Theodore Durrant. of San Francisco-, assistant Superintendent of Emanuel Bap­ tist Church Sunday school, was on Fri­ day convicted of the murder of Blanche Lamont, for which he has been on trial since July 22 last. The jury was out twenty minutes and arrived at the verdict on the first ballot. As there was'no rec­ ommendation of mercy the punishment was fixed at death. There was no deliberation at all. The jury had evidently decided upon a verdict before they left the box. .It was 3:33 when they filed out of tlie courtroom, 1628 .Folio Edition of Shakspeare. The first edition of Shakspeare eve:r published was the 1023 folio, which" was issued seven years after the poet's death. Very few copies of this editio pinceps are known to exist, and there­ fore the one that has lately been dis­ covered in the university library of Padua may be regarded as a most val­ uable addition to our literary treasures. . It is complete ^'ith the exception of the title page. The librarian found :t in a box of uneatalogued books. It is thought that the loss of the iitle page explains its having had a place in the literary treasure,' for there is a piece of paper pasted on the cover inside oil, which is written: "Tutte le "opere^di Shakspeare, Cdmedie, Tragedie. Manco il frpntispicid. In capsa'XA laevus." (All the works of Shakspeare. Comedies and Tragedie^- The frontis^ piece, lacliiug. lit the left-hand draw­ er.), ' .

St Jacobs Oil nnd at 3:55 a knock on the door an­ nounced that a verdict had been found. It took just five minutes of actual time to elect a foreman and take the one ballot necessary. As the aged foreman, pale and trem­ bling, read the words that fixed Durrant's fate a noise like the roar of a mob arose from the rear of the courtroom. The next m6ment men were cheering wildly, while women wept hysterically in excitement. The bailiff rapped loudly for order, but the tumult continued for a minute before anything like quiet could be brought out of the disorder. Judge Murphy named the day for sentence, and said lie would then also fix the date of Durrant's trial for the murder of Minnie Williams. During the tumult that followed the announcement of the verdict Durrant and his mother were lost sight of except by the few who sat nearest them. As the last words of the verdict were uttered Durrant made a spasmodic-effort to arise POPHAM'S ASTHMA SPECIFIC Gires relief in FIVB minutes, fiend for a FKEiSti iai package. Sold by Druggists.

Whether planet, satellite or star of the smallest size, lias been commenced at the Paris observatory by Miss Klumpke, doctor , of- sciences and as­ sistant astronomer, in view of the pub­ lication of an international catalogue of the stars. The idea was formed at the astronomical congress in 1SS7, and already 189 photographs have been taken. Some only contain a dozen stars, this being a celestial desert; but others are crowded, even to the num­ ber of 1,500. The average number is 335 stars per photograph. Altogether the catalogue is expected to contain about 3,000.000 stars. A census of the heavenly bodies has long been needed. Now a woman comes forward and will count all of the stars. She will be some time at it, but when the work is done it will be finished. -- Agents-Ladies or Gents, S75 a OraTPla*era,ortakingordersfo^us the materials and outfits, teach the paring, polishing, plating and fin- prices, testimonial", samples fr«»r.

Artist Melehers' Wooden Shoes. A11 American lady traveling in Hol­ land writes that Melehers, the Detroit artist who won the Paris exposition prize in 1889 and has since enjoyed ex­ traordinary vogue on the continent, is quite unspoiled, by the honors heaped upon him. Though lie has dined with the German Emperor he still wears a peasant blouse and wooden shoes, on the plea that lie is too poor for anything better. When lie went to dine with the „wife of the Burgomaster of a Holland town he appeared in this costume, and soaked to the skin by a hard rain. He apologized, not for the clothes, but for the fact that they were wet, aud main­ tained that it was the only suit, hejia.d,. His hostess thereupon provided him with a dry suit of her husband's. B LAX CHE I, A MONT, THE VICTIM. It Ss a Pleasure to his feet, but before he could do so hie mother, with a half-sigh, half-moan, threw her arms around his neck and sunk back into her chair. Durrant's father was not in the room when the verdict was re­ turned. Aside from the spectators Mrs. Noble, Blanche Lamont's aunt, and Maud La­ mont, the dead girl's sister, were appar­ ently the happiest persons in the room. When the verdict was announced Maud Lamont sprung from her seat, clasped her hands and then cried of sheer ex­ citement. Mrs. Noble mixed smiles with tears and shook hands with a number of friends who crowded around to congratu­ late her." ,. The case will be appealed to the Su­ preme Court, and it is expected nearly a year will elapse before a decision will he obtained.
