TRIED TO KILL VICTORIA.
Six Attempts Have Been Made on the
Queens Life.

Six Attempts Have Been Made on the
Queens Life.
Since her majesty came to the throne
she has been the subject Of six attacks,
but only three of them can be described
as attempts on her life. The first attack
on the queen occurred on Constitution
Hill, on June 10, 1910, soon after her
marriage, the assailant being a pot boy
named Edward Oxfc"d. Two years
later, on May 80, 1912, JOHN Francis fred
at the queen when within a few feet Of
her carriage. This outrage also took
place on Constitution Hill. In July Of
the same year a crack-brained lad
named Bean 1eveled loaded pistol at
her majesty, who was driving from
Buckingham castle to the Chapel Royal,
st. James, but the weapon missed fire
In May, 1850, Robert Pate, an ex-lieu-
tenant in the hussars, as the royal car
riage was emerging from the duke Of
Cambridge's gate, struck the queen
with a stick, Qeaving a mark on her
cheek and crushing her bonnet. In
February, 1872, youth named Arthur
O'Connor presented an old and I'M
loaded pistol at her majesty as she was
entering Buckingham palace, and on
March 2, 1882, a man named Roderick
Maclean deliberately fired at the queen
as she was driving from Windsor sta
ton to the castle, but no damage was

Antiquitie hath held that certaine wo-

vexed against some men, had the power
to kill them only with their locke. The
Tortoises and Estriges hatch their eggs
with their looks only, a signe that they
have some ejaculative vertue. And
concerning witches, they are said to
have offensive and harme working Eies.

A Human Devil.
T Atlanta Constitution.

The insurance swindler, H. H.
Holmes, now in Jail in Philadelphia,
is undoubtedly the greatest criminal
of the age, if the half that is told of
him is true.
This man has operated in Michigan,
Texas, Colorado, New York, Illinois
and the east, and his victims are
legion. Swindling is his smallest Of
tense. 1t was bad enough for him to
dupe conhding women and rob them of
fortunes ranging from $500 up to
sIoo, 1000, but this was a trifle when
we consider his wholesale murders.
After swindling big corporations, cap
ltallsts and insurance companies, and
marrying halfdozen women, he fitted
up a house devoted to murder in
Chicago where he slaughtered women
and children and then collected the
insurance on their lives. In one in
stance he killed or caused to be killed
three children who were heirs to an
insurance policy il which he had an
interest.
Shrewd business men were easily
gulled by this prince of scoundrels,
and nearly every woman he met seems
to have fallen in love with him. All
that he had to do when he was short
of funds was to get introduced to
some rich woman. Then he worked
his scheme and walked off with her
fortune, leaving her alive or dead,
just as his interests required. In
nearly a dozen states his career has
been marked by ruined homes and
the graves of murdered women and
children.
He has lived luxuriously for years
and there is nothing in his manner,
even now, to indicate distress of
remorse. This phenomenal william
would doubtless have gone on for
years to come if he had not been dis
covered, enjoying life on the proceeds
of his crimes, and not pang would
have moved his heart and not a line
OF care or anxiety would have marked
his face.
\ man SO absolutely devoid of feel
ing IS a monster or a human devil,
and the law should make short work
OF him. 1t is impossible to read the
story of his crimes and then doubt the
necessity for capital punishment. The
sooner he goes to the gallows the
better.

THE PRESS CONVENTION,

Brother X. Il. CreeCy, of the Eliza
beth City EtOuOmist FaIc0H, drops
into reminiscent mood and gets off
this about press convention long
time ago.
The convention of the North Caro-
lima Press met IN Greensboro last week
and had most enjoyable time, said to
be the most enjoyable that has ever
been held during the existence of the
Association. In parenthesis we
must be allowed to say that is error
The year of the meeting at Goldsboro
in 1879, we think it was, when the
Convention after its adjournment at
Goldsboro, accepted an invitation to
Glen Alpine Springs, was the most
delightful of all in the history of the
Press Convention. That, including
the delay at Turkey Tail station was
the climax of earthly happiness. Per
haps the present members of the gang
were then babies in arms, but tina,
X
at Beaufort was sorrow that changed
the purpose OF the Conventions, but
disastrous as 1t was, it was a breeder
of JOY out Of sorrow. Out of it came
the happiness of Glen Alpine and out
of the accident and delay at Turkey
Tail came the JOY of that glorious and
never-to be forgotten night. Nc
Diarmid, who yet lives, thank the good
Lord, was in full feather, and the
silver rattle othis laugh echoed through
the darkness as bugle call to mirth.
Harrell, who was emphatically duly,
was provoked to wit by the magnetic
ripple of Mes unrivalled laughter,
whose reserve fund furnished a supply
of laughter for his own and others wit
and humor. We had thought we were
lucky man when We found a soft
cushion in an open head barrel of
wheat, which was pleasant enough, but
as we slept and snored we sank down
IN the yielding wheat until our nose
and our toes were brought in contact,
and then we entered on a stentorian
burst of nasal and laryngean melody
that endangered the rafters and shingles
on the roof and completely threw Mes
side show in the shade and made
pretty Miss Mock, of Salisbury, to
whom we had offered our hand and
heart five several times at Glen Alpine,
faint from pure exhaustion from laugh
ter. We would have died an inglorious
death in that wheat barrel s'drown-
died. as it were, in a barrel of cereal,
had not old Nc, kind, dear old soul,
stopped laughing long enough to dig
US out of that barrel of wheat which
our perspiration was rapidly convert
ing into starch, by pulling and haul
ing us out by our nose and toes, laugh
ing all the while as he, strange to say,
had never laughed before. God bless
old laughing Mac. We hear he has
grown rich on the husks of the Role
sonian. Well, we have often said
Scotchman could grow rich on less
food than any other human who could
eat dirt and so naked.
Well, we rejoice at the success of
this Press Convention, and regret
that we can be with them, only in the
spirit.

enter as soon as it rises, warming the
interior at a time when the fowls desire
warmth the most, which is when they
first come off the roost in the morning.
In the winter the sun is in the south a
greater portion of the day, and hence,
if the house faces southeast, the fowls
not only receive warmth early, but the
house till about three O'Clock in the
afternoon.

Suitable Locations.

New locations should be selected
with the view to securing as much
shelter from winds as possible, and also
to avoid dampness. Land that has
been occupied for several seasons by
the flocks should be abandoned for one
or two years, if it can be done with but
little expense, and crops grown on the
soil. 1t is we'll known that gapes
seldom occur on new land, but that it
is very destructive to chicks on land
that has been used as runs by poultry
for number Of years. 1t would be

tions and apply air-slaked lime liber.
