gagged room in which to sleep
off his drunk, and after nap went
down to the office of the hotel,
where an alteration took place
with the elder Rodenbaugh in re-
gard to the condition of the room,
which led to blow from Roden-
baugh when Lane drew his pistol
and shot the former twice, once in
the head and once in the back.
Young Rodenbaugh rushed to his
fathers assistance with pistol in
his hand when Lane shot him in
the neck, inflicting a wound from
which he died in a few moments.
Lane was arrested and placed in
Jail. He is the same party who
was with Desha Breckenridge when
he accosted Judge Geo. B. Kin

with him, and was also present a
few minutes later when Breckin- |

Instinct and Reason.

The Cincinnati Enquirer tells this
story to prove that the instinct of self.
preservation is stronger than reason:
A man on a Lake Huron steamer had
the only specimen of black rattlesnake
have ever met with. 1t was about
the size of an ordinary garter snake
and as vicious as Satan. 1t was con-
fined in a strong box covered with
thick plate glass. When anyone would
touch the glass with his finger the
snake would strike the underside oppo-
site the finger as quickly as stroke OF
lightning. The experimenter would
always jerk away as suddenly. There
was not a man on board, however mus
cular and free from nervousness, who
could keep his finger to the glass when
the. snake would strike, although
knowing that it could not possibly
touch him. Strong men would try it
again and again, certain of their abil-
ity to endure the test, but with the
same result.

MINISTER rsuRsIos
To Lsave washington, Today-msy Become
Hawaiian Minister Of Foreign Affairs.

Washington, March 26.-The state de-
partment processes to have received no m
timation fran Mr.. Thurston, minister OF
Hawaii to the United States, or any one
authorized to speak for him, that he Will
leave Washington, tomorrow. to return
to Honolulu. This is not entirely an IN
usual proceeding, although some notifiea-
ton is generally given the department Of
the dcparture of foreign minister.
It Is likely that in the course OF day OF
two. Mr.. Hastings, the secretary OF leea-
ton, will inform Secretary Gresham that
he will be in charge Of Hawaiian affairs In
Washington during the absence OF his
chief. It Is certain that Mr. Thurston Will
not call at the state department to make
his adieu.
A steamer from Honolulu will be due
in San Francisco, tomorrow, and she Is
expected to bring the answer OF the
Hawaiian government to the demand
for Mr.. Thurston's recall. The course OF
diplomatic procedure is so slow that Mr..
Thurston may be in Hawaii before ms
government sends it's formal acquiescence
in Mr.. Grcsham's request.
Thcee is said to be some possibility that
Mr. Thurston may become minister OF
foreign affairs in the Hawaiian cabinet.
In such an event it is highly probable that
Minister Willis would be found persona
non grata to the Hawaiian secretary.

HE KEPT THE UMBRELLA.
Whether He Did Right or Wrong Their
Was Nobody to Decide.

The ethics of meum and tuum are
elastic as regarded by most individuals
One man thinks it his duty to keep
what another man will feel it a sin not
to render up, and where the RESPONSE
bility ends in the search for an own
er of lost property is an undecided
question. One man formed his de-
cision in public the other day in this
regard, and no doubt came out the bet.

He had stepped down the staircase Of
the Third avenue 81" at the Grand
Central station, and been whacked on
the shoulders by an excited woman
with very genteel umbrella.
sit belongs to the lady in red," she
screamed, and the man, who was a
gentlemanly, middle-aged individual,
forged ahead, gripping the umbrella,
which he offered to the young woman
in crimson, already carrying white
parasol
This young woman disclaimed it, and
the man, casting about for another
woman in red, lit on a portly female
well on in front, with wealth of red
roses in her bonnet.
This second also refused it, display
ing her own black gloria, and then the
perspiring, breathless gentleman fed
on, painting and pinning his hope on a
vestige of red which he saw in far-off
young woman's collar.
She didn't own it, either, and then
beneath the blazing afternoon sun the
overworked man stood and looked to
every side of him for one other woman
with glimmer of red, but he couldn't
see any. Then he felt he had dis
charged his duty and his face assumed
an expression not only of pleasure, but
of hope.
He unfurled the umbrella and strolsed
the silk appraisingly. He regarded the
handle, then the farule, raised it, eyed
it approvingly, closed it again, stuck it
under his arm to see how it felt when
1t wasn't raining. then opened it finally
again, and, thrusting it with an air of
well satisfied possession between him
and the sunlight, strolled down Forty

What Is Heroism?

There are different kinds of heroism,
says an exchange. To some people it
is jumping into the midst of fight,
and to others it IS the quiet endurance
Of everyday troubles. The boy who
must give up his inclinations because
his duty commands, who must live a
life of self-sacrifce, is a greater hero
than the one who in the enthusiasm OF
the moment sacrifices his life for an.
other. The boy who stood by his adj
miral and went down with the sinking
English man-of-war was a hero who
ought to have tablet in Westminster
Abbey, where England keeps record
Of her greatest men, but he was in no
respect greater than boy we know,
whose father has lately died, and who
has given up his hope OF a college
career to go into business to help sup
port his mother. The everyday patient,
accomplishing heroes are the truly
great ones.
