Street Murder in New York,

Two well-dressed men of dark complexion,
we're observed standing in front of Cooper Insti
tute New York. They were talking in anima-
ted italian and gesticulated freely. William
Garritty, who was standing near saw the
two men scuffing. Garritty suspected that
the men were drunk and did not give par
ticular attention to them The scuffie
ended in the stouter of the two staggering
toward the larger of two poles one for electric
light and the other for telegraph wires near
the curbstone. Garritty did not suspect
that the man was hurt until he steadied him
self against thelarger pole and sat or rather
collapsed and sat on the curbstone directly
in front of the pole against which he leaned
with his face upturned. The other man
walked away.

A Bad Man Captured.

The little town of Champlin, Hennepin
county, just across the Mississippi river from
Anoka, is in II fiutter of excitement over the
arrest of David Murphy, who has been ter
rorizing that neighborhood. He is supposed
to be after the heart of his neice, Maggie
Ackerson, and is bound to have it, even if he
has to cut it out. Maggie is employed by
jeff Hildreth, proprietor OF the street rail-
way, and she is not at all reciprocal in this
affection displayed by her uncle David, and
has in some way raised his ire SO that he will
be satisfied with nothing short of blood He
has broken into Hldreth's house several
times, but each time made his escape When
ne made his last attempt, Mr.. Hildreth and
his sons were on the alert and the would-be
murderer ran through some rank weeds to an
old barn near by, where he was surrounded
and captured. On his person were found q
dirk, razor and butcher knife He 'splayed
possum' very cunningly after he was discov-
cred, but when they threatened to shoot him
il ne didn't brace up, he speedily recovered.
He is an uncle of George Fitzgibbons, who
was sentenced to an extended term in Still
water prison for grand larceny.

McGarigle Not a Boodler.

McGarigle, the Chicago official who now
lives in Northeast British America, was at
Winnipeg the other day, and in an interview
said: II anybody can show that l got one

& McGarigle asked that the Canadian press
should not call him boodler During the
whole OF his political life, extending upwards
of Ii years, he had lost money, whatever
place he held and he complained bitterly
that his numerous SO called politician friends
had deserted him in the lurch. The friends
which he had were not politicians, but men Of
financial and business standing.

The Sioux Indians who have gone to Wash
ington to see Secretary Villas in regard to the
proposed sale of a part of their reservation
have been holding pow-wows every day, en-
deavoring to agree upon a programme to be
followed at the conference. From all that
can be learned, 1T seems improbable that any
agreement will be reached as result of the
Indians visit;to Washington It is said that
they are almost hopelessly split up among
themselves, and that there is still no pros
pect OF their being able to unite on any prop
osition.

Those narrow minded people who
think human beings reach maturity
at the unripe age of 20 should learn
better from the Roumanians. One old
peasant called as witness in a court
of justice in the year 1882 could only
give clew to his age by saying: II
remember that when I was only a
boy our Emperor was woman"
and, reckoning from the death of
Theresa in 1850, made him not less
than ITO years old. Mrs. Gerard,
the traveller, tells us that peasants

she met one woman of 95 who could

towels than any of the younger
women. But the weaving, she said.
