HOLMES SHED TEARS.
Exhibited His Feelings over an Alleged
Telegram From Minnie Williams.

Telegram From Minnie Williams
PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 2l.-A startling
revelation came TO light in the Holmes
case W. A. Shoemaker, counsel for
Holmes, received @ message from Minnie
r.. Williams dated Providence, which
stated that the sender was alive and well.
This is one OF the Womon whom Holmes
is accused of having murdered in the Chi
cago castle.
When questioned IN relation to the mat.
ter, Mr. Shoemaker at first seemed reuct-
ant 20 discuss IT, but finally admitted that
he had received such a dispatch. eve
have concluded all along, said he, THAT
Minnie Williams was alive.
DO you think the telegram is gem
uinoY' was asked.
1T may or may not be. My opinion,
however, Is that It was sent by Minnie
Williams. Holmes told me that he sup
poses the girl has just arrived from Lon
don and perhaps was induced to send the
message by some Of his friends
1T is more than likely that Mimic
Williams sent the message from Provi-
dence and then hurriedly left the town.
She has always had particular fondnoss
for Boston and has many friends in that
city. She may have been on her way there
when she telegraphed me-.
Whom the message was shown TO Holmes,
he at once exhibited his feelings 81
knew my story that did not kin the girl
would be confirmed said the criminal
as he brushed the tears from his eyes. 81
am sorry, however, that she has made her.
self so public by telegraphing. She might
as well have written"
Then Holmes reiterated the statement
that he has made so ofton-that the last
time he saw Minnie Williams was when
he left her at Toronto with the Pitzel chill.

Missouri Crops.

An epidemic of corn liars is the
latest thing Missouri has to offer.
Fish stories are no longer in it. from
the fact that the stories told by the
corn liars are true.
Missouri heads the list with Il per-
centage of l-l5 in the government re-
ports as to the condition of the corn
crop on Aug |.
The horrible news comes from
South Fork that young man climbed
a corn stalk to see how the ears were
getting along, and now the corn is
growing faster than he can climb
down. Three men have begun to cut
down the stalk and it is hoped the
young man may be rescued before
starvation overtakes him.-Mercury
The corn crop in Jefferson county
is immense. We are informed that
Mr.. James y. Wilson, of Big River,
will gather fifteen thousand bushels
from his farm-Crystal Mirror.
j. q. Brown, of Benton creek, was
in town on Saturday last and from IA
feed of corn which he brought in and
was in the act of feeding his team We
selected and measured four ears of
corn. Eeach was twelve inches in
length, and contained eighteen rows
or kernels. each row containing fifty
eight grains of corn or 1,O5S in all.
The largest of the ears weighed
four ounces. 20 pounds is the esti-
mated weight of bushel of corn on
the cob. 1t would take but 33 ears of
such corn to make bushel of shelled
corn. The ear measured nine and
one-half inches in circumference This
is Missouri corn. The world cannot
beat it.-Crawford Mirror.

led about the same number Of pieces
for $50. O00. 900.
This disprOpOrtiOn l.. however. no
credit to the United States. 1t is due
to the fact that in almost all European
countries farmers have their mail de-
Iivered at their doors. Here the farm
er is required 70 80 for his mail
Abroad rural and city districts are
treated alike in free delivery. save
that deliveries are more frequent in
cities than in the country.
The United States Post Office De-
partment is not only the greatest in
the world-and its expenditure is
greater than that of any one country.

1850, occording to DR.. Won Neumann
Spedlhart, Europe handled 5.S34. .O00.-
900 piecies of postal matter. The ag-
gregate is now little over twice this.
In the same period the mail matter in
our own Post Office Department has
grown nearly threefold. In 1865 the
Frankfurter ''Zeitung' placed the
total number of letters in the whole
world at 1900, 10000 Down to 1888
this number, according to Mulhall,
had about trebled. rising to 7.762, ,0O0,-
coo. In the last thirty years in this
country the number of letters has
grown about fivefold.-Philadelphia

japanese Intrepidity.

At the stOrming of the Gunmun gate
at Ping-yang, the thick stone walls
proved impervious to Japanese shot
and shell. and after two fruitless as
saults it was decided to try some other
method. Lieut. Mimura volunteered
to open the gate single-handed. but
Private Harada stepped out and said
he would follow along and help. Both
men then ran for corner of the gate
way. while their comrades diverted
the attention of the Chinese defenders
by keeping up hot fusillade. Mimura
and Harada climbed quickly up the
face of the wall by placing their hands
and feet in the chinks between the
stones. They succeeding in reaching
the top without being seen by the
Chinese. who were busy blazing away
at the main body of the enemy, and
then jumped down and rushed for the
inside of the gate. They had to cut
their way through horde of China
men as soon as they had gotten inside
of the town, but they finally beat them
off and threw the bolts of the heavy
gates, that were at once showed in by
the attacking force outside. Both
Lieut.. Mimura and Private Harada
were promoted the next day.-Har.

A CLOSE TRADE.
An Instance of "Nearness" That is
Hard TO Beat:

The close-tisted and the absent
minded serve similar use-they
amuse their neighbors. The New
York Sun quotes man from the ru-
raj districts as telling a story of a
Mr.. Putterby. an old-time townsman
of his. whose reputation for near
ness" was evidently well deserved.
Locally he was thought to be almost
a prodigy ir this respect. but no
story of this kind is so good but that
another can be found to beat it.
One of the coins current in those
days was the old Spanish silver-piece,
which passed for twelve and a half
cents, and was variously called
..nine-pence, York shilling" and
''bit. " 1t was the existence of this coin
that enabled Mr.. Butterfly to achieve
his crowning triumph in the way of a
close trade.
a farm-boy came along one day
with load of pumpkins, which he
was peddling about the village at a
cent apiece. Mr.. Butterfly looked at
them, concluded to buy. but wanted
only half pumpkin.
But whole one is only a cent. =
said the boy. How are you going
to pay me for half a one?"
Easiest thing in the world,'' said
Mr.. Putterby.
The pumpkin was cut, he took one
half under his arm, and handed the
boy a shilling.
Now give me the twelve cents
change" he said: and taking the
twelve coppers from the astonished
boy, he walked away with his pur.
chase.

A NEW ENTERPRISE.
To Manufacture Medi-
cine on a Large Scale.
The Sackmann Medicine Company
Incorporated with n Capital
stock of Twelve ThOus-
and Dollars.

Mr.. John r. Sackmann, who for the
past few months has been manufacture
ing the celebrated Sackmann Liver
Tonic. has associated himself with
several leading business men of this
city and formed corporation known
as the Sackmann Medicine Company.
This company will manufacture in a
large way the famous Sackmann
Liver Tonic This well known liver
tonic was manufactured in years gone
by by Mr.. Sackmann's father. the
late VIM. NJ. Sackmann. and the
medicine at that time acquired a great
reputation as a liver tonic. The elder
Sackmann acquired the secret of this
great tonic in Europe where it had
been used for long time in the
malaries countries on the lower
Danube.
This new enterprise has leased the
three story building heretofore known
as the Spanish Street Hotel and will
at once put in an extensive laboratory
and besides manufacturing Sackmann
Liver Tonic on a large scale, will
also prepare other valuable medicines.
We ara pleased to see this new en-
terprise started in our city and wish
the firm success.
At an early date the company will
also esta blish a wholesale drug house.
