Tar and Feathers.

"There is a general impression, in this
country at least. that the institution
known as tar and feathers is dslinctivelv
American. Nothing could b. further from
the mark" observed Judge Riley, of the
Virginia bar. 'The fact is, what we un-
derstand to be q coating of tar and feathers
is of ancient origin. There is also an idea
afoat that tar and feathers is a sort of
Southern celebration, that it was inve ted
there, and that it is of common occur
renee in that section of our loved country.
/ assure you that both these ideas are
wrong all the way through. In the first
place, while there is plenty of tar in the
South the stock of feathers is not so large
And again, they are too valuable to use in
such way.
where person deserves such treat
ment it is much easier and better to give
him thorough cowhiding. A cowhiding
sticks as we'll as coating of tar, if prop
erly applied. Tar and feathers origina ted
in the days of Richard C6eur de Lion, over
800 years ago, as is evidenced by one of
his ordinances for seamen, as follows
That if any man Is taken with theft or
pickery, and thereof convicted, he shall
have his head polled and hot pitch poured
upon his pate, and upon that the feathers
of some pillow or cushion shaken aloft
that he may be known for thief"

FATALLY SHOT
I IN A SALOON
Dave Fauss Fires Three
Bullets Into Joseph
Manning.
The Wounded Man Said the
Trouble Was Over a Woman
Named Sophie Smith.
So Quietly and Quickly Was the Deed
Done That Fauss Succeeded in
Making His Escape.

Joseph Manning, an ex-baseball player,
SO wears of age, was shot three times and
fatally wounded in Henry Hoffman's
saloon, liz Fourth street, last evening.
Manning and a companion were seated
at table in the saloon playing friendly
game of cards about o'clock and several
men were standing at the bar. Manning
was sitting facing The entrance.
The people in the place were startled by
hearing three shots fired in rapid success
sion and on wheeling around saw Manning
D.. with a groan fall to the floor. Manning's
companion was standing with q edazed
look on his face, and simultaneously all
h ands ran out of the saloon to look for the
4 an who had fired the shots, but he had
dtsappeared as if the earth had swallowed
him up.
The only man who saw the would be
murderer was a man who does odd jobs
around the saloon. He saw q short man
with revolver in his hand running out
of the saloon. Neither of the bartenders
=: saw him enter or leave the saloon, nor
any of the customers at the bar; at least,
according TO their statement. They &C.
counted for it by saying that they were too
D.. much taken by surprise and did not turn
QUICK 0uOuSug nOb 1OI n
moment that the shots had been fired in
the saloon.
The Southern police station was noti-
fed and Policemen T. L. Ryan and Ed
O'Dea were promptly detailed on the case
+: and commenced a vigorous search for the
shooter.
Manning was taken to the Receiving
Hospital in the ambulance and DR.. Bun
nell found that the three bullets had
. entered the rig hit breast, each about an
inch and half apart. Each went clear
through his body, piercing the right lung,
. and DR.. Bunnen expressed the opinion
that the wounds would prove fatal.
Manning at first said he did not know
who fired the shots, but later, in making
an ante-mortem statement to Corporal
ellis, he said the man was Dave Fauss
and The trouble was over a woman named
Sophie Smith. Monday night he and
Fauss had q tight over the woman and
Fauss, who is older and smaller than Man
ming, threatened to get even," as he got
the worst of the fight.
Manning, Fauss and Sophie Smith lived
at $40 Mission street, and each man was
jealous of the others attentions to her.
Fauss in 1887 was short-stop of the Iowa
baseball team, when Manning took his
place. 1t is said that Fauss has borne
grudge against Manning since then, be-
ieving that he intrigued to succeed him,
and that had as much to do with the
shooting last evening as the woman
Smith.
Manning died about 10 P. N.

IN oHILDHoOD's REALM.
- Charming Christmas Festival in the
Howard Pres yterian Church.

- Charming Christmas Festival in the
Howard Presbyterian Church.
The Christmas festival of the Howard
Presbyterian Church, on Oak and Baker
. streets, held last evening, was decidedly
different from the usual order of church
festivals. The elements of novelty, new.
ness, originality and snap constituted the
prevailing spirit of the evening. 1t was
the first Christmas celebration since the
church was moved to the panhandle dis
trict and the building was filed even to
the choir galleries on each end. Those
who had arranged the festival caused their
enthusiasm to be spread to the large
gathering.
1t was strictly children's occasion. In
fact there were no old people there.
The evening was opened with music,
followed by a prayer by the pastor, Rev.
f. r. Farrand, and addresses by the pas
tor and J. P. Pullman, the superintendent
of the Sabbath-school. Then came the
event of the evening, Christmas canJata,
1.-THE Enchanted Castle" and for an hour
or more the gathering was away in dream
land. Arabian Nights, fairies, brownies,
ETC., were the uppermost features.
There was large platform beautifully
decorated, on one corner of which stood q
gorgeous Christmas tree. The first scene
was that of two little ones asleep in their
!trundle- bed. These were little Arthur
and Fred Burlingame. Near by was a
deep fireplace, with stockings hanging on
the mantel. Santa Claus, personated by
: Rudolph e. A. Isenbruck appears and
=: fills the stockings. His hand passes over
the heads of the slumbering youngsters,
and they dream.
Their dream on the programme is scene
q Fairies and brownies appear in cos
TUNES white, spaagled, gauzy and unique.
They sing, and their songs are those OF
oIden DAYS. For time the Fairy Queen
(Miss Ruby Moore), Aladdin (Carl Holden
;feIdt). Sfnbad the Sailor (Rollin Harris)
and their followers hold sway. Santa
Claus appears and complains that his
3 sleigh loaded with presents broke down.
He calls upon Aladdin to help HIM out OF
ibis trouble. Aladdin rubs his wonderful
=. lamp and the enchanted castle appears III
the background, every brick of which is a
box of fine candy for the children.
=. Santa Claus sets to work to tear down
the castle. which III a short time was in
the possession of the Sabbath-school
children, some 400 in number.
-. All OF this was accomplished with vari-
eoIored calcium light effects and vocal and
m strumental music. upon MISS fearl
Noble and Mrs. J. T. Mcdonald fell the
task of arranging for the entertainment
The former provided an orchestra of III
teen pieces and Mrs. Mcdonald was kept
busy drilling the fairies and brownies for
their respective parts.
These were re presented by Fern Croker,
GLADYS Platt, Vivienne Urrv, Jennie
Ewing. Mad Bert, Ethel Lucy, Fay
Hubbard, Florie James, Helen Darling,
adelaide Bogarde, Hazel McCord. Mabel
Butler, lydia Walkup, Alice, Mckay,
Robert Clyde. Albert McCord, Arthur
Balloran, John Dodge, George James,
Rolin Harris and Arthur and Fred Bur
lingame.
Il was an occasion not soon to be forgot
