WAS SLAIN BY \ BOY
Thomas Hayden's Murderer
 Only 16 Years Old.
THE LAD MAKES A CONFESSION.
He Appa-en ly Does Not Rsalz' the Enormity of His Orims.

The Mystery Surrounding the Killing of
 Mrs PotGer's Shipping Clerk in Newark
 Quickly Cleared Up-Nearly S4O0 Or the
 Stolen Money Recovered-Alden FaIes,
 the Murderer, Comes of Family of
 Criminals.
 NEWARK, N. J., May 4.-The murderer of Thomas Hayden. the shipping clerk in Mrs Potter's hat factory on Mulberry street, Newark, was arrested by Supt. Brown last night. His name is Alden Tales, 16 years of age, who resided with his widowed mother at 29 Sixth avenue. He was employed in the factory up to within two weeks of last Saturday, when he committed the crime.
 His father committed suicide about six months ago. and he has four younger brothers and an elder sister living in this city. He is 8 nephew of Alonzo and Spencer Egbert, who were sentenced to State's prison last June for a railroad job at Wachung.
 At that time young Fales, pressed by his mother, gave the police valuable in- formation relative to their doings. His mother excused her attitude against her brothers by saying: "They are thieves and want them taken care of. My only fear is that they will lead my boy in the same path"
 The prisoner made 8 full written con fession to the superintendent and chief, and handed over $395 of the stolen money, saying he would cause the police no trouble. He also related to the re- porters and commissioners the details oi his awful crime, apparently not realiz ing it's enormity.

Marrying for Profit.

The Kansas man about whom the To- peka Capital tells the following story is not the only one of his species that has found marrying for profit poor policy: "A certain farmer, so runs the tale, inn agining that he would make money out of it, married him a wife. Then he caused her to do the cooking and the washing for half-dozen hired hands. He also referred to her the small jobs, like cutting wood, milking the COW, herding the hogs and tending the poul- try. This farmer made money. But one of his boys went to Texas and one went to the penitentiary, and his girl ran away with man who peddled gro ceries. His useful wife had a front room in the insane asylum, and there is a place prepared for the farmer to which he will shortly go. The story plainly teaches that farmer should be careful when he gets married"

ONE of the questions which is agitat- ing Paris just at present, is whether a druggist is justified in declining to fill the prescription of a physician which he believes to have been in ignorance of the dangerous character of the drug pre- scribed or in which mistake has been made as to the proper dose. The doc- tors hold that it is the druggists duty to fill the prescription and permit the patient to be killed, secundem artem, leaving the responsibility with the pre- scribing physician. The druggists are in doubt.

THE scene which the exposition grounds at Chicago afford, with most of the buildings nearing completion and the construction being pushed forward by more than 5000 workmen, is accounted so interesting and wonderful that from 1000 to 5000 visitors a day willingly pay the admission fee of twenty-five cents to witness it. Before the abolition of the free pass system, the visitors often numbered as high as 15,0OO or 2O,- 900. The work of construction was in- terfered with, so that it was thought best to charge an admission and thus diminish the size of the crowd of sight seers and at the same time add to the financial resources of the exposition.

Chicago This Time-S0nSaG1On0l AG-
 tempt of Member.
 CHICAGO, May 4.-If the story of An drew Rudman is to be believed Chicago has a full l-fiedged suicide society, two members of which attempted to take their own lives last night. One, Joseph Kraker, went quietl yto Douglas Park, put a bullet through his brain and dropped dead. The other, Rudman himself, tried to add little sensation to his taking off, and is still alive and un- injured.
 He began by stealing $50, with which he purchased a revolver. He then called on his sweetheart, Eva Dressler, shot at her without effect, chased her father around the block, firing as he ran, sent a couple of bullets through the front door as the perspiring parent reached the house, shot at a crowd of small boys, shot at his own heed and missed, and finally wound up by sending a ball through the coat of 8 policeman, who arrested him.
 He confessed his connection with the suicide club, of which Kraker was alst a member.

MANS greatest enemy is his appetite. This applies equally as well to woman. When this appetite asserts itself it very often brings about disastrous conse- quences. A woman in Georgia, it is re- lated in asouthern exchange, quenched a longing for eggs and buttermilk by eat ing, at one meal, two dozen hard-boiled eggs and gallon of buttermilk "She died in great agony three days later"

THE past year will long be memorable in our history for it's enormous produc- ton in the necessaries of life and mate rials of manufacture. In nearly every article of agriculture or manufacture this country has produced in the twelve months past more than in any previous year. This of itself is not surprising statement, for as our population in- creases it must have more clothing to wear, more iron and steel to build with, and more food to eat; but the remark able fact in the present situation is that in the majority of our industries Amer ica has this year produced more than was needed, and more than could im- mediately be used.

AN Ohio man has recently exhibited more cheek than was usually possessed by the much-abused government mule. Simeon Sneaker, of Salineville, has filed with an attorney peculiar claim for a pension. It seems that Simeon was drafted in 1863, but, like many others, he sent substitute, paying him three hundred dollars. The substitute was killed, and now his widow gets twelve dollars per month pension. Scheckler is of the opinion that his three hundred dollars purchased the substitute out and out, and gave the right to pension in return for the three hundred dollars Hence he has filed with Salineville attorney claim that he be at least given half of the twelve dollars per month which his substitutes widow now receives.

WHEN man begins to tell story about fish he is at once labeled as a. well, as story teller. This is not a fish story but a chicken story that comes all the way from Colorado. A chicken fancier was troubled exceedingly by the propensity of his brood to scratch up his garden, so he set to work to solve the problem of prevention. After elab- crate experiment, he succeeded in cross ing breed of long-legged brahmas with short-legged bantams in such a way that the chickens had one long leg and one short one. When they att tempted to scratch they lost their bal ance and fell over, which, after few trials, was sufficient to show that scratching was impossible, and they gave it up.

few weeks negotiating for the purchase
of site for building for this great
paper and the requirement of the requi-
site plant.
Negotiations were opened with the
proprietor of Democratic daily, but
they were not closed, owing TO the fact
that the owner of the sheet persiStently
raised the price on the would-be pur-
chasers just when the deal was about
to be closed. AS natural consequence.
all negotiations were dropped, and the
result will be that Mr.. Pulitzer will
essay in the city of Chicago repe-
tition of his success in the New York
newspaper business. 1t is not def
nitely known whether Mr.. Pulitzer has
Succ 1eded in obtaining suitable site
on which to erect his new newspaper
building" Another afternoon paper
