A Poker Story.

From the Seattle CnfOn1cleJ
The Inlander, at Dayton. this terri
tory, relates that two lawyers named
Jones and Perkins went from there to
Walla Walla on business. Not being
able to catch the return train that
evening they each sent telegram to
their wives as follows: "Will not be
home to might; see Mrs. Jones" "Will
not be home tonight; see Mrs. Per-
kins." The ladies got together and
concluded to reply and remind their
husbands of some purchases they had
promised to make; 80 the following
dispatches were sent: "Don't forget
your errand: see Jones'" 'Don't for
get your errand; zee Perkins," During
the evening the gentlemen became in
terested in a highly animated game of
poker. Jones had just planked down
$75 on big bluff and Perkins was
about to pass when his telegram was
handed him. He read it, and then on
a pair of seven spots put in the S75.
'aThat's good" said Jones when the
show down was made, "but how in the
devil did you come to call me on that
hand?" Without a word Perkins
handed over his telegram. It read.
Don't forget your GRAND; zee
Jones'"

and Nearly Kills Two Men.

and Nearly Kills Two Men.
On the night of the Goth, while the
New Albany & Chicago train was
stopped for water at Harrodsburg,
Monroe County, Ind. a passenger in the
sleeping-car, J. S. Hamilton, of Green
castle, happened to be looking out of
the window, and by the reflected light
OF the engine saw man emerge appar-
emily from under the trucks, and dis
appear in the direction of the engine.
He carried a club or a stick. When
smithvi}le Hill, about two miles north
OF Harrodsburg, was reached, sharp
ring of the bell in the engine stopped
the train, and the baggage master flung
open the door of the smoking-car and
reeled in covered with blood. Hesank
on his knees and gasped out to the
Mortified passengers that a robber
had entered the baggage-car and
shot him and the express messen-
ger. He then fell forward uncon-
scious upon his face. Conductor
Chamberlain made his way into the
baggage-car. Davis, the express mes
senger, was stretched in pool of blood
by the side of his safe, which was
broken open and plundered. Every
where was the evidence of a terrific
struggle. Davis was carried into the
smoker. Webber, the baggage-master,
on becoming conscious, said he and
Davis were asleep when the robber en-
tered. Webber was awakened by a
violent blow on the head. The erobber
evidently struck Davis also while he
was asleep and h struggle ensued.
Davis, managing to loosen his right
hand, drew his revolver. Before he
could fire the man wrenched the
weapon from his grasp and leveling it
pulled the trigger. The ball struck the
messenger in the head, when he fell dy-
ing to the floor. When the safe had
been rif1ed the robber left the train as
it slowed up in answer to the bell.

night OF the 9th. A German named
Adolph Hess, with his wife and child,

severed the head of his child from it's
body. The head was found on the
floor. Hess then beat his wife on the
head until life was extinct. The room
bore evidence of dreadful struggle.
The floor was smeared with blood,
chairs were broken, and bloody finger
marks stained the wall. The woman's
body, almost nude, and horribly
bruised and gashed, lay in one corner: ):
After his bloody work Hess hung him.
self to rafter, and when found all the
bodies were stiff.

A notable parsonage among those
to be met along the avenue and in the
hotel lobbies of Washington during
the past few days has been an ex-sol-
dier, the circumstances of whose ca
reer since the war have vested him
with peculiar interest. Early in
1862 he, then a young man, enlisted
at his home in Southern Indiana, and
was ASST igned to regiment that was
actively engaged during the whole war
The young soldier made himself USE
full, was always in the thickest of the
fray, and was promoted to b. an Off
GER In one of the last BATHS fought
before the final surrender, w'aile lead
ing a charge, the young captain was
struck in the head by ball and fell.
His soldiers, with whom ne was a.
great favorite, carried him to the
rear, where he had every attention.
Then he was conveyed to Washington
and placed in one of the hospitals,
and, after a long period of suffering
his wound healed, but his reason had
fed. He was officially declared insane,
and placed in an asylum near Wash
ington, where he remained twenty
years in this condition. A few months
ago his reason returned, and he is to-
day as sane man as lives. He says
the past is blank. He can scarcely
comprehend that he is not the same
young man that he was twenty years
ago. he has found some of his COM
rades here, and they have treated him
with great kindness. He can describe
scenes and incidents of the war with
as much clearness as if they had taken
place but few months ago. Among
the friends he has recently made is ex-
Secretary of War Lincoln, who be-
came interested in his case, and has
had his application for a pension
made special by the commissioner of
pensions, who also took an interest in
the matter, and within few days he
will receive $4,000 of back pension
money, with which he intends going
into business.

A frightful epidemic prevailing at

OF the pestilence was fully discussed,

this work is accomplished, a project
for the building of sewers throughout
the town will be submitted to a vote
OF the people. The water company of
the village, having made an investiga-

that one chief cause of the epidemic
was that large portion of the village

gotten. From 1901 Exeter had it's
city hall mark of a letter K crowned,
which was subsequently altered to q
castle of three towers, but earlier
pieces of Exeter ware display the
words Easton, Exon, or Eston. At
present this activity ofthe goldsmith's
trade in the West has subsided. De-
preston tells heavily on articles of
luxury. The Exeter assay Office has
been closed, and goods manufactured
there have to be sent to London or
Birmingham to receive the marks
which the old statute still makes COM
pulsory in the case of silver plate.

Gold Ware.

From the London telegraph
The city of Exeter had a prestige
which it is likely to lose. In these
days it does not certainly count for
much, being chiefly of an antiquarian
character; but at one time it consti-
tuted the pride of the great capital of
the West. In the fourteenth century
the work of goldsmith had kind of
national Importance. All sorts of
statutes limited their labor and kept
the standard of the metal up to a
fixed quality. It was in 1879 that
parliament, recognizing and, indeed,
reciting that English goldsmiths, be-
ing their own assayers, produced gold
and silver works of a metal less fine
than it ought to be, proceeded to en-
act that every goldsmith should
have his own proper mark upon his
work, and that the assay of touch
should belong to the mayors of cities,
and that the work should bear the
marks of the city whereit was assayed:
In those days French coins were OF
fine gold, and "the touch of Paris
was 8 arecognized standard ofpurity fre-
quently alluded to in the English stat
utes. Louis XII. indeed granted to the
goldsmiths of Tours a right to make
reliquaries of gold and silver of base
alloy, but they were to be inscribed
"Non venundetur, to certify that
they were not destined for commerce,
but only for ecclesiastical purposes
Various statutes of Henry ", Henry
VIII, and Elizabeth were passed to
insure the purity of gold ware, till in
comparatively recent times In fact
the first year of the last century-cer'
tain cities were appointed for the as,
saying and the making of wrought
plate. These were York, Exeter, Bris.
tol, Chester, and Norwich. An old act
of 1924 had conferred the same privi
lsee on these cities in Henry Wis time

The oddities of genius are personified
in Ernest Perabeau, the Boston pia~
mist. He has theory that a pianist's
ability, to produce certain powerful
tone is in proportion to the strength
of his biceps. In short, that method,
in this respect, is merely a matter OF
muscle. He has been known to request
permission of utter strangers, whose
playing he had perhaps heard OF, to
feel their muscle, his admiration in
creasing or diminishing according to
the state of development in which he
found the biceps.
