he was subject to attacks of vertigo and suf-

BY an Assassin'5 BuiIet-MDre Noe
turnaI Crime.
Yesterday morning a little before
4 o'clock colored servant girl named
kJane Coleman employed in the family
of Prof. Tdllichet,of the State Univer,
sity, in North Austin. was fired on,
fand wounded by seine unknown mis-
creant. the woman was lying near
the window, which was slightly raised,
land the fiend was able to pat the muZ'
zle of his weapon within a few feet of
the sleeping victim. The ball was a
largc one-forty-two calIbre-and en-
btering her left arm between the
wrist and elbow passed into the
bbreast, intiicting very painful, but
! not fatal wound. DIR. Wooten was
called in and extr acted the ballet, and
Fat last account, the girl was
resting easily. She is unmarried, and
I is about % years old.
Her screams when shot aroused the
master Of the house, who. seizing a
|, pistol advanced toward her apartment.
AS he opened the coor, bullet whiz-
kEed past his head, ann buried itself in
'the wall not four feet distant. The
. fellow then fled. 1t is not known
whether he was white or black man;
Officer Tom Bales was telephoned
for and hurried to the scene, but ar
rived too late TO effect a capture.
A RUNNING DUEL.
AT about the same hour another
ruf1ian visited the residence of M j
Joe Ii. Steward, ON Whitdis Avenue
and threw large rock with trcm n
dous force against the apartment |
occupied by colortd girl. |
Thewindow was completely shattered, |
A negro man who Has also in the |
room, ran out and getting a pistol |
from Major Stewart, took after the |
fellow that threw the rock. The lat
ter turned on his pursuer, after running |
a few feet up an alley, and fired. The |
other fired back and a number of shots
were exchanged, but none took effect.
No capture.
A SLEEE THIEF
entered the rooifi of q girl employed
by Mrs. Finnin, On West Pine street,
the same night, and, without awaken
ing the occupant, took nearly every
thing she; possessed In the way of
clothing, jewelry and sltiall sum of
money. Why he did not shoot or
slash her with knife is
mystery. 1t is the first time the room
of servant woman has been entered
in Austin, for the last four months,
that there was no attempt at personal
violence.
The above statements 60 to show
that the era of outrage has by no
means ceased in Atistin: It may be
expected to continue Indefinitely.
Why not? The authors of the devil
try go scot free. AS long as they
escape detection and arrest so long
will they Keep Up their systematic
course Of pillage.

Malcolm Hay, First Assistant Post.

Malcolm Hay, First Assistant Post
master General, complains that he
cannot get along with his work as he
ought because of the inefficiency of
his Chief Clerk, Mr.. Mari, of Mary
land, who has been in the department
for nearly half century. He is, of
course, subject to removal the same as
any other official. but his long service
would perhaps raise protest in spite
of his known inefficiency because of
advanced age. If Congress had con-
sented a year or two ago to pass the
bill providing for the retirement of
men who have been in the civil service
for fifty years the difficulty would
have been easy to overcome. The
precedent could not have been very
dangerous one, as responsible officials
may be depended on to see to it
that few men are kept in place fol
| fifty years.

How Butter Lo ,ks Under a Microscope


DR.. Taylor, the microscopic of the
Department of Agriculture, read a
paper before the Microscopical So
ciety descriptive of his recent discov-
cries in examining butter and its va
riou5 limitations. He finds that crys-
tails of pure butter, when fresh, have
globular or ellipsoidal form and
that with certain adjustment of
the polarizer each globe or ellipse
discloses a well defined st. An
drew's cross, which revolves as
the polariZer is turned. The crystals
of butterine, oleomargarine and of
beef or SWINE fats are of stellar form.
They do not revolve with the polar
iher NOT do they show the st. An
drew's cross. The crystals of butter
which is not fresh OF is Of inferior
quality present roseate form, gener-
ally four lobbed, and revolve with the
turning of the polarizer. 1t was found
necessary a5 q preliminary to the ex-
periments that all th5 sat1Eles be
boiled for the purpose of crystallizing
their fatty acids. DR.. Taylor is pre-
pairing pamphlet embodying the re-
suits of his experiments, which he
believes will furnish the certain
means of detecting the difference be-
tween butter and any imitation or
adulterated compound:

Up to date the most popular feature
of the Revised Old Testament appears
to be the substitution of sheol, 1.-THE
pla. of departed spirits, for hell, the
place of endless torment. This graft
tying change will, it is thought, give
the new version boom in quarters
where the old one was always viewed
with disfavor. Thus do liberal con-
cessions to the progressive spirit of
the age bring about their commercial
rewards.
