DEEMING'S DARK DEEDS.
HOW HE MURDERED HIS RAINHILL
FAMILY.
The Most Cool, Calculating Villain That
Any Country Ever Produced-He Was
an Expert Butcher-A Strong Guard
Kept Over Him Day and Night.

LIVERPOOL, March 29.-Dr. Hutchin.
son, one of the medical men who con-
Quoted the post mortem examination
OH the bodies of Mrs. Deemin0 and her
four children, found buried under the
floor at Denham villa, Rainhill,
said to representative of the
Associated Press: "The crime disclosee
calculating wickedness and cool heartless
savagery almost beyond belief, The
murder was the work of an expert. Only
in one case was the stroke causing death
more than sufficient for the purpose.
Each stroke severed vital organs, and
no more might have been &C.
complished by surgeon or a
butcher who knew his business well.
The mother and children had partaken
of the evening meal. The mother was
fret called into the room where the

that as she stopped to unite her shoe
she was attacked from behind and
died almost without a struggle.
Then the children were called, one by
one, to meet their death. Bertha, the
eldest, had her thumbs tied behind her
back. A similar bandage was wound
twice around her head go as to cover her
mouth and keep her from crying.
A pillowcase was placed over her head
and the murderer strangled her. The
hands of the second girl were also tied
behind her back, but in the case of the
other children this precaution was not
thought necessary. :
zone other significant and sinister
fact is that on none Of the bodies OF
clothing was there trace ol
blood. The very terms of the
lease upon which Deeming hired
the Dinham villa gave proof oi
hideous cold-blooded, premeditated
butchery. The document, which was
drawn up and written by Deeming him

the atrocious brutality was planned.
Taken altogether, it is believed nc

conscienceless villain as this fiend il

ters nothing to the English consumer
whether seal skins are obtained
from Canadians or Americans. 1.-The
controversy only concerns semi

disputes. We are obliged to fight

WASHINGTON, March 29.-The Ellis
island investigation by the joint senate
and house committees on immigration,
today, was marked by animation and
tartness. Chairman Chandler in ques-
tioning Assistant Secretary of the Treas:
ury Nettleton sought to place upon
him the responsibility for the policy by
which the department of immigration
spent money for improvements at Ellis
island. Nettleton resented this. Chand
Ter then went go far as to charge Nettle-
ton with making false statements, and
Nettleton resented in strong language.
A still more Sensational turn was
given the investigation shortly after.
when General Nettleton, to show the
feeling in the interior department, in
troduced letter addressed to Secre-
tary Foster by hlmsolf, March 2S, de-
nouncing w. D. Owen, superintendent
of immigration, declaring that he was
prepared to .substantiate his charges,
and asking the secretary of the treas
ury and the president to act on them.
The charges are:
First-Owen is unfit and incompetent
to perform the duties of the position
WllcQ ne nOlQS. .s -fu
Second-He is thoroughly untrust-
worthy in the performance of his official
duties.
Third-He has been guilty Of circulat-
ing malicious ISLANDERS against his supe-
rior officers in the department.
Fourth-His ideas of official regulari-
ty and integrity are reckless and a
source of serious risk to the public
funds practically within his control.
In substantiation General Nettleton
enclosed documents showing that the
lowest bids for furnishing instru-
ments for the hospital, clothing, drugs,
hardware, etc, for the medical depart
ment of the immigrant service at New
York, transmitted February 22d by
United States Commissioner of Immi.
grafton Weber, amounted to 1928; that
February Gath Owen sent to Nettleton
for his signature letter to Weber ac'
cepting all bids, aggregating $16l9
which Nettleton, relying on him, signed
and did not discover what had beer
| done till he went to New York some
days later.
owen denied having circulated any
slanderous reports about Nettleton, ant
said he was not responsible for irregu
larities in the voucher referred to.

Getting the Most of Life.

In late discourse on the art of
lengthenins our existence, DR.. E5stein,
Of Goet5ingen, stated that the natural
average duration of life appears to be
from serenity to seyenty-ive years. In
women it is somewhat greater than in
men. Among children the mortality is
great, especially during the first year;
but the death rate is small from the age
of puberty until the fftieth year, becom-
ing greater each year thereafter. Too
great old age is a questionable blessing,
the desirable limit being that which is
attained without bitter breaking down
and suffering. The first condition Of
long life is descent from parents physi-
cally and mentally sound. Suitable
maternal care of the child is of next i'm
portance, then comes the school and
military training for increasing the nat
ural powers of resistance, while in adj
vancing life proper activity must not be
overlooked. "Temperance and work.
were correctly prescribed by Moltke as
the best means of reaching good old
age. Many deaths are due to accidental
injuries; Others result from so-called
constitutional illness, which may be
combatted; and many more from con-
tagious diseases, which may be in some
measure avoided. Little progress has
been made in the art Of lengthening life.
Different eras have brought different de-
tails, but the common principles of long
life remain substantially the same, and
the average attainable age has become no
greater.-Trenton (N. ~ Amerjcun.

POULTRY HOUSE CLEANING,

Before going into the winter quarters
the chickens should all be turned out of
the poultry house and a thorough clean
ING and renOvating OF the place should
be Attempted. 1t is in the winter time
that eggs bring their high prices, and
the fowls that can be induced to lay
heavily then will be more than profitable.
They can only do this, however, where
clean, sanitary poultry houses are fitted
up for their comfort. Fall cleaning of
the house IS more essential than the
spring, for the filth and dirt that are
left in the house in the winter must be
shut up III tight places so that it will
tend to breed disease. Worms, maggots
and lice will thrive in this filth, watch
is kept warmer than the outside air.
They will soon swarm about the interior
in great numbers, and naturally worry
the life out of the chickens. In addi-
ton to this. the chickens will have to
breathe the foul air that emanates from
the gases of the filth. This alone is
sufficient to cause sickness aud death.
A thorough renovation of the house,
outside and inside, should be made
Everything should be taken out, and the
roof, ceiling, sides and floor should be
swept and then washed and scrubbed.
There is nothing like thorough scrubblng
with soap and water to make the boards
clean and healthful. Then let the place
be aired for day, and, meanwhile, wash
and scrub the teed boxes, the nest boxes,
the roosting sticks and everything that
was taken out. After this 90 into the
house again and whitewash all of the
wood work. Do not be afraid of the
whitewash, but throw it on thiclzly, es-
pecially in the cracks aud holes where
lice and insects may be lodging. In fact
all of the woodwork is thus washed ex-
cept the roosting-poles, which are
scrubbed with boiling water and then
treated with kerosene oil. These should
be drencncd with oil afterward about
once a month, and then no disease can
very we'll attack the chickens. The red
mites ale often very troublesome in the
winter, but this treatment will keep them
away. The house outside should be in
spected carefully and every crack through
which snow or wind could come in must
be stopped up. Have no wind tlraughts
blowing on the chickens, but have good
ventilation. If such housekeeping is
given every fall one may depend upon it
that he will have more eggs and healthier
fowls in the winter.-lnd1aa0 FIrnaer.

North Americas Highest Peak.

Professor Israel G. Russell has estab.
lished finally and incontestably the
claims of Mount ST. Elias to be the high
est peak in North America. There are
taller mountains in the world, OF course.
| This one measures somewhere between
$4,000 and 10, 900 feet, or pretty nearly
four miles of altitude. But there are
peaks of the Andes in South America
which rise to $4,000 feet, while the
Himalayas tower aloft to the height OF
$4,000 feet at maximum elevation.
However Mount St. Elias is the biggest
hill hereabouts, as cannot in future be
disputed.
Along the coast, Professor Russell
says, is green country, covered with a
profuse vegetation, but days march
inland brings the adventurous traveller to
the snow line. Then commences the
icy plain formed by eternal rivers of ice
flowing southwark from the mountains
at the north. For two months the ex.
pediticn journeyed through that frozen
realm, carrying cornmeal and bacon fol-
food, and oil to cheer with lights the
arctic nights. For six weeks the party
travelled over the glaciers on the north
side of Mount st. Elias, approaching the
mighty peak from that direction because
its heights are not accessible from any
other side. The highest camp was pitched
at 5000 feet above sea level, and from
that point the professor and his men
made tremendous effort to reach the
summit. After twenty hours of climb
ing they got up to IA, 500 feet, bat snow
finally drove them back, and they were
compelled to abandon further attempts.
The great obstacle to climbing was al
ways the snow, which fell almost inces-
sanity, rendering progress impracticable.
At one time snowstorm came on when
Professor Russell was alone at the high
est point, and for four entire days he was
cut off from his companions. Although
the top of Mount St. Elias was not
reached, angles were taken which will
determine it's altitude with accuracy
when necessary computations have been
made.
The great Malaspina glacier to the
south of Mount St. Elias covers 1000
square miles, and is larger than all the
Alpine glaciers put together. 1t is made
by the confluence of four big glaciers and
thousands of little ones, which flow into
the mighty ice-plain as water does into a
lake. The ice of the glacier is from
1900 to 1000 feet thick. Professor Rus
sell says that the most curious and sur
prising that he saw in the region de-
scribed was the reflection of himself in
his climbing clothes mirrored in pools of
glacial ice-Water.-St. Louis tStar-S0y.

Pain in Amputated Limbs.

The doctors say that man can feel
nothing in the arm that has been cut
off, but that is nonsense Any man who
has lost an arm or leg will tell you that
the fingers and toes on the missing mem.
bcrs sometimes get as cold as any other
part Of his anatomy. | knew a man who
was shot i'll the arm at Shiloh, and after
the battle was over ne was taken to a
tarm- house hear by, where the doctors
performed the amputatiOn. The man of
the house put the arm in candle box,
nailed it up and buried it in the orchard.
The next day the wounded soldier COM
planned that his arm troubled him. 1t
was all doubled up, he said, aud the
fingers felt cramped. He grumbled for
two or three days without anybody pay
ing much attention to him, for the house
was full of wounded men, and the doc
tors were too busy to spare the time to
look after the anputated arm, but finally
the man became so troublesome that they
concluded to try a little experiment.
So, without telling him what they were
going to do, they went to the orchard,
dug up the arm, took it ont of the
candle box, laid it straight, placed the
fingers in a natural position, wrapped it
in cotton batting, put 1t in longer box
and buried it again. The man declared
he felt his arm relieved at the very mo-
ment when they were staightening the
missing member, and never compainei
again. Theg told him nothing OF what
they had li01e until nc was about to be
discharged IRON the hospital, aud then
gave aim the story in full. -GLoJs Dsm0.

WORDS OF WISDOM.
A law man steals from himself.

A lazy man steals from himself.
There is nothing so brave as love.
Talent and genius have many quarrels.
The dress of truth is always seamless
robe.
None can know what suffering is eX-
cept those who love.
To have to look into the face of truth
always kills lie dead.
The first test of love is its willingness
to suffer without complaint.
There are so many reformers who never
want to do any work at home.
Distrusting everybody is good way to
have the friendship of nobody.
1t doesn't often happen that you meet
a man who is considered hero at home.
Getting the last word with a woman
has been done at last. The phonograph
does it.
The recording angel never strikes Il
balance on his books by what is said Of
man on his gravestone.
No matter what its profession may be,
the love that halts and turns back when
it sees danger coming is sham.
The dog that barks at the moon is
fool, but he knows more than the one
that nips at the hind legs of mule.
Before we condemn and desplse men
for their conduct, let us be sure that
spirits just as black do not have their
abode in our own hearts.
A horse is never much bothered with
flies when he is on the dead run. You
have seen a mule on the walk stop to
kick his sides, but you have never seen
a running horse do it.-Indjanapolis

Chicken Broiling Extraordinary.

Prince Bismark's old chef, who is now
head cook in big Berlin restaurant, re-
Gently won novel bet, and gave a sur
prising exhibition of his mastery Of the
culinary art. He had wagered 525 that
he could kill, clean, cook and serve q
chicken, all in sixsminutes.
The wager was decided at night in
the cafe of the restaurant, in the pres
ence of a big crowd. The cook appeared
at 9 o'clock on an improvised platform,
upon which stood gas cooking stove.
He held a live chicken high above his
head, and the fowl cackled loudly. One
blow of keen carver severed the head
from the neck, and the cook began to
pick the feathers with great swlftness.
1t took just one minute to get rid of
every feather. In less than another
minute the expert had opened and
cleaned the fowl and had placed it upon
broiler on the gas stove.
The cook busted himself at the broiler,
seasoning the fowl as it cooked. 1t
lacked just second of the sixth minute
when he stepped from the platform and
served the chicken to the nearest
guest, to great applause.
