Interesting Late Dispatches by
Telegraph and Cable.
A Villain Makes a Mother Kill
Her Own Son.

One of the most dramatic tragedies ever
at the village of FL Rito. New Mexico. Rod
ergo Martinez was stabbed to the heart by
his mother, who, on realizing what she had
done, cut her own throat. The chain OF
events which led to this tragic denouement
seems more like the creation of an magma
tive novelist than the facts which they un-
fortunately are.
The william in this drama of real life was
George Hallston, who fell in love with
beautiful young woman who was betrothed
to Rodsrigo Martinez. While pretending to
be the friend of Roderigo he secretly made
love to the girl. She refused to listen TO
Hallston's protests Of love-
Martinez having left home en- a visit, Hall
ston told his mother that he had been asSas-
sinated in Mexico. He then wrote to Mar
t1nez that his sweetheart was married and
his mother dead, thinking by these means
to keep the young man away and leave the
coast clear for him to renew the woO!ng or
the young woman.
Martinez however, returned to find that
his sweetheart was unmarried and his mother
alive. Frustrated in his first plan, Hallstou
then pursuaded Martinez to give his mother
a surprise by visiting her in disguise. Mean
while he ran to the mothers house and told
her he would bring the slayer of her son
to her in few minutes. and she should Kill
the rascal.
When Roderigo entered the enraged old
woman stabbed him to the heart. A mo-
ment later she found her mistake, and raving
mad, she cut her throat.
The betrothed sprang at Hallston with
dagger, intending to avenge the deaths OF
her lover and his mother, but he darted away
and escaped.

Berry, the Notorious British Jack
Ketch, Resents Interference.
Berry, the British hangman of world
wide reputation, has resigned because he
was ordered by prison doctor to change
the length of the drop Berry maintained
that his long experience was worth more than
all the doctors theory, aud would not obey
the order. When Informed that be must
change the length of the drop or resign he
promptly resigned. he says he will travel
in the United States and Great Bcitain, an
give lectures in oil the large cities on
criminals and their last hours as he has OBJ
served them in his many years expert
ence.
With regard to his professional career
there are two points on which Berry espe-
cially prides himself. These are the having
secured the abolition of the steps that form
erly led to the scaGold, and which he claims
inflicted unnecessary suffsrings upon Grim
inals and the addition Of spring to prevent
the rebounding of the flaps OF the scaffold.
Personally, Berry is strong opponent o,
capital punishment, and expresses the hope
that he may live to see it abolished.

when 90 Breed.

1t is going the rounds of our exchanges
that a SOW should be bred as often az she
will breed. to attain the best success,
saying that a SOW will couple in three to
ave days after narrowing, and that she
should be bred at this time, reasoning
that If allowed to run too long without
being bred she will. by laying on too
much fat, injure her breeding qualities.
We don't know by whom this doctrine
was started, but certainly by some one
short in that commodity known as ex-
perience.
/ A SOW bred at this time cannot suckle
her pigs more than six weeks, and it is
very doubtful If she should for this
length Of time without detriment to her
self and her coming litter ANY one
knows that an average farmer cannot
succeed well with pigs weaned at six
weeks old. Men Of experience also know
that SOW must have a period of rest
between litters or else she will soon fail
A SOW may bring two or three filters of
paying numbers bred in this way, but
afterward, unless rested, she is liable to
become an utter failure. Nebraska

mouth full of grass and held it near his

and eating on his own account he re-
peated the maneuver. and | then called
in the other members Of my family to

take about it; the horse who could reach

Several hypercritical fauit-fnders
are severely censuring Senator Hill
because he accepted bottleof whisky
from an admiring democrat, though
he claims to be 'teetotaller,' and
promised to keep it as souvenir Of
the trip, lacking the moral courage to
refuse the gift. The trouble with
some Of these critics is, that il by any
inexplicable chance they happen to be
devoted to life Of temperance they
might lack the moral courage to re-
tain bottle intact long enough to
make it of any value as souvenir.
It requires more courage to refuse
to enjoy what is in ones possession
than it does to thrust it aside before
temptation can possibly assail.

Form and Color Of: the VOICE.

MIS-. Watts Hughes, of England, has
invented an instrument called the .seido-
phon," which shows. SO to speak, the
shape Of the human voice. You sing
into the eidophon and your voice vibra-
tions are copied upon an exceedingly deli
cate surface. The pictures Of these vibra-
tions that have come to us on this side Of
the Atlantic resemble, as truth compels
one to say, the figure Of half tolerably
fair shaped oyster shell. Maybe it Is
owing to the fact that mankind has been
swallowing this delicious bivalve so
many centuries. Even before recorded
history there were pan roasts.
More interesting still, perhaps, is the
study Of the color Of various sounds.
That is to say. certain persons are sc
sensitively organized that when a sound
suddenly bursts near them glimpse OF
this color or that suddenly flashes before
their eyes. Thus, If young man was
behind with his board bill and sat in his
room peacefully smoking and dreaming
Of future delights, and his landlady
should all at once break into his privacy
and his dreams with demand that he
pay up or get out, the emotion Of right
eous wrath on her part would most
likely give to her voice tone color that
would paint things red before the youths
eyes,

Sir !. Newton thought that light pro,
duced on the eye an effect similar to
that made by sound ON the ear, and
therefore sensitive nervous organizations
perceived colors from sounds. OF the
colors Of different sounds the following
table has been made:
Wind Instruments = Trombone. deep red,
scarlet; clarinet, orange: oboe. yell

The FIRE in the capitol building at
Washington on Tuesday night, which
caused the destruction of a number of
volumes estimated to be worth $l5,-
900, might as easily have resulted in
inestimable and irreparable loss: and
it is especially significant in view of
the fact that this was the third fire in
the building during the present ses-
sion of Congress, and the fifth within
recent years. Another fact worth
noting was that when the watchmen
sought to combat the flames they
found the hose too short. Evidently
it is time for rigid system of fire pa
trol,in the capitol, and for the pur-
chase Of additional sections Of hose
sufficient to reach to every portion Of
the building.
