A ROMANTIC INDIAN TRAGEDY.
Truly Oriental Plot as Worked Out
in Real Life.


i'm Real Life.
From the Pail Mall Gazette.
Information has just been received of a
tragedy in real life that surpasses the imag-
nation of the novelist. 1t would appear
that a. Brahmin travelling between Chittur
and Nemara was belated in the road and
asked for shelter for the night at house
where he was received by two Nair women
He intrusted to the elder sister 600 rupees
for safe keeping.
This reused her cupidity, and induced her
to propose to her younger sister to make
away with the unsuspecting guest and
pocket the money. The latter, however,
stoutly refused to take part in the crime
Later in the night the husband of the elder
woman arrived on the scene when he read
lily fell in with the proposal Of his wife.
In the meanwhile the younger woman de-
termined to avert the murder, reused her
unsuspecting guest who was sleeping In
veranGa, warned him of his danger, and
locked him up in a cullum attached to the
house.
The brother Of the two women returned
toward midnight and. fatigued with his
journey, seeing the house shut, quietly lay
down and slept on the mat vacated by the
Brahmin. Soon after the would-be murder
ers, utterly unconscious of the change
made in the occupant Of the mat, settled
err. and buried the corpse in the dark, with
out knowing their fatal mistake, and ef-
faced all the traces Of the blood that
was spilled and retired to their guilty re-
pose.
In the morning the Brahmin was released
by his fair rescuer, and words cannot de-
scribe the surprise and horror that over
came the murderers when their supposed
victim appeared before them and demanded
the money. Dumb with horror. the money
was restored to the Brahmin, who gave in
formation to the police Of his intended muir
der. While police inquiry was in progress
it TRANSFERRED that the brother of these
women had mysteriously disappeared. The
police accordingly made a vigorous search
and unearthed the corpse of the deceased
and found some traces of bloodstain at the
doorstep, which had not been wholly re-
moved.
The police have accordingly arrested the
cufprits. and the matter is under police In
vestigation. To conclude the interest of the
narrative. we have only to add that these
revelations have impressed the Brahmin
with due sense Of the extent of the dan
ger he had escaped and the magnitude Of
the service rendered to him by his rescuer.
He therefore made her a present of the
tho, and rupees. which was the original
incentive to crime on the part Of the muir
derers.

A Story of Mystery,

Do you know what STORY of Mystery
Is? It is a continued story of which all but
the last chapter is printed, and then guesses
are made as to the solution, then the final
is printed.
On October seventh a most interesting
mystery story. "When the War Was Over"
VIII be started in The Star, and five hundred
dollars will be given for the first absolutely
correct solution. In case no guess is abso-
lutely correct the amount will be divided
among those nearest to correct solution.
The guesses will be confined to women read

How the Sun Knocks Things Out.

From the Nineteenth Century.
The sun is doubtless in the main great
globe of gas, although so intensely COM
pressed in its central parts that they may
be i'll a thickened or semi-viscous condi-
ton. The gravitating attraction of the suns
mass is ever tending to generate a down.
ward velocity In the gaseous molecules,
situated in any part of it. toward it's center.
At the same time, the radiation of heat at
its surface dirGinishes the upward counter
balancing pressure. This allows the mole
cuies to be actually more OF less drawn in
ward. Their individual average veloc!ties
are. upon the whole increased. Their knocks
against each other become more violent and
generate an increase of temperature. And
the result which might at first seem to be
almost paradoxical, Is explained, viz: That
the sun, as its surface radiates heat away
(Which SO far is cooling process), may
nevertheless, through its consequent con-
traction, generate = higher temperature by
the fiarcer clashings together. or knocks, of
it's molecules, as they are drawn inward.
This may enable 1t to send forth a more in
tense heat and light than before.

From Tid-Bifs
When arranging their list of club runs at
the beginning of the season it is usual for
cycling clubs to leave several dates open,
and these appear on the fixture cards as
''impromptu."
At a meeting held by a newly formed
Tyneside club one of the members was
asked to nominate place.
"Wey, IA Think said he. that we
might hev a run te Impromptu; there's a

Discussing Plans for the Projected
Labor Bureau.
A report submitted last night at the
meeting Of those interested in the labor
bureau and Workingmen's Library stated
that Mr.. Weaver of the department of la
Dor is taking much interest in the project,
and has enabled the committee on statis-
tics 10 get good deal of information about
the working of similar institutions in
other cities.
The appointment of committee of five
was ordered, whose duty it shall be to visit
the various local organizations who have
not taken action in reference to the bu-
reau, to explain its objects and invite their
cooperation.
The meeting was well attended. repre-
sentatives being present from Carpenters
Union. No. l. Carpenters Assembly, Tin
and Sheet Iron Workers. Ladies' Assembly
Paper Hangers, Street Railway Union,
Bakers Drivers, Plate Printers, Excelsior
Bakers. Stole Masons, House Painters
Printing Freshmen and Engineers
The election for permanent officers will
be held Monday, October IA.
Several labor organizations met last
night, but their proceedings were limited
to routine matters, nothing of public in
terest being considered.
The employees of number of the various
bottling establishments in the city have de-
cided to organize. and have selected a set
of temporary officers. Permanent officers
will be chosen at the next meeting.
1t is expected that the meeting tonight Of
the Federation of Labor will be very in
teresting. The committee of that body in
structed to report as to the eXpediency of
the local federation affiliating with the
American Federation of Labor will make
a final report. The committee being unable
to agree, it Is understood that two reports
will be submitted. The committee has
made most exhaustive inquiry. The re-
port Of the minority is favorable to afiilia-
ton ard appeals strongly to the organized
labor of the District. AS this is a uues-
ton of more than local Importance IN
vo,ving the status of labor within the
jurisdiction of the Federation, it is re-
garded by many as the most important
question ever brought to the attention Of
the representative body.

A PRACTICAL JOKE.
As il Apt to BE the Case,was Not Very
Funny.

As In Apt to Be the Case, Was Not Very
Funny.
From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
One day not very long ago, as the gen.
tleman who delights in playing jokes was
alking along one Of the downtown streets,
he was met by friend whom he had otter
succeeded in making ridiculous by his
good-natured trickery, and who repeatedly
avowed his intention Of getting even with
Him. 1t was directly in front Of one OF
the banks where they met, and as they
came within speaking distance the friend
extended lis hand very cordially and said
why. hello. So-and-So: glad to see you
Won't you go and have some lunch with
me today?"
yes. thanks I'd be pleased to-" said the
other.
well. get right into my buggy, said the
friend. pointing to an elegant rig in front
OF the bank, land I'll DO ready in a few
moments"
So saying, the friend went into the bank
while his unsuspecting companion got into
the buggy. pulled the buster over his iai
and prepared to enjoy the ride home with
his friend. He had been sitting in TIL.
position for about five minutes when
tall. fne-looking woman with couple
small bundles came out Of a dry good
store two or three doors east Of the banl
and walked toward the buggy. They die
rot see each other until the lady got very
close to the buggy, as 1t faced the opposite
direction to the store from which she wac
coming and the man was sitting on the side
next to the street. As soon as the lady
reached the buggy and was about to de-
posit her bundles on the seat she saw the
ir truder. stopped short and gazed at him
in utter amazement. She was the first to
speak, and said in a rather naughty man.
ner:
What are you doing in my buggy?"
The man now saw this was one on him
and turning very red in the face he stanp-
mered out: "Oh-er-ah, 1 guess there's
some mistake. Beg your pardon"
So saying the poor victim beat a hasty
retreat and started toward the bank. whefs
he found his friend just inside the door
nearly convulsed with laughter.

Paris Letter to Lcndon Telegraph.
From country town comes the story
of girl who has lost by death three men
to whom she was successfully engaged. In
the first instance the youth to whom she
had been betrothed for year and q half
expired on the very eve Of the wedding In
the second. another young man to whom
she had been engaged soon after the melan-
choly event died a few days before the
marriage. and his successor in her affec-
lions has now shared similar fate. 1t
seems that sundry ancient females Of the
neighborhood, attributing this series of
caiamities to the fact that the young
woman has the EVIL eye" have calmly sug-
gested that the only remedy is to be found
in burning her alive. On that score she
need have no fear. of course, but the gen.
eral opinion is that her chances of meeting
with a fourth sutton are now infinitesimal
The unlucky girl is described as being of
an amiable and sympathetic disposition,
and as being. moreover. Of very attractive
appearance.

Hunters quay. Scotland. July 3.-Lord
Dunraven's new cup challenger. Valky-

ANNA and A. Barclay Walkers Ailsa.
The Britannia averaged 11.27 knots per

There was no dead-to-windward work.
The contest was limited TO close and free

the Britannia is incontestbly better than
either the Ailsa or Valkyrie III. in a fine

is probable that the colossal new cutter
will not be able 10 distance the Britannia
in windward work, except IN light breezes.

she is too heavily spared and over-can-
vassed, and that, to make a show against

in ! minute and 10 seconds astern OF the

inc convention on cumberland
Island at an End.
Brunswick, Ga, July 3.-The teachers
convention on Cumberland Island came
to a close to-day. The closing was one day
earlier than expected but the diminishing
crowds and non-appearance of some who
were to read papers and address the
convention made 1t advisable. Ex-Presi-
dent Quinn and the young ladies' or
chestra left yesterday, and President
Stewart and the remainder of the pupils
left to-day.
There has been some misunderstanding
in regard to the transportation of the
orchestra, they having been promised
transportation by the railroads, but at
the last minute the roads failed to re-
spond. President Quinn expressed deep
regret at this and offered to foot the
bill, but Prof Van Hoos would not hear
to 1t, and the young ladies were very anx-
ious to pay their own bills. The matter
will be Strengthened out.
The reports of disruption in the ranks
has caused considerable trouble to the
association. but it also caused the mem
bers to soldify and work and subscribe
to put the association out OF debt The
entire truth of the matter is hard to get
at. as both sides have ample testimony to
support their claims.
Speaker Crisp and family arrived to.
day and will be guests at st. Simons for
two weeks.
