The Joke That an American Had on an
Englishman.

The Joke That an American Had ON an
EngIishman.
A certain Philadelphia gentleman OF
more name than fame was ordered by
his physician to travel for the benefit
of his honlth.
He went to England, and after firing
of humping through London he decided
to hire trap and see the beauties OF
interior England in dignifed ease and
luxury.
| Just then he fell in with hearty,
good-natured Englishman, and as they
soon became fast friends, the American
invited the other to attend him on his
coaching trip.
The son of John Bull accepted, and
during the days of pleasure that fol-
lowed, each frequently and in a joking
manner improved every occasion to
laud his own country and express his
contempt of the other.
On the evening of the fourth day, as
they were driving along dusty road,
the American pulled the horses up
suddenly and proceeded to read sign:
ITO Manchester twenty miles," and
underneath were the words: eff you
cannot read this sign apply for infor-
nation at the blacksmith shop"
swell, I'll be darned!" said the
American. eff that isn't the most RI
diculous sign ever saw!'

lishman, that sign is all right, isn't
it? don't see anything the natter
"You don't, Ell? Well, then, you just
sleep over it and see what you think in
the morning"
The next morning the EnglishmaE
came down beaming.
81 say, old man." he said, wisely,
"that was a funny sign to put up, for
don't you see the blacksmith might
not be in after all, you know."-Bos-

upturned cretaceous strata. he had
landed upon depression which gave
way beneath his weight and he fell
perpendicularly into a crevice twelve
feet deep. This crevice has since be-
come famous as the Laran portal.
At it's bottom he discovered the de-
scent which led to the arena and hav-
ing exploited the place, he and his
companion lived there until the follow
ing winter. AS soon as he felt salts
fed that the search was given over, he
sent the woman out for supplies and
built brush house over the opening
to conceal it from the negroes who
brought them game and provisions.
They must have remained in and
about the Laran cave very nearly three
months.
In that time Bench made a very
thorough investigation of it and pre-
pared maps and Typographical dia-
grams of the surrounding country.
Some of these drawings may now be
seen at the Government museum at
Rock Island, and, considering the rude
means at Bench's command, they are
singularly careful and accurate speci-
mems of cartography.
In those three months Bench had
conceived and worked out one of the
most astounding and gigantic schemes
with which the history of audacity and
indomitable will makes us acquainted.

soon be favorably reported from the

poets TO have action taken then. His

Of 500 and upward and the issuance

Dead on = Road
Minneapolis. Dec. 4.-Afiss Catherine
Giny, a well known dressmaker. WIS
murdered last night under sensational
and as yet mysterious circumstances
She was a young woman of -. who
had built up a good business and was
reputed to be worth $4,000. AT IL
o'clock last night her body was found
in the middle of country road lead
ing into the city. Ii was still warm.
but life was extinct. There was buf-
let hole directly through her head. her
nose was mashed and broken and there
was a long. Jagged cut in ker upper
lip.
The police believe they are close up-
on the assassin who committed the
murder. and they have developed the
following facts: Miss Giny had made
intimate acquaintance with certain
St. Paul man. whose name is known to
the police and who is Il gambler.
Her meetings with him We're claEdes-
tine and were concealed from her
friends Sometimes she went to st.
Paul and met him at some restaurant,
and at other times she hired a livery
rig In the evening. and. picking him
up somewhere. drove with him. On
these occasions she went out and re-
turned alone.
The man WIS accustomed to send
notes to her and the A. ID. I. boy who
carried most Of them, has been found.
He sent a note yesterday. which she
tore up on reading. In the evening
she hired a rig. as usual, and went out
alone. Two hours later the horse re-
turned TO the barn with the empty bug
gy. The cushions We're soaked with
blood and brains. The police believe
that she went out driving with the st.
Paul man and that they quarreled and
that he shot her.
1t is thought that the shot was not
instantly fatal and that he must have
beaten her face with the butt of tns
revolver. taken her out of the carriage
and left her body on the road. driving
back to town and abandoning the horse
and fled. The motive of the deed is
4 thought to have been robbery. as she is
Known to have had large sum in cash
Aor it may have been the result of Il
, loAar's quarrel.

Discussing Tarin nm.

Washington, Dec. 4.-The senate
committee on finance was in session
for an hour to-day. but did not agree
to any course Of action on any OF the
more important financial or tariff bills
before the Senate. The meeting was
largely informal and was devoted In
the main to an exchange Of views upon
the free raw material bills apd the
Presidents currency recommendaes-1s
Some of Senator PETERS financial Dilis
were taken up. and adverse, reports
unanimously agreed upon.
1t Is understood that there was q
very free discussion OF the sugar tarin
bill. The Democratic members ex-
pressed desire to take the bill up In
the Senate for consideration. but while
not making specific objection to the
sugar bill, the Republican members of
the committee intimated that the ma
jority of Republican members would
stand against any piecemeal amend
meuts to the tariff bill at present Ref
erence was also made to the free a1co-
hol bill, with a like result. 1t appears
that the meeting was more important
for what 1t failed to accomplish than
for what 1t did accomplish

Berca. Ky, Dec. 4.-LaSt night w.
D. Candee and Walter Lyman, white
students at the Berca college, when
about TO retire. We're called upon by
masked men. who overpowered them,
tied Lyman to Il tree. threatened him
with death If he made an outcry, and
then, taking Candee around near the
entrance TO the college. produced dy-
Mantle bomb and ordered Candee to
light 1t and throw it inro the entrance.
He refused, whereupon they tied his
hands and threw him on a pile of
wood. They then lighted the fuse in
his presence, threw the bomb into the
entrance and ran. Candee, by super
human effort freed his hands. rushed
TO the bomb. seized it, and thrust t
into a barrel of water. Calling the
janitor, he released Lyman and exum-
ined the premises. Another bomb was
found near the wood-pile. The mis-
creants were traced short distance
to-day. but were NOT found. There has
been some feeling because Berea col
lege has admitted both black and white
students, but the general feeling is that
this attempt to blow up the building js
purely malicious.
