SHOT FOR RESISTING.
Particulars Of the Shooting of Hurley
at Newport.

Sentinel. s.ss
Friday, Oct. Sd. H. Hurley,
while under the influence of whiskey,
became involved in o row with Abe
Hartsel and his son, John Hartsel,
in front of Oscar o. N eips saloon, in this
place. He knocked both the Hart>
sells down and made others stand
out of the way as he went. It was
not the first timtt hat he had terrified
the unsuspecting. Dan was much
of man" physically, and we'll he
knew it. He made it o point to have
things his own way and asked no odds
of any one who dared to oppose him.
In the midst of the scraping match
with the Hartsells, Town Constable,
Robt. Dennis, heard the disturbance
and hastened to the spot to preserve
the peace. Ho approached Dan and
attempted to place him under arrest. !.
Dan would not surrender, but joined
issue with the constable and they
had q lively tussle. The officer sum-
moned others to nssist; but no one
volunteered and no was severely han
died. He was not o match for Hur-
ley in either strength or skill. II Is
said that there wero citizens standing
around who would gladly have rem
dered aid and quellcd the trouble,
but for the defiant threats of some,
who claimed to be Dams friends,
and, with knives and rocks drawn,
would let no ono interfere, Finally
he jerked loose from tho officer and
drew his knife.
The officer carried his pistol in his
hand, but up to this time, had made,
DO attempt to shoot. AS Dan ap-
preached, the officer snapped at him
and the second timo, the pistol was
discharged. He was only a few feet
from him, and the ball, a no. 38, ems
tered the left side, fractured the
ninth rib, passed in the cavity of the
chest and lodged in the spinal mus
cles. After receiving the wound,
Dan did not fall. but rushed upon
the officer, and, knocking him down,

The Intelligence of American Woman
n. Y. Herald.


N. Y. Herald.
Mgr. Capel is said to have discov-
cred that American women are better
educated than their husbands. 10
some extent this is true; for III every
community there are me9 without
education who have, 10y energy and
thrift, become rich enough to secure
wives from among women far above
them in scholarly attainments. There
are also men. without much property
or money. but With so much OF heart
courtesy and other faanlY virtues,
that their lack Of education has not
prevented them obtaining wives who
are highly educated and refined. As
a rule, however, husbands and wives
are generally on the same social and
intellectual level, and the difference
to which Mgr. Capel alludes is more
apparent than real. The masculine
American is not given to turning his
intellect inside out on short notice
unless be happens to be a candidate
for public office, but the American
woman, bless her innocent heart. is
frequently willing, on the slig htest
possible provocation, to tell all she
knows, particularly to gentleman
with inclination and leisure for gen>
eral conversation. Let Mgr. Capei
study the American man little more
carefully before he forms positive
conclusions.

Hints for the SIck-ROOm.

American Agriculturjst for September.
Sickness is too apt to be synonymous
with sadness, and it is all important that
the person in charge of patient should
wear bright, hopeful countenanee.
The weak look to the strong for support,
and are quick to mark the slightest to-
kens of uneasiness or apprehension on
the part of those about their bedsides,
although they may give no outward ex-
preston of their sense of it at the time.
A nurse who combines apparent conf
dence as to a happy result, with the
tender attentions necessary to secure it,
does but discharge the proper functions
of her calling, save in extreme cases, of
which we are not treating here.
Let the nurse be quiet. Let her dress
be of no stiff or rustling material; her
shoes of kind that shall in no wise
creak or cry. The meditation of the
voice, too, should be carefully attended
to. We cannot, and should not, forGear
attendance upon the sick, because ma
ture has gifted US with that rare, blessed
boon, of a sweet and musical voice; yet,
even more earnestly than the elocution-
list, should the nurse study to modulate
such organs as she does possess, to the
Va HA1iCd oIO
capable. For nothing is of greater i'm
portance, we would assure her, if she
desires to soothe irritated nerves, and
quiet pertuIbed spirits, than to use an
habitually soft and calm speech in all
her conversation, either with the sick or
in their presence.
1t is primarily important that an att
tendant should give quick heed to the
physicians orders, aud obey them ex-
actly. The hardheaded and opinionated
nurse is one who incurs heavy respon-
sibilitT, and in nine cases out of ten
brings to grief her patient as we'll as her.
self.
Take care that no disagreeable topic
of conversation be continued, if per-
chance introduced. Get more impera-
tive; guard against talking at all when the
patient indicates by his own silence O.
desire for quiet. If the vote of all the
sick were taken as to that fault in their
nurses, from which they suffer most, we
should not be surprised if, with one
voice, thew would say, garrulity. It is
conceded that truth lies at the founda-
ton of all popular beliefs; and if so,
then nurses, as class, are prone to talk
too much. Let so base vice as gossip
no longer degrade one of the noblest and
benefcent of human calings-the care
of the sick.
