McFarland and had seen him at the house. He came to dress Mrs. Sheedy's hair. He would stay probably half an hour dreesing Mrs. Sheedys hair. Witness remembers the night of the assault but was not at the Sheedy house----was at home. Was at the dress-maker's on Saturday (the day before ) and only saw McFarland pass by. She had seen someone about the premises after dark one night previous to the assault ; stood near the pump, which stood at the southeast corner of the house.
The person looked black to the witness. She went into the house after seeing the man. Don't know how long this was before Sheedy was struck.
Witness knew Johnnie Clowsen and had seen him at the house often. He would take baskets away from the house. The baskets were filled by Mr. Sheedy and she did not know what they contained but empty dishes were brought back. Witness remembers the shooting out in the yard and this person was seen after that time, and about 10 o'clock at night. Sheedy was away from home and the witness told Mrs. Sheedy. but she said nothing. The witness was within six feet of the person ; he was standing still and did not run. While McFarland dressed Mrs. Sheedy's hair witness was always in the kitchen. Witness saw McFarland at the house after the assault ; throught be called for Mrs. Sheedy.
This was at 10 o'clock Monday morning, after the assault. He was met at the door by some man who was there and refused admisson. He there came to the kitchen door and was there refused admittance. He said he wanted to see Mrs. Sheedy. Mrs. Sheedy returned from Buffalo the day before fair.
Witness knew A. H. Walstrom ; met him at Sheedy's house at summer ; met him after that in parlor at night. Don't know whether Sheedy was at home or not, nor how long the caller staid, as witness left about 8 o'clcok. She came back about ten and he was gone. Mrs. Sheedy would go out during evening, alon, and would return about ten. Witness saw Walstrom at the house four or five times.
Doesn't know whether Mrs. Sheedy has his photo or not. Does not know of Johnnie Clowson carrying notes, but heard Mrs. Sheedy say the baskets were put up for a friend.

MISS BODENSTEIN TESTIFIES.
Cross-examined by Strode :
Yes, Johnnie was in the habit of coming to the house frequently. The baskets were filled with provisions like cake, chickens, etc. Johnnie never eat at the house that witness knew of, other than lunch. Witness does not knew whether these baskets were filled for both or one of these gentlemen.
Witness stated attorneys for the prosecution had talked with her three times ;
also Policman Schmidt. Was told by Mrs. Sheedy to tell the whole truth before the coroner's jury. Mrs. Sheedy would always get the water to wash her hair with;
witness never. He doors hung between the dining and sitting room ; there was between kitchen and dining room. Did not hear Mrs. Sheedy tell Mrs. Sheedy, when he came home, that a man was seen in the yard. Heard nothing about a drunken man in saloon nor saw drunken men in the yard, where the little saloon stands, on that night. Witness was certain it was Monday McFarland who called at the house the day after the assault. Thinks it was a small man (Courtany) who refused the negro admitance. Witness never saw A. H. Walstrom at the house after Sheedy died. Is certain of seeing him there five times. Once he went riding with Mr. Sheddy. Never saw the darkey there, " for sure," except at times when he dressed her ployer's hair. On the night of the first assault witness was upstairs and did not come down, so saw no one, though heard the shot.
Lamberston--- "On the night you saw the person in the yard did you recognize him as Monday McFarland ?"
Witness--- "Yes."
Strode----" Simply because it looked black?"
Witness excused.
The next witness called was Mrs. Charles Carpenter, a neighbor of the Sheedys Questioned by Hall. Lived near the residence for four years and knew Mr. and Mrs. Sheedy six year. Visited frequently and was very friendly with Mrs. Sheedy. Was acquainted with Walstrom and met him at the residence of Mrs. Sheedy about 7 p.m. and introduced by Mrs. Sheedy. Witness and sister only staid but fifteen mintutes at that time. Sheedy was away. Walstrom and Mrs. Sheedy were left in the parlor. Next met the gentleman at her own house, he coming home with witness and sister ; didn't know why walked home with them.
Witness sister went after Mrs. Sheedy and she came. Mrs. Sheedy and Mr. Walstrom left together after staying half and hour. They met at witness house after that, Mrs. Sheedy coming first ; Walstrom came twenty minutes later. They occupied the parlor ; witness was not with them all the time.
They did not leave together.
This was three or four weeks after the meeting at Sheedy's.
Witness never saw Walstrom after this. Had seen Walstrom 's picture at Mrs. Sheedy's house before meeting Walstrom. When witness met Walstrom on the street it was at Twelfth and Q---he was going south, witness and sister north ; he stopped and began the conversation. Witness never saw Mr. Walstrom and Mrs. Sheedy together only at times mentioned. Cross-examined by Strode : Witness never saw
McFarland around the street or residence of Sheedy and saw nothing wrong in the conduct of Walstrom and Mrs. Sheedy.
Questioned by Hall : " Do you know Monday McFarland when you see him ?"
Witness---"No, sir."
Hall---"Then how do you know you never saw Monday around the street or house?"
Witness----"I don't know?"
Witness never heard of any ruptare in the family. At the time of his last illness Mrs. Sheedy appeared very much affected and anxious for his recovery.

HOW HUMIDITY IS MEASURED.
The Whiding Paychrometer and a Table
of Figures the Only Applianess.
The Paychrometer, a sketch of which appears in this article is the instrument used to measure the bumidity of the atmosphere. This is the way it work:---
On each of the iron rods is fastened a thermometer precissly alike save that the bulb of one of them is covered with a small linen sheath. The observer wets the covered bulb in a cup of rain water that is standing in the room. In a fallen sufficiently the observer turns the handle of the crank shown in the sketch, and the two thermometers revolve, making a whlrring noise as they beat the air like the arms of a windmill. Half a minute of turning is enough. Now it will be seen that the wet thermometer registers a lower temperature than it did before it was moistencd . while the dry thermometer does not differ in its registration.
The observer notes the two registers, and when he returns to his office he consults a table of figures, which gives him the amount of humidity in the atmosphere at the moment he made his obseration. On the day that I witnessed this measuring operation says a reporter for the N. Y. Herald, the dry thermometer registered 70 degrees and the wet one recorded $5. From these two figures the observer annouced that there was forty-two per cent of humidity in the moisture.
" The amount of moisture now present in the atmosphere," exlained Sergeant Dunn, who made the observation just described, "is in ratio to the amount when the atmosphere is thoroughly saturated, which 100 per cent. Owing to the expansion of warm air the atmosphere has a greater capacity for moisture on a warm than on a cold day.
That is, the atmosphere can take up more moisture on a warm than on a cold day. Our humidity now stands at forty-two per cent. In case the temperature should increase and the evaporation remain stationary, the per cent of humidity would decrease because of the greater capacity of warm air to hold moisture. The moisture would not be any less, but it would be diffused over a greater area. If, on the other hand, the temperature should decrease, the humidity would show a greater per cent. A

serious fall in temerature would cause sufficient condersation of moisture to produce a rainfall.
" I have known the thermometer to register 90 degree and the psychrometer to record ninety-five per cent of humidity in the atmosphere and yet no rain fell. On the other hand, I have known rain to fall with only seventy per cent of humidity in the atmosphere. The amount of humidity in the atmosphere up to the point of complete saturation, which is 100 degrees, does not necessarily produce rain. It requires other conditions than that to cause rain. The humididty must be condensed before rain can fall."
" What is the highest per cent of humidity you have ever observed in the atmosphere where rain did not fall?"
" I have known the humididty to be ninety-nine per cent with no rain, but there was a dense fog, which is almost the same as rain."
" Or a haze?" I hazarded.
" Not at all. " Haze always means dry weather. The driest weather we have
is apt to be hazy. The haze results from minute sediments taken up by the atmoshpere. Whem the humidity is 100 per cent and the psychrometer is whirled the two, thermometers do not show the slightest variation. The evaporation of the moisture in the linen sheath does not have any added effect. No matter how hard the instumeny is whirled, the registers remain the same. The normal humidity at this station is sixty-two per cent. When it goes above that figure we are apt to suffer.
" We have always measured humidity, in one way or another, but it was only a few years ago that the psychrometer was invented, so as to give all stations a uniform basis of measurement. The new table figures we used was made up a year ago. Before that time the observer had to go through a long calculation before he could figure out the humidity after he had made his observations.

A Disappointed Policeman.

" Well, that's the woorst I iver saw," said Policeman Double X, as he stool mournfully twirling his club on a corner on Harlem street at 2 o'clock che chilly morning last week.
" What's the matter, officer?" asked a sympathizing and curious newspaper man.
" Matter enough. You seem there's a new man at the saloon at the corner beyant, and not knowin him well I to't I'd hit him easy like the fuist toime.
So I dropped in at the family enterance and sez I to him, frindly like, ye know, Could you give me a drink ay wather? sez I, winking mildly be times.
'Av coorse I will,' sez h, handing me a glass through the growing hole. An' phawt do you think ? It wuz a glass of water. Begorra, phawt some men don't know would balsht a rock. "
