MAcKAY RECOVERING FAST.
Tho Assailant's Letter Telling Why H
Attempted Murder.

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 27.-Unless some
unexpected complication arises, John w.
Mackay, who was shot by Wesley c. Rip
pey, an aged crank, will have almost en-
tirely recovered in n few days.
Rippey, it would appear, is a bigamist
rs we'll as stock gambler. Two women
claim him as their husband. One lives
in Cincinnati with two sons The other
keeps lodging house in Seattle, Wash
She, however, obtained divorce from
him some years ago.
A dispatch from Virginia City was re-
ceived stating that the shooting of Mr..
Mackay had caused intense excitement
among the Comstock miners. At meet
ing oe mine superintendent the following
was adopted:
Your old friends of the Comstock,
which include a large majority of the
population, congratulate you on your
providential escape from the bullet of the
assassin and hope for your speedy re-
covery.
One of the curious features of the
tragedy was the letter which Rippey left
addressed to a morning newspaper. 1t
showed plainly that he had carefully
planned his work. After dwelling on the
fact that he hsd ALWAYS paid his debts
and that he had lost S25, 900 in mining
stock he added:
81 have soved my corn and have reaped
tares, but the man that sowed the tares
l reaped, if he don't harvest whirlwind,
it will simply be because l have neither
nerve nor strength to pull trigger.
These men in Bine street have driven me
TO desperation and had l power
to-day I would wipe them all off the
face of the same city. They have been
the cause of more restitution, more de-
mented men, more suicides and the direct
cause OF separation and destruction of
more happy homes than anybody of
perjured villains that God ever suffered

Mutinv on n New York Pilot Boat.

NEW YORK, Feb. 27,-The pilot boat
Jesse CARL No. 10 was towed to this city
yesterday with a mutinous crew on

to pier No. l, North river, where the

CUT THE BODY DOWN.
Miss Cecil Asked tho Privilege and It
Was Granted Her.


Was Granted Her.
KNOXVILLE, Tenn, Feb. 27.-The lynch
ing at Jellico of the negro Joe Payne for
assaulting Miss Fannie Cecil was in itself
a very tame affair. He confessed the
crime and was swung up to the nearest
tree without any noise.
The mob pinned placard on his back
vowing death to anybody who should dis
turb the body until 10 o'clock during the
day. At that hour fully 5000 people had
gathered from neighboring towns.
Miss Cecil sent word that she would
take pleasure in cutting down the body.
Her wishes were granted, and with a
sharp knife she severed the rope, and the
body fell to the ground. She smiled as
she cut the rope, and the act was greeted
with cheers from the vast crowd.
The negroes of that locality are greatly
wrought up over the affair.

A New Occupation For Good Singers
GEO. S. POND, supt.: Supply Dept, III
Court St, New Haven Conn.


Court ST., New Haven Conn.
We notice in your telephone guide that
you are prepared to furnish all kinds of
Electrical Supplies and an idea has oc-
Cured to our minds that perhaps you
could put into practical operation. For
several years we have been engaged not
only in furnishing the houses of the peo
pie, but in sweetening their tempers as
well, thus preparing them for the good
time coming. But we ind an influence at
work that is fast destroying our Mission
airy labors. Human nature loves n change
and many of our Customers go around
from store to store in response to unscru-
pulous merchants who advertise goods at
half price, and as usual they find the goods
are only worth half price, or the LAST
ONE is JUST GONE. Ibis of course sours
their tempers to such an extent that when
they get around to us again to trade you
can light a match with the fire from their
eyes We think you can help us out by
applying radical remedy which,was sug-
gested to US lately while attending the Bos-
ton theatre An actress appeared on the
stage in the garb of peasant girl, and
sang song that perhaps you never heard
before Little Annie Rooney" it is
called. She was singing only n few minutes
when the sweet, magnetic powers of her
voice and the charming simplicity of her
manner grew contagious and all ut once
the whole audience was singing and never
stopped until the actress was called out
SEVEN TINES. Everybody who had
rheumatism or dyspepsia forgot all about
it. Now we see no reason why this RENE
dy could not be applied at our wareroom
We have Several Sweet Nightingales in
this City who have charmed us on several
occasions and we think they would accept
a fair Salary if you would fit up room
for that purpose so they Could Sing into a
large tube that Could be tapped and con-
veyed into the stores, and when Custom
er came in we Could turn on the music
We are convinced that it would pay, as
the Customers would be always Good
natured, and then it is no trouble to sell a
Parlor Suit, Chamber Set, Carp ats,
Crockery, Pictures, Stoves and Ranges,
Shades or anything from the celler to the
attic for cash or credit.

SHE PLAYS A SHARP GAME.



Ready to Grasp tho Islands.
CHICAGO, Feb. CIV. c. Wilde, one
of the Hawaiian commissioners, left here
for San Francisco last night, L. A. Thurs
ton returns to Washington, where he will
remain until the new administration
takes final action on the matter of an
nexation, and J. Marsden left for Hawaii
yesterday.
Mr.. Marsden said: eff the Democrats
fail to make speedy action towards an
nexing the Hawaiian islands, it will be
the last chance the United States will
ever have to get them.
England is playing a smart diplo-
matte game. She knows that to enter a
protest would precipitate annexation
only, but England stands ready to act at
moments notice. Warships are on
the way and if Minister Woodhouse, the
English representative on the islands, has
occasion to call troops ashore those troops
will never be removed until the English
flag is raised over the islands"

WATERFOWL, N. Y, Feb. 81. The Lin

merous letters from various cities from
admirers of Mckinley, each enclosing a
dollar to be added to the fund started by
the club to be sent to Mr.. McKinley's
trustees. The idea was not to have funds
sent to the Watertown club, but that its
action would set the example for other
clubs to start such funds.

A Large Number of Big Ships to
Go Into Commission.

HALIFAX, n. S., April 23.-In-
teresting information comes from

completed and passed into the
fleet reserve as ready for sea:
First-class battle ships, the En-

ships, the Centurion and Harfieur,
will each have a displacement of
10,5OO tons, engines of 1900
horsepower, giving speed of 1923
knots, and a heavy armament.
Gix first-class protected cruisers

UNCLE JERRY RUsK has few good
ideas after all that has been said
about HIM. In his magazine article
on American farming a hundred
years hence he says that the imple-
ments and facilities of farming have
developed faster than the comforts of
rural life, and it is in the latter de.
partment that he expects revolution
within the hundred years. The iso-
lation and unceasing round of labor
which remain conditions of farm life
he thinks will be modified by smooth
roads, better houses, telephones and
free mail delivery, More people will
live on given area and they will be
closer together. The country resi-
dents will equal the corresponding
classes of the cities in culture and ed
ucation. As the Inconvenience dis
appear the superior healthfulness and
freedom OF country life will attract
the well to do families from the cities.
Business and professional men will
look forward to the acquisition O.
wealth as a means for securing HON q
in the country. Uncle Jerry's ,ar
ception of the restoration of bal arc
between the growth of countr , IN,
city has refreshing touch Of com
mon sense alongside the nessisn
about urban growth the es' ,ayists ar,
