Chapman will be the candidate at the pri.

decide to fight him for the nomination as
he did before, The Prohibitionists say in
the event OF Stillwell defeating Chapman
for the nomination, they will run Editor
Phelps, OF the Review, on an independant
ticket, he having intimated that he would
accept the nomination under these nir-
cumstances. The Democrats are laying

Tho yaiuS of Local Expression.

Let us not say too much against local pc
culiarities of expression or idioms in en-
bryo. They are the life of the language
II it had not been for the facility of the
English in taking up and giving the au-
thority of usage to these odd phrases, many
of which are Illogical, incorrect, intrinsic
ally ridiculous, we should have a dead,
formal speech like the Spanish, or pretty
and graceful but fatally unelastic tongue
like the French. 1t is not desirable that ali
Anglo-Saxon nations should speak Eng
ltsh exactly alike or that New England
should talk just like South Dakota. Let
us thank heaven for the pleasing diversity
of speech that we still have on this big
continent and pray that the time will be
long in coming when schoolmasters shall
have succeeded in running us all into one
unlovely mold!--Boston Transcript.

ATE IAElR eAeY slsTEa
A CofcSed Infant Butsbered with /.
Az and Then Roasted.

T1FToN, Ga, Feb. 24.--Lucy Presi-
dent, degraded and idiotic negro
woman, living near Rays mill, recently
left her home and 9-months-old girl in
charge of her two older children, Mark
and Linder, aged respectively II and
years. She went TO the house of Mr.. J.
A. knight, two miles distant, to attend
TO some work.
After her departure, It seems that
Mark resolved upon putting the infant
out of the way. He told his sister, and
at the same time said to her that il she
told on him he would kill her. Procur-
ing an ak, he went to where the infant
was and deliberately knocked IL in the
head and mangled it's body. He then
took fork and gouged out the eyes of
the little one. He roasted the body,
and taking a slice from either Jaw he
and his sister sat down TO feast. Al
though they live in abject poverty, it is
hardly reasonable that they were driven
to such eXtremities through excessive
hunger. 1t was said that on being
asked If he really ate the eyes and laws
of the infant, the little fend replied:
YES, sab, me did, and it was dood.
When the mother returned and found
what had been done she did not show
the least sign Of maternal grief. On
the contrary, she went TO, the residence
OF some white people near by and told
them, with grin suggestive Of the inn
beetle, that her baby was dead.

There is but one shop window outside of
the jewelry line that holds its attractive

window Of the sporting goods establish
ment. In midwinter or midsummer, snow,
rain, mud or dust, the big windows on
Broadway that display fishing tackle, shot
guns, boxing gloves, foils and other equip
ments of the all around sportsman have
their sidewalk friends. Half grown boys
and gray haired men stand side by side
and gaze upon the bass and trout rods,
take mental note of the flies and reels and
hooks and lines, and sigh-the boy visit

the tender memories Of past piscatorial tri-
umphs.
There Is a close community of feeling
among the casual knots of these window
gazers-a sort Of fellowship observable no
where else. Conversation is admissible.
Strangers talk with each other without re-
straint or suspicion. The cold rules Of
metropolitan social life relax before the
gun and camp equipage. Just for the mo-

Remarknble Forbearance OF q Mother.

My friend, Mrs. Mitchell, and were
going out to pay some calls. On reaching
her house found she was not yet ready,
and went up stairs to her room at her in
vitation to wait there for her. AS she was
combing her hair glanced out of the win
dow and saw her young son climbing a
tree and in very precarious situation. l
called Mrs MS attention to this, and she
put her head out Of the window and
shrieked; "Henry, get down out of that
tree Immediately. You will fall and break
your limbs"
Her dutiful offspring looked at her as
she stood there with head projecting be-
yond the easement, and then yelled back,
"Put your head in that window, you old
juke necked turkey buzzard."
listened to this in Mortified amazement,
and waited to see what my friend would do
about it, but, to my further standardization,
she serenely went on combiug her hair, and
evidently was going to take no further
notice of her sons rejoinder. So blurted
out; "Why, Ellen Mitchell! Do you allow
your children to talk to you in that man
ner?"
"Anna," she rejoined, turning upon me
with great dignity, my children know
they can go just so far with me and nc
farther. ."-Cor. New York Sun.

Barleyoung were taken up from their
resting place in the Catholic cemetery.

ALLIANCE NEWS.
ALLIANCE, Feb. 2

ALLIANCE, Feb. "a.
John Kinney, baggage master on the
Cleveland q Pittsburg railroad for fifteen
years and who was in charge Of baggage
car on the express train when Blinkey
Morgan and his gang killed Detective
Hulligan and rescued the prisoners in the
officers charge, five years ago, Is insane
from fear. Kinney has often told his
friends that he believed some day they
would find him dead on the car or on the
streets, the victim of the vengeance OF
Blinkey Morgan's pals. His testimony in
the trial of Morgan at Ravenna, was to
the point and very damaging to Morgan,
and was one of the principal points made
against him. His friends have often
tried to talk him out of this notion
but 1t seems to no purpose. Yesterday
morning he went into tho baggage room
of the Union depot at Cleveland and be-
gan making preparations to leave on his
run, the morning mail train from Cleve-
land. All at once he dropped down on
floor and crawling under table began to
call for help, saying, "They are after me.
My God help me boys, they will kill me-"
Several of the men In the room dragged
him out from under the table and attempt.
ed to quiet him, but In vain, he seemed to
think his comrades were Blinkey Nor
gan's friends and wanted TO kill him, and
an awful fight was the result. 1t took the
united strength Of four men to overpower
him. He was taken TO the sheriif's office
and given into his custody for commit
ment to the asylum, as all saw his mind
was completely shattered by constant
brooding over the fate that he believed
would one day surely overtake him.
While the sheriff was making
out the papers, Kinney jumped
up and run from the room into the street
before anyone could grab him. The sheriff
started after him, but up to last evening
could find no trace of the man, and II ia
feared he will commit suicide. Kinney is
well-known in this city.

Smith and his wife have every luxury
that money can buy, but there Is one
thing lacking to their happiness. Both
nre fond of children, but no little voices
prattle, no little feet patter in their
beautiful home. "I would give ten
years of my life if could have one
healthy, living, child of my own," Smith
often says to himself. No woman can
be the mother of healthy offspring un-
less she herself Is in good health. If she
suffers from female weakness, general
debility, bearing-down pains and func-
tional arrangements, her physical con-
dition Is such that she cannot hope to
have healthy children. DR.. Pierce's

N. j. TrOd 5 Second Matrimonial Ex-
perience
Results In About the Same Way as His
Former ons--His Second Wife Leaves
Him,

N. j. Trodo's ventures in the matrimon-
ial field do not appear to be very success
full. Last evening his new wife whom he
welded few months ago sent him
word to come and get his clothes for their
relations as husband and wife were at an
end. A NEWS DEMOCRAT reporter called
upon Mrs. Trodo this afternoon and
found her busy moving her household
goods from their late residence to the
home of her mother on Pennsylvania
avenue.
She declined to be interviewed, but ad-
mitted that separation had ensued and
that she had told Mr.. Trodo to come and
get his clothes.
She impressed the reporter with the
idea however that she would not live with
her husband although she said she was
not ready to tellthe cause.

PurIoining Electricity.

ST. LOUIS, Feb. 24.-Im a criminal
case here, brought by the Municipal
Electric Light and Power company, cleo
tricity was alleged to have been stolen
by bridging wires entering the store be-
fore the wires entered the meter. The
point was raised that electricity cannot
be stolen, inasmuch as to steal there
must be transportation, which is inn
possible in the case of electricity, as It
is not in any wise under control, and
therefore not the goods, property OF
effects of anyone. Judge Claiborne
abruptly adjourned the case until he
could thoroughly investigate the mat
ter.

joyable time. Dancing, card playing and
refreshments helped to make the evening
one of pleasure. zimmerman's orchestra
