mentary history OF some OF his criminal
exploits, while others told about his con-
nectiOn with the Evangelical Lutheran

LILLIAN MADIsoNs MURDER
A Discovery Which May Yet Save Olu-
verlus from the GallOws.

RICHMOND, Va, April 10 The ques-
ton OF the execution Of T. }. CluVerius
for the murder Of Fanny Lillian Madison
is now in the hands Of the highest court
Of the state, the condemned man having
asked for a new trial. The whole case
has been shrOuded in the deepest mys-
terry, but to-day an alleged fact 10 revealed
which will create a great sensation.
ln the latter part OF last summer an old
maiden lady named Rachel Mcdonald,
living near the reservoir In which the
body Of Lillian Madison was discovered,
was found dead in her yard, with her
throat cut. Apparently every effort was
made 10 discover the means Of her death,
but without avail. Her property Is in the
hands 0i tne court, aud now comes the
startling news that witnesses have been
found 10 prove that Miss Mcdonald was
murdered, and that they wall appear be-
fore the next grand jury Of the county
(HenricO) with more positive evidence.
Sui more startling Is the information
that Lillian Madison, who, II was thought,
was thrown into the reservoir by her cous-
In, Cluyerius, died at the house Of Miss
Mcdonald from an attempt at malprac-
tice and was thrown into tho water after
death. All these rumors have excited the
greatest interest and lc0unsel for Clu-
Yerlus we're not slow IN doing everything
possible to get the facts OF Miss McD0n-
AIDS death out. One OF the shrewdest de-
tectiyes In the country has been employed d
in the case.

Sentenced to be Shot for Murder, Par
doned and Dying an Outcast.
READING, PA, April 9..-Charles Muir
ray, who was killed on the Pennsylvania
and Reading railroad, below this city, has
had strange career. Years ago his
father was one of the wealthiest and most
worthy citizens OF ConshOhockeu. He
was unable to do anything with his son,
who always manifested vicious disposi-
ton, although married to a respectable
young woman Of the place. W hen the
war broke out he enlisted. While sta
toned in Virginia he murdered, for the
purpose OF robbery, member OF the Fifty
first New YORK regiment while the man
was lying asleep under tree. Members
OF this regiment will remember the ex-
citement caused in the army by the
crime. Murray was searched aud
the dead mans valuables were found
upon him. lie was tried by cOuTt-mar-
tial, found guilty Of murder and sentenced
to he shot. His father spent his fortune
to save hrs sons life. Personal appeals
were made to President Lincoln, secre-
tary stanton, Gen. Grant and other Of
icials, but these appeals were resisted
by the dead mans friends because Of the
atTocity OF the murder. Finally his SEN
tence was commuted TO life imprison-
ment, and alter several years in prison he
was pardOned.
The first thing he did on the night of
his arrival in COnsh0hOcken was 10
break into aud rob his fathers store.
For nearly twenty years he was wan
derer, only returning home at long in
tervals. Several weeks ago he came 10
COnshohocken, met his little daughter
on the street, gave her 81, and told her 20
have her picture taken aud TO send II to
him at BirdsbOrO, this county. This
picture was found on his person when he
was killed. His connections include
some Of the best people IN NOrristOwn
and COnshohocKen. Tne body was ship

Children Earning Money.

Children can not begin too young to
earn money. II it is only little-ouo
egg for every dozen they find, pay for
carrying the milk, few cents per
week for washing dishes, or bringing
in the wood, or coal, or kindlings; so
much for every towel they hem; or they
may keep hens Of their own, or a pig,
or care for their own calf along with
the other cattle--how much more in-
ltcrest they will takel There are an
infinite number Of ways in which a
child can earn money, and that, too,
without paying him for his little kind
nesses to the home people, either; and.
then, he has an almost inexpressible
feeling Of pride and Independence
when he buys something with his own
earnings. There is no better servant
In the world than this same money; but
TO be Of most use, II must be rightly
managed, and only experience can

A Queer Old Custom.

In Persia they bottle up their tears
as of old. This is done in the follow
ing manner. As the mourners are sit
ting around and weeping the master OF
ceremonies presents each one with a
piece Of cotton wool, with which he
wipes off his tears. This cotton is
afterward squeezed into a bottle and
the tears are preserved as powerful
and eilicacous remedy for reviving a
dying man after every other means
have failed. It's also employed as o
charm against evil influences. This
custom is probably alluded to in Psalm
LyI., s: "Put thou my tears into q
bottle" The practice was once uni
versal, as 10 found by the tear bottles
which are found in almost every
ancient tomb, for the ancients buried
them with their dead as aproof Of their
affection. - Exchange.

That was the population and property
valuation in the middle of 1880, six
years ago. To-day, in the States and
Territories named, the population
based on tho increase in the previous
decade, may be set down as 1900, 900,
and the value of property at $1,000, ,0O0,-
600. The aggregate area of Arizona.
New Mexico, Colorado, and Wyoming,
however, was larger by 269,7l4 square
miles in 1880, on account or additions
made when they were organized into
territories, than the area as given here
in the deed of cession from Mexico.
The area of California, Nevada, and
Utah has remained comparatively UNI
changed. Making allowance for the
enlarged area, the population now in
the district acquired from Mexico under
the treaty numbers about 100000,
while the property comprised in it has
valuation of about 81, 800, 100000,
From a purely monetary point of
view, therefore, the territory gained in
the war of 1868 has paid the country
thirteen times over for the entire cost
of the contest by which it was acquired.
The guild product of California from
1913, when gold was first discovered
there, up to the end of 1885, aggregated
about $1,000, ,000,000 and the gold
and silver product of Nevada since
1862, at the date Of the great silver dis
coveries in that State, have reached
$3.50. 100000. These two products
alone in the States named have paid
the war expenditure seventeen times,
and the supplies of these metals, ao-
cording TO the opinion of experts, are
not yet half exhausted. If the value
of the other mineral products and OF
the agricultural commodities yearly
marketed from these States. as well rs
from the remaining portion of the dis
trict which was annexed to the United
States at the same time, was taken into
account, the balance on the credit side
of the National ledger which that dis
trict has brought us would be vastly

GERMAN TYPES.
Predominsnoe OF ond-Brunettes Over
Both Blonds and Brunettos.

Predominsnce OF Blond -Brunettes Over
Both Blonds and Brunettes.
Prof. Rudolf Virchow, the learned
surgeon and physicist, has lately pre-
pared some interesting tables concern
ing the color of the hair, eyes and skin
among the German school children.
Six million seven hundred and fifty
eight thousand eight hundred and twen-
ty-scyen pupils were examined, being
nearly four-ffths Of all the youth of
"a b c" age. OF these 2. 149, ,027-31.08
per cent-belonged to tho blond type,
949, ,822-14.05 per cent to the bru-
nette, and 8, $50, ,97S-54. 10 per cent-to
the blond-brunette or mixed type, dis
tinctly showing that more than one
half of the entire number are in the
latter category, two-thirds of the re-
manning 46 per cent being blonds.
The territorial division of the principal
types corresponds accurately to the
geographical boundaries Of North,
South and Middle Germany: 43.3-S6
per cent of the pure blonds being found
in the northern districts, 32.5-2S.3 per
cent in the middle, and 24.5-l8 per
cent in the southern ones. The River
Main thus becomes an authropological
line of significance. In general, the
further south one goes the more bru-
nettes he meets-South Bavaria muster
ing but IA per cent blonds. Among
the rs, 376 Hebrew children the mixed
type predominates also, the pure bru-
nettes outnumbering the pure blonds,
however, three-fold. Whereas the re-
lation of the blonds to the brunettes
among the Christians is 31,S TO II,
that among the Jewish children is rs
11.29 10 AZ. The gray-eyed and dark
haired predominant in the mixed type.
Many other results were brought to
light of more interest, however, to
Germany, than to the world at large.

study of this nature and his deductions
may be accepted as categorical. Berlin

Thisis equivalent to 1884, 443, 500 acres,
and is two-thirds as large as the present

unexplored and unsurveyod territory,
as it existed ON April 30. 1903. (4O4. $50
