and the following details Of tho crime
which clear up some ~ its mysteries

HAYES states in n confession that he did
not contemplate tho murders until tho
Friday night before they were COM
mittcd. 1t was then his wife re-
fused to leave the city ~ she had
promised " do. and tho plan OF
putting her out Ut the way for
good was quickly decided upon. III.
tectivcs have been hunting In vain for
the conveyance Hawos VAS supposed d
have usNd 10 remove her body "a tho
lake and his confession clears up that
part Of the mystery. His wife and child
were induced TO drink some liquor until
both were intoxicated and then under
some pretcxt they were taken TO tho
lake and murdered on the banks and
thrown In. They were not killed
1t the house. "A has always been

without bctrayine each others secret.
Tho confession admits that Fanny Rry.
ant told the truth In her testimony that
Halves took little May from her house

another plan had to hc adopted IA get

sion HAYES wrote that he fully de-
served the fate In store for him and ho
wanted no one ,o die for his crime.

Chicago in the Silurian Age.

We are now ready, through data
furnished by our rocks. to picture to
ourselves Chicago in the Silurau age
In Silurian times Chicago lay at the
bottom of salt, warm and shallow
sen. 70 the north lay land area of
unknown extent, the oldest of our con-
tinent. if not in the world. We will
call it Laurentia. To the east, border
ing what is now our Atlantic coast,
lay another strip of land we will call
Appalachia; to the west, bordering the
Pacific, lay still another we will name
California. These lands furnish thus
early, by their position and arrange
ment. the first rough sketch of North
America. 1t is more than probable
that along their shores stretched the
primordial beaches, wherein the low
est. simplest, earliest forms of life
appeared. But the lands themselves
were without life. Rain and streams
cut down their bald rocky surfaces,
ocean waves ate into their coast lines.
the air above conveyed clouds and
transmitted sunlight; yet aside from
these there was no sign of movement.
But these lands were distant; they do
not concern us most. Let us fix our
thoughts on this particular spot.
The point is indicated by long white
lines of surf, thrown into spray as it
encounters the submerged reefs. There
were teeming populations then as now,
but they moved in water aud not in
air. There was consciousness, there
was great activity, there must have
been enjoyment, since without it life
cannot be keenly active. There must
have been also pain, for life was over
abundant. There was a struggle to
elude, struggle to capture. There
were eyes for seeing, teeth for tearing,
claws for grasping. tentacles for feel
ing, singing. or paralyzing.
There was color, from the iridescent
pearly lining of sea shells to the gorg-
eous banks of coral flower beds. There
were waving meadows of sea plants,
fairy groves of sponges, amid which
each lived according to his kind. But
in this eXuberant existence there was
no voice; all animate nature was mute.
There was no sound save from the
dashing surf; ears. such as they were,
gave heed to vibrations only. Yet
these were the possessors Of the earth.
For them at that time "all things were
made that were made" Nor is this
all. They possessed Il form of life as
unique as were their physical condi-
tons. The word and its inhabitants
were suited to each other.-Eiien u.

"Uncle RemuS."

Joel Chandler Hrrris. "Uncle Re-
mus" is Il short, heavy-set, but alto
gether a little man, and every morn
ing may be seen at work amid a
sea of exchanges and piles of copy at
a table just inside the door of the gen
eral editoria!-room of the Atlanta Com
stitutioH. About 4 o'clock in the after
noon the young men of the staff begin
to gravitate toward the little mans ia
bic and the lightnings of wit begin to
play. Grady is not now as he was
of old days, in that company, but there
are few newspaper offices which can
match in briliancy the group that
gathers around Harris desk. In that
company is w. p. Reed, whose first
story, "A Blot on the Brain, ;" in length
scarcely a column. is one of the most
wonderful tales in the language. Har-
ris looks upon his associate rs Sec
ond Poe. This is Mr.. Reeds theory of
a good story: A vivid plot, strong
coloring, plenty of action, Il striking
denouemcnt. His tales are as widely
printed as those IF any living Ameri-
can; he knows how to make them just
the right length. Mr.. Reed is 80,
handsome. and courtly-a southern lit
erarE gentleman
