FRIDAY EVENING, SEPT. s, 1895.

He DIED FOR LovE.-"I die for
love-" said William Rochester, twenty
eight years old, as he placed thirty.
eight caliber pistol to his breast at
Knoxville. Tenn, Wednesday night
and sent two bullets through his heart.
And with these wordson his lips he fell
to the sidewalk dead. Rochester was
married, and had two children, but for
some time had been separated from his
wife. During this tims he had lived
with his brother-in-law, William HUT
chins, on Depot street. Hutchins had
been married three times, and by bis
first wife has q beautiful daughter
named Mary. Rochester became en-
amored ofthe young woman He csffed
on her Wednesday evening, and to-
cether the two went out for walk.
Shortly after their departure, Ed
Chenoworth, another admirer of the
Young woman, called at the Hutchins
home. He was informed that she was
out walking with Rochester, and be
went out to look for them. He found
the couple on the street, and accom-
panied them home.
When they arrived there Chenoworth
asked the young woman's father whose
attentions he preferred his daughter
receiving, his or Rochester's. Mr.. Hut
chins replied that he did not. care for
married men to be paying his daughter
attention. He later took Rochester to
one side and told him he must cease
his attentions toward his daughter.
This seemed to run him almostewli
He walked out to the front gate. drew
his revolver from his pocket, and fired
at Miss Hutchins and ChenowOrth, who
sat by her side. The shot flew wide OF
its mark, however, and the young man
across the street placed the weapon to
his breast and fired two shots with the
result mentioned. ii[fS OF BITE

has Just paid New York hurried visit
0f two weeks or more, and he has OBJ
served superiicially In that short time
our utter laclS OF "manners."
The thing which seemed to shock him
most was the habit which is practiced
hero Of acknowledging favor by
leaving our cards on those persons to
whom we are indebted If We have
dined with Mrs. Chose, We have always
been taught that a "dinner CALI was an
imperative duty, and that this call
should he paid personally within u
week. This, it seems, to our surprise,
Is entirely wrong, and not English"
They, tho swells in London, according
to our censor, never make dinner calls,
hence, they being willing to accept
| everything and To give nothing, We be-
| nighted individuals must follow suit.
| He makes no mention of the French,
| who always pay promptly their "cali OF
| Digestion" to translate literally,
| Another social custom which he con-
sidered important enough to criticiSG is
the fact that many hostesses now make
a courtesy, instead OF shaking hands, on
receiving their guests at formal tunc-
lions.

There Is np doubt about the fact that
