o'clock In the morning, and when she

since remained unconscious.
This morning McCoy's two brothers
secured her release by giving bonds of
$4,000 for her appearance. The girl
was then taken home and is now in a
critical condition.
The accident is explained by the
fact that recently Miss King suffered
from a sprained ankle and she has
been using crutchcs to walk, but laid
them aside to practice her part in the
play. AS she made the motion to
stab Mccoy she rested her weight on
her weak foot, which gave away aud
she fell forward.

Methodists Will Establish New u ally ..t
Chicago.


1t has developed in the last few
days that Methodists propose some
thing unique in daily journalism.
AT a convention of the Epworth
league Of northern Wisconsin at
Hudson, resolution was passed
unanimously recommending that the
Methodist church of America begin
the publication of a Daily Christian
Advocate at Chicago, the editorialsto
be OF advanced liberal religious
thought, with sensational and
objectional news eliminated from
the news columns. 1t is estimated
that there are 100000 members of
the Methodist church in America,
and the promoters of the scheme say
that the daily could be started with
100000 subscribers. The influence
of the paper. It is claimed, will be far
reaching. Epworth leagues through
out the country, it is understood.
Will pass similar resolutions, and the
new venture will be launched in
March or April.

TERRIBLE TRAGEDY.
Another Life Lost Through the Medium
of Amateur Theatricals.

Another Life Lost Through the Medium
of Amateur Theatricals.
The old year was closed in San
Francisco by unique and terrible
tragedy by which Sidney Mccoy,
young lawyer, aged 33, lost his life,
and Miss Grace King, aged ~, is in an
unconscious condition. A party OF
about fifty friends assembled at Nc
Coy's house to watch the old year out
and the new year in. The feature of
the evenings entertainment was an
amateur production OF a short play.
The plot OF the play was the betrayal
OF a band of Russian nihilists by one
OF the number. The nihilists dis
cover the traitor and condemn her to
death. They decide by lot who shall
perform the execution and the num-
Der fell to the character portrayed by
Mccoy. Miss King played the part
OF the traitor. She was given the
choice OF being killed or OF stabbing
herself, ard chose the latter aIterna-
tive. Mccoy handed her dagger
which had been in his family for
many years. In the play the girl,
instead OF killing herself, was to stab
the executioner, and as Miss King
received the knife she reached for
ward to touch Mccoy in the breast
with the knife. At the same instant
Mccoy started towards the girl when
she stumbled and falling forward with
the dagger in her hand, drove it
through McCoy's heart. Mccoy
showed wonderful vitality and pres
ence of mind. He walked into the
next room and asked for a doctor and
then fell dead. The girl knew that
there had been an accident OF some

My mother paused as though choosing

ranges from that OF Hon. Blanche X.

colored young men in Washington
who have graduated from IA literary

educated negro who should be among
those of his own color and teach
them to be thrifty, honest and

THE WAY TO OLD AGE.
What Effect Change Of Economic Condi-
tions May Have on Human Longevity.

pU. LOulo UlOuC-hcllOCldG. l.
notice that Edward Everett Hale has
discovered, it not the fountain Of
youth, wherein the wrinkled septua-
genarian may battle and come forth
an ever young Apollo, at least the
secret of keeping young at TO-" said
Dick Farkenthal, as he turned the
leaves of periodical at the Lindell.
''He says: Never work after o'clock
in the afternoon, and sleep ten hours
in every twenty-four.' Tue trouble is
that, under present economic condi-
tions, the average man who attempted
that regime would starve to death
before touching thirty. But that is
the fault of the economic conditions,
not of Mr.. Hale's prescription. In
the fullness Of time, when the profess
sional 'reformer' has been choked off
and the common ssnse of the masses
has an opportunity to assert itself,
social conditions may be so adjusted
that it will not be necessary to swing
back on the towline ten or twelve
hours a day in order to land bare
living. There is possibility that
the world will one day learn that good
health and ripe old age are far pre-
ferable to hoard of useless gold and
gaudy tombstone adorned with a
lying inscription. But loating and
sleeping will not themselves keep a
man young Itis worry that kills.
Worry ages man more rapidly than
hard work. 1t is wor y that chisels
wrinkles in his face, saps his nervous
energy, shrivels his heart and makes
him old before his time. When
economic conditions are so improved
that the average mortal will not te
kept ever on the anxious seat: when
he can feel assured that reasonable
efforts will yield him comfortable
living, the efficient cause of much of
the worlds worry will have been re-
moved. When higher education
has made plain the folly of fortunes;
when the race has progressed beyond
the thousand petty jealousies and
heart burnings that now sweep it like
hot simoons, shriveling and blasting:
when the true significance of life is
once well understood, and those
sitting weeds, vanity and false amhi-
ton, have been routed out OF the
human garden; when the laws of
health are as well understood as the
edicIs of fashion, and philosophy has
robbed death of it's terrors-when, III
short, the struggle for existence
becomes less bitter, and the worries
of life are reduced to minimum
then may men be hale and hearty
until they have passed not only the
three score and ten mark, but until
well into the second century. Then
may the prime OF womanhood he
sixty instead Of thirty, and Saran's
motherhood in her old age appear no
longer a miracle"
