Crazed br nrInkiug LIQUOR.

NIAGARA FALLS, n. Y, June l5.-Simon
Mahoney, a gold cure patient, visited his
mother at the American House to-day, and
because something displeased him began
drinking. The liquor made him crazy, and
securing a revolver he attempted 10 shoot
himself His mother interfered and her
screams brought Mahoney's two
brothers, Cornelius and James. In
the struggle he shot Cornelius
in the left breast, fatally wounding
him. He theu seized a dat iron and
crashed James skull. Then the police ar
rived and overpowered him. The physi-
clans at the gold cure say they cautioned
Mahoney against drinking liquor, as they
knew il would make him crazy and violent.

GInd Embrace Followed and Gave
Hint of Hidden Romance.
Pedestrians who We're passing st.
Patrick's cathedral, on Fifth avenue,
the other day, at about 3 o'clock in the
afternoon, were treated to Il curious
sight, says the New York Press Com
ing mp the avenue was handsome
woman of about twenty-five. She was
elegantly dressed and bore herself with
a manner and carriage which We're
eminently aristocratic. She was walk
ing slowly, as though out for an after
noon airing, looking carelessly ut the
carriages which We're passing along the
avenue. Going down town OH the same
block and at the same time was Il man
of middle age. He, too, was dressed
faultlessly. He wore silk hat and a
spring oyercoat of the latest cut; his
trousers were properly creased; and in
his buttonhole was a small bOutOnniere
Of lilies Of the valley. In his hand he
carried a neat cane, which he swung as
he walked. He looked contented with
the world and with himself, and as
though he had not a care but to enjoy
the afternoon sunshine and the luxury
of a leisurly stroll. AS they approach
ed each other, this lady and the gentle
man, they arrived just opposite the
main entrance of the cathedral. Sud
denly they caught sight Of each other,
and an instantaneous change came. Ihe
lady stopped short in her walk and ex-
claimed. '"rheo!' She dropped the
small silk umbrella she had been car
rying, stretched forth her arms and
sprang, rather than walked. straight
into the arms Of the man. He, while
he did not exclaim, acted in manner
indicating more emotion than surprise
He dropped his cane and folded the
woman to his breast with an ardor
which showed more than gladness at
the meeting The pair stopped for a
moment in view Of the people, who
were observing them. He picked up
his cane and her umbrella, and together
they both disappeared around the cor
ner into Fiftieth street.
Who were they? Brother and sister
united after years of separation
Their joy at meeting seemed too warm
for that. Lovers separated in their
youth and met again after many
years? Who can tell? 1t might have
been. But they disappeared around
| the corner, and they carried their
secret with them. And the still linger-
| ing pedestrians felt, somehow, that
they had come into contact with some,
thing holy, and walked again their way
with n glad feeling it was as difficult
to define as it was to tell whence and
| WHY it came

LITTLE CHOICE BETWEEN THEM

A Veteran Who Thinks That Me

Good Fighters.
lis he who Is ordinarily called gen.
tleman. that is, q member Of the pro-
LESSONS or son Of wealthy parents,
a better fighter than the mechanic or
the stevedore, and vice versa?' repeat
ed a veteran when asked the question
by a Washington Post man. For my
own part 1 think there is little. to
choose between them. l served four
years in the civil war, upon the losing
side, of course, and had ample oppor-
tunity to judge. l remember very well
serving alongside a battery known as
the Washington Light Artillery of New
Orleans. They were all young, belong
ed to the first families and their COM
pany had been in being for hundred
years. These young gentlemen went
into action in swallOwtails and served
the guns with hands clad in white KID
gloves. OF course, the gloves were
torn to shreds long before the day was
over. Of course it was piece OF boy
ish bravado, and equally OF course
they got bravely over such nonsense
in a month or two. Some Of them We're
glad to borrow shirt or pair OF old
shoes before AppomattoX came, Dut
men never fought better. The hotter
the corner the more they seemed to
like it, and they were the best drilled
cannoneers I ever saw. Per contra,
company left Charleston which was
made up of men who worked along the
wharves and in the holds Of ships.
When dressed for feminine conquest
they wore red flannel shirts with paper
collars, bob-tailed coats and black doe
skin trousers cut in the old 'keg fash
ion,' bulgy at the knees and very small
at the bottom. They chewed tobacco
and spat recklessly, swore with fiuency,
and l do not suppose that there was
manicure set or a tooth brush in the
outfit. The dress-coated gentlemen had
nothing the advantage of them IN
charge or awaiting Il charge. They
fought simply like devils. I have
known them to lie fiat on the ground
for hours under Il plunging fire and
sing ribald songs which if printed would
be distinctly unavailable matter. Some
of them were foreigners with little In
terest in America or little care Tor
what they were fighting. One OF them,
1 remember, was an Algerian, who pos.
sessed scarcely Il half dozen words OF
English. 1t does not do to generallze
in favor of one class or the other. IN

dron Of battle men rise or sink to a
common level The blacksmith stands

Ent Bananas and Turn Brunette.

Those who eat heartily Of bananas
may ruin some risk of becoming tawny
or copper colored. This may be in
ferred possibly from the peculiarities
of p1umage in the turacos of Africa.
AS long as the weather is dry these
birds are gay, the primary and second
airy feathers being gorgeously crimson,
but when rain comes 1.-THE color is
washed out, and the birds seem to be
Inundated and ashamed ut the trans
formation. But the color returns in
dry weather The cause Of tie colora-
ton has been traced to copper in very
pure state. "A single feather burned
gives the characteristic indicatlon The
source Of the turacin has now been
traced to bananas, on which the turacos
feed chiefly. All the aborigines who
make bananas q diet are very deeply
tinted, but the color Is sooty rather
than red. The North American In
dian cannot owe his coppery hue to
bananas. He has only known of this
fruit on reservations, and chiefly by
the peelings Francisco Call
