A Horrible Tragedy.

Last evening ABOUT 1.oU O'CLOCK
Melvin G. Garlltz shot and instantly
killed his wife, Leah GarlitZ, on
Williams street. About four years
ago Melvin G. Garlitz married Miss
Leah White, daughter of Joseph
White. a well-known citizen of Cum
berland. now clerking in Samuel
SOnneborn's clothing store, and for.
merly engaged in the livery bust
ness. The fruit of this marriage was
one child, a little girl aged about
three years. Garlitz and his wife
did not live happily together. and a
great deal of the time since their
marriage he has spent away from
Cumberland. For several years past
there has been practical separation
and Garlitz has been denied access to
his daughter by Mr.. White, with
whom she and her child have been
living. Last week Garlitz returned
from Baltimore, where he is said to
have been engaged in various jobs,
and is reported to have made several
efforts to see his wife. He is stated
to have felt very bitterly toward her
and to have uttered certain threats.
Last night ABOUT 7 O'Clock, Mrs.
GarIitz. and younger sister. Miss
Myrtle, started from thei: home. cor.
ner of Maryland avenue and Spring
street. to buy some bread and to do
other errands. The two passed up
the avenue to Williams street and
down that to the store of Thomas
Morris. Myrtle entered this and
Mrs. GarIitz went on down Williams
street until a point nearly opposite
the bottling house OF M. J. MaIam-
ply, corner of Park and Williams
streets, where she was met by Mel.
vim and shot three times with a re-
volver, one ball entering the left
breast, one the right breast and one
the left side of the throat. Whether
any words passed between the man
and his wife Is unknown. for Mrs.
Garlitz died in three or four minutes
after the shooting, and Garlitz
was seen running off through the
commons in the rear of the Queen
City Hotel yard as soon as the shots
were fired.
The interval between the parting
of the sisters and the shooting was
very brief, for Miss Myrtle had
hardly gotten into the store and seen
about her purchases when the reports
were heard. She rushed to the spot,
distant 200 yards, and found her sister
lying dead on a wooden bridge over
a gully. in the rear of Malamphy's
place, and the suDposition is that she
had run over to that side after the
firing had begun. Five distinct re.
ports were heard. and it Is possible
that several of the first shots may
have missed. Any of the three tax.
ing effect would have been fatal.
Melvin G. Garlitz is about 80 years
of age. and is a son ofex.Sheriff Basil

Electric FlatirOns.

When the kerosene stove was invent
ed, bousekeepers rejoiced over The pros
pect Of something that would relieve
them of some Of the additional heat re-
qutred in cooking, washing and iron
ing during the hot days that Maine
had at that period. but if the WsterviIle
mans new electric experiments work
as anticipated, undesired heat will be
reduced to q minimum. In addition to
his recently invented electric oven Mr..
Willis Mitchell has perfected a fiatiron
for which wonderful effects are
claimed. A cord attached TO a circuit
and connected with the fsiiron. which
is thereby heated for use, all of the heat
going to the bottom of the fistiron when
it is needed. An iron heated in this
way is always ready for use, and, 1t is
said, can be run all day, or as long as
the current is turned Oh, without the
operator leaving the table when at
work. The amount of heat given to the
fiatiron can also be regulated as de-
sired

Simon Cameron's Tree.

Not many of even his most intimate
even SO much as an atom of the poetic
in his character. but Mr.. Edward
Clark, architect of the Capitol, gives
an incident of his career which proves
that he sometimes had thoughts for
other matters than political manage
mept. When Mr.. Clark, several years
ago. bad completed his drawings and
plans for the now nearly completed
marble terraces on the north, south and
west OF the Capitol grounds, it could
be easily seen that an even old elm tree
would blockade the entrance 20 the
approach, and must therefore be cut
down. Mr.. Cameron then a Senator
from Pennsylvania, was among the first
to make his discovery, and going at
once to Mr.. Clark, asked as a personal
favor that the tree should be spared
during his life time, Mr.. Clark finally
promised that it should not be removed.
There the o'd tree, the age OF which
Mr. Clark believes is about century.
has remained ever since. and there it
yet stands, its upper branches now and
for some years past dead, which fact
has increased the wonder of those not
aware of the facts why it has been left
undisturbed so long. Mr.. Clark says
he has not made any new order concern
ing the tree nor has he come to any de-
termination in regard to it.

The Women OF Jerusalem.

A correspondent to q New York pa.
per, thus describes the girls he saw in
Jerusalem "They have straight, we'll
rounded forms which they clothe in a
long linen dress of white, beautifully
embroidered in silk, so that a single
gown requires many months of work.
This dress is much like an American
woman's nightgown, without the frills
and laces. 1t falls from the neck to the
feet, aud is open at the front of the
neck in a narrow slit as far down as a
modest decolete fashionable dress. Over
this they have sleeveless closks of dark
red stripes, and their heads are covered
with long shawls of linen beautifully
embroidered. Just above her forehead,
each girl carries her dowry in the shape
of a wreath-like strip of silver coins,
which stand on end, fastened to a
string, and crown forehead with money.
Some of the girls have several rows of
these coins, AND some have cIowns of
gold.
Not few have coins OF silver and
gold the size of our twenty dollar pieces
hung TO strings about their necks, and
none Of the women hide thsir pretty
faces. as do those Mohometau girls near
by. who in shapeless white gowns with
fioxery white and red wells covering the
whole OF their faces look Ike girls
playing ghosts in white sheets. Be-
side these are Russian girls in the peas
ant costumes of modern Europe and
Hebrew maidens in gowns and sha wis.

The First Cannon.

The first cannon which came into use
after the discovery of the explosive pro.
perties Of gunrowder, during the four
teenth century, were called bombards.
They consisted Of iron bars bound to-
gether with hoops OF the same metal.
The first cannon balls fired from these
primitive weapons were round stones.
lt is a mistake 20 suppose that breech-
loading guns were not tried till recently.
They were made when cannon first
came into use, but were soon abandon.
ed because no one knew how to make
them strong enough. Among the early
cannon were Culverins, which were
made four times the lenth of a man, the
early artillerists having conceived the
idea that the longer the gun the fur
ther it would carry.

How TO Lace Your Shoes.

Not one person in a thousand lsces
bis shoes correctly. About the rearest
anybody gets to it is to lace as tightly
as possible. The correct way is to put
your foot when you are about to lace
your shoes as much as possible in the
heel OF the shoe. You can do this best
by lacing yocr shoes with the heel o. {
your shoe resting in chair standing in
front OF the one you are seated in.
Over the instep the lacing should be
drawn as tightly as possible. This will
hold your foot back in the shoe. giving
the toes freedom and preventing their
being crsmped. Lace about the ankle
10 suit your comfort.

How TO Have Good Servants.

Set them a good example. One
ounce of practice is worth pound of
precept.
Take time to teach them their duties
thoroughly, and to notice whether they
are we'll or i'll performed.
Abstain from fretfulness or anger at
neglect, ignorance, or inattention, Le:
your reproof be- mild, but firm in man
ner.
Never reIrove one servant before an
other sullenness will oftener be the
result of so doing than obedience,
DO not withhold commendation when
deserved.
Remove temptation, and act as II you
expected to find good principle.
Remember that the golden rule ap-
plies 10 them as we'll as your equals in
education. means, and position.

Marriage in AncIent Rome.

The woman of Rome in old days was
married at nightfall. She was dressed
in a white robe, a symbol of her virgin
purity, bound round her waist with a
sash her hair was plated into six
tresses, after those of the vestal virgins;
on her head she wore a fame-colored
veil and a fresh wreath OF the sacred
verbena, for the wife and priestess in
her family. Under the protection of
Tuna Domiducs 1.-THE home leader she
passed through the streets, accompan-
led by her friends, and lighted on her
way with torches. BY her side there
walked a young boy carrying an open
basket, in which lay a hank of wool, a
distaff and a spindle, for spinning was
the great nuty of the Roman matron of
the republic. To be a good spinner WAS
gem in her crown of virtues, by the
side Of chastity and frugality.

Points About Your Peppers:

Sit erect in your chair when reading,
and as erect as possible when writing.
If you bend downward you not only
gorge the eyes with blood but the brain
as well, and both suffer. The same
rule should apply to the use of The mis-
croscope. Get one.that will enable you
to look at things horizontally, not al
ways vertically.
Have q reading lamp for night use.
n. BIN reading the light should be
on the book or paper and the eyes In the
shade. II you have no reading lamp
turn your back to your light, and you
may read without danger to the eyes.
Hold the book at your focus IL that
begins to get far away, get spectscles.
Avoid reading by the pickering light
Of the fire.
Avoid straining the eyes by reading
In the cleaning.
Reading in bed Is injurious. as a rule.
1t must be admitted, however, that in
cases of sleeplessness. when the mind is
inclined to ramble over a thousand
thoughts a minute. reading steaGies the
thoughts and conduces to sleep.
Do not read much in a railway car
riage. 1 myself always do. however,
only in a good light, and / invariably
carry a good reading lamp to hook on
behind me. Thousands Of people would
trayel by night rather than by day if the
companies could only see their way to
the exclusive use of the electric light
Authors should have black ruled pa
per instead of blue, and should never
strain the eyes by reading too fine types.
The bedroom blinds should be red or
gray. and the head of of the bed should
be toward the window.
Those ladies who not only write. but
sew, should not attempt the black seam
by night.
When you come to an age that sug-
gests the wearing of spectacies. let no
false modesty prevent you from getting
q pair. If you only have one eye, an
an eye-glsss Will do otherwise il is
folly.
Go to the wisest and best optician you
know OF and state your wants and your
case plainly and be assured you will be
properly fitted.
Remember that bad spect acies are
most injurious to the eyes, and that
good and well chosen ones are de-
cided luxury. Get a pair for reading
with and IL necessary a long distance
pair for use out of doors.

Labrador Home Life in Winter.

If there be anything like a social or
home-life in Labrador, it exists exclu =
sively in the long, frozen night of the
winter Then the entire inhabitants
retire from the bowling coast to winter
quarters within ihe trifling shelter of
spruce forests and protecting river
crags, and from their burrows OF sod,
hu. and ice, sally forth in their sledges
or cometiques to "visit'' each other in
their storn-swept settlements for dis
tances of hundreds OF miles. These
trips are made over the glistening show
at the rate of sixty to 10e miles per day.
by the aid OF their gaunt and ferocious
dogs which are kept in submission by
that cruelesr and deadliest Of all driY-
sIs' scourges. the Esquimsux whip. Its
handle is not foot long, but the lash
is of often forty feet in length, and the
drivers are so skilled in is use that
piece can be struck out of a ''leader."
or guide" dogs ear at distance of
from thirty to forty feet. These dogs
fully loo of which I saw at Hopedale,
are simply q species of partly domestica>
ted wolves. They are fed on fish once
each day. In the summer they are
sources OF endless terror about the coast
settlements but life would be imposS
sible here without their use in winter
These visiting tours are marked by the
most prodigal hospitality and good
deal of rude pleasure, indeed all these
far-swsy humans in any manner secure.
is enjoyed. But Labradorisn life is an
endless round Of ;nane, sodden fruit
lessness st best. The sumner is passed
in a scourging effort for winters pro-
vision. Winter brings its struggles to
prevent death by cold and hunger.
These human animals seem born TO ex-
list, be robbed and TO die. One turns
from the slightest glimpse OF land and
people, heart-sick from irrevocability OF
the hopeiessness OF both. Labrador
can never be less than what Jsdues Car
tier truly termed it in 1884, "the land
given to Csin.''
