Life Had No Ray of Hope.

Age and poverty combined come very
near bringing people to the lowest depths
OF human misery. Hope says farewell, and
despair begins his frightful reign. The
other day there were found floating in the
Seine near Clichy, France, the corpses Of
a mar and woman who Ind resided for
many years in a house at the Ternes end of
the long Rue de Faubourg Saint Honore.
The manufacturer by name-had been a
commercial traveller in his better days, and
was upward of eighty years OF age when he
persuaded Nine. de Fischer, a blind woman,
who is said to have belonged to a wealthy
Russian family possessing large estates in
the Caucasus, TO die with him. as they
were in a condition OF the utmost destitu-
ton. Nine. de Fischer, nee MarkoI, is de
scribed as the widow OF a parsonage who
held the title OF marshal of the nobility,
and who expired about twenty years < o
The two life weary octogenarians bound
their arms and legs tightly together, rolled
themselves into the water, aud thus forced
an end to earthly woes.

1t was another instance Of woman's will
fulness ending In tragedy. Ida was mar
ried TO a saloon keeper in Dallas, Tex,
eight years ago, and they had one child.
She had been a variety actress, and could
not settle down TO the calm of domestic life.
She left home two years ago and, sliding
lower and lower, became u concert hall
singer, Her husband-C. j. Dirmeyer by
nRme-idolized her, but she persisted in
remaining away from him, finding supreme
delight in the promiscuous admiration of
the ~frequenters OF III Bowery halls. Charles
5. Wilbur, the murderer and suicide, was
one Of her conquests. She threw him over,
however, for another man, who had lots OF
money and gave her a diamond ring worth
$3.50.
On the night OF the shooting she was in
good spirits, and looked quite jaunty in
her low necked dress and short petticoats.
n sarcastic smile illumined her face as she
sang her last song, and she swept of the
stage with a glance of scorn at her old
lover, who sat scowling in the audience as
the vocal taunt came to him, For money,
not kisses, wins love"
He sent word that he would like to sec
her. The reply came that Ida did not
want him near her. Then the man made
his way to the dressing room, and without
a word of warning slew his tickle mistress
and killed himself. The Texas husband
buried the Maynard wife.

lam Showers In 1855 her life was bright
with promised happiness. The couple
seemed devoted 10 each other, and they
had a fair proportion Of this worlds goods
70 insure contentment- They lived In
Show-rs' hotel, the property OF the groom's
mother. In a few months, however, they
became estranged and occupied separate
rooms. One day the report OF a pistol was
heard, and Showers entering his wife's
apartment, as he claimed, found her dead
with a pistol by her side. Rumorso of muir
der led to his arrest, but sixteen months
later he was acquitted Of the charge OF kill.
ing his wife.
Charles Moore, brother Of the dead WON
an, took an active part in the prosecution
of Showers, and a bitter feud sprang up
between them Moore, who was deputy
circuit clerk, was subsequently charged
with embezzlement The grand jury in
dicted him and he fed the state, This was

the capture OF Moore, who was brought
back from Texas, where he had settled in
business, and placed under 81 200 bail.
Showers swore that he would put the
man in the p"enitentinry; It is even said that
he threatened TO have his life. However that
may be, Showers started for the court
house recently with the Rvowed purpose Of
getting Moore's bond increased. Moore,
armed with a shotgun, saw him in the hall
ofthe court room and without a word killed
him. 1t was claimed that Showers was out
for blood; his pistol, loaded but unlocked.
was found By the side Of his body. Moore
was arrested, OF course, but refused to offer
any plea or excuse for the shooting, which
witnesses aver was lone coolly and DELHI
erately. The Showers family have been

sudden death, and n son committed suicide

n Y. AbhANs MAXI TOBIks
TO DIR. w 7. Bryan, a former partner of DR..
Robinson. An open verdict was returned
at the inquest, although many persons be
lieved the young woman was murdered.
Her father, N. p. Tobin, a tailor Of
Franklin, Pa, firmly believed Mary was
the victim Of foul play. He recently an
nounced that he had accumulated sufficient
evidence to put the rope round the neck Of
her slayer. One night after his declaration
his house was burned down, and Tobin
himself was found dead in the ruins, with
a deep cut in his forehead and ~strangula-
ton marks on his throat. The story was
at once started that Tobin had been muir
dered and his house fired by the slayer Of
his daughter Mary, who feared exposure
and conviction for the former crime.
All manner Of rumors sprang up in sup
port Of this theory, and interest in the
Mary Tobin mystery was revived. DR..
Robinson threw doubts upon the character
OF the unfortunate girl. DR.. Bryan re-
torted and defended the honor OF his sweet
heart. Others who assisted at the autopsy
were not certain whether Mary was foully
dealt with or committed suicide. 1t was
plain from letters written just before her
death that she WAS troubled in mind.
Another ugly rumor was about Mrs.
Tobin, who 1t was alleged did not live hap
PLY with her husband. She was away from
home the night OF the murder, and ex-
pressed her firm belief that Tobin's death
was accidental. A Franklin lady who was
on her way to Newcastle the day after the
tragedy told Of two men on the train who
acted very mysteriously, and whom she
was confident were Tobin's slayers. She
called the attention of the conductor to
them, but be paid no heed TO her suspicious.
The detectives, however. Are now securing
the country for them.
Meanwhile the two towns are divided in
opinion as to whether Tobin was a victim
OF Mary's slayer Qf she was murdered) or
whether he died a accidental death.

Aprofessional humorist said the other
day; There is a great truth about Jokes
which both readers and writers recog-
nize in practice, but do not often formu-
late. 1t is this:
A good joke improves no less with
age than does wine. Once upon a time
there was a famous speaker whose toll
erably bad lecture started off and ended
with two of the most exquisite jokes
ever invented. People Travelled miles
and sat patiently through the same lect-
ure year after year to split their sides
laughing at the same old jokes. After
the effect of the Introductory joke had
worn off there was always perfect ST.
lence until the lecture was three-quar-
tiers done, when the an~ticipations of an
audience which had never been swindled
would begin to break out in gurgling
laughter, mods, winks and whispers Of
ITS comingl" And when at last this
well seasoned old chunk of wit brought
the performance to a close the very roof
was raised.
But n fatal night there was a bad
case of dyspeptic pessimism in a front
seat. 1t is true hat when he roared
chestnut at the first joke the audience
nearly mobbed him, but the lecturers
tender spot was touched. He prepared
a new lecture, which began and ended
with two absolutely fresh jokes. When
the lecturer walked upon the platform
with his new manuscript in his hand he
received an ovation.
The first new joke seemed to stupefy
the people. But a few sentences of the
new lecture woke them up, and they rose
as n man and demanded their money
at the box office. At the next town the
lecturer affixed the old jokes to the new
lecture, and all went so well hat he is
still cracking them with constantly in
~creasing cce ss.-Chicago Mail.

The Apache Indians religious belief
prevents them from committing murder
in the dark. If a dozen Apaches should
discover a man sleeping by his camp fire
at night no amount of money would hire
them to attack him until the sun came
up. They believe that if they kill a man
at night their own souls will walk in
eternal darkness forever. Knowing this
curious superstition, hunters, scouts,
trappers and others travelling through
the Apache nation move about during
the night and lay by in some safe retreat
