Vivid Writing.

A little descriptive piece entitled "Over
the Guns" from the Detroit Free Press, of
which we give u paragraph, reminds US
that great advertisers, like H. H. Warner
& Co., proprietors of Warmers celebrated
Safe Cure, might get hint from it.
Here is the paragraph:
sShoot to the right or left, over the guns
or under them. Strike where you willSbut
strike to destroy. Now the hell surges
down, even to the windows of the old farm
house-now back under the apple trees and
beyond them. Dead men are under the
ponderous wheels of the guns, mad devils are
slashing and shooting across the barrels.
No one seems to know friend from foe.
Shoot, slash, kill and
..But the hell is dissolved. The smoke is
lifting, shrieks and screams grow fainter,
and twenty or thirty living men pull the
dead bodies away from the guns. Three
hundred dead and wounded on the single
acre. They tell of war and glory. Look
over this hell's acre and find the latter"
And in just as deadly a strife, though
noiseless, are men falling at our right and
left to-day. Is 1T war; Yes, war Of the
blood. Blood loaded with poison through
imperfect kidney action. And is there no
power to stop this awful slaughter? Yes,
Warmers Safe Cure, a tried specific, a
panacea that has brought life and hope to
hundreds of thousands of dying men and
women.
Be enlisted therefore, in the great army
of living men and women who have been
rescued from disease and premature death,
and be eternally grateful that the means
of life can so easily be yours.

SUICIDE OR MURDER?

Mary Short. tho White Wife of a Color I'D
Waiter, Found with Her Throat Cut In
ChicagO-Her Husband Ar rested for the
Crime.
CHICAGO, March 2S.-Mrs Mary Short,
white woman, residing on the top floor
of building at No. IS Fourth avenue,
was found lying dead in her bedroom
last night with her throat cut from ear to
ear. 1t was at first believed that Mrs.
Short had taken her own life, but later
developments have caused the police to
think that her husband, John Short.
colored waiter, employed in a lunch-roo IN
under the Briggs House, may have MUIR
dered the woman.
The body was first discovered by Short,
who says that he returned home from
work about six O'Clock in the evening.
Later in the evening Detectives Smith and
Green, of Harrison Street station, were
told by friends of Mrs. Short that they
believed that the woman had been MUIR
dered by her husband. Working upon this
theory the officers soon found that the
Shorts had lived any thing but happy
life during the past few weeks. Mrs.
Short, who was aNorweg ian by birth, and
but twenty-seyen years Of age, had re-
Gently fallen heiress to some money
through the death of relative in the old
country. Ever since she was notified Of
her good fortune she had been DESTROYS of
returning to Norway to take possession Of
the property. This her husband objected
to her doing, fearing that if she left him
she would not return. On Tuesday even
ing the couple, it is said, quarreled
violently. Acting on these suspicious.
Short was arrested and locked up at the
Armory. He stoutly maintains his in.
nOcence.

HERRESHOFS TORPEDO BOAT.

This Formidable War Engine Expected to
be Ready for Her Trial Trip the Comm !.
May, and may Prove Great Wonder
as the VerSuvius.
BRISTOL, r. l., March 2S.-The work on
the new torpedo boat for the navy is fast
nearing completion, and the Herreshofs
expect to have it ready for trial during the
coming May. Its hull is all in place and
the turtle back shaped deck is finished
except the fitting of a few more steel
plates. The Government demands that
this vessel shall make twenty knots an
hour on the official trial. At the time
the contract was signed, the Herreshofs
estimated the boats speed for the trial
run at twenty three knots an hour. Naval
officers confidently believe that this new
torpedo boat will prove as great a
wonder as did the VeSuvius. The boat
is 1877 feet in length. has a beam
of fourteen feet, six inches, and
a depth Of hold of eight feet. Its
draught will be three feet seven inches.
As it will lie in the water it will present
only three feet of free board along its
whole hull, save at the forward part,
where the turtle back deck will have 4
rise of some five feet from the waters
edge. The chances are that the long, low
craft will go right through the seas like a
sword fish, without waiting to mount the
waves. She is to carry secondary bat
terry of two six-pounder, rapid fire guns,
presumably to be mounted somewhere on
her turtle back,

DEFENDED HIS TRUST.

The Southern Express Agent at Election,
Ala, Bravely Defends His Trust, killing
One Of Pair of Would-Be Robbers, at
the Same Time Being Badly Wounded
Himself.
BIRMINGHAM, Ala, March 29.-Bloocton,
small mining village on the Birming-
ham Mineral railroad, was the scene on
Wednesday night of most daring at
tempt at safe robbery. B. NJ. Huey, Jr.,
the Southern Express agent there, had
just received a package containing $1,000
to be used by the Cahoba Coal Mining
Company in paying off Monday next. 1t
being too late for delivery, Mr.. Huey de-
posted the money in his safe.
About ten O'Clock he was startled by q
voice behind him exclaiming 'Ho1d your
hands up." The expressman turned to
behold two men with blackened faces
presenting revolvers at him. Mr.. Huey
very quietly grabbed his revolver near by
and the shots from the robbers revolver
and his own were simultaneous. Huey
staggered back and the robbers fled. The
firing brought citizens of the village to
the depot. Not fifty yards from the depot
the dead body of one of the wOuldbe
robbers was found. He was large,
white man, roughly dressed, wearing two
coats, and there was nothing about his
person to establish his identity. Huey
will probably recover.
The man who was killed by Express
Agent Huey has been identified as John
Warren.

EAGLE PASS, Tex, March eS.-Colonel
Holiday, a miner of many years expert
ence. has just returned from an extensive
exploration of the Pecos country. He
was awarded by finding a large deposit
of tin ore in the mountains north OF
Langley. He brings back q large numb er
of specimens and has tested some of
them thoroughly. The ore was found in
a ledge cropping out OF the surface, and
is in sufficient quantity to pay to work it.
The Government offers standing reward
of $4,000 for the discovery of tin in the
United States, and Colonel Holiday will
apply for this at once. II the tin exists,
this will constitute the only tin mine in
the United States.

MILITARY JEALOUSIES.

Army Officers Somewhat Perturbed Over
General Schofieid's appointment of His
Brother as Aide-de- Camp.
WASHINGTON, March 29.-The Star
says: Army officers who are not SO
lucky as to have held staff appointments
have taken alarm at the action of
Major General Schofield in appoint
ing his brother an aide de-camp on
his staff. 1t was Secretary Endicott's
policy to distribute these places,
which he regarded as educational, among
officers who had previously been en-
ployed in connection with their regi-
ments. When their appointments as staff
officers expired, he held that they had &C.
quired all of the benefits likely to be re-
ceived from tho places, and that they
should give way to other officers. Secre-
tary Endicott's position in this mat
ter gave rise to some friction with
army officers high in rank, but
was generally we'll received by the
line. In the present instance the aide
de-camp has already served a number of
years in that capacity, and it is feared
that his disappointment will establish a
precedent which will be seized Upon by
the other Major-Generals as an excuse
for overturning the practice established
by Secretary Endicott.

The "Nobby Heiress."

She made her first appearance in So
clety last summer in the most exclusive
of American watering places. 1t was
rumored that her wealth was reckoned
by millions. She occupied with her
mother a palace which had been built
for a Russian prince. She herself was
in the first bloom of youth and posses
sed of a beautiful face and figure.
She appeared, richly dressed, at a
ball, and was soon surrounded by a
well-bred but curious crowd. For an
hour she replied to all remarks only
by smile and monosyllables. But at
last she spoke:
That's the mobbiest fellow I've seen
here!'
She is known now as the "nobby
heiress." She never has been able to
understand why her social career came
to so sudden Il close.
The Companion does not indulge in
social gossip. But this true incident
will serve to point lesson to the tens
of thousands of girls who are just en-
tering the world hoping to find friends,
approval and love as women.
No beauty, no wealth, no influence
will atone for vulgarity and ignorance
in language and manners. The beauty
will disappear as the years go by; the
wealth often follows it; but the charm
of breeding, of fine manner, re-
mains with a woman as long as does
her breath.
Nor is this rare gift so difficult to
acquire. Begin now, while you are at
school. Cleanse your mind of vulgar
ideas and your language of slang. Then
forget yourself. Pleasant words will
come uncalled if the feelings of your
heart are gentle, simple and sincere.
He gentil is says Chaucer. ..who
doeth gentil dedis. Youths Com

The Widow of Stonewall jackson Offere
the Post-OHice ut Lexington. Va.-She IS
Compelled to Decline.
BALTIMORE, Nd, March 30.-The Amer
leans special from Richmand, Va, says:
Recently the assurance was conveyed to
the widow of Stonewall Jackson, at the
request of the President and Postmaster
General that they desired her to accept
the appointment as postmistress of Lex
ington, Va. Mrs. Jackson has not been
resident of Lexington for many years,
and now lives in Randolph County. Her
reply to the letter that informed her that
she had only to signify her willing
Gess to accept to receive the app
pointment, was that, while sensi-
BILE of the kindness which prompted
the move, she must positively decline.
She stated that her father was ninety-on
years old and needed her; that Lexington
did not suit her health, though she dearly
loved it's people, and that she did not pos
sess the requisite qualifications for the
office. 1t was represented that in this
movement President Harrison and Post
master-General Wanamaker desired to
express their high appreciation of the
noble wife of a great Confederate general,
and in so doing give evidence of their
fraternal feeling for the Confederate SOL
dierS.

COSTLY INCEND.ARiSM.

The Central Storage aCompany's Hugo
Building, in Chicago Entirely Destroy ed
by Fire-The FLAMES Fed by Million
and n Half Dollars Worth of Contents
Besides Outside Prey Ircendiarism
Charged.
CHICAGO. March 26.-The Central Stor-
age COmpany's huge six-story and base
inent structure, on the north bank of the
river at Rush street, was discovered to be
on fire about four O'Clock this morning.
The blaze originated in the engine room
IN the basement, and, by the time the first
engine had arrived, had obtained such a
hold that a second alarm was turned
in. In a very brief space the fire
had burned through the building
and dock to the waters edge, the
blaze finding ready food in the piles
of furniture and other infiammable ma
terial with which the great building was
filed. The fire. boat Geyser played on
the structure from the south and two
dozen engines from the east, north and
west. The flames ran down to the wa
ter's edge, igniting the schooner Wau-
kesha. This was quickly extinguished.
Soon the flames burst from the windows
of the great structure and rolled up in
huge volumes, Illuminating the entire
North Side. The Galena elevator, but a
short distance to the west, was ablaze
"A fourth and then q general alarm was
sounded, and the entire department sur
rounded the furnace-liEe building, which
was soon Quilted. There was stored in it
d million and half dollars'worth of teas
and coffees. The principal owners were:
4Eppin, Smith 6 Wyman, of New York;
VI. 2. Room & Co., New York;

WIN. F. Piel & Co., indianapolis; the
Union aud First National banks, Chicago.
The building. worth $4,000, was owned by
the Arthur Bronson estate, of New York,
and was insured for $4,000.
At about 80 the flames flew across the
streets and set fire to buildings block
away. These small side blaZes were with
difficulty stopped, as stiff breeze had
sprung up. Several f1remen were over
come by the fierce heat on Rush street,
and were carried away back on the bridge
while their places We're filled by others.
Towering flames swept down and licked
the buildings across Kinzie street re-
peatedly Goods were removed from
houses for near a block away, and the
streets were filled with the frightened
people.
When it was apparent that nothing could
be done to save the warehouse, the fire.
men bent their best efforts toward the
protection OF the Galepa elevator, and at
five o'clocl, this morning, while the Gen.
trail was still blazing furiOusly and was, in
fact, completely wrecked, the firemen
were satisfied that the Galena was out OF
danger.
Alderman Manierre, the proprietor Of
the warehouse, says the contents were
covered by insurance. 1.-THE origin of the
fire." said the alderman, sis incendlary.
