Etiquette OF Bowling.

The Home Journal says "This is so
simple that one would scarcely suppose
it possible that.a difference of opinion
could exist, and yet there are some who
think it a breach Of politeness If one
neglects to bow, although meeting half
a dozen times on a promenade Or in
driving. Custom has made it. necessary
to bow only the first time in passing
after that an exchange Of salutations is
very properly not expected. The differ
ence between a courteous and famil
lar bow should be remembered by gen
tlemen who wish TO make favorable
impression. A lady dislikes to receive
from man with whom she has but a
slight acquaintance, bow accompa-
MED with a broad smile, as though he
was on the most familiar terms with
her It is far better to err Oh the other
side, and give one of those stiff, ungra-
cious bows which some men indulge
in. Those gentlemen who smile with
their eyes instead of their mouths,
give the most charming bows. AS for
men who bow charmingly at one time
and with excessive hauteur at another,
according as they feel in good or bad
humor, they need never be surprised if
the person thus treated should cease
speaking altogether. A man should
always lift his hat to a lady"

A GaS-prODelfed Roat

Mr.. William A. Lego, of Montreal.
Canada, is the author of novel meth
cd Of propelling vessels. designed es-
pecially for canal-boats, to overcome
the difficulties of horse towage. He
discards steam wheels, ropes, and 9TH
er common contrivances. All that Mr..
Lego uses is large bent. pipe which
is attached to the stern of the vessel.
the mouth of the pipe beng placed
under water, pointing stern-wise. The
pipe rises to the deck, and at the upper
end of the pipe is gas-light and
valves that open inward for the admis-
sion of hydrogen gas and atmospheric
air. AS soon as enough hydrogen and
air have entered-to-wit, two parts of
hydrogen to one of oxygen-the mix
ture takes fire from the gas-light, an
explosion ensues, the valves are closed,
and the great pressure produced finds
vent at the mouth of the pipe, acting
against the water and driving the boat
ahead. The valves then open again,
the gasses flow in, a new explosion
takes place, and SO on. The explosions
follow with as much rapidity as the
motions of steam engine piston, and
thus the boat soon acquires a regular
velocity. Whether the manufacture,
cost, and storage of the gas, and the
working Of the gaseous motor, will
equal the economies and conveniences
Of steam power, and it's propelling ap-
purtenances, remains for Mr. Leggo to
ascertain by trial. -Scientifc Inert

counsel had believed him guilty, but
he assured them that his confession
was untrue and that he was innocent.
The following notice was therefore
printed in the Rutland Herald
= Observation-Disclosures OF newspapers through
ont the United States are desired to publish
that Stephen Boorn. of Manchester, ID Yer
mont, is sentenced to be executed for the muir
der of Russell Colvin, who has been absent
about seven years. Any person who can give

of the innocent by making immediate comnlu-
nication. GOWN is about five teet five inches

Manchester, VI. Nov. 26, 1919. o.
Newspapers travelled slowly then, and
Stephens friends had but little hope
hat this would save him, even if his
story was true. Three days afterwards,
says Mr.. Sargeant,s phamphlet, the
New York Evening Post copied it, and
'ethe next day it happened that the
notice was read aloud in one of the
hotels in New York. Another man
standing near, named Whepley,, said
he had formerly lived in Manchester,
and was we'll acquainted with Colvin,
and related many anecdotes and pecu-
harities concerning him. Mr.. Tabor
Chadwick, of Shrewsbury, N. j., was
also standing near and listened to
the conversation, which made a
deep impression upon his mind. On
thinking the matter over after his re-
turn home it occurred to him that a
man then living with his brother-in
law, Mr.. William Polhemus, of Dover,
| New Jersey, answered exactly the de-
scription of Colvin as given by Whep
ley. Finally he wrote % letter to the
Evening Post, giving his conclusions.
| Whepley saw it, went to Dover, 1denti-
fed Colvin, and, after great effort,
induced him to visit Manchester. There
was great rejoicing in the town, and
Stephen Boom was brought from the
prison to fire the cannon that cele.
brated his deliverance.
The author truly remarks that this
case is without parallel. To the
newspaper alone was due the discovery
of the unconscious cause of the trlal
and conviction of his brothers in-law,
and the prevention of an unjust execu
ton. It needs no extraordinary vision
to see how difficult it would be fol
such case. SO long to remain a mys-
terry in these days, when everybody is
a daily newspaper reader. A few points
in the Kelsey case, now undergoing IN.
vestigation at Oyster Bay, may remind
the reader of the Colvin case but il
Kelsey is still alive, as some maintain,
it is not likely that he can remain un.
discovered by his pursuers, and I'M
conscious of what is going on behind
him for eight years.

FAITH WITH THE DEAD.
A Young Man Commits Suicide Rather
than Break a Promise
FRO, no


From the Troy Press.
s Mrs. Albert Doty, formerly of Han
cock, a young man universally re-
spected by large circle of friends and
acauaintances, and who was connected
with some of the first families in that
and the adjoining town Of Stephentown,
committed suicide at Springfield, ILL.,,
on Saturday, the 9th ult., at 1915 p.
NJ, by shooting himself in the head
with small Derringer pistol, while
laboring under temporary insanity.
The facts, SO far as we have been able
to learn them, are as follows:
Some six years ago the deceased was
married to the daughter Of Mr.. Rufus
Mason, of Hancock, with whom he
lived in perfect happiness until her
death, which occurred within year
after their marriage, and the idolized
wife upon her death-bed .exacted a
promise from him that he would
never marry again, After the death OF
his wife MI. Doty went to Chicago.
where it seems he afterward became
enamored of a young lady who resided
in that place, and to whom, in due
course of time, he engaged himself to
be married. The promise that had
been made to the dying wife seemed to
haunt him at all times, and had so af-
fected his happiness that some time
ago, when he was visiting his friends
at Hancock, he said he dared not
carry a pistol or knife with
him, as the temptation was strong
to take his own life. He was an archi-
tect, and was at work upon the plan of
the new state capitol at Springfield,
Illinois, when he committed the fear
full deed. Upon the night in question
he requested a gentleman friend to
meet him in his room, and to whom
when there he communicated whatever
arrangements he wished to make, and
calmly announced his intention to die
at once by his own hand. The en-
treaties of his friends were unavailing,
for at 1915 P. NJ, the friend, leaving
upon some pretense or other, obtained
promise fram Doty that he would
wait for the friend to 60 down stairs
and back; he (the friend) started fol-
assistance, but had passed but a few
feet from the room ere the sharp report
of pistol announced thai the fatal act
had been done, and upon re.
turning to the room it was
found that he had discharged
the contents of the pistol into his head,
just back of the right ear, causing in
slant death. His friends were imme
diately notified by telegraph, and by
their direction the body was placed il
a casket and forwarded by express tC
Stephentown, at which place it arrived
Tuesday. The funeral services were
held at the Baptist church in Hancock,
on Saturday, at 10 o'clock a. M. De
ceased was about thirty-fve years Of
age, an active, energetic man, and was
commanding large salary. He served
during the rebellion in Massachusetts
regiment, and for bravery and merito
rious conduct in the field, he was pro.
NOTED from the ranks to Adjutant o.
his regiment. His untimely and la
mentable death can but be regretted by

An Extraordinary Creature.

In the celebrated Paris infrmary-
the "Hotel de Dieu "-there is at
present man whose bodily deformity
must be classed among those remarka-
BILE freaks of nature which happen
once in century, if that often. He
has three arms and three legs, but the
third arm and leg are only rudimen-
tary, being much smaller In size and
incapable of motion. In addition to
this, he has some otherno less singular
peculiarities, so that he may be re.
garded as one of the most extraordinary
human beings in existence. He is an
italian by birth, about 35 years of age,
and the father of large family. All
his children are normally built, and he
himself enjoys excellent health. He
stays at the Hotel de Dieu for no other
purpose than to afford the medical
students an opportunity to study him.

CaIhOun's Last Speech.

The Boston Commercial Bulletin
gives this account Of the last speech OF
John G. Calhoun in the United States
Senate. Calhoun came into the Sen
ate Chamber, supported on one side by
his venerable and chivalric colleague,
A. P. Butler, and on the other by Jas.
M. Mason, then Senator from Virginia,
subsequently the emissary of Jefferson
Davis at London. He had been unable
to attend his place in the Senate fol
several weeks, but had devoted his ex'
piring energies to the preparation of 8
great speech in opposition to the adj
mission of California into the Union as
a free State, by which the equilibrium
or, as he termed it, the equality of the
slave-holding and non slaveholding
States would be destroyed. He was
unable to stand without support, and
unable to utter even few short sen
fences without great difficulty. His
large, clear eyes shone with supernat
ural lustre, his long, white hair brush
ed back over his head flowed lightly
in the air. His face was pale and
emaciated, so that the colorless skin
work. The day had been assigned fol
this speech, which, it was evident,
would be his last.
The seats and galleries we're filed te
their utmost capacity, and yet the
silence was oppressive as If In the &C
tual presence of the grim messenger
He calmly and deliberately surveyed
the eager faces before and around him
and being assisted to arise, he sum
moned strength to address the chair
and request that the speech he had in
tended to- deliver might be read by his
friend from Virginia, Mr.. Mason
After the conclusion of the reading
many Senators gathered around the
dying Senator to give expression tx
their respect and sympathy. He lef
the Senate Chamber for the last time
as he had entered, supported by tht
arms of his two friends. He was
taken to his lodgings at. the "Oli
Capitol" and in few days passed tt

A DEAD LINE.
F'Ifty-nine Fights in Less than Two

From the Virginia {Nev.) Chronicle, Oct. 6.


From the Virginia tNev.) Chronicle, Oct. 6.
On Saturday night four pugilistically
inclined gentlemen from Albion, all
well-versed in the " manly art of self
Defense" drew a line across the princi-
pal highway leading from this city to
Gold Hill, just beyond. the divide,
peeled off, and swore that every man
should fight who stepped his foot over
the "dead- Lime" during the night-or
at least until one of their. number
should be whipped by one man dor
no foul play was allowed) Or all of
them should be whipped by a crowd
of passers. The result was SO fights in
less than two hours. The bulls were
successful for long time, and put
heads on some fifty odd men before
they found their match. At last,
however, three robust sons OF
the Emerald Isle happened that way,
and, being attacked, sailed in and gave
the dead liners Gall four of them) an
unmerciful beating, and took posses
sion of the field Ascertaining what
the subjugated enemy had been up to,
the conquerors concluded that they
would run the circus awhile them
selves. They had not long to wait
when two other Irish giants came
pacing down the hill. One of the new
dead-l1ne guards drew his coat across
the road in front of his passing coun-
tryman, and the battle opened at once
with the most savage ferociJy. In less
than a minute one of the three conquer
ors lay senseless in the road, and the
other two were heeling it across the
hill toward the bullion works, with tat
tered and bloody skirts streaming in
the wind. When Greek met Greek,
peace followed, and reigned profound
till morning.
