About Frying Ham.

Ham may be SO fried that it is tender
and sweet and more thoroughly cooked
than if broiled. To fry it, with this un
usual result, cut the slices of medium
thickness, trim off the rind and most of
the fat Heat the skillet or spider smok-
Tag hot and lay in the slices OF ham. As
they brown on one side turn them on the
other, and when well cooked in this way,
pour over the ham few tablespoonfuls
of boiling water, how many will depend
on the quantity of the hap. Cover the
spider closely and set on the back part of
che stove, where the heat is slow, for fif-
teen minutes. The water by that time
should all be absorbed and the ham de-
licious.

Mice rhat subsIst on scorpions.

Among the queer forms of animal life
shat inhabit Death valley is mouse that
has acquired such taste for scorpions that
they form its entire bill of fare. The scor-
pion carries its formidable armament in the
end Of its slender, elongaged abdomen in
the shape of an exceedingly venomous,
hooked sting. When disturbed, it eleyates
this in the air and goes in search of its dis
turber. But it is comparatively slow in its
motions, while mice are proverbial for their
quickness the world over. The mouse
learned many generations ago where the
scorpion carries its weapon, and when he
meets it lie leaps at the uplifted abdomen,
takes off the sting at a single bite and pro-
ceeds to make a meal of his helpless prey,
1t is supposed TO be the only animal that
relishes scorpions.-Sports Afield.

Sir Robert Ball is reported to have said,
in his lecture on the moon, that the geog-
raphy OF our satellite was better known
even than that of the earth. There was no
single spot on the moon the size of an ordi-
nary parish in England that had not been
fully photographed and observed. OF course
this remark can only relate to the side Of
the moon which is always turned toward
us. Nearly one-half of her surface has
never been seen by mortal eye and never
will be unless the lunar globe should be
tilted by collision with a comet or some
such erratic body.
Otherwise it is fact that photography
has done more for the earth's attendant
than for the earth itself. 1t is analogous
to the further fact that the only things
which man can predict with certainty are
not those that happen on the sphere he in
habits, but the movements of worlds i'm
mensely distant. London Telegraph

of Sylvester Howe, charged with the
murder of James Shaw, on Twin creek,
in the eastern part of this county,
which has been in progress during the
week, came suddenly to an end about
noon Friday, when the prisoner, with
tears in his eyes, arose and pleaded
guilty to the charge of murder in the
second degree. Howe, up to the pres
ent time, has claimed to be innocent,
although twice he has been convicted.
Judge Davis at once sentenced Howe
to the penitentiary for life, and while
sentence was being passed the prisoner
wept like a child.

ton of the new government then the
only possible time to do SO was during
Sunday and Monday, the 10Th and 10th,
while the citizens were attending the
mass meetings. They did not dare to
attempt to arrest or interfere with the
aroused white citizens. 1t was united

took away the despotic powers of King
Kalakaua in 1887 and crushed the Will

their rifles in hand, which were in
creased by other arms openly carried
from q gun store, with only three men

perjured affidavits, hundreds of which
are obtainable in Honolulu. An effort

LYNCHBURa, O., Nov. 11.-Henry Ster-
itz, wealthy farmer about "a years of
age, committed suicide on his farm,
three miles north of this place.
He left his home Monday morning,
but no uneasiness was felt, as it was
thought he had gone to Martinsville, a
neighboring village. He did not re-
turn Monday night, and search was
begun.
This was kept up until Thursday
evening, when his dead body was found
by John Troutwine, one of the party
1t was ghastly in appearance, and a
small vial lying near told the story of
self-poisoning.
Steritz had lately been sued for &c.,
900 damages, and it is thought that
prooding over the impending lawsuit
drove him to the deed.

RIOTOuS SCENES.

A Colored Mob Attacks the Police and sol-
diers While Escorting the Notorious Phil
Evans In jain at Bardstown.
BARDsTowN, KY, Nov. 1.-THE fury
of mob of several hundred men broke
loose in this town late Friday after
noon. The curses and cries of men,
mingled with the clashing of arms,
aroused the citizens to the highest
pitch, and before the trouble was
over many men were badly wound
ed. The mob suddenly sprung
into existence, and in fir ont of the
courthouse door terrible race war
began over the Negro, Phil Evans, and
only after eighty men of the Louisville
Legion had charged on them with fixed
bayonets was any sort of order re-
stored. Evans has been on trial several
days for the rape of little Edna Hall,
near here, on October IA, and when re-
moved from the Louisville Jail to Bards-
town for trial, a part of the Legion had
to be sent along to protect him. The
verdict will probably be reached Satur-
day.
The riot began Friday as Evans was
being led between heavy guards of
soldiers to the Jail. After court had
adjourned about fifty Negroes gathered
in front of the courthouse and cheered
Evans. The police interfered, but this
provoked an assault from the Negroes,
and in twinlsling hundreds of men
with pistols rushed through the square
yelling Hang the - -. String
him up Kill the scoundrel"
Some were referring to Evans, others
to the mob of Negroes. Men were
knocked down right and left, more
pistols appeared on every side, and in
the very middle of the mob shot was
fred with deliberate aim at one of the
leaders of the colored agitators. The
real leader, Leroy Wicllliffe, received a
fracture of the skull, and was removed
by officers into the Jail, where his
wounds could he cared for. The Legion
guard moved at double-quick time,
placed Evans safely behind the bars,
and detail with fixed bayonets rushed
| toward the street, at which the Ne
groes, whose number bad swelled TO a
hundred, retreated through an alley.
| At 7:30 o'clock the report was spread
| that the Negroes had held secret
meeting and would burn the town dur
| ing the night. A mob of seventy-hve
men have arrived from Springfield.
The Legion guard about the Jail has
been doubled in consequence, and sew
eral fam lies went into the country to
spend the night.

tinuous service, and is also the oldest
station agent on the Cleveland & Pitts
burgh railroad, if not on any other
road in America, having served in that
capacity since 1852. He bears his years
lightly, and discharges the many duties
devolving upon him as express agent,
postmaster and freight and ticket
agent in a manner that would do credit
to a man forty years his junior.

Difference of Opinion as to Their Being
Adopted.
COLUMBUS, O., Nov. lit is now
claimed confidently by authorities on
constitutional law that despite the fact
that the constitutional amendments
did not receive majority of all
the votes cast at the election on
Tuesday they were adopted neverthe-
less. The constitution provides that
amendments be voted on at an cleo
tion for members of the general assem-
bly,. The legislature provided that
these amendments should be voted
upon on a separate ballot, and in a
separate box Now the friends of the
amendme nts declare that as this con-
stituted practically separate election,
and as there was the necessary major
ity of all the votes cast in that separate
election in the affirmative upon both
propositions to amend, they are car
ried. Other lawyers, however, take
the other side of the question, which
will probably have to be settled by the
courts.

You Can.Give BRIDE but can, NOT rake
One In West Virginia.
PARKERsBURe, w. Va, Nov. 13.-Judge
Bore mans decision in the Writ county
court that there is no law against a
person giving a bribe for vote, al
though the person receiving the same
is liable to Indictment" is a revelation
and has created considerable excite
ment. as it proves that the bribery law
is very loosely drawn.
The case that brought forth this de-
cision is the indictment of X. b Gra-
ham. of Elizabeth, Writ county, who
was charged with conveying certain
real estate to about twenty different
persons on condition that they would
vote for Stephen Merrill for mayor and
E. p. Dotson, L. r. Clinton and Ed
ward Seiftiet for the city council. The
indictment was found under section
s, chapter 5 of the code, and
the decision was made on a motion
by the defendants counsel moving
to quash the indictment. Judge
foreman held that while the indict-
ment itself was in good form the sec.
tion under which it was drawn did not
make it an offense to give a bribe,
although it did make it am offense to
receive one, and ON this ground he
granted the motion. He added that
there was casus omissus in the law in
not providing a punish ment for the
briber as well as the one bribcd. Judge
Boreman is one of the most careful,
painstaking judges in the state, and a
decision from him carries great weight.
