The young wife's room is the scene
of continued gayety during the hours
when the President is attending the
affairs of state. How different the
apartment which adjoins it on the
west, Visitors have often noticed that
this room is never opened. The cur
tains are tightly drawn, and no one
ever thinks of crossing its threshold.
1t was in that room that Garfield
lived for months, tortured by Assassin
Guiteau's bullet, while nation hoped
and prayed for the recovery that never
came. The room is almost precisely
as it was the day when Garfield was
taken from it and carried to Elberon,
where he breathed his last. President
Arthur had horror of the place, He
gave orders that it should remain un-
touched as long as he was in the White
House, and these orders were strictly
obeyed. President Cleveland has said
nothing upon the topic as yet, but it
is understood that he, too, is loath to
break the silence of that room.-Boston

AT Valcartier, Canada, on Friday, a
blazing meteor, probably ten feet in
circumference, descended from the sky.
After touching the earth it assumed a
strange appearance, creating terror in
the minds of the country people, many
OF them coniuring up the worst fears,
and looking forward to the speedy dis
solution of the universe. Just previ
Gus to this occurrence the sky lowered
and the beasts of the field sent up dis
tressing cries, bringing credulous per
sons readily to their knees in suppli-
eating posture. Within the last few
days the lightning has been very severe
and earthquake shocks have been fre-
quent.

Russian, but in all the thirty-four
years he refused to disclose his real
name. In the winter of 1882, when
the snow was quite deep, he was dis
covered walking in front of the aims
house in his bare feet, with his boots
strung over his shoulder. Being taken
into the institution he ever afterward
refused to leave it, He was about 60
years of age.
EX-Sheriff Amos Gauntt. of Wood
bury, who in years past was an influ-
ential Republican politician of Glou
cester county, died recently from the
effects of dose of Paris green taken
with suicidal intent. The deceased
lived on Broad street, opposite the new
Court House, where his wife kept
clearinghouse. He took the poison
early in the morning, being found by
his wife in the act of vomiting, and for
some time refused to take an emetic
and an antidote which were prescribed
by the physician. Mr.. Gauntt suffered
the keenest agony during the day and
died at II o'clock. Financial trouble
was said to be the cause of the suicide.
Alfred Gulick, middle-aged, well-to-
do farmer, of Mount Bethel, three
miles from Hackettstown, while in a
despondent mood recently committed
suicide, by hanging himself from a
rafter in the garret of his house At
the hour set for his funeral, William
Smith, a young farm hand in the
employ of DR.. William A. Conover, in
whose family Tillie Smith, the murdered
kitchen maid of the Hackettstown
Seminary was at service a little prior
to the time she was murdered, hanged
himself to q butternut tree in the cor
ner of the field in which he was plow
ing corn. He tried to kill himself by
cutting the arteries of his left wrist,
but. failing, took one of the lines from
the horse he was using and hanged
himself. No cause is assigned.

Mr.. James Cole, who lives near
Hobdy's, Pa, may thank his wife's
knowledge of the habits of insects for
relief from what threatened to be "a
serious atfliction. The other night Mr..
Cole was awakened from sleep by an
intense pain in his right ear, which
was caused by beetle that was NOV
ing about in his head. Mrs. Cole, re-
that insects are attracted
by flame of fire, held candle close
to her husbands ear, and in less than
a minute the beetle, which was oyer
an inch in length, emerged and was
killed. Among the qualifications for
an accomplished wife hereafter should
be some knowledge of the character
istics of other kinds of bugs besides
those familiar with indoors

lmpatience resulted in suicide the
other day at Deep River, Conn, when
a station agent, named Dickinson, had
been directed to meet and settle with
the accountant for $500 of shortage
that appeared in his accounts. The
accountant was due at o'clock in the
morning, but Dickinson had arranged
with relative living three miles down
the road, to come up on the first train,
at $50 o'clock, and bring the money.
The train arrived without man or
money. Dickinson, doubtless, appre
hended arrest when the accountant
came, and hanged himself. Shortly
after s O'Clock his relative arrived in
his carriage with the money, but Dick

A knife wound under the eye, three
aud one-half inches deep, was received
by one James Dople in New York the
other evening. The injured man was ta-
ken to the Government Hospital where
the physicians in attendance pronoun-
ced the cut zone of the most desperate
that ever came under their notice.
In a Herald local it is told that the
knife entered at the inner angle of the
orbit and penetrated the lachrymal
bone, passing downward, backward
and slightly inward-in all, three and
a quarter inches. The house surgeon
says that the blade must have entered
as far as the mesial line and, gliding
along the vomer bone, struck the body
of the sphenoid bone, which is very
hard and turned the tips of the blade.
Before Doyle was brought to the hospit-
alone of his friends attempted to extract
the knife, and in doing so broke it off
at the rivet. To remove the blade was
very difficult DIR. Brendon procured
a common file and made small groove
on both sides of the blade and with an
instrument known as lion forceps
began to pull. The doctor is a mus
cular young man, weighing nearlytwo
hundred pounds, and he had to use
both hands on the forceps, to remove
the knife blade. while the night orderly
firmly held the patients head between
his hands with vice-like grip. Doyle
never WINGED during the terrible or
deal, but bore his sutferings with
admirable bravery.

Chinese pirates boarded Chinese
steamer at Chinchu, China, and re-
solved to kill all the foreigners on
board and take possession of the YES
sci. The Captain, hearing this, ordered
all to place a red ribbon on each of
their cues, and every one not having
this ribbon on was to be considered a
pirate. The pirates were in the hold
of the vessel, and the Captain gave or
ders to number of his men to stand
at each hatchway and cut off every
head that came up without red rib
bon. The spectacle the deck of the
boat presented was sickening. Heads
rolled off one after another. Three of
the pirates were about jumping over
board when they were discovered, and
one of them had his back slashed in
two, while another had a sword run
through him. The bleeding bodies
dyed the water for a considerable dis
tance. The remaining pirates had
evidently heard of the slaughtering
going on above, for they ceased to
come up, and escaped during the night
by jumping through the ports. The
soldiers on deck who did the decap-
itating stepped their swords in the
blood that was running into the YES
sells waterways.

A WESTERN CANNIBAL.

The second trial of Alfred Packer,
better known as the Man Eater, "
was concluded at Gunnison City, Colo
RADIO, last week. The jury, after being
out three hours, returned verdict of
guilty of manslaughter on the five
counts as charged in the Indictment,
and Judge Harrison sentenced the
prisoner to forty years imprson-
ment in the penitentiary, or eight
years for each man that he is supposed
to have murdered. The crime for
which Packer was convicted is canni-
balism.
During the early part of the winter
of 1878 Packer, in company with five
prospectors, Israel Swan, Wilson Bell,
George Noon, Frank Miller and James
Humphreys, started from Bingham,
Utah, for the new mining district in
San Juan County. The winter was
severe and game scarce, and when the
party reached the place where Lake
City now stands, they were out of pro
visions and suffering also from intense
cold. Here they went into camp, and
one night Packer murdered his COM
panions, and for fifteen days lived on
the flesh of the dead men.
In the early part of 1874 Packer
made his way to the Lospinos Agency,
where he stated that Bell had gone
crazy with hunger and murdered the
other four men, while he (Packer) was
out hunting for game. On his return
to the camp Bell attacked him with a
Ratchet. He was compelled to kill Bell
in self-delence Packer was arrested,
had preliminary hearing, and was
confined in the Sagnache Jail, from
which he escaped the same year. and
was fugitive until 1888, when hewas
recaptured at Fort Tellerman, Wy,
where he went by the name of John
Swartz. His attempt at his trial to
prove that he killed only Bell failed.
He stoutly maintains his innocence of
the other four murders, and seems re-
conciled to his fate although he claims
his sentence is unjust.
