terrible criminal he would have
made had he turned his energy and
sagacity against the law, instead of ex.

loud crow of delight

Together we flung ourselves upon il
once more, and this time it gave way
with sudden snap, and we found our
selves within Bartholomew Sholto's
chamber. N
It appeared to have been fitted up as
a chemical laboratory. "A double line
of glass-stoppered bottles was drawn
up upon the wall opposite the door,
and the table was Uttered over with
Bunsen burners, test tubes and retorts.
In the corners stood carboys of acid in
wicker baskets. One of these appeared
to leak or to have been broken, for a
stream of dark-colored liquid had
triclxled out from it, and the air was
heavy with peculiarly pungent tar
like odor A set of steps stood at one
side sof the room, in the midst of a lit
ter of lath and plaster, and above
them there was an opening in the cell
ing large enough for man to pass
through. At the foot of the steps a
long coil of rope was thrown carelessly
together.
BY the table, in wooden armchair,
the master of the house was seated all
in heap, with his head sunk upon his
left shoulder, and that CHASTITY, inscrut-
able smile upon his face. He was stiff
and cold, and had clearly been dead
many hours. It seemed to me that not
only his features but all his limbs were
twisted and turned in the most fan
tastic fashion. BY his hand upon the
table there lay peculiar instrument,
"a brown, close-grained stick, with a
stone head like hammer, rudeiy
dashed on with coarse Irvine. Beside it
was torn sheet of note paper with
some words scrawled upon it. Holmes
glanced at it, and then handed it to me.

raising of the eyebrows.

a CareIess Reader.

Editor Morning News: The writer was
more than surprised to read your edito-
rial about a third term for Cleveland.
1t is astonishing that your paper should
couBtenance such a preposterous idea.
II few fanatics should succeed in forcing
his nomination on the party, the demo-
Gratis almost to a man would assist the
republicans in defeating overwhelmingly
candidate Cleveland. Although 1 aided in
electing him twice, am an
Anti-Third Termer.
If "Anti-Third Termer'' had read the
article in the Morning News with more
care he would not have thought it
necessary TO write the foregoing commu-
nication. The Morning News is against
a third term for Mr.. Cleveland or any
body else. What the Morning News SAID
was that If congress in it's approaching

Sheldon should win this event for Yale.
For throwing the hammer, Yale has
wonderfully good man in w. o. Hickok.
He can sling the hammer 135 feet inches,
and think nothing of it. He defeated the
oxford men in this event last year with
throw of 10 feet inches. He has won
the hammer contest at the intercollegiate
and Yale-Harvard games for the last three
years in succession. II. z. Cross, with
record of 135 feet, will be Yale's second

The Cambridge hammer-throwers will
be A. B. Johnson, with a record of l08 feet,
and E. NJ. Jennings, with a record of 81

Hickok or Cross should win the hammer
for Yale without an effort.
In putting the shot Hickok will again

Just now.
records count for any thing, Yale should
win the 1O0-yards dash, both the hurdle
races, the high jump, the broad jump, the
hammer and shot; and that Cambridge
should win the quarter mile run, the half

ring accidents, to win seven out OF the
eleven events, and Cambridge three, with
even chances for the odd run.
OF course no one can tell what a change

On the other hand, the Englishmen are
quiet gentlemanly fellows, who have

But no matter whether the dark blue of

have been a fair and manly one, and will
doubtless have done it's fun share toward
promoting a friendly feeling between the

A COMMON CAUSE OF SICKNESS.
IN WARM WEATHER NOTHING so
DANGEROUS AS DECAYED
FOODS.

Every one knows or ought to know that
decayed foods are poisonous. Boards of
health seek to prevent their sale.
We now have in mind the results which
follow the decay and decomposition of
foods after they have been eaten, for IN
less digestion occurs within a reasonable
time after our meals, decomposition sets
in.
If dyspepties will stop and consider for
a moment some of the symptoms Of their
trouble, such as disagreeable breath,
quotations of gas or bad taste in the
mouth, they will understand that they
all must come from decaying foods that
ought properly to have been absorbed
into the system.
Spots before the eyes, dizziness, sleep
lessness, dyspeptic headaches are but a
few of the effects following the absorp-
ton into the blood of poisOns deVeloped
from decomposing and undigested food
that lies in the stomach.
1t was a recognition of this important
fact that caused the Mount Lebanon
Shakers to devote so much of their time
to the preparation of a remedy for dys-
pepsia, and nothing is more efficient than
the Digestive Cordial which they have
recently placed on the market.
Its action is so prompt that relief fire.

Waycross. Ca, Oct. 3.-The story in last
nights dispatches concerning Prof. ]. ].
Higgs, principal of the Central City Nor
NAL and Industrial School, caused much
excitement among the colored people here
to-day, and the Morning News correspon-
dent made a thorough Investigation of
the matter.
The investigation showed that Prof.
Higgs has been maligned, the charges be-
ing false. The charges We're made by a
prominent colored man. Prof. Higgs is
now doing work in New York and Bos-
ton. The story, as published, was author
lied and Endorsed by the colored man who
gave it out and he so stated to the CORE
spondenI ana several witnesses this after
noon. The correspondent went to see
Arena Edwards, the young colored woman
VINO was alleged to have made grave
charges against Prof. Higgs
The Morning News correspondent OBJ
tanned the following story from Arena
in the presence of DR.. G. p. WASHINGTON
secretary of the board of trustees of the
industrial school: you (the CORRESPOND
denD, and the paper are not to blame for
the matter. The colored man who gave
1t out is. and he told a malicious false
hood. L never knew more honest man
than Prof. Higgs, and have never known
him to do a wrong thing. l DENY having
ever charged him with having Wronged
me. That story was told to get Prof.
HiggS into an embarrassing position for
some reason, and it was manufactured out
of whole cloth" The Morning News cor
respondent is satisfied that Prof. Higgs is
innocent and the Industrial school is
worthy of all that is claimed for il in the
tees, for the use of Prof. Higgs in his
present work at the north.
