Let our daily labor raise the standard of
manhood as to dignity and nobility.
The most skeptical man in the world is
the man that studies himself most.


A woman who writes for newspapers
said the other day in the course of a dis
cussion on modern cookery: II have
family of three growing boys as well as
hungry husband to cater for, and my
experience has been that l can do it
most effectually on the simplest diet l
do not mean by that unpalatable food
or that which is poorly prepared. l
mean a good deal of steaks and chops.
with well prepared vegetables. have
no time myself to see after the affairs
of the kitchen, and l cannot afford to
hire what is called fancy cook, but
/ have come to the conclusion that my
family thrives best on what is thus
given them, substantial but not rich
nor varied dishes. At any rate, they
are always we'll and strong and happy,
and what more can / ask than thatr'-

The Love Of Elegant Precedent In the
French Revolutionary Leaders.

The Love Of Elegant Precedent In the
French Revolutionary Leaders.
Mr.. John G.. Alger says in his
"Glimpses of the French Revolution"
that very noticeable feature of the rev.
dictionary leaders was their admiration
for the classical writers and their imita-
ton of the Roman people The speeches
and writings of the times were full OF
illusions to and SMILES drawn from the
poets and philosophers of antiquity.
Says Mr.. Alger ON this point;
Some Of the revolutionists not merely
quoted the Romans, but initiated them.
Claviere killed himself on the eve OF
his trial, Valaze stabbed himself in the
dock, Condorcet, Buzot, Barbaroux and
Roland also committed suicide. Verg-
MAUD had intended TO do likewise, but
at the last moment changed his purpose
Chabot attempted suicide. Mime. Ro-
land, who at IL years Of age regretted
not being Spartan or a Roman, had to

Keen Plant Leaves Glenn.

One of the difficulties in the cultiva-
ton of plants in sitting room is that
the dry air and dust tend to clog the
pores of the leaves Deprived Of the
rain which would naturally cleanse
them and not often watered with a rose
pot or syringe, the plants kept in a room
are apt gradually to lose their health
and look miserable, if they do not alto
gether die. The best remedy for this is
the regular use Of small piece of soft
old sponge with slightly warm water,
and if little soft soap is added all the
better. Especially is this necessary in
the winter when dust is rife, and as
''blight' is then at its weakest point
thorough cleansing during the cold
months will result in freedom from it
during the summer Practice and deli
cate handling are needed for success.
Some plants are much easier to sponge
than others. Among these may be men
toned the india rubber plant, and also
small specimens of palms, both of which
need frequent washings when grown in
a room. Orange trees and many other
plants exude kind of sticky essential
oil, which catches the dust. They there
fore require special attention. Aspidis-
tras and many other plants need spong-
ing often to keep them in health-in
and others which will bear it are
strengthened and improved by the free
use of the sponge Leader.

PUT ABULLET IN HER BRAIN
Mrs. Stella AkTidge Commits Suicide
at Macon.

Going Into a Hardware Store She
Called for a Rsvolver-on Being
Shown How it Worked She Put it to
Her Temple and Fired the Fatal
Shot-Mrs. Akridge From Savannah.
Macon, Ga, Jan. 25.-Mrs. Stella Ak
ridge, woman apparently about 80 years
of age, deliberately committed suicide in
a most sensational manner here this after
noon.
Shortly after 5 o'clock, a woman
dressed in a shabby brown skirt and
though the wind was blow
ing cold from the north, walked
hurriedly into STATIONS gun store and
asked the clerk for ladies' pistol, and
was shown small 32-calibre Bull Dog.
She asked if it would kill, and on being
assured that it would, asked TO be shown
how it worked. The clerk did so, and at
her request loaded the weapon.
PUT BULLET IN HER TEMPLE.
''Now," she said, cooking it, "will it
shoot?'' And before the affirmative was
well out Of the mans mouth she placed 1t
to her right temple and fired. Keeling
backwards, she fell prone, and though she
breathed heavily for nearly an hour, she
died without recovering consciousness.
When searched by the coroner's jury
trunk check and key were found, and the
trunk being opened, it developed that the
woman was from Savannah.
SEEKING A DIVORCE.
Letters in the trunk showed some deep
family trouble, and also that she was
seeking a divorce from her husband,
Thomas p. Akridge, to whom she was
married in Fulton county, according to
certificate found, on March 4, 1889. She
had been a mem Der of the Baptist church
of Bain6ridge, having a letter of dis
missal, dated last October, in the trunk.
Further particulars could not be learned
tonight II is thought from the letters,
from which dates and signatures were
removed, that the woman originally came
from New Orleans Her maiden name
was Stella Sanford

A. B. HINKLE ON THE STAND
he Gives His Version Of the Killing
Of DR.. WOTSham.

His Story Is to the Effect That the
Man Killed Abused His Father and
Himself and Then Assaulted Him
With Brass Knuckles-His Father
Fired the Fatal Shots to Save Him
From Being Killed.
Americas, Ga, Jan. 25.-The first wit
ness this morning was DR. A. B. Hinkle
In defense of his father He testified
that he and his father were on the point
of leaving their office at 5:15 O'Clock
when DR. Worsham came by. DR.. Wor-
sham stopped and coming up to the wit
ness said Don't you speak TO me, or even
look at me"
The witness father at this moment
came out of the office door, when DIR.
Worsham said to him ''you damned
puppy don't you speak to me, or look at
me"
The older Hinkle replied; 'You go
your way and L will go mine
DR. Worsham continued TO be aggres-
sive, and finally drew a weapon from his
hip pocket. The witness thought it was
apistol, but it proved to be brass l1nuckles.
He knocked the witness to the ground.
Believing he was being killed, the wit
ness called TO his father: HE is killing
me" His father then fired the fatal
shots.
To explain his fathers success in firing
the fatal shots with two pistols, one in
each hand, he said his father was ambi-
dextrous. The witness swore that Dr.
Worsham drew the knuckles from his hip
pocket and that his Overcoat was I'M
buttoned. Other witnesses swore that
ta4.# L.. "a l.
was killed. His testimony closely fol-
lowed the statement of his father read
yesterday, but some discrepancies were
brought out on the cross eXamina tion.
BRASS KNUCKLEs NEAR THE CORPSE.
Will Mathis testified that in helping to
carry DIR. Worshams body he heard
something fall, and he picked up a pair of
brass knuckles. Policeman Barrow did
not know whether they fell from the
body or were thrown down by some
one. On cross examination he stated
that the knuckles we're a foot or more
from DIR. Worsham's arm.
James Butts testified to hearing DIR.
Worsham say the Hinkles had threat
ened TO whip him and that if they at
tempted II he was man enough TO whip
both of them
Policeman Wheeler testified that he
felt knots on A. B. Hinkles head He
thought they were made by brass hmuck-
les
Charles Carter, colored, was introduced
and swore that he was near DR.. Hinkles'
Office when the shooting began He ran
toward the firing. According to his state
ment considerable time elapsed between
the first and last shots. His testimony
was so glaringly false that it damaged
rather than benefited the defense.
DIR. Darby was the last witness. He
testified mainly as to the nature and
direction of the wounds. 1t had very
little value as going to show whether the
killing was murder.
The general impression tonight is that
the evidence to-day has not materially
weakened the case made out by the state

M'cREARY's REPORT ON HAWAII.
The Democrats OF the Foreign Affairs
Committee Adopt It

Committee Adopt 1t.
Washington, Jan. 25.-The House COM
mittee on foreign affairs to-day, by a
strict party vote, authorized Representa-
tive McCreary, of Kentucky, to report
favorably on his resolution defining the
attitude Of congress towards Hawaii.
Inc resolution reads as follows, and will
PROBABLY be reported to the House to
morrow:
Resolved, That # is the sense Of this
House that the action Of the United States
minister IN employing United States naval
forces and in illegally aiding in the over
throwing of the constitutional government OF
the hawaiian Islands IN January. 1898 and in
. setting up IN its place provisional govern
ment not republican in form and in opposl-
tloh 10 me VIII OF q majority OF the people.
was contrary to the traditions OF our republic
ana the spirit OF our constitution, and should
be, and Is condemned
,, That we heartily approve Of the principle
announced by the President Of the United
states that interference with the domestic
aHalrs OF an independent nation is contrary
70 the spirit OF American institutions; and 1t
IS the further sense of this House that the an
neXation OF the Hawaiian Islands 10 our coun-
Wy, or the assumption OF protectorate over
tnem Dy our government, is uncalled for and
IS 1neXpedient; that the people of the country
should nave absolute freedom and indie
pendence In pursuing their own line Of policy,
and that Foreign intervention in political
affairs in the Islands will not be regarded
with Indifference by the government OF the
United States.
THE REPUBLICANS TO MAKE A REPORT.
The resolution represents the sentiment
OF the nine democratic mem ers of the
committee, and will form the basis of
discussion of the Hawaiian matter in the
House.
Chairman McCreary expects to bring
the matter to the atUent ion of the House
as soon as the tariff bill is disposed of, on
Tuesday or Wednesday next.
The republican mem bers of the commit
tee spoke and voted against the resolu-
tion, and will file a minority report and
substitute for the McCreary resolution.
Mr. Hit, of Illinois, the leading repub-
Hcan on the committee was unable TO at
tend the meeting to-day on account of
sickness. Hewill proba bly, draw up the mi
nority report and substitute for the Nc
Creary resolution. The nature of the re-
port and substitute cannot be ascer-
tanned until Mr.. Hit has been consulted
by his republican colleagues.
