Alfred Lincoln Figel, son of Jos
Figel, the we'll known Montgomery
street merchant, accidentally shot
and killed himself last Saturday
night in his rooms at the Paramount
Hotel, on Market and Fell streets in
the presence of his wife. The de-
ceased was playing with his little
baby daughter and amusing it by
fourishing a pistol before it. He
actually put the muzzle of the
weapon into the baby's mouth
several times, so certain was he that
it was unloaded. Mrs. Figel, fear
ing that it might contain a cartridge
took it away from him; but he again
secured it and to convice his wife
that it was not loaded put it to his
own head and pulled the trigger.
1t was discharged and a bullet n
tered his brain. An examination OF
the pistol showed that it had con-
tanned only one cartridge. The de-
ceased vas but % years of age and a
bookkeeper for Reiss Brothers,
clothiers on Suffer street. Mrs.
Figel was almost distracted over the
dreadful accident. and her shrieks
for some time afterward could be
heard q block away.-S. f. Report.

The Deadly Compound That ~ Al.
feeted by New York SwclIs.
Whoever goes into any of the
very swell uptown drinking.places
on these nights will observe that the
Young handles are all seated behind
glasses that contain q beverage of a
violently greenish hue. This is the
latest fad of the bar rooms. 1t is
called " green mint" There is no
mint at all in it. 1t is a concoction
of alcohol and sugar with a little
essenc Of peppermint in it to give it
tone, and squeezing of spinach
leaves to produce its deadly color.
That is the Ease if the drinker is
lucky enough to get the real French
article. The imitation is colored
with aniline dye. 1t is the most
harmful of all foreign cordials if it is
not genuine, and the least admirable
if it is properly made. The other
cordials are we'll understood.
Maraschino is made from a plant
that grows in Cyprus. lara is the
great market-place for it. 1t is dis
titled and embodied in a syrup Of
alcohol and sugar. Vermouth is a
very cheap white wine worth only
FIVE or six cents a quart where it is
made. 1t is sweetened and favored
with the essence of several harmless
aromatic plants. That is the Italian.
The French wine used as the basis
for the vermouth of that country is
a little better-equal, in fact, to the
lowest grade of Sauterne. Kummel
is not tinctured with anise seed,
though it tastes as if it we're. Its
taste comes from the distilled
essence of the seeds OF a plant of that
name. These seeds are as hard as
stones. Anisette is what its name
implies. Kirschwasser is favored
with the product of squeezed cher
ries. pulp, skins, pits and all.
Chartreuse gets its favor from 20
plants, all tonic or aromatic. The
basis of all these cordials is spirits and
sugar. only excepting vermouth,
and into that the Italians put 10 per
cent Of alcohol.-N. Y. Sun.

Is is Nos wise TO give Away Your
Present.


When the sister Of the Governor
Of q neighboring State was married q
few years ago. says the Pittsburg
Dispatch, she received a great many
valuable presents. and among them
we're many pieces of plate and silver
ware OF all sorts. But particularly
was she overwhelmed with silver
fruit spoons. Beautifully chased,
gold-lined, in every sort of variety
were these spoons.
After the wedding, and when they
had returned from the honeymoon,
the bride found that she had no i'm
mediate use for half the silverware
she possessed especially as for the
time they were to live in her
mothers house. So she consigned
some Of it to the care of q bank in
town. The fruit spoons all went to
the vault.
Afew months later she received an
invitation to attend the wedding OF
a schoolmate in u neighboring town.
She said she would have to 60 to New
York to buy q suitable present and
she did not care about taking the
journey just then.
All at once the idea came into her
head that she had a great superiority
Of fruit spoons. Why should she
not send some of them to her school
mate for a wedding present? There
seemed to be no objection, so she sent
the butler down to the bank with
orders to pick out a pretty case Of
spoons. The butler fulfilled hi;
mission. None Of the presents were
ticketed, so it was altogether i'm
possible to tell from whom this par
ticulsr set of spoons had come.
The spoons travelled once more to
an hymeneal altar, and the lady who
sent them heard nothing about then
for several days.
Then she received the following
letter:
Dear Madam: / am very grateful
to you for returning the spoons. J
thought they were too good for you
when I sent them to you as 6
wedding present, and it is honest fol
you to send them back.
Yours, etc. - -

a BOY HERMIT.
A Child Who Lives Alone AmOng
the Georgia fountains.

A Child Who Lives Alone Among
IA Georgia Mountains.
The mysterious appearance of q
child in the cliffs around Mount Alto,
about six miles down the Coosa
river, near the Rixey farm, is
creating considerable excitement in
that neighborhood. One day last
week, Crew Prince took a hunt over
the mountain ranges adjacent to the
farm on which he resides. After he
had been hunting for some time, he
heard his dog barking at a lively
rate on the opposite side of the
mountain on which he was walking.
As he got nearer the dog, he thought,
had bayed some large animal, and
was afraid to attack it. But the as
constituent of the hunter can be
better imagined than described when
he discovered that the dog had at
bay a small boy on q cliff of rocks
just above.
The boy was apparently about 10
years old and rather small for his
age. His clothes were ragged and
torn and the bottom part of his
breeches were frayed in snreds
around his ankles. He wore no hat
nor coat, and his once white shirt
was dirty and split in the back and
front. His sleeves were almost torn
into ribbons, leaving his arms ex-
posed. When Mr.. Price began talk
ing to him the little fellow began to
cry and would not nswer the
question asked as to who be was or
where he lived.
The child soon began climbing the
rocks and disappeared in the direc-
ton of Cedar Cliffs. AS soon as
possible Mr.. Price tried to ascend
the PERCEPTIONS side of the mountain
to follow the boy, The hound
tracked the child for some distance,
but could not follow the trail after
reaching Cedar Cliffs. The search
was continued for some time, but
never a vestige of a trace could be
found. from which it seems that the
boy was we'll acquainted with his
haunts. Mr.. Price lives on the
Rixey farm, but neither himself nor
any other man in the neighborhood,
who is accustomed to hunt SPUR
rels and turkeys on the range of
mountains, has ever seen or known
of the child. Nothing more has
been seen or heard of the lost boy
since Mr.. Prices discovery. There
is talk of organizing a party Of those
living in the neighborhood to look
for the boy and find out who he is
and how he was lost Rome Tri-
hnne.

Newspapers and pouuc..

just how far general newspapers
should devote themselves to politics
is a question concerning which there
is a diversity of opinion. A certain
Eastern newspaper, started just be-
fore the opening of the present Pres
idetial canvass, has recently sue
cumbed to adverse circumstances,
and has left its dying testimony that
there is a future in store for the news
paper that shall find something to
write about besides politics. Had
that journal realized this truth caller
in its career it might now be enjoy
ing a life of usefulness. The ma
jority of people are interested in
many things besides politics, aud
the newspaper that seeks TO become
really valuable to them must be de-
voted TO all questions of human in
terest and public morality. Poll
itical science has its place among
these topics. but the political squibs,
passages at arms, innuendoes and
pretty attacks to which so many Of
our journals devote a large portion of
their time cannot be dignifed by the
name of political writing and do not
properly belong to journalism IS.

Walter Fl. Brooks. aged IS was
yesterday married for the second
time to the wife of his youth by
Justice Burke. They were first
married in New York in 1913, and
after a brief period of welded bliss
quarreled over the purchase OF a
bonnet. Brooks left his wife and
came West. In most romantic cir
cumstances he found his son in o
Nevada mine, and learned that his
wife thinking him dead. had married
again and had three children. After
hunting all over for his former wife
he at last met her in this city, and
her second husband being dead

In the middle Of the square was . ring
or coil Of maidens, the eldest perhaps 20
years of age, the youngest hardly more
than 5 years old. No two were dressed
exactly alike, yet there was a general
similarity of style. All wore long white
skirts, some Of delicate materials and
others Of heavy stuff. The overskirt,
reaching to the knee, was dark and full,
hanging in many folds. A broad belt oil
silk hung below the waist. An elaborate
apron OF great variety Of color and decor
alton reached nearly to the ankles. Each
maiden wore a clostly fitting vest, gener'
ally Of red, bright blue or gilt. This
was cut low and round in form and
served as stays. On the upper part oil
the breast hung a little stomacher, on
which were hung juggling gold and sill
YER coins, the girls chief dowry. Over
and around the head, sometimes covering
the lower part Of the face, was wrapped
a gay kerchief. Seven Of the girls,
however, who stood near the head Of the
line. wore wells Of the white tissue. The
maidens' sleeves showed no or
panic connection with any outer garment
They fitted the arm closely running
around the arm. Most of the girls wore
slippers, but a few were barefoot. Th'
whole costume was bright with harmon
ious colors.
