END OF A RAZOR FRAY.
Drunken Assault on Bartender Results
in Double Fatality.


KEENF, N. H., April Ga row which
occurred Saturday evening" March IS, at
A. n. Kingsley's hotel in Ashuelot, has Just
resulted in a double fatality. Fred Fuller,
who was intoxicated. was refused more
liquor by the bartender, Walter A. Tufts,
whereupon he drew q razor, seshing sav-
egely at Tufts with n stroke that cut of the
end OF his nose, made a large cash Ia his
lower lip and chin, cutting into his clothes
below. In the struggle which followed no
badly bit Tufts finger Dr. leonard at
tended the wounded man, but no arrests
were made at the time.
A week later Tufts was taken very i'll with
something like erysipelas, spreading from
the wounded finger, and he died last night.
This morning Solicitor Hersey, Coroner
Leonard Wellington and Deputy Sheriff
futile, went down from Keene, and on COM
plant of Chairman Winchester Of tho Sc
leotmen, the solicitor made out warrant
for the arrest of Fuller.
Meantime a coroner's jury was empan
elled, consisting OF Henry Abbott, Wright
Wood and w. l.. h. Felch, W no proceeded
with the taking of evidence. Deputy Tut
tie went with tbs warrant to arrest Fuller,
who lives with his mother. Fuller express
ed his willingness to go as soon as he changed
his clothes. As he evidently did not con
template an escape, having made ample OPP
portunity to do 30 the officer permitted him
to 20 up stairs.
The prisoner not appearing az soon as er
pected, the officer asked his mother to see
II her son was ready. She went up stairs,
quickly returning in great excitement, say
ing that her son had killed himself The
young man had placed basin on the floor
and deliberately out his throat with a razor,
being then almost dead from loss OF blood,
and he expired 30 minutes later. Both vic
Tins were single men, Fuller 80 years oil
ago and Tufts older Fuller was iptenper
ate and very quarrelsome when intoxicated

Some Odd Calculations.

According 10 the best and most re-
cent calcu atoms 100, 900, 900 tons of
water pour over Niagara every hour.
This represents l6,OO0,OOO horse
power. The total coal production of
the world, either daily. weekly,
monthly or yearly, would not furnish
steam power sufficient to pump it
back again.
A bell that could he heard at dis
lance of 40, 900 feet in water could lie
heard at a distance of only 666 feet in
the open air. Dogs barking on the
earth can be heard by balloonists sail
ing at height of four miles.
All the gold in the world (not count
ing that still in virgin statc) would
not make a block of more than 6lS
cubic yards. A cube of the above di-
lnensions could be put in a room "a

Stanpeding Oxen.

"Many people who have been much
on the plains in the ante-railroad days
have seen slampedes of mules and
horses" remarked L. L. Otcro of
Santa Fe, TO group of friends at the
Laclede, "but By far the worst siam-
pedc is that of terrified oxen. When
they are loose they will, if frightened,
run over prccipice if it comes in
their way, but if stampeded when
hitched to wagons very few will es-
cape. Once when ON the Cimarron
one of lEy OK teams became frightened,
what at | never knew. The six oxen
started off at breakncck speed, and
the contagion was impaired to two
other teams. The men tried TO stop
them, but they might as well have
tried to check IL mountain torrent.
The oxen went on right across tho
country, with the heavy wagons rat
llimg at their heels, aud ran until near
y half of them fell dead from cx-

IN late pamphlet on literature for
children, G. Z Hardy, principal of a
New York grammar school, saws that
modern education does not dcyclop
the moral sense, and that '.ffty years
of popular education have had little or
no rcrceptiblc regeneratiug influence
ON our people" He reports that over
eighty per cent. of the convicts in Sing
Sing and Auburn prisons arc public
school graduates, and that prisons and
reformatories are full of them. Who
ever expected anything else? replies
the New York Independent No one
has ever claimed that an educated
man is necessarily a moral man, that
those who have gone through a public
school are thereby insured against the
penitentiary. All that has been
claimed is that the training which
they there get in discipline of the
will aud in Intellectual aptitude will
make them less liable to commit
crime. The very statistics which Mr..
Hardy gives tells against him. Eighty
per cent from The public schools is
not very large figure where nearly
every one, it would be supposed,
would be from the public schools. If
nearly twenty per cent. are illerate,
does any one pretenl That twenty per
cent. of the population are illiterate?
The iIliicraic element must have con-
tributed vastly more than its share of
crime. In a late humber Of the Indc-
pendent a. Tolman Smith showed
that in pennsylvania the iliterates
supply eight times their proportion of
criminals. And The English statistics
are equally strong as TO the influence
Of education in London in preventing
Juvenile crime.

A LITTLE QUEENS PET.

When Queen Victoria was little
girl, before thoughts of the English
throne had ever entered her baby head.
she was the owner of very fine COOP
of Cochin China fowls. There wcrc
very large white ROSTERS, beautiful.
plump hens and downy chicks by the
dozen, for the coop was very large
one.
But the pet of all the pets was big
rooster, who had learned to know his
little mistress and to follow her around
the Enclosure where he was kent.
Many photographs were taken of the
Cochin China fowls; and later, when
thc little Victoria grew to be woman
and was called TO the English throne,
she took her Cochin CHINA fowls with
her, and had them installed at Grasse.
one of her country seats.
They are still at Grssse, and for A
generation the queens children and
grandchildren have played with them
and admired them Last summer.
little Lady Alexandria Dutf, III,
queens little groat-granddaughtcr,
was taken 10 Grasse, and one day her
nurse led her out to where there was
a coop of beautiful Cochin China hens
aud chickens, all descended from the
ones the baby Victoria played with SO
years ago. --Trhc Ledger.
