hereditary attachment 10 their religion.
In the counscls We have given from time

moved, not only by the consideration OF
what is coniormablc 60 the truth,
but also by the great desire to
advance all your interests. Our
affection for you does not suffer MS to allow
the cause for which Ireland il struggling

anything which could fairly I've brought in
reproach against il. In order TO specially
manifest our affection we send you mum.

CAPT. PAT HAMILT|
MURDERED AT HIS HOMIE IN ABns,
DEEM, MISS.
A Thievish Assassin Kills Him With a
Spike Hammer-A Negro Arrested
at West Point Charged With the
Crime.

Special Dispatch to The Appeal
ABERDEEN, Miss, Jan. Lone OF the
ioules! and most rocioas murders ever
in Mississippi was enacted in
this city last night, and was not discovered
until about . O'Clock this morning. Capt
Pat Hamilton, Jr., member OF the firm Of
p. Paine & Co., dealers in shoes, was muir.
dered by unknown parties about 8 o'clock
last night at his front gate, and within
200 feet OF his door. The instrument with
which the awful crime was perpetrated
was railroad smke-hammer or maui. 1t
was thrown into vacant lot adjoining,
where it was found covered with blood.
Captain Hamiton's skull was broken in
several places by Hicks dealt from behind.
and death must have been instantaneous.
Captain Hamilton was son-in-law Of the
late Bishop Paine, and was one Of our
best citizens lie enjoyed the confidence
Of all classes. The object Of the murder
was robbery, for Captain Hamilton had
no enemies. He had drawn some money
with which to send one OF his SONS to the
State University at Oxford, on the
Mobile 4 Ohio railroad this morning at
$50 o'clock. His purse and watch were
both gone. The hammer with which the,
crime was committed belonged TO and was(
stolen from the tool chest OF the Mobile
& Ohio road. Aberdeen is stirred to the
bottom, and every effort is being made by
officers and citizens to find the foul assas-
sins. There are several theories and a
clew that promises success 10 the finding
OF and death 10 the criminals.

From another source The APPEAL learns
that there were circumstances surrounding
Capt. Hamilton's death that can only add
TO the poignant grief Of the stricken fam
lily. II appears that his body was not dis
covered until o'clock Of the morning
after his death. Then the son remembered
with horror that on the night previous as
lac approached the gate he stumbled across
something in. the dark, but paid no atten-
ton TO it, thinking ii was q log. lie is
now convinced that il was the body OF his

There is possible chance that the muir
derer may be in custody. A colored man

A Daily Struerle AGAINST Fat.

Lillian Russell is the victim of her
own beauty, says the New York World,
and the dread of getting fat keeps her
as miserable as the humblest chorus
girl in the Casino company. She can't
eat any sort oil sweetmeats, cake or pas
try. Every vegetable is denied her
that grows under ground; no wine is
allowed to pass her lips: meat is limit
ed to one meal q day. and between the
foods that she dare not eat and does
not care to eat her bill of fare is CON
fined to bread and butter, lemons and
lettuce.
Every day she is compelled to walk
ten miles, and in this hot weather the
exercise is far from agreeable. She
dresses in blue flannel, wears cork
colored shoes, a straw hat with n moist
sponge basted in the crown and car
ries a double-lined umbrella. As the
object of this exercise il to keen her
flesh down, she never fails to weigh
herself before starting out, SO that she
knows exactly what reduction is neces-
sary. A part of her outfit consists of
long strips of white flannel which are
coiled about her body spirallv and laid
double where the flesh is too abundant.
In this snug WOODEN suit the only Lii
liam walks until she is u rich rose color
and dripping with p%erspiration, when
she is rubbed down with alcohol, re-
freshed with cold bullion and put to
bed. On her toilet as much care and
money are spent as if she We're u prin-
cess. Every day she receives the visits
OF a hair-drcsscr, manicure and pedi-
cure and a bathing mistress prepares
her vapor baths.
