AN Enterprising Reporter.

The enterprise OF reporters Is pro-
verbal. But Mr.. Halford, the presi-
dent-elect's private secretary, when he
was reporter, was one Of the most en-
terprising of his class, II the following
story is true:
Being assigned TO report hanging,
he determined to find out, II possible,
whether consciousness deserted the
victim at the moment the drop fell, or
not In conversation with the con-
demned man, he said:
"My friend, have you any objection
to help settle scientific question:
There has been good deal OF talk in
the newspapers lately as to whether a
man who is hung has any consciousness
or feeling after the drop falls. Now,
II you choose, you can settle this ques-
ton"
"How?" asked the surprised man.
"Well," said Halford, suppose you
have consciousness after the drop falls.
II you will just wiggle the little rnger
OF the right hand, that will be signal
to me. will know you are conscious
as long as the finger keeps wiggling.
Win you do it?"
The man was not easily persuaded,
but Halford's eloquence finally over
came him.

KILLED FOR 5000.
Mrs. Walters, near BOZeman, NJ. T..
Murdered and Mutilated.

Mrs. Walters, who lived on rancho
near Bohemian, M. L. was found dead
in her bed, with her throat cut from
ear to ear, and her body horribly mu-
tilated with razor. 1t was first thought
that 1t was case of suicide, but the
theory was not sustained by the facts.
Her husband and eldest son were ar
rested charged with the crime.
The witnesses say that blood was on
the doors and clothing, and the lower
rooms indicated that the woman was
murdered and taken up stairs. Phys
icians say the cuts were made on her
body after death, tho murderer at first
intended TO cut up the romans. The
crime was committed TO get possession
OF 5000 that the old lady had in the
house. People are very much excited
over the matter. Mayor Boget has
telegraphcd to the governor requesting

A Dissatisfied Man.

Never give away TO discomfort, no
matter what your status In life may be.
Not surer or more certain does oxygen
eat away iron than will discomfort
weaken the mental and physical forces,
often causing premature death.
Be cheerful always. II In misery and
pain remember that It is long lane
that has no turning, and that when you
do get to that turn you will be out Of
your trouble.
When the car OF time is carrying you
along smoothly over the road OF life,
don't borrow trouble. IL don't pay the
interest on the Investment. On the
contrary, the interest you pay is ak
orbiant, and may consume you before
you can take up your note.
II Is astonishing how much fat an
even, sunny tempered man will put on
his skeleton In the course OF "a life
time.
A discontinued man is Stunned by
all, while contented one becomes a
magnet OF attraction, around which
everything that has life in 1t gathers,
just for the fun OF hearing him laugh
and borrow little OF his sunshine.
A discontinued man never makes a
hearty meal. 1t isn't In him. He
would rather be plagued with the dys-
pepsia any day than say grace over a
fat turkey, while your jovial friend will
tackel with joy dinner OF herbs.
Whatever you are called on TO do, do
1t cheerfully. Take the world easy; so
shall you go down to your tomb with a
streak OF sunshine on your composition,
and not before you have lived half
your days, as Is the case with the
chronic grumbler. Texas Siftings.

A FATHERS CRIME.
He Plans With His Mistress 20 XIII
His Nine Children--TwoD cnd.

A terrible crime has just come TO
light near Sterling, Ky, on Spruce
creek, in which father joins with his
mistress and her brothers and poisons
his nine children, from three TO nine
teen years Of age. Two Of them died.
Jim Holden and his sister, bad
character, went TO the house OF Frank
Conkwright, the woman arriving early
and Jim about IL O'Clock. The woman,
Susan Holden, was living in adultery
with Conkwright, and because the
children protested, they had been
severely chastised and often driven
from home. When Jim Holden arrived
at the house he went TO bed with Conk-
wright's 9-year-old daughter, who was
taken sick and died with commissions
that afternoon. Tho 3-year.old child
drank water and died, and when DR..
School arrived Friday he found all the
children except the Oldest very sick
with unmistakable evidences Of having
been poisoned. The father, who has
been widower for three years, Susan
Holden and her brother Jim are now
in jail and Bill Holden has made his
escape. In the section where the
crime was committed excitement runs
high and could hands be laid on these
fiendish brutes the State wonld be re-
licyed OF further costs.

AFFAIRS IN CHINA
Detailed Advicos OF the Recent Rio,
At Chin-Kiang.

Tho steamship Belgic, which arrived
at San Francisco from Hong Kong and
Yokohoma, brings the first detailed
account OF the recent anti-European
riot, Chin-Kiang. Chin-Kiang is in ruins
The trouble began, IL is asserted, in a
street row, in which Chinaman was
knocked down by policeman. This
excited the mob. and the first act was
to destroy the police station. Then
they made for the British consulate,
where the Chinese inspector, who has
been seen since, is believed TO have
taken refuse. On tho way they fired
three foreign houses. Tho Chinese
General in command sent three hum
dred mon TO protect the consulate. As
soon as the mob appeared the soldiers
capitulated. Some fed, and tho rest
joined the mob Tho Consurs wife
fled barefoot with her children from
tho back door OF the consulate, while
the mob, aided by the soldiers, sacked
and burned everything Tho mis-
sionaries' houses and chapel shared
the same fate. while the British Consul
himself was twice in danger OF death.
The American consulate was looted
and more houses burned. Tho refugees
took refuge on the hulks and the mob
followed them, but the connecting
bridge was raised. Vice Roy tele-
graphcd the British Consul that he
was sending two thousand soldiers ia
restore order Whom General Ken
nedy reached Chin-Kiang he had tho
American flag raised at the United
States consulate. The British ship
Mutiney arrived and fired salute TO
the British flag. Within five minutes
after firing the first gun tho Chinese in
the settlement had fed in all directions
The United States steamer Omaha has
been recalled from Corca and has gone

Can Geese Reckon?

About thirty years ago the small
town In which reside was skirted by
an open common, upon which number
OF geese were kept by the cottagers.
Our corn market ut that time was held
In the street in front Of the principal
inn, and on the market day n good deal
OF corn was scattered from sample bags
by the millers. Somehow the geese
found out about the splitting OF corn,
aud they appear 10 have held CONSUL
tation upon the subject From this
time they never missed their opportu-
nifty, and the entry OF the geese was
always looked for. On the morning
after the market early, and always on
the proper morning, fortnightly, in
they came, caclSling and gobhling In a
merry mood, and they never came on
the wrong day, The corn, OF course,
was the attractions; but In what manner
did they mark the timer Ono might
have supposed that their perceptions
were awakened on the market day by
the smell OF corn. IL happened one
year that day OF national humiliation
was kept, and the day appointed was
thar on which our market should have
been held. The market was postponed,
and the geese, for once, were balled.
There was no corn to tickle their OIL
factory organs from afar, no traffic to
appeal to their sense Of hearing, Tho
geese should have stopped away; but
they knew their day, and came as
usual. do not pretend TO know under
what precise circumstances the habit
OF coming into the street was acquired.
II may have been formed by degrees,
and continued from year 10 year; but
how the old birds, who must have led
the way marked the time so M TO come
IN regularly and fortnightly, on par-
ticular day of the week, am at n loss
TO conceive.

Marvellous.

It is wonderful the demand for the new
case Estey organs. The new Estey is so
well known and their goods in such general
use that the makers themselves are surprised
at the way they are selling. Colonel Estey,
when here few days ago, said their facto-
ries were taxed to their utmost. Much might
be said of them: Elegant cases, tasteful, sub
stantial, well built, unique, the reeds made
of silver brass of secret mixture found only
in the Estey organs; of the bellows with best
paneled stock, Bessemer steel springs, extra
coated rubber cloth, stop action perfect in
its workings, with metallic parts covered
with copper to prevent rusting and soiling.
We might speak of many other things inter-
esting and truthful connected with the
manufacture of Estey organs, but proofs of
this kind are not needed to establish the
fact that the Estey organ leads the world.
s. Hamilton's, 81 and SO Fifth avenue, is
the only place in the city where the cele-
brated Decker Bros, Knabe & Fischer pi-
amos and the great Estey organs can be pro-
cured. Story & Clark, Clough & Warren
and Sterling organs in great variety. Call
in and see and hear them before you pur-
chase. Every instrument warranted. Low
prices and easy terms.
