the citizens OF several cities in this coun-
tire. died lately in the arms Of his mother

Hazeltine the son OF DR.. G. w. Hazel
tine. a respected citizen of jamestown,
NJ. Y. was OF Medium stature, smooth
face, deep blue eyes, beautiful complex
ion digniiied carriage and always well
dressed. His escapades in various parts
Of the country marked him as a strange
being young man with mania for kill
ing the weaker sex. He was victim OF
morphine and absinthe. A confirmed
woman hater, in his short career he kill
ed one woman and attempted to destroy
the lives Of half dozen others, all Of whom
were his intimate friends.
Once he cuffed a Buffalo belle nearly
to death. although he had previously
treated her as gallantly as a Knight.
Subsequently, in the same city, he turn
ed upon a young lady he was escorting
from ball and fired at her repeatedly
from a revolver as she fed from him.
These antics drove him from society and
home.
He went to Baltimore in 1888 and soon
formed the acquaintance ola Mrs. Thor
pc and Miss White. One day he walk
ed into the parlor where the ladies were
and shot Mrs. Thorpe through the heart
and wounded Miss White. For this he
was indicted for murder. but through
the political Influence OF ex-Governor
White was convicted of only murder in
the second degree. After four years OF

Maryland pardoned him, withthe under
standing that he should be put in an asy-
lum. Instead. however, Hazeltine went
back to his home at jamestown, where
his father established him in the drug
business.
After few months young Hazeltine,
without any provocation, while calling
upon young lady, tried TO Kill her.
for this escapade he was again sentenc-
ed to the penitentary, but his sentence
was suspended on condition that he
would forever leave the state. In court
he pleaded guilty, saying he was not ac-
countable for his animosity toward the
weaker sex. He then went TO St. Louis
and later drifted TO New Orleans, ar
irving there in March last. 1ie regist-
cred at a hotel as W. w. Hilton. a st.
Louis drug clerk. His peculiar actions
and nervous temperament excited the
suspicion Of the clerks and guests.
Investigation showed that he had
spent sl75 in a single night for cham
payne. He threatened 10 shoot Lorena
Farrell, and when she and Nettie East
rest, I.orena's companion. were arrested
for robbing Hazeltine, it developed that
he had ordered 100 bottles OF champagne
in one evening. Subsequently his
strange antics were the cause Of his
being driven from the hotel
He afterwards came north and drifted
TO this city. His parents heard from
him only through his escapades with

A TRUE TALE


President Lincoin's Story ~ the End of
sykes Dog.
When Mr.. Lincoln heard Of the scatter
ing Of the Confedcraius under Hood and
Gen. Thomas he was reminded Of tho fol
lowing story, "Cut In lower Illinois, Ia a
little village, there was butcher named
Sykes, who had large, wicke dmlschlev.
GUS bulldog, which was regarded as a
town nuisance Fowl were killed, clothes
were pulled from the lines. meat houses
were robbed, children were scared, and
Sykes dog was blamed for all and
blamed Justly. Now, there was man
named Henderson who had fine turkey
killed by this dog Of Sykes, and he sworc
revenge. 50 he took about quarter OF a
pound Of powder and did Il up in piece
of buckskin, tying up a piece OF punk
so that il projected out Of the little bundle
Of powder Then he put the bundle in a
large piece of corn bread and had II in
readiness, II was not long before Sykes
dog came trotting along, and Henderson,
lighting the punk with a cigar threw the
bit of bread 10 the cur, who gobbled il at
mouthful The next minute there was
an explosion. The dogs head was blown
over fence into the creek, his hind legs
and tail were sent up and lodged ON Hen
derton's poarch, his fore legs were thrown
across the street, and the rest of the bow
WOW was laid about in small pieces.
'Whorrar exclaimed looker-on. you've
rather used up Sykes dog, haint ye Hen
dersonY Yes, replied Henderson, !
rather think that as dog Sykes won't find
him of much use And SO Of the Rebel
army" added Mr. Lincoln. with one Of his
sad smiles, "es an army Hood won't find
il Of much use"

Henry Simpson Of Henderson, Ky, has
been in the habit of using dynamite for the
purpose Of blowing old tree stumps out Of
the ground. The other day he oarelessly
left the dangerous compound lying by the
side of stump. The dynamite was mixed
with sawdust and gave out an exceedingly
pleasant odor, which attracted the atten-
tion of two of Simpsons hogs They fin
ished their inspection Of the stuff by eat
ing it, and then one of them, probably to
accelerate digestion, began rubbing
its side against post at the entrance Of a
mules stall. The mule remained passive
for only few minutes, and then, as mules
will do, gave the hoy a tremendous kick
in the side. A terrific explosion followed. .
and when the smoke and dust had cleared
away the hog was found in dctachments,
while an enormous hole marked the spot
where he had stood. The mule. of course,
survived, OF ii wouldn't have been a mule;
but was the most surprised mule YOU ever
saw. The other hog escaped, and is now
at large greatly to the discontinue Of

The awful atrocities committed during the
late prosecutions of the Jews are still fresh
IN our minds and bear witness 70 the say
ngery Of the Russian peasant, and the
treatment experienced by the Turcomans,
both after the capture Of khiva and the
fall OF Cock Tcpe, show that, at all events
in Asia the authorities even encourage
the worst passions Of the soldier. Perhaps
Skobeleiis greatest quality as a successful
general was his thorough appreciation OF
the peculiaritics of the men he com
mandcd He had wonderful hold on
their sympathies. and he enjoyed a
popularity with the rank and file such
as no other Russian general has ever ac-
auired II was Skobelcff who conducted

the dispersed Turcomans Skobcleif thor

lished his control as deliberately as he per
mitted unbridlcd license. For exactly
twenty four hours the captors Of Geek
Tepo were uncontrolled within six hours
Of the termination Of that period two sol
diers were shot for triiling crimes. This
circumstance coupled with the fact Of
SkobelciT's grcat popularity n the army,
gives a striking indication Of the character
Of the Russian soldier, as judged BY the
man who know him best.
