Mr.. Percy Burleson, aged twenty
eight, died on Saturday night after a
very short illness and was buried
yesterday afternoon at 5 p. m. A
large number of friends following the
body to It's last resting place. The
death following so closely on the
death of his sister Miss Maude Burle-
son six weeks ago was very sad one
and leaves the afflicted mother with
one only child remaining. Percy
Burleson was in the prime of life,
thoroughly educated and young
man of amiable qualities. The death
Of his sister, to whom he was
devotedly attached, left him prey to
a melancholy which probably, super
induced by an accident few weeks
ago, shattered constitution naturally
delicate and fastened his end. TIC
the loving mother mourning the death
of two beloved children, and sister
doubly bereft, the News tenders
its warmest sympathy.

Herr scloenweg.. Discovery.

Securite, tho new hameless. explosive,
is the invention of Herr Schoenweg, and
has been used in Germany for two years
past. 1t composed Of nitrated hydro
carbon in combination with certain oxi-
dizing agents, which Is rendered flameless
by tho addition OF certain proportion OF
an organic salt. 1t emits a spark in ex-
ploding, but this spark is harmless, not
possessing sufficient energy to explode
inilammable gases or coal dust. BY the
action Of the organic salt tho spark Is
almost instantly extinguished. In the
tests mentioned. the fameless "securite"
was exploded In vessels containing the
most highly explosive mixture Of gas and
air, and, in some cases, this combined
with coal dust, but while gunpowder in
variably causes their explosion, the flame
less ''securite" did not ignite the gas or
the coal dust, and it was demonstrated
to be safe, even under more severe tests
and conditions than are ever present In
mining operations. Detroit Free Press,

A TragediaH's Revenge.

ago John Brougham's wife ran away from
him with Henry Wallack, uncle Of Lester.
Wallack deserted her and died, and she be-
came tramp actress in England. Twenty
years after, when Edwin Forrest got into
trouble with his wife, the latter went on the
stage at Brougham's theatre, III this city, the
Lyceum. He warned Brougharn, but in vain,
and then he swore revenge. A messenger
was sent to England to hunt up Mrs Broug-
ham Robertson she called HERSELF. aud put
her on the American stage. Brougham had
married again without waiting the formal
titles Of divorce, and it had cost him some
money to satisfy the first wife when she
heard of it. However, Forests messenger
found the lady, and back she came to Amer
lea. Her first move was to call upon her
first husband. She sent in her name and
Brougham promptly came into the parlor,

Foraslng for Her Cats.


The spectacle Of handsome woman In an
unmistakable Worth gown plucking grass
out OF a Fifth avenue dooryard would, am
certain, have attracted the attention OF an
even less curious person than myself. The
fact that ] was well acquainted with the
charming wcarcr OF the gown and had never
known her n be addicted to excuses Of
lunacy added TO the interest her sct inspired
in me. Her explanation was simple enough,
however. She was foraging for her cats.
Pussy, 1t seems, has gastronomic fondness
for grass second only TO that which she cher
ishes for catnip. She devours grass, my fair
friend AYERS, as tonic, and cat we'll dosed
with grass will, she states, preserve its good
condition against all the ills that felinity Is
heir 10. Having two cats In her family, my
gentle informant should certainly DO an
authority.
She goes to the trouble OF carrying hand
full of grass homo every day to her pets to
nibble on, and they do it justice, she says, as
a properly constituted Frencbman would
render its due to the most succulent salad.
They get the grass as q regular diet, and cat
nip as an occasional reviver at this season. but
in winter time have to worry along on catnip
alone. An additional and curious item, ac-
cording to my enlightener, is thai fairly
well bred cat infinitely prefers the dried cat
nip one buys at the druggists to the leaves
fresh from the field. Pussy will roll herself
on the fresh leaves, and perhaps nibble them
just little. She will roll OH the dried cat
nip, too, and then devour it to the last crumb
and then stagger away to sleep off her de-
bauch in quiet corner, like any experienced
rounder that travels ON two iegs-Aifred

Italy,s New Criminal Code.

The new criminal code of Italy, just pro-
mulgated, abolishes the death penalty for
murder or any serious crime. 1t substitutes
therefor imprisonment for life. The first
ten years is to be in solitary confinement at
hard labor AT the end of that period, if the
convict has conducted himself well, he can
victs, but is still condemned to remain silent
For continued good behavior he is to be re-
warded by permission to speak occasionally.
In case Of dueling the court has first to deter
mine whether all laws Of honor have been
complied with, and then the penalty is six
months Imprisonment for mere fighting For
DEATH five years imprisonment; seconds in
the first case to have three months, in tho
second case two months and half.-New
