Distinctions About Liars.

do you mean to tell me Pm a liar" Ii
the form generally used in certain classes
of society in protesting against incredulity.
Occasionally it is an awkward question to
answer. If a man tells you-the story has
often been told by professed eye witnesses
that he has seen Mr.. Sturgeon crawl lar
boriously up his pulpit stairs, TO show how
steep and thorny was the road TO heaven.
and slide gayly down the banisters, to i'm
press upon his hearers the dangerous facil-
ity with which they could go TO hell, you
naturally look upon your informant du-
biously, as you do upon the other, also an
eve witness, who describes the presence Of
the Archbishop of Canterbury at a prize
fight. In both cases your speaking coun-
tenance has not been seriously misjudgedl
But there are many instances in which,
hearing a strange story, you withhold your
belief, not because you think the teller OF
the story is liar, but from doubt as to bis
accuracy or powers of observation. Tho
heroic friend, who struggled for nearly
three-quarters of an hour with a burglar
before help came, you consider bad judge
of time The enthusiastic preacher, whose
200 or 300 hearers are reckoned at not far
less than 1000, you do not regard as an
Ananias or "A GehaZi-you think be ~ loose
in his estimates of numbers. You are rec
omfnended to look at a picture or read
book that is mere rubbish; the friend who
told you that it was superexcelleut was
not a willful deceiyer, bat he had no taste.

Lulu Lang event wrong" because she
had no proper training and was not amen
able 20 parental discipline. She is New
York girl but twelve years of age yet for a
third of her brief existence she has stopped
at home only when she chose and the re-
mainder of the time has wandered about
OstensibIy supporting herself by the sale of
candy and by posing as an artists model.
However, these honest occupations were
but incidents in a decidedly dishonest
career She added to her slender gains by
begging and by theft. Her innocent blue
eyes, swimming with tears, gave powerful
aid to her glibly told tales of woe and des-
titution and she wiled many dollar from
the pockets of the charitable. But it was
while peddling sweets that she reaped her
richest harvest.
If a purchaser in one of the big down
town Offices rendered her five or a ten dol
lar bill she would leave her basket and go
out to get it changed. Always that was
the last seen of Lulu thereabout. But she
grew too bold the other day and stole a

line, leaped from the Brooklyn bridge and
met his fate in the waters far below.
There are some curious features to the
Stratton case. The man was clerk at a
hotel in G. New York village. When he
went to the city to take part in the dime
museum contest that resulted so disas.
trously he weighed go pounds. He was
forty years of age, a total abstainer and OF
regular habits He had tasted before in
order to reduce his flesh, and had expe-
rienced no bad results. So he entered the
battle of endurance without fear.
After a few days his rivals quit, but
Stratton held on, for if he beat S2lcci's rec.
ord he was to receive 5000. For thirty
seven days nothing but water passed his
lips. Then he began TO fail. AS he re.
fused to take food the attending physician
directed that minute quantities of cham.
payne be given him. Forty-one days and
eighteen hours after he began the test he
was taken to hospital drunk and dying.
A little later he succumbed to alcoholism
and fatty degeneration of the heart. His
weight had been reduced sixty pounds, and
the reception of wine into 4 weakened
system unaccustomed to stimulants had
knocked him out" His share of the re-
ceipts-about $i00-goes to his mother,
who is a widow eighty years of age.

rapid succession. Then a woman stag
gered shrieking through the hall, and
the discovery and statement OF the would
be murderer and suicide followed.
The couple were taken to a hospital,
where it was found that neither had re-
ceived fatal wounds. The man was in
tensely disappointed by the surgeons an
nouncement, and after his hurts had been
dressed gave the following explanation Of
the tragedy in which he figured as princi-
pal:
MY name is Charles Vest, and am
thirty years of age The woman is my
wife, Emma Vest, and she is twenty-eight
years old. We were married nine years
ago in jefferson, La. My business is that
of a lumberman, and / came to this coast
first about five months ago, on account of
my wifes health. We went to live at rs
Hyde street, with Eta l.. Hart, and to the
influence of the Hart woman / attribute
all the trouble that has ended in this shoot
ing. About three months ago | went back
east to buy lumber for firm here. Never
mind what firm. Ny wife and l had been
having trouble before | left, and after had
been in Wisconsin a few weeks she wrote
Inc that she would never live with me
again. hoped | would be able to make 1T
up with her and continued to write to her
and send her money, sending her in all
sos while was away. l started for San
Francisco some three weeks ago and
stopped on my way out at Salt Lake City,
where my wife met me- tried to get her
to live with me again, but she refused and
came back here.
81 followed her, arriving here on Friday
night. I went to the Brooklyn hotel, W there
l registered as Frank Smith, because l did
not want my wife to know was Iere. |
wanted to find out what she was doing.
This morning 1 bought the pistol with
which / did the shooting, determined to
find my wife and give her one last chance
to go back and live with me, and in case
she refused / determined to kill her. for
life without her is worth nothing to me,
not a nickel l would rather be dead.
Well, about noon today l met my wife
near the Chronicle building / asked her
to go down TO my hotel with me to talk
our troubles over, still determined to kill
her and myself. We talked awhile in the
room, and she still refusing to i've with
me shot her and then shot myself"
Mrs. Vest said that she left her husband
because he was brutal and unfaithful.

THE WOOD FAMILY

Naturally the people of Poughkeepsie ara
very proud of the Wood family, and some
time ago they raised handsome fund by
subscription. Five gold medals set with
diamonds were purchased and presented
to Captain Isaac and his sons Edward A.,
Rodman H., George B. and Amarr. Talk
ing recently of his career, the captain, who
is now seventy years old, said:
81 have not touched spirituous or malt
liquors in twenty-five years. | did drink
some at one time, but never TO excess. and
when drank did not try to make life a
burden to other people. l kept saloon at
one time, but concluded | did not care to
live through other peoples misfortunes
and quit the business. Icould have made
the old Exchange hotel pay if had run a
bar. A hotel on the river front has very
little show without bar. Well, l just
concluded | would rather work hard for a
living than owe any ease and comfort to
profits on rum. My boys have never tasted
liquor. beer, wine or even cider in their
lives, not one of them"
Edward is employed in the Poughkeepsie
postoffice. Rodman succeeded his father
in the city express business. George is 8
wheelman on the steamer William +. Ro-
mer, of the Rondout line. Amarr man
ages his fathers rowboat business in sum-
mer. Captain Woods wife is still living,
and he has married daughter residing in
Hoboken, n. j..

had passed the milestone of middle age
when there came the famine of 1S4S.
The sons sought America to better their
fortunes. Tim settled at St. Louis, Will
liam and Lawrence entered the Federal
army and died on the field of battle. The
daughter Bridget ran away with an Eng
lish sailor. In 1864 old man Cunningham
expired, and the widow journeyed to the
United States, where she met her son Tim,
and the two fixed their humble abode at
San Francisco.
Meanwhile the Maynard daughter, who
was an Irish beauty. had got rid of her
sailor husband and had become the Cora
Pearl of New Orleans, under the name OF
Kate Townsend. She got on in years, but
kept her good looks and grew wealthy at
her nefarious career. The high minded
old mother and brother refused to share
her sinful gains and chose life of honest
poverty. Kate took up'' with Treville
Sykes, the scion of an illustrious southern
house, and made a will in his favor. In
