THE MURDER.

Funeral of the Victim-News of the
Fugitive.
The awful tragedy OF Saturday
night was the one topic OF CONVEX
sation yesterday and every officer
in the city was on the alert for the
fugitive husband, Manuel Herrera.
He was heard Of in several places
and went to DR.. Withers early in
the morning, about 80 to have a
wound dressed which was made by
knife, over his heart. He had
tried to commit suicide. His wound
was dressed and he left.
Geo. BARLEY, the colored watch
mad of the Texas Steam laundry,
adjoining the scene Of the murder,
was an eye witness Of the crime. He
saw che murderer tearing hair by
handtuls from the woman's head,
cursing her in English, and threat
ening to kill her and the "whole
Losoya family" while he BRAN
dished long knife in his hands,
she meanwhile, begging for her
life, with her two children holding
her by the 'hands and also
begging their father not to kill
their mother. The quarrel and the
entire conversation was in English,
not in Spanish. After striking the
fatal blow, which was downward
stroke and reached the woman's
heart, Herrera coolly passed by his
victim and went to the house where
he put on his coat and vest and
walked past her PROSTATE form
and out on to Losoya street to the
alley down which he turned and
fed, knife in hand.

Women vote in Wyoming, and one of
them was acting Governor of the State
for an entire week recently. She was
only 10 years old, too, but despite her
age and her sex, the affairs OF State
ran along as we'll as il the actual male
Governor had been in harness The
name of this wide. wake and enter
prising young woman is Eleanor Alice
Richards. She is her fathers private
secretary, and while he was absent in
ST. Louis recently attending an inter
State drill she ran the Shop for
Wyoming, as her sire expresses it. To
all intents and purposes she was the
Governor of Wyoming, and it is said
could have exercised any of the pre-
negatives Of the Office, including the
pardoning power The Lieutenant
Governor of Wyoming is merely Presi-
dent OF the Senate.
Her father has the utmost confidence
in her discretion and knowledge of
affairs of State, and he left all kinds
of State papers signed in blank so that
she could fill them out at moment e
notice If occasion required. Each day
she kept the Office of the Governor
open and did business for him as fast
as 1T came along. She knows all about
the duties of the chief executive of the
State, and prepares the most important
state papers for her father when he is
ct home.
Miss Richards is an up-to date girl
in every way. She was educated at a
we'll known eastern college, and there
studied politics, domestic economy,
rowing and bicycling, as well as most
of the regular branches taught at the
modern college for women. She is very
fond of her bicycle and every pleasant
day rides from the executive mansion
to the Governors office and back. Not
many weeks ago she found this accom-
plishment of value. An officer reached
Cheyenne with prisoner for extra
dition, and in order to get to the next
State in time it would be necessary for
him to leave by the next train within
an hour. 1t did not seem possible to
accomplish this, but Miss Richards said
she would see about it. She hurriedly
prepared the document, got her father s
signiture and annexed the seal of the
State to it. mounted her wheel and
was at the depot some time before the
train pulled out.

The nostrils, from being open and
alert, have closed up to utside affairs
to great extent and serve mainly as
conduits and as indicators of mental

KEEPIAG CORREor TIME.
1t is Not "a DihicuIt Matter If You Ar.
Careful.

An experienced jeweler and watch
maker when asked the reason why 80
few people kept good time, said that
nine tenths of the causes of bad-ru
ming watches were due to carelessness
and irregularity in winding. A watc ,
should be wound at the same time
every day and it ought to be regulated
on one day every week at the noon
hour when both hands came together !;
the finest watches cannot be made per-
feet, and the best way TO detect any
difference between the two hands is TO
reset them at II o'clock, and if they
are not exactly together make them
so by holding the longer and winding
the hour hand up to it.
Expensive jeweled watches ranging
from $500 to 81, 900 are very seldom in
good running order simply because the
owner is afraid to let jeweler tamper
with it, and does not dare TO touch it
himself.
In large city, correct time, absolute
correct time, is matter between some
dozen or two of men who follow alI.ost
every stroke of the pendulum, and cor
rect their chronometere with as much
daily regularity as Capt, Cuttle's fa-
nous timepiece. Women are said to be
the most careless in the attention of a
watch. A lady has a watch presented
to her by gentleman friend. and
voluntarily promises to keep il in the
very best running order. Tho gentle
man friend has his misgivings on that
score, but he gets the jeweler to put it
in good shape couple of weeks ahead.
and thereupon hands it over to the
lady. Now, that watch has been run
ming like chronometer until the fair
owner gets hold of it. The first thing
she does is to notice the time in a store
window and as her watch does not
agree with it, she sets accordingly, put.
ting the regulator away over to one side.
That night she forgets to wind it up,
the next morning she winds it up only
half way for fear of breaking the main
spring, and sets it by another clock in
the afternoon; then it runs down in
side of eight hours and she thinks it
is running wild--as il very likely is,
since she has put the regulating lever
back and forth no less than six times
in the course of a week. After this
she wonders why the watch is always
wrong, and blames the ieweler.

owner, who had in the meantime come
to New York, and who is likely still
ignorant Of the narrow escape he hal
from the sharpers.
Another queer discovery was made
few weeks ago. Among the mail was
found an old book, in tho middle Of
which wasa piece OF cheap jewclry sent
from Italy through the mail TO escape
duty. A hole had been cut in the
leaves. The duty. would have been
only few pennies, but an expert who
examined the book says il is very
rare edition of valuable work and
easily worth $780,
The largest amount collected on a
package in the New York postoilice
was SSl. Each package is marked with
the initials Of the person examining it,
so that IL there is any question as tc
the package he or she is held rcspon-
sible. One of the oldest packages sent
through the department was a half worr
shoe mailed from South Africa, aud OF
which 81. 80 postage due was collected.
The examiners fancy an interesting
story must have been connected with
this queer boot to justify its being sem
| so far.

1t is Not Restricted 10 Writers, But Attacks
Artists and Musicians.

Artists and Musicians.
OF interest to every literary worker
is Kenyon Vests long article on
Writers Cramp, Its Recognition and
Prevention, in a recent number of
The Writer. " Writers cramp, in
one of its greatest FORMS" he says,
sis spasnlodic action Of the muscles
Of the hand or forearm which have
been concerned in the act of writing,
so that il the writer attempts to hold
the pen and use it in the same way TO
which he has always accustomed him
self the fingers refuse TO obey the COM
mands of the will. and writing is rem
dered impossible. Tho
term is not the best one which could
be chosen. First, because even in
the avdanced stages OF the paralytic
forms of the disease there is never
symptom of cramp or spasm ;and second,
because it is not restricted to writers,
but takes in those muscular and ner-
vous disorders and disturbances of
movement which affiict musicians,
artists and others. - His paper il,
however, devoted entirely to the ap-
pearance of the affection in writer's.
"No two cases of writer's cramp are
precisely alike, he continues, either
in their subjective effects or in their
visible manifestations. y
The first part of the article is de-
voted to the first symptoms and differ.
ent forms of the disease the second,
to its prevention, alienation and cure.
Physicians prescribe perfect rest, -
which is, of course, in most cases out
of the question, and, therefore, Mr..
West describes the different devices by
which writer's cramp can be prevented.
The penholder must be held in differ
ent ways between the thumb and the
first finger, between the first and
middle finger, between the middle and
fourth finger, dc. Holders should
never be smooth, and of various sizes.
Cork holders are preferable, and
changes can be made by tying two Of
them together, &c. Women should
take care not to wear tight sleeves
while writing, the arm should be kept
warm, the height and slant of writing
desk or table should be observed; in
short, hunded trihes go to make up
the ounce of prevention that is better
than the pound of cure. Interesting,
also, are the descriptions, with illus
trations of the different instruments
invented for the use of those who
suffer from the disease. 1t is wise, we
think, for all writer's TO keep the arti-
Giles on the writing desk for occasional
reference
