foot Of Georgia avenue to-day, says an At

the Philadelphia Press, was lanky man,
noticeable for his unusual height and

folds around his spare and bOny form a s

was accompanied by a remarkably
age, whose bright blonde tresses
hung loosely over her shapely shout

with such a show Of trepidatiOn that the
spectators laughed at her timidiSE and
concluded that she was a rural De,,S who
was taking dip in the ocean for "a first
time in her life. The man was, at least,
Is years her senior, but he kicked his long
shanks about with the hilarious Joy Of a
boy. and sought every opportunity to clasp
the hands and waist Of hls companion.
While they were splashing in the water
they were approached BY very fat wo-
man. with her waist under her arms, who,
without a word Of warning. brought a
heavy hand down full on the back Of the
pretty bather. and followed up her attack
with another and others shat struck the
scream with fright and establishment. In
a moment. however. the blonde recovered
her senses and a pitched battle ensued.
and there was a halo Of flying arms and
disheYeled hair for fully five minutes. The
man was too dumbfo8nded to be Of much
assistance. and the little effort that he did
make 70 disengage the fighters was re-
warded BY a slap in the face from the cor

Maggie Brooks stultz. says a Louisville
special Of July q to the New York World,
had obtained a divorce from her husband,
Joseph Il. Stultz, professional gambler,
and was living at the house Of her mother
with her only child. After the divorce
had been obtained the husband made ef-
forts to bring about a reconciliation. She
seemed inclined TO yield 70 his entreaties,
but her mother strongly opposed a reunion.
Secret meetings were held. however. be-
tween the divorced husband and wife, and
she finally consented to marry him again.
II was decided that she should elOpe with
him and take with her their child. At l.
O'Clock last night StultZ was driven in
carriage TO within a few doors Of his
mOther-in-Iaw's house. The wife was in
waiting. with her child in her arms, and
as soon as she heard the sound Of the car

ment. StultZ, on receiving the revolver,
handed il TO the driver OF the carriage,

breast and instantly killed him. Stultz
mounted the box while his wife and child

A striking feature q the Prohibition
Convention At Pittsburg Is the disposition
Of the entire assemblage to lift up its
voice in song every once in q while. The
songs don't appear to be on the
programme, and Jet they play
very conspicuous part IN the
proceedings. There are AZ dele
gates. and the effect must be very
fue If there is a proper regard for time
and tune. The purpose OF the singing Is
not clear. Itmay have an exhilarating Ell

is a well known fact that among the Pro-

il Is difficult matter 70 stop them. When

much plessanier TO get lid q him by

very good thing. The convention, how
