How One Should Walk.

1t is said, and perhaps with truth,
that very few American women know
how to walk. They roll. or sway, or
mince, or clump along, utterly igno-
rant of how to use their feet.
Occasionally we see one who "walks a
Queen" easy and graceful in all her
movements, her feet resting on the
floor or pavement, with just the right
coquettish pressure. Such woman
can walk miles without fati rue. 1t lie
the right use of muncles that makes
long lse possible.
To walk properly, an erect posture
is the first necessity; then as the heel
of one foot touches the pavement with
an elastic pressure, the bail of the
other foot should be giving a swinging
push to the body. alternately swift
and elastic motion marks the good
pedestrian. Unwieldly, uncertain
footsteps, pounding, Earring or plod-
ding, belongs to the woman who tires
after walking half dozen blocks.
Now and then one meets an indi-
vidual who will attonish you by tales
of the length of time pair of shoes
will last her-shoes, too, that are called
upon to do service and walk miles
daily. You will always find that she
knows how to walk, for bad locomotion
is as hard upon the shoes as it is upon
the wearer.-The American Woman.

THREE MEN LYNCHED.

they were accused OF killing FRI |
Denning in July last.
They were taken short distance
from the depot in this place aud hang
ed from railroad bridge.
The mob made its attack on the Jail
about midnight. The attack was en-
tirely unexpected. The men who
composed the mob were all mounted,
and came in from the north. They
broke their way into the jail with
sledge hammers
Burton said he could tell lots about
his connections with stealing cattle,
selling whisky and other things, but
which asked to tell about the DINING
murder, replied mo, sir" Young
Gay made a prayer and said Burton
had killed Dining with an ak. Old
man Gay stated eve were led into
this"
The leader then clapped his hands
three times, and quick as a flash all
three were pushed off the bridge. The
Gays evidently died from strugulation
but the moose on Burtons neck slipped
around up over his chin and he was
heard to breathe heavily for the mo-
ment, when several shots were fired
into his body. Each of the others also
had bullet sent into him.
The mob left as quietly as it came,
going north.

TRAILS OF BLOOD.
st. LoUts Police Wrestling With An.
other Mystery.

ST LOUIS, Jan. l4-Another mys-
terry has given the police a great deal
of work. This morning an officer
found a trail oil clothed blood on Nor.
gon street, near Taylor avenue. He
followed it and found a bloody hat
with hole in it. Near by, wagon
tracks Indicated that the murdered
man had been carted away.
A little before the discovery was
made, the night Waterman at James
Hardy's livery stable, on Delma ave-
nue. west Of Taylor avenue, heard a
cry from the lot where the hat was
discovered, ooh, don't murder me-"
He could not leave-his post, however,
to investigate.
This morning contractor named
Christie Smith identified the hat as
that of his brother Michael, who won
$4,000 in the lottery two weeks ago

No one else in the neighborhood

The only evidence OF murder is the

several tragedies. A trail at least q
foot wide stretches across the pave

THE RECIPROCITY HUMBUG.
American Merchants Selling British
Goods in Cuba and Porto Rico.

WASHINGTON, January 1.-THE
Spanish Minister to the United States
has complained to the Secretary of
State that the provisions of the reci-
procity arrangements between the
United States and Cuba and Porto
Rico are being wrongfully used by
merchants OF the United States. He
alleges that sewing machines of Brit
ish manufacture, disguised as Ameri-
can sewing machines, are being ex.
tensiyely imported to Cuba and Porto
Rico duty free from New York. In
vestigations so far made show that
there is some foundation for the
charges made.

A RObber BarOn's FOresighs.

Andrew Carnegie's declaration that
it would be. "better to obtain moder-
ate Democratic tariff bill, securing us
stability and permanence, satisfactory
to all, rather than high protec tive
bill passed by the Republican party,
and certain to be the object of cOntin-
ual political attack" has excited great
Indignation in the mind of the New
York Teibane, to which this v-ry
sound advice was addressed. The Fri
bune has nothing to oppose 10 it but
abuse, of a kind that sounds little
strange from such a source.
1t denounces Mr.. Carnegie as
"robber tariff baron," declaring that
he has accumulated such a large
amount of surplus savings under the
protection he now enjoys that be can
afford to start up his mills at reduced
scale of wages and 60 away to Egypt,
leaving other manufacturers less
strongly entrenched or with less &C.
cumulations, to fight their battle
alone,
There is great deal OF truth in all
this, of course-much more than the
monopoly organs are accustomed to
utter-but we can not see that it di.
minishes the force of Mr.. Carnegie's
argument. The system which has en-.
abled him to accumulate his great sur
plus, without allowing his workmen
any share in it, is one which this coun.
try can not be expected to submit to
indefinitely. 1t must be either modi-
fed or destroyed. If it shall not be
modified now, the agitation will con-
tinue until it Is wholly destroyed.
Nothing can be more certain than
this, and Mr.. Carnegie has the coed
sense to recognize the truth. The or
gans that think it good politics to fight
any notifications of the Mckinley
tariff are simply planning to continve
the agitation indefinitely, to the con
tinued disturbance of the business OIL
the country.-Philadelphia Times.

efforts of the sergeants de vile
could do nothing beyond saving
the man from instant death. Blows
were aimed at his face and head
over the shoulders of the police
who had by this time arrived and
many of the blows landed. fairly.
At last the police succeeded in
driving the bowling mob back a
foot or so from their prisoner but
to break through it was a physical
impossibility.
GUARDING THE ASSASSIN.
In the meantime the news Of
the attempted murder spread with
lightning-like rapidity and
mounted guards were sent to the
aid of the police who were still
struggling to preserve the life of
the assassin. With drawn sabres
in their hand the guards rode down
into the swirllng crowd which
slowly gave way before the horses
and at last the centre of the mob
was reached. Then q Gordon was
formed around the ten almost ex-
hausted policemen and the captive
was marched to the station. Even
thus guarded the prisoner was not
safe as men in the crowd made
frantic endeavors to reach him.
The guards repelled the attacks
with the flat sides of their swords
while at the same time keeping
watchful eyes upon the crowd to
prevent the prisoner from being
shot. Maledictions wert poured
upon the captive and never before
has such Wild Indignation against
a human being been in this city.
