Interesting Account of a Roma mite Trip
in Diligence.
Charles II. Adams describes "A Jaunt
into Corsica" in the September Century,
and says of diligence ride:
How can | describe that never-to-
be-forgotten romantic ride across the
mountains of Corsica? The conductor
blew his horn, the driver thrashed his
horses with his merciless, long-lashed
whip, and the boy driving the lead
horse pounded his weak-looking steed,
and our heavy-laden diligence moved
off leaving the gaping crowd looking
after us. As the roads in Corsica are in
the same perfect condition that Eu-
ropean roads generally are, we moved
mp the mountain at good pace.
The mountains of the island are
very steep, so that our rise was rapid,
and We were not long in reaching
great height. from which magnificent

One Of EngIand's Oldest Trees.

One of the oldest trees standing in
England is the "TOrtworth" chestnut,
which, as far back as the reign OF
Stephen, in ll35, was soremarkable for
its size and antiquity that it was reeog-
nized as the terminal boundary of Ne
manor of TortwOrth in Gloucestershfre.
The wondrously old tree was cited hy
DIR. Ducard in his controversy with
DANES Darlington as a convincing
proof of the chestnut being indigenous
to Great Britain. 1t is supposed %

Recent Interesting Discoveries Regarding
the Crystals of Corundum.

Recent interesting DiScONeTles
the Crystals of Corundum.
The chief scientific interest of the
ruby corundum flows from the eX-
traordinary peculiarities of structure
that it presents, as well as from the
mysterious qualities that determine its
striking color, says the Jewellers Cir

variety of shapes. but all having a

corundum with polarized light its
structure is found to be wonderfully
complex, and under the microscope
its exterior face is covered with
a strange network of sculpture,

probably the most interesting thing
about the corundum crystal is the fact
that IL is nearly always found to have

SACRED RIGHTS OF PROPERTY
An English Curate's Suit for Trespsss in
His" Churchyard.

His" Churchysrd.
A curious fact has been brought to
public notice in England by the con-
duet of Rev. John Nallancy, perpetual
curate of Rosliston, who in the Burton
county court prosecuted the daughter
of one of his parishioners for trespass-
ing in his" churchyard and damaging
"his" hay, by visiting her sisters grave
and placing flowers thereon. For this
outrage on the sacred rights of proper
ty he claimed damages to the amount
of one shilling and sixpence. He con-
tended, says the Network Evening Post,
that the churchyard was his private
property and that no one had q right
TO go into it without his permission.
He cut the hay and stacked Il in his yard.

The First Came Coz France.

Foot ball has suddenly become ex-
ceedingly popular in France, and there
is no undue anxiety shown with regard
to the rough ways which are somewhat
necessary. There are many capital
clubs, and a game always draws a very
large number of spectators, who take
a deep interest in the progress of the
doings. On Monday last there was an
international game played at Becon les
Bruyeres between the English ROsslyn
park club and the Stade Francois. The
play was all through very spirited on
both sides. but the issue, certainly due
to the great smartness of the French,
was in their favor. the score of the Stade
Francois being three tries mine points,
to three tries eight points,. This is the
first game of foot ball won by French
team. and the victory was welcomed by
great and prolonged cheering, in which
English and French voices equally
ioined.-London Court Journal.

"BEST"ClTIZENS TOOK PART
LYNCHING OF GEORGE ROSE BY A
KANSAS MOB.
He Had Murdered Assistant Postmast-
er KuhI of Cottonwood FnIIs-The
Victim of the Mob Strug Up to a
BridEe-The Proceedings.

STRONG CITY, Kan, May 13.-The
great excitement which prevailed all of
Friday night, and which nearly culmi-
mated in the lynching of George Rose,
the murderer Of Assistant Postmaster
Karl Kuhl of Cottonwood Falls. but
which was finally subdued by the cooler
judgment Of the best citizens of the vi
cinity. broke out afresh last night, and
about II o'clock a mob of fifty masked
men marched to the Jail and called
Sheriff Murdoch to the door. As soon
as the sheriff opened the door he was
overpowered by the masked men, who
placed pistols to his head, and conduct
ing him to the door of the cell occupied
by Rose, he was commanded to unlock it,
The sheriff entreated his captors 20 de-
sist. but to no purpose, and he was
finally compelled to unlock the door, I'M
der threats that the mob would have the
man they sought even if they had to pull
the Jail down. Every approach to the
Jail and court house were carefully
guarded by armed members of the mob.
Everything was done in quiet, order
~ manner, and every man seeming to
know what he was to do. After secur-
ing the prisoner the mob marched east
20 a railroad bridge. In the meantime
word had reached tine citizens of the
town generally and "a crowd of fully l.
900 people gathered at the bridge to see
the lynching of the murderer. A rope
was placed about the victims neck, and
as this was being done one Of the mob
said to Rose: LET me take off your
glasses" referring to the spectacles
worn by the doomed man.
YES" said Rose, Il shall never need
them again.
He was then asked if he had anything
to say, TO which he replied:
Gentlemen suppose there is no use
to talk; you are out here to hang me. I
should have liked to have had a trial by
law
He was asked if that was all he had
to say, and he replied:
Eyes, except that l hope God will have
mercy on my SOUL
His hands and feet We're then tied and
he was given a shove off the bridge. fall
ing about ten feet. His neck was
broken and death was almost instanta-
neous. The lynchers then disappeared,
leaving his body dangling between the
bridge and the waters of Cottonwood
river, where it remained until o'clock
this morning. when the coroner held an
inquest. The verdict was: Death by
hanging by parties unknown
The general verdict here is that the
lynching was justifable, and 1t is under
stood that the men who did the work in
cluded some of the best citizens of Cot
tonwood Falls.

George B. Burns, assistant superin-
tendent Of the menagerie. told the story
briefly. "AI through the day we tried
to administer the poison. cyanide Of
potassium, by one means or another but
did not succeed. At last we decided on
bran, and using small capsules, Snyder
made up balls Of wet bran, in each one
of which was placed a capsule contain
ing about five or six grains. They We're
placed in the ordinary pail in which
food had been given him before. At 4:0712
o'clock he put his trunk in the pail, and,
taking UP a ball of the bran, blew it
down his throat. Several others fol-
lowed, and then he stopped. Something
seemed to affect him. He moved TO the
front of the cage and ribbed his side
against the bars. then he trumpeted
once or twice, and Al the end of four
minutes seemed to go into a CONFUSION,
and his body swelled, and his efforts to
strain and burst the chain were tremen-
dous. Finally the chain that went
around his body burst. Getting down on
the floor. he dragged himself toward the
door of the cage until, reaching
the limit Of the heavy chain which Sc
cured his foreleg to two of the front
bars, he stumbled and fell. He did not
go down with a crash, however, but
went over on his side, front first, stiff
fened out and died in just twelve min
utes from the time he took the first ball
of wet bran. We had at first decided to
use hydrocyanic acid, but finally de-
cided to use the cyanide of potassium,
not only because ii was tasteless and in
odorous, but chiefly for the reason that
it was not dangerous TO the operators
making the dissection. The use of the
hydrocyanic acid would make the whole
carcass a deadly poison. Besides, we
have now demonstrated that this is an
easy and humane way Of killing ele-
plants"

SHAFT FROM The PULPIT.
The Rev. Mr.. Matthews Responds TO
the Attacks of Breckinridge.

LEXINGTON. Ky, May 13.-The peo-
pie Of Lexington and vicinity are on the
tiptoe of excitement regarding the anti
Breckenridge meeting set for tomorrow
afternoon. The people are thoroughly
aroused and those in a position TO know
say the meeting will be a monster at
fair. In his sermon tonight the Rev.
R. 7. Matthews, pastor Of the Main-st.
Christian church and prominent men,
Der of the ministerial union that Col.
Breckenridge scored so terribly in his
speeches here and at Paris, referred 70
the colonel in non-complimentary terms.
Among other things ne said:
None Of US, ministers of the min
isterial union of Lexington, are presum-
ing to dictate who shall or shall not
be the nominee Of a political party. AS
teachers Of the gospel Of morality we
are simply testifying and warning the
people as regards what kind Of man
should or should not be a candidate or
nominee for public Office. We unitedly,
in the fear Of God, declare before the
world that when an immoral politician,
standing in the calcium light of Caesars
court. is exposed at length in a life of
sin, where domestic sancity and social
morality have been deliberately de-
bauched and stepping from the wit
ness box Immediately announce himself
still as worthy of representing the peo-
pie because he has suffered the pains of
hell and has confessed TO the court his
iniquity, we declare that while it is a
Christian duty TO forgive him and help
him to a better life, his denomination
and reelection at the present time Will
be an open defiance Of all personal
chastity, domestic purity and religious
integrity
This sermon made a profound impress
sion on the congregation, and it is all
the talk around the hotels tonight.

NOEL. Mo-, May 10-At 3 o'clock this
afternoon seven armed men with Win
chesters and revolvers rode into South
west City, No, and robbed the bank, get
ting all the money the bank contained,
between $1,000 and $4,000. They evidently
came from the territory and were ex-
perts They did the job in a very bust
ness-like manner. Two Of them were
stationed on the sidewalk, three entered
the bank with a sack and two others
guarded the horses.
About one hundred shots were fired by
the robbers and four prominent citizens
were badly wounded. J. C. seabourn and
o. L. Seabourn were both shot through
the groin, Mart Hembree had leg
broken by a bullet S. F. Mutton, United
States marshal. received a flesh wound
in the leg. The robbers were about ten
minutes in going through the
bank. Afterward they mounted
their horses and started for
the nation at a full gallop.
AS they were leaving the outskirts some
one fired several shots al them, killing a
horse and wounding a robber. He imme-
diately secured another horse from a
farmer who was passing and followed
his pals.
No resistance was offered by the citi-
zens. The wounded men were shot
while standing on the sidewalk. A posse
was made up and have started in pur-
suit. but the robbers have a good lead
and will probably get awaY.

how Richmond girl was outwitted at
her own game:
"a Richmond girl received three pro.
posals OF marriage recently, and she
made arrangements to have the three
young men call on the same night so
that she could compare them collectiv g.
ly and give her decision as to which of
the trio she preferred. The boys caught
on to the racket, and putting their heads
together, evolved little scheme. They
dressed three darky boys in livery, put
a photograph of each of the aforesaid
trio on waiter, and sent them around
on the evening selected by the young
lady to make martyrs OF themselves. No
decision has yet been rendered-~at least
none of the young men have received
notification to that efect-and the boys
are still wondering whom is the favored
one"
