The villain Foiled by Conversation.

It seldom happens that q person under
taking to commit crime is prevented
from SO doing except by fear, but the
man who undertook the job of going
through the residence of S. M. keenan,
was completely nonplussed by the BRAY
cry Of the mistress of the house.
Mrs. Keenan, had occasion to leave her
home for short time, and before doing
SO turned down the lamp and went out,
her husband having gone down town to
attend meeting of miners. Returning
in afew minutes she found stranger in
the kitchen, with his hat drawn over his
face. to whom she spoke, asking him
what he wanted. He replied he was
going through the house, and warned
her not to make any outcry. Mrs.
Keenan,, having good presence Of mind
and possessing good deal more than
the ordinary amount of courage, replied:
"Go through the house if you want to,
get what there is, and if you can find
any money you can do more than can.
l have ten cents and some postage stamps
l will give YOU"
At this onset the would-be burglar
said: "You seem to be very brave. I
know you are alone, for I saw the men
leave the house."
To this Mrs. Keenan, replied: ''In that
you are mistaken, for there are three
men upstairs I could call to my assist
ance, but l don't think it necessary.
Why don't you go through the house?
Go through the pantry and help your
self; you look as if you needed some
thing. II I had six bits I would give
you half Of it."
At this last onslaught the bold burglar
laughed outright and left the house.

The Ruling Passion,

There is a clerk in a government de-

phrase, public Office who is so precise,
SO married to routine, that he dockets
all his love letters, and minutes his an
swers on the back, ties them up neatly
with red tape, and puts them away in
pigeonholes. He always writes to the
lady on s'half Margin" and never visits
her without first making an appoint

ways to attract the attention of deaf

aEADsasc GAS METERS.
Some Harvard Students Help Pay Tn.

Some Harvard Students Help Pay Their
Expenses in This Manner.
One Of the pleasantest and best pay
ing occupations in which a good many
college men engage is reading meters for
the Boston Gas Light Company. This
company employs about twenty five stu
dents in that department. The work is
quite simple, each man being given a
district in which it is his duty once a
month to visit every gas meter and note
down the figures as indicated on the
dials. The districts are SO divided up
that it takes each one five or six days to
complete his work. For this the stu
dents are paid So per day; consequently
they are able to earn about$ month
from reading meters alone.
Where student is practicing the most
rigid and severe economy this So per
week proves quitea welcome assistance
and goes long way toward paying for
their simple necessities. The work is
steady the year round and college
man in the employ of the Boston Gas
Light Company can Of a. certainty count
upon an income of at least $3.50 to SO
per week. The work is considered so
desirable by collegians that there are al
ways'on hand number of applications,
so that when one drops out there are
plenty eager to take his place.
The young men thus employed come
from all the surrounding colleges, Har-
ward, Tufts, Boston university, Institute
OF Technology, and the Medical School
furnishing about equal numbers. AS a
rule they are of New England birth and
come from good families. An illustra-
ton of how some young men put them
selves through college is found in the
case Of a native of the Granite State
who is attending the Boston university.
His means being very limited he Sc
cured work from the Boston Gas Light
company, the proceeds from which he
used in defraying all his college ex-
penses, such as room rent, books, cloth
ing, etc.
He at first got his board free by serv-
ing moons as waiter in a restaurant,
and later by acting as commissary for a
boarding club. In this way he obtained
all his board, room rent, clothing, books
and all the other things necessary to
college course by his own individual ef-
forts. Another young man pays his
way through the same college with the
money received from working for the
gas company, added to the profits of
large newspaper route which he goes
over every afternoon, and it is said that
he earns from that source even more
than from reading meters. Boston Rec-

Had to Saw Her Out.

Several hundred people crowded the
street in front of Galt's jewelry store
Friday morning, attracted by the sorry
plight of a comely young woman, who
sat ON the fagstones right in front of
one of the big windows. One daintily
shod foot peeped perforce from under
her skirts, and the other was down in
the coal hole under the sidewalk.
It seems that the iron and glass graf
ing that lights the vault under the side
walk just before the plate glass window
was broken. The hole did not seem
large enough for q child's foot to slip
through.

Another HorribIe Nrurder.

ALTERRA, YAZoo RIVER, Aug. 9TH, 1891.
EDITOR YAzoo SEMINAL:
A most horrible and cold blooded assas-
sination occurred at DIR. G. N. Browns
this morning about o'clock. Some one,
supposed to be Pres Greenleaf, shot and
killed Bob Davis. The assassin went.
upon the gallery of Bobs house, put his
gun through the window and fired load
of buck shot, hitting Bob in the Chest
and neck, killing him instantly. Bob
was laying on pallet and when shot
was sitting up. On July Goth the same
party shot into the same honsc, the shot
passing few inches above Bob's body.
On the 18th Of July Pres Greenleaf en-
tered my quarters about p. m. and
shot Bob Davis with Winchester, seri-
ously fracturing his thigh. Since then
my hands have been on the look out for
him. He has relatives on Belle Prairie
and the Chew Place, who have harbored
and assisted him in keeping out of sight.
We have not been able to locate him.
Last fall Pres Greenleaf induced a
young girl, whose family live on this
place to follow him off; he lived with her
as man and wife, This spring he started
a crop on Belle Prairie. In April the
girl left him and returned to her family.
Greenleaf was often on the place and
tried to induce the girl to return and live
with him, which she most positively re-
fused todo. On several occasions Green
leaf used very bad language in my quar-
tiers and my hands told him he could not
talk in that way in the presence of their
families, He gave Bob Davis a. lick with
his fist, Bob hit back and got the best of
it. Pres then went down to Belle Prairie
and in about an hour returned with
shot gun. advancing on Bob, telling him
he had come to kill him. Some Cf the
hands interfered and prevented the exc
cution of his threat. That night Bob
Davis and his cousin Tom Henry saw
him coming and fired two or three loads
Of small shot at him; he ran away and
no damage was done. That occurred |
April Sth. Since then Pres has frequent |
" passed through my quarters ton the /
public road. From April Sth until |
July 18th, when he first shot Bob Davis
IN the thigh nothing has occurred to re-
new the quarrel and every one supposed
he matter had been dropped.
When he first shot Bob Davis. he Bob
vas sitting out under a tree holding his
hid in his lap. / never have known an
assassin so persistent and blood thirsty
n his work. It was most cruel and
,arbarous affair. Warrants have been |
nut for tile arrest OF Pres, but no one has
zen able to locate him. Aside from
our OF five hands on my place none Of
he negroes seem to have taken any in
crest in making an arrest or in trying
o hunt the murderer up. An inquest
ill be held to-day by Justice Partee.

al prohIhltion Convention.

The time has come in the judgment
Of the Executive Committee OF the
non-partisan Prohibition Convention
for the friends Of the legal suppression
OF the liquor traffic in Mississippi, to
meet IN council. Since we last met sub
stantial progress has been made.
The Constitutional Convention left the
cause OF temperance in far better condi-
ton than it ever was before. Wobelieve
the public sentiment of the State is con-
stantly maturing against the legalized
liquor traffic II is only necessary for
the friends Of prohibition to compare
views,u nifty forces and press their cause
to final success in our beloved State.
Therefore q convention is called TO
meet in Representatives Hall, Jackson,
Miss, II O'Clock, September ., 1891.
All who oppose the continuance of the
liquor traffic, without regard TO their
party affiliations, are invited TO attend.
We call on the friends of prohibition in
every county in Mississippi to meet and
send delegates to the convention.
II il earnestly desired that we have a
very full meeting.
The Executive Committee will perfect
arrangements for railroad rates, and for
everything needful for holding the con
yention.
