A GREAT ARMoRY DEsTRoYED.-A
great armory in the lockyard at Bermu-
dahas been destroyed by frewith total
loss of 900 Hundreds of machine
guns were destroyed, also rifles, swords,
bayonets and hundreds of cases OF
shrapnel shells. These shells were in
tend for the big 100-tonners, and the ex-
plosion that followed shook the place.
Sailors and marines from the Blake
and other warships in port were callt d
out and fought bravely from $3.50 o'clock
until midnight. The proximity of the
fire to the magazine, where is tons of
powder were stored, caused the utmost
apprehension.

His Sin Found HIM Out.

The arrest of George Decker, one OF
the richest and most prominent men OF
Siskiyou county, CAL, tor the murder oil
his wife and child, 81 years ago, has
caused sensation. Last week sheep
herder in the hills, five miles from
Yreka. Cal, found the bones of wo-
man and child in a cave. He reported
his discovery and investigation showed
that the woman's skull had been clovcn
and that the child was nursing babe,
as its jaw bones were toothless. Detec-
tives were put on the case and they un-
earthed chain of evidence that led to
Deckers arrest.
1t seems that in '67 Decker arrived in
Yreka with his wife and two children.
Soon he began to neglect his wife for a
widow who had some property. His
conduct excited gossip and the wife re-
ceived much sympathy. She had an
other child, and when this baby was six
months old she announced one day that
her husband was going to send her
away. Her husband had tried many
devices to compromise her reputation
but without success, as he wanted di-
vorce.
The whole family left in a wagon,
and few days later Decker returned
with the two children. He said his
wife had been sent by stage to Shasta.
Soon after Decker procured divorce
and married the widow. She died, and
Decker, from property she left him, be-
came wealthy. His neighbors say he
fears solitude and frequently cries out
in his sleep.
Nothing was ever heard of the first
Mrs. Decker. The skeleton found has
been identified as that of the missing
woman, and witnesses have been found
who remember that the little children
on their return with Decker said their
father took the mother and baby away
and then returnedwithout them. The au-
thorities declare they have complete
circumstantiai evidence against Decker,
who has lived all these years in fanci-
full security. The place where the skel-
etons were found was seldom visited, as
it is on an almost inaccessible rocky
height.

posing that his houses held, on the
average, as many people as the one I

In my pocket-supposing that it was to
be acquired only by the process of fru-
gality recommended to us in our youth
by the Sunday school bool1s-it would
have been necessary for all my ances-
tors in the direct line, beginning with
Adam, to have earned as much as / am
now earning, to have saved all of it by
living on their relations and to have
stolen half as much more every week
to add to their savings. BY this simple
and easy process it would have been
possible for our family to have accu-
mulated $50, 900. 900 in the few years
that have elapsed since the serpent
tempted Eve, and thus introduced to
our attention the subject of spring
fashions which / am now supposed to
be discussing.
There will be fellows like Mr.. Long
Green scattered all through the pro-
cession this year, and l shall see them
as we go to church, a fine subject l
shall be for religious instruction when
we get there. My eye will be as green
as the gentleman's pocket by the time

New York is a dreadful place for an
envious man. One can hardly tu-n a
corner without running against a man
who is worth a couple of millions.
And the mount represented by the
Easter Sunday crowd on the
is something which will not bear
thinking of. Now. W when | am euvious

Mark, however, the different effect
produced upon woman
When Maude first saw Mrs. Long
Green's Easter rig h was consumed
with envy, and thoroughly glad Of it.
That was what she had come for.
Next to the pleasure OF exciting that
feeling is the delight of suffering ii.
And a woman is so mercifully fOrti-
fed with personal vanity that she
never loses sight OF the fact that
body is envying her, or at least
ought to be. There are plenty
of old women in the Easter
crowds who would give all their
husbands money land throw the
husbands in with it, to be young
again, and other. who are sick and

fortune for a very moderate amount OF
beauty. So a woman who is young,
and we'll, and pretty. cannot be un-
happy on the avenue, even if she has a
husband who owns only what he has
earned and very little of that. A
woman's envy appeals directly TO her
imagination and that is the secret Of
her happiness. For instance, in this
case Maude knew that Mrs. Long
Green's clothes fitted her perfectly.
She has too fine a taste to make a mis-
take On that point But she was able
to imagine that the clothes were not
what Mrs. Long-Green wanted.
"A woman who looks like that" said
Maude, cant possibly have the least
taste. She can hire a milliner to dress
her, but she can't like her clothes, be-
cause they are good and her taste is
bad. Therefore, she must be unhappy
when she is well dressed" 1 do not

l shall witness the Easter Sunday
dress parade on Fifth avenue this year,
as usual. Why? / give it up. Posi-
bly, because my wife wishes to go; but
this is not often a motive OF conduct
with me or any other man. Perhaps it
will be from force Of habit. for I have
not missed the show for many years.
But on the whole l prefer to say hat |
shall go because of my artistic appre-
citation of contrast. The spectacle
would be incomplete if only the rich
would be there. | shall wear a new
suit Of clothes which will be made just
like Mr.. Cr9sus'. except for the trim
ming or the inside of his trousers
pocket. Mine will be made perfectly
plain. They were worn that way, this
spring, more commonly than before.
Mr.. Cr9sus' pocket will be trimmed
with a sort of green, technically known
as the long green" never wear that
shade
One might suppose that the trimming
on the inside of a trousers pocket
would not be very conspicuous in a
crowd; but he would be mistaken. The
experienced eye never fails to detect it.
This method of trimming the pocket is
carried to such an extreme, here in
New York, as to be positively painful
to some of US. THE long green" is a
very trying shade to those who do
not wear it. The sight of SO much

will hurt my eyes. Last year, on
Easter Sunday, 1 walked several
blocks almost side by side with a
man whose pocket was adorned
with thirty million separate pieces
Of long green trimming. As I
walked, l made some simple cal
culations as to that pocket. l lived at
that time in a four-story fat house
worth S14, 600. The green trimming in
the gentleman's pocket, therefore,
represented 2,143 such houses. Allow
ing them a 28-foot frontage they would
occupy one side of a street so, 900 feet
long, or a little more than nine miles
and a half. Allowing for the width of
i~ntersecting streets, the gentleman's
houses would reach from the Battery
to the back side Of Goatville. and tie
