THE violent death of Mr.. Isaac D.
James yesterday from pistol ball fired
by DenwOod Kinds forms a sad ending
to an affair which has teemed with sad
features. 1t began with the i'll advised
intimacy between Kinds and Miss Liz
zie James, which produced an mcon-
querable love on the part of the girl for
the man who is charged with her seduc-
ton. The love of the girl was answered
by the man with only a contemptuous
scOrn and a positive refusal to do her
the only act of justice that remained, by
uniting himself with her IN legitimate
marriage. The story of the unlawful
intimacy was first brought before public
gaze by the unsuccessful attempt of the
brother of the girl to force the man
whom he believed to be the seducer of
his sister to promise of marriage. At
the business house where Kinds was
employed young James met and chsrged
him with the crime, and tried to avenge
it. His weapon was worthless pistol,
and as Kinds was also armed, the
wounds were only of a mild type, and
James was the greatest sufferer. Then
came the illness of Miss James cOnse-
quent upon her condition and the shock
she had received from the meeting be-
tween her brother and the man believed
to be her seducer. The illness increased
as the days went on, and eliminated in a
few months III Ii ,s,th. in her very
last hours her love for Kinds triumphed
over the thought of wrong received at
his hands, and her last words were call
ings of his name. Then yesterday came
the third act in the tragedy. The father
of Miss James, who could not forget his
fathers ruin, meets Kinds upon the
street and attempts revenge. Kinds is
also armed, and returns the shots with a
truer aim than the father can command
The father is killed, the alleged seduceI
i; only wounded. Thus two have died
in one fami:y-father and daughter-in
consequence of an unlawful intimacy
while tie man upon whom the brunt OF
the intimacy rests is still alive. The af-
fair gives terrible picture, and teaches
a terrible lesson of the possible conse-
quences of unlawful intimacy BALTIC

How TO Plant Peas.

Last spring 1 put in my first peas and
potatoes on the 18th of March, and had
splendid crops of both, but usually we
can not do much in the open soil before
the first week in April. As soon, how
ever, as the frost is out and the ground
is dry enough, shall plant in my driest
and warmest soil some Little Gem and
LaxtOn's Alpha peas. 1 shall open fur
rows three inchess deep for the Gems,
and one foot apart, and in these fur
rows scatter compost about an inch
deep, draw a pointed hoe through the
furrow to mingle the manure with the
soil, and then SOW thickly-three peas
to an inch. l will treat the Laxton's
Alpha in the same way, with the excep-
ton that the rows will be two and half
feet apart. The Little Gems grow only
a foot high, and require no support.
The Alphas require two and half
feet brush. Two weeks later | shall
plant for second crop Little Gem, Nc
Leans Advancer and Champion of
England. 1 have tried great many
kinds, and have come to the conclusion
that the four kinds 1 have named are
the richest favored and sufficiently pro-
ductive-in brief, all things considered,
the best. 1t is pleasant and inexpen-
sive amusement to try fifty other kinds
in small way. Since "Let us have
peas" is such frequent and emphatic
remark at our dinner table, / shall plant
literally every ten days until the fourth
of July, burying the seed deeper as the
season advances, and choosing shadier
and moister localities. Very little plant
ings are usually so injured by mildew
that were the vegetable not such a favo-
rite, would not plant it after the mid
die of May. Deep planting of the seed
late in the season inSures longer bearing.
prefer Champion of England for the
main crop, as it is by general consent
regarded as the flower of the pea fami-
ly. The short, lOw-growing kinds like
Little Gem will be better for any
amount of manure, but tall varieties
like the Champion do not need fertiliz-
ers in the drill unless the ground is poor
When gardens are small and brush is
not convenient, it may be best to plant
the drawf kinds only. They can be
sown on ground designed for tomatoes,
Lima beans, melons, squash, etc., as
they do not shade the ground, and soon
mature. put them in such spaces al
most altogether, and in rows three or
four feet apart, and plant the later vege-
tables between them. As soon as the
green pods are picked, l have the vines
dug under, thus returning at once to the
soil what was taken from it.-E. P. Hoe,
in Harpers Magazine.

house assuredly would have been chosen
for Anne's refuge, when presently, in
1886, Shakespeare was obliged to leave
his wife and children, and go away to
London TO seek his fortune. He did not
buy New Place till 1897, but it is known
that in the mean time he came to his ma
tive country once every year. 1t was in
StratfOrd that his son Hamnet died, in
1896. Anne and her children probably
had never left the town. They show her

that must often have welcomed the poet
when he came home from his labors in
the great city. 1t is very hOmely and
humble place, but the sight of it makes
the heart thrill with a strange and in
communicable awe. You can not wish
to speak when you are standing there.
You are scarcely conscious of the low
rustling of the leaves outside, the far-off
sleepy murmuring of the brook, or the
faint fragrant of wOodbine and maidens
blush that is waited in at the open case
ment, and that swathes in natures in
cense a memory sweeter than itself

Speeches ofLogan and Beck.
Special to Cincinnati Commercial.

Special to Cincinnati Commercial.
WASHINGTON, April 15.-General Lo-
gan made his great speech in the Senate
to-day. Democrats speak of it as an at
tack on the Southern Bridadiers and the
English grammar. He read from manu-
script, and occupied over two hours. 1t
was the stalwart speech of the session,
pitched to about the key of that of Chan
dler some weeks ago. He spoke of Da-
Wis as an arch traitor. He denied that
Mississippi, Louisiana, Florida and
South Carolina were Democratic States,
or that Democratic Representatives were
properly chosen. He charged that the
Democrats owed their majority in the
House and Senate to the use of weapons
of assassination and murder. He quoted
from the election returns of several sue
cessive years, showing that the Republi-
can vote had been gradually crushed out
in the Southern States He painted the
present attitude of the Democrats to-
wards the appropriation bills as revolu-
tionary and REASONABLE. Having failed
to destroy with arms, they now sought
to destroy by Withholding supplies. He
predicted that the North would be
aroused as in 1861, and that but little
would be left of the Democratic party
after the next election. He gave the
Democrats much good advice at the close
of his speech, but he had previously
made them so mad that they will proba-
bly, not accept it. The majority of the
Democratic Senators left their seats one
at time, not being able to stand the
racket About half of the Republican
Senators sat it through, Chandler and
Blaine being constantly present, giving
close attention, and warmly congratu-
lating the orator at the conclusion. The
galleries were packed, and hundreds
were unable to gain admission. The
crowd seemed to be with Logan in senti-
ment, for there were several attempts at
applause, which were suppressed.
Beck followed in one of the best pre-
sentations of the Democratic side yet
made. He read at length from messages
of Republican Governors, condemning
The use or presence of troops at the polls.
Quoting from Governor Geary, of Penn
sylvania, he asked Wallace if he (Geary)
was considered loyal man. Wallace
replied that he was Major General in
the Union army. "Here, then" said
Be k, Il read from the message of Re
publican Governor, who went into the
army and fought, and didn't hire sub
stitute to fight for him." looking square
ly at Blaine as he said it. The hit was
palpable, and Blaine WINGED.

The Marriage of the Midgets.

1t has been finally arranged after many
discussions between their families, that
the midgets are to be married Lucie
Zarate, the prospective bride, is fifteen
years old, and weighs triie less than
five pounds. Her face is bright, but not
prepossessing. The bracelets she wears
cannot be buckled around the third fing-
er of a man of ordinary size. Her shoes
(made to order) are ~ inches long, and
her gloves measure about one inch from
the tip of her longest finger to the but
ton at the wrist. Her cap was made
originally for doll in Broadway show
window, and is good fit. In the matter
of jewelry she is profuse. On each hand
she wears diamond ring, her brooch is
a diamond, and she has a fondness for
dangling ornaments on her ears, such,
for instance, as small diamond supple
mented by California gold quarter of a
dollar
General Mite, whose real name is Fran
els J. Flynn, weighs zine pounds and
is fourteen years old. His face is bright
and intelligent and his conversation
does not belle it.
Are you going to marry Lucie?" the
reporter asked him.
"Yes. we are going to be married"
"When?"
"Next Saturday week"
NO." interrupted the female dwarf,
next Sunday. l want it on Sunday"
1t seems that the marriage is one of
convenience as well as supposed affec-
ton. The dwarfs, belong to different
families, are liable to be separated at any
moment. 1t is thought best, therefore,
to bind them by the ties that cannot be
broken by show managers or disagreeing
parents. General Mite is twice the
weight of his prospective bride.
The preparations for the wedding are
going steadily forward. The bride is to
wear a white satin dress studded with
seed pearls Small as her form Is, it is
estimated that the bridal dress contains
no less than one thousand pearls. The
bridegroom is to wear his full dress suit,
excepting that his vest of black cloth
will be replaced by white vest.
Miss Zarate belongs to the Episcopal
Church, while General Mites family are
Roman Catholics, and it was on the
question of religion the families differed.
This difference was finally settled.
