in Putnam County, Tennessee.
NASHVILLE. Tenn, March s. - The
sur rene court Thursday imposed SEN

Pu nam county, for the murder of Miss
OvA Davis, young and beautiful girl,
daughter of Capt. William g. Davis, OF
the same county. The execution Is

Green's Crime.
rlhe history of the crime contains ele-
m, nts which go to make upasensational
affair.
John Whitley Green. Thomas C. Cam
ernn and James Parks, all young men
res iding in the neighborhood of Capt.
DE- Wis residence, were paying attention
to Miss Davis, and, as was afTerward
br ought out, she and young Parks were
SO IN to be married. Green's attentions
wore received with indifference, where
uIon he became frenzied by jealousy,
az d determined to kill the young lady.
o.. the 18th of June, 1887, Green went
to Capt. Davis home with the intention,
it is supposed, of killing Miss Davis.
Capt. Davis and his wife were absent
fir pm home that day.
Green found Miss Davis, OF his arrival
there, engaged in ironing clothes in the
hallway, whereupon he shot her down
and then attempted to take his own life
b. shooting himself three times in the
buck of the head. The bullet struck Miss
Davis on the side of the head and passed
through the skull Green made confess
sion, in which he said he and Miss Davis
had been engaged to marry, and had
n ade an agreement that If either broke
tile engagement the one breaking it
Should be shot by the other. He said he
h I'd heard that she would be married to
stme one else on certain Sunday.
After hearing this, he said, he met her
III the road and she asked why he had
.ased to come to see her. A few days
ter this Green said he called upon Miss
avis and it was agreed that both should
die; that he tied handkerchief over his
yes and told her to shoot him. She
would not do il; and he then tied a
handkerchief over her eyes, but could
not shoot her. He said that after this
| he made up his mind to kill her al
church, as well as to shoot Parks and
| Cameron.
On the day of the killing he heard
that Capt. and Mrs. Davis were not al
ONE, and he went at once to their house
md told Miss Davis that he had come tC
kill her She fell on her knees, begar
crying and threw up her hands. 1t was
then that he shot her. She fell and he
examined the wound in her head, after
which he placed the pistol to the back o.
| lis own head and fired twice. The sec
tnd shot knocked him down. He ther
snapped the pistol several times, aftel
which he reloaded it and shot himself il
the same place.

The poll-tax bill has been passed,
and already talk has arisen that the
courts will have to pass upon the
legality of the measure. 1t is con-
tended that only by wide stretch OF
the subjects embraced in the call for
the extra session can the law in the
form in which it is enacted be con-
sidered to be included. If this con-
tention does arise it will be a mis-
fortune, because this section of the
constitution should be enforced, and
there ought to be no question of the
legality of the act passed for this pur-
pose, says the Nashville Herald.

The difference between president

The difference between president
of the United States and an automa-
ton, the tool of his party bosses, is
well illustrated in comparison OF
the veto power as exercised by
ex-President Cleveland and the gen
tleman who wears his grandpapa's
hat the first year of their occupancy
of the presidential chair. During
the first year Of President Cleve-
lands administration he vetoed ll5
bills. The first year of President
Harrison's administration passed
without single exercise Of the veto
mower.

Sickness Among Children.

Its cause is undoubtedly to be found
in the way they sre~fed, and the neglect
OF their medical treatment. Many moth
ers are strong in their belief OF the good
state Of health ei their little ones, and
1t is only when sickness in mild or
strong form comes upon them that the
mother fully realizes the mistake OF her
over-conidence, and thus unwilling ly
brings painful suffering to her childald
uneasiness and trouble to her own heart.

WELL-TRAINED LIONS.

Allowed to Roam Around in n Circus
Arena During Performance.
Darling, tall, handsome fellow, ac-
companied by a splendid mastiff, now
steps in the arena. He cracks his whip,
a few revolver shots are fired and in
they rushed straight from the stable
Leo, Tom, Pasha and Sultan-four mag
nifcent samples of African kings of the
desert. AS soon as they catch sight OF
their master they are as quiet as lambs.
One of them stands on his hind legs,
places his fore paws on Darling's Shout
ders and ticks his face. They then squat
on a couple of benches, each awaiting
the signal to go through his performance.
After a few preliminary exercises a
number of stands or pedestals were
placed close together, and the five ami
mails executed series oftableduD Grants
with striking effect. On being sent back
to their places three of the lions obeyed
the injunction, but the second of the
group remained where he was. AS
neither coaxing nor entreaties awaited,
Darling simply threw his protege over
his shoulder and carried him to his
place.
A swing plank was introduced, on
which the merry performers disported
themselves for while. Sitting upright
On their stands they had afterward to
hold out flags spread out from one to the
other, over which the mastif jumped in
mighty leaps. When at last, to all ap-
pearance, tired with their labors, they
all lay down together. Darling grace
fully reclined on the soft couch and
Nero, the dog, skipped around, barking
merrily at the charming picture of still
life. After short repoSe Tom mounts
a tricycle. without assistance and sets it
going with his fore paws. Leo assists
his comrade by pushing behind, and of
they start all around the ring. Mean
while Darling puts the harness on the
other pair, using silk ribbons for brides.
He mounts his chariot, Rourishing his
whip and at furious gallop they dash
round the arena, The door is suddenly
opened, and the performance is at an

that any sin, however garishly array
ed or socially dignified, is in itself re-
spectacle, but that some sins are so
countenanced by certain classes that
they are held to be respectable. Mrs.
Browning spoke truly when, with
epigramatic force,s she said, "The dew
il is most devilish when respectable"
because he is then most dangerous.
His seeming responsibility throws
unwary souls off their guard, and be-
guiles them by begetting the thought
that their objections to certain profit
able or delightful courses of conduct
are based, not on Scripture nationally
interpreted, but on squeamish or
morbid consciousness. Hence, for
example, when young men see social
hOnors paid to rich fnanciers whose
overlooking Golfers were filled by
means of transactions which invol-
we'd lying, deception, and speculative
trickery, they are disposed to think
such dishonest practices are not SO
bad as they are taught to believe. So,
when members of Churches indulge
in some questionable, or perhaps
even ungodly, practices, they throw
the cloak of their responsibility over
deeds which are in themselves inju-
rious both to the moral and spiritual
life. Thus they enable the devil to
do his most devilish work of Turing
young and feeble souls into the pit Of
destruction. How needful, then, is
the precaution, "Beware of respecta'
