the
train halted, Senator E. W. Pettus, the .
venerable colleague of the dead senator,
was first to alight. After he had
assisted the Misses Morgan, daughters
of the dead senator, from the train,
they were escorted to carriages in
waiting.
The casket was then removed,, and
it was placed in the waiting hearse. A
delegation of women literally covered
it with flowers picked from Alabama's
native soil. The flowers were tossed
upon the casket until the doors of the
hearse were closed and the solemn
march to the church began.
Arriving at the church, the casket
was placed in front of the altar. Then
came the masses, v/ho for two long
hours took a last look at the distinguished
Alabamian. During those two
liAiii-j t<*n thousand nersons wended
their way through the church and past
the casket.
Many beautiful designs sent by peo "
pie in all parts of the world were
strewn around the casket. There was
a huge wreath of roses and lilies of '
the valley from President and Mrs. f
Roosevelt. Another beautiful wreath
was ordered from Honolulu by (
VHatch." Another was ordered by cable
from friends in London. In addition,
there were hundreds of floral <
offerings from Confederate Veterans t
Daughters of the Confederacy, commercial
organizations and private cit- *
izens generally from all over the
south. ,
The funeral services, which were
held at noon, were conducted by Dr.
W. P. Dickinson, pastor of Church
Street Methodist church, and consisted
of scriptural readigs, songs and
prayer. The church has a seating capacity
of 1,100 and every seat was
taken with many standing*. A still
greater number were unable to gain
admission.
Sentinels were placed on duty at
every floor to keep the crowd out. Rel- .
atives and national and state representatives
occupied two hundred reserved
seats directly in front of the
altar. The church exercises were
soon concluded, and while the casket
was being returned to the hearse the
band outside the church played "Lead,
Kindly Light." Many wept as the
strains of the favorite hymn of the,
late President McKinley, a warm ;
friend of Senator Morgan, floated upon
the noonday air. The procession to
Live Oak cemetery was even larger
than that from the railroad station I
to the church, various delegations and I
distinguished visitors, among them be: i
ing Vice President Fairbanks ana sen- i
ator Foraker, having arrived meanwhile.
All the business houses were closed
apd emblepis of mourning bedecked
every building on the route. Everywhere
the wheels, of industry had stopped
for the time. The services were
simple, consisting of the reading of
the Methodist ritual and a prayer.
