DUKES DENIED SHELTER.

Leave in Body-He Cannot be
sworn In.
HARRISBURG. March 20.-Dukes was ex-
pected by some of his friends on the 1880
train last night from the west, but did not
appear. The clerk OF the United States
Hotel, where he has been accustomed to
stop, said that if he should present himself
he would be refused lodging and ordered
to leave the house. Business policy
demands :such treatment of the
case. for the other guests of the States
House made up their minds to leave in a
body il the murderer is allowed TO remain
under the same roof. Mr.. Niles, of Tioga,
who has made careful search among the
records, says that he can find no precedent
for this case in the history Of the State or
OF the United States. He says there is no
immediate danger OF DHkes taking the oath
OF Office because the constitution requires
that he should be sworn in by Supreme
Court Judge or Judge OF Common Pleas
learned in the law, and none can be found
to perform the office for him

WESTON, W. Va, March COL desire,
briefly, TO correct some statements masie
by your special correspondent At this place
as to the melancholy suicide Of Charles Il,
Arnold, which occurred at Jacksonville, IN
this county. last Tuesday, The facts are
that poor Charlie had had no quarrel, diffi-
Guilty or Misunderstanding whatever with
his father; he had not been drinking TO
excess; nor w1s there any young lady"
trouble. Poor boy; he had bcsn suffering
with asthma 30 long that he knew the dis.
ease would never leave him; he knew he
was an invalid for life, and rather than
suffer on for years TO come, he ended his
own life. No Cause can be assigned, except
this. He had q good. happy home, had
lands Of'his own. and was just about 70
start in the mercantile business. II was
the saddest and most inexplicable- suicide
that ever occurred in our county.

A Diamond Story.

Colored diamonds are supposed to
be manufactured nowadays for the
unwary, but | heard of a new dodge
last week. A photographer who has
had considerable experience H. expert
detective cases said to me: We have
a new use for photgraphy-the test
ing of precious stones. The business
began this way: One day last year a
diamond expert with quite a reputa
ton in the business was asked by q
stranger to buy a remarkable fine
diamond. Eight thousand dollars
was asked for it. The expert tested it
in every manner known to the bust
ness and examined il carefully with a
glass. 1t was a magnificent stone, of
superb color and shape. He offered
81 600, and the man took the money
and went away. A day or two after
that the stone was shown as a great
bargain tosome other experts, one Of
whom, after examining it closely for
a long time, declared that there was
something very peculiar about the
way in which the light went through
tlb DbOliCs 1 AAC OWiIIl W % ttNA y loIA w
take it to me and have it tested by a
ray of sunlight sent through a camera.
1t was brought to my studio with
several other diamonds, and whereas
one diamond would allow a beam of
light to pass clear and straight the
seven-thousand-dollar stone seemed
to have something in it which stopped
the beam. A powerful microscope
was then brought into play, and the
fine diamond was found to be two
stones joined together with marvel
lous dexerity by the aid of what is
known as Canada balsam, the ma
terial used by all opticians in joining
two lenses. EacD stone was worth
about S1,250, and the loss on the
transaction was 1900. The stone
camo apart upon the application of
certain chemicals.

The Fenlan Scare at Halifax.

HALIFAX, Oct. 19.-Since the arrest
of Holmes and Bracket, suspected of
connection with an Internal dynamite
conspiracy, the six British war ships
in this port are more carefully guard
ed from any secret operations that
might be directed to them. At night
particularly extra precautions are
taken by boats with strong forces of
men being placed around about
ships Wee Admiral Commerell to-
day, made an inspection of the sus-
pieious articles found ON the prison
ers, and stated that they were exactly
suited for intentions such as the
men are suspected of. Tomorrow he
will order the chief gun instructor
ON the flag ship Northampton to fully
explain to the offers of the law, the
serious results that could be caused by
the proper use of conHscated explo-
siyes and apparatus.

Dangers from Impure Water.

Too much reliance is placed on the
senses of taste, sight and smell in de-
terminin. the character of drinking
water 1t is a fact which has been re
peatedly illustrated that water may be
odorless, tasteless, and colorless, and
yet be full of danger to those who use
it. The recent outbreak of typhoid
fever in Newburg, N. Y, is an exam
pie, having been caused by water
which was clear and without taste or
smell 1t is also a fact that even a
chemical analysis sometimes will fail
to show a dangerous contamination
of the water, and will always fail to
detect the specific poison if the water
is infected with discharges of an in
fictitious nature. 1t is therefore urged
mat the source of the water supply
should be kept free from all possible
means of contamination by sewerage.
1t is only in the knowledge of perfect
cleanliness that safety is guaranteed.
The local European volunteer health
/ commission in Alexandria, where the
cholera has been raging along back,
IS unearthlng, according to the ,SdRj-
tdfY Ne1CS, some very unsanitary con
ditions in that city. They have found
a large native cemetery, underneath
which runs a canal with which com
municates well, the water of which
is used to wash dead bodies. A drink
ing fountain adjoins this well, and
the canal is the water supply of a
crowded portion of the town. In the
mosques are stagnant pools of water
used for additions prescribed by relig-
lous belief, the water in which, being
unchanged, gets indescribably foul.
Such nuisances are difficult to abate
because of religious preiudices. Is it
any wonder, adds the Nelcs, that pes
uIentlaI disease attacks such a local

Big.Hearted David Davis.


David Davis was not the meanest
man IN Washington while he lived
here. He did not live at a third-rate
hotel, nor did he haggle with the pie
women of the capitol. These state
ments, like many more of the sama
sort, originated with some of that
very numerous class of men who know
all about Washington without having
been mere They are not trammeled
by facts. David Davis is a very care
full man. His prudence has given hm
his fortune He did not live at the
most fashionable hotel in Washing
ton, although he had pleasant rooms
at one of the best, and he did cat APP
pie pie for lunch sometimes at stand
in one of the senate corridors. But
his big body carries a big heart as well
as q big BRAIN, and / know of dozens
of cases where, after proper investiga-
tons, he put his big hand into his big
pocket book aud drew out big mon
ey, as they say in Kentucky, for the
good of his unfortunate neighbors
So careful was Judge Davis that no
word of any of these helpful acts
shouldc creep into the newspapers that
only one case was ever alluded to, it
was that of a ragged little newsboy
whom the judge picked up on the
steps of the capitol, hungry and cold,
one clustering winter day. Judge
Davis bought his wet and dirty news
papers, filed his empty stomach,
clothed his naked form, put something
in his pocket for the next day, and
stopped his thanks with his big hand.
Judge Davis is as hard as hint-rock in
the presence of fraud and humbug,
and soft as wool to the unfortunate
and distressed.

young creole. The latter. after sur

his wife baked bread in eight and a
quarter minutes after the wheat was
standing in the field. At six minutes
and ten seconds after 4 o'clock the
Buckeye reaper stood at the corner of
the growing wheat. Men were sta
toned every few feet along the line of
the grain ready TO seize an armful as
it fell from tie reaper, and to rush
with it TO the thresher close by The
mill was just sixteen rods distant. At
the drop Of the hat the mules sprang
to work, and in a minute and half
about a peck of threshed wheat was
on a horse that began a race for the
mill one minute and seventeen sec
onds later the flour was delivered to
Mrs Lawton, and in three minutes
