STRANGE CAUSE OF FIRE.
An Inspectors Smart Experiment shows

An Inspectors Smart Experiment shows
the sun Was Guilty.
A singular explanation of what was
supposed to have been an incendiary
fire at the Industrial Home for Girls,
Hampstead. England, has just been
furnished. The fire took place re-
Gently. and Inspector Moran, one
of the officials engaged in the inquiry
as to the cause. ascertained that the
sun had been shining very brightly at
Hampstead and that in the morning
full water bottle had been standing in
the room, between the open window
and the macintosh on the wall. The
idea occurred 20 him that the suns
rays, shining through the water in
the bottle. might have set fire to the
macintosh, causing the latter in
turn to ignite the bedding. Accord
ingly, at about noon next day,
when the sun was again shining
brightly. though not so powerfully as
on the previous day, he again pro-

the fire had been caused by the suns

substance from which had fallen on

MADE BY THE HOSTESS.

How Tea Is Usually Served to Visitors in
Japan.
A Japanese host or hostess never in
trusts the making of tea to the SER
wants on company occasions. Either
he or she prepares the decoction in
the presence of the guests. This
ceremonial teamaking is an artistic
process, and is considered an accom-.
plishment" by the natives.
The teapot is little jewel-like
thing. that can be set--nandle. spout
and all-lnside one of the common
sized coffee cups that a foreigner
draws once or twice at q breakfast
The cups are OF fine cloisonne. with
plain enameled Innings. each no larger
round than the circle of tulips petal
can inclose.
There is Ia the service a small
pear-shaped pitcher, a beautifully
wrought bronze tea not in which the
boiling water is brought, and lacquer
box containing the caddy of the
choicest leaves from the fine tea gar
dens OF the Uji district-a tea so rare
and expensive that none of it is ex-
ported or known abroad, and only the
wealthiest japanese can afford to buy
the precious leaves.
The host takes an ivory scoup carved
in the shape OF large leaf. fills the
little teapot full of loosely heaped
leaves, and then having pou ed the
hot water into the pitcher that it may
cool little, pours it INTO the teapot
of leaves.
The hot water barely touches the
leaves in the little teapot when the
host begins pouring off stream OF
pale straw-colored tea into the little
cups, that are then passed, each only
half full of the infusion.

Cures DYSPEPSIA.
A NEW AND REMARKABLE PREPA-
RATION.


A new preparation for the cure Of indi-
gestlon and dyspepsia has recently been
placed on the market, and judging from
cases in which it has been tested it is un-
doubtedly the safest and most eifectual
remedy ever devised FOR the cure Of stom-
ach troubles. 1t is not a secret patent
medicine, but is composed of vegetable
essences. fruit salts. pure pepsin and bis
auth, put up in form of Iozenges or tab
lets pleasant to taste. convenient to carry,
and in this form the good qualities are
preserved indefinitely. The remedy is
called Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, and the
fact that It is not a secret patent remedy
has made it very popular with physicians
and also with dyspeptics everywhere VINO
like to know what they are putting into
their st0machs instead Of some loudly ad-
vsrtised patent preparation.
Mr.. James Newmestes Of Eau Claire,
Wis, relates his experience with this eX-
cellent remedy as follows:
Il bought two packages Of Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets from my druggist. l
bought them because they were highly
recommended to me as a cure for every
form Of indigestion, but l had very little
faith in them or in anything else. as
nothing ever reached my case or helped
me in all the years 1 have had dyspepsia.
Well, took the two packages and to say
that I was pleased does not express il.
They helped me right from the start. and
although l suffered from Dyspepsia for
five long years, yet those two packages
have done me mora good in a single day
than any remedy / had tried before. Stu
arts Dyspepsia Tablets are the first thing
and only remedy that ever really helped
me and put my stomach and digestion
right
No matter how mild or how severe the
Indigestion may be, these Tablets will give
immediate relief and regularly used, a
radical cure.
Anyone wishing to try this new treat
ment can procure it any drug store at
30 cents per package.
If your druggist does not have il in
stock he will get it for you If you insist
upon it as all wholesale druggists sell II.

MURDER Of TWO CHILDREN.
HORRIBLE CRIME COMMITTED NEAR
PAULDING, o.
Little Girl. Aged Six, and boy,
Aged Nine, Killed and Their Bodies
Horribly MutiIated Arrest Of
Charles Hart Who May he Lynched.

PAULDING, o., Nov. 5.-A most ap-
palling murder was discovered here this
morning. Two children Of Samuel Good,
living three miles north of town, were
found in a brush-p.le murdered and
an attempt had been made to burn the
bodies. The girl. aged six, was decapi-
tated and disemboweled, and the boys
throat was cut from ear to ear and his
head nearly several from his body. The
boy was nine years old. The children left
home at 10 a. IN. yesterday. At 3 p. m.
searching party was organized and
searched all night and at o'clock this
morning the bodies We're found. They
presented a most horrible spectacle.
The news of the horrible affair spread
rapidly and soon hundreds of people were
on the scene. Sheriff Staley was among
the number and arrested Charley
Hart, a neighbor boy, who was at
once suspected, and the people Of the
neighborhood are firm in their conviction
Of his guilt. Young Hart says he cannot
read or write and does not know his age.
and is very nervous. When accused or
the crime he denied it in nervous way.
The bodies were found within three rods
of young Hart's home and about half a
mile from the home Of the children. The
little bows boots were found i'm the grass
a short distance from the bodies. Their
little hands were tied together with
piece Of tarred rope attached to a billet OF
wood resembling rough-hewn pump
handle It is thought this will furnish II
definite clew if the boy is guilty. One
of the grounds OF suspicion is that when
the bodies were found the boy discharged
his gun and ran to his home in an excited
manner. He was one of. the searching
party and was not far distant when the
children were found.

early voters at the pos. today. Abou,
10 O'Clock the sun struggled out and the

deep in his overcoat pockets. As ne

NEW YORK, Nov. 6.-The scene on
Newspaper row at $50 tonight, when it

LOSE HOPE EARLY.
Senator Hill and Governor Flower
Receive the Returns.


ALBANY. N. V, Nov. Ga notable
gathering of politicians sat in the execu-
tive chamber tonight and read the returns
furnished by the Associated Press.
Senator Hill arrived at Z o'clock. He
was the first to arrive. Col Williams,
the governors private secretary, came
next Already a batch of Associated
Press bulletins were on Senator HHl's
desk. New York county had been send
ing in returns since 6 O'Clock and they
were not of a favorable nature. At 1880
all hope of saving the state was given
up by those who had thus far arrived.
1t was even feared that New York City
might go republican, and it was conceded
that Hill would not carry the city but
by a few thousand votes.
Governor Flower arrived at the execu-
tive chamber of 7:45. He was shown the
Associated Press dispatches and at once
gave up all hope of saving the state with
the aid of New York City. He said that
1t seemed as if a great tidal wave had
struck the metropolis. He did not know
investigation. He said that he felt that
the wave was coming when he was in
New York This morning. He had hopes
that the up-the-state districts would faE
to Senator Hill. All the time Sena oor
Hill said not a word, but read the As
s0ciated Press returns and consulted a
manual containing the Vo,es of former
years. AS the county returns from up
the state arrived he shook his head and
said:

To the consoling remarks of friends he
made no reply except to smile.
