That Her Lamp Was Out.
They were on tandem, and q straight,

There was darkness all about, thick, inn

among the trees and betrayed TIE fact that
the authorities had neglected the electric
lights, counting on IA moon that had failed
to keep her engagements.
But they did not mind the darkness In
fact, they rather sought out the more shad
owy portions. For there is something
about q tandem, If 1t steers easily, which
softens the iron bound laws of custom.

BASEBALL FOR GIRLS.
Tho Philadelphia Fad May Encompass tho
Whole Country.


Philadelphia boasts another type of
the athletically emancipated female
the girl baseball player. She is found
where you would least think of looking
for her-behind the high walls of a
high class private school. Who would
think that the demure faced maidens
who walk to and from the most secluded
and conservative of schools understood
anything about catching flies, " "tip-
ping foul" or making three bag
ger?" But so it is In the Quaker City
picked mines from the various converts
play the national game and play it well.
and this in face of the masculine COM
ment that no woman can strike hard
enough to make second base.
Basket ball is the thin end of the
wedge undoubtedly Once the girls get
rid of the idea that competitive sports
are unwomanly and they may take up
anything-even football.
Great advantages are claimed for
baseball over basket ball In the first
place, the former is game of skill.
The eye is trained to follow the ball
and calculate distances, the running
strength is greatly increased, and the
muscles of the arm called into play, tC
say nothing of the hardening of delicate
palms and finger tips by frequent contact
with the bulletlike proclivities of the
ball.
The fair Philadelphians are enthusi.
astic over the game and defy male crit
icism. English women have mastered
cricket. Why should not American
women master baseball?-Exchange,

funny to think of raising turpentine on

fact pine forests, in which it takes
about a generation to grow the crop
and season or so to gather it. Until
within few years the most of our
turpentine and rosin-or naval stores,
as they are called-came from North
and South Carolina. Now the forests
of those states have been Quilted, and
the turpentine farmers have come

at work throughout the forest regions
of Georgia. l saw their distilleries dur

A TURPENTINE DISTILLERY.
But let us. follow the juice of the pine
tree and see how 1t is turned into rosin
and turpentine. AS it comes from the
tree it is of a waxy crystalline nature.
The question is to get the turpentine
out of it. 1t will take eight barrels
of this mixture to furnish about two
barrels OF the spirits of turpentine, and
what remains will be rosin. The tlIr-
pentine is gotten out in much the same
way that whisky is made. The distfl-
lery consists of rude sheds knocked up
in the forest at distance not far from
the railroad. The sap is first emptied
into a great kettle for boiling. which
is set into a brick furnace. From this
pipes run out at the top and on into
a coil or worm. These pipes are to
carry out the turpentine vapor. The sap
is mixed with water. As the fire heats
it a vapor rises and goes off into the
pipes. The pipes are SO arranged that
water flows over them. and as the va
and is turned back into liquid again.
The boiling is continued until what re-
mains in the kettle has grown as thick
as moiaSSeS and quite as brown as the
cheapest of the New Orleans variety.
This is taken out and put into barrels.

TURK MAY NOT PAY.
No Formal Assurance of Such In
tention Given

WASHINGTON, Dec 5.-The state
department as yet as has had no
formal assurance that the Turkish
government is about to pay the in
IDENTITIES demanded on account of the
injuries sustained by American mis-
sion property in Armenia, as intimated
in cable reports, but expects payment
when Turkeys finances are easier
Touching the story coming from Lon
don that the Turkish government has
decided to ignore all claims for indem-
nifty for massacres, save those Of Amer
lean origin, attention is directed to
the fact that not single American
citizen has been killed in all the Ar
menian troubles. The only claim for
indemnity, aside from those based on
mission property, which have been pre-
ferfed by our government is on ac-
count of the killing of the Bicyclist
LEM, by Kurds, which was in no way
connected with the Armenian riots

 The murderer then went on to re- late how he had hid in a. sage field and saw people searching for him pass by; how he went to Star City and returned; how he was captured by Winters and then escaped; how he came GO Pine Bluff and spent a night and a day here; how he crossed the river and went to Sherrill and his final capture.
 He talks perfectly rational and does not in the least deserve the name of "Grazy Jim.'
 Poor Lawrence Williams s head was crushed in thirteen places, his throat was cut from ear to ear, but not deep enough to reach a vital spot, and he lived fivehours after receiving his terrible wounds. When he was carried home physician raised the crushed bones from his brain, when he slightly revived and in a voice of anguish exclaimed:

A STRONG LEGAL FIGHT
Saved John McHaslsell from Going 10 the Penitentiary for Larceny After
 Being Convicted.

Attorney s. NJ. Taytor has just won another hard legal fight, which saved his client from going to the penitentiary after he was convicted in the Circuit Court and the Supreme Court had affirmed the decision of the lower court.
 The case is one of considerable in- therest.
 Jake MeHaskel is a negro who was charged with stealing a COW. He was tried before the Jefferson Circuit Court and sentenced to one year in the penitentiary.
 His attorney. the Hon. $. M Fay lor, appealed the ease to the Stu preme Court. In that court the de- csion of the lower court was affirm ed, but it was held by a majority of the judges of the Supreme Court that the evidence against MeHaskell was very weak; but under the rulings established by the court, where there was any evidence, legally sufficient, tending to ineriminate the defend ant. the decision Of the lower court would not be disputed The major ity of the Supreme Court Judges held that there was some evidence, legally sufficient, tending to show McHaskell's guilt. Associate Judge Riddck dissen ted, and held that there was not scintila of evidence on which to convict.
 After the decision on the case ren- dered by the Supreme Court, Attor- ney Taylor secured u writ of super cedeas, and continued to keep his client ill Pine Bluff and out of the penitentiary. He then carried the case of his client before the Gov crnor, who, after conferring with judges of the Supreme Court, and re- viewing the evidence in the case on yesterday. granted McHaskena full aud unqualified pardon.
 This figh tmade by Attorney Fay Tor to keep McHaskell from the peui- tentiary was one of the hardest he ever made, and it is extremely grati- lying to him to be able to say that he succeeded in his efforts.

A VERDICT FOR THE STATE.
The Hard tuel, Experience by an Ex-saloon


 This morning ''Red" Styles has another 'hard luck" story. Last winter while Styles was proprietor of the Lodge Saloon, a woman of ill repute passed up stairs to bed room over his saloon and ordered drinks. The bartender filled the order. 4 little later the woman came out Of the bed room and en- tered q gambling resort over the saloon, when the proprietor of the gambling hoase attempted to eject her. X row was the result, and it is said the woman, who is very muscular, got the best of the gam bier. i policeman came along and arrested both the woman and Mir Styles. The latter was fined $25 in the Police Court on the charge of all lowing a lewd woman to enrer his place of business and serving her with drinks. Through his attorney, Mr Styles appealed the case to the Circuit Court.
 Yesterday, when the ease was called for trial, Mir Styles had an op- portunity to compromise the ease by paying fineoi $5, but on the advice of his attorney, he demanded jury trial. He got it, and the jury re- turned a verdict fining him $10 and costs. The costs amount to about $40. Mr. Styles says in the future he will never have anything to dc with either lawyers, iuties, or courts.
