Concluded from Page 3
rntlon, signed by a person named
Davis. Did the defendant Little exer
cise proper cure In publlshlns this ut
tack on the character of the prose
cutor? Was It necessary to publish it
at all? "What was the occasion which
called for the publication of such nn
article? Reference has been made to
the use of th word "hoff." and the de
fendant explains that by savins that

the piosecutoi
Words are supposed to be used ac
cording to their ordinary meaning. It
is for the jury to decide what mean
ing to attnch to the expression that 1
liave inferred to The prosecutor Is
charged in this article with treachery
to a Soulier by tno name or joirmmu
and the fact that Jereml.ih failed to
Ret the janltorshlp of a school is made
the basis of a fierce attack upon the
prosecutor, Reforc using the fact in
onnectlon wl,th Jeremiah It was the
duty of the publisher to verify the In
formation It seems that Mr. Jeremiah lives on
the West Side, and it was an easy mat
ter to find out whether the fact was
true or not. The only defense made
by the defendant Little as to the pub
lication of this article entitled a "Caul
from a Woikman" is that he recplvcd
it from a toiiesoondent, and that he
had also heaid the same report from
others. Is that, gentlemen of the jury,
a satlsfnctoiy explanation? Does It re
pel the presumption of malice which
attaches itself to the publication of the
article?
If It does, oi If you hae a reason
able doubt upon the question, then you
cannot hold either of the defendants
responsible for the publication of this
article; but if, on the other hand, the
presumption stands, and ou are i-atls.-lled
that this "Card from a Woikman"
was published for the purpose of vllll
fylng the character of the piosecutor,
then ou mav find the defendant Little
especially guilty under this indictment.
NOT Ni:cnsSAR7.
1 do not consider It necessary to dis
cuss the evidence and the law of the
case any further. The responsibility of
finally disposing of the case Is with
you, You ate bound under your oath
to dispose of It according to the law
and the e Idence If counsel on either
side have appealed to our feelings or
prejudice ou must, not heed Mich ap
peals You must perform your duty
without fear oi favor. Let vour ver
dict be a Just one The case is now in
jour hands.
After the diarge Judge lidwaids
passed upon the law points presented
by Attorney Smith Tuesday afternoon,
llefoie the juiy retired Judge Edwards
told them to s,eal their erdlct when
they agreed and bring It into court

FOOT BALL GAMES.
Wesleyan Scores Against University.
Princeton Defeats Pennsylvania.
Philadelphia, Oct. 18. The Univer
sity of Pennsylvania foot ball team
was again scored on today, this time
by the AA cslevan college eleven. Penn
sjlvanla. howevei, won the game by a
score of 17 to fi Wesleyau's. touch
down was made on a 7S-yaid tun by
Wilcox on a double pass and was one
of the longest spilnts made on Frank
lin field this ycai. Pennsylvania's
playing today was nn improvement
over that of hoi last few games, but
the work of the team, ab a whole, is
Mill far fiom what it should be. In
the llrst half the ployeis went about
their woik In n listless sort of wav,
but In the second half the men showed
conideiable spirit, and as ,i result
made two touchdowns In this half,
Wesleyan played a stiong and steady
game
Pennsjhanla made her fltst touch
down In the first half on Smith's thirty
yard tun to the Ave yaids line and
llaie's plunge through the center. Wes
leyan's touchdown was also made in
the Hist half. In the second half
Pennslanla scoied twice. The first
touchdown was made by the Quakeis
fumbling on the ten yard Hue, Do Sll
er picking it up and making the ten
nrds befoie he was downed. The last
touchdown was made on a series of
line plunges and short end runs, Da
vidson taking it acioss the line.
Princeton, N. J.. Oct. IS The
Pilncetons today defeated the Pennsyl
vania State College ejeven by a score
oi 12 to 0. Halves of fifteen and ten
minutes were played and the game
was fast and exciting throughout.
Line bucking and running character
ised the better pan of both halves.
The Pilncetou players outpointed their
opponents In neaily evoiy play The
State college's chief faults weie slow
ness In getting backs staited nnd poor
Interference. The State college sel
dom gained ' through the line One
touchdown made mado In each half.
After lepcated plunges thtough State's
line, Beardslcy landed the llrst touch
down. The second touchdown was
made in the last half by Itetter'
plunge through left tarklp Mills
kicked both goals
AFRICA'S MINERAL WEALTH.
VbIuo of the Gold and Diamonds
Already Extracted.
The mining Interests ot Afilea, espe
cially the wonderful gold and diamond
mines which have attracted so much
attention, are the subject of a chapter
in the monograph Just prepared by
the treasury bureau of statistics on
Commorclal Africa in 1S09. Much of
the recently rapid developments of
lAftlca, . especially In the southern
Iiarts where the greatest rapidity of
development has occurred, Is' due to
tl5, discovery and development of ex
tremeivaiualo mincraldeposlts, The
most valuable ot these are gold and
diamonds, though Incldentnlly It may
be mentioned that the Iron, coal and
.other mineral deposits of the South
and Southeast Africa give promise of
great value when wealth-seeking man
has time to turn his attention from
the gold mines to those which pro
mise loss rapid, but perhaps equally
eei tain profits
That the gold and diamond mines
of South Africa have been, and still
are, wondei fully profitable, however, Is
beyond question The Klmberly dia
mond mines, which are located In Brit
ish tenltory. Just outside the boun
daries of the Orange Free State and
about 600 miles from Cape Town, now
supply 9S per cent, of tho diamonds of
commerce, although their exlstenceJ
was unknown ptlor to 1S67 and the
mines have thus been In operation
nbout thirty years only. It Is esti
mated that SSM.OOO.OOO worth of lough
diamonds, worth double that sum af
ter cutting, have been produced from
the Klmberly mines since their open
ing in 1868-9, and this enormous pro
duction would have been greatly In
creased but for the fact that the own
ers of the various mines In this vicin
ity formed an agreement by which the
annual output was so limited as to
meet, but not materially exceed, the
annual consumption of the wot Id's dia
mond maikets. So plentiful Is the
supply and so comparatively Inexpen
sive the work of production that dia
mond digging In other parts of the
world hns almost ceased since the
South Afilcan mines entered the field.
Equally wondetful and equally prom
ising are the great "Witwatersrand"
gold fields of South Africa, located in
the South African Republic, better
known as the "Johannesburg" mines.
The Dutch word "Witwatersand"
means literally "White Water Range"
and the sttlp of territory, a few hun
dred miles long and a few miles width,
to which It is applied, was but a few
years ago considered a nearly woithless
ridge, useful onlv for the pasturage
of cattle and sheep, and for even this
oompaiatlvely valueless in 18S3, how
eevr, gold was discovered, and In 1S84
tho value of the gold production was
about $i0,000. It increased with start
ling rapidity, the production of 1SS8
being about $,".,000,000 that of 18y0, $10.-
uuu.uuu, 1S92 over $20,000,000: 1893. over
$40,00,000 and 1S97 and 189S about $55,
009,000 In each year. This wonderful
development has attracted great at
tention to South Africa and draw"
thither thousands of people In the hope.
or realizing quick forti-nes. Develop
ment, however, showed that the mines
could onlv be successfully vvoiked by
the ue of costly machinery, and while,
they have been extremely productive
where machlneiy has been used, they
were not of such character as to make
hand or placer mining profitable, as
was the case In California, The gold
production In the "Rand" since
1881 has been over $300,000,000, and
careful survevs of the field by the
use of drills und other pro
cebses of experts show beyond question
that the "In sight" probably amounts
to $3,500,000,000. while the large num
ber of mines which have been locatel
In adjacent territory, particularly In
parts of Rhodesia, give promise ot ad
ditional supplies, so that It seems prob
able that South Africa will for many
vears continue to be, as it now is, the
laigest gold-producing section of the
woild. Recent discoveries lead to the
bfllef that these wondei fully rich
mines aie the long-lost "gold of Ophlr,"
from which Solomon obtained his sup
plies, making "a navy of ships In
i:zion-Geber, which Is opposite Eloth,
on the shoie of the Red Sea in the land
of Edom, and Hiram sent In the navy
111" set v ants, shipmen that had knowl
edge of the sea, with tho servants of
Solomon, and they came to Ophlr and
fetched from thence gold and bi ought
It to King Solomon."
