ENGLAND's TELEGRAPH.
1t II Growing Mt the Expense of the
Postal Service-Rates Are
Very Low.

In England, as Is generally known, the
government manages the telegraph sys-
tenn in connection with the postal service.
but that the latter is a paying investment
is not popularity known. while the former
is not and each year shows a steadily in
creasing deficit. The cause of this is not
far to seek for as soon as the government
took over the system the service was eN-
tended to many small towns. and a uni
form rate over the whole system estab-
iished, which. as 1t exists to-day. is IL cents
for a minimum of twelve words. including
the address This low rate has resulted in
the extensive use of the telegraph. Includ-
ing press work. over G000OO.OOo words are
dispatched in 4 year. or at the rate OF
about 100000 a day. A single office-that
in London-usually handles between 13o $50
and 10000 individual messages in day:
according to the season of the year and
the amount of business done. This. too. is
exclusive of press service. Great advances
have been made In the working of the sys-
tenn. and not being burdened with mo-
nopoly. all new inventions and discoveries
are Immediately tried, while in this coun-
try it is practically impossible to get a
new device adopted. One of the English
triumphs is the use of what is known as
a "Wheatstone automatic, which can
transmit COO per minute when such high
rate is desirable. as is sometimes the case
in press service on the occurrence of some
great important event or the delivery OF an
Important political speech.

WIFE IN INDEPENDENCE.
SHOT HER ON A PUBLIC STREET
HE MET HER WHILE SHE WAS WITH
ANOTHER MAN.
The Bullet Entered Her Brain and
Caused Instant Death-Claims He
Fired at Her Companion
While Defending
Himself.

murder in the locality. At 2:30 o'clock this
morning Con Mabry shot and killed his
common law wife, who prior to entering in
to this arrangement was Hattie Lawson.
Mabry and his victim are colored. He is
a hackdriver in the employ Of Raglan

independence. in the company Of Budd
Palmer another colored man.

ness and attempted to assault her. Palmer
irterfered, and he then drew a revolver.

the brain. killing her instantly. Mabry
then ran away, but he was pursued by
Palmer who raised an alarm that aroused
an officer. who placed him under arrest.

LETTING OUT THEIR FEET.
Custom of Binding Their Feet
to Make Them Small.

There are few people who are not thor
oughly familiar with the custom of the
Chinese women of binding up their feet to
make them as small as possible. But 1t
will be news to most of us that II Is poSSi-
BILE for Chinese women to hedge in the mat
ter and to so bind their feet that. II they
become a wife who has to work. they can
'let their feet out" SO to speak.
A British consul who was stationed for
some years at a Chinese town bears witness
to this fact in the following story: He
was startled one day by an announcement
from his man servant that he had had an
offer of marriage, adding that the woman
had noticed that he was a good looking
fellow. with fine position. and that she
had sent the preliminary "go-betweens"
How much does she cost ard what are her
feet like?' the consul asked. "She says
she requires no body money, and. though
her feet are squeezed. they are not past
letting out
The price of a frst-class marriage. In
cluding trousseau. red chair and music
feasts for the gentry, amounted to 81. and
this the consul agreed to pay. but with one
stipulation: We'll. l won't have small feet
stumping about my premises: If you let her
feet out it is a bargain Within two days
all right: the marriage comes off to-mor-
row.. The consul could not quite make
out how he had managed 1t. but the next
night, while he was sitting at dinner. the
door suddenly opened. and the servant
burst in with his best clothes on and his
bride behind him She was a well dressed
comely woman Of about 50. and her feet
were already "let out" She could walk
quite easily.

A DAINTY DESIGNER.
/ saves Hostesses the Trouble of Ar
ranging n Dinner Table-fOr

There is girl in New York who. through
her own cleverness, has realized quite
tidy little sum for herself this summer,
and hopes to be able to continue to do so
all next winter
She is known among her friends as hav-
ing lovely taste. and has for some time
been turning an honest penny by painting
and drawing dinner cards. Now she paints
designs for dinEer-table decorations. show
ing the table set for just SO many people
as ordered. with flowers. candlesttcks or
lamps, glass, china, napkins and all COM
plete.
The young woman. who began only
about six months ago. has now regularly
gone into the business, and has sent out
neat little cards, with her lame and address,
announcing her intention to take orders
for dinner-table designs for the coming
winter. She goes about it in this way:
First comes a note asking her to call upon
the person intending to give the entertain
ment. She finds out from her the number

and about how much she wishes to spend
, on the floral decoration. says Harpers
Bazaar. They discuss together and settle
between them what china. glass and silver
shall be used. what the color of the flowers
shall be. and also whether lamps. candel-
abra or single candlesticks shall be on the
table.
She then goes home. and draws and
| touches up in bright colors her plan. which
| is SO exact and fixes in such perfect de-
tail all the smallest minutiae Of dinner
table that the hostess can see at 4 glance
exactly how it will look, and in her minds
eye seats her friends. and in her imagin-
alton can almost hear them talking. This
clever young woman has had the good sense
to begin by asking very moderate sum
for her drawings.
For an inexpensive dinner. where small
amount of china and glass is to be used and
where not much money Is to be laid out
on flowers. etc. she charges only $3.50
For an elaborate dinner of from ten to

and all the paraphernalia of a swell
affair. she charges S. She is very busy
just now paintin. some beauties-a car

dinner. and others-which she intends to
take with her as samples. to show what
her work is like. In many cases the taste
CT the whole flower decorations is left to
the artist. as it is by her exquisite taste
that she is making her reputation.

The famous cat which has been the cons.

For week past the engineer and fireman
had noticed a large eagle sitting In a hem

the locomotive. paying no attention to the
huge bird.
On Saturday morning when the train left
Lanesboro the cat crawled out upon the
pilot of the locomotive and prepared for an
enjoyable sun bath. Rounding curve
near South Windsor, the engineer noticed
the eagle sitting in his accustomed nook in
the old hemlock tree. When the locomotive
was Just opposite the tree the eagle with
motive and flercely attacked the cat which
at once put up good fight.
For several seconds there was battle
royal. The eagle made half a dozen at
tempts to carry away the cat bodily. but
each time the cat would make savage
onslaught on the bird with teeth and
claws and the air was full of feathers. As
the train dashed ahead the two men in
with much apprehension. fearing the re-
suit. The whistle was blown. but neither
combatant noticed the sound in the least.
The engineer armed himself with bar
of iron and started out upon the running
board to aid his net. but before he reached
the scene of action the cat had torn a
great hole in the eagles throat and the
bird was in its death struggles. II was
carried into the locomotive tender. where

into the cab. considerably the worse for
wear but still in the ring. The cat no

stare at a woman on the street, and yet
human nature is the same in Turkey as
elsewhere: where there is will there is a

Arrived at these places. which are assured

and watch the gypstes dance. All very

Most Kind.

Among a people who know no way II
canceling a debt except by making pay
ment in kind one is liable to strange expe-
riences. The Maoris of New Zealand are
very exact in this respect, as the following
anecdote illustrates.
During a skirmish the son of a principal
chief fell into the hands of the British.
He was badly wounded in the leg. and am
putation became necessary. after which
the man rapidly recovered.
When the patient was able to be moved.
the chief was informed that he might send
for him. He did so. and the next day
CARLOAD of potatoes arrived in camp as
a present for the general. together with
message of thanks for the kind treatment
his son had experienced.
The chief also declared that in future
he would not kill wounded soldiers who
fell into his hands. but only cut Off a leg
and send them back!

The situation here is steadily growing bet

given to the record Of cases and deaths.
Advices from the country parishes and
the surrounding states say that there is a

to resume traffic.
The reunion committee Of the Elks has
assurances from the board OF health and

be apprehended and that all conventions
fixed to take place in New Orleans can be
held with perfect safety. The Elks are
issuing vigorous circulars to their brethren
throughout the Union.

BLOODHOUNDSW WERE USELESS
FAILED TO TRAIL THE MISSOURI PA.
CIFIO ROBBERS.
Nevertheless the Officers Have n Clue
and Arrests Are Expected at
Almost Any Hour
Now.

Arrests are expected at any hour for tho
Missouri Pacific train robbery of Friday
night, three miles east of Independence.
A farm hand Of the Crackerneck- district
is believed to have been the leader of the
robbers. He has disappeared. but 1t Is
believed that deputy marshals and detec-
tives at work on the case are very close
to rounding up the>whole gang.
Yesterday during the early morning
hours and weh up into the forenoon posses
of men. under the direction of County
Marshal s. H. Chiles. trudged over the
entire section near the point where the
Missouri Pacific passenger train wa; held
up. Friday night. Early yesterday morn
ing a buggy blanket and shot sack were
@ Iound near raiifence not far from the
taken to Independence.
Marshal Chiles had with him the two
bloodhounds brought from Bates county.
They were taken to the scene of the rob-
berry and given the scent at n point where
the robbers jumped from the engine and
express car. The dogs with a low. mellow
scent was struck and OF they shot.
Through the forest from the track on to the
prairie and then back down to the Kelly
road the dogs sniffed the ground and the
officer thought that there would be some
dhins l come out OF It. DowE to the road the
the se 81 the e.
tracks were found and the trail ceased
The dogs could go no further The scent
which they had followed from the place Of
the holdup to the road was not a great
distance; but the action of the robbers in
getting into the buggy broke the scent
The robbers might have Travelled a long
distance before getting out of the buggy
again. but the dogs were circled and cir
cled for a wide area without results Then
1t was determined that the blood hounds
could not be of service
1t Is thought that the blanket and shot
bag found near the scene belong to the
train robbers. and that In them they ex-
pected to carry away the booty. They were
abandoned because the $40 secured could
be carried otherwise
This was the first time that blood hounds
had been brought into use In Crackerneck
robberies. 1t Is believed II the blood mounds
had been used in other holdups on the
Alton. there might have been better re-
suits The dogs used yesterday are splen-
did animals. reared from fine stock. used
at penitentiaries for tracking prisoners.
