A Jealous Kentucky Shoemaker Uses Both
with Fatal Effect.
LOUISVILLE, June 18.-Arthur Gour-
din, a shoemaker living at Remington,
a suburb of Peewee Valley, IS miles
from this city, III the Louisville and
Nashville road, shot and probably
fatally wounded Thomas Murphy and
then stabbed his wife to death. Gour-
din suspected Murphy of being init
nate with his wife and had evidently
been waiting for an opportunity to pre-
sent itself so he could get even with
him. This opportunity came when
Murphy was passing by Gourdin's
house on horseback. Gourdin was sit
ting on his porch, and when Murphy
came up he drew a revolver and COM
menced firing, wounding Murphy in
several places and killing his horse I'M
der him. Mrs. Gourdin rushed out of
the house and her husband told her to
go away, but she refused to do so and
he then hit her several times with the
butt Of his revolver, driving her back
into the house, where he seized a knife
lying IN a table and stabbed her II
times, killing her instantly. The dead
woman leaves four children ranging
from l year to -. Courdin was ar.
rested and placed in jail at La Grange.
Murphy's condition is very critical and
he will probably die.

Got Their Moneys Worth.


1t takes a Chinalnan to get the full val
ue of his money.
The other morning, about 1880 o'clock,
two of the Clark street colony went over to
a State street theater, which opens it's
doors about noon and gives a continuous
performance until IL o'clock at night.
They bought two tickets for seats in the
back Of the balcony, and as soon as the
doors opened they crowded in and were
shown to their places.
They didn't say much, but their eyes
were fixed on the stage, and their hands
were buried in their sleeves. At 1 o'clock
they were seen to smile family when two
fluffy skirted dancers spun upon the stage.
At 5 O'Clock they were seen to smile the
second tine-the dancers had come back.
Some amusement was caused in the audi
ence by their presence, because it is not
usual to SEQ Cinnamon in the theater.
When the players were their funniest, the
Cinnamon were their soberest. At 10
O'Clock they were seen to smile a third time.
1t was the third turn of the dancers with
the fluffy skirts. At II o'clock the China
men left the theater reluctantly, having
been there 10 hours for Is cents each

sARLY PERFUMES.
The Crusad srs Brought Them to Western
Europe From the Holy Land.

Europe From the Holy Land.
During tile dark ages and in early me-
disoval times perfumes, with the exception
of incense for ecclesiastical use, were al
most unknown, and the rude Saxon thames
and Norman barons and their spouses were
quite content with tho smell of wood fires
and huge masses of roast or seethed meat
and were not at all solicitous to enjoy the
pleasure of sweet odors. 1t seems to have
been the crusaders who brought from the
Holy Land into western Europe the per-
fumes for which the east has from time
immemorial been renowned. The original
home Of perfumes was either China or
Egypt. In the last named country the
priests Of the temple of Heliopolis used to
offer every day to their divinity three
kinds Of perfumes, one in the morning,
one at noon and the third ut night, the
last being a scent composed of 16 ingredi-
ents, forming an ensemble called kaphi.
The universally Of perfumes in ancient
Greece is known to every one who remem-
bers the delightful descriptions Of the per-
fumed baths Of Roman ladies in Bulwer's
"Last Days Of Pompeii, " and from Hellas
the use Of perfumery spread to Rome,
where, under the empire, almost every OBJ
ject was scented.
Even the standards Of tho legions were
perfulned, and the ~velarium of the Coli
scum, when the emperor was present, was
busted with aromatic powders. The sue
cessive %invasions Of the barbarians led to
the shutting up Of the %perfumers' shops
with which the Eternal City had aboundcd,
and until the time of the renaissance per-
fu1nery in Italy was only vended by a few
a~pothecaries. Its use, however, had not
died out in Constantinople, and at the fall
Of the Greek empire the Byzantine Greeks
found that their Turkish c%onquerors were
as passionately fond Of perfumery as they
themselves were.
Sweet essences for secular use were first
made an article Of trade in France by one
Rene, or Rinaldo, a Florentine who came
to Paris in the suit of Catherine de- Med

Indian Children.

Harriet Maxwell Converse, who is an
authority IN Indian life and history and
is an honorary chief herself, tells me chat
the Indians never punish their children
nor beat their horses. "When the child has
disobeyed, he is allowed to think it over
and reason the thing out for himself, as
the Indians believe that an error in judg-
ment is as likely to spring from a child as
a grown person, and that the intentions
are not necessarily bad, = said Mrs. Con-

is worthy Of emulation among the whites,

THE PRESIDENT DISAPPEARS
Widows and Orphans in the
East Heaviest Losers by
the Failure.

DENVER, June 19.-Henry J.. Aldrioh,
president and general manager of the
Colorado Securities company, has dis.
appeared and the creditors Of the con-
Germ are making strenuous efforts to
ascertain his whereabouts. Inquiries
for the missing man have brought to
light one of the greatest sensations
known in Colorado. Five weeks ago
Mr.. Aldrich left Denver without Civ
ing notice Of his proposed departure
and is now thought that he has gone to
Australia or the Sandwich islands.
The hasty exit Of Aldrich is due to
the fact that a warrant for his arrest,
based on the Indictment Of the grand
Jury, was about to be served. The
charge is misrepresentation Of funds in
trusted to his care. Nh. Aldrich also
acted as treasurer of st. Johns cathe-
dral for 10 years and was recognized in
Denver as a man of most sterling
worth and
Deep Religious Character.
From 300 to 400 ranch titles are
clouded by the acts Of Aldrich, who
diverted funds remitted by Eastern in
vestors to make good the shortage in
maturing obligations occasioned by the
depreciation in real estate. He guar
anteed principal and interest on loans,
and then began the downward course
which eliminated in the appointment

came to the surface with the work Of

Of interest. One of the most distressing
cases is that Of a widow at Blooming

The debts will aggregate from $400, DOC

1t is said that the failure of the

socIABLE PACIFIC WHALES.
Like to Make Friends With vessels-One
Caught on a Fishing Line.

The coast Of southern California is pa
trolled, especially in summer, by several
varieties of whales, which add to the pleas
ure of sightseers along shore. Among
these harmless monsters the California
gray whale is conspicuous. 1t attains a
length Of from 40 to so feet. In the Santa
Catalina channel these huge animals are
almost always to be seen, their big heads
rising from the water or their black tails
being tossed aloft in the games and gam
bols in which they indulge. One of their
curious caprices exhibited on rare occasions
Is to follow vessels. A ship bound from
San Francisco to a South American port
was followed three weeks by a whale that
played about it, attempting no injury, but
swimming alongside and receiving many
bullets in it's blubber without resenting
them. When the ship was drydooked, the
copper was found strangely discolored by
the breath of this curious companion.
Last season a yacht belonging to the
Santa Catalina Yacht club had q novel ex-
perience. Upon reaching the lee of the is
land the wind died away, and for several
hours the yacht drifted with the current.
The party on board were fishing, when
suddenly a tug came at the line towing
astern, and a whale at least SO feet in
AougUu TOSo OuJ OF the water ana dlVcQ,
nearly taking the fisherman overheard.
The powerful jerk q Ike the heavy line,
but not before 20 or - feet had been paid
out-enough for the yachtsman to claim
that for one short dclirious moment he had
played q whale on a flshline. The whale,
which was atCalifornia gray, had undoubt-
odly como VI beneath the line, the hook
catching in its fin in some way. When the
excitement had subsidized to some extent,
another whale appeared off the bow, and
then another, and in a few moments five
of these giants were swimming about tho
yacht. They were SO near that they could
have been touched with an oar, and several
times one or more gently rubbed their
backs against the keel, slightly lifting the
yacht, as big and heavy as she was-a 70
ton schooner.
For several hours these huge creatures
played about the vessel, keeping SO near
that their blowing covered the decks with
spray, and it must be confessed that some
of the crew were not a little d~emoralized.
One of the party told the writer that the
skipper wa the whitest man he had ever
seen. The whales doubtless thought that
the yacht was a new kind of whale and
were trying literally to scrape %acquaint-

Camphor.

The camphor of is the product
of several varieties of trees which grow
wild in India, Ceylon and other parts of
tropical Asia. The trees are evergreen,
somewhat resembling the German linden,
and all parts of the plant, even the leaves,
possess and emit the odor of the gum.

ManurinE Virgin Soil.

An experiment station has been es-
tabished in Oklahoma, and it's first
recorded experiment shows the ad-
vantage Of manure for wheat on the
soil of that heretofore uncultivated
land. Without manure the soil yielded
thirteen bushels per acre. With COM
mercial fertilizers the yield was in
creased to thirty-two bushels per acre
This indicates that Oklahoma soil lacks
phosphate, and, possibly, also potash.
We suspect that the lack Of phosphate
Is more often the cause Of wheat fail
ure in the Northwest than is generally
supposed. The hot, dry winds do not
quickly sap the vitality Of grain that
has been ferilized with mineral ma
nures. There is more substance in the
stalk, and even in times Of drought
this will fill out the grain We have
noticed in Eastern-grown grain fields
that the crops fertilized with mineral
manures stood the drought better than
those not MANFRED. Stable manure,
on the other hand, often dries In the
soil and makes the drought worse.

BRAVE TRAY.

f
He Not Only saved the Child, But Her
Doll Also.
Tray was one of those noble dogs
who live about the docks and save peo-
pie who fall into the water.
One day little beggar child was
sitting on the edge of a New York
quay. She was playing with her doll,
and singing to herself and having
nice time, so that she forgot how near
she was to the edge, and all at once
she lost her balance and fell into the
water.
The poor child screamed as she fell
in, and the people on the dock all
rushed to the edge and looked over,
but the water was very deep, ten or
twelve feet deep, and the current very
strong. While they were all calling
on each other for help, and none will
ing to be the one to come forward, a
dog ran up. He saw the child strug-
Cling in the water and he leaped over
at once. He dived down to the bot
tom, then he rose near her, and in
minute he had her tight and swan
with her to land.
The people took her from him, and
she stood on the pier dripping with
water. Then they turned to praise
him, but he was gone. He had jumped
over again.
They were surprised. They thought
another child must have fallen in with
out their seeing it, but they were quite
willing that Tray should have all the
responsibility of saving it. This time
Tray was long time under the water.
They began to wonder what had be-
come of him, but no one thought of
doing anything to help the brave dog.
They did not even throw a rope out
that he could have caught in his teeth,
although the current ran very strong
where he had gone down. However,
he did come up to the surface in time
and they saw that hethad something
in his mouth.
He came slowly to shore, for he was
very tired. He had been down to the
very bottom of the river and fished up
the doll which the little girl had in her
hand when she fell over and now he
came to her with it. It was just as
good in Tray to save the doll as to
save the child, but the people laughed
at him except the little girl. Tray
trotted off home. He did not know
what hero he was or how much bet
ter than the people who thought them
selves so much wiser than dog, and
yet would not run a risk of hurting
themselves to do what he had done
without thinking of himself at all.

COMPOSITION OF MORTAR.

Experiments by the Austrian socie-
ty OF Engineers.
The Australian Society Of Engineers
recently conducted experiments with
view to determining the composition of
mortar best adapted to work, and to
remain In permanent and effective con-
dtion. when mixed and laid during
freezing weather. The experiments
were made first with brick masonry,
two kinds Of stone being used for the
purpose; everything was dry and free
from snow and ice. and the mortar was
mixed as tiff as possible; the lines
and cements were all tested In the mu-
nuc1pal experimental station, accord
ing to the established and reliable sys-
tenn of tho society. The conclusions Of
the investigating committee, as briefly
summarized, are. that in brick masonry
laid in frosty weather mortars into any
part Of lime enters should not be used:
Roman cement mortars behave fairly
well under such conditions, and Port
land cement mortars give good results;
the use Of warm water showed some
what more satisfactory work, and salt
materially increased resistance to frost:
With rubber masonry, using either
sandstone or limestone, lime mortar
was entirely out Of place, and Roman,
cement gave unsatisfactory work I'M
less mixed with salt. Under all the
circumstances presented by these var
ious tests and the character Of the re-
suits obtained, the final recommen''"-
ton Of the committee is that, in la..
brick or rubble masonry in winter, to
use only Portland cement mortar
mixed with salt IL possible.
