Patti Rosa,



After the performance on Wednes-
day night, an elegant reception was
rendered Patti Rosa and her excellent
company. The charming young ac-
tress was completely taken by sur
prise, but was equal to do honor to
the complimentary ovation. The af-
fair was gotten up by Mr.. Chas
Burbanks, of Henderson, Ky, and
a couple of his associates. The tai
bles were supplied with every va
riety of substantial food, supplement-
ed by such a feast of the choicest
delicacies as would have tickled the
palate of an epicure. The delicious
viands and sparkling champagne
were done ample justice by all pres
ent. The theatrical ladies were all at
tired in toilets noted for their rich
ness and elegance. Several beautiful
songs were rendered during the even
ing after which the reception closed,
having been enjoyed to the fullest
extent.

Twins That Look and Think Alike

Watkinsville boasts as many pref
ty girls as any town in Georgia to its
population, and none are more popu-
lar than the twin sisters, Misses Sallie
and Mollie Woods. These young la
dies resemble each other so nearly
that even their intimate friends are
often at a loss TO tell "t'other from
which," and they have a good deal
of fun at the expense of young men
who mistake which sister they are
speaking to. They are devotedly at
tached TO each other, and have never
had cross word. In fact, not only
their tastes and wishes, but even
thoughts, flow in the same channel,
II is a singular fact, but nevertheless
true, that when ones mind dwells
upon subject the others thoughts
are exactly the same. This has been
tested time and again by friends call
ling one at time aside and asking
her thoughts, and they are found &c
be identical. 40 g

Franklin. KY, Nov. I-E- i.
Wade, formerly Deputy Circuit Court
Clerk of this county, eloped with
Miss Eddie Reed, of this city Tuesday
night. The young lady returned to
this city alone last night, and gives
the following account, in substance
of the affair: She. says that Wade
persuaded her to elope with him I'M
der promise that he would marry
her, and with this view she went
with him to Mitchellville, Tenn.
When they got there he told her that
they would have to go on to Nash
willie, and as they could not get train
that night, they remained over till
next morning at the house of Mr..
Angel, pretending to be man and
wife. When morning came they
boarded the train for Nashville,
where she says, he deserted her, re-
fusing to marry her and leaving her
in the city penniless. She related
the story of her wrong to Conductor
Thompson, who runs the accommo-
dation from Bowling Green to Nash
vile, and he brought her back to
Franklin last night, where her par
ents, who are poor but respectable
people, reside. Her father has gone
to Nashville in pursuit of her, but has
not yet returned. Wade has also re-
turned to this city. a4l

In Kansas City a murdered girls
eyes have been photographed with
the hope of getting picture of the
murderer. There will be some who
will laugh at this, and yet the crimi-
nal annals of Paris contain we'll
authenticated case of the detection of
murder by this means. An old
chemist named Lefarge had young
and pretty wife. He also had a
young and good-looking apprentice.
One morning the old husband went
into his wife's room and found her
lying upon the bed dead, her eyes
staring, tongue protruding, and the
neck bearing marks of strangulation.
He ran to the room of a photogra-
pher who boarded in the family, and
told him of his frightful discovery.
The latter at once proposed, before
intelligence of the murder was i'm
parted to the police, to photograph
The dead woman's eyes. The hus-
band assented, and the artist at once
brought his instruments and per-
formed the work. Then the appren-
tice was sent to police headquarters
to give information of the murder.
The police took charge of the case,
but could discover no clew to the
perpetrator. For several days the
murder was the mystery of the day,
the talk of the neighborhood and the
theme of the newspapers. In the
meantime the photographer finished
his picture, and by means of strong
magnifying glass, dimly, but unmis-
takably, the shadowy features of the
apprentice were discovered in the
staring eyes of the dead woman.
The young man was arrested, con-
fesscd his crime, and was executed
