Canine sense of Smell.

It has often been proved that
dogs are able to track their
masters through crowded streets
where 1t would be impossible
to attribute their accuracy to anything
except their sense of smell alone. A
naturalist once made some interesting
experiments as to this power as exhib-
tied In his own dog. In these tests
the naturalist found that his dumb
friend could easily follow in the tracks
of his master, though he was far out
of sight, and that, too, after no less
than eleven persons had followed,
stepping exactly in the tracks made by
his master, it being the deliberate in
tention to confuse the senses of the
dog, II possible. Further experiment
proved that the animal tracked the
boots instead of the man, for when
the naturalist put on new footgear the
dog failed entirely.

Buying shoes.

People should never go in the
urly morning to get boots
md shoes fitted. In the latter part Of
me day the feet are at their maximum

large the feet. II people would re-
member this rule there would not be
10 many complaints of shoes when
worn being tight which, when fitted,
,semed so comfortable.

Another good story Of Tennyson
has come to light in relation
to his well-known aversion to
visitors. 1t was thirty years ago,
when the Prince of Wales was a
young man, that he one day sailed to
the Isle of Wight in his yacht, and he
thought to make friendly call on the
poet. lie was alone, and when he
sounded the knocher "a page came to
the door. "Whom shall i say?' he
asked, after eying the visitor sharply.
THE Prince of Wales was the smil-
ing reply. The page was struck with
surprise for a moment and then be-
came very mirthful. Tia! yes" he
observed, with derisive gesture
1.-THE Prince of Wales, of course! We
know trick worth two of that And
he slammed the door in the face of his
royal highness, who thereupon went
away Just like any other man.

states. For some weeks past MIR. Webb

acting under the authority of many of the
most prominent and wealthy Mohamme-

MURDER I'm A FLORIDA FEUD.
John Adams Killed at Mariana by the
Tarver Brothers.

Mariana, Fla, May 2S.-John Adams
was shot yesterday afternoon by the three
Tarver brothers, Ben, Hugh and Tom.
These parties were all here attending
court while the Buck Hall case was being
tried. Ben Tarver was one Of the guards
while Choice Adams was in custody ac-
cused of numbering John r. Ely in 1892.
During the day Choice Adams and Tarver
filled up on liquor and the old matter was
broached and they quarreled, but had no
fight. Later TarYer met John Adams and
cursed him, when Adams knocked
him down and would have
given him severe whipping
had not an older brother.
Jim Adams, interfered to prevent it. Tar
yer, who lives in Greenwood, nine miles
northeast Of here, left shortly after the
fight, and, going home, persuaded his two
brothers to help him get revenge. The
three Adams brothers had TO pass through
Greenwood on their way home, and upon
reaching there the Tarvers opened fire
upon them with Winchesters, the result
of which was that John Adams, the only
peaceable one of the six, was killed hav-
ing been struck with three balls and
mortally wounded, dying four hours later.
None of the Adamses We're armed. The
sheriff Immediately organized posse and
went to arrest the Tarvers. They caught
Tom last night, and will probably secure
the other two. There are desperate men
on both sides in this fehd, and it is feared
this is not the last Of It..

KILLED BY NANCY HANKS.
An Aged Minister and His Wife Met
Death simultaneously.

The Clergyman Had Just Closed His
Little Church After Preaching the
~Horning Sermon-The Couple Walk
ing Home Along the Track in
Binding Rain Storm Under an Un-
brella When Struck BY the Train.
Atlanta, Ca, May 2S.-Rev. William
Graham, Methodist minister at Miner,
fifty-two miles from here, and his wife,
both about 60 years of age, were struck
by the north bound Nancy Hanks train
this morning and instantly killed. Rev.
Graham had just finished his Sundays
sermon and closed the church, which is
but short distance from the depot and
was walking down the Central railroad
track toward his home in binding rain.
His home is but few hundred yards from
the depot and he and his wife were hurry
ing along to get out of the rain, They had
an umbrella and were walking from the
approaching train, the sound of which
was drowned by the rain and umbrella.
When about 200 yards beyond the depot
Engineer Wagner saw the couple walking
along the track, just ahead of his engine.
He could not see them until within few
feet, as his glass door was down on ac-
count of the heavy rain blowing toward
the engine. He blew his whistle and re-
versed his engine, but it was too late.
THE DEATH BLOW
The ponderOus engine tore past at
almost full speed and threw the two un-
fortunate victims twenty-five feet into the
air. They both fell on the left side of the
track going north and lay there thirty
feet apart. Death was instantaneous.
Mrs. Graham's clothing was partially
torn from her body and she was bruised
and cut in many places. Rev. Graham
was struck on the head and from deep
hole in his skull the brains were oozing
out. The minister and his wife were Just
returning from services, where he had
preached, when they met their terrible
death together, neither knowing of the
others fate. The bodies were left in
charge of the CentraPs agent at Miner,
and later were taken to the
house, which was but few
yards distant Engineer Wagner and
Conductor Cubbedge deplore the accident,
but under the circumstances no blame
can be attached to either of them, as the
train was on time to the minute. Con-
ductor Cubbedge is deeply wrought up
over the affair, as he has prided himself
with having run the Nancy Hanks for
several months now without single
accident An attempt was made by some
of the people of Miner to hold Conductor
Cubbedge until the matter could be in
vestigatdd, but he was not detained The
carelessness of the victims in walking on
the track at train time and the heavy
rain were responsible for the accident
