A Peculiar Click.

Seeming trifes have hanged many . man. Clarke Miller of Dallas probably realizes this. Miller was recently sen fenced to the penitentiary for life for the assassination of Hagan Roberts, a wealthy farmer. Last March Roberts and his family were sitting by the fire side in his home, when they were star tied by demand to throw up their hands and by the appearance of two masked men, One of the assailants fired, striking Roberts, who died within few hours. As the man who fired the shot brought down his gun peculiar click was recognized by one of Roberts sons, who had used the same gun few days before.
 This click was due to the looseness of one barrel Clarke Miller and Howard Parton were arrested on the charge of murder. The gun with the peculiar click was found in Miller's possession. He had run to his homes and in order to avoid suspicion had himself rammed down two charges into the gun and bad gone out to join in the search for the murderers. When tue loads were with drawn, it was found that he had neg lected to put any powder ill the gan. Truth is stranger than detective storlss. Savannah Press.

PRINTERS INK.
Literary Advertising and the Faint of the
 Puffer.

If this is not the golden age of mod ern light literature-and clearly it is not--it is at least the golden age of lit erary advertising. What matters it that the literary giants of the century have passed away, leaving no competent suc- cessors, if the press can infiate the latter to dimensions foreign to their nature and capacities? Take for prominent example 'Trilby"-in it's best aspect feeble imitation of Thaokeray, even to the name of Little Billeo,' and for the rest q clever sketch of bohemian artist life, with perfectly absurd aud incredible plot. By what right has is found 6 larger sale than any other novel of the last quarter of century? Why should it distance the exquisite Lorna Doone' and the heartbreaking "Tess?" By no right, but simply by dint of printers ink. 50 of Mrs. Humphry Ward s unspeakably dreary tales. So of Robert Louis Stevenson s adventurous romances. The taint of the buffer is over them all. The public are told when the novelist sets at work, what he eats, drinks, wears, and where and how much he sleeps An interview is furnished to enable him to puff himself We are told where he has gone to get "local color. '' The kettle is kept stirring until the cover is taken off finally.
 An American lecture tour, or even tour without lectures, is valuable even more as an advertisement than for its immediate product. An authoress' di- vorce has been utilized as an adveStise- ment of her works The anonymous dodge is also highly esteemed, as wit ness sThe Breadwinners aad the eur rent life of Joan of Arc. When prize to the right guesser is added, this is very fetching. So is well advertised prize contest for best authorship--it carries the rejected as we'll as the &C., eepted Green Bag.

REED TO UPSET RULES.
Claims That the Speaker of the Next House Will Cast Precedent Aside.

Certain Republican leaders claim to have received inside information to the effect that when once in the speakers chair of the next congress MT. Reed will institute a general shaking up of the committees to such an extent as to destroy all rrecedents.
 According to tradition of the house of representatives, the member of longest continuous service on a committee be. comes its chairman when his party comes into power.
 There is a strong intimation that A. J. Hopkins of Aurora, Ills, is to get the chairmanship of the ways and means. The settlement of the question whether s. E. Payne of New York or Hopkins is to be the leader of the next house will depend upon the physical condition of Robert Hit of Mount Mor-- ris, Ills If he is strong enough to as. sume control of the foreign affairs com- mlttee, he will have it. With reference to the appropriations committee David Henderson of Dubuque, Ia., is the rank ing member of the committee so far as continuous service is concerned. Uncle Joseph Cannon, however, claims the place on the ground that his service, while unfortunately broken in on by the accident of failing of election one term, is much longer than Henderson's. It is improbable that Illinois will get more than one of the three important chair manships, but it is certain to have con- trol of one of them. All three of the men named for these important posts in the new Republican house-Hopkins, Cannon and Hitt-are also being can yassed as possible governors Of Illinois to succeed Altgeld
 Republican leaders seem to believe that q plan will be formulated to pre- sent the president with a double barrel ed bill involving an additional tax on beer and a tariff duty on some impor- tant article like wool now on the free list The treasury needs the revenue from beer, and the plan which seems to have been agreed upon is to force Mir. Cleveland to swallow a patch on the tariff bill at the same time he gets the desired increase in revenue. Chicago Tribune.

BATTLE ON A LEDGE.
I've Escapsd Prisoners Turn the Table or
 Their Captors.

Their CaptOrs.
 Four prisoners escaped from the Guntersville Ala jail last week and made direct for Sand mountain. Two of them-Bill Bell and John Stanford were murderers, one having killed . constable and the other farmer. Dep uty sheriffs started in pursuit, and yes- terday met two prospectors named Hawkins and Bozeman on the noun tain. The officers told them reward would be paid for the fugitives. Later in the day the prospeotors found Bell and Stanford asleep in gulch and ar- rested them. The prisoners were then marched ahead toward Carlyle, few miles away.
 As they were passing around rock on the narrow trail along the mountain Bell picked up a large stone and threw it at Hawkins. The stone struck him on the arm, and he had to drop his pis- tol to clutch the mountain side, or he would have fallen over a precipice. Bell sprang upon Hawkins and managed to get the pistol, which was resting on the ledge. He was now master of the situation, as Bozeman was not armed.
 The two conyicts marched the pros- pectors back to a level spot and took their money, watches and clothing. Hawkins and Bozeman did not got out of ths mountains until this morning. Bell and Stanford are probably safe now in the mountain fastnesses. Atlanta Special

 "I beg pardon, but--but would you mind telling me how much she weighs?"
 "She weighs about 150 pounds. '

X Romantic Adventure In a Mount Ta-
 coma Cave.
 Henry Carter, the famous Mount Tacoma guide. has fallen in love under romantic circumstances and will ba married by the Rev. William M. Jef, fries, the first preacher who delivered a sermon on the top of the mountains There is possibility that Carter will be married on top of the mountain, the place where he fell in love last Tuesday night, with the thermometer registering 90 degrees below zero. He is to marry Cora Beachman, a schoolteacher and the belle of Lake Park, suburb of Ta- coma.
 Miss Beachman, accompanied by Mr. and Mrs. F. M. aroe of Eatonville, set out Tuesday with Carter, the most trusted of all the mountain guides, to ascend Mount Tacoma. At Gibraltar rock, which corresponds to the ''Shoul- der' of the Matterhorn, 4.000 feet from the sunmk, Mrs. Groe became exhausted. Miss Beachman declared her intention to reach the summit at all hazards. Garter led the way, but soon lost his ice ax, and in scaling difficult passes they were compelled to rely solely on their alpenstocks. They did not reach the summit until p. m., too late to attempt the descent that night. They had left Paradise valley, below tho snow line, without wraps, and only lemon and one sandwich each in the way of provisions. Carter selected a sheltered ice cave formed by jets of steam from the crater, and there they passed 2 sleepless night, discussing all sorts of topics, and before they left the summit at a. m. Wednesday Miss Beachman had promised to marry the guide.
 The instant they left the steam of the ice cave their clothes were frozen stiff, and they suffered great hardships in de- scending. A rescue party organized dur ing the day came to their relief late in the afternoon, after they had been with out food over 24 hours. -St Louis Globe Democrat.

any case, the United States Govern
ment would have no authority to send

seeking to raise the sum of $40. 900
for Greenland scientific expedition,

course, those individuals or societies
that desire to enjoy the privilege of q

get their moneys worth in return !;

expecting this relief expedition, there
Is no earthly reason for sending ono
upon the expensive journey TO tho

was Peary's associate in the first Arc

turn to civilization without risk or
