The Baptist church at East Sumner has
been furnished with new chapel organ or
the Estay make from the agency Of W. J.
Wheeler, South Paris. 1t appears to be
an instrument OF good tone aud OF sufficient
volume for the church. and Is just what
has long been needed. 1t was secured by
the efforts and liberality OF Brothers Chas.
and Isaac Bouney who are ready to do
more than their part toward its purchase
by the society. Rev. A. ii. Gould Is still
temporarily supplying the pnlplt.
Rev. Gilman Rice, Of the Congregational
society Is still holding Sabbath evening
meetings at the Hall with good results.
The meetings are largely attended and an
excellent interest Is steadily maintained.
Brother Rice has the rare and happy facul-
ty of being earnest, persuasive and direct
in his appeals aud conversation, and yet
gives no offence, but rather creates general
admiration OF his zeal and earnestness, and
hosts of warm friends. Brother Gould
has been OF valuable assistance In harmony
and love.

Ingersoll I'm a Hot Spot.

When Colonel Robert G. Ingersoll was in
Virginia City, Nevada, recently, a number
of reporters invited him to join a party
v ich was to explore the lower levels OF
Ophir mine. Ingersoll innocently agreed
to go along, not suspecting that the wags
proposed TO show him the ~salutary effect of
intense heat. The wonders of the Comstock

found himself alone with a guide whose
ability to withstand heat had given him
local notoriety. While the two were thus
standing a miner rushed out of a drift to the
right. Where are you going?' asked In
gersol. ''To hi, to cool off," was the reply.
Lets get put of here by another drift" said
the lecturer to the guide, and the latter
smiled pleasantly, for Ingersoll had fallen
into the trap set for him. They went into
the drift on the left, which was abandoned,

One Woman Kills Another.
A Danville (va.) special Of June 10 says:


In the immediate vicinity of the DRY Bridge
on the Richmond and Danville Railroad, about
four miles from this city by rail, there is a settle
ment, the reputation OF whose Inhabitants is by
no means savory. Among these is Mrs. Harris, a
white woman. She has o daughter named
appears 70 be about thirteen. Neer by the house
OF Mrs. Harris live q lot of negroes, and among
them one woman named Ruth Gwynne, the
mother of two small children. Between this
girl, Mamie Harris. aud the woman Ruth
Gwynne, there occurred a fracas yesterday morn
ing which resulted in the death OF the latter al
the hands of the former. The white girl cut the
woman's throat with a pocket-knife, seyering the
jugular vein and producing death in about ten
minutes. When arraigned the girl wore an
air of the greatest intrepidity and was per
fectly calm and self possessed. During the
tremor of muscle or the auivering of a nerve. She
is more than ordinary good looking, has what are
called gray magnetic eyes, regular features
fine forehead, handsome mouth and hair between
chestnut and auburn in color. From the evi,
dence IL appears that the difficulty originated
several days since, and on that occasion resulted
I'm an assault upon the accused by the deceased.
They were separated, but the deceased declaIed
then that she would kill the accused. On Thurs
day Ms. Harris and her daughter were going up
the railroad TO the woods TO gather fuel, and
when a short distance this side of the dry bridge
they met the deceased, accompanied by Bette
Thorpe, her sister, and Jane Mitchell. Charles

at the former which struck her on the back of the
head. The colored woman than ran and over
took the white girl, whothereupon turned upon
her and commenced using a knife. Both the
cOlOred woman and the white girl started for
home. but the deceased had walked only about
two hundred yards in that direction when she

that the deceased cane to her death by a knife
wound inflicted by she prisoner, and subsequently
she was committed 10 the County Jail.

Her Head Was Level.

1t was announced in the leading journals
of Paris a few months ago that the only
daughter and heiress of a Lowell Mass.
millionaire was soon to marry one of the
Bourbons, a cousin of Don Carlos, of Spain.
But the marriage never occurred. because
the Yankee girl wouldn't invest. The Prince
called every day last winter at the hotel
where the young woman resided. In the
words of the Paris correspondent of the San
Francisco Chronicle: Fancy the noble
scion of the very illustrious and thrice
Duissant House of BOurbons going on his
knees to 50, 000, 900 worth of ~sarsaparilla!
But | may have Oyerdrawn the picture. 1t
is not certain that the noble Prince actually
went upon his marrow bones in proprIa
persona. He did hat by proxy. Though he
paid court ~assiduously and daily in person,
the Prince sent a formal demand, or, TO
speak exactly, several demands by his
chamberlain. For, though a Prince may
have no cash, as long as he can borrow
money he keeps up a petty court, and of
course must have his chamberlain. On one
occasion, when his deputy came to ask the
hand of Miss - in marriage, or rather to
inform that young lady that his Highness
the Prince A de Bourbon proposed TO
confer upon her, a plain. untitled Ameri-
can, the honor of his name and
high sounding title, Miss - quite peremp-
torily refused the honor. Whereupon the
chamberlain exclaimed: do you say you
refuse him! His Highness the Prince is not
a parsonage who can be refused. Oh, no!
IT'S impossible. Put it in some other form,
L beg of you. Say you are unable to accept
of the honor offered you. Anything but a
REFUSAL The Prime is not an ordinary man
to be rejected in this mannerl' Notwith-
standing the fervid eloquence OF the cham
berlain, the mo- of the Yankee girl was posi-
tive. Tell your MASTER she said to the
deputy, that 1 don't rant titles half as bad
ly as he wants cash."

A French electrician has devised an in
genious electrical low-water signal for steam
boilers, which indicates the existing water
level at any distance from the generator.
and when the water has sunk below a GER
tain point rings a signal bell, while at the
same time the sign low water appears on
the indicating tablet.
The manufacture of thread from wood;
for sewing and crochet purposes, is found so
far practicable that an establishment for the
industry has been started near the town of
Norkoping. in the middle of Sweden. The
system pursued is to wind the thread in balls
by machinery, either by hand or steam,
which, with the labelling. takes one minute
twelve seconds per ball.
Cast-iron is used, even in wrought-iron
boilers for CRATE bars, ash pans, furnace
doors, uptake DOORS man-noie plates, hand
hole plates, valve chambers, steam pipe,
feed pipe, blow pipe and dry pipe. Being
ynyielding, il is not well adapted for APP
Iparatus liable to sudden changes from ex-
| pansion by changes of temperature. 1t can
! not be patched or mended as ~wrought-iron
can. This ability TO be mended Is on of the
| chief advantages OF ~wrought-iron for boiler
work.

ash. For dark ash and chestnut, use a little
raw sienna; for walnut, burnt amber and a
slight amount of Venetian red; for bay
wood, burnt sienna. In no case use more
color than is required to overcome the white
appearance of the starch. unless you wish 10
stain the wood. This filler is worked with
brush and rags in the usual manner.
During the last season the Kansas State
Agricultural College kept an exact account
of the cost of raising corn, winter wheat,
oats and millet, and gives the following as
the result: Corn, 22% acres produced AZ
bushels per acre, at a cost of IA cents per
bushel; wheat, IL acres produced Is bushels
per acre, costing about "a cents per bushel.
According to this statement it costs more 10
cultivate an acre of wheat than an acre OF
corn; AZ bushels of corn at IA cents per
bushel aggregates S65S, which represents
the cost of cultivating an acre of corn,
while IL bushels of wheat, at a cost of 81
cents per bushel, amounts to 50. Is. the total
cost of cultivating an acre of wheat. Oats,
10 acres, yielding 20 bushels per acre, costs
% cents per bushel, or a cost of SLIGO per
acre. 1t would appear from this that il
costs just about double to cultivate an acre
of wheat that it does for an acre of oats.

night apparently settles the question as to
the genuineDess of Morgan's bones. Upon
more thorough inquiries, to-day, DR.. ]. r.
Coates, who inspected the remains. said
that, while they belonged TO a human being,
they are too small for a full-grown man.
Mr. Mix being closely questioned. reiterated
the statement that, in his belief, the re-
mains belonged to Morgan, but subsequent
ly admitted that neither the ring nor the
manuscript was found. This admission of
Surveyor Mix, relative to the articles which
formed the basis of belief that the bones
were the anti-Mason's, leads 10 the coDelu-
aginative brain.

An Indignant Boarder.

Gus De Smith is rather slovenly in his
habits, and does not always wipe off his chin
after meals A few days ago he remarked
incidentally to his landlady that he intended
to shave off his mustache.

claimed.
"Don't you think it would improve my
appearance?,Y asked Gus.

why not?"
Because / want everybody to keep on
knowing what / give my boarders for break

Somebody has since shown Gus the point,
and he is looking for another boarding
house.
