Holding Scholarships by Fraud.

The New Haven Register states that
the III Democratic members of the
lower house of the Connecticut LeEis-
lature were elected by 92,235 votes,
while the 1873 Republican members
represent towns that polled but A.
ole votes. With Dem ocratic major
ity in the State of 50,218, the party is
in minority in the House. In the
districts represented by Democrats in
the Senate the Democratic majority
is 70 4SO. On joint ballot the Repub-
licans will elect the United States
Senator. They are claiming the gov
ernorship. The Democrats in both
houses represent 195,S40 votes, while
the Republicans, who have MAORI
ty on joint ba lot, represent but 73,-
144 votes. The two Republican Sen
ators from Connecticut are demand
ing fair representation Of the South
ern negroes in Congress. That is all
right But to be honest they should
labor to bring about n fair represen-
tation in Congress of the Connecticut
whites. They, in fact, hold their
places in the Senate by fraudulent
distribution of political power. The
small Republican towns OF the State
are given, for partisan reasons, as
many representations in the Legisa-
ture as the largest Democratic cities.

Duel With Knives.

Eight miles from Morgantown, n.
c.. one of the bloodiest duels that
was ever fought on North Carolina
soil took place the other evening.
For some time past Joseph Harris, q
young man. had suspected that John
Aiken was too intimate with his wife,
and on several occasions Harris had
told Aiken that his presence was not
desired at his house and for him TO
discontinue his visits. Aiken did not
heed the warning. but kept up bis
regu'a ar visits to Harris house. We'd
nesday Harris and Aiken met in the
public road and some hot words
passed. Harris drew long bladed
knife and made desperate lunge at
Aiken. BY this time Aiken had his
knife open and both men cut and
sla> he'd each other until finally Harris
fell over dead, with the knife Of his
antagonist still sticking where Aiken
had plunged it. Soon afterwards the
report went like wildfire all through
Morgantown and party was got up
to search for the murderer. While
most of the naighborhood are in
sympathy with the dead mans cause
and think that nothing but Alken's
death could avenge the wrong he
committed, still some think that
Harris was entirely too fast. Aiken
has not been heard from since the
duel and it 10 best for him to keep
himself in a good hiding place.

Branded Like Cain.

At Sbousetown, Pa, Charles Buss,
last Sunday night, was chloroformed
in his room while sleeping and a cross
tattooed upon his forehead in lndeil-
BILE ink, leaving him a marked man
for life. About nine months ago he
married a Young woman OF Browns
Vile. Six months ago they agreed to
separate. From time to time since
then Buss has received coInmunica-
tions warming him to leave town at
once. The notes invariably said that
il ne did not take warning he would
regret it. :,
Buss paid no attention to the mis-
sivss, which were invariably signed
with a cross. Whoever committed
this outrage were evidently experts,
for they did ole Of the neatest pieces
of tattooing ever seen. They began
at the point Of his nose and ran the
Indian ink up rs far his eyebrows
where they made a cross. They then
began work at the top OF the fore
head. but did not finish. as they only
picked it there and did not use the ink
on it.
When Buss awoke in the morning
he had q terrible pain in his head,
aud there was a strong oQor OF CHIC
reform in the room. He called one
of the inmates of the house, who,
shocked at his appearance, asked him
what he had been doing TO his face.
A glance in the mirror revealed his
condition. Soap and water were
used, and then physician was
called, who told him that 1t would be
practically impossible to remove 1t.
The next night he received another
communication from the same source
telling him he must leave the place
inside of twenty-four hours, or he
would be corpse. He informed De-
tective Cook Of the Lake Erie road
about the matter, aud employed him
TO work up the case. Buss asserts
that he has not one enemy in the
world, with the exception OF his
wife

Giving Up Their Cutiole.

One of the most unique surgical OPP
erations on record was performed IN
Chicago last week, aud one hundred
knights Templar gave TO the wor
a notable example OF traternal ,ove
and self-sacririce, made i'll order tnat
a sick brother might be restored TO
health. The Knights each suffered the
loss OF cuticle which was transferred
to Sir Knight John Dickersou. y
cancer, which had attacked his tnign,
was removed some time ago, but SO
de. p an incision had to be made III
the flesh that nature was unequal to
the task Of healing over the gaping
wound. The experiment was tried OF
ENGRAVING the skin OF some lower an
finals but it failed TIE surgeon in
charge announced 10 DickersOu's
anxious brethren that if human skin
could be obtained il would in all
probability save the patients life
and insure his complete recovery.
The question was where TO obtain
sufficient skin to cover IA square
inches of surface. The matter was
preached in the Commandery, and TO
q man the Knights offered TO submit
themselves TO the necessary opera
ton. Those selected by the surgeons
have had to go through sort of
training, being dieted, etc, for sever
al days past, and were particularly
admonished TO abstain from any al-
coholic stiInulent.
Near one hundred Knights had
each a small strip of skin removed
from their arm or leg TO be trans
planted to Dickerson's hip. Nearly
all the Knights went through il with
out flinching. Five or six tainted
when their cuticle was being removed,
but were quickly resuscitated. The
surgeons worked hard for three hours,
and were themselves pretty we'll tired
out when through. While they make
no positive statements as to the re-
suit OF the operation, it is said that
their operation will be entirely sue
oessful. The knights who offered
themselves up TO the surgeons knives
will experience but little inconven-
fence FROM the slight wounds inflicted
upon them.
1t 10 the hope and belief OF the
knights that their afflicted brother
will soon recover and take his place
among them. All the physicians hold
out much encouragement. 1t will be
ten days before the success or failure
Of the experiment will be known. If
successful the place should be healed
over in thirty days.

She Answered An Advertise ment.

Alice Carnee was pretty young
girl of sixteen years, who lived In
Wiliamsport, Pa. Several months
ago she read an advertisement OF a
man in Greencastle, Indiana, who
wanted wife. She answered it, and
u vigorous correspondence was be-
gun between them. When photo
graphs were exchanged she was so
well pleased that she at once accept
ed the stranger. Her parents were
opposed to this way of doing things,
but she refused to listen to them.
Last December the stranger wrote
asking her to come to his home and
marry him, as his business would not
allow him to leave. She agreed to
this and started West on New Years
Day. She found her betrothed had
been greatly flattered by his photo
graph, but she married him the same
day. When he was taken to his
home she found he was a laborer.
He also treated her so badly that a
few days later she telegraphed to her
parents, asking them to take her back.
They sent her word to come home.
She started back. and now wants to
get divorce from her husband. She
had wept, the conductor said, nearly
all the way on the train.
