The Battleship Texas.
TSnpcial CorresnondenCe.1

NORFOLK, Va, Dec. 5.-The battleship
Texas is rapidly approaching completion,
and will beyond doubt be finished in time
TO take part in the naval rendezvous cele-
bration in Hampton Roads in 1898. She
will in all probability be the newest and
most conspicuous American war vessel in
the review-conspicuous because of the dis
cussion between naval officials alleging
that she would not float if constructed ac-
cording to the English plans. Naval Con-
structor Francis +. Bowles contended that
she would, and she did. The result will be
that the American people and the world
will have the opportunity of seeing afoat
fully equipped, OH the waters of tile Chesa~
peake the vessel which so many famed
authorities on the construction of naval
vessels predicted would not, with her armor
remain abQye water. G.

it is time for the distribution OF glrus,
whether from a tree or not, by letting
the members of the company earn Them
Some one makes a speech, saying that
this rule is to be adopted and inviting
every one to write down what he or she
would prefer to do to earn gifts. Each
will be willing enough to do this, but
will be surprised at being asked to drop
the papers into basket passed around
for that purpose. The papers are shaken
up, and one is drawn by each person, who
must earn a gift by doing as it says.
Christmas fortunes will make another
Bit of fun for the evening. Fortunes
written on papers and put inside some
nutshells, or twisted in motto papers, are
put in a gayly trimmed lace or silken
stocking Each pulls ont paper, which
he is compelled to read before the rest.
If Santa Claus is introduced to give
out presents in any gathering he can be
assisted by four or six children dressed
as Christmas fairies in white, trimmed
with evergreens, and white wings. They
take the gifts from Santa Claus and
carry them to the recipients Other
pretty costumes can be devised for
children, whether there are elaborate
exercises or not. Those who sing
in the "waits" can be dressed as
''music," with bars of music drawn or
painted on the edge of the dresses or
cloalxs and all sorts Of musical signs
scattered over them. If all the children
are dressed as Christmas bells, simply
by having tiny brass bells fastened to
their shoulders and wrists or anywhere
on the edge of their clothing, the bells
will fill the rooms with pleasant sounds
suited to the season.
Any recitations or songs about Christ
mas bells can be given. Acted poems of
holiday times or winter scenes, with
selections read by some person hidden
from view, are enjoyable. One scene
could show the group in Whittier's
"Snow Bound" or scenes from Dickens
"Christmas Carol" could be arranged.
There are many Christmas stories and
poems which cannot be mentioned here,
but which appear at holiday times and
can be used according to individual
tastes; also many educational and juve-
nile periodicals have little exercises and
plays for Christmas time.

it and gives out the presents. A hamper
or box trimmed with imitation snow
and evergreens will do in place of the
trunk, if more available.
As tree is specially for the children.
it would add to the scene if all the little
Juveniles were trained to sing in chorus
in imitation of the old time Christmas
sswaits." Any Christmas pieces that
they know or can easily learn may be
used. The singing can begin in some
distant room, becoming louder as the
door is opened, and growing still louder
as the children near the room where the
tree stands. They may remain in the
next room in sight of the tree and the
rest of the company until the song is
done, and then, as the children in the
old sswaits" were rewarded, they may
have their presents from the tree. The
plan of having this graduated music is
always pleasing, and will be- especially
in keeping with holiday times.
Much amusement will be caused when

sons of the gentry, who found employ

DR.. BRADFORD RETURNS.

MUEyANE, Kan, Oct. 27.-lSpecial. I'm
July, 1891, the people of Mulvane and sur
rounding country were startled by the
astounding information that Dr. Bradford
had suddenly disappeared. DR.. Bradford
was a widower living four miles east of
Mulvane with two Children boy and a
girl.
1t seems that on July z, 1891, the doctor
left home, 0stensibly to purchase three
bushels of apricots. Failing to return in
a reasonable length Of time, the supposi-
tion became prevalent that be had gone to
Missouri to look after some property in
terests. Time went by and the missing
man did not return. Inquiry proved that
he had not been seen at the place in Mis-
souri, where his property interests were
located.
In April, 1892. the people of this COM
munity were again startled and likewise
amused, at the sensational item published
in the daily press of the country, detailing
an account of Dr. Bradford's disappear
ance. The rehashed story contained an
item supposed to account for the absence
of the doctor It stated that he had dis
posed of some property belonging to his
deceased wife, for which he had given
deed, but which his wife had never signed.
If he could not be found, il is said. his
children could sue aud recover the
property.
But sensational items, and the most
diiigent search for the man, failed to re-
veal even the faintest trace of him.
Now, after a period of year and a half
of mysterious absence, the doctor has sud-
denly turued up among his children. but
Asy tnot hing can be learned as to the cause
OF disa appearance or his whereabouts dur
ing that period. After he left his children
took up their residence with JOHN Hen
derson, who now lives near Langston, .. T.
Joseph Martin, young man direct
from GuthIie, o. T., came to Mulvane
A,hworth east of town. Mr. Martin
called at the Mulvane Graphic office yes
terday morning and gaze detailed ac-
count of the reappearsnce of the long lost
and much sought after doctor. He says
that he saw DR.. Bradford last Saturday
and talked with him. The doctor would
vouchsafe no information rs to his where
abouts during his long absence
Miss Nettie Bradford, the daughter of
the DOCTOR still makes her home with the
Henderson family at Langston, o. T., and
that was the scene of the reappearance.
He put in his appearance at the Hender-
son home on Tuesday, October IS, and.
So AIR. Martin thinks. he surely travelled
on foot, rs no one saw him leave the train.
He was we'll dressed and carried n couple
of grips with him. The doctor has as yet
uttered no word TO eulighten his friends
but when he does speak, doubtless Null
vane's great mystery will be cleared
away. The public will await with eager
ness for further news.

A MURDER MYSTERY.
A Wealthy Recluse Pound in His Library
With His Head Split Open.

CHICAGO, Oct. 27.-Ernest Kunneth, an
aged and wealthy recluse, was today found
sitting at desk in the library of his home
at Melrose, a suburb of Chicago. with his
head split open, dead. The murder re-
sembles the noted Smell murder somewhat.
Kunneth was German capitalist, and
lived by himself. He had an excellent
reputation. and was a warm hearted,
genial man. He always kept consider
able amount of money in the house. but
none of it was touched. It is known that
the crime was not committed for the pur-
pose OF robbery, but to gain possession of
some documents which the old man had in
his possession. A box containing these
papers was the only thing carried away.
/ The weapon with which the murder was
committed was huge corn knife, which
was found in the kitchen. The victims
head had been split open from the crown
to the eyebrows. Upon table in the
library stood bottle of gin and glasses
Two chairs were facing that in which the
blood -st aimed corpse was found, showing
that two men must have been with Kun
meth when the deed was done. Two half
smoked pipes were lying near the bottle
of gin. Around the house, where search
for the tin box was made, were the marks
of CORY hands and of feet wet with blood.
The bloody tracks of feet were plainly to
be discerned upon the front steps of the
house. along the garden walk to the gate,
but there they separated going in opposite
directions.
There is one clue to the murder. Mrs.
George Johns, q neighbor of Kunneth's,
saw him last night in company with
a strange German, shabbily dressed, who
had been hanging around the village all
day. He claimed to be from the same
town in Germany as Kunneth ard they be-
came very friendly. They We're seen by Mrs.
Johns to enter the old mans home, and
that was the last time he was seen alive.
The tin box contained ali the deeds to
the old mans property, notes and mort
cages, and valuable papers involving the
title Of an estate in Wurtemburg, Germany,
in which he was interested. kunneth
said some months ago that certain parties
(who names he did not give) were endeav-
oring to obtain these papers from him, but
that he had declined to give them up.
