THE WRONG MAN.
"Snow BaI' Mistaken For a Rapist I'm
til His Innocence is Established.

'tSnow Ball" Mistaken For Rapist IN
til His Innocence is Established.
All efforts to capture the negro
who brutally assaulted Mrs.
Mary Meleske, in the vicinity of
Stone Thursday evening, have
SO far proved futile and it now
seems more than probable that
his escape has been made good.
Nevertheless the officers have
their eyes open and several drag
nets have been set in which he
may yet become enmeshed.
The officers thought they had
the right man Saturday afternoon
when at about two o'clock Depu-
ty Sheriff league arrested a
young negro whose description
tailed very accurately with that
of the man so badly wanted. The
lad arrested was quietly looking
around the city when the officer
nabbed him, and did not show
any 'white feathers" when told
that he was under arrest.
The aged victim of the assault
was sent for to identify the sus-
pect. This she failed to do. In
fact was positive he was not the
one. The resemblance suited re-
markedly well, except that
the suspect was the least
bit smaller than her assail-
ant, and wore different style of
hat.
'Snow Ball. was therefore al
lowed to go in peace, to his great
qualification.

Astrology for December.
zadkiel, the London astrologe

\ Zadkiel, the London astrologer.
thus forecasts December, 1897:
Spain now draws the attention
of the world, for the three malefic
planets, Mars, Saturn and
Uranus, are ruling her destinies
by their presence in her ruling
sign Sagittarius. Her proud peo-
pie are the sport of the fates, and
her ancient power has its luster
sadly dimmed by its loss of ter
ritory and prestige. Sic transit
gloria mundi. Spain, however,
is not the only European power
under a cloud, for the stars in
their course are fighting against
Russia, Turkey and Austria
Hungary. France has her share
of troubles at home and abroad,
and Italy finds national bank
ruptcy difficult to. avoid. Prus-
STA finds her enemies bold and
persistent. The United States
have their anxieties, and are con-
cordant and overexcited. In In
dia, questions of education and
religion cause great excitement.
The conjunction of Venus with
Satura brings troubles on women
who were born about the 26th Of
November, and they are warned
to act prudently in all affairs.
The 18th and 21st are unfortunate
birthday anniversaries, affecting
either health or financial matters.
The Both brings disputes at law,
heavy expenses or failures of
health. The best anniversaries,
this month, are the Sd, 18th and
26th instant. Jupiter benefits
those who were born on or about
the 29th of September, or when
the moon held the eighth degree
of the sign Libra, bringing new
friends, favors, presents and i'm
proved health. Young ladies
whose birthday anniversary falls
at the end of the month, receive
offers of marriage, albeit some
will find that the course of true
love seldom runs smoothly.

IT is the athlete who wins the
favor of women in France, says
a French writer, rather than the
man of means. So here; but
while our Sullivans and Corbetts
win women with the greatest
ease, they set them aside with
equal rapidity. They are tickle
charmers. They are by no means
the noble fellows they should be
to warrant the affections so eff
fusively thrown at them.
