AP-TIrloN FOR GRAVES. Ss



tence COMMITTED.
CANON CITY, Col, Jan. 14.--Dr. Graves
was quite cheerful yesterday. Through
the intercession of friends he was excused
from having his hair and whiskers re-
moved. He was not compelled to wear
the striped suit of the prison.
The regulation death watch has not yet
been placed on his cell, and will not be
unless the Supreme Court refuses to
grant the doctors motion for another
trial.
The doctor speaks confidently of an
early release, and says he could not live
if he thought he had to stay here long.
Every effort is being made to hurry the
action of the Supreme Court, and it is ex-
pected that an early decision will be rem
dered in the motion for new trial.
There is talk now Il getting up mon
ster petition to the Governor, asking him
to commute the sentence of DR.. Graves.
Pressure has been brought to bear from
several points, and when the time is ripe
all forces will be united, and executive
clemency will be sought.
Governor Routt is kind-hearted, poll
tic man, and one likely to meet the re
quests of the people, provided the appeal
to his humanity is general.
Reports from all points in the State
show general change of opinion in the
last ten days. Never before in the his
tory of Colorado has a murder trial ex
cited so much interest as that of Graves
The women of the State have now taker
tie matter up, and sympathy for the con
dcmned man is spreading.

the European crew of the ship, were
drowned.
news of the wreck of the Namchow to
Hong Kong. 1t appears that the pro-
peller shaft of the Namchow snapped in
two while that vessel was plunging in a
heavy sea, the regulators not having
power enough to control the shaft while
the propeller was whirling out of water
during head plunge.
When the shaft was carried away the
sea rushed into the shaft alley, which,
with that part of the stern of the vessel
from which the shaft protruded, was
badly damaged by the accident. The
water quickly made it's way into the hold.
The steam pumps were put to work but
guished by the rising water, they were
soon useless, and the Namchow began to
settle down.
When the first signs of danger became
known there was terrible panic among
the 800 or 400 Chinese passengers on
board, The European officers did every
thing possible to allay the fears of the
passengers, but in vain.
The Chinese acted more like a lot OF
raving maniacs let loose than like human
beings in their senses. They crowded

Almost q Catastrophe, But It Turned Out

Mems pockets exert q strange fascina-
ton upon women. Many and many a
quarrel has been precipated upon
quiet and trustful household by the
wife, in an inquisitive mood, thrusting
her fingers into the pockets of the coats
or waistcoats dangling from the nails
of wardrobe. She finds card, let
ter, bit of golden hair, or some little
gewgaw of feminine apparel, and green
eyed jealousy Immediately takes pos

the twain betake them to a sharp
detective, who is instructed to work up
the case. Maude is engaged to Joseph
Burleigh, called "Burly Joe" at the
athletic clubs, where he is known as a
good all-round man-which is Greek to
me. While Maude and Joe were pur-
suing the phantom of loves young
dream in the back parlor, Maude, wo-
man-ike, began rummaging in Joe's
coat pockets. She criticised his hand
kerchief and the perfume he used;
she commented upon his cigarette
case and match box, and asked the
use to which each key in the bunch
was put. At last it occurred to her
| that she hadn't had her little fingers
in Joe's right-hand vest pocket, and
so down into its depths they were
/ thrust incontinently. There was sud-
den start, a deeper grab, a drawing
forth and holding aloft-what think
you? Why, half dozen as dainty little
silver hair pins as were ever thrust into
Grecian coil. Now, as Maude's hair
was black as night and she naturally
affected gilt pins, it was impossible for
Joe to claim that he had bought them
for her, so, turning all colors, he stam-
mered out the real truth of the matter,
that he didn't know and couldn't tell
how the silver pins came in his vest
pocket. Maude refused to believe him;
they had been bought for some other
girl. some horrid thing with taffy -col-
ored tresses. She appealed to him to
make clean breast of it, promising to
forgive him if he told her the whole
truth. Suddenly Joe caught his weep

HOMEMADE FILTERS.
A simple Apparatus for Purifying Drink
ing Water.

A simple Apparatus for Purifying Drink
ing Water.
There is always a use for a filter in
every househord, however sweet and
clear the water may be. Even though
unapparent to the eye, there are apt to
be small, unsavory particles in the
purest water, and the use of even a
common charcoal filter will eliminate
these. Charcoal, especially that made
from the burning of animal bones, is
the very best material for filtering.
Foulest ditch-water percolating through
it will come forth clear and sweet as
the product of a spring in a mountain.
Animal charcoal will not only remove
disagreeable gaseous smells, but will
also destroy all animal life in water;
but wood charcoal will perform all the
duties of deodorizing and clarifying. In
cities where the water supply is of a
suspicious character, filters are almost
a necessity, and there are many manu-
featured ones that serve their purpose
admirably; but they are excellent, and
even in many cases essential, in the
country, where wells and springs are
the source of supply. A very, good
filter. which is warranted to serve
it's purpose fully, can be made by
any ordinary handy worker in com
mon tools, out of material that usually
lies close at hand. One to be used
when water does not run from faucets
in the house can be made in the follow
ing manner: Take a wooden box, three
feet high and a foot square, open at the
top with shelf about a foot from the
bottom. Place a common stone jar on
this shelf and rest a f1ower-pot in the
mouth of the jar. Let there be hole
neatly made in the bottom of the jar,
into which fit faucet, if possible but
if not, insert cork from beneath. In
the hole at the bottom of the flower-pot
place a sponge, and large sponge at the
top of the jar in the opening, and lay a
thin piece of muslin over this sponge.
Then into the jar put layer of clean,
white sand (river sand is the BEST,
| three or four quarts will be enough. On
| it put about the same quantity of pull
verified charcoal (animal, if possible),
and finish at the top of the jar with
about a quart of small pebbles. Under
the shelf, with the corked hole of the
| jar Immediately over it's mouth, rests
| the pitcher which is to receive the fl
| tered water. Pour the water into the
| flower pot and the process of filtration
at once begins. The flower-pot should be
cleaned once or twice a week, as it re-
ceives the coarse material in the water,
| but the jar needs no attention oftener
than once or twice year. This is an
excellent, easy and very cheap style of
| filter. Water, it should be known, can
easily he kept cool without ice, by en-
folding the earthen pitcher or jar which
receives it in three folds of cotton or
linen cloth, kept constantly wet. N. Y.

PREFERRED HUSBAND HOME.


End in the Usual Forgiveness.
RED BANK, N. j., Jan. 1.-THE quiet
village of Middletown is treated to q
sensation in the form of romantic
elopement. Miss Laura Belize Van
Kirk, the pretty daughter of Charles
Van Kirk, II farmer, has eloped with
Frank Lamb, a young Engllshman, who
was employed by her father.
Last Wednesday Lambs term of en-
ployment was up, and he left the place.
A few days later Miss Van Kirk told hel
parents that she was going to visit hel
aunt at South Amboy. Nothing further
was thought of the matter until Mr.. and
Mrs. Lamb returned to Middletown with
their marriage certificate.
The bride related the romance of hel
runaway marriage to her parents while
her husband remained outside. Mrs
Lambs parents were willing to receive
her back into the household, but EN-
phatically vowed that Lamb would no
be allowed to put his foot across thei
threshold.
Mrs. Lamb then asked for her clothing
which was given her and she then joined
her husband and the couple walked
away.
Mr.. and Mrs. Van Kirk do not know
the present whereabouts of their daughtel
