and followed it up closely, with the re-
suit that on Monday night they came
upon the camp of the murderer on Big
Creek, about six miles above Grove
land. Here four pack animals were
found unsaddled, and the suspected
party, in company with a travelling ped
dler, was taking things easy.
After the officers had talked with the
man for some time he was told to con-
slider himself under arrest for murder,
on which he turned CHASTITY pale, and
great beads of p1espiration poured down
his face. The prisoner, whose name is

Hiram Burton, an Addicks district
delegate from Sussex County, and one
of the oldest Republicans in the State,
made a protest against the stain that
had been put upon his reputation in
this contest by Ex-senator Higgins,
who since his boyhood had been his
close friend.
Mr.. Wilson, the retiring National

the committee that in his own town

were not more than twenty of the ma

outright or promises of position.

ber of the committee. Addicks said he
had lived in Delaware for nineteen
years, and had voted for Abraham
Lincoln and every Republican candi-
date for the Presidency since.
Ex-senator Higgins closed for the
contestants. Replying to DR.. Burton,
who himself came within a vote of
being elected a United States Senator,
Mr.. Higgins declared with his hand up
on his heart that no matter how long
some of those on the other side had
been his friends. no matter how close
they had been together, when they al
lied themselves with Addicks when
they indorsed his crimes, he and they
parted company.
At 10:40 the contestees and contest
ants retired, and the committee went
into executive session.
The resolution to seat the Addicks
delegation was defeated-20 ayes, 20

The committee then voted on the
question of seating the Higgins delega-

the past two months.
A battery with full field equipment

on the request of the Mayor of Astoria,
through the County Judge of Ciatsop

boat in readiness for instant departure.
Brigadier-General Beebe, who is now

Feminine Beauty.

Men are forever talking about pretty
women, as If prettiness were the sole
thing that could makethe sex endurable.
AS their talk Is not confined to age,
race or condition, it might be supposed
to be the voice of nature, though it is
really the voice Of misunderstanding.
If men were only drawn to women by
their prettiness, as they would put it,
most of us would live and die in cell
bacy; for, gallantry aside, feminine
comeliness or good looks are the excep-
ton, not the rule.
All the talk about pretty women is
meaningless and q sham. That men
are drawn to women, as women are to
men, Is one Of the first things that we
learn from within. Old as time, the
fact is always fresh to every genera
ton. But that woman's particular ap-
pearance constitutes any part Of the
phenomenon Is absurd. If she be not
deformed or insane, she is well enough,
and will achieve her incarnation, what
ever it be. Apart from any and all seri-
Gus relation to her, the circumstances
that she Is fair or dark, short or tall,
thin or plump, bIue-eyed or black,
makes not a whit of difference to us.
We like or dislike her Independently OF
her looks. We may think of these in
the beginning; but If we incline to her
we forget all about them, and cannot
remember what we thought of them at
first.
A woman, unless in her school days,
never pirates Of handsome men. No
more should we Of pretty women, whose
prettiness never counts after casual ac-
quaintance Is over. 1t is mere man and
woman, outside Of accidents of exter-
nality, that grow into friends, or lovers,
or companions for life, as circumstances
may direct, all under natures invisible,
inscrutable guidance.-San Francisco

How to Hang Pictures.

An artist being asked for a simple
rule for hanging pictures, gave the fol-
lowing directions: "The height, size
and decoration of the room should be
taken into account. but 1t is best, where
only one row of pictures is hung, to
have the central point in each on level
with the eye of the ordinary person.
For instance, in vignette portrait the
central point Is the chin. You can make
no mistake about the point in any pic
ture, for the eye involuntarily rests
upon it at the first glance. That re-
minds me to speak of a frequent error
on the part of trainers who lack artistic
knowledge. This central point should
be at the exact intersection of two dag
onal lines drawn from the corners Of
the frame, not the mat. Many pictures
appear to those who know this rule as

A Valuable Object Lesson.

At a recent American Institute fair at
New York City, the State Experiment
Station made an extensive display of
fruit, grown on the station grounds.
There were 225 varieties Of apples, each
specimen having been selected as typic-
al in shape, size, color, marking and
general characteristics of the variety
represented. The fruit was the result
Of the highest knowledge of culture and
care and treatment known to the bust
ness. The collection was an object les
son in fruit lore of unmeasured value
to those In search OF knowledge in this
special direction. This station is doing
a double service in thus giving to the
public exhibits of their work; first in
testing the varieties and showing their
merits, and second In giving an object
lesson Of their type and characteristics.

Still Believed In.

In some parts of the southwest of
England curious superstition is said to
prevail. A hair is taken from a maid
EMS head and passed through wedding
ring. The ends are then held by the
girl with her first finger and thumb,
and the ring suspended little way
from the top of half-filled tumbler Of
water. The hand is held perfectly still,
but the ring is presently seen to oscil-
late to such an extent that it chinks
against the sides of the tumbler. The
number of chinks is said to correspond
with the years which will elapse before
the girl Is married.
