DENIES THAT IT WAS A MURDER

BUFFALO, June Is, 1S94-George Barbh-
olomew, who shot and killed ex-City Clerk
Delaney last evening, says of the shooting:
Il went to Delaney's room, accompanied
by woman. | knew where the room was
and went in on Delaney unexpectedly. lie
knew me, and expecting that 1 might do him
injury prepared 70 fight. l threw off my
coat We came together, and the revolver
was discharged. l did not shoot him. The
pistol went off accidentally"
Bartholomew explained that he brought
revolver with him because Delaney was a
big man and that he was small man. He
feared Delaney would get the best of him,
and if it came to the worst he would use the
gun.
Bartholomew declared emphatically that
he did not go to Delaney's room for the pur-
pose of killing him, but that he desired to
satisfy his mind of his wife's guilt.

Mrs Mulvaney, the original had q big
time at Mrs Paynes house night before last.

AN AUSTRALIAN FEDERATION.
BIZ Gable to the United Press.

LONDON, June IL, 1694.-The Pail Mall
Gazette prints a long article commenting on
the proposal of Sir George R. Dlbbs, Prime
Minister of New South Wales, for the estab-
lishment of Australian Federation following
the precedent of the Dominion of Canada in
its construction The Gazette expresses the
opinion that the principal difficulty in the
way of the success OF such plan would be
the protective tendencies Of Victoria and the
free trade principles which dominate New
South Wales. The only hope, the Gazette
thinks, is in the system proposed by Mr.. J.
Hofmeyer, the Afrikander leader, which
contemplates free trade within the empire
and a 81 per cent. dd Udtorenl duty against
the world The revenue derived from the
operation of such system would form a
fund for Imperial defence.
The Gazette hopes that Mr. Hofmeyer will
succeed in converting sufficient number of
the delegates to the Ottawa Conference to
advocacy of his system.

PREHISTORIC OYSTERS.
Were a Common Article of Food
The Annual Production I'm This

Nyere Common Article of Food
The Annual Production I'm This
That oysters were a common article Of
food in prehistoric times we have abundant
evidence in the 'kitchen-middens, or shell
mounds of the Neolirhic age. Numbers of
these kitchen mounds, says the Epicure,
containing immense quantities of oysters
and other shells, the bones of animals and
various articles made of flint have been
found in Denmark, Scotland, ireland,
and some in different parts of the United
States.
Oysters were favorite dish with the
ancient Greeks; Calisthenes, who lived 300
or 400 years B. c., was great oyster eater,
and Aristides was passionately fond OF
them.
The L..dn poets sang their praises and
Cicero, Seneca, Juvenal, Vitellius and other
celebrated Romans were ardent lovers of
the delicious mollusk.
The first person to transplant and cnlti-
vate oysters was one Sergius Aurata. who
lived in the first century B. G. From their
birthplace on the coast he removed them to
Lake Lucrine, and supplied the Roman epi-
cures with natives"
When or where the edict was issued pro-
hibitlng the use of oysters in those months
that contain no R in their names is lone of
those things that no fellow can find out"
Yet the custom of abstaining from eating
the bivalves during this period the world
over
Unlike many old proverbs or rules, the
one relating to oysters is based on common
sense. May ana June is the spawning sea-
son, and during this period, and for some
time afterward, the flesh of the oyster is
| lean watery and unpalatable.
| Many fabulous tales have been told of the
number of oysters eaten by single indi-
vidual, but the celebrated Frenchman, Bril-
lat Savarin, vouches for the truth of the
statement that French officer named
!, IIaporte ate thirty-two dozen raw oysters
and swallowed a hearty dinner on top of
| them
The United States produces annually
more than twice as many as all Europe
Belgium leads i'll the foreign markets as re-
CARDS quantity, with England a close second.

NICE SCHEME NIPPRD IN TIE BUD
Effort to Have Edward Esuret Sign
Away His Property.

away E1fS properly.
Edward Buret of West Hobollen, who is
in Christ Hospital in a serious condition
from his attempt at ,self-murder, after hav-
ing tried to kill his wife, received remark
able visit Wednesday.
While Buret was delirious and asking in
an incoherent manner how he was struck by
trolley car, two women and a man demand
ed to see him. One of the women said she
was Buret's sister. The party was admitted
to the sick man, and the alleged sister drew
from her pocket a deed which she asked
Buret to sign.
The delirious man was about to do as re-
quested when Deputy Sheriff Schultz, who
guards Buret, interposed objections. The
Deputy ascertained that the deed would pre-
vent the wife of Buret from being able to
inherit any of his estate, valued $4,000,
should he die before her, and he refused to
let Buret sign it unless in the presence of
disinterested parties.
When the sister learned this she and her
friends left the hospital in bad frame of
mind.
