Mysterious Tragedy.

Mysterious Tragedy.
John Warner, a tall, bald-headed ma'
with a fringe of gray hair showing under bis
hat, and black mustache tinged with gray
hired ! hall bedroom on the fourth floor OF
the fat No. 1872 West Tenth street, New
York, about two months ago. He was ac-
companied by boy of fourteen, likely
yonnp fellow whom he introduced as his
son Joseph. The landlord did not inquire
into his business or antecedents, and as the
neuv lodger attended to his own business
and refrained from meddling with the affairs
of others he went bis way day by day IN
observed and undisturbed by bis fellow ten
ants. Beyond the casual observation that
he was a Canadian no one knew much
about him. He came and went at regular
hours, and ut night be and The boy always
slept together in the house. Early yester-
day morning pistol shots were heard com.
ing from the room occupied by the Warmers.
These aroused the next door LOGGER and the
landlord, and they tried the door. 1t was
locked, and no answer came TO their knock
ing. Then they broke the lcck and looked
in. The elderly lodger lay OH the floor, partly
dressed. with big pistol in his hand. There
was blood on the carpet The police were
notified and an ambulance summoned. They
reached the spot together. Mr.. Warner
had his trousers on and had evidently gone
about his bloody deed with deliberation.
On the window.sill stood a small looking
glass beside three or four pistol cartridges.
He had apparently used the glass in fixing
his aim SO that the bullet should not fail TO
kill him after he had taken his sons life.
The boy lay in bed in his night shirt, with
his head on his right arm as be had slept,
shot through the left temple. He bresthed
but was senseless. 1t was clear that the
father had shot him sleeping. He never
awoke to suffer. The bullet had crashed
through his brain and he died in the hos.
pital shortly after his arrival there. The
father, after shooting his son, turned the
weapon to his own head, sent the second
bullet through his own brain and dropped
dead in his tracks. There was nothing in
the room to furnish any clue to the mystery
of the double crime. From the plainness OF
the surroundings, the appearance of the
clothes worn by both the Warmers, which
were cheap and we'll worn, and the fact that
no money was found in the room, it would
appear that poverty was the motive of the
fathers crime.

that cover the skull aud clinched on the

Badness then becomes simply an &C.

Students of human naturs have found
exponsnts of character ia the way ! man
wears his hair, curls his mustache, ties
his cravat, buttons his coat. bags bis
Trousers at the knees, and wears on the
sides Of his shoes, int to some of these
lovers OF the curious there is little about
a man, his features, form. and clothes. his
voice, manner, and gait, that does not
stan out as an exponent Of some peculiar
phase OF his character.
The p~renologist no longer has a monop-
olyfn character reading The halter has
entered the lists Agssnt him and Will read
. mans character by the outline show

the shoemaker comes next to tell what
kind OF a man is his patron by the curve
OF the instep, the knots and bunions. or by
the manner In which the soles of old shoes
are worm The tailor. the furnisher, and
clothes cleaner also have their peculiar
methods of reading character, and the mind
reader has but little advantage over all
these when they combine to tell a man
what he is INT what he thinks. The de

rnE CUTTING AFFAIR.

The Cutting affair is settled, and the
III OF II is once more a free man on free
soil While the demand Of the United
States m complied With and the victory
is with us, it Is a barren triumph at the
best. The action OF the Mexican court
was tardy and the law of nations disre-
garded as long as possible. Under similar
circumstances a repetition of the offense
would surely occur, the more certainly
that the Mexicans are more angry than
overawed. The settlement has been made,
but it is more Incidental than final. and
in the not far distant future a much more
serious reckoning, being that Of the sum
total, will take place. To the Mexicans,
the remembrance Of the length of time
for which they braved the displeasure of
our government, will be a constant temp
tation to treachery and vislencc-charac-
~icristic Of the Mexican mind, needing no
incentive-and it would, probably have
been better for both nations if we had at
once asserted our national preponderance.
and settled the matter in a far more sum
mary and efficient manner. en

A sanguine young nan in New York
has started what scenes to be 3 new line
of business. He has a lot OF shot guns,
single and double barreled, that, he pro-
poses to lend, for a consideration, by the
day, week, month, or year. He reasons
that in a population SO large as that Of
New York there u be q great many
people who would like to go hunting II
they only had guns. But they cannot af-
ford to make permanent Investments IN
the purchase OF guns, so he steps in ITO
supply n long-felt want" As yet no guns
have been lent by the young man, but he
