Too Shaky to Swegr Off.
PHILADELPHIA Times

James Ludlam was this morning
charged, on the complaint of his wife
Margaret, with being a habitual drunk
ard. His wife corrected the charge,
and said that while he was a good
father and husband he was in the
habit Of taking sprees about once a
year, on one of which he entered two
weeks ago, and has been unable to
stop
"What are you going to do?" asked
Magistrate Smith,
ST will stop forever" answered
Ludlam.
Come out here, then and swear
off,"
Ludlam stepped out of the dock.
''You have the shakes pretty badly,
said the Magistrate. You are not in
a condition to swear off. You are to
far gone in the shakes. Take him to
the doctor Mrs Ludlam, and get him
something, he can't swear off in that
condition"
LudIan and his wife left court to-
gether.

The Future OF Africa.
New York Times.

Rev. Moses A. Hopkins, the color
ed clergyman of North Carolina who
has been appointed Minister to Liber-
la, will sail for Africa the latter part
of this month, and expects to arrive
at Monrovia, the capital of Liberia,
about six weeks afterward. He is ROW
passing a few days with friends in
this city. II am of the belief that
Africa's redemption will depend
largely upon the efforts of the negro. !"
he said yesterday. "Africa has wond>
erful natural resources. They are
greater, perhaps. than those of any
other country-and, if we may be-
lieve history, the people of Africa
were once the leaders of civilization.
This is the age of progression, in
which every country is awakening to
active life England, France and
Germany are acquiring possessions
wherever they can in Africa. [ don't
think that America will ever care to
go SO far for new territory, but our
merchants are seeking everywhere for
new fields of trade. The whole of the
republic of Liberia is anxious for Am~
erican commerce, and it only need as
little effort on the part of capitalists
to open up the st. Paul River for
navigation, and then the merchants
of America would have the country
of the Soudan open to them. There
are more than hundred million peo-
pie in Western Africa who are anx-
ious to trade with Americans, and I
expect to see the day when the port of
Monrovia will be full of our ships. I
am proud of my appointment as min>
lister, because it gives me opportunity
% devote some OF the best years of nay
life to the cause OF African progress. !"

More Tobacco Less Cotton,
Hartford Tim es.

South Carolina cotton planters are.
to some extent, abandoning, cotton as

with some enthusiasm upon the ex~
pertinent of cultivating tobacco. They
say "North Carolina and Virginia
have grown rich" on tobacco, and
now it is South Cardinals turn. The
line golden colored leaf of North
Carolina and Virginis, such as was
once used, after the war, to make the
noted Lone jack smoking tobacco.
is the kind the South Carolinians pro-
pose to cultivate in the middle and
up country" districts, a kind which
has found favor, under the general
name of Virginia tobacco" among
the smokers in highlands upper class
es. For the low country" region
the Cuban seed leaf is thought TO be
the best; and the Charleston News
and Courier announced that that es-
tablichment is prepared to distribute
packages of the seed, with printed
directions for the cultivation.

the keeping of domestic animals
Nowhere. he says, in his home travels,
from Lake Superior to the Calf of
Mexico, has he seen more luxuriant
vegetation than in southeastern Alas
ka. The harder vegetables all grow
to maturity and to enormous size, and
the cattle ara sleek and in the best
possible condition, The gold mines on
Douglass island, opposite Juneau, are
in full operation. The deposit is reps
resented to be truly phenomenal, and
the governor says the mine promises
to fgura more largely in the mining
history of the world than any other on
record. The curing and canning of
cod and salmon have assumed large
proportions, but the business has not
yet been largely remunerative by
reason Of the sharp competition of the
Columbia river fisheries.
The Indian police system is highly
commended. Attention is also direct
ed to the needs of the territory in the
matter of mail facilities. The law
prohibiting the liquor traffic is said to
have been disregarded. Defects in
the laws governing the territorial Or
ganization are discussed at length.

To Prevent Stamps From Sticking

From the New York Cosmopolitan.
While imparting a bit of informa-
ton to save ourselves from inconven-
fence we May save every reader from
mourning slight loss OF some time in
the future.
Among the subscriptions coming to
US In postage stamps we occasionally
open letter to find the postage stamps
glued closely together, rendering it
difficult to separate them. If each
subscriber sending stamps will rub the
gummed side of them rapidly over the
hair at the back of tho head a few times
they will not stick together, 1t is prob
ably the natural oil in the hair that
produces this desirable effect.
This receipt will bs remembered to
advantage by persons carrying postage
stamps in envelopes or pocketbooks
about their persons. The writer has
had reason to appreciate It's value,
particularly when travelling in tropi-
cal climates.

Origin of the Word "Undertakers."
st. Louis Globe Democrat.

st. Louis Globe Democrat.
The earliest known use Of this word
as applied to conductors Of funerals is
by Young, who has the couplet:
While rival undertakers hover round,
And with his spaid the sextant marks the ground
The present use of the word is no
doubt derived from its primary mean
ing, one who STIMULATES to do anything
or undestakes the management of any
affair. Two hundred years ago a
class of people known as the upholdsrs
were usually called upon to take charge
of a funeral. Thus the poet Gay says
The upholder, rueful harbinger of death,
Waits with impotence for the dying breath.
Now upholders were dealers in sec
ond~hand furniture, old clothes, AID
the like, and perhaps were so because
they were so often resorted to as the
last resource of falling credit. As
these persons were able from their
stock of cheaply purchased goods to
supely what was needed at funerals
at less expense than the regular mer-
chant or haberdasher, they came to be
thus employed, and also to furnish
houses. In time the more ambiti GUS
of this class confined their business to
furnishing houses only, and dealt in
goods both old aAd new, and to avoid
the confouadikg of their business with
that Of the funeral managers styled
themselves upholsters, a name hang
ed later to upholsterers. Subsequently
the..more pretentious members of the
clan of uphoisterers assumed the name
OF undertakers deriving their cogno>
men logically enough from the signi-
fcation of it's parts Ia the Saxon tongue
ue. An undertaken; one who takes in
hand business or task or renders
himself responsible for its performance
or perhaps the idea of the word was
taken from the French name for the
same Office, entrepreneur, though the
primary idea Of the French word is
rather that of one who bids for par
tic liar task. Clarendon in his ''His~
tory" gives the word with general
meaning IN the line. tAntrim was
naturally a great undertaken" Hon>
eyweod in "The Good Natured Man"
of Goldsmith, speaks thus of Croaker:
His very mirth is an antidote to all
gayety, and his appearance has a
stronger effect on my spirits than an
undertaker's shop"

A GUEST GOT TIL BRIDE.
AFTER He Was Invited to the Wedding
He Proposed to the Lady and Got


He Proposed to the Lady and Got
Her.
AMERICUs, Ca, Nov. last Tues
day young man named Charlie
Prother came to town, bought we'd
ding suit, and, after advertising the
fact about town fairly we'll, invited
several of his acquaintance to the
wedding. Among the latter was Matt
Hart, to whom he confded that the
expectant was Miss Viola Mitchell,
who was teaching a country school a
couple of miles outside the village.
Half an nour later Matt secured a
horse and buggy, drove to the schools
house, and brought Miss Mitchell to
town, where, by the favor of Elder
w. @. Bouton, they were soon made
man and wife. It seemed that Hart
had been paying the lady some att
tentions, but had not suggested mar
rage, although he mad intended to do
so, until he learned that it would soon
be everlastingly too late. Then tax
ing advantage of the brief time that
remained to him. he made haste to
make up for lost time. AS the lady
really preferred him and had only &C
copied Prother because she supposed
the other man wasn't in earnest, he
found it easy to outwit his unsuspect,
ing rival and get away with the bride
himself.

Bogus Homestead Entries i'm Dakota.

Mr.. Sparks, commissioner of the
general land Office, has recently re-
celved reports from special agents
which convince him that fve>sixths
of the homestead entries In Dakota
and throughout that region are fraud
ulent. He has received number of
advertisements of land agents who Of
fer to obtain land for Elk union soldiers
or sailors, without the necessity OF
residing upon the land, which the law
requires, and Mr.. Sparks has been
provided with copies of railroad tick
cts to which certificates OF homestead
entries, under the timber culture act,
are attached as gratuitous coupons to
the purchasers of the railroad tickets.
Mr.. Sparks says that while in indiy-
idual instances the result of his action
may cause hardship, he shall decline
to certify the vast mass of pending
applications for patents to the presi>
dent for signature until he is CON-
WINGED that the entries are not of a
fraudulent characted, and that he will
ask congress for force enough to
make these investigations speedily.

taken up stairs to retire, but not to
sleep. She was planning an escape
from the building.
After time she arose and looked
out of the window, and was astonished
ed to the light Of lantern swinging
in a distant part of the orchard on the
premises. She succeeded ia stealing
softly cut of the house without discOv-
cry, and drew near the light, which
she watched till the parties went away,
and then went to the place and found
a newly~made grave. She hid out on
the prairie all night and, when morn
ing came, went to neighbor's house
and told her story. The alarm soon
spread abroad. and people focked to
the house from far and near in great
crowds, but the family had disappear
ed Their horses were found standing
bitched to a wagon pot far off, and
that was the only trace that could be
found. A crowd gathered and formed
themselves into a mob for the pur
pose of wreaking vengeance upon the
murderers. They set off in a certain
direction, and when they came back
not single member could be prevail
ed upon to say whether they had aU-
complished their purpose or not.
Hence the uncertainty. Some claim
that they did, and were afraid to tell
lest it bring them trouble. Others
claim that if they had they would
have been too glad to tell, as large
reward had been offered for each and
every member of the family that
might be brought back dead or alive.
Why they should continue so silent
upon this matter to even the present
day remains mystery.
Some hint that they might have
overtaken the family, prevailed upon
them to keep silent and allow them to
escape. But this is only vague con-
lecture. There are those who believe
that beyond a doubt that identical
family can be found in Germany to-
day II anybody takes the trouble to
90 there and look for them. The bod
les of several persons were fousd buri~
ed in the orchard. The graves were
found by taking the end gate rods out
of wagons and sticking them here and
there in the ground until they would
strike soft spot which IN every in~
stance proved TO be grave. How
many more have been buried in other
places will never be known.
Mr.. Wright was granted the privi~
lege of inspecting the tive hammers
that were used so often and SO success
fully as instruments Of destruction in
the hands of those villainous and
blood thirsty owners. They are harm
less looking implements but ugly
weapons. The handles are badly
splintered as almost every one who
sees them is desirious Of procuring a
splinter Or a shaving as a relic.
The hammers together with an old
clock that once belonged to the house
hold property of the Bender family,
and perhaps often tolled the hour for
the burial of some poor unfortunate,
who had fallen in those merciless
clutches are ia the possession OF a
gentleman named Baily, who holds a
distinguished office in the city of Par
sons Kan.

BUTCHERED HIS WIFE.
Shocking Story of Murder by a Brutal
Husbana In Buffalo. NY.

Shocking Story of Murder by a Brutal
HUSBAND In Buffalo, n. u.
BUFFALO, Nov, "Details of MUIR
der doubtless committed On Sunday
night, have just come to light. Char
les Herman and his wife, Eva, have
for some months occupied rooms in
the upper part of house in the Ger
man section of the city. Mrs. Her
kept small stand on one end of the
public market, while her husband, q
butcher, has been out Of employment.
Herman is described as being a man
of violent temper, especially when un-
der the influence of liquor, and
heavy drinker. He had been on a
prolonged spree and on Sunday night,
after the couple had retired, sounds of
fight between them were heard, but
as this was not an unusual occurrence,
no attention was paid to it. Since then
nothing has been seen of Mrs. Herman
although Herman visited his home
regularly at night and left in the
morning. Last night and this morn
ing he was seen at the usual hour. The
absense of Mrs Herman caused one of
her neighbors to call at her rooms
this morning, but finding the doors
locked forced them open and found
her body with throat cut from ear to
ear lying upon the floor near the bed.
The woman's hand was also found
cut in several places, while the dis
turbed state of the room showed that
terrible struggle had taken place.
As the bedroom is the only one occu>
pied by the couple it is believed that
since the murder Herman has slept
there. The post mortem examination
seows that Mrs. Herman has been
dead a number of days.
The police decided that Herman had
something to do with the crime, more
especially as the razor with which the
crime was committed was found uns
der the bed, where it had been thrown.
The entire detective force was put on
the lookout for Herman, and about
o'clock this afternoon Officer Joseph
Wright who learned of the crime,
found him in a saloon on the Terrace
and placed him under arrest.
