ing. Ii is the coat OF arms OF the
province OF Ulster, Ireland, which de-
rived It from the crest OF the ONeils,
who were once the royal family OF that
kingdom. The whole Is based upon
tradition which the crew of the Dun
more Head take pleasure In relating.
Two sons OF the king Of Ulster were for
aging IN Scotland when the death of their
father was heard of. The two agreed to
row across the channel In their primitive
canoes, aud the first to touch land was

When nearing the shore one OF the broth

drew his sword. and placing his left hand
on the gunwale of his boat, chopped IL

king, and tho bloody hand be-

Series Of Grimes.

CHIPPEWA FALLS, Wis, Dec. l6.--The
village OF Cadott. ten miles east OF here,
Is terribly excited over what Is no doubt
a murder and suicide. Early Sunday
morning, Peter ST. George, Of that town,
gave the alarm that his wife was miss
ing; that she had disappeared during the
night, and that he feared something had
befallen her. Search was instituted, and
the missing woman found dead In the
woodshed, hanging by the neck. Con-
tnslons and wounds about the woman's
face and head indicated foul play and
the husband was at once sus-
pected. Some OF the neighbOrs
even went so far as 20 accuse him OF the
Infamous crime. Officers watched st.
George during the whole day and as hour
by hour went by they became more con
vinced that he was the murderer, but
deslsted from arresting him until the
verdict of the eoroner's jury was obtained
ON the body OF Mrs. 81. George. This
was reached at about o'clock, and was
claimed that the death OF Mrs. ST..
George was foul murder by unknown
hands. The officers forced their way

Midsummer by the Sea.

Ever attractive, and particularly at
this season of the year, is the sea-
shore, with its cool breezes and invig-
Grating surf bathing, and nowhere on
the Atlantic Coast can one better en-
joy himself than at Atlantic City, the
Brighton of America.
Where shall spend my vacation
this summer is somewhat Of prob
lem with most people, and this little
item may help them solveit with graf
flying results TO themselves.
The expense Of most trips of any
length is an important factor in the
discussion, which in this case is re-
duced to q minimum. Board and
hotel accommodations can be had at
Atlantic City at all prices, and by
consulting the taLle of r. X. fares
shown below it will be found that Il
trip TO this great watering resort can
be made at less expense than to any
other resort within the same distance,
to say nothing of the attractions to
be found there.
The second excursion of the season
is announced by the Baltimore and
Ohio r. X. for Thursday, July 18th.
