Tried to Kill Him.

Ex-United States Senator J. D. Nc
Pherson: of New Jersey, who spent
several weeks at the Pierson in this
city last winter, came near being muir
dered Monday last in New York. A
man named William Nonaken attempt
ed to shoot him, but was prevented
from doing so by Edward f. Lowe. An
accomplish of Vonaken escaped. Won
AIKEN, who is partially blind, was ar
rested.
Nonaken and Mcpherson are inter-
ested il Il suit over the Belle Meade
stock farm in New Jersey. Lowe heard
Mcpherson tell Nonaken that he could
say nothing about the suit and must
refer him 10 his lawyer. The angry
man then tried to kill the ex-senator.
Lowe caught Vonaken's arm, as the
half blind man had a revolver almost
against McFherson's heart. McPher-
son, who is an invalid, said he had
never seen Vonaken or his companion
before.

Prof. DrummOnd.

In an article on the late Prof. Henry
Drummond, by Ian Maclaren, in the
May number of the North American
Review, the following passage occurs,
which is of special interest, as bearing
upon the recent trial Of Ian Maclaren
by the synod of the English Presbyte-
riau church: when one saw the IN
ique and priceless work which he
(Drummond) did, it was inexpicable
that the religious world should have
cast this man, of all others, out, and
lift up its voice against him. Had re-
ligion so many men Of beautiful and
winning life, so many thinkers of wide
range and genuine culture, so many
speakers who could move young men
by hundreds toward the kingdom of
God, that she could afford or have the
heart to withdraw her confidence from
Drummond? Was there ever such
madness and irony before heaven as
good people lifting up their testi mony
and writing articles against the most
gracious disciple of the master, because
they did rot agree with him about GER
tain things he said or some theory he
did teach, while the world lay around
them in unbelief and selishness and
sorrow and pain?'

Interesting Discovery.

Prospectors in the Patrio mountains
made an inter esting discovery the other
day. They struck 30 feet cave in an
obscure location which had evidently
not been disturbed for perhaps several
centuries. The party after much delv-
ing found underneath layers of truck,
grease wood and other things, bun
die of Indian arrows and remains OF
Aztec pottery. The arrows were ev-
identity made before the Indians knew
how to head their arrows with spikes:
and the sticks had been preserved by
soaking them in some sort of grease.
The pottery appears to be OF
the most ancient character and speci-
mems of rich copper and manganese
ore were discovered which suggested
that the aborigines had been in local
miner mining.

The party of relic hunters con-

Wallace, Joe Fahriop, Pearl Locke,
Oliver Jackson, Polk Vaughn and Mr.
Noble, returned from the Chaca ruins
yesterday. None Of them appear the

while absent presum ably from breath
ing the fine and evidently poisonous
dust which fills the air of the apart

narrow escapes from rattlesnake bites,
but fortunately there was no call to
draw on the jug of infallible antidote
which was taken along.
A valuable collection consisting OF
two wagon loads of pottery, skeletons,
turquois ard shell beads, etc, was Sc.
cured, and Prof. Morehouse feels well
repaid for the labor and expense oil
the trip.
Among the most priced finds were
feather mat in excellent state OF
preservation which enveloped skele-
ton, and very finely woven blanket.
but piece of which would bear hand
ling, found around the neck of another
skeleton. On this blanket painted in
bright red was picture of the sun,
showing that the prehistoric inhabi-

Interesting Discovery.

United States Consul Kirk of Copen-

ment of state, giving description of
an interesting discovery in the ply
sioloey of plants, made by Johaunsen,
of the agricultural high school of
Copenhagen. The discovery is that
plants are susceptible to the influences
of ether or chloroform but, in their
case, the effect is to awaken them in
stead of putting thsm to sleep as
would be the result with human beings.
Also the plants are made to grow with
great rapidity, in or out of season., a fact
of the greatest Importance TO gadners

CHATTANOOGA stands as shining
light to all American municipalities.
Oct. /, 1898 the city had a floating debt
of $50, 900, with no outlook for paying
it, except resort to increased taxation.
Tne city authorities adopted the
method of retrenchme ut instead of in
creased taxation. Headed by the
mayor, they wrought so wisely and
well that in two years they brought
this debt down to $1,000. They not
only did not increase the tax rate
meantime, but actually reduced it.
This story teaches that our city fathers
can do likewise if they are as honest
and shrewd as those of Chattanooga.
