THE LYNCHING.

TIE NraRoE. MUM.

Yesterday morning constant stream
Of humanity poured back and forth be.
tween the city and the place where the
three negroes, Whitehead, johnson and
Reddick, were hung Wednesday night.
The local photographer went out and
secured two splendid views OF the
CHASTITY oorpses dangling from the
limbs Of large oak tree-a scene
which gave a fearful lesson OF the swift
and terrible relribution which over
takes the fiend In human form who
places himself outside the pale OF hui
man sympathy and must take the con-
sequences Of his own acts when the In.
dignant and outraged people cry out
for yengence.
Justice Charles 5. Gamer and County
Attorney A. G.. Board went out early In
the morning. The former viewed the
bodies aud rendered verdict In each
case a. ollows: death caused by
strangulaiion hung with a rope by a
mob Of 800 unknown parties" The
bodies were then cut down, hauled into
town and laid out on the grass In the
Jail yard In the shadow Of the building.
Here hundreds Of curl us people view
ia the bodies, while graves and collins
we're being prepared, and pictures q
he jail and crowd were taken The
negroes were all buried Yesterday.
The perfect, systematic aud deliber-
ate manner In which the mob carried
out their program VAS the subject Of
much comment on the streets here
yesterday. They had provided a sledge
hammer and a blacksmiih's cleayer for
forcing the locks, which yielded to their
ringing blows Immediately. These
tools were left behind, and formed an
interesting part OF the exhibit at the
county bastile yesterday. The negroes
were quickly secured ard the party
proceeded without haste out Of town.
Arriving at their destination fire was

roo,na,, PLAYED at Home.

A friend Of mine who recently re-
turned from England brought back
with him a very interesting little game
which he calls football at home. 1t
is very simple, though highly exciting.
and has the advantage over many 9TH
or games that the necessaries for 1T are
within the reach of all, the poor as well
as the rich. The only apparatus required
consists Of an ordinary covered table,
four tumblers and an empty eggshell.
The table is the field and the shell the
ball.
ANY number of players can take part,
though the best number is five on
side. The two captains kneel, one at
the head of the table by the right hand
corner and the other at the foot by the
left hand corner. The players line up
ON their knees by the sides of the table
At each end of the field, and foot or
so from the edge, are placed n couple OF
tumblers or anything else that would
serve for goal posts, and across the top
is stretched a strip of paper or ribbon.
Everything being ready, the eggshell
is placed in the center Of the table and
put into play by both captains blowing
at it. When it is fairly going, the other
players tackle it with their whistling
apparatus, and each side endeavors to
blow the ball through the others goal
| The rapid succession OF tangents
| which the shell takes under this treat
ment causes great fun, and the game
soon wakes very exciting. If the ball Il
blown through goal, it scores touch
down, which counts four points for TN
victorious side. The captain OF this sid
then takes the ball back to the OPPOSITE
goal and blows it across the table, hi
object being to pass it through the sam
goal again. If he succeeds in this,
counts two points more for his side.
Thirty minutes is the time limit o
the game, and mt the expiration OF TN
first 10 minutes the two teams exchang
positions. The writer has tried TIN
game and found it extremely amusing

Girl Friends.

Every girl should have friend OF
her own sex and nearly of her own age.
By friend is not meant an acquaintance
or even a companion, but girl to
whom she can tell her pleasures and her
troubles, whom she can trust, whom
she can love so much that she would be
willing to sacrifice time, money and, in
the hyperbolic language of school life,
"everything. Such friendships often
last a lifetime, and, as those who have
had such good fortune will tell you-
"old friends are the best" But friend
shin such as this demands natures
which are willing to try to conquer lit
tleness and selfishness. No friendship
can last long where one has to do all
the giving up Yet it is better to give
i'm many times than never to have a
friend. As you grow older you will
realize that there are not many things
about which it is worth while quarrel

A Mxstery of the Mails.

In the mail delivered at his West
Philadelphia residence the other day
William May, the well known ship
chandler, discovered most remarkahie
document 1t was an invitation to MS
own wedding, which occurred i'll 1851
and where the missive has been during
the intervening 20 years is matter OF
no little mystery. 1t was addressed to a
friend of former years, who then resided
at 1888 Wharton street Considering It's
age, the envelope is in very good state
of preservation, although completely
covered with hieroglyphics added by
postal officials. The invitation caro-
while yellow with age, gives little evi'
dence of its 30 years of strange exis'
euce. -Philadelphia Ledger.

The Houghton Fourth OF July commit
tee made an effort to get the Hancock
people to this year call their celebration
off with the understanding that next
year Houghton would not celebrate, but
they did not succeed. and there will be
two celebrations the same as last year.
That there can be two big celebrations
on Portage Lake was demonstrated last
year, and from the preparations going
on they will be surpassed this year. The
Houghton committee reports over $500
raised. The Red Jacket band has been
engaged and a balloon ascension, with a
parachute race between a man ana
woman, contracted for. The Quincy
band has been engaged by the Hancock
committee. and it is safe to say that an
interesting lot OF street sports will be ar
ranged. These will undoubtedly include
hose race between the old rivals, the
Hancock and Quincy teams. other
novel features will be added to the day q
program. The Houghton committee has
decided to dispense this year with the
calithumpian feature.

the edge of knife or on the rim Of
glass, no matter whether you put 1T
sideways or endways.
The only precaution necessary is to
tap the egg gently every time you de-
sire to place it in any position, so as to
make the sand settle at the bottom, and
the weight Of the sand will keep it as
Won wish il TO be. This is called the
obedient egg.
Now let us tell you how to make the
disobediept egg, with which you may
have even more fun than with the obe-
dent one. Make the hole in the shell
large enough TO allow you to introduce
half an ounce of fine shot, together
with a little powdered sealing wax.
This done, seal up the hole neatly
with white wax, and then warm the
egg gently over the fire. This will give
YOU a fixed center Of gravity in the egg,
and no matter how you may pretend to
place it the weight of the shot, held in
a mass by the sealing wax, will drag II

Late News.

The committee OF the Hancock Bust
ness Mems Association and the resident
members Of the Finnish Lutheran synod
visited several proposed sites for the edu-
cational institution yesterday morning.
The first Is the level spot between the
cemeteries and the lake, the second be-
tween the cemeteries and the water
works, and the third the fifty acres above
Anthony's farm belonging to the village.
Both the first mentioned pieces have a
lake frontage, an advantage which 10
greatly to the mind OF the Finnish CON-
mittee. The third site has fifty acrs OF
woodland, and as 1t is already owned by
the village, very liberal offer can be
made. The site between the cemetery
and the lake is, perhaps, the most desir-
able. 1t is nearest to town, is level and
on the lake. IL is owned by the Quincy,
and a committee has been appointed to
see Capt. Harris and learn what can be
done towards acquiring it. The gentle
men in charge OF locating this college are
very much in favor OF locating it in Han
cock, and other things being nearly equal
this town will be given the preference
The matter Of the site to be offered will
be further considered at a meeting at the
engine house, next Monday evening, and
at this meeting every business mar
should try and be present.

ARzoNAs MOUNTAIN PUZZLE.
ss IL = Hole Through An inaccessible Peak
or Only q Natural Mirrorf

" V"'y y Shtufhi mtrrOrf
For che last half century the Ameri.
can residents Of Tucson, A. T., have
been trying 10 solve mystery in the
shape OF what appears 10 be a hole
through mountain peak in plain sight
from the town In the rarefied air il
looks 10 be only a short distance away,
when III reality IL is at least 40 miles.
The earliest residents noticed the phe-
nomenon, and the only difficulty that lay
in the way Of finding out just what il was
was the fact that IL was inaccessible,
and when they came anywhere near the
spot the hole disappeared from sight.
In fact il can only be seen from within
few miles Of Tucson, and this has led
many people to believe that it is not a
hole at all.
By the aid of good marine telescope
the mountain can be brought TO within
a few miles, but not near enough to tell
the exact nature of the rock formation.
An astronomical telescope cannot be TO-
cused on il, as the mountain is too near.
A first peep through the glass would
lead one TO believe that there was no
mystery about it. The hole appears as
plain as possible, but several days,study
Of the spot will develop the fact that
the hole does not always look the
same. Many days when the sky is dark
behind the mountain the hole will APP
pear a brilliant white, like snowdrift.
and on days when the sky is blue it will
| often look SO dark as to be almost in.
| visible. These facts have led many &c
think that it is an immense piece OF
mica lying with its polished surface to-
ward the sky and rejecting the cloud
formations Of another part Of the hori
ION instead Of being the light seer
through hole Viewed with the naket
eye the hole simply appears as whit
spot, but the telescope reveals pine tree
and other details, although very indis
tinctly.
The range Of mountains in which tn
strange peak can be seen is known a
the Catalinas, and numerous partie
have made the attempt to climb 1t, bu
all have failed on account Of the stee
and rugged precipices in the vicinity
The peak is high one and can be see
from any point in the journey towar
it, but when ten miles out of Tucson tn
hole can no longer be seen, even wit
the aid of glass This can be explain
ed on the mica theory, as surface {
