Mrs. jones' Mistake.

"Maria," said Mr.. Jones, when his
wife told him she was going out riding
that afternoon Tits going to be hot,
and I'll send up fan and japanese
parasol. You put the fan in the mar
tingale and spread it open, and fasten
the parasol in loop behind the ear. u
"Won't that be fly" said Mrs. Jones,
''where did you see them?"
eat the sea-shore,'' snorted Jones,
"they are the toniest things out.''
After dinner the package came. Mrs.
Jones opened it and found gay paper
fan and q paper parasol.
Bridget" asked Mrs. Jones, "what
is martingle?''
"Shure it's girth of some sort" an
swered Bridget, shortly.
"Oh, belt. Why of course it is. /
am to spread the fan in my belt and
put the parasol up and fasten it to my
head. Jeptha said SO, the sweet
thing"
So Mrs. Jones drove old Tom in the
phaeton up one avenue and down
another, and was the observed of all
observers. She had fastened the handle
of the parasol into her bonnet strings,
and as it was not very large it did not
obstruct the view, and people stared as
much they did at Jumbo. She felt that
she was setting the style and was more
than happy. But when she got home
Jones was awaiting her, the maddest
man in town.
"You ought to be pasted on tea
chest or used as a wall decoration, :"
he shrieked. "Don't you know the
difference between horse and a
donkey?"
Il ought to-" said Mrs. Jones,
meekly.

There you've gone out on the avenue
with a horse umbrella and fan. Why
didn't you wear. the rest of the harness?
l tell you what it is, Maria, if you go on
this way you'll get your name in the
papers; see if you don't"
But the next day all of Mrs. jones'
lady friends called to ask her where she
got that perfectly lovely idea of the fan
and parasol, and if the articles could be
purchased in the city.-Detroit Post and

Two Cowardly Georgia Murderers Stran-
gled and Shot by an Avenging Mob.
ATLANTA, Ca, Aug. 13.
On Tuesday morning last Joe Fulford,
Miller County farmer, with the aid of Har-
ry Bradley, negro, brutality murdered his
wife, who at the time was unable to turn
herself in bed. The negro beat her over the
head with a club, until she
became insensible. Then her husband
chOked out the remaining spark of
life. Fulford hired his accomplice and
another negro named Reuben Robertson to
haul the body to Spring Creek, one mile and
a half distant, and sink it in the deepest
point. Fulford reported her absence, and
sought to create the impression that she had
committed suicide by drowning. The neigh
bors searched the country all Tuesday
evening and night, and on Wednesday the
remains were found. Marks were
found upon the body. The uxori-
eide was arrested but denied his gnilt,
and remarked that he would not have had
his wife murdered for five dollars. ThetWo
negroes were then arrested on suspicion.
They made a full confession. giving the
facts as stated. A coroner's jury rendered
verdict charging the three men with the
crime. A preliminary trial was held at
Colquit Friday, and they were held for muir
der. There was talk of burning the trio at
stake in the courthouse yard, but wiser
counsels prevailed until the friendly shades of
night we're spread over the earth. Between the
hours of ten and twelve Fulford and Harry
Bradley were taken from the Jail and
hanged to tree near the jail and perforated
with bullets. Their bodies were found
Saturday morning. Fulford's father is a
man Of considerable means, and is respected
by his neighbors. The general sentimento of
the country will approve the act Of Judge
Lynch, since within two years two innocent
women have been murdered in the same
vicinity, and in former cases two of tho
guilty parties escaped punishment by
breaking jail and fleeing the country.

booty, killed the horses, thus allowing them
more leisure for overcoming the guard and

FOlger Pleased with the Business Out
look,
WoRTHTNGToN. Mimi. Aug. 13.

WoRTHINGTON, Mimi, Aug. Is.
Secretary of the Treasury Folger is here
taking brief vacation from his official du-
ties and looking af4r farm of about sec
ton, which he owns. He is very social and
chats informally on politics and other topics
of the day. Regarding the business situation,
Mr.. Folger thinks the country is in a con-
sentative mood and moving safely along in a
course of prosperity. He spoke especially
of the Northwestern enjoying wonderful
degree of thrift, occasioned by the rapid de-
velopments of its fertile acres and the in
fux of well-to-do settlers, and considers the
commercial and financial condition Of the
country, as whole, to be satisfactory, in
spite of the prevalent dizziness in Wall
street, and the fairy of failures among the
shoe and leather people of New England.
These latter symptoms he regards as strict
lv local
