Death or McissonIer, the Fainter.

Paris, Jan. 31.-Jean Louis Nelson
Ter, the painter, died in the city to-day.
j. l.. Il. Meissonier, the most famous
painter of our times has been seriously
III with bronchitis. NJ. Meissonier was
born of humble parents at Lyons, Feb.
2l, 1915, aud was pupil Of Leon Cog.
Mot. After voyage to Italy ho re-
turned to Paris and devoted himself to
a styleaf painting until then entirely
neglected in France-tho painting Of
genre pictIffes, most Of which repre-
sented but one figure. For five or six
years he underwent great trials and
sufIeriDgs, during which he was will
ing to do any artistic work that came
in his way. Meanwhile ho labored
diligently at his own conceptions, exc
cutting them with q Flemish careful
ness of detail and exquisite finish,
which has since become his best known
characteristic. "The Chess Player" In
1886, ended bis period Of want, since
which he has enjoyed q worldwide
celebrity. The episode of his portrait
of Mrs. Mackay, for which that lady
paid $4,000 and destroyed, Is still
fresh In the public mind. Personally
Mcissonier was not popular with either
artists or the public. Vain and irasci-
bic 10 the last degree, he had been en-
gagged in more than one quarrel with
wealthy and distinguished patrons, to
which the attention of the whole polite
world has been attracted. He has
been accused Of treating ladies who
were his patrons In most un-Frenchlike
incivility.

We know not what it is, dear. this sleep So
deep and still
The folded hands, the awful calm, the cheek so
pale and chill,
The lids that will not in again, though We
may call and cali,
The strange white solitude ofpeses that settles
over all.
We know rot what il means, dear. this desolaie
heart pain,
Ths dread to take our daily way and walk in it
again.
We know not to what sphere the loved who
leave Us 20,
Nor why we're len TO wander still, nor why we
do not know.
But this we know: our loved and lost, ifthey
should come this day.
should come and ask Us, What is life not one
ofus could say.
Life is 9 mystery as deep as death can ever be;
Yet oh. how sweet 1. is to US. this life we live
and sect
Then might they say. those vanished ones, and
blessed is the thought,
So death is sweet to Us, beloved. though we
may tell you nanght.
We may not tell II to the quick. this mystery Of
desthi
Ye may not tell II ifye would, the mystery Of
breath.
The child that enters life comes not with knowl-
edge or INTENT
So those who enter death must 90 as little chill
dren sent.
Nothing Is known. but | believe that God is
overhead;
And as life Is to the living, SO death Is TO the
dead. -tMary Mapes ID odge.

Chicago, Feb. 2.-The stiletto mur-
der grows daily more sensational. To
day Police Inspector Hunt, after care
full investigation, reached the conclu-
sion that the victim was decoyed into
the wood at Pine Ridge by the tale that
stolen property was buried there and
could be purchased at a low figure
Arriving at the previously selected
spot. SIENNA was taken to the foot OF
scrub oak. While on his knees Dig
ging valon struck him a fearful blow
in The neck with the stiletto.
Terrified and bleeding, the wounded
man jumped and rau eighty feet, either
fell or was overtaken, only to nave the
sharp steel driven into his body over
thirty times in succession. The police
are not inclined TO think that robbery
or private malice was the real motive
of The marder. The dead man sent
large. closely sealed packages at regu-
lar intervals to Italy, and this circlIn-
stance, with the facts of the assassina'
tion. are taken TO confirm suspicion
that the tragedy was the work OF the
Malta.

Mr.. L. Z. McGehee of Pinckneyyille,
who advertises this bean for sale, in a
circular letter says:
ain the Sofa bean we have legume
of tho highest order. 1t is not only a
vigorous grower, but a prodigious
bearer of beans. On rich land, when
well cultivated, they often attain a
height Of more than four feet, and a
single stalk often contains as many as
five hundred pods. The Sofa bean
seems to delight in hot, dry weather,
aud will stand drouih without the
slightest apparent injury. The beans
grow upon the stalk so compactly that
they are much easier and not SO expen-
sive TO gather as the COW peas, or the
stalks may be cut near the ground with
machette (cane knife) as the pods all
mature at the same time. When culti-
yated on a large scale they may be
sown broadcast or cultivated ON the
level culture plan and cut with a
moving machine. | think that they
are fully equal to the COW pea as fer
tilizing agent, and 1t is moro than
probable that the shade produced by
the luxuriant growth of this crop dur
ing the summer months when nitrifica-
tion is most active, greatly promotes
the formation aud storage of nitrates
In the soil.' II is said that the Sofa
bean will produce from ten TO one
hundred bushels per acre, according
to the productive capacity of the land
on which they are grown. All practi-
cal farmers who have tried them unite
In pronouncing the Sofa bean one of
the best feed stufls that can be given
animals for fattening purposes. The
beans should be sown half-bushel to
the acre broadcast or in drills four feet
apart or eighteen inches between the
plants, dropping three or four beans in
hill; this will require about half a
peck to the acre."-Live.Stock Journal.

A Murierer's Escape.

PITrsBURi, Sept, ia. ). Budd,
alias Frederick Htzsimmons, the desper-
ado who killed Detective ID. H Gilkin-
son and dangerously wounded Constable
Murphy wiailc resisting arrest, escaped
from the county Jail some time last
night.
Fitzsammons was recently convicted OF
robbery, and was awaiting trial for the
murder of Gilkinson. He was one of
the sllrewdest, and at the same time
mest desperate. criminals of these parts,
and a close watch has been kept upon
him. Last night, however, he succeed
Ell in eluding the vigilance of his keep
ers, and, after saving the bars of his
cell door and one of the prison win
dows, scaled the high wall and made
good his escape.
His absence was not discovered until
daylight. 1t Is thought he left the Jail
about , O'Clock this morning, 50 that he
had the advantage of several hours.
\ thorough search is being made for
him, but very little hopes of his capture
are entertained. At the time of his ar
rest he had in his possession some So, 600,
| but what became of this is not known.
| He had many influential friends who are
| believed to have aided in his escape.
A thorough investigation as how he
managed to get out of the jail is in pro-
| greSS.

The result of the inquiry of the COM
mittee on Lunacy of the State Board of
Charities into the charges of gross mis-
management made against the manage
ment of the State Insane Hospital at
Harrisburg has been made public. They
find that charges of mismanagement
and cruelty are substantially true.
Patients were assaulted by attendants,
involving serions bodily harm. and, al
though the facts were known to the first
assistant physician, DIR. Milton U. Gear
hardt, and Superintendent DR. J. Il. Gear
hardt, they failed to dismiss the offend
ing attendants or to notify the Commit
tee on Lunacy so that legal actions may
be taken.
The Committee had actual proof of
the fact that the system of keeping the
hospital books was imperfect for years
past. The dispensing and compound
ing of medicines for the patients and re-
sponsibility of the hospital pharmacy
had been In the hands of an employe
not legally or actually qualified for such

Has Slept Four Years.

SCRANTON, Sept. 13.-Michael Fernan,
living beyond Factoryville, Wyoming
county near the Nicholson tunnel. to-
day was aroused from four-years' sleep.
which was only broken by semi-con-
scious periods, produced by hunger.
Fernan was for many years night watch
man at the tunnel, and worked a
small farm on which he lived during
the day. He became so exhausted men
tally and physically that one morning.
on returning home, he sank into a pro-
found sleep, from which he could not be
aroused that day. For several days he
lay asleep. Doctors watched over him
until hunger partially awoke him, but
after eating he again dozed off, and so it
has gone for these four years The man
in all this time never uttered an inteIli-
gible sentence. The doctors ascribe the
sleep to overwork and the dampness of
the tunnel through which he walked af-
ter the passage of every train. His
health continuing good they left the
sleeper to himself. He was recalled to
his senses by the death of daughter,
who lately returned from the West.

Narrowly Escaped n Moose.

QUEBEC, Que, September 14.-At 3
O'Clock yesterday fire was discovered in a
small tavern owned by Octave Ouellet,
who has already been burned out under
suspicious circumstances when well in
sured. The flames spread rapidly. In
three hours twenty-nine houses had been
burned as well as a portion of Cape
Blanc Roman Catholic church and the
saciity and school house connected
Herewith. Meantime Ouellet had gone
to the residence of a brother-in-law
named Chevalier. Chief of Police Nohl,
being notified of the suspicious circum-
stances, went to Chevalier's house and
placed him under arrest.
Before he could dress himself a num-
ber of the sufferers, who had lost their
all by the fire, rushed to the house,
headed by man with rope, determin-
ed to hang the firebug to the nearest
electric light pole. Ouellet fell on his
knees in terror and wept like a child.
Chief Nohl made bold stand for his
prisoners life, declaring that he would
defend him TO the last extremity. The
crowd fell back and he managed to get
the trembling Ouellet safely away in
carriage.
