A STRANGE THEORY,

"Indeed, from a careful investiga ton
I'm satisfied the Austin crimes were not
committed by the same person. Do you
know that l have theory about crime
1 insist, and I'm often laughed at for in
1sting, that if man is left alone he will
never commit crime. It's suggested to
him"
"Suggested!" exclaimed the reporter.
"Yes, suggested. That's the word.
Crime at first is suggested, tell you, my
friend, some of the purest men now living.
Yes, l make the assertion that men in this
city, the very soul of honor and as honest
as the angels in heaven, have been sorely
and uhaccountably disturbed by
thoughts crashing into their
brain to do dishonest things.
They were suggestions for some hidden,
subtitle power, and the suggestions, if har-
bored for moment, invariably mapped
out plan for successfully doing the evil
act. OF course the truly honest man
brushes these suggestions on the instant
the dishonest fathers them and COM
mits the deed as suggested. It's the same
way with murder; and two men may be
impressed to comnit a murder In pre-
cisely the same manner. You've been
with several IN room at nlgnt having
social chat when one of the party would
get up, and for instance, close a blind,

would remark, 4 was just thinking of do
ing that or some one of the party would
say he was thinking of going to certain
place or of doing certain thing when
you or others would be thinking of doing
precisely the very same thing without ever
having consulted or mentioned the matter
to each other. All impressed at the
same time with the same idea.
So with murder. man may be impress
ed to commit aemurder in east Austin,
another man be impressed to commit pre-
clsely the same kind of murder in West
Austin on the same night or some other
night. A murder committed in a rage is a
far different thingfrom murder suggest

the UGLY cIRL
Some Advantages which She Has Over
Her Pretty Sister.

Some Advantages which She Has Over
Her Pretty Sister.
1t is a strange fact that the ugly girl is
rather a favorite than otherwise. al
though a thing of beauty is joy for
ever.
When we look at her, says HarpeI's
Bazar, we lament the shape of her nose,
we sigh over the cast in her eye, we de-
plore the dizziness of her complexion, we
can find nothing to praise; but perhaps
she smiles, or she has q witching manner.
She knows the spell which puts every
one at his ease she owns the charm which
makes others pleased with themselves;
and then we are won't to say that there is
no such person as the ugly girl. But to
those who do not know her, who do not
come under the magnetism of her pres
ence she remains the ugly girl to the end
of the chapter; and when she marries-
carries off the best match Of the season,
perhaps-prettier women are at their wits
end 10 know what attractions she pos
sesses superior to their own.
What is il that redeems the ugly face
and makes it shine with comeliness so
that we sometimes would not exch ange it
with all its misshapen features, for the
beauty of Aphrod lite? The plain face
which is alive with intelligence, which
beams with an expression of refinement
and good nature, which culture and high
mindedness animate. becomes sometimes
finer and more effective than mere pretti-
ness, mere pink and white loneliness,
mere shapeliness and symmetry of feat
ure; a pretty face has been known to pail
upon one, but who has sounded the depth
of attra elton which resides in a mobile
countenance where the features may be
found to swear at each other, so to speak?
But the ugly girl must choose her colors
and fashions wisely. She must not be
ultra and conspicuous; she must know
how to bring out whatever charms exist
in her face or figure if she would over
come the defects; il her nose is large, the
hair on the top of the head will be most
becoming; If her face is heavy, a turban
hat that coveres the forehead will add to
its Disagreement; if her ears are large
and iIl-shapen, she should not wear ear
rings. She should first of all recognize
her defects.
The ugly girl has some advanta ges
over her pretty sister; she does not fade
so early, or at least her fading is not so
palpable, and she is usually a hettar-
looking matron than a girl.

Farce Islands, extraordinary meetings
of crows are occasionally known to
occur
They collect in great numbers. as if
they had all been summoned for the
occasions; few of the flock sit with

exceedingly active and noisy In the
course of about an hour they dispense.
and it is not uncommon, after they
have flown away, to find one or two left
dead upon the spot. These meetings
will sometimes continue for day or
two before the object, whatever il may
be, is accomplished Crows continue
to arrive from all quarters during the
session. As soon as they have all ar
rived, a very general noise ensues, and
shortly after the whole fall upon one

THE eRulsER KING.
The Whole World Pays Homage to Sui
1ivan, Our Sullivan.


John L. Sullivan, whose success has been
greater than that Of any visitor to England
except buffalo Bill, - is a typical American
in that all Of his successes have been won
by s'hard knocks"
Boston may hug herself with positive
JUNCTION in the knowledge that three repre-
sentatives of her peculiar culture have won
unusual social recognition in Eng land-Low-
ell, Holmes and Sullivan.
According to the English idea, the 'tgreat-
est of these is Sullivan.
The phlegmatic English populace is sell
dom ''enthused'' tc the point of unhitching
the horses from the carriage of a popular
idol, while excited men wrangle for the hon

it through the streets.
1t well illustrates the power Of mind over
matterl
Sullivan, dined and wined by the nobility,
followed and cheered by surging masses of
s'we, the people, drawing crowded houses
at his exhibitions, must be stated, if one of
his stamp can be, with adulation and APP
/ plause.
1t would be a sad elbow to him if he
should be knocked out'' in his coming con-

| The best of Athletes reach, sometimes
early, point at which their powers begin
to wane. Over training often produces
serious effects. John G. Heenan died in

| was called consumption. A post mortem
| examination in many of these cases has re-
vealed that it is the primary organs, tn e
| kidneys, liver and heart, that are most af-
fected by Athletic over training. If they
are taken care of, there is little danger.
Harry Wyatt, the celebrated English
| trainer and athlete, says; Il consider
Warmers safe cure invaluable to all who
are training for outdoors sports. I have

Sullivan is beyond question the present
"Athletic King,'' and if he follows Wyatt's
advice, he will no doubt long remain at the
head of the profession"

1t has always been possible for an
