TRAGEDY AT sHELBYvILLE.

SHELBYvILLE, Tenn, April 6 -Last
evening about o'clock William Posey
was killed by his father in law, John
w. Trollinger, in front of Trollinger's
gate. There had been bad feeling be-
tween the two men for some time ow-
ing to family Quarrels.
The accounts are conflicting. One
side claims that Trollinger did the
killing in self defense, Posey having q
knife in his hand, while the other side
claims that Posey had no weapon and
made no overt act, the killing being
the result of an ordinary quarrel.
The preliminary hearing was post
poned until next Tuesday. The granC
jury now in session will probably take
cognizance.

A Lesson in Charity.

Not long ago the agent OF a charita-
BILE society in western city had Wis
IL from disabled old soldier-a PEN
sioner-who gave him the sum of seven
hundred dollars for the relief of the
poor The veteran made no condition
with his gift except that his name
should not be made public, nor used in
any way. The pensioner was not man
Of means, but had saved every cent of
the money he gave from his pension, as
It came to him month by month. This
example Of generous and modest char
ity from limited means Is an admoni-
ton that not alone those who possess
large means may help their fellow
beings In trouble. Undoubtedly the
rich should be generous, but there Is
no reason why they alone should be
depended upon, even in times when no
extraordinary calamity has fallen, to
carry all the burdens of charity. The
habit of giving a certain proportion OF
ones income TO the poor, the unfortun-
ute or the benighted is no less morally
incumbent upon people Of small means
than upon those of large means.
Though an income Is small and must
be sparingly used, 1t is probable that
II will not suffer in the long run from
the use Of certain proportion Of it in
good works.

RECENT reports that leading bee
keepers have been adulterating their
honey-both extracted and in the comb
have had a tendency to frighten CON
sumers of that choice article. 1t Is be
lieved, however, that these reports are
false, and the result of competition
and jealousy among vendors of hives
and other bee keepers supplies. Two
dealers in Cleveland, o., who sold honey
In producers original packages, have
been compelled to pay large fines
(most of which is cost Of COURT for
selling what further evidence Is prov
ing to be pure honey. The decisions
were based on reports of chemical
analysis, and 1t is coming to be under
stood that the present state of the
science OF chemistry is quite unable to
cope with the problem of honey ndul-
iteration. In one of the cases referred
TO, it is reported that the injured dealer
is taking process of law to recover
damages, chemists having since disa-
greed in his case.

A NEW filling for thermometers to
take the place OF quicksilver, which
often solidifes in cold weather, has
been found in tulnol. 1t is extracted
from coal tar. 1t contains absolutely
no water, can stand a much lower tenn
perature than quicksilver without
freezing, and when exposed to warmth
extends with great regularity. Besides
possessing these admirable properties,
1t is very cheap; and as 1t is much
lighter than quicksilver the tube OF
the Thermometer can be made much
larger than is now usual, and thus 1t
will not only be much easier TO read
the record, but greater eXactitudc in
registration will be secured. The dark
blue color of tulnol is another element
which will contribute to the case of
reading the thermometer.

A RANcnER on Vashon Island, Wash,

Last fall he found box which con
tanned about two hundred pounds OF
what he thought was a fine quality of
frcproof paint floating in the sound.
The paint was packed in small tin cans
and bore foreign label, and as it had
cost him nothing he thought hc would
paint his house with it. The house is
now painted inside and out, and in
doing so the greater portion OF the
paint was consumed. The rancher has
discovered, much TO his sorrow, that in
stead OF hreproof paint he has his
house covered with about three thou
sand dollars worth OF struggled opium.

Special Correspondence to Ioaca State Bystandsr.
Columbia, Mo-, from attending the
Annual State Association of the Chris
tian Church (colored) of that state.
More money was raised than at any
annual session since the state organiza-
ton, $1,000 for college purposes and
$4,000 in offerings during the sessions.
Rev Lomax was elected one of the
officers of the state board, also one of
the officers on the staff of the editorial
committee for the church paper. He
was elected general financial agent for
the college and one of the officers in the
board of directors. Rev. Lomax preach
ed last Sunday at II a. m. for Rev.
Amos johnson, of the Baptist Church
of Columbia. The large audience chat
attended was held spell-bound for one
hour. He preached the valedictory
Sunday evening for the convention.
The second board meeting of the year
will be held at the Christian Tabernacle
at Ottumwa, Ia. Rev. Lomax goes to
Moberly, Mo-, to hold a mass meeting,
and should the citizens subscribe more
than Paris, Lexington, Columbia or
Chillicothe, they are likely to get the
college there. The work of the Chris
tian Tabernacle at Ottumwa is getting
along nicely and its future prospects
are very hattering Three among the
first families of Columbia are expecting
to locate in Ottumwa. Each of these
families are situated financially to pur-
chase their own home and will add
material interest to Rev. Lomax's
church and the city of Ottumwa.
