In the construction of these in
struments our settled policy has
been THoRoUCHNESS and DuRA-
BiLiTY, and as the result, many of
them,. even after SO many years
of constant service, are still to
be found In good condition and
In daily use.

larger field OF operations. We have
Just completed and are now occu-
pying our new and commodious

ton first class,-our organs are

CHEATED THE GALLONS. Richards, the SUIT
ton murderer, cut his throat on Friday morning
and thus cheated the glllows. He had, up to the
time OF his death, stoutly maintained that he did
the killing Internationally and in self defence.
He stayed up until midnight Thursday night,
chatting over his past life and laughingly related
the sins he had committed. After he had cut his
throat he explained that he committed the act
because they did not believe his story and be-
cause OF his resolution not to go to the gaows on
account Of his children. He left letter stating
that he had the means OF taking his own life ever
since he had been in Jail, Richards left an auto
biography that he desired to be published, and it
appears from his own account that his record has
been series Of the most Infamous crimes Of
every kind. He admits that he meditated the
murder OF his companion, and merely followed
him about to accomplish his impulse

NoRTHFIELD.-A child of Professor Charles
Dole was so badly burned, Tuesday evening of

sad affair resulted from little Lena's pulling a
burning lamp from the table and setting her

when discovered by her mother, who caught her
darling in her arms and succeeded finally in put
ting out the flames, but not till her own hands

from the wheels on which 1t had been taken from

with the hook, and persistent rapping with an AK
was needed to loosen It, From gentle blows re-
sort was taken to harder and smarter ones, till,
in giving one Of the latter, the AK flew from the
striker hand and shot directly at the agent, who
stood about ten feet away, and hit him on the
coat collar, but so as not to harm him. Had the
AK struck two inches higher and edgewise, he
must have been killed. 1t starts the chls to
