A DESPERADOE'S CRIME,
TERRIBLE TRAGEDY AT HOUSTON
TEXAS.
An Intoxicated Tough Murders Three
Men, q Baby and Wounds q Wo-
man-Talk of Lynching
the MisCreant.

Houston, Tex, Feb. 19-Tonight
there was committed in the Grand Gem
trail depot one of the most horrible
crimes in the history of Texas. Jim
Mitchell, Richmond man, long known
for his desperate character, shot to death
three men, one little child and wounded
woman. Mitchell had been in the
city all day and had imbibed more OF
less intoxicants. AS near as can be
learned man, not knowing the desper-
ate character of Mitchell, attempted to
demonstrate with him for boisterous
and ungentlemanly conduct in the sta
ton, and he resented the remembrance.
When others Joined the first to remon-
strate with Mitchell, the desperate
pulled q revolver and began shooting.
The station was crowded, and when
the shooting began there was rush
for the doors. The crowd was panic
stricken, with the exception of few
brave men, and many were badly hurt
in the crush. Mitchell emptied his re-
voly er and with each shot some one fell (;
first three men, then q woman and at
last little child. The noise OF the
shooting brought officers to the scene,
and Mitchell, who had been almost for
gotten after the firing by the few who
remained in the station, was quietly re-
loading his revolver preparatory to
shooting some one else or making his
escape. He was taken into custody and
hurried to Jail. News Of the awful tragedy
soon spread over the city and most in
tense excitement prevailed. Men
gathered from every quarter and soon =
great throng surrounded the station
and then the jail, and threats Of lynch
ing were. heard on all sides. Extra
officers were placed on duty and it is
hoped they may be able to prevent
lynching and that the law will be able
to take its course,

The Orihamb,

The CarlOvingian standard wa,
.eally no other than the Oritlamb,
which has played so conspicuous a
part in French history, but wa, not
formally adopted uLtil 1882, in the
reign of Philip l. 1t consisted OF
red or crimson flag mounted on
gilded stan. the flag being cut int,
three vandykes, to represent tongues
of fire, with silken tassel between
each. The old romance writer's pre-
tended that the infldel was blind d
by merely looking at it. In the
''Roman de Garin" the Saracens are
made to exclaim III we only see it,
we shall be dead men," And Frois-
sart affirms that as soon as it was un-
furled at Rosbecue the fog vanished
from the French lie OF battle, leav.
ing their enemies shIouded in dark
ness.
Thus red, the color which the
church has consecrated to her mar
tyrs, became in its turn the color OF
the Frenc b kings. They wore it Oh
their coats of arms through the whole
period of the crusades, and as late as
the 'osinp decade of the fourteenth
century were still faithful to this
glorious blaZon."
The famous Du Guesclin, lighting
against the English chivalry in Poi
tou, wore the red cross, while his ad-
versaries wore the white But after
the great defeat at Agin; Ourt, n
OILS, the French kings abandoned
the oriflamb because it had been as.
sumed by Henry V. and his success
ors. and adopted white as national
color when old England had discarded
It. This is curious but little known
histori al fact.

1t is hard for a certain class Of peo

Of art are not the result Of clever deX-

like unusual and original power is
quite beyond their comprehension,
and they imagine that works of genius
are produced by rule, as a cook makes
a cake or pudding.

living portrait painters, and insisted
upon seeing him on important busi-
ness, although at the time he was

Seeing 276 Miles.

A discussion is going on in Oregon
as to whether MOuAt Shasta in I ali
fornia can be seen from the summit:
OF Mount Hood in the former State.
One OF a party which recently
climbed Hood insists that he saw the
other. peak. with whose outlines he is
familiar. The a tual distance be-
tween them is 276 miles His state
meat was at first ,outed, the COM
putatiCa being made by one mathe-
matician that Shasta is seven miles
below the horizon line of Mount
Hood. Lieut. Taylor Of the United
States Eng neer Corps, Icing ap-
ealed to consulted tables and official
maps, with the following results:
Horizon line from Hood Ul, 200
feet high) 10 miles; horizon line
from Shasta "a, ,44O feet high l47
miles; total visible distance. 27i
miles; actual distance between the
peaks, 276 miles; distance to spare
one mile" From this it would seem
that the projection of the horizon
line from the summit of Hood would
strike the top of Shasta were that
mountain one mile further away
than it actually is For any one
who is not enough Of mathema.
tic an to dispute, or understand,
Lieut. Tayloi's computations, the
fact may be added as bearing upon
the question whether one mountain
is visible from the other, that since

Killing Power of the Riflo.

a German army officer struggling
with a prisoner catches up military
rifle and shoots his opponent through

two thicknesseS of skull the bullet
penetrates the partition of Il railway
carriage and imbcdi itself in
the flesh of passenger But this is

practice camp of Aldershot, was re-
Gently struck at distance Of ,, SO
yards, or one and one-half miles.
The bullet, after passing completely
through the upper part Of the thigh,
buried itself in the ground. Theo-
retically it was evident that the
penetrative energy of these bullets
ought to be capable of passing
through several men in succession,
and experiments with the Cadaver as
a target shows this conclusion sound.
Now, argues the New York Sun, as
the trajectory of these projectileS is
very low one, the space within
which men will be subjected to such
dangers in the field has been greatly
extended. 1t Is thought that fire
may be opened from distance Of
,, 200 yards. 1t is found on trial that
good marksmen can make so per
cent of hits against targets of suit
able dimensions at l, $50 yards. With
smokeless powder and the conseQ Quent
facility of distinguishing clearly at
long distances the aim may become
more accurate than has heretofore
bapn known These cOnSj6eroti tiOnc
have led to call of an international
conference of military medical men,
with Il view to adapting hospital
service to the new eXigencies Of the
field.

On the banks of the Ti-ris and the
Euphrates the licorice plant is chiefly
grown. These great rivers flow
through fiat, treeless prairies of un-
cultivated and nearly uninhabitcd
and. For three months of the year
hot winds blow, and the tempera,
ture reaches lO4 degrees.
For six months of the year the eli
mate is moderate and sa'ubriOuS, and
for three months bleak and wintcry,
the thermometer going down to 80
degrees at night.
The licorice plant is small shrub
with light foliage. growing to abou,
three feet high, where its roots can
reach the water. 1t grows without
any cultivation. No lands are leased
for the purpose and no objection is
made to its being cultivated. It grows
IN red earth soil, and almost on
Eight, almost sandy soil, where the
wood is best, provided it has plenty
of water, and the ground is not more
than fifty yards from the actual river

The wood, after being once dug UP

collecting IS generally during the win
ter, but it is possible all the yeaI
round. The root when dug is full
of water, and must be allowed to
dry, process which takes the best
part of Il year. 1t is then sawed OF
cut into small pieces from six inches
to a foot long.
The good and sound pieces ar.
kept. and the rotten ones are used
for tlrewood. 1t s then taken in ma

manufacture of tobacco.
The black licoricc stick sold it,

and is made of pure juice mixed with
Il little starch, which prevents it
from melting in hot weather. The
word "licorice" is of Greek origin,
and means sSweet root"
