Hayward's Confession characterized By
Himself as Pack Of Lies.
Minneapolis. December 20.-The imrres-
sion Is growing that Harry Hayward the
prince of liars In life left his masterpiece
of falsehood to grow after his death In his
remarkable ante-mortem statement Not
only Is there evidence that he told many
sensational tales simply from a desire to
pose as a great criminal and TO give his
cousin Goodsel' a good thing. but II
now transpres that Harry to al least
three persons, characterized the statement
as a pack of hes.
W w Hayward, his father, publishes a
statement in which ne declares that Harry
told his parents before the confession that
they need not worry about what he said.
II was to be tissue of lies construC ted
to meet the demand for sensation. He az
sured them that he told them and them
alone the whole truth After making the
statement he told his attorney, John Day
Smith. that he had taken certain well
known facts and woven around them
plenty Of lies
THE public wants the case" he said,

Los Angeles. Cal. December 20.-The
story told by Harry Hayward recently
executed at Minneapolis for the murder
Of Miss Cling. regarding the murder at
Pasadena FIVE years ago by him, Is
thought to be entirely false.

mysterious disappearance or mysterious
of any Pasadena girl from the city at
any time and think that Hayward del h.
eratoly falsified. There are those who
declare that 1t is barely probable that
such a murder might have been com
mitted and the victim being a winter
resident here. but investigation fails to
unearth even a suspicious circumstance
that. would connect Hayward with muir

A MOUSE THAT FLIES.
Discovery OF IA New Mammal in the Cam
Groom Country.

Discovery OF IA New Mammal in the Cam
Groom Country. ,
A new mammal, previously unknown
to natural science. has been discovered
by George Zenller, German cOlonist
in the country back of the CAMERON
coast in equatorial Africa. It has been
named the Idiurus Zenllcri by the Ber-
lin museum of natural history. in
honor of the discovercr, and in English
would probably best be described as a
flying mouse. While somewhat re-
sembiing bat. it certainly belongs to
an entirely different species. The
animal is the size Of n mouse, its fur
is heavy. gray and soft, and it has q
wing membrane extending from the
neck all around the body. This men,
brane is covered with fine hair. living
closely against it. Two peculiarly
shaped bones, extending out from be-
hind the forward eXtremities, lend ad-
ditional support to the membrane,
which * strong enough to support the
flying mouse in short downward flut-
tering. The membrane acts more like
a parachute than u wing, and the
animal is unable to raise itself from the
ground by means of its flying apparatus.
A curiously developed tail, longer than
the animal itself, gives it a peculiar
aspect. This tall is covered by tiny
horny scales, between which long,
wimper-like hairs are growing out, and
1T ends in brush. Little is known
about the mode of life of the idiurus,
but it feeds mostly on vegetable mat
ter. ..., -~s.s..

Common Sense Doctrine.

The right of a man to defend him
self on his own premises has been vim.
dictated by the United States Supreme
Court in an Arkansas case. A man
with two others came on the premises
Of his brother.in- law to seize COW
He drew a revolver to intimidate the
owner OF the animal, and was there
upon struck and killed. The court
mt the trial held that this killing was
not justifiable, as the man must re.
treat inside his dwelling house before
he had right to fire in self defense.
The Supreme Court overrules this
decision. 1t holds that man on his
own premises is where he has q right
to be. If he did not provoke IN as
sault, and believed his life in danger,
nc was not obliged to retreat, and was
justified in meeting force with force.
This Is common sense doctrine, and it
10 gratifying to know that the high
est court has affirmed it to be good
law.

A GOOD INVESTMENT.
How IN English Convict Was Led to Make
Confession.

q Confession.
A well-knoYn firm of bankers in
London has just made a profitable in
vestment. Some time ago a man who
had defrauded them of large sum of
money was taken into custody, con-
victed and sentenced to a long term of
penal servitude.
AS may be imagined, says Tit
Bits, the prison fare did not agree
with a man who had by means
of fraud lived on the fat of the
land. The change affected him in
many ways but he complained more
particularly of the effect the food had
upon his teeth. They were not numer-
Gus or in good condition when he was
sentenced and as they rapidly became
worse he applied to the governor of the
prison for new set.
He was told that the government did
not supply prisoners with artificial
teeth and at the first opportunity he
wrote TO the banking firm in question,
offering, if they would send him new
set, to give them some valuable infor-
nation.
Thereupon the bankers, thinking the
offer might be genuine one, sent the
governor of the prison check. for FIVE
pounds and asked him to provide the
convict with q set of artificial teeth.
In due course the convict kept his
promise and sent the bankers certain
information, by means of which they
were enabled to recover no less than
one thousand five hundred pounds of
which they had been dcfraudcd. They
naturally regarded this as the best in
vestmcut they had ever made, but it
proved even better than anticipated,
for they have just received from the
prison authorities remittance of one
pound, the teeth having cost only four
pounds.

kAVA DRINKING.
a Peculiar Beverage of the :;outh Sea
Islands.

Kava is an indigenous tire, more or
less plentiful throughout re South
Sea islands, the root of wl. is en-
ployed in the manufacture drink.
When visitors are present, h cere-
mony is observed in it's prep ion. A
beautiful round bowl of '-colored
wood is produced, it's inter shining
with blue enamellike Goa . caused
by the deposit of the root. nerally
speaking, the best bowl is I - property
of the village, and much is taken
and time is spent in polish md pre-
serving the enamel in the i'ior.
Three young girls, WI shining
white teeth, chosen usua' rom the
"belles" Of the village, sea .smselves
around the bowl, each ha piece
of the kava root. This the. .oceed to
break up into small pieces md, put
ting them into their moutl chew the
dry root till it is reduced D a pulp.
which is placed from time % time in
the bowl. A sufficiency having been
thus prepared, water is poured in and
the whole mixture stirred ny; punches
OF fine fiber are then drawn through
the liquid to strain out any snail pieces
OF the root which may remain. The
drink Is now complete, and is passed
around in cups of cocoanut shell to the
chiefs and principal people of the as.
sembIy in order of rank.

Senator Jones Views.

Senator Jones was interviewed by
ii Journal reporter in:Reno Saturday
night and expressed himself as follows
on the outlook for silver:
"The outlook for silver is more
hopeful now than at any time since
the discussion commenced. People
are beginning to realize that the plat
forms of the great parties have been
made to deceive on the money ques.
ton, and the leaders of both have
been content, as usual, to have first
class gold mortgage on the candi-
dates. But the late contest i'll Ken
lucky shows somewhat of reversal,
for the Administration took the plat
form while the people gathered the
candidates. There has been, of
course, on the part of the President, a
shameful prostitution of Executive
powerand patronage in favor of LON
bard and Wall streets. Money was
,lnblushingly used in the late canvass
in Kentucky and is being insiduously
and industrfously circulated every
where possible to further fasten the
pangs of financial slavery upon the
people of the United States. The
hope of the country for the future is
the united action of the people in ia
vOr Of monetary reform, to which all
other issues must be subordinate, for
the people can we'll afford to lay aside
all other issues aud reforms until the
greatest of all can be accomplished,
assured that when the silver people
win the first. all others will follow.
The success of the cause of silver
means the full and complete develop
ment of the greatest country on
the face of the earth, the one des-
tined to be the superior OF all 9th
ers.
"The general panic of two years
ago forced prices really lower than
they should have gone, but revivals of
business out of which small fry poll
tlcians are endeavoring to make cap
ital, will only be temporary, and
worse slumps than ever will come I'M
less the people rise equal to the occa-
sion, and undeterred by threats, OK
hibit the courage that compe!s a free
people to fight for and maintain their
liberty. The Presidential election of
next year is fraught with more of
good or evil to the United States than
any that has preceded it since 1861.
Upon the people themselves will de-
volve the responsibility of wisely
determining what shall be their fate"
