A Rank Disappointment.

The speech of ex-senator Hiscock in
the vacant lot near The COMET office,
last Tuesday, was a decided frost.
The meeting had been extensively ad.
vertised all over the county and every

But early in the morning the country

as anticipated, and at 1 o'clock the
space about the speakers stand was
not packed with-humanity.
Not over three hundred people as
sembled to hear the distinguished New

wished they hadn't. He made the
poorest speech of the season. He be-
gan an abusive harrangue, but as tire.
mendous applause was not forth COM
ing he simmered down and finished in
milder tone. There was absolutely
nothing in his speech, and it was said
by republicans that the committee evi

He went out to Erwin Wednesday

II Was q Test Case.

After q long and tedious trial Chicago
jury brought in a verdict awarding ex-
Judge Lambert Tree, former minister to
Belgium, $38, 800 damages against Michael
G. Mcdonald, known in gambling and
turf circles of the country as Mike Nc
Donald. The action grew out of the rent
ing of the Garfield park race track, owned
by Judge Tree, TO the Garfield Park club.
Mcdonald, it was claimed, guaranteed the
rent, and the point on which the defense
rested to win was that the ex-minister
knew the law against gambling was being
violated on his property, and therefore
had no right to recover, having rented the
track for gambling purposes. Judge Tree,
however, swore he was ignorant of the
betting on the races there. Mcdonald
will be sued for S25, 900 more rent due
from the defunct club under the lease.

No mans work is done. A sense OF i'm

Mr.. Davidson mentioned that a set of val

He then poured the contents into pitcher,
deity broke the neck of the bottle and
pulled from the interior the missing plans.
Mr.. Davidson was not only thunderstruck,
but delighted, and as token of his ap.
probation, presented bicycles to Mr.. and

SLAIN BY A MOTH.

Defense That Was Effective in Case of
Prince.
Recent murder mysteries serve to
-ecall that of Princess Caravella, sin
gularly lovely woman, who met with a
violent death at Naples, says the New
York World.
The princess had been entertaining
a party OF friends at dinner at the
Caravella palace and as she had prom
tsed to attend a ball toward midnight
she went to her bedroom to lie down
Tor few minutes rest to refresh her
self for the dance.
At IL o'clock her maid entered the
room to awaken her, whereupon the
princess asked her to return little
later, and twenty minutes afterward,
when she returned the girl found her
mistress still lying on her bed with
scarcely a muscle of the face changed,
but stone dead, with the mark of
tiny bullet in the region of the heart
The maids shrieks quickly brought
the prince and the whole household to
the room and within ten minutes the
Judicial and police authorities arrived.
1t was clear that no stranger fired the
shot, since the bedroom was situated
on the third floor, and no one had en-
tered the gates of the palace between
the hour of 10 o'clock and midnight.
At length the prince was arrested on
a charge of having murdered his wife
with the little pistol which lay by her
side on the table, and one chamber OF
which was empty, color being lent to
the accusation by the fact that he was
VIGOROUSLY Jealous.
His trial resulted in acquittal, partly
in consequence of an extraordinary
piece of testimony which was produced
in court by one of the police officials
The story he related was this:
A couple of days after the murder
on the removal of the seals from the
doors of the bedroom he had made
careful investigation of the apartment
and had found on the floor by the bed
side one of those enormous night
moths, the bodies of which are almost
as thick as a mans thumb and which
abound in Italy.
He declared that the moths wings
were badly singed, as if it had flown
against the candle that stood on the
table by the bedside.
He produced the moth in court and
then proceeded to point out to the judges
that some of the powder of the in
sect's wings was apparent on the black
ebony and gold stock and trigger OF the
little revolver which had been found
on the table and with which the shoot
ing had been done.
He then called the attention of the
judges and jury to the phenomenal
facility with which the trigger yielded
and advanced the extraordinary argu-
nient that the princess had been muir
dered by the night moth. which, he al
legged, must have flown into the room,
attracted by the candle light, and, fall
ing with singed wings on the table,
had discharged the revolver in the vio-
aence of its contortions.

EDWARD GREEN.

must be fenced in, and if they are not
all cattle that are killed by trains must
be paid for. AS Edward s road was not
fenced his trains were constantly kill
ing cattle, which always had to be paid
for at an exorbitant price. One day Ed
ward saw chance to buy big herd at
a low figure, and he invested. Now his
road owns a big ranch, and when a
farmer brings in bill for damages he
is told to go down to the ranch and pick
out an animal. Mrs. Green thinks that
this showed true genius on her son S part.
Edward has become quite politician
in Dallas, and at the last election was
offered the Republican nomination for
governor. He decided that he didn't
want it then, but he has recently come
to the conclusion that his chances next
time will be better. If he does make the
race, he will have his mothers big fat
pocketbook at his disposal, for She is
sure that he will win, although few
Texans will admit that the Republicans
are numerous enough to elect governor
Of the Lone Star State.
