In point of precedence in presenting
there is none, only the younger woman to
the older, and man to a woman, a pro-
fessional man always by his title. The
woman in her own home should always
shake hands when a guest is presented;
men should shake each others hands. The
southern fashion Of woman extending
her right hand to man is charming. Ia
is now carried out to some extent IN New
York.
At ball the introductions should be
distinctly formal. Handwriting is not
correct, and here again common sense
comes in, for it is most awkward for a
woman to place flowers and fan while
shaking hands.
No man, when presented to a woman at
q dance, should fail in asking for her card.
His introduction means dance.
What is the best form of presenting peo-
ple9
None is SO good az the simplest 'Mia-
Brown, may present my dear friend, Mr..
Jones?'' is all that is most elegant.
At any function less important than
large ball it is always pleasant to add q
little note of interest to the presentation,
which breaks the ice and leads the way for
conversation.
These matters may seem a bit trivial 40
first, but the omission Of them does not
lead to pleasurable results.-New York
Advertiser.

One Sister Escapes by Jumping
from a Window.

MEXICO, No, Nov. 2o.-Ear1y yes.
terday morning a horrible tragedy
occurred near Wensviile, = little vii
1age eighteen miles east Of this place.
Thomas Porterchsck, q Bohemian,
presumab bly, in It Of insanity. killed
his mother, 2 sister and brother
with an axe. Another sister escaped
through the window while he was
Staying his mother
After completing the wholesale
slaughter the maniac threw lamp
on the floor, lighted the spilled oil
with match and committed suicide
Sunday afternoon Portercheck was
discovered acting strangely and gave
Indications that his mind was de-
ranged He abored under the hal
1ucinatiOn that his neck was broken
and insisted that physician be sum
mOned- His relatives endeavOred to
convince him of his error and tried to
get him to 60 to bed He insisted on
sitting u all night.
Late sunday night the family re-
tired, leaving Thomas IN rocking
chair. At o clock yes terday morn
ing his sister Mary was awakened by
an agonizing scream from her mother
When she emerged from her bed
room she found her mother lying On
the floor, while Thomas was standing
over her brandishing an axe The
floor was covered with blood, and
from an adjoining room the other
brother, James, could be heard moan
ing in the agony of death. The girl
ran through the house. ana finding
all the doors locked, opened a win
dow and jumped to the ground She
remained at the window and as her
brother Thomas made no attempt to
follow her, she stood and watched
him at his murderOus work.
The maniac seized can of
coal oil and after pouring it
over the floor and furniture, set
it on fire. H then drew a butcher
knife across his throat and fell by
the side of his mother. The poor
girl attempted to extinguish the
Games but they spread SO quickly
that in less than ten minutes the
house was a mass of fire. The
screams of the girl awakened the
neigh bOrs and they rushed to the
scene but the flames had already
finished the work which the maniac
had commenced. When the blazing
tim bers had cooled sufficiently to
allow a search of the ruined home
four bodies were found blacl1sn ned

had ben horribly mutilated by an
axe. 1t is believed that Thomas had
first killed his brother, then S sis
ter and mother. 1t was probably his
intention to kill his sister Mary also.
The mother had been an invalid for
twelve years, and had been confined
to her bed during that time.

HoasEFLEsH FOR FOOD.

The Taste For IL Spreading In Europe.
Sentiment and Science Against 1t.
Hippophagy, or, to speak less euphenis-
tically, the habit of eating horseaesh, ia
spreading in Europe. While savage man
is known to have stated his ravenous hum
ger on horseheah or any other VARIETY Of
flesh he could ind, the modern origin OF
this peculiar taste dates from the siege Of
Paris during the Franco Prussian war,
when the populaco were compelled from
dire necessity to sacrifice this noble quad
ruped to sustain life. Many acquired
taste for the meat, and the demand foI
it did not cease with the capitalization Of
the city.
1t was to be seen on sale at many On
the butchers stalls and has been ever since
a staple article OF diet for thousands of the
poor of the French capital. For horse
flesh is much cheaper than beef. Beef in
Paris is worth 90 cents a pound, while
horsedesh can be had for cents a pound,
which affords reason why the barbaroue
custom should take such "a firm hold upon
these people when once necessity gave IA
root.
Once planted In Paris, the practices
spread to other continental cities. especial
~ to B erin, where horseflesh is now con-
sumed In considerable quantities by the
poorer classes, and the medical authorities
and humanitarians are raising their voices
against what they justly consider a bar
barous and dangerous custom.
The medical men warn the eaters OF
horsedesh that the horse is peculiarly la
bic to the disease known as triohinosis,
also found in hogs, and while cooking
generally destroys the germs of this dis
ease 1t cannot always DO depended upoH
to do SO. The disease is frightfully fatal
in its effects and battles medical skin.
The humanitarians take the ground OF
sentiment, urging the almost human af-
lection Of the horse and the close compan-
ionship he has shared with man since the
dawn Of the human race. a base return,
they deem it, to slaughter and eat this
noble creature. In spite Of these warnings
and protests hippophagy is on the increase
in Europe. 1t has not yet reached Eng
land, nor is it likely to as long as the roast
beef and mutton Of Australia and New
Zealand last. Still, if the sentimental
Britishers are too squeamish to eat their
horses, they are not too squeamish to sell
them to the continent to be eaten. Quite
a number of superannuated equines are
exported for that purpose.-New York

CoNEY ISLAND, Nov. 2O.-The fact

The next bout was between Paddy

pace proved too hot for the Quaker
Lad. and after they had fought for
one minute and forty-hve seconds,
the bout was stopped on accOtnt Of
police interference. The referee
CAV his cecisiOn IN favor of Goaman.
Next came the McAuliffe-Z eigler
bout.
First round-Zeigler at once pro

After the contestants left the ring
it was discovered that McAuliffe had
broken two small bones in his left

there has been much dissatisfaction

WASHINGTON. Nov 2o-In the SUI
preme court to-day opinions were
handed down in several cases
involving rights Of Indians In
two of these cases the ques-
ton had been raised whether the
Delaware and Shawnee Indians were
entitled to any part Of the proceeds

The decision in both cases was deliv-
cred by Justice Brewer and was to
the effect that the Shawnees and
Delawares having been absorbed by
the Cherokee tribe, were entitled to
equal benefits from such sales or
from the prOce eds of the other similar
transactions Of the Cherokees them
selves
The money sought by the Shaw

SPOILED THE CASE

Main witness Against the Tennessee
Lynchers Gives the Prosecution a S1ip.
MEMPHIS, Tenn, Nov. 2O-The
prosecution of Ned Smith and w. s.
r chardson, charged with the lynch
ing Of six negroes near Millington.
Tenn, in this county, last August re-
ceived a severe setback yesterday
when Butch McCarver went on the
stand and stated that he is an inhdel,
and was therefore incompetent, under
the laws of Tennessee, to give testi-
mOnv before a jury in a capital one.
Butch McCarver is the man on whom
the state mostly relied for a conv1c-
ton, as he was invited, previous to
the occurrence, to take hand in it.
Immediately after McCarver's SEN
sational statement in the court he
was arrested on a bench warrant
charged with perjury. 1t is also
given out by Attorney General Patter-
son that he will Immediately proceed
against A. J. McCarver, the sheriff
Of the county. and the father of
Butch, to remove him from Office.
