SHE HATES MEN AND DOGS.
A spinster Farmer shoots ut n Man who At.
tenpts to Cross Her Land.

B~rNGHAMToN, Nov. Miss Augusta Main,
%spinster, runs a farm near the village of New
Berlin. She performs all the work on the place
without any male assistance, and does 1t well.
She has an intense dislike for the male sex in
general. and has as little to do with them as
possible. When she discovers q man on her
premises she drops all work and makes him
skedaddle. II. when ordered away, the man or
men do not hurry she urges them along with a
pitchfork or any other implement that happens
to be handy. As n consequence the men folks
give her plenty of room, and those who are ac-
Quainted with her gentle manners will almost
NO out OF their way rather than cross her land.
Myron Beebe Is n neighbor OF Miss Main, and
for n long time he has. dared to cross her prem
ises to get water from a well. 1t saved him q
long walk and he took the chances. A few days
ago. while Beebe was making the usual short
with n big revolver. and without any parleying
shc opened fire on the man. He ran for dear
life, while the bullets whistled about his cara.
When he got home he found that out of the six
shots fired two had perforated the overalls
which he wore, while another had torn a hole In
the rim Of his hat. The other three bullets
came within such close proximity that their
whistle still rings in his ears. Beebe got out q
warrant for Miss Main, and she was held in
81 1000 bail for the Grand Jury for assault with
Miss Main told the Justice that there were
two things sho hated in this world, and they
were dogs and men. and she added: II never
sec either but what l ache to kill them"

DON'T LIKE "HEAVENsTON."
SgIas Wilard's Suggestion OF . Change In
the Name OF Evanston.

aNth1 u SuBBtbtiou VI - SAAbDO IN
the Name OF Evanston.
CHICAGO. Nov. 7.-When the news was re-
ceived at Evanston from Buffalo that Miss
Frances Z. Willard had suggested that the name
of her home town be changed to "Heavenston"
there were protestations from all sides. Mod
esty. IL nothing else. prevents the assumption
of a celestial title for tho pretty university
town. Miss Wizards friends do not believe she
seriously thought tho namo should be changed,
but that 1t was intended for a delicate compli-
ment to the town which has n curfew law, and
whore liquor can only be had at blind pigs"
1t is said that the title was first applied to
Evanston by an Englishman. The story is that.
having heard OF Miss Willard and "Rest Cot.
tagc," he planned 10 visit the town. When he
came to take the train at the Wells street sta
tion he inquired of the guard:
"Is this the train for 'Heavenstonf"
whereupon the guard promptly replied:
mo. this is the train for Helgin."
The story was told to Miss Willard, and she
has ever since cherished tho beiiof that tho
name "Heavenston" was appropriate.

HEADLEss BODY MYSTERY.
Captain o'Brien Gives Out Story of
Identihcation.

New York, June 30.-Captain Stephen
O'Brien, who is in charge of the detec-
tive bureau, late tonight gave out a
long statement regarding the mysterl-
GUS headless body case. 1t contains
the story of the Identification of the
body as that of Guldensuppe by his
associates at the Murray Hill baths,
Mrs. Pauline Rigers version of the
ria, Long Island, last week, and Mrs
Augusta Nack's confession of her re-
lationship with Guldensuppe since she
parted from her husband. Mrs. Riger
is not positive that the Mack woman
was the purchaser Of the oilcloth and
the prisoner ayers that she saw Gull
densuppe last Saturday morning about
o'clock. After telling about the sale
of the oilcloth Mrs. Riger said:
"I have seen Mrs. Mack and she looks
very much like the woman who pur-
chased the goods from me, but would
not like to swear that she is the same
woman. She has the same colored hair,
about the same size of bust, but she
was not dressed as she Is now The

Mrs. Nack's statement to Captain
O'Brlen is substantially the same as
that published to-day.

of Guldesuppe were found near the
ship Vermont at the Cob dock at the
Brooklyn navy yard to-day by a marine
named Ball, who was on sentry duty
at the dock. The legs were wrapped in

FINAL YOrE NEAR At HIND.
Debate on the Tariff About Over-Senato


Allison's Reciprocity Amendment.
Washington, June 30.-As result Of
the rapid work on the tariff bill to-day,
the close of the long debate in the SEN
ate and the final vote on the bill are
felt to be very near at hand. Two of
the most important provisions, those re-
lating to the Hawaiian treaty of reci-
procity and the duty on coal, were per-
fected to-day, while another source of
much conflict, the reciprocity section,
was matured by the finance committee
and presented to the senate.
Aside from these larger items, great
many minor ones, which have caused
more or less conflict, were disposed Of.
The Hawaiian provision of the house
bill was restored after brief debate and
without the formality of a vote This
has the effect of leaving the Hawaiian
treaty of reciprocity in full force and
effect.
During the day Mr. Turpie spoke in
support Of the amendment for two
per cent. tax on inheritances. His
speech was notable for its picturesque
metaphors and virulence of his denun-
citation of the pending bill.
Mr.. Allison gave notice of new sec
ton of the bill relating to reciprocity
as follows:
Whenever the president of the United
States, with a view to reciprocal trade
with foreign countries shall within two
years enter into commercial treaty or
treaties with any other country or coun-
tries concerning the admission into any
such country or countries of the goods,
wares and merchandise of the United
States and their use and disposition
therein, deemed to be for the interest
of the United States and in such treaty
or treaties in consideration of the ad-
vantage accruing to the United States
therefrom shall provide for the reduc-
ton during a specified period not ex-
ceeding five years of the duties imposed
by this act, to the extent of not more
goods, wares or merchandise as may
be designated therein of the country
or countries with which such treaty or
treaties shall be made as in this Sec
ton provided for, and when any treaty
shall have been duly ratified and pro-
clamation made accordingly then and
thereafter the duties shall be collected
by the United States upon any of the
designated goods, wares and merchan-
disc from the foreign country with
which such treaty has been made shall,
during the period provided for, be the
duties specified and provided for In such
treaty and none other.
The reciprocity amendment went over
at Mr.. Allison's request.
