A disguised newspaper maj gives
the following philosophical reasons
for retiring from the business: "a
child is born. The doctor in at
tendance gets $40; the editor notes
it and gets 0. It is christened
The minister gets 81; the editor
writes it up and gets 90. 1t marries.
The minister get another fee; the
editor gets a piece of cake or 900.
In course of time it dies. The doc.
tor gets from SIS 10 $40; the minis
ter gets another 81; the undertaken
S25 or $40; the editor prints it and
get O0OO-and then the privilege
of running free of charge a card of
thank" And furthermore we would
add, the general public stands back
and if by the multiplicity of chances
there are for making some slight
error OF omission or commission in
all this gratuous work then the sharp
tongue Of criticism begins to wag
and the man or woman who knows
about running a newspaper
illustrates just how little he or she
about running a newspaper.

On His Way to Washiprtop

Cleveland, dropped anchor this morn
ing at the New York Yacht Cube
anchorage ground at the foot of East
Twenty-siXth street. Mr.. Cleveland
got in a small boat and vas rowed to

boat as 1t was rowed over. At the
pier a cab was in waiting, into which
Mr.. Cleveland jumped alone and was
driven rapidly away. 1t could not be
learned where he went. Later the
cab carrying Mr.. Cleveland returned.
The president was Immediately taken
aboard the yacht and she steamed to
the south. Inquiry at the principal
hotels elected no information As to
where Mr.. Cleveland went during his
short stay in the city. The president
had a healthy bronze color in his face
and looked particularly well.

Alexandria, Mimi, Oct. Edwin
Il. Evans, aged 20, to-day shot his di-
vorced wife, aged 10, three times in
the head, then shot himself twice Ia
h heart n lungs with a revolver.
He is dead and the woman will die.
This is the sequel To an unhappy
marriage of two years standing. The
young man was the son of Lewis
Evans, an insurance and collection
agent, now deputy cororer and notary
public, and an old resident. He was
the Republican candidate for Judge of
the probate court at the last election.
He first met the Oma at Cakes. n.
d., in 1892, and they We're married
there In March, 1885, contrary to the
wishes of her mother, who was a
school teacher and anne 10 Alexandria
last year. The marriage vas not 4
happy one. They had two children,
one of whom, the baby, died a few
weeks ago. During her last confine-
ment his abuse and neglect became too
much for her, and she left him. He
then commenced habeas corpus pro-
ceedings TO secure the oldest child.
The testimony in this case was such
as TO cause Judge Searle to remark
that half the evidence was sufficient to
cause him to leave the child with its
mother, and this was really the foun-
dalton for a subsequent suit for dt~
yorce. which was granted to her by
Judge Searle only two days ago.
Young Evans had repeatedly threat
ened her life, and was yesterday heard
TO say that she had got her divorce.
but would not live to enjoy her free
dom. To-day he followed her several
blocks toward home, then turned into
a parallel street and intercepted her
IN a cross street in q residence portion
Of the city. Going up 10 her he at
tempted to take hold of her, but was
prevented by her companion, Mrs.
Martha Cantreel. He then drew his
revolver, and, running around Mrs.
Cantreel, fired as his wife turned her
face sideways toward him. the bali
striking her in the lower lip on the left
side of the mouth, tearing out all the
teeth in the left side Of the lower Jaw.
She fell, but Immediately started to
rise, and while she was in a rising
posture he fired aga. the bail striking
squareiy in the center of the top OF
her head. She fell unconscious, ard
he turned away, but came back imme-
diately and fired a third shot as she
lay PROSTATE and while Mrs. Cantreel
was In the act or raising her up, the
ball striking below the point of the
iawbone on the left side. She re-
gained consciousness when removed to
the Office of DR.. McEwan. but cannot
live.
After shooting her the third time
Evans turned. and. while walking
away, fired two shots toward his ear
and fell on his face dead.
The oma was pretty and graceful,
of a trusting, timid disposition. and
really believed at one time that her
husband was a model young man. He
had been drinking heavily all day.
His father, mother and two brothers
live here and a brother lives at Cakes.

the future King Of England, who has
had some elaborate designs tatoced on
his arm, is said to have set the Eng
fish ~aristocracy wild, and tattooing has
become the rage. On the other hand
there are many people who have sub
mitted themselves to this needle and
Ink decoration, who have outiiyed their
pride in 1t, and who feel rather asham-
ed OF what they formerly looked upon
rs a distinction. For the benefit OF
such a medical correspondent tells how
tattoo marks may be removed. The
marks are painted owe with a cOncen-
trated solution Of tannln. After
wards, by "a of fine needles a
series of pickings is made over the
tattooed design. and over the surface
h II picked is passed a stick Of nitrate
or silver. AT the end Of a few minutes
the black ickings previously made be-
comes detached n the superficial
layers OF skin are charged with a tan
nate Of silver. In order that the pro-
cess may be perfectly successful this
surface must be powdered with tan
min III W or three days. At the end
OF that time, the infiammatory action
has almost subsidized. ar;a the picked
parts turn black, forming a thin crust,
very adherent to the deeper skin, but
painless. In fourteen or fifteen days
the scab falls off. and In its place In
seen a superficial red mark, which
gradually fades away until, at the end
Of a few months, all signs Of coloration
disappear. OF course, antiseptic pre-
cautions are dul taken In performing
this operation. The old tattoo needle
il the best thing 1t can be dane with.
DR.. Ballot suggests that bioxaiate OF
potassium is even better for the pur-
pose Of tattoo marks removal than nj.
trate of silver.

RESULT OF DISAGREEMENT.
A Great Logging Firm on the Cons
Goes Into n Receivers Hands.

Seattle, Oct. 12.-Mosher & McDon-
aid, Il of the largest logging firms In
the state, whose property is worth
100000, have gone into the hands OF
a receiver as a result OF a disagree
ment between the partners about pro-
viding for the payment OF $4,000
debts ont of a total OF S2J0,00O. w. A.
Mcdonald, who had the receiver ap-
pointed, claims that Alfred Mosher, a
Michigan iumberman, was to advance
the money as IL became necessary, and
did advance 100000, when he stopped
and demanded that his claims he made
preferred. Mcdonald wanted all the
creditors to be treated alike, and s. j.
Flynn, manager Of the company, was
appointed receiver. This ease led to
the appointment of a. +. McEwan as
receiver of the Seattle Cedar Lumber
company, whose capital Is $500 600:
debts unknown. The assets OF the
property are In excess of liabilities.
