A Polynesian Legend.

Tura, coming from over seas, found him
self in a land named Otea, and leaving
his canoe journeyed inland. Travelling
through the dense forest, he saw fairies sit
ting in the flowers of the climbing plants
and swinging on the lianas which trailed
from the high boughs across the vistas of
the wood. These fairies were curiously
shaped beings, having small heads and
large bodies, while their hands and feet
were attached to limbs so short that they
seemed as if extruding from their bodies
Tura had brought with him the sticks
wherewith fire is produced by friction, and
he proceeded to kindle a fire and to cook
some food, much to the establishment of
the fairies, who had always consumed their
food in its natural state. Tura fell in love
with one of the fairy women and married
her. His wife reciprocated his affection
and they lived happily together; but one
day when the elfin spouse was combing
out her husbands hair she suddenly cried
out, ''Oh, Tura, what is this white hair
among the black onesy'
He told her that it was sign of age and
of approaching decay, the forerunner of
death. Then his wife wept bitterly and
refused to be comforted. 1t is touching
story, the sudden surprise and grief of this
child of the immortals on her discovery of
that which to us poor sons of clay is so
common and obtrusive fact. The old
legend has given rise to a proverbial say
ing, "The weeds of Tura," as a synony-
nous expression for gray yhair.-Longman's

Queer Artistic Blunder..

painting where Abraham is preparing to
shoot Isaac with a pistol, and in country
church in Germany the painter, in repre-
senting the sacrifice of Isaac, places a blum
derbus in Abraham's- hand as argument
for obedience, and paints an angel coming
down to pour water on the pan.

Theory that the Hanover Muir
derer Has Committed Suicide.
rrrrc1AL TO ruE EVENING WORLD. e,


HANOVER, N. H., July 22.-Though the feel
ing against the murderer OF Christie Warden
is as deep to-day as It was yesterday the pur-
suit is being gradually relaxed In SO fur as It
has been kept by volunteers.
Clue after clue has been run down, only to
flnd that there was no basis for the supposi-
tion that the murderer had been seen as re-
ported. So, as nothing promised TO come OF
their efforts, men engaged In the search have
begun to return 10 their own business affairs.
As disappointment after disappointment
has come TO the Searchprs, a theory at flrst
thrown aside has been taken up again and
grows In strength.
This theory Is that Almy has committed
suicide.
In support OF this is quoted Almy's express
sion when Miss Warden rejected his suit, " 1
haven't anything to live for now"
The Connecticut River Is near the scene OF
the tragedy, and many believe that after COM
mitting the terrible crime Almy drowned
himself.
Aside from this, the only clue left at pres
ent which seems to have any possibility OF
favorable development is that which locates
Almy IN Canada. It has been wired here that
man answering his description was seen at
SherbrooRe, ont, ana was en- route for Mon
treal.

petition asking the Common Council not to
make contract for laying water mains In
certain streets, but to let the work be done
by the day, and that time labor be employed
at the rate OF s2 per day.
Commissioner OF Public Works Collum had
attended the meeting at the invitation Of the

MISS NEWBECK'S WEIRD STORY
Found Struggling in the East
River at Midnight.
She Claims that Man Deliberately
Threw Her Into the Water.

The Brooklyn police have mystery on
their hands to-day which they are endeavor-
ing to solve.
pretty seventeen-year-oldg girl was found
struggling In the East River at the foot of
Milton street shortly before midnight last
night, and when rescued she claimed she had
been pushed overheard by young man.
The girl is pretty brunette. She gave her
name as Katie Newbeck, and claims to reside
at 408 East seventy-second street in this
city.
At11.4o last night, watchman Harry James
and Edward Mcguire. who are in the employ
OF the American Manufacturing Company,
which has its works at the corner Of Noble
and Oak streets, Brooklyn, were startled by
hearing a scream for help. The voice sounded
from the river.
Running down the pier at the foot of Milton
street, they saw young girl struggling In the
water. The watchmen quickly obtained a
boat and reached the girl as she was going
down for the last time.
She was hysterical with excitement and
fright. After the watchmen had succeeded
in quieting her she told q most startling
story.
81 was walking along the street this even
ing" said she, when young man came up
and spoke to me. We got into conversation,
and he suggested that we should take walk
down to The river.
We went down TO the pier, and after some
talk he pushed me OF from the dock into the
water"
"Can you describe the man who you say
threw you into the water 2"
"He was young man, with dark complex
ion and slight black mustache. He wore a
blue colored suit OF clothes"
The case was reported to the police OF the
Seventh Precinct, and Detective Sergeant
George Queen was detailed to investigate the
girls story.
Robert sconed, watchman In the employ
OF Mr.. English, Of West street and Greenpotnt
avenue, was found by the detective. Scofleld
says he was on Greenpoint avenue shortly be-
fore the girl was found In the water and saw
her pass by. She was alone and was walking
In the direction OF the pier
The detectives claim to have found several
others who saw the girl alone, and they pro-
fess to disbelieve her story. They say that
she either tried to end her life or fell on the
dock accidentally. The girl was taken to st
Gatknfdno'n Hospital
