A Dinner Excuse.

Apologies forpoor dinners are gen.
orally out of place. But when lady
has forgetful husband, who, without
warning, bring homes a dozen guests
to sit down to a plain family dinner
for three or four, it is not in human
nature to keep absolute silence. What
to say, and how to say it, form the
problem. Mrs. Tucker, the wife OF
Judge Tucker, of Williamsburg, solved
this problem many years ago. She
was the daughter or niece Ct am unccr-
tain which) of Sir Pcyton Skipwith,
and celebrated for her beauty, wit,
ease and grace of manner. Her tenn
per and tact were put to the proof one
court day, when the Judge brought
with him the accustomed half score or
more OF lawyers, for whom not the
slightest preparation had been made,
the Judge ha, ing quite forgotten to
remind his wife that 1t was court day,
and she herself, strange to tell, having
overlooked the fact.
The dinner was served with elegance
and Mrs. Tucker, made herself very
charming. Upon rising TO leave the
guests to their wine she said: Gen.
tlemen, you have dined to-day with
Judge Tucker; promise me now that
you willsdinc tomorrow with me-"
This was all her apology, whereupon
the gentlemen swore that such a wife
was beyond price. The Judge then
explained the situation, and the next
day there was d noble banquet 81

TERRIBLE TRAGEDY.
rha J, 'anscript Tomorrow will con-

at Eureka, III.
Sunday morn.' ing the body OF . wo.
man was found in an unused raslroad
cut, the lower part of the face .Sno the
neck having been eaten away by no. 70
The remains were identified rs th0s>
of Mrs. Elizabeth Hedge, . widow,
who lived q mile from the scene Of the
murder. She was collector Of money
for the Methodist church, and had col
lected funds for IL on Saturday, which
with oti1er moneys paid her, made
$3.50 in her possession. Saturday night.
She left Mrs. Gould's house at seven
o'clock, saying she would go to church
that night.
A medical examination proved that
she had been struck on the left temple
with club, and her throat had been
cut with sharp instrument.
During the examination of the body
letter was found pinned to her UNDER
clothing for ,concealment, which tends
to show criminak intimacy between
the writer and deceased. This was
identified by T. c. Workman, Me-
thodist minister, as written by him
two weeks ago, and given to deceased
in church, bnt he denied any criminal
relations.
Mrs. Workman Is woman of vio-
lent temper, which caused a suspicion
that the crime was committed by her
from jealonsy.
She was brought before the coroner's
Jury on Sunday, but went from one
faiBting fit to another.
Mrs. Hedge was woman OF forty
years Of age.

ted that the consumption for the wear
would be but 100000, or at most
ll,OO0,OOO of quarters, and it is pretty

will be needed for the next six months.
Where this is to come from is q ques-
ton which the Corn Trade List cannot
answer. Only 100000 quarters are
in stock, 100000 quarters are afloat
and due in thirty days, and from stock

price will, of course, range upward
again.
