Miss Painter Shot the Tramp.

Two tramps waylaid Miss Lizzie
Painter of Hopewell, Pa, one even
ing recently. and one of them re-
ceived a pistol bullet in his arm.
Miss Fainter, who is music teach
er. was driving from the home of
one of her scholars to Hopewell. in
a lonely part of the road, when a
man, evidently a tramp, jumped out
from the roadside and commanded
her to get out Of the wagon. For an
answer Miss Painter raised a rev0l-
yer and shot, and with cry Of pain
the man dropped his hold on the
horse, with bullet IN his wrist. At
this moment another man ran out to
catch the horse and the young woman
fired at him also, but missed. The
horse became frightened and rushed
down the road before the second
man could stop it. Since then a dill
1gent search has been made for the
tramps. but they have not yet been
found.

Last June, while Mrs. Lizzie llalli-
day was on trial in Monticello. y. y,
for murder, as Sheriff Beccher was
one day conducting her into court,
she turned upon him and bit him say
agely on the hand. The wound healed
readily at the time. but recently it
began to burn and give him intense
pain, and his arm is enormously
swollen up to the elbow. 1t is now
thought that he will lose his arm, if
not his life. The defense set up for
the murderess was insanity. The
doctors pronounced her sane and she
was sentenced to death. Possibly the
result Of her bite may result in miti-
eating her sentence, as it is known
that the bite of insane persons is al
most as poisonous as that of hydro
phObia patients.

TOO Much lieliQiOn.

A religion that leads to the rupture
OF the natural aud necessary relations
of life is not sort that is very desir-
able. A revival has been in progress
in Hammondsport, Ohio, during the
past week which has borne a good
deal of that sort of fruit. Many peo-
pie have been worked up to a high
pitch of excitement and several wo-
men have abandoned their husbands,
because the latter would not join the
church. The husband of one of these
women waylaid the evangelist in
charge of the meetings and tried to
kill him for estranging his wife. One
young woman is reported to have lost
her mind. She went about the streets
singing hymns and praying until she
was restrained.

the choicest examples of ancient art

collection possesses, 1t is a vase OF
this metal in its purest condition,
without culptures, measuring nearly
eight inches in height and about four
inches in diameter. 1t is Of Roman
origin, perhaps OF the period of Au-

of the vessel indicates that it's weis ht

be all that remains of wreck which
occurred there nearly 2000 years ago.
