negun, demcnted mau, attacked bis
mother while laboring under a spell. and
she will probably die lie struck her with
an iron bar, fracturing her skull, kicked
her in the stomach and left her for dead.
Next he attacked his father, beating him
into an unconscious condition. He broke
all the furniture in the house and left the
premises.
He then entered the house Of neighbor
named Eaton, but the family fed on seeing
the crazy man approach. Finnegan pro
ceeded to break the furniture, and scarcely
a whole piece was left in the house. Peo
pie hearing of the affair hurried TO the
scene and attempted to arrest him, but his
strength was too much for them. John
Smith, who was pushed TO the wall by the
infuriated man, pulled revolver and
fired at him. The ball passed through his
face, cutting out several teeth.
Finnegan fell TO the ground and was
overpowered. He was handcuffed securely
and sent to the insane department Of the
county home. Mrs. Finnegan will proba-
bly, die. The old man is not seriously hurt
and will recover. Finnegan lost mis- reason
long time ago, but being quiet and mp
parently harmless he was permitted Ia
stay at home.

make a reply, but as the usual hour for adj

deferred the question.
AS Mr.. johnson left the room Mr. Shelby
darted after him and accosted him in the
hallway. Mr. johnson is broad shoul-
dered, black mustached, cool and hand
some; Mr.. Shelby is short and excitable.
Said Mr.. Shelby, facing his taller oppo-

said. expecting that Mr.. Shelby would am

Thereupon Mr. Shelbys right fist shot

As he threw up his arm in the defensive

Prince Poniatowski first came over
from Paris some two years ago.

Prince Poniatowski first came over
from Paris some two years ago.
He is personally n very democratic
sort of man, of medium height and
shiny built, active and energetic IN
his movements. Prince Andre Ponia-
towsl1i returned last summer to France,
where his mother has an establish
ment, near Paris, and his acquaintance
with Miss Burke was made on the
other side. The original plan was
that the wedding should be celebrated
in the gay French capital, but, as
Gen. Carpenter had an i'll turn it was
postponed, and the Carpenters and
Miss Burke returned to this side, and
went Immediately to California G.,
Prince Andre Poniatowslii came over
very shortly after, and with little delay
started for San Francisco, where it
was arranged that the marriage should
take place during February. For
some reason this plan was abandoned,
and the Carpenters and Miss Burke
returned to their New York home.
Miss Burke has been quite i'll for few
DAYS, and this and the several post
pone ments of the marriage have given
rise to rumors that the affair is off.
Prince Poniatowski is not as fond of
society as some other titled foreigners
who have visited New York in recent
years He is connected in business
way with the Rothschilds and brought
letters to the Belmonts and others
when he came.
Prince Andres oldest brother mar

Tho Travelled Alphabet.

The game called "The Trave led
Alphabet" is played as follows:
Deciding on the person with whom
the alphabet should begin each one
must take letter in turn and apply
Into the country to which he or she is
going, and the object of the journey,
thus:

No. 9. journey to Brooklyn to get

No. 3. l travel to Cleveland to get q

No. 4. am going to Denver to OBJ

No. 5. journey to Egypt to eat

This should be continued until the

failing to comply must pay the forfeit
of introducing a new game, singing a
song or telling a laughable story.

The story of q River.


Not for ourselves, we're born, but. for our
race"
A little river was born one day at
the foot of a lofty mountain. 1t pratt
tied merrily with the white stones
over which it flowed, and laughed
with delight just because it was so
glad to be living in such beautiful
world. Every morning it smiled n
greeting to the sun and the sun smiled
back again and told the little river
tales of the lands it had visited. For
the sun is great traveller.
You are very pretty stream" he
said one day, but you should see the
ocean. There is u body of water for
YOU"
And the river listened eagerly to
the suns stories of the great sea, with
its tossing, foam-capped waves and
its wondrous tides; of its lovely treas
ures of pink and white coral and
pearls; of the strange creatures who
lived in the deep salt waters; of the
white-winged ships that sailed away
and away, far out of sight of land.
The river longed for the sea and in
its dreams at night it heard the ocean
'alling in tones of sweetest music:
Come, my little one, rest In me.
Mincle thy waters so pure with NINE
Freshest OF waters with salt sea brine:
Arms OF longing stretch to thee
Beautiful river for thee pinc'
Every day the river grew more and
more impatient to reach the sea. 1t
no longer gossiped and laughed away
the long, happy hours of the day, but
hurried away as fast rs 1t could
toward the voice that seemed to be
ever calling, calling. 1t turned not
to right or left, but pressed straight
onward, every day little faster and
growing ever little wider and
deeper. The day was not long
enough and it pressed on all night by
the light of the stars. Faster, faster,
until it would almost have taken
your breath to see it rushing along.
A part of its way lay through
country parched by long drouth. The
grass in the meadow twas dry and
brown; the pretty flowers in the gar
dens were dropping and dying. But
the river needed not. It's banks were
high and steep now and it could not
see very well over them. And, any
way, what was the death of few
useless flowers, or the sufferings of a
few acres of common grass to one for
whom the boundless ocean was wait
ing?
One day a queer thing happened.
Men came with great rocks and laid
them right in the path of the rushing
waters In vain the river hurled itself
like a mad creature against the firm
wall. Some of the water flowed into
little channels the men had formed,
which ran here and there through the
meadows. The grass drank and was
refreshed and once more was fresh
and green, and the dropping flowers
raised their heads and smiled. But
the little river moaned and sobbed as
if it were breaking it's heart against
the stone wall. Forced to water
meadows and gardens. it's purpose was
married, its course altered, and it
never reached the beautiful sea of its
dreams.

RETRIBUTIoN.

Upon the porch most drowsily
Is stretched the setter sleek and red
While circles wild honey bee
Among the roses overhead
He sharply eyes his longed for prey,
Then like a tiger swiftly springs;
But from his teeth and far away
The bee with little effort wings
And then the bee comes darting down,
swift as an arrow To the plain.
And Fido feels upon his crown
lump that undulates with pain.
Poor F'ido doesn't look as proud
As usual while flying feet,
Envelopcd in great dust cloud,
And bowling madly down the strea
I'm glad he's stung I'm sure it's right
That one so big and strong rs he
Should come TO grief for trying to bite
A little inoTensive bee

Was il better so?
Bravery of "a st. Bernard.

A fire broke out one night not long
since in house in Macon, Ga.
Amongst the inmates was a fine st.
Bernard dog, great favorite of the
children, and especially fond OF the
baby. The dog NAV be said to have
saved the whole family, for as soon as
it saw the flames it awakened the
folk by barking loud and long. Hav-
ing aroused the family, it then ran
out to the barn, and drove all the
cows to safe distance.
Returning to the house, it went to
the nursery, and began Juggling away
at the baby's cradle, the poor animal
being too blinded by the smoke to see
that the infant had already been re-
moved. Attempts were made to get
it out Of the room, but it remained by
the cradle, whining piteously the
while. At last the fire forced every
body back, and the noble creature
persisted In the flames, trying, as 1t
thought, to rescue it's baby friend.

HAS PLENTY OF BACKBONE.
Gov. Tiliman of South Carolina Whe

Ordered Out the Troops.
Gov. Tillman of South Carolina, who
recently became figure in national
politics, is quite young man. He was
born on this side of 1855 and comes OF
the genuine American revolutionary
stock. During the late war his father
believed that the negroes should be
set free, but that state rights were
supreme.
Along the same line of reason the
son believes that wealth belongs to
those who create it; further than that,
he believes that they are very foolish
If they do not take what belongs to
them. For instance: Inasmuch as the
people of South Carolina drank all the
liquor, he saw no reason why lot OF
pesly saloonkeepers should have a
monopoly of selling it, and the state
