Balthazar Kraus, the well known Ger
man barber, wasassaulted at Bellaire about
two o'clock Sunday morning on his way
home from his shop, and hotandprobably
fatally wounded Charley Bradford, one OF
his assailants.
Balthazar had been kept late at the
shop Saturday night, and it was two
o'clock when he got to Judge Andcrson's
residence on North Belmont street. He
lives square farther up, in Sheets addi-
ton. He saw thrOe men slowly coming
towards him. He waikiki close o'the
iron railing to allow them to pass him,
but they separated and he had to pass
between two on the outside and one who
went close to the railing. AS he reached
them one suddenly threw his arm across
Balthazar,s neck and choked him, throw
ing his head back.
They all then began to search his pock-
cts. Balthazar had his hands in his over
coat pockets and in the pocket with his
right hand was a self-cocking revolver.
He drew this at once, and placing II against
the breast OF one OF the men fired. The
man fell and the other two ran of.
Balthazer did not recognize any OF them
until he had hunted up an officer and re-
turned to where the man was still lying
on the pavement, when he was found TO
be Charley Bradford. The ball passed
through the right lung. lie was taken TO
the lookup, where he is still lying. He
thinks himself he will die, and says he is
bleeding internally; but DR.. Anderson
thinks there is hope Of his recovery. He
refuses to tell anything about his accom-
pliees. He has not been about town for
some time, but Bob Vaultenburg'and John
Poorman were seen with him late Satur-
day night. Vaultenberg, who is a stone
cutter and until recently has been steady
workman, WINS arrested yesterday, but
Poorman cannot be found.

About Ices and iced Drinks.

Ices ana iced drinks are now so common
in hot weather-trOm the iced champagne
with which the diner-out accompanies and
the iced pudding with which he unwisely
concludes the dinner, to the delicious
ha p orth with which the street boy de.
lights to cool his tuGgue-that We habitu-
ally forget the insult which sudden lump
or draught OF freezing matter offers to the
much-endurinE stomach. Dr. Wuter adds
to his report on cheap ices a rider which
though often forgotten now, was 4 truism
thirty years ago. The mere fact of the
hasty consumption Of ice on hot day aud
an empty stomach would in itself fire.
quently cause unpleasant results" " IN
pleasant results is a euphemism for which
our grandmothers and great aints used
plainly to call sudden deaths. We do not
believe that in the case with which Dr.
Muter was concerned the sufferers were in
jured merely by the internal chill for it is
almost incredible that so many persons
should have been thus simultaneously af-
fected by ices from a particular barrow.
1t is also clear that in threatening US with
death as the penalty for drinking cold
Water-ice was a lare luXury-wheu we
were hot, our grandmothers grossly exag-
gerated the truth, for since their time the
use of chilled drinks and foods has become
almost universal. even in England, but alb
Solutely so in the United States Never
theless, there was truth i'll what they said.
People in America pay very heavily in di-
gestion and vitality for the haSty JOY which
they are perpetually snatching from
draughts OF water at the freezing point
nor do we. who follow them at a very re-
spectful distance, by any means escape the
penalties of imprudence And the odd
thing is that cold drinks are, after all. a
very Indifferent remedy for heat The poor
Fiiian, in the fever OF measles, rushes to
the shore and lies down in the cool. clear
waves. His bliss for five minutes must be
exquisite but it Is fatal. So the man adj
dicted to iced drinks feels for minute
and only for a minute-that what an Irish
man calls 81 the sensitive thirst is hunted
out of every square inch of his body But
the evil spirit returns, bringing with it
several others more clamoTous than itself
For really cooling drink, if one will but
wait for five minutes for the effect. hot tea
is better than most things, and, as Anglo
Indians know. the wrist held under tap
of running water cools more than any sort
of drink London Standard

THERE COMES A TIME.

There comes a time to every mortal being,
Nhete' er his station or his lot in life
When his sad soul yearns for the final freeing
FROM all this Earring and unlovely strife.
There comes time when, having lost its SAVIOR
The salt OF wealth IS worthless when the
mind
Grows weary with the worlds capricious favor
And signs tor something that il does not find
There comes a time when, though kind friends
ere thrOnging
AboG. our pathway with sweet acts of grace
We feel a vast and oyerW helming longing
For something that we cannot name or place
There comes time when, with Earth's best
-ove by Us
To iced the hearts great hunger and desire,
We md not even this can satisfy US;
The soul within Us cries for something higher
Wha: greater proof need we that men inherit
l-ie immortal in another sphere"
Its the homesick longing OF the spirit
1ha; cannot find it, satisfaction here.
