A DEPLoRABLE tragedy was enacted on
the streets of Hot Springs Saturday,
when Mayor w. w, Waters killed H.
H. Martin. 1t appears that Martin,
who was hotel drummer, had abused
the mayor previous to the difficulty
which cost Martin his life, but the
mayor walked away from him. Martin
followed him and renewed his abuse,
and. it is said, assaulted Waters, when
the latter cut Martin $ throat with a
pocket knife, seyering the jugular vein.
Martin lived about Is minutes, but
made no statement before he died.

Hidden nv Their Colors.

To understand the value of what
scientific men call protective celebration
In animals, one need only look at the
common ruffled grouse, or partridge,
of North America, and consider how
hard 1t Is to see him in the woods,
even where nothing intervenes to hide
him from view. His colors agree so
we'll with the background against
which he stands that the eye is slow
to make him out, Mr.. Gregory, in his
recent volume OF African travel, "The
Great Rift Valley" mentions several
striking instances Of animals thus pro-
tected, among which that Of certain
monkey, Colobus occidentalis, Is per-
haps the most peculiar. This monkey
is covered with long, silky fur ar
ranged In alternate stripes of black and
white, so handsome that the skin is
much priced by the natives for making
head ornaments. The contrast Of black
and white is so marked that at first
sight 1t would seem to preclude con-
cealment, but It's value is at once evil
dent when the animal Is seen at home.
It lives in high forests, where the trees
have black trunks and branches. draped
with long gray masses of beard-moss
or llchen. AS the monkeys hang from
the branches they resemble the llchen
30 closely that Mr.. Gregory found 1t
impossible to recognize them, even at
q short distance.

China has thrown down the gaunt-
let to the big coal miners OF the Pa

States, for that matter, says the San

bark Colorado, which arrived in port

OF anthracite and manufactured coal,
mined and made In the Tonquin dis.
trict. 1t was consigned to coal-deal-

In the market to stay, 1t is said, at least
as long as present tariff conditions ex-
list. So Ear as the trade on this coast
is concerned, the new coal threatens to
deliver the same body blow to Welsh
anthracite that the latter did to the
New South Wales coal some years ago
or that the New South Wales coal pre-
viously delivered to the bltuminous

Tonquin war, has been under the con"
troll Of the French, and 1t is French
capital that is now developing It's
mines, but the land is still populated
by the Chinese, as before, and 1t is the
cheap Chinese labor that is employed
In the mines; hence the extremely low
cost OF production, which enables the
French owners of the TOnquin mines
to undersell the coal producers of other
countries, where labor is better paid.
The amount Of Chinese coal brought by
the bark Colorado was not great, but
heavy cargo after cargo win begin to
come as soon as 1t Is coaxed by de-
mand. The coal from the orient 10
said to be of the finest quality, fully
equal to the best Pennsylvania or
Welsh coal. A clean range grade OF the
Pennsylvania and Welsh anthracite

pitchy substance and compressed into

A romantic marriage planned by
Carl SQuier and Miss Ora Balm, prom.
inent young society couple Of Calhoun
County, ILL.,, has been nipped in the
bud by the prospective groom's par
ents, who oppose the union. Owing
to his being under age young Squler
was unable to secure a license in his
county, but succeeded in procuring one
in Missouri. He had as he thought
perfected every arrangement for the
happy event at Winfield, when to his
dismay the proceedings were abruptly
stopped by the sheriff Of Calhoun Coun-
ty, who had been summoned to stop
the wedding by his irate parents.
Young SQuler declares he will succeed
better next time.
