killing at Granite.


Intense excitement prevails among the
Chinese in Granite over the shooting OF
Tom Poe last night by Deputy Opp who,
supposing there was some opium smokers
concealed in Kim Lees store, went to
investigate, when the Cinnamon excluded
him at the points of butcher knives, etc.
He then secured the assistance of two
deputies and returned to the store. The
almond eyed denizens were ready for
battle and charged upon the officers at
first sight. Opp shot and instantly killed
Tom Poe, and Kim Lee received bullet
in the hip, and his brother AL. was
wounded in the leg. An inquest will be
held to-day over the dead. The China
men say that they we're in bed when the
men came to their store and tried to rob
them. A trial will be had and more
trouble is anticipated.

called toa little Lcgro boy who was

outbursts by munching a glowing

burning sensation in his mouth and

that the pepper was the cause of his
trouble, and that he was continually

The narrator, noticing his trouble
and its cause, stepped forward and
snatched the pepper from his hands
and threw il into the street, where.
upon the black urchin set up a most
yOciferous howl and dashed after his
treasure, while a burly negrcss rushed
out Of a doorway, evidently thinking
her child had been abused. The well
meaning pedestrian did not linger TO
explain. AS he departed he caught q
glimpse Of the ebonized gamin again
IN possession Of the pepper and yelling
and munching as before. Adapting a

THE HARMONY OF HOME.

happy what a pleasant world It would
be, and there is no reason why happi-
ness should not reign everywhere if
people would only make wisdom, and
not stupidity. the guide of their lives.

that many are able 10 exercise patience

With them everything is done for the
benefit Of society at large and at the
expense of their own circle. In other

Lady Dufrerin,. connemara Cloak.

The papers have been talking about
who brought the first Connemara
cloak into fashion and it is like the
tailless evening coat, credited 10 every
social parsonage of any importance.
The ~taillcss coat. by the bye, is credit
ed to the dude, while the cloak is
credited TO the bud. The truth about
it is that it had its birth in the smart
world through Lady Dufierin. Her
ladyship had been TO Ireland and was
there presented with a very fine piece
Of Irish frieze. She took il 10 London
with her and asked her tailor if he
couldn't make her a long wrap out Of
it-something out Of the common and
which would be stamped as decidedly
individual. With quick wit he sug-
gested Just such a cloak as the Irish
peasant wears, and so il had its birth,
Lady Dutferin had a number made
and soon all London was wearing
them because they were SO useful and
could be so easily assumed. However,
/ do not think her ladyship expected
them 10 be worn as street wraps, o
did she foresee that, caught in the
March wind, they made the slender
woman look like a balloon and the
stout woman like the whole earth, not
with a fence, but a cloak about it,

Stonington fishermen are continu-

ton. 1t was blue all over, dark on
the back, and shading by impercep;ible
degrees into a light though vivid hue
at the end of the claws, as delicate as
the pink that etches the inner curveo Of
some tropical sea shells.
Old fish dealers Of Stouington said
that no such beast was ever taken from
Connecticut waters before; but they
were mistaken. Two blue Holsters
were Gagged in Fishers Island sound
last summer by loSstermeu Wheeler

sters are exceedingly rare. Not "A dozen
of them have been taken, it is believed,
in the history of the fishing industry
Of this country; all that have been
caught have been chicken" Holsters.
Science is unable to account for the
hue unless il is due TO melancholy.
At about the time that Williams cap
tured the blue lobster, Capt. Samuels
Staplins, Of Stonington, picked up a
round clam on the shore, and he ex.
tracted from its belly a neat little
pearl, for which Tiffany 4 Co. OF New
York offered him $25. Every idle
nan in Stonington is now walking

clans and cracking them. One day
last summer a Stonington fisherman
found a pearl in a clam, and got $50

precious stones. and a few days after
