Belllngbm, Wash., Feb. 26. A spe
cial dispatch from Vancouver, British
Columbia, says that there la no sin in a
woman painting her face, is the opin
ion given at the First Baptist church
Sunday night by Rev. P. Clifton Parker.
He took for his text the story of Jexe
bel and Jehu and remarked that the
system of painting the face is as old as
the hills. Ancient women were fond of
It and modern women also observe the
custom.
"As far as I am concerned." went on
the clergyman, "a woman can rouge If
she likes. I do not think there is any
more harm in a woman painting than in
dressing nicely she does It to improve
her appearance. Some people say It If
wrong, but those people are ever on
the lookout for little faults and calling
them sins, but sins are not these lit
tle -fratltles and follies, sin is the con
dition of the heart."

In opening for the defense Mr.
Dolnh nil that tha m v, k
made out at the time George T. Myers
was engaged in a political contest for
state senator and that ha h
elected two days after the will had
'-ui"iiitniu. ror iw years, he said.
Myers and his wife had lived happily!
Wife Taken to Ashland.
During July. 1101. he said. mW
Myers apparently was in tbe best of
health and vigorous. The month fol
lowing she suddenly became 111 and
tainted. Dr. S. Koblnson was called
and diagnosed the illness as being due to"
sciatic and malaria. Krom that time on
Mrs. Myers continued to fall In health.
Mr. Dolph set forth that Dr. Robinson
was no a licensed physician In the
state of Oregon and the claims he had
made that he was a physician of emi
nence were falBe. ,Also that the physi
cian had lived at Mrs. Stevens' home.
itveniuauy, Mrs. Myers was taken to
Ashland In the hopes'' Uiat the change
of climate would benefit her health.
It was while at Ashland, Mr. Dolph
asserted, that the discovery wss made
that Mrs. Myers was suffering with an
abscess and other complications. Be
fore being taken to Ashland an effort
was made to have Dr. Robinson call in
a Portland physician in consultation, but
he claimed there was none here whom he
could consult.
Annoyed by Trifles.
It was brought out that in February,
18, Myers and his wife had each made
wills leaving the property to each other
and to be divided equally. In case of
the death of either, among the children.
Mr. McOinn said that when Mrs.
Myers died the balance wheel of the
family had gone and that grave trials
began almost Immediately. He said
that Myers had pestered his wife while
she waa alck about the payment of "four
and six-bit meat bills," until she had
been nounded out of the city. It was at
this time that Mrs. Myers was removed
to Ashland with the hope of benefiting
her health.
Almost at the time that Mrs. Myers
was at the point of death, the attorney
charged that the husband was writing
her a letter concerning the settlement
of a bill of 121. loiter when she should
have been absolutely free from all an
noyances he raised a rumpus about the
house over a 60-cent bill presented by a
newspaper carrier.
"We Intend to show that Myers
labored under the delusion that his
wife had been murdered." Mr. McGinn
said, "and that he thought that Mrs.
Stevens and his wife, before her death,
had been intimate with Dr. Robinson,
Myers believed this. He talked to sev
eral friends about It and monlloned it
to people he met on the street soon
afterward. It was a happy family until
Mrs. Myers died. When she had gone
the family had lost lta balance wheel."
It was also stated by the plaintiff's
attorney that it would be shown that
before his death, Myers had given a
bill of sale to a cannerv In Alaska to
his son, George T. Myers Jr.
Sangnter Olren Everything.
Just before noon W. L. Boise was on
the stand and testified that he had
drawn the Myers will. The previous
will, he said, gave everything to the
daughter..
Dr. js. B. ricKie or aiearora. wno was
called in consultation by Dr. Robinson
while Mrs. Myers was at Ashland In
1901, was on the stand. He said that
at the time he was called he saw no
reason why the abscess should not have
been diagnosed by any ordinary physi
cian and that In his opinion if a skillful
member of the profession had been
called in time Mrs. Myers would have
recovered in all probability. From the
indications Dr. Pickle believed that at
first, under the proper medical treat
ment, Mrs. Myers chances for recovery
were about 98 out of 100.
Several other witnesses were ex
amined. Judge Webster denied the motion for
a lury trial and will hear the case himself.
