HER HUSBAND FoRGAvE.
Nettie Eldridge Will Try to Be
come an E0uast Noy,1au


How women fall was we'll illustrated
by the case of Nettie Eldridge. who was
confined in the county jail for some
weeks and finally released, no indict-
ment having been found against her by
the grand jury. She had been arrested
for stealing sealskin sacque. She was
married woman, but Eldridge was not
her real name. Her husband had been
telegraph operator, but had been UNI
fortunate. He was a poor man. His
life had been one of disbursement
and trouble. but he had heart, and one
corner OF it was still filled by the woman
who stood charged with a crime. He
would not visit her at the jail. but he
secured an attorney for her. telling her
that, could she clear herself, he would
take her back to his home. The poor
woman's story went to the grand jury,
it was believed, and she is again lead
ing an honest life. Her tale of mis-
fortune illustrates the SmoothneSS of
the ownWard road, although it does
not free her from blame. Her husband
was much away from home. In some
unexplained way she became acqualnt-
ed with women of questionable repute.
Through them she met others who were
worse. With some of these one night
she was engaged in debaueh and be-
came intoxicated. A saloon bartender
offered to take her and a companion
home. Instead they were taken to an
designation house. From there the seal
skin sack was taken. When Mrs. Ell
bridge awoke in the morning she found
the garment beside her in her own
house. She did not know whether she
had borrowed it, or stolen it, or taken it
by mistake. But there 1t was and she
was arrested for theft. Those who had
her arreseed, however, knew no more
about it than did she. Hence the case
dropped through. Her fail was easy,
but now Mrs. Eldridge is penitent, and
it is hoped that she has received WARM
ing.

THE SMITH Law.

Execution.
There is a prospect that the friends of
Holden, the Redwood Falls murderer,
will make an effort to stay the execution
which should take place on June II.
They claim that the judgment against
him was unconstitutional. inasmuch as
it is in accordance with the John Day
Smith law, which was not in force at
the time OF the commitment of the
crime. The law does not increase the
punishment. however, but simply sets
the time of the execution and the num-
Der of witnesses. When asked his Opin-
ion. MIR. Smith said: II would rather
not express an opinion until have
given the matter some attention. l have

TWO GUILTY LIVES ENDED.
Shocking Discovery and a Remarka BILE
Verdict In the Tennessee Mountains.

Some details of one OF the most atrocious
crimes in the history of Tennessee have arrived
from Claiborne county. The affair happened in
the vicinity Of the Gap in the Mulberry noun
tains, wild and remote section. 1t occurred
possibly fortnight ago, though discovery was
not made until Tuesday. Sterling Collins, a
married man, who lived on thenorth side Of
the Gap, had been too free with Eliza Gibson
a neighbours wife. The husband was too care
less or too cowardly to interfere, and at last
they were ordered by the regulators, a small
band OF moonshiners who have a little decency
to leave or suffer the consequences. Shortly
after the couple disappeared and the general
supposition was that they had gone over the
ridge and were living together, but
on Tuesday two men hunting in the
woods not far from the Gibson
woman's home stumbled over two dead and
horribly mutilated bodies. and by their cloth
ing the dead were identified as the missing
couple. The woman's head was mashed to a
jelly, the viscera torn out and the right leg cut
of above the knee. Collins head was severed
from his body aud was found in the bushes
fifty feet away. One ear was gone and the
right arm was almost cut off. Both bodies
were so badly decomposed that it was impossi-
BILE to tell how they had been killed. The YER
dict of the coroner's jury, hastily empaneied,
was that deceased came to their deaths by a
stroke Of lightning.

The torpedo boat Cushing. which left the

the attention OF everybody within sight of her.
That she has marvellous lot Of power coneen-

A FOUR-YEAR.OLD SMOKER,
He Likes strong Pipes and Can Puff
Six Cigars a Day.

Trenton special TO the Philadelphia Press
says: The most remarkable small boy in Tren-
ton is Winfield Doran, who ia four years old
and can smoke six strong cigars day. 1t il
not unusual to see this precocious youngster
going through the streets with his mother
putting on q strong pipe. He began
smoking when he was seven months
OF age. He acquired the habit through
daily association with tho men of the
household, who arc all smokers They would
take him on their knees and allow him to take
the pipe in his mouth and take few puffs He
gradually acquired taste for tho weed and
demanded his turn at the Pipe during the
nursing hours. His father states that he pur-
chased new clay pipes for him, but they were
not strong enough, and he preferred an old
strong pipe, and he can smoke . pipeful at
any time aud seems to enjoy it.
The mother states that he always has q cigar
after his dinner the same as men. When he
was smaller snd he was pushed around in
baby carriage, large crowds would gather
around to see an infant smoking cigars and
cigarettes. Tho family physician says there is
no danger Of nicotine poisoning and that as he
gets older he will gradually release his hold on
the habit and viii eventually stop smoking.
Both parents hope that he will stop.
