Assault with Wooden Les-A Kick.


Messrs. Dickinson and Carpenter, OF
Wheatland paid visit this morning 10
Clerk Slocum of the Supreme Court.
Mr. Dickinson assaulted Mr.. Carpenter
with his wooden leg and the question

To Hear the Telephone,

Manager Fowler Of the Telephone
Exchange, Ashland, KY, has devised an
ingenious attachment for telephones, to
be used in factories and shops where
the amount Of noise makes 1t almost
impossible to hear the call bell of the
Instrument. 1t consists OF steam
whistle. which Is turned on by means
of lever operated by magnetism.
When the instrument is called from the
Exchange the bell rings as usual, and
by the electric current passing through
a magnet, a weight Is released which
pulls the lever TO the whistle. Once
started, the whistle keeps up its shrill
note until some one answers the call
and turns off the steam, which Is done
by simply replacing the weight. One
Of these attachments is being placed at
the local steel plant, another at the
tannery, and several more will proba-
bly, be installed in saw-mills and SINH

sensational scenes ever witnessed in a
courtroom occurred here when Judge
White sentenced a man named Jones
to death FOR murder. Jones was put on
trial last Friday morning and a verdict
of guilty was returned Saturday morn

verdict and when called to stand up for
sentence arose mechanically. Jones APP
parently did not take any interest in
the proceedings till near the close. Then
he leaned forward and listened intent.
w. AS the words "hang by the neck
until dead" were uttered by Judge
White Jones fell to the floor, apparently
as dead as IL bullet had entered his
heart. For a long time he was thought
dead, but he was finally partly revived.

It was a boundary hit, the spectators
began TO look for the ball, but they
could not find it. Then some OF the
cricketers Joined in the search, but the
ball could not be seen, though they

Eventually the search was abandoned

continued. When IL had been in pro-

wheeler, less capable in appearance ana
less beautifully equipped than was the
Meteor. She lies with her Prov high
upon the beach at the harbor OF Sagua
Grande, on the northern coast OF CUBA.
This vessel was fred upon and injured
by one of the blockading fleet and put
into Sagua, where she was sunk after
being deserted by her crew. Her cargo
of cotton was partially removed before
she was abandoned. Beneath the full
effulgence of the tropic moon, her
masts, standing bare from her broken
decks, her ancient black funnel still
held in place in spite of the hurricanes
of the past thirty years, and her sides
leaning well to starboard, seem like the
shadows of phantom ship rising from
the glistening waters of the bay.

death.
Another trace of the blockade is the
schooner Ranger, which was captured
off the Gulf coast. She was apparently
lost in a storm, but ultimately made her
way to Jaomel, where she was beached
and deserted. This ship is in good

masts and the decay OF time. The Ran

Such, il il were repeated, would be
the common history of large number
of the long, low-built bulls which are
to be found on the Cuban coast or In
Porto Rico, or even scattered among the
low reefs Of the Bahama Banks. The
excitement of the night voyage along
the rebel coast, when no light was
shown, no voice heard aloud; the tremor
of discovery and the anxiety of the long
chase and the escape; the vibrations OF
the engines as every pound or steam
was utilized to quicken precious speed
| these remain only in the memories OF
| the surviving few who participated In
| them. Then, too, came the despair,
when, cooped up within narrow bay OF
| some palm-clad island, the anxious
fugitives awaited the departure of the
distant steamer, whose presence outside
that three-mile limit meant inevitable
capture. But the steamer waited until
it was useless to hope, and now the de-
caying wreck is the only witness OF the
ng-forgotten tragedy Of flight.

ADALINE SHEPHERD.

Hawthorne the artist Hilda OF "The
Marble Faun," as Badger relates in his
story of their courtship.
1t was during Alkaline Shepherds So
journ in the Hawthorne household that
"The Marble Faun" was written. The
Hilda of the tower, Hawthorne tells us,
twas a slender, brown-haired New Eng
land girl, whose perceptions of form
and expression were wonderfully clear
and delicate. An orphan without near
relatives, and possessed OF a little prop
erty, she had found it within her posi-
bilities to come to Italy. Hildas gen.
tie courage had brought her safely over
land and sea; her mild, unflagging per-
severance had made place for her in
the famous city, even like a flower that
finds a chink for itself and a little
earth to grow in on whatever ancient
wall its slender roots may fasten."
Alkaline Shepherd, who, not unlike
Hilda, was rich in the faculty of gen
uine admiration," which Hawthorne
says lis one Of the rarest TO be found
in human nature" won the tender re-
gard of gifted w. w. Story. then on

wife filled the chair of modern Ian

shadow fell. He became subject TO
epileptic fits. The wife opened school
in Boston. The combined cares OF
school and nursery began to tell at
length on the delicate organization. In
her blood was faint of insanity. This
thought preyed upon her weakened
condition. One night she slipped away
and committed suicide by leapins Into
the Sound from a Providence line

Nev Accusations of British Museum.

Among curiosities lately acquired by
the British museum the first place is
due to some very remarkable acquisi-
tons connected with Charles l., one
being copy of the secret Instructions
to the commissioners appointed for
raising forced loan in 1926. No other
printed copy is at present known to
exist and Mr.. Gardiner, while writing
his history of the time. was obliged to
refer to manuscript in the state paper
office. The interest of this copy is much
enhanced by its being addressed to the
county Of Nottingham, where Charles
was destined 10 commence the civil
war sixteen years afterward, and by
its bearing his signature on the first
page of the text.

There may be bits of bric-a-brac about,

grouped together as though offered for
sale. The prettily bound books which
are now the fashion are allowable
evenings in a sitting-room, and books
always give homelike air, even If the
leaves are not cut. The silver tables
will still reign, but these collections are
really interesting in many cases, and
the dark plush or velvet on which the
ornaments are placed is really thing
of beauty as a general rule. The tea
table is part and parcel of the furnish
ings of the room, but need no longer
be in evidence. 1t must be placed be-
hind some sofa or lounge and near
enough to be brought forward at the
