Waxellbawm of 119 East Sixty ninth street, Belle Allen, aged 24, and Bertha Leonard, aged g, of the Imperial hotel. The women were handsome and wore many diamonds. After dinner the party started in cabs for roof garden.
 The two cabs were on the east drive, near Seventy-second street, when sudden ly Gutman said to the woman who sat be- side him, "Oh, feel tired of it all." The dim light in the vehicle saw him draw something from his hip pocket There was a flash, a shot, and Gutman fell over with a bullet in his head. The woman screamed, opened the door of the cab. and before it had stopped fell in dead faint to the ground. There was blood upon the front of her silk gown.
 On hearing the shot Waxellbaum quick ly alighted and ran to his injured friend $ side. He was unconscious. A crowd gath cred in a minute. Finally policeman came, arrested the whole party and sent Gutman to asa asahospital.
 Gutman, who is 27 years old, is in the employ of his uncles, Gutman Brothers, dealers in mems furnishings at 452 Broad way. He resides with his parents at 1045 Madison avenue. Just at this time most of his family are out of town. They are said to be wealthy. Walter Gutman, a brother of tho wounded man, was seen early this morning at his home, but could not imagine why his brother should have tried to kill himself.

Thomas Dunn English, the Author of "Old
 Glory" New National Song.
 Thomas Dunn English has been writ ing poetry for 60 years, and is still courting the muse at the ripe old age of threescore and sixteen. He has just prepared for publication national song called "Old Glory" which he hopes will become as popular in the land of the free as the "Star Spangled Banner" and Yankee Doodle" The song was written some years ago and set to mu- sic, but the music did not please Dr. English, and he recently asked friend to compose new air The friend did the work to the authors complete satis faction and "Old Glory" will soon be given to the nation. A fair idea of the character of the stirring song may be gained from the first verse, which is as follows:
 Though crowns may break and thrones may
 fall,
 Though changes may the world appall, Our banner shall survive them all
 And ever live in story.
 The rainbow of a rescued land, Where freemen brave together stand, With truth and courage hand in hand,
 Floats proudly here, Old Gloryl REFRAIN.
 Old Glory, Old Glory,
 Floats proudly here, Old Glory! Old Glory, Old Gloryl Hurrah for you, Old Glory! Dr. English is a very versatile man. He has made his mark in literature, in law, ill medicine, in science and in pol

Feminine Consistency.

''Of course, dear, I think he's just awful, He smiles and stareS at mo so, But really. he dresses just lovely, That makes such a difference, you know. 'I'm perfectly sure I abhor him, He's so impudent, bold and all that. But his manners are perfectly charming, Hes princelike in raising his hat. "His attentions are really annoying, do wish that ho would desist, But his eyes arc so handsome and pleading, They're really quite hard to resist. ''I fear he will force an acquaintance, I'm quite at a loss what to do, wish could learn what his name is, I'd give the whole world if knew.'

HE MEANT IT.
A Tramp Who Was Mean Enough to Max,
 TrOuhIa


 Trouble. The landlord of the village tavern had told Farmer Hicks that he had tramp at the barn who would work cheap, and the farmer went out to have talk with him.
 "Look-a-here, began the agricultur- ist after some general talk, i've must come to a fair understanding before we kin set the price, You are to git up at o'clock in the morning." "Yes''
 "And work till tell you to stop." "Yes."
 "You sleep in the barn?' "I'm willing"
 "You eat i'll the kitchen?" "All right
 "You are to call me judge when you speak to me-"
 "I will.
 "You are to call my wife Lady Hicks?''
 "I'll do that too"
 Whatever say goes, and that with out any dispute? There must be no talk ing back?'
 "No, sir
 ''I want to be treated with as much respect as if I was the president him self''
 "I see."
 eff any one is around, you are to take off your hat to me. "
 "I will.'
 "Now about the wages. I'll give you $4 per month, half ill cash and half in store pay"
 "That's all right. '
 "And you are to work Sundays and holidays if say so?"
 Certainly "And you won't be allowed tea, coffee or fresh meat?''
 II don't want 'em.'
 "Well, that's all think of. Hold on Did I say $4 per month";" "Yes'' "I mean just half of that.'' ''Very well. " "And all store pay"
 "All right. ''
 "Well, I'll call in about two hours, and you be ready" wondered that the tramp yielded ev- cry point so humbly, and when the farmer had gone I asked him why he had done so.
 Because I am tired of life and want good place to hang myself ill. He's just the kind of man I like to make trouble for
 He laughed as he said so and had no idea he was in earnest. Next morn ing the farmer came into the town with his team on the run, and as he halted ill front of the inn he called out: "Git the coroner, and jury, and a coffin and come along, for that internal tramp has hanged himself in the gran ary with the lines off my Sunday har- ness !'-Texas Siftings.
