A Discarded woman's Courage

The next night, she returned home,
She found Private Detective Ben
Lackey in charge of the house, and
her husband in the parlor. As she
crossed the threshold she saw that
something was wrong and her step
faltered. She took a seat by her hus-
bands side. .gr
"Lillie, have not been good hus-
band TO your" he said.
"You have"
81 have proof of your adultery
with j. &. Jones'"
She fell at his feet imploringly.
"There is the door, cross it for the
last time"
The woman staggered across the
threshold and tainted. The injured
husband brought her in, revived her
and again said: go! l don't want
to be hard, but you must 60"
The crushed woman walked out
of the door hardly able to stand, aud
then recovering her nerve, began to
throw flower pots through the win

mosphere pure. They are not very
attractive with their wood-green
leaves and gaudy flowers, but If they
viii preserve health and drive of
disease they are worth cultivating.
The seeds are desirable food for hens
and they are fond of them as change
of diet. The plants need very little
care, and grow TO a great size. 1t
will not cost much to plant a few
seeds and try their efficacy. The old
proverb that Gan ounce of prevention
is better than a pound of cure" can
be safely applied TO sunfowers, for it
costs nothing more than little time
AMI care TO make the plants flourish.

The above suggestions touching
the virtues of the sunflower as pre-
ventive of disease in malarial locali-
ties are in accordance with the argu-
mcnts of paper lately read before
the American Institute Farmers
Club, and the discussion of the sub
ject which followed, as reported in
the Weekly World of April and
semi-weekly of April 8. While con-
Quoting Moore's Rural Nev- Yorker
the writer published (ncarly twenty
years ago) an able article from that
noted scientist, the late Commander
Maury, then Superintendent of the
National Observatory at Washing
ton, relating his success in warding
of the aguc from his family residence
on the banks of the Potomac by
planting belt of sunflowcrs between
the house and river. BY this means
the members of his household escaped
the effect of the malaria for the first
time in many years. The advice of
our correspondent may, therefore,
be regarded as trustworthy, and
worthy of adoption in practice by all
housepeepers in malarial situations.

WASHINGTON, May ga scene which
took place in the office of the secretary of the
| treasury to-day, between Secretary Sherman
and James E. Anderson, of the East Felici-
ana election fraud fame, is town-talk here
tonight.
1t seems that Anderson, who but recently
arrived here, was induced by one Major
Marks to call on Sherman, at his office.
When the proposition was first suggested
to Anderson he stoutly declined to 60 but
later in the day, when under the influence of
exhilarating beverages, he consented to call.
Sherman, whether accidentally or other
wise, had his counsel, Shellaharger, present,
and as soon DIS Anderson entered propound-
ed the question:
Have you ever seen me before?" Auder-
son replied, with significant smile, that he
thought he had, and that Sherman ought to
remember when and where.
The latter then proceeded to draw Ander-
son out With questions. Meanwhile, Ander-
son espied a shorthand writer in the room,
taking notes, and then rising in his chair he
declared that he would say no more in any
such place, and under any such dishonorable
arrangement.
He denounced Sherman In strong language,
and swung his cane menacingly over Sher-
mans head.
Marks got him out in the hall, and An
derson was about to assault Marks for put
thing np the job on him, when Ual ties inter-
fered.
Anderson left town early this morning.
much frightened and greatly Disguised.
Marks is from Louisiana, and is here hanging
around in the hope of being collector of in
ternal revenue, in place of Hahn.
1t is said that the investigation committee
will make record of these proceedings, and
demand of Sherman to show why he dared
to tamper with witness before he was placed
on the stand.
Sherman tonight declined to talk on the
subject, and said that he was prepared to
to ruin him.

Maceo, the well-known COMMANDMENTS chief
OF the Cuban patriot forces, arrived here to-
day from Jamaica. He is accompanied by
two members of his staff, Brigadiers Arcade
Leite Vidal and Juan Rios Rivera. The
general has been wounded tweuty-one times
since the beginning of the campaign, and
now carries In his body four bullets. He says
that during the past six years the patriots
have been constantly promised aid from here,
but up to the present time they have received
absolutely nothing. The strength of the
patriot army to-day is not much over one
thousand men, but they are well-armed and
drilled and in fine condition. They have op
posed to them over forty thousand Spanish
troops, who give the patriots not moments

BODY SNATCHING.
The Dead Body OF Hon. J. y. Harrison
Discovered in the Dissecting- Room
of the Ohio Medical College
Arrest or the JanitOr Charged
with the Robbery OF the
Grave.

CINCINNATI, May 30.-Considerable ex-
element was created here to- day by the ac-
cidental discovery of the body of Hon. J. S.
Harrison, who was buried yesterday in the
family vault at North Bend, in the dissect-
ing rooms of the Ohio medical college A
body had been stolen at North Bend within
the past week, and son of Mr.. Harrison.
accompanied by friend, was seeking for it
to-day among the medical colleges of this
city. 1t was not known that Mr.. Harrison
body had been taken until his SON recognized
it in the room of the college. The janltor of
the college was arrested.
1t appears that young man named Dew
ms died at North Bend last week, and yes
terday, while the funeral services at Mr.. Har-
rlson s grave were progressing, John Harri-
son and George Eaton thought that they OBJ
served appearances about Devinss grave
which were somewhat suspicious. After the
funeral they caused an examination
of the grave to be made and found it had
been ROBBED. Preparations were at once
made to prevent a similar dissertation. Mr..
Harrison's grave and coffin was inclosed in a
wall of brick the whole covered with a slab
of single heavy stone set in cement. The
slab was left open to allow the cement to
harden and a Waterman placed In charge.
Last night these men came to Cincinnati
In search Devinss body, procured search
warrant for all the medical colleges, and &c
companied by a detective, they first visited
the rooms of the Ohio medical college. They
found nothing, and were about leaving, when
one of their number noticed that a rope at
tached to windass was down the chute,
and evidently had something attached to it.
Upon drawing it up the naked body of man
was discovered, hanging by the neck, with
a cloth over.the face. AS the hair was gray,
they said it was not Devins's body, and were
about to leave. The detective suggested that
they uncover the face and see who it was.
They immediately recognized Mr.. Harrison,
and John Harrison staid with the body
until 4 coffin was procured and the body
placed therein and removed to the under
takers. The janitor was at once arrested, and
it is reported tonight that several persons at
Cleves, near North Bend, have also been ar
rested, charged with completely in the out
rage. The relatives and friends of the de-
ceased now in this city express determine
ton to prosecute to the full extent OF the law
all guilty of this act of vandalism, OR aces
sorry thereto. The excitement at North Bend
is intense Mr.. Harrison was son of Ex-
President Harrison, and widely known.

LONDON, Eay 30.-The report of the royal
commission on copyrights recommends that
the duration of the copyright be for life and
thirty years thereafter; that foreigners pub
fishing books in the British dominioxs have
the same rights as British subjects, dramatic
and musical compositions to be on the same
footing as books, and the right of dramatic
ing TO be co-extensiEe with the copyright;
that what part Of a newspaper may be copy
righted should be defined by legislation; that
the duration of the copyright for all works of
art, except photographs, should be the same
as above, and for photographs, thirty years
from the date of publication. The report also
recommends the abolition for the future of
the monopoly enjoyed by the Scottish and
English universities in the printing of books
presented to them, but does not recommend
the extinction of that privilege regarding
books already in their possession. The COM
missioners think an arrangement might be
made with the United States in regard to the
printing Of copyrighted books, but they dis
countenance retaliation. They also recon-
mend that the five years during which French
authors may reserve the right of translation
be extended TO ten years. The report is
signed by all the commissioners.
